calling all grubs

[onlyasign]

[The video shows a much happier, more content Sufferer than the network has seen lately. In fact, he almost looks like Signless again. Over his shoulder, the video catches a cat-troll, one who could easily be mistaken for Disciple except for her shorter hair and blue kitty hat, sitting on a couch and cuddling something, with two kittens bounding around her. The audio catches the occasional giggle, purr, or squeak.]

Hello! It seems we're under another curse. I'm unaffected by this one, but many of my friends are not. If anyone finds someone who looks like this, please bring them to me.

[He holds up a picture of a... well, it looks like a giant, smiling maggot baby. Which is basically what it is. This is an Alternian grub, everyone.]

My assistant Nepeta and I will take charge of him or her for the week, if you aren't interested in caring for them.

[OOC: answers can come from Sufferer or Nepeta or both!]

Wonder all you want about it, but I don't want to fathom it.

[Being an adult comes with its issues, but it's better than being a tiny, wriggly, nigh defenseless little thing.]

Gamzee's fine. He's like 3 sweeps old, give or take, and he neither has his memory nor his taste for sopor, meaning the bundle of corpse rot decided to club me in the knee when I came over to see what happened to him. I have since taken him under my watch, barely have a clue what I'm doing, and suspect that sooner or later I'll wind up tossing glitter around the hive in a half-sane prayer to his awful clown gods for safe passage through the rest of the curse.

So young! He must be tiny. ...oww, are you okay?

I can come over and spend some time with him too if you want, I'll bring colours and paper, he likes drawing. It should keep him busy for a while!

I am fine. I would be one sorry ass excuse for a troll if a bruised knee was my undoing.

Maybe later in the week I'll give you a call and you can try it. I'm still getting him used to the idea of being looked after by me for the week, and I don't want you getting on his bad side just by being some unfamiliar troll coming in.

Okay! Then I'll wait to hear from you. If you need anything at all let me know! He's purrobably quite a handful like that.

Is it three hole handfuls, ergo keeping track of him is like a particularly inept juggling act.

[Huff.]

But yeah, I'll let you know if anything like that comes up. Good luck with your batch of grubs; even with Gamzee, I still don't envy you.
