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!]

[bestestfurrend]

Heehee, we'll be waiting for you!

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[Not too much later there's a polite knock at door.]

[bestestfurrend]

[And the door is soon answered! By a beaming Nepeta cradling an equally happy-looking Digrub in the crook of one arm.]

Hi Kanaya!

[sylphauxiliatrix]

Hello.

[Excuse Kanaya's stoicism... she's doing her best at the moment to refrain from cooing the absolute shit out of Digrub. Kanaya's always tried to treat the adult trolls around here with respect, And she doesn't thing it would be right to just baby them, even if they are in fact, babies thanks to a curse. And it's the Disciple...]

She's so... small.

[She can't help the small touch of wonder in her voice. Don't worry, she's moments away from breaking down into a puddle of d'aww.]

[bestestfurrend]

Here! You should hold her too!

[Just passing along Digrub to Kanaya like it's no big deal, still cooing over her.]

Do you remember Kanaya, Mama?

Let me just threadjack... right... in here.

[feralfanatic]

[The tiny Disciple-grub cocks her little head at the newcomer. So many new things today! Another troll that felt... familiar. So many people she felt comfortable around, all of them fun! It had been a busy day.]

Krrr!

[Regardless of how she felt, there was someone new to explore! Di-grub extends her front two claws towards the new person, quite anxiously.]

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[Well, that does it. Kanaya may have a great deal of respect for the Disciple, she may be constantly concerned with her own demure appearance... but she isn't made of stone. Besides, this bitty Digrub is cute enough to crack any sort of respectability.]

Eeee! She's adorable!

[Kanaya accepts the offered grub, cradling the disciple in her arms and using a free hand to play with the little one.]

Have we found any others like this? Who's been affected?

[bestestfurrend]

I knooooow!

[Don't mind Nepeta, she's just going to stick her face into Kanaya's arms to nuzzle Digrub some more. She can't stay away!]

Sollux has! And Eridan, but he's still in his normal mind, he's only physically younger. Signless is searching for more!

[sylphauxiliatrix]

[Kanaya certainly doesn't mind. After all, she's the one that joined the nuzzle party.]

Hopefully we can find everyone. I might have to go out to check on anybody we haven't heard from, just to be sure.

[bestestfurrend]

But after you've played with Disciple a bit! She's been wanting to see you, I'm sure! Look how happy she is.

[sylphauxiliatrix]

Oh, of course!

[She tussles Digrub's hair a bit, continuing to lavish attention on the little wiggler.]
