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?

'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.

[ornamentals]

i guess.
what other things are you working on now?

[better safe than sorry!]

I always keep my promises.

[much to the detriment of humankind :')]

it's unwise [read: dangerous] giving out personal information over a network anyone can read.
especially if you have enemies.

[droptheious]

Oh! I've been working on getting a pirate ship set up with a generator system so it can have power. That's pretty cool!

[He's excited about powering the stupid pirate ship.]

Yeah, I knew someone who used to say that. Right until she didn't.

[Also much to the detriment of...well all of Corona instead. Smaller scale. ]

Right? People say just about ANYTHING on there and it's like, super obvious that they've never had any enemies to watch out for.

[ornamentals]

a real pirate ship?
is it for that one person with the rat cook?

[pirates aren't as cool as cowboys, but a functioning pirate ship in the modern age is pretty neat.]

was she a friend?

[a friend who made a promise they couldn't keep.]

well
at least their stupidity gives me something to read in the morning.

[droptheious]

Yeah, that's it! Edward. It's in the docks, it's really neat. It reminds me of Corona a little.

[Edward is only a century behind him timewise, which is refreshingly close, honestly. The Jackdaw is a nice reminder of a time he's not seen for a while now. ]

She was. Is??? I guess. A princess. She was here for a couple of months. She's gone now. Back there, hopefully.

I guess there is that, normally I just leave them to it. I can't keep track of all the gossip.

[He's not social enough for that nonsense. ]
