[me and my robot wife - spellcasting]
WormWood
In contrast to the night before, Bean slept through the night without interruption. But the morning after came and he still didn't feel particularly rested. Light filters in through the blinds, and he turns to face the wall for a while to debate with himself if he really wanted to get up.

He relents. There was things to be done. As he starts to pick himself up, his ribs ache on cue. Right. Of course. He remembered now.
WormWood
He needed that extra motivation to move himself from his room. It was easy enough to get, turning on his phone and taking a quick look at anything he's missed during the night.
WormWood
It was quiet. Nothing new during the night. He wilts slightly, bringing up his DMs.
WormWood
"Morning Sunshinneeee ^^ "
Artie
"OH MY GOOOOOOD HI WORMY!!!!!!!!!"
Artie
"Going to have an awesome day today?"
WormWood
"Mmmhhm, day off. I was thinking of sleeping in a lil' even. Kind of a nice day for that. You having a good one Funnybun?"
Artie
"Ummmmmm I'm kind of having a bit of a stressful day.........Some stuff happened with the election yesterday..."
Artie
"Ehhhh I won't bore you with political nonsense......"
Artie
"Ummmmmmmmm there was one more thing that's been stressing me out but I don't know how to tell you...."
WormWood
Something stressful happened on tv. It'll probably be the first thing he hears about the second he steps out of his room. "Oh, uh. Yeah, what's up?"
Artie
"......................................................"
Artie
"................................................................................."
Artie
"I CAN'T TELL YOU BECAUSE I DON'T KNOW HOW TO."
Artie
"Do I just blurt it out?"
WormWood
"Uhh... well uhm.. You can just, blurt it out. You can be blunt, I don't mind." Bean braces for impact.
Artie
"Ok. Well....I was talking to like....the smartest person on the planet (who isn't a singularity) and she gave me some advice I really should listen to....cause uh, she's like, right, she's always right because she's smart. She like, does all the emotional math. So here it goes......"
Artie
"I love you."
Artie
"But I really shouldn't."
Artie
"I tried asking her, "Would it ever work out between us?" and she kept going "Girl you have to drop him!" and I was like AAAAAAAH!!!! I DON'T WANT TO!....and uh....then she told me something really bad......"
Artie
"She told me.....it's kind of my fault you're like this........I'm like......holding you up emotionally."
Artie
"And that as long as I'm around....you'll always have something to look forward to, and uh, maybe you'd leave your terrible situation if there wasn't anything left for you to hold on to...."
Artie
"I didn't want to do this I swear! But I cannot stress this Wormy, she's the smartest person I know!"
WormWood
Bean hasn't said a thing, as time had started to stand still while Artie kept talking at him. He can feel sweat collect at his palms.

"Like......is she right? Like, that's the issue, I have no one else to compare her thoughts on this situation on, and like uh, I don't want to be keeping you down in that terrible hole anymore."
Artie
"She said you'd probably would look for someone else to date if I wasn't here......"
Artie
"She also said I'd look a little harder too....."
WormWood
Bean felt sick. He felt sick. I feel sick. I feel sick.
WormWood
"Uh-" Bean turns to clear his throat for a moment. "I- uh."
WormWood
"...I uh.. don't know Artie. I haven't done this before either." For as much as his mind raced, nothing came up to the surface for him to say. He must of looked stupid there just saying nothing.
WormWood
"...Maybe uh... I need some time to think on this. Can we just hit pause on this for a bit."
Artie
"I'm sorry...... I'm sorry I told you this on your day off....but when else could I??????"
Artie
"If I told you on a workday, I would have been adding more stress to an already horrible day."
Artie
"If I tell you on your day off, I'm ruining the only good day you have...."
Artie
"I HATE YOUR JOB."
WormWood
"Artie."
Artie
"Sorry I just."
Artie
"I wish you didn't have that awful job. I just wish you could be happy and free. It's like you're stuck in a half formed cocoon and no one can try to remove you or else your lame job pokes and stabs at us."
Artie
"I even got you tickets to leave and offered to pay your rent for another island for a bit......"
WormWood
"I-I know."
Artie
"I can't wait forever, and nor can you."
Artie
"What if you finally escape and you don't even like me like that anymore.....?"
Artie
"Then I'm going to be the asshole....."
WormWood
He struggles with himself. "You're not an asshole Artie. Just. Stop, ok? Just stop."
WormWood
"Look. If you're going to go. Please just go. I can't say what's right here. But I think..."
WormWood
"This sucks. And we've had this exact conversation how many times now?"
WormWood
"We can't keep doing this forever."
WormWood
"I'm sorry."

"We haven't had this exact conversation before. Usually I just end it on "I hate your job" or "Your job is ruining your life" or that one time I said "Your job is ruining both of our lives", that one wasn't cool and I'm sorry about that...."

"......but I don't think it has ever gotten to the point of "I think I'm ruining your life.""
Artie
"I still want to you really bad, but, I need to know it's not going to help."
Artie
"Talking to your ex never works out....."
WormWood
"Artie. I don't think you're the issue here."
WormWood
"...I know. I do too. I really wanted this to just, keep going as normal."
Artie
"I'm one of your issues even if I don't mean to be. That really smart person she like, told me so."
Artie
"She said.....imagine being reminded of your failures everyday, and uh, that failure being lots of fun. It's gotta grate on the mind."
WormWood
"...Artie. I think I'm gunna go. This is, too much. I want to say I'm blind-sighted but.. "
WormWood
"I'm just going to go."

