welcome sleepies, to our very first meme saturday! every month a little mod-hosted meme will go up for us to play around with admist the chaos, and this theme was chosen by popular demand! we've all heard about texts from last night, but have you heard of......
MURMURS FROM LAST NIGHT
strange things happen in the night. maybe you drink, or dream, or get high as a kite, and it's hard to hide it! especially when we're all collectively connected in a way! the rules are quite simple! you may even know them by now.
π post a top level for your character and include a few text starters, like the ones provided.
π interact.
π thrive.
π if you wish for your threads to be game canon, the sky is the limit (just make sure your thread partner is okay with it!).
π We might have some special guests later.
Are you familiar with a creature called a centipede? It's what I most resemble.
Instead of skin, I have a hard exoskeleton... which has been so helpful for scavenging, honestly. I no longer have to worry about a scrape getting infected if I never get scraped in the first place.
I also have six arms now, all of them as dexterous as the original two I had. And around forty-two legs, though I haven't counted recently. A couple more seem to crop up every time I molt, haha.
[ He makes some of these things sound as though they're good. While he thinks of himself as repulsive, he'd like to be reassuring, ultimately!
He could go on, get into more personal matters like how it's impacted his diet, but he thinks she'll get the gist, now; no need to overwhelm. ]
Of course, no one's actually saying you'll end up like me. I think I'm just unlucky!
Is there anything I can do to make your life a bit easier? I don't know my way around well yet, but I'm happy to try and find some - food, or a way to pass the time for you.
[It seems only prudent to ask, and extend a bit of compassion for his... circumstances.]
Oh, no, I can't accept food from someone who needs to worry about their own survival.
[ It isn't in his interest to receive without giving, lest he return to the person he was in the past. Feral, unacceptable.
But he senses a similar need to be polite in this person. ]
Let's say a book.
If you happen to find any that still have all of their pages, I'll happily take it for my collection. It's been a bit frustrating reading something only to realize that the entirety of the final chapter fell out who knows how long ago.

And you used to be human?
