WHO: Varian and YOU
WHERE: The network
WHEN: 17th September
WHAT: Varian gets a worem
WARNINGS: Teenage screaming.

[The feed opens to Varian looking VERY distressed, pointing at his head.]

OH MY GOD, the weird worm thing happened to me!!!

[His one teal hairstripe is now own of those worems, it wiggles about with it's wide, unblinking gaze. It does not seem to care the distress its causing the person it's attached to.]

This is NOT something that should happen to someone twice in their lives! At least the last one was a dimensional anomaly and it stopped when I got out of there. Does anyone know how to get rid of it? Other people have HAD this right?

[Sulkily:]

It's bad enough I've got the sundrop power in my hair too, which I absolutely should not have because that thing got thrown into SPACE. Can weird stuff stop happening to my hair please?

[Kni why are you like this.]

I'm not gonna cut it off! It's alive!! And attached to my skull!!

[ornamentals]

[he craves chaos.]

skull or scalp? those are two very different places for it to be connected.
how alive is it? can it talk?

[droptheious]

Scalp, I guess? But I don't wanna be SCALPED!! That kills people!!

It's uh. Wriggling. A lot. It's not speaking, which honestly I am super glad of because the last time this happened the snake did and it was freaky.

[ornamentals]

not if you do it correctly.

what did you do last time this happened?

[droptheious]

Kni, please don't tell me this is you telling me that you know how to scalp people.

I came out of the pocket dimension that caused it and it vanished.

[ornamentals]

not from experience, but i've read enough to be confident if the occasion ever arose.

sounds like you're stuck then.
that sucks.

[droptheious]

...Buddy, that's not as comforting as you probably think it is.

Ugh. Maybe it'll wear off? Stuff does sometimes, right?

[ornamentals]

i aim for solutions, not comfort.

i guess so.
you've been here longer than i have.
magic curses seem to be pretty nebulous in how long they last.
it could be permanent.

[droptheious]

...Duly noted.

Yeah, like I've had stuff that only lasted a short amount of time but then like, the werewolf thing just stuck around and got actively MORE. So. I guess it could go either way??

[ornamentals]

'werewolf thing'?

[droptheious]

I'm a werewolf. It started December- kinda slow at first, but if I go into the spirit realm and in the city during the full moon nights, I...turn into a wolf. Not like, four-legged, like some people I know. But still. Wolf person. Werewolf.

I can't control it.

[ornamentals]

these curses can get that bad?
hm.

[rip wolfwood]

you can't control the transformation or you can't control yourself?

[droptheious]

[Sucks to be woowoo]

Oh YEAH. I know some people who figured out better control of them, but not for me. It can get SO bad.

Both, I guess? I can't control the transformation at any point, but once the full moon comes around I lose control of myself, too. I usually just make sure I'm out in the state park away from everyone when it happens. Just to be safe.

[ornamentals]

if you bite or scratch someone, would that turn them into a werewolf too?
like in the stories.

[droptheious]

As far as I'm aware I haven't bitten or scratched anyone yet. It's one of the reasons I keep out of other people's way when it's a full moon. I don't wanna risk the chance of it happening.

[ornamentals]

that's considerate of you.

does it hurt when you transform?

[droptheious]

I don't want to cause the people in this city any more trouble than I have already, honestly.

Nah. It's kind of like needing to sneeze? And then I change and it's pretty much instant. It's kind of a relief when I do.

[He doesn't want to unpack THAT, no sir!]

[ornamentals]

ah, a troublemaker. i see.

[kni please]

that's how most sneezes work.
do you think in dog thoughts?

[droptheious]

Mostly not intentionally! It's usually a side effect of my science experiments.

...

...

I mean.

I guess. I don't really remember it.

[ornamentals]

your experiments can cause that much damage?
i want to see.

have you ever tried wearing a camera around your neck before you transform?
i saw a video of someone doing that with their dog.
it seems applicable here.

[droptheious]

I'm trying my best to cause FEWER explosions these days. But sure, okay, we can drop by Hyrule sometime. I'm still trying to get the Ultrahand to be more stable. It tends to explode a lot.

...

You know I have not. That's not actually a bad idea.

[ornamentals]

that's not some kind of new arm for vash, is it?
he already has plenty.

so, if you do it you'll have to show me the footage.

[droptheious]

Oh no. That's just what it's called. It's this strange chemical compound that binds mechanical pieces together. I've been trying to make a tank.

[Because sometimes you just wanna make a tank!]

If I do this I need you to not put it on the network.

[ornamentals]

did you invent it yourself?
and why a tank?

[why a tank, indeed...]

i promise i won't.
i don't see the appeal in posting things here.

[droptheious]

Nah, it's something that already existed in this world. But I might be able to improve it! And I don't know. Given how much happens here a tank felt...appropriate.

[Not that it can leave Hyrule, but that's just incidental!!]

Don't make promises unless you know you can keep them.

[He has... a thing about promises. ]

But yeah, I know what you mean. I really don't get the social media thing.