"Sorry. I hope things get better. Even if I don't get to see it happen....."

"You're not going to fly until all these weights are off you, and I'm just one of them.....I always wanted to see it happen, but I think it's ok if I don't get to."
Artie
"It's your week, Wormy! I'm sending you all my luck. Maybe I'll summon a pair of wings for you!"
Artie
"You just have to believe. Ok? I know when I talk about these things you don't really believe me but....."
Artie
"My final request, is that you just believe me in all this nonsense just once, ok?"
Artie
".........................................................................................."
Artie
"BY THE WAY WE CANNOT CHANGE THE BUCKINGHAM AND O-11 PLOTLINE BECAUSE IT'S TOO CONNECTED TO A BUNCH OF CHARACTERS SO I'M VERY SORRY YOU HAVE TO SEE THAT EVERY TIME YOU LAUNCH THE GAME. WOOPS......OH WELL. BYE."
Artie has ended the chat.
WormWood
Bean had already turned over the phone before Artie could give him his final send off. It was too much.
WormWood
Time passes without Bean noticing. As it turn out, he'd be sleeping in anyways, waking up some time after with a pillow clutched in his arms. He did have plans today. Maybe it was ok if they came a little later, because his legs simply would move no matter how much he attempted to will himself to.
WormWood
Until hunger would eventually drive him out from his nest. It's ok. He'll be ok. He's always makes it out ok, one way or another.

He just needed to get through this day.
Bean's phone shakes as more messages pour in.
WormWood
"....."
WormWood
"......."
WormWood
Deep breath. He shuts his phone off, anything to get this off his mind for now. It's a quick stop to the kitchen for some cereal (no milk), and then to the couch. Everything was going to be ok if he just kept a straight face.

Last edit: 2026-03-29 20:16:32
Subspecies: Pedigree Jersey Giant Beetle. Notably a 'forever grub', a genetic condition that stunts a beetle's growth.
Status: Alive and physically healthy, if not a little overweight. Currently on medication for depression.
Social name: Winnie. Responds to Wormwood as well.
Temperament: Wary but polite around other animals. Hard working to a fault. Has a drowsy demeanor when relaxed. Shows no fear towards me and will eat right out of my hand. However, he is conditioned to ragdoll when picked up.
Genetic Future: Biologically female, however presents as male. Outlook bleak. Has been considered for breeding project should there be interest in grubs, but mental health needs work first.
Past History: Offspring of a pedigree project after the introduction of a wild beetle mate (Both parents of this project are now deceased, shame.) Of his six other siblings, he was the only one with the 'stunted' condition. Was sold prior to knowing that he was stunted, and was sent back after age of maturity. Sold again to different owner, whom was excited to care for a 'forever grub'. However, Bean's mental health took a sharp decline, and was subsequently surrendered back to me . Has since been reintegrated into the wild.

Notes:

  • Seems to dislike their current job and living space but doesn't make an effort to leave. Difficult to discern the reasoning behind this.

  • Likes to have an excess of bedding to sleep underneath, and will sleep for almost alarmingly long periods if permitted. Grub behavior.

  • Although cute, it's to be determined if breeding for this trait may not be within the animal's best interest.

  • Will not be looking to rehome Bean in the meantime.

Siete
Siete has already occupied half the sofa. He greets his roommate with a giddy smile.
"............."
Siete
Chance
Subspecies: Snail Pedigree
Status: Alive.
Social name: Siete
Temperament: Wary and antagonistic. Despite his loner tendencies, he prefers to spend his free time in the company of others and forms very strong bonds. Responds well to praise. Nervous during handling.
Genetic Future: Biologically female. Preference for male pronouns. Shows no interest in future relationships, and I refuse to send workers until he corrects his behavioral issues. He is the father to one child currently in his care, which, despite its wild parent, shows very promising coloration.

Past History: Adopted to live off-planet at a young age. Held a steady job and bonded considerably with a wild human who would become the parent of his child, though the two were separated at some point. The following combination of behavioral issues and his owner's apprehension to support an infant snail led to his surrender. Has since reintegrated with the population and is in contact with his family.


Notes:

  • His colors shift very slightly due to his Lockheed F-117 Nighthawk heritage, though he has no conscious control over this.

  • Pulls his hood up as a nervous habit.

  • Originally worked as a death notifier before his adoption, although the job proved too emotionally taxing. As such, the job was reassigned to an older sibling.

  • Since his reintegration, has no motivation to seek or hold a new job. Though it would be a blow to my pedigree project, snails cannot live without a job, and as such, he is at risk of being culled until he can find new work.

"Somebody died on TV last night."
WormWood
"Yeah-"
WormWood
"......"
WormWood
"Fuck." STUPID. STUPID STUPID STUPID. He leans forward, head in his hands.
Siete
"Oh. Erm-" He recoils slightly, hands shooting up on instinct, "I mean, I-I don't think you knew the guy!?"
Siete
"Shit, uh... Look, it's gonna be okay, man. He was. Like. Apparently he was an alien? Everybody was pretty onboard it was fine-"
WormWood
"N- I mean, uh." Worm catches his breath for a moment, rubbing his eyes. "I MEAN YEAH I was uh. Fuck. Don't worry about man I'm just touchy right now. It's like. Sad to see a guy go out like that."
WormWood
He sighs, and stuffs more dry cereal into his mouth. It's kind of stale. "I'm good dude, sorry."
Siete
He shrugs, "I mean, if it's any consolation, I'd say their team still stands a pretty good chance? That wolf fella from the pens had some good fucking points."
Siete
"Murder-bot gives me the creeps, though. Anyways, I didn't really take you for being this into politics, usually you blow me off 'bout this sorta thing..."
WormWood
"The uh, green guy right?" He fumbles around for the remote. "I mean it's not like I can avoid it, that shit's everywhere on the net right now. I can't do anything without someone going on a mile long rant about why Boe's going to get us all killed or some sort of tin-foil shit abt the night party."
WormWood
...He's going to regret asking this. But hearing Siete talk was better than being alone with his brain right now. "So uh, who's uh... got your vote right now.."
Siete
"Big bad wolf ain't looking so bad, gonna be honest."
WormWood
"That one sounded like he's got some uh, scary ideas."

