[sermon 5] basically, my epiphany is that I see you for you

WHO: Nicholas D. Wolfwood and you
WHERE: the network, Undertown, and wherever else your heart may desire
WHEN: 9/3
WHAT: sometimes you are Nicholas D. Wolfwood, God's favorite jester, and a weird gray little man takes your arms and legs off with a bucket of fuck knows what; also known as 'Wolfwood finds out he's a selkie in a fun an interesting way'.
WARNINGS: Wolfwood swearing? not much else that I'm thinking off of the top of my head.


[i. network post; text to video; UN: ndwolfwood ]

jkl90JKLjdsaoi$#mj@jf fjdsfsd'fd''''fsdfsj4$kf l;ksd ;ldsnjnkkk

[ --and then the video portion of the post kicks in; there's a vague blackness that's way, way too close to the camera to be anything but fuzzy darkness, the vague sounds of the daily noises of life--further off traffic, distant voices, and heavy, distressed breathing.

Wolfwood('s voice) is also swearing up a blue streak as something hits his phone, over and over--presumably him? ]


Fuck, fuck, fuck, c'mon, will you just call Vash or Dante or fucking, somebody? Fuck, fuck, fuck--oi! Oi, oi, you get out of that pot and I'm ripping your fucking leg off, you hear me?!

[ the darkness leaves the phone and it's just staring up at the ceiling and there's a lot of distressed yelling--'no, no' interlaced with 'help' and Wolfwood continuing to use up this month's ration of the word fuck, the sound of a heavy piece of ceramic wobbling on the floor after a series of dull, angry thuds scored with a chorus of frightened yelling and more cursing, and then there's a heavy, laborious thumping as the fuzzy blackness drags itself back to the camera of the phone ]

Fuck, it called somebody? Fine, whatever-- Hey, uh. Whoever got this, this is Wolfwood, I'm in Undertown, and some asshole little gray man threw some sort of--juice on me that took my arms and legs. I could use a hand. Two hands. And if you could hold the little bastard while I bite his face off, that'd be great.

[ the voice in the background wails; 'but it's was only water, yes yes! no magic potion or GO AWAY YOU BEAST AIIIIE HELP ME!!'. the darkness moves away from the camera and the ceramic thumping and swearing recommences until the record function runs out of space and the post goes up. ]


[ii. out and about; wolfwood in distress ]

[ and for anybody who does go to find one Nicholas D. Wolfwood, his arms and legs seemingly stolen by a little gray man, they will instead find a rather middling-sized grayblack seal bouncing (somewhat literally) between harassing a poor Namazu shopkeep where he cowers in a large earthenware pot and attempting to scale a decently sized crate. if you're lucky, he might even be draped over the seat of the crate like the world's angriest sushi topper. an upturned bucket is left, listless, beside the trapped Namazu shopkeep.

sometimes you're god's funniest little clown and you are so, so full of rage about it. and yes, the seal has cat ears. angry, angry cat ears, folded back like he's directing airplanes to crash into the side of the building he's stuck by.

arboreal seals real. ]

[Jun received the message while he was doing some studying at the PICHU facility. It was a confusing but also really concerning message, so of course he was going to go out to investigate. He'll even don his shroud uniform because you know what, easier than explaining why a small twink has the strength to carry around someone the size of Wolfwood.

What he isn't expecting when he heads to the spot in Undertown is to find...a seal. A very angry looking seal with cat ears. Cautiously he'll look between the distressed catfish creature and the seal]


...Wolfwood?

[ after getting this text from a little shit -- he's going to immediately slam into here. ]

Undertown??? I'm on my way. You--you don't have arms or legs? What do you mean!? Did someone hurt you, do you need me to bring any of your vials??

If they never come back, what will happen to your bike?

Or your gun?

[That...sure is a seal giving him a super surly expression. It takes a fair amount of self control not to laugh]

Shroud. I exorcised your house once of a poltergeist?

[He considers for a moment kneeling down to Wolfwood's level, but he rather not get slapped in the face with flippers so he'll abstain]

I saw your message on the app and I was in the area, so I came to help.

....Sounds like some sort of curse. Whatever it is, I'm still worried.

Weird stumps...

Okay, I'm on my way, hold on. Just...
Give me a general idea where you are. I'm gonna' keep you on the phone while I'm coming.

Are you okay? You're not like. Wounded?

Just curious.

I texted Vash for you, by the way.

[you're welcome.]

Now, Ritsuka doesn't particularly know this guy, but she's sure not someone to ignore such a desperate-sounding cry for help. Not to mention alarming-sounding.

"Wh-what do you mean took your arms and legs??"

[personal profile] ornamentals 2023-09-04 02:29 am (UTC)(link)
Don't assume. It's a bad look on you.

[rolling his eyes now]

He didn't get the call until I told him.

[you are welcome.]

[...That. Is weirdly adorable. He really wishes he could get a picture of all this dammit.

He just gives a non-committal "don't worry about it" shrug at the apology. He's pretty used to people being suspicious of him in this outfit. At what Wolfwood says, he does take a moment to look around at the liquid on the ground]


I'm not sensing anything magical from it, whatever it is.
prunedworlds: (what's going on?)

"So you got turned into something...?"

That sounds a bit less alarming, at least. And now she's wracking her brain trying to think of whether she can guess what. Snake's obviously right out because they don't have even stubby limbs...

"Uh, that is, do you still need help? You said you were somewhere in Undertown, right?"

[personal profile] doubledollar 2023-09-04 02:41 am (UTC)(link)
I, I mean. The same kind that gives you cat ears from a headband...
Or ghosts from a pile of socks...

[ be realistic, wolfwood, water turning you into a Creachur isn't exactly out-of-hand... ]

Come on, come on--don't kill the guy, I'm sure he was just playing a prank...!

Most curses don't last more than a few days, you know??

[ oh they have no idea... ]
prunedworlds: (feeling calm)

[personal profile] prunedworlds 2023-09-04 02:46 am (UTC)(link)
"Maybe try to feel instead of looking?

"I mean, try to move a little and see what it feels like or something..."

You know, like checking to make sure everything still works and you've got all your limbs after being in a scrape and not being able to visually confirm at the moment. That sort of thing.

"And I dunno either, but I could come see if there's anything I can do if you want?"

I'm not sure yet. But I can tell you you're a seal, not a floppy tube being.

[He'll admit. There's a lot of unknown factors about this and jun wasn't one to expression theories without proper evidence.

...But he does know people are definitely staring at this whole debacle. Even for Undertown this is weird]


...How about I carry you over to Cygnus? It's more private than here and we can see about getting your human form back.