"The pens fucking suck, dude. I can't imagine how it is for people who have to spend any longer there than I did. I 'unno, even the ones that are past reform, just let those people go back to their families, man..." He shifts his weight on the sofa, "It should at least be their decision."
WormWood
Worm idly flips channels. "Fair enough. Kill all singularities though seems kinda tall order though." Click. Click. Click.
WormWood
"I probably ought to be actually watching the debates than getting everything from randos though. They make it sound like the world's ending."
Siete
"And they haven't even elected anybody yet. Guess it's better to assume worst-case and be prepared..." He crosses his arms and leans back on the couch, turning his attention back towards the TV.

He nods, turning over the rest of the bowl's contents into his mouth before settling on a channel. "It's the same shit as every time dude. People get really upset for like a week or two and then everythin' goes back to normal again."
Siete
"Mmhm. In your case it was, what, 20 seconds for you to get all the crying out your system? Think we'll be alright."
WormWood
He grumbles. "Yeaahh whatever. It's the singu jabbin' at my brain, you know it does that sometimes."

"I've seen you get all stupid emotional over your shows before."
Siete
Siete shoots a glare at his roommate, "...You're talking over the weather, asshole."

Perilaus
Subspecies: Pedigree Snail
Status: Alive and at the prime of his life.
Social name: Aestus. Only responds to social name and notably grows hostile when called by pet name.
Temperament: While on the surface it seems they have that lovely "uncaring look" it only takes a few hours of observation to notice this lovely display be shattered. Eyes are too bright, smile too large, it just ruins the look. He sits in an uncanny middle, and it would be better if he would just pick to be normal.
Genetic Future: Male. Currently has a partner and a child. I had originally thought this pair would produce many children but despite making a child less than a year into their courtship (Strange for humans) they have yet to produce another. Mate has intense depression after birth, could this be why? Outlook is fine.
Past Hitory: Was returned due to irresponsible care habits, leading to behavior that kept him in the pens for a while. Quickly integrated with wild fauna, though he might be hiding deeper behavior.


Notes:

  • Delivers news on TV. Real or fabricated, and sent out orally or in print. He is one of the planet's most popular news anchors currently. I don't think he does a very good job but at least it fulfills his natural need to deliver something.

  • Early in life he noticed there was a lower supply of caffeine being delivered to one island and an over abundance of caffeine being sent to another. I purposefully do this to encourage trading behavior in humans. Acting on this natural behavior he set up a system that transported caffeine from one island to the other. For unknown reasons other humans became angry at him over this and proceeded to, at one point, verbally and physically harass him over this. Absolute nonsense. I suppose the others couldn't see that he was just engaging in natural trading behavior.

  • Has a personality that is considered offputting and infuriating according to some humans who have worked with him in the past, but only his extremely rare outbursts are notable. His "stalking" tendencies are also observed by everyone unfortunate enough to cross his path.

  • Has been affected by memory fire. He is notably disturbed by this.

  • When cracking under pressure or during outbursts, has a tendency to destabilize, which scares other fauna. While snails are already naturally destabilized his extreme destabilizations, while totally natural for his species, are alarming to the normal population.

  • For every 100 humans I send out to excited pet owners, I get one sent back, and this is one of them. I don't know what happened. In fact, the pet owner said they just "let humans be humans without intervening" and pulled this one out because it was acting just a bit too strange. Wish I could know what happened to give him this uncanny personality. Maybe he was born with it and it was only activated once placed in a new situation?

Subspecies: Pedigree Snail
Status: Alive and Healthy
Social name: Nugget

Temperament: Don't care. She's ugly.
Genetic Future: Hope she dies peacefully at the age of 60 in her sleep, unmarried.
Past History: I am not taking notes on this ugly baby. Maybe she'll grow into better patterns later.


Notes:

  • Please let their parents have more children.

  • To self: If her parents don't have more children by her 10th birthday you have to start taking actual notes on this ugly baby.

  • I'm sure she's a nice child, I just do not care.

He was only really half paying attention. 'Setting up distractions' for himself doesn't work quite as well as he'd hope it would, given he spends so much time overthinking. The mere mention of pluto was enough to bring back the spiral.

"Thought Uno was WAY cooler than that."

Siete rummages around in the artificial bedding for a moment, before retrieving a soft, pink grub, carefully pinching it between his thumb and forefinger as it wriggles around.
WormWood
Bean does just that, unloading a box full of plush wilmores. They're as cheap as it comes, the type you'd see strung up among a carnival game or packed inside a crane machine. Carefully, they're gutted, re-stuffed with something a little extra, and then stitched back up by Bean.

"Dunno, maybe that's what she likes. Opposites attract, or however that goes."
WormWood
"Oh hey, special order here from one of the regs. Put an extra in the next one."
Siete
"It REALLY doesn't get much more opposite than him, I'll give you that one." He plucks a second grub from the box and passes them along.
WormWood
"Don't worry buddy, y'goin' to a good home." He mutters to the squirming grub, placing the pre-mades into a different box. "Maybe I ought to reach out to em. We didn't really uh, talk, he just pulled me into an interview."
WormWood
"I was in costume. Can't really talk when I'm workin'."
Siete
"I mean, frankly, I'm surprised he's still dealing. Maybe you two might actually have something to talk about now."
WormWood
"Not gunna lie, could use some caffeine more than ever right now." He rubs his temples. "I'm sure he's got other stuff goin' on though. He's got like, a kid. ...A kid that runs their mouth a lot."
WormWood
"Speaking of, hows your's doin'? Shit, I didn't even ask if they've got breakfast, I woke up late as fuck."
Siete
Siete points a thumb back towards the kitchen counter. There is a large bowl sitting atop an absorbent pad, completely soaked through.
Siete
"You may have noticed there's no milk in the fridge."

"Kid ate, he's fine. Letting him schmooze around the bedroom for now until he's tuckered out, I'll go find 'im later on."
WormWood
Sigh of relief. "Noted. Probably ought to invest in a grocery trip soon-"
There's a flutter of wings before someone knocks on the front door.
[Danganronpa V3 - 43. Let's Killing]
????
"I see you left the door unlocked for me." The doorknob rattles as the large bird attempts to open it.
Siete
".........."
WormWood
"...........Uh." Oh it's over. It's literally over. He's fucked. They're fucked. Bean leans over to see, plushie still in hand.
WormWood
"Dude put the stuff in the box, put the stuff in the fucking box-"
Siete
Siete slams the lid back on the tote, shooting daggers at Wormwood. He hisses through his teeth, "You didn't tell me the fucking COPS WERE ON THEIR WAY."
WormWood
"I DIDN'T FUCKING KNOW!" He hisses through his teeth.
Cowboy
Cowboy gets the door open. "Mighty fine of you to leave the door unlocked!"
Cowboy
"Hope I didn't scare you!"
Cowboy
"Ooooooh, are you boys up to some packing?"
Siete
"FUCK." Siete scrambles behind Wormwood like a wounded animal, shoving the tote bin back against the wall as he does.
WormWood
"HHeeeyyy there, Officer! We're uh, we're just uh-!" He has his hands up, toy wilmore clutched in one hand.
Cowboy's mind goes blank seeing the doll.
Cowboy
"HHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!!!!!!"
Cowboy
Cowboy grabs the doll and uses his mouth to rip the head off.
WormWood
He backs himself and Siete up against the wall. It's literally Over he's going to die Now.
Cowboy
He immediately calms down after ripping the plush to shreds. "Ooooooh maybe I should have asked you to not have any plushies around when I came over.~"
Cowboy
"I'll pay for it don't worry........" Cowboy tilts his head at the two panicking people. "Oh don't worry I'm not going to do that to you Wormwood and uhhhhh..........."
Cowboy
"I think you're one of Cargo's siblings?"
WormWood
"We're just packin' up dolls man I work for the park I swear! I-I can show you credentials and- Uh. Uh. Uh."
WormWood
Bean turns to Siete. "Dude he knows us."
Siete
Siete regrets not writing his will. "O-o-oh, yeah, maybe you should have asked ahead of time, you fucking cop- y'goddamn... i'm-"
Siete
"I'm- what?"
Cowboy
"I'm not a............." Cowboy sighs. He's starting to get the picture.
Fuck Wormwood. He's never fucking consistent unless it has something to do with work. Fucking idiot.
Cowboy
"Wormwood......"
Cowboy
"You got my message that I needed a place to stay for the night, right?"
WormWood
"......"
WormWood
"Oh, fuck." He fumbles for his phone to turn it on. "H-hold on."
Cowboy
"It's me, Cowboy! I know we never met before but I figured since we've been friends for years I could just hang here for a bit...."
Siete
Siete squeezes Worm's shoulder as he fumbles for his phone, "Do not let him stay."
Cowboy
Cowboy can hear Siete from here. He shoots him a smile to show he's friendly.
He wishes he could rip Siete vocal cords out.
WormWood
"Holy fuck, I'm so sorry dude, I turned my phone off earlier and haven't checked on it since." He runs his hand through his hair, exhaling. "You uh, you scared the shit outta us."
Siete
Siete lowers his voice, but not enough so Cowboy can't hear, "What're you, gonna let a fuckin' pig stalk you around your own fuckin' apartment? He won't agree to this. Tell 'im, Worm, you won't agree to this!"
WormWood
"Dude."
WormWood
"It's chill man, I just missed his call. He's like, fine." Bean gestures towards Cowboy.
Cowboy is so tired of people thinking he was a cop. With Cargo it was "Their joke" so it was fine, but with everyone else, he just wanted to see them dead. Their faces shoved into the dirt.
Cowboy
"Yeah don't worry I ain't here to cause any problems. By the way not a cop."
WormWood
"See?"
Siete
"..........." The snail shrinks even further behind Wormwood, furrowing his brows as he scrutinizes the large bird.
[Dual Destinies OST: 1-22 Bobby Fulbright]
Cowboy
Cowboy holds out a wing for the two. "Yet again, sorry for scaring you folks, let's start over. I'm Cowboy. Just a local friendly eagle."
WormWood
"Is it just the night man? Again sorry about the mess, we're uh. Kinda jumpy I guess." Bean isn't particularly sure how to shake hands with a bird. He reciprocates, awkwardly grabbing the end of one of his fingers.
Siete
Siete continues to glower from across the room.
"Is it just the night?" All the things he has done for this person and he can ONLY offer the fucking night?
Cowboy
"Don't worry it's just the night. I'll be out of your hair in the morning."
Cowboy
"What are you folks up to here anyway? Anyway I can help?"
WormWood
"Cool! I'll fix a space for y'man."
WormWood
"Annddd uuhh..." He takes a glance at the toy on the floor, rubbing the back of his neck. "It's a nice offer but uh, y'got a thing against dolls? Because that's the bulk of it."
Cowboy
"Oh, if it's all dolls I wouldn't be able to help. I know Cargo gets your orders sometimes......."
Cowboy
Cowboy remembers he can't let out that him and Cargo are married. "When I'm visiting her, and she tells me I can't get a look inside."
WormWood
"My bad, man. We can pick up the pace on the side hustle, I'd hate to make you uncomfortable."
Siete
"You." He finally finds the bravery to slide out from behind Worm, "...How do you know who Cargo is?"
Cowboy
"Oooooooh? Well I'm everyone's friend!"
Cowboy
"Online anyway! So I like to visit my friends time to time. Cargo is one of them. She uhhhhhhhhh......"
Cowboy
Cowboy shrugs. "She just likes me I guess? No idea why. I remember she hated birds."
Cowboy
"But considering I'm everyone's friend, that's no surprise!"
WormWood
"Hard to figure out snails sometimes." He gives Siete a little nudge with his elbow. "Lighten up, won'tcha?"
Siete
"Yeah. She does hate birds." Siete grumbles, grabbing the crate of plushies from the coffee table, maneuvering around Worm back towards the kitchen.
Siete
Sigh. "Sorry that I... blew up at you... 'r whatever. I've had bad run-ins with feds before."
Cowboy
"I'm not a cop."
Cowboy
"Why are you folks doing this anyway? It's kind of nasty work......I thought Wormwood was getting paid well at his job. Everyone on Screaming Hill gets paid really good don't they?"
Siete
His face twists up in a nervous grin, "Huh huh. He thinks you get paid, man."
WormWood
"Aw man don't say it like that, I get paid. Just uh, this is just.. a lil' extra to get by, yknow. This is a pretty big hot spot for these guys, and well..." He says as he carefully places another doll away, out of cowboy's line of sight.
WormWood
"You make due with the cards you're dealt."
Cowboy
"You sure do ship a lot of supplies to Cargo for just looking for a "little extra." You really outta be making a lot more money then you are right now."
Cowboy knew Wormwood's troubles. He hated that he was pretending to be fine.

"You're in an important position, and you're forced to spend your days off making extra money? Wormwood, you're honestly the only thing keeping the singularity on the island back!"
WormWood
He shrugs. "I'm puttin' in as much of my time as I got to give. My boss, my older bro, he gets it but a lot of that fundin' goes into y'know... everything else. Repairs, merch, food, etc. etc."
If Wormwood's brother was dead, things would be better.

It's not the first time he's heard that. "Well....."
Cowboy
"No one should be put in a position where they're holding up everything. Weight on your shoulders like that...gets real tiring. I know you're scared, but you really gotta tell someone you can't be doing that no more."
WormWood
He's heard it a million times. "Yeah. I know man. I just.. don't know what happens after I leave, y'know? What happens to the island, the singularity."
WormWood
"How do I live with myself know that if I go, I'm letting... a lot of people down. People die if no one's there to hold it all back."
Cowboy
"People are going to die if you keep doing what you're doing. Your family might have put you into this situation, but that doesn't mean anything if you're the only pillar around."
Cowboy
"If you die tomorrow, what's going to happen? That's right, this whole island is going to go into meltdown."
And it's going to be YOUR fault for letting it happen.
Cowboy
"And......like, you've known this was a danger for a long time. I ain't going to blame you, but there is like a moment where someone knows something is wrong for so long, that if they don't tell no one else that they kind of become apart of the issue, you know?"
Cowboy
"I know you didn't ask to be put into this situation, but you're not pushing back either, man."
WormWood
Cowboy's got a point. He nearly died, not once but twice yesterday. It feels like the walls are finally to starting to close in on him. "It doesn't get easier. I have no idea where I'd go after this."
WormWood
"...I dunno man." He clicks the lid on a plastic box. "It sounds nice. Doing it's another thing."
Why do people refuse to get out of the pit of despair? You keep screaming at them to leave and they stand curled up, unwilling. He just WANTS to be unhappy because it's ALL he knows.
Cowboy
"Hmmmmmmm........"
Cowboy
"Well, if you ain't willing to fight for yourself, then I will!"
Cowboy
"I heard your brother is a real big guy, so I get it if you're scared."
WormWood
"H'whuh?"
Cowboy
"But I happen to be a really big man myself!"
Cowboy
"Your bro is going to think twice before denying this Cowboy!"
WormWood
"I mean- Big ain't really the issue here but, uh. What?"
WormWood
"....Like... you mean it?"
Cowboy
"Well, is there an issue? You want to get out of this right?"
He doesn't. He wants to wallow in shit forever.
Cowboy
"Cause I mean it. 100% I can't see a good friend keep being hurt like this. Plus, I want to do right by this island."
Cowboy
"I know a thing or two about mismanagement putting all the weight on one guy. I don't want to keep seeing that happen. A job like this should be handled by a bunch of people!"
Cowboy
"I get why you don't want to leave. You feel like it'll all fall apart without you......"
Cowboy
"But you deserve to fly like the rest of us, yeah?"
Siete
"...Big bird's got a point, man. If your job's so important, maybe your brother can at least make sure you're not working on your day off..." Siete mumbles, "And that, yanno, i'm not working on your day off, too..."
Cowboy wishes Siete would just shut up. He hasn't tried to do anything either. He's dragging down Wormwood as well.
WormWood
This is a good thing. This SHOULD be a good thing. Bean's heart races though, his brain screams reason after reason to turn down his offer. "Y-you know.. how it is, huh.."
WormWood
"Oh fuck. He's been tryin' to find other people for ages. The kids are going to..." He bites his lip. Bean felt incredibly small looking up at Cowboy.
WormWood
"...Are we sure this is a good idea? What if somethin' goes wrong?"
Cowboy
Cowboy hugs WormWood. "It's going to be ok man."
Cowboy
"None of that is your problem."
WormWood
Oh. Worm freezes for a moment. He struggles not to cry again, head against Cowboy.
WormWood
"I'll uhm... we'll give it a go..." His mind screamed at him, again. And Again.
WormWood
"I'm feeling unprepared as fuck."
WormWood
"Like I'm going to be sick. Maybe you should let go."
Of course this fat bastard starts struggling when someone is trying to help him. No wonder everyone just abandons him. He deserves to be left behind.
Cowboy
"Nuh uh! I ain't letting you go!"
Cowboy
"Unless you mean stop hugging you, in which case, woops! I'll do that right now! I bet you can't breath down there!"
Cowboy
"Look, first thing in the morning I'll head down to your brother's office with you. You just stand behind me. I'll do all the talking."
Cowboy
"We'll either get you a raise or a lot less work. I ain't going to leave until you ain't struggling anymore."
WormWood
"Y-you're good, I'm good!" He gives a weary thumbs up.
WormWood
"Thanks man. You're insanely patient, especially with a hard head like me."
WormWood
"I'll try my best. It's all that I can do."
Siete
Siete eyes the eagle with suspicion as he squeezes his roommate, "...Hey. Make sure to ask about therapy, as a perk of the job or something. It helps."
Siete
"Can't just marry a bird to get the free version. I mean, not unless Cowboy here's free."
WormWood
"Duuuuddee...!!"
Cowboy
"Oh no! Can't do that. I'm happily married!"
Cowboy
"......................How do you know about that anyway?"
Siete
"About what- OH. Bird therapy?"
Siete
"My sister told me 'bout it once. Just like, get married to a bird and it comes with a fuckton of government benefits. Mental health care's on the house."
Siete
"That's what I did, anyway!"
WormWood
"How come you're only tellin' me this now."
Siete
"You literally never asked??"
WormWood
"You don't even go to therapy."
Siete
"For your information, I went to therapy. I'm, like, super awesome now."
WormWood
"........"
Cowboy
"Would that sister happen to be Cargo?"
Siete
"Also, fucking- yes, it's Cargo! Why do you keep bringing up Cargo?"
Cowboy
"I just know her more than your other siblings is all!"
Cowboy
"She uh, gets into more trouble?"
Cowboy
"I know a lot of people. Ask me a question about any of your siblings and I'm sure I can tell you something you didn't know about them."
Siete
"..............."
Siete
"Huh. Sure, yeah, I'll bite. Help us settle something we've been rumbling over earlier. Why'd my oldest sister marry such a fucking dork? Last time I saw her she was on top of the world."
WormWood
"Makes y'sound jealous Sev."
Cowboy
"If I wasn't married I'd be jealous too. Fellas don't know how good thing are until they're married!"
Siete
"I am CONCERNED for her."
Siete
"So you'll forgive me for worrying about the coolest fucking person on the planet falling off."
Cowboy
"Well if you're interested in knowing I actually was told by Uno herself why she married him......"
Cowboy
"She said......................................"
Cowboy
"It's because he was the first one to ask ever!"
Cowboy
"So she was like "Yeah sure." and that's that!"
Siete
"Really? That's it?"
Cowboy
"I mean it sounds weird but I can kind of understand it, sometimes you're like "Yeah sure" about getting married."
WormWood
"Huh. I didn't think it was that easy. Don't most people like, buy a ring or somethin' about it?"
Siete
"You know what, yeah, that sounds like her. Damn, she's so dope. Even being tied down ain't nothing to her..."
Cowboy
"I think she already gave birth to his child by that time so it just makes sense....."
Cowboy
"Oh this reminds me, can you believe he didn't even know she was having his kid until she came back with it? Like crazy!"
Cowboy
"I get marrying someone on a whim.....but living with someone for months and not knowing they're pregnant......that's crazy!"
Cowboy
"But then again, snails don't look different when they're carrying so I guess it was like "Well no one asked.""
Siete
"Yeah, that's... pretty... crazy..." Siete shrinks. Forget he even asked. "...I still don't like how much you know about my family."
WormWood
"Cowboy gets around."
WormWood
"It's admirable."
Cowboy
"I know everyone! Universal friend is what folks call me!"
Siete
"Guess we'll be putting that to the test tonight."
Cowboy wishes he could kill Siete in the middle of the night.
Siete
"Worm, y'think our universal friend wants to take the couch or your room tonight? Don't even think about my room with the kid here."
Cowboy
"Oh don't you worry. I'll be sleeping uuuuuh...." Cowboy hops to a corner of the living room. "Right here!"
Cowboy
"I typically sleep standing up when I'm on the move. My hands double as a blanket."
WormWood
"If that's comfortable for y'man! If you need anything just lemme know. We're outta milk but there's other stuff in the fridge, feel free to take whatever."
Siete
"You are NOT free to take whatever, you keep those big mitts off my leftovers."
Siete
".....Otherwise there are snacks in the pantry. Cups to the right of the sink. Help yourself."
WormWood
"Don't mind em'." He gestures towards Siete. "I'll like, order a pizza or somethin' tonight."
Cowboy
"Oh this reminds me! WormWood I got you some ambrosia from Neptune." Cowboy uses his feet to pull out two of the pyrimids out. He holds them for WormWood.

"Don't be scared, my feet are as clean as any other hand! Also there's a thin anti microbial layer on the ambrosia or something!"
WormWood
He shrugs it off. "Aw man, thanks a ton."
WormWood
"I haven't had one of these since I was a kiddo. My old owner loved givin' us this stuff."
Cowboy
"Hey."
Cowboy
"It's nice to see you smile for once."
WormWood
"I try!"
Cowboy
"I'll leave you folks alone. Just act like I'm just a really fancy coat hanger, ok?"
Siete
This is bullshit. He's never had ambrosia before. "Yeah, uh, sure. Enjoy your corner, dude."
WormWood
"...Yo. Stop poutin'." He gives Siete a nudge, pointing to his ambrosia. "Split this one with me."
WormWood
"We can give your Jr. a piece too, if you want."
Siete
"...Hmph." He scrutinizes the small pyramid, finally cracking a smile.
Siete
"You know what, can't hurt. Give me a lil' bite first and you can give the rest of my piece to the kiddo."
WormWood
"That's more like it."

Siete pops the tip of the pyramid in his mouth as he makes his way over to the kitchen countertop, about to place the rest of the candy in the bowl.
The world reached a crawl as Cowboy watched Siete go to the bowl.
Cowboy
Before Siete could take another breath, long claws tore off his arm, pushed him to the ground and held him there.

He swipes his arm up off the ground, waving it around at Cowboy, accusingly, "Couldn't it have killed you to just, give me a 'hold up, pardner' or whatever!?"

Siete
"My kid's life is worth more than the rest of me." He shoves his arm back into its socket. "Just... give me the money and i'll go pick up the damn milk."

"I need a little less excitement for a while. See you inna bit." ... ...
WormWood
He sees Siete off, mindlessly fiddling with his phone in hand. Worm had not forgotten what had gone down today. It seems as though everything was moving as breakneck pace. In the moment, he was fine. However, the ghost of dread hung over him from the far corner of the room.
WormWood
Hopefully, tomorrow would be a better day.
A better day was not coming to Siete.
[Vacant - Look Outside Music]
Creature Comfort
Wormwood's neighbor stood over the crumbled up body in the street. It touches the blood and shudders in delight. When it spots Siete it cheers.
Creature Comfort
"He flew! He really flew! I knew it would come true!"
Creature Comfort
"He flew so free through the sky. I wish you could have seen it happen. Only 4 minutes ago, no, 5 now!"
Siete
"Oh, shit." That's a dead body.
Siete
Siete's seen this fucking thing creeping around the apartments every so often. Usually holding up Worm on his way to work. He steps back a pace. "L-look, man, I uh- I don't think people without wings were meant to fly..."
Creature Comfort
"Then what do you call this then, neeeeeighbor?"
Siete
"A MURDER, you alien freak! You fucking killed them! Can you even wrap your mind around that?!"
Creature Comfort
"Murder?"
Creature Comfort
"Oh ahahahahaha! That's one of those "Death" things that you humans are so obsessed with! Silly neighboooor! Death does not exist to anyone else in the universe!"
Creature Comfort
"When he jumped from the roof I sensed it, his soooooul! His soul kept pulling his body upwards, until he realized it was of no use. His body was dragging him down this whole time."
Creature Comfort
"I watched him let it go, and fly! He flew free, away from this terrible place!" The alien rises up and opens its own, mangled and deformed wings. "It was just as I told him. Everyone would mourn, but he would be free to fly wherever his soul wishes now!"
Creature Comfort
It draws closer to Siete. "Hmmmm I don't think you're quiet the flying type. I sense heavy chains around your soul. Too attached to the singularity that controls us all."
Creature Comfort
"I apologize, I don't think I could help YOU fly, but if you bring your friend I can help him. Just the other day we made it all the way to the rooftop but something held him back."
Siete
Siete's eyes go wide in disbelief. He couldn't believe what he was hearing. "Oh. Oh, absolutely fucking not." He takes a single step forward.
Siete
"Keep you ugly fucking fingers off of him! If you freaks don't believe in death, then-" In a single motion, Siete brings the heel of his shoe down onto the creature's head with a wet stamp, crushing it like a grape.

A foul gas erupts out of the alien. For a moment the world turns dark for Siete.

As he looks up the sky is blotted out with the fleshy butterflies. From under his shoe the neighbor Siete just killed springs up. Its once mangled wings unfold into something beautiful and it leaves its body behind, joining the swarm overhead.

Siete fights his brain. The gas expelled by this alien was used to induce nightmares. He backs away, returning to reality when he notices the body of the killed alien moving slightly.

Many grub-like babies pour out of the trampled body of their parent, seeking anything to cling to.
Siete
"Erk-" Shit, almost forgot. He pulls the collar of his hoodie up over his nose, squinting through the gas at the wriggling mass on the pavement. This isn't his first time killing one of these things, but he's never dealt with one so old.
Siete
They are, allegedly, just as intelligent as any human being. The thought stuck to the back of his mind for every grub packed, or every pupa gutted. It's much harder to ignore this when they know how to talk back. Siete scoops some of the sticky grubs into his palm.
Siete
It deserved to die, he thought, but that didn't make it any easier. He pockets the wriggling larvae. "Guess it's my lucky day."
The grubs wiggled happily in Siete's pockets believing they had been given a new home.

"Look man, all I know is that there were a lot of He and Hims ok? I think that's your brother now."
Memetical_Cargo
"NO OFFENSE BUT HOW MANY TIMES IS THAT GOING TO HAPPEN TO ME THIS WEEK. BY THE WAY DON'T TELL ANYONE I SAID THIS I'M NOT GETTING FUCKING CANCELLED. I DON'T MIND IT'S JUST FUCKING ABSURD THIS HAPPENED TWICE THIS WEEK."
Cowboy
"Yeah don't worry, I get you, I won't tell anyone."
Memetical_Cargo
"Why the FUCK is my s- brother doing here anyway???"
Memetical_Cargo
"He got really pissed at me...and yelled at me....and disappeared forever......He apparently got sold to be a pet or something."
Cowboy
"Cargo I'm starting to see a pattern."

"Look I don't know why people get traumatized by me, disappear for years, and then come back as men. Maybe after dealing with me they realize life is too short to keep lying to themselves."

"Uh does the baby have enough water? Just in case just like, give it more water."
Cowboy
"Like...."
Cowboy
"Do I just pour the water into the bowl.....would that like, drown the baby?"
Memetical_Cargo
"HOW MUCH WATER ARE YOU GOING TO POUR INTO THAT BOWL?????"
Cowboy
"Ok, just a tiny bit of water I guess?"
Memetical_Cargo
"How old is it?"
Cowboy
"Cargo...........it is a pile of slime in a bowl. I don't know."
Memetical_Cargo
"You can't tell by its size?"
Cowboy
"I have never seen a baby stored inside of bowl before ok. I didn't even know you just...put them into bowls."
Memetical_Cargo
"WELL WHERE ELSE WOULD YOU PUT YOUR SLIME CHILD. YOU LIKE, PUT THEM INTO A CONTAINER, PLAY WITH THEM, FEED THEM, THEN YOU CLOSE THE CONTAINER AND STORE THEM IN A CABINET FOR 12 MORE HOURS."
Cowboy
"You keep them in a cabinet for 12 hours!?!?!!?"
Memetical_Cargo
"HOW ELSE ARE YOU GOING TO STOP THEM FROM DRYING OUT AND DYING."
Memetical_Cargo
"Or do you think it's WEIRD that I sleep for 8 hours in a box?"
Cowboy
"It's a little weird."
Memetical_Cargo
"DON'T FUCKING TELL ME "IT'S A LITTLE WEIRD" MR "I JUST SLEEP STANDING UP MAKING PEOPLE THINK I'M ACTUALLY AWAKE AND READY TO KILL." YOU HAVE NO RIGHT TO JUDGE."
Memetical_Cargo
"WHY DO YOU EVEN HAVE A BED IN YOUR ROOM IF YOU DON'T USE IT!?!"
Cowboy
"I mean."
Cowboy
"I do use it. For special occasions."
Memetical_Cargo
"You....................only keep a bed in your room..................for............................"
Cowboy
"Yep!"
Memetical_Cargo
"....................................................................."

"When my brother comes back can you ask him to consider contacting me?"
Memetical_Cargo
"Actually, what am I saying? I don't think he ever wants to talk to me again!"
Cowboy
"He seems nice enough! I'm sure he wouldn't mind, but I won't tell him unless you want me to."
Memetical_Cargo
"Yeah just...skip it. He hasn't seen me in like 10 years, and now he has a kid. With the way we ended off, I don't think I deserve to see him again."
Cowboy
"If you say so.....by the way, are you feeling ok after what happened during the debate yesterday?"

"I thought Wirepuller was the most sensible candidate......"
Memetical_Cargo
"Only for....it to be some terrible infectious medical blood device!!!! UGH I.....The only good thing that came out of that is there's no way Az is winning the fucking vote after killing someone live on TV!"
Memetical_Cargo
"I don't think Boe is going to win the final vote, but at this point, as long as Az doesn't win I'm good so I think I can relax now."
Cowboy
"That's the spirit! Everything is-"
Memetical_Cargo
"DON'T FUCKING DOOM US."
Cowboy
"Right, right. Bad luck."
Cowboy
"Anyway I hope you have a wonderful rest of the day. I'm going to babysit this little guy until your brother comes back."
Cowboy
"And I just want you to know, I know you hurt a lot of people in the past, but I genuinely think if you wanted to talk to your brother he'd be willing to if you make the first move."
Memetical_Cargo
".........................................."
Memetical_Cargo
"I don't think I should. Not yet. Maybe not ever."
"I'm happy enough just knowing I didn't ruin his life. So I don't want to ruin it now."
