shitposting rave 5: discount rejects from every genre

WRONG. STUPIUD. INCORRECT.

a seadweller grub can easily bite thru inches of solid steel

 

MAYBE I LIKE DON'T ACTUALLY WANT MAMMALS FUSSING WITH A KID THEY DON'T UNDERSTAND?

WOW. I MEAN YES, BUT WOW. IF YOU CAN PULL A JADEBLOOD OUT OF YOUR ASS LIKE BE M GUEST? OTHERWISE I ASSUME THAT SINCE GRUBS ARE A FUCKLOAD MORE MOBILE AND VOCAL THAN MAMMAL BABIES TEND TO BE THAT I'LL LIKELY DO GOOD JUST LIKE BEING AVAILABLE AND KEEPING AN EYE ON HER AND IF SHE WANTS CUDDLES SHE'LL LIKE COME TO ME??? THAT'S HOW IT'S SUPPOSED TO WORK AND SHIT.

BY LIKE FUSSING AT THEM UNTIL THEY HATE YOU PROBABLY.

I DUNNO I DON'T ACTUALLY LIKE WANNA FORCE SOMEONE TO SOCIALIZE ESPECIALLY WHEN THE MOST EFFECTVE WAY SHE HAS FOR SAYING NO IS CHOMPING MY FINGER OFF.

YEAH LIKE KINDA IN LIMITED SUPPLY OVER HERE TRY AGAIN.

 

"You don't know what else I've been bitten by," Ford says quietly. "Unlike one of our matesprits, I still have all my original limbs, but don't think I've never had to have one reattached."

 

its rlly gr8 how ull express willingness to stress out a stupid infant more than necessary just so u can fulfill whatever self-harm quota u have, but it's not good 4 the grub either.

-She's extremely unimpressed.-

 

I'M ON IT WISE FUCKING TEACHER!!! IT'S NOT LIKE I'M GONNA TEACH HER THAT STEPPING ON PEOPLE AND THEN EATING THEIR GANDERBULBS IS AN APPROPRIATE REACTION TO PEOPLE SAYING HI!! KINDA OVER THAT SHIT!

NNNNNOPE! I HAVE LIKE ALL THE SCHOOLFEEDING MODULES I DIDN'T EVEN KNOW SHIT ON GRUB CARETAKING EXISTED HOLY FUCK??? SHARE THE THING! I'VE GOT LIKE A WHOLE CLADE OF NERDS, THEY FEED ON LIKE BOOKS AND STUFF AND I HAVE TO BRING IN FRESH LIBRARY KILLS EVERY SO OFTEN!

 

Valiska sighs. "Nobody's suggesting force, Loreli, in fact, I'm perfectly willing to find you a private room, since I don't think your entire clade, including two baby thylacines whom she could seriously harm, want to sleep with a grub. The only thing that's been suggested so far is that you let Severin and Merrick figure out how to repair that fin and check to make sure she hasn't contracted a dangerous infection by hatching on a strange planet full of bugs her system isn't prepared for, which I know your emotions will rebel against, but I am sure your reason can override them."

 

yeah sure

idk sounds like u've got basically the rite idea tho, just fuss over the grub as a lusus and don't let other ppl near.

-She fiddles with her handheld computer in order to send Loreli some files.-

 

I mean I'm a bona-fide silicon-based alien so like
Don't look at me, I've mentored exactly one (1) bitlet and he wasn't even the species we're talking about here.

'Overstimulate' and 'socialize' aren't the same thing, though? Like, learning boundaries is an important thing, and you can reinforce that by respecting the ones the little nut sets.

 

I'LL LIKE TRY PROBABLY. BUT UHHHHHH THEY LIIIIKELY SHOULDN'T TOUCH HER BECAUSE LIKE I CAN TAKE A COUPLE BITES? BECAUSE I'M ALSO A TITANIUM FISH AND SHIT? SEVERIN ALREADY LOST AN ARM AND SHIT AND MERRICK'S KINDA A SWEETHEART I DON'T WANT TO SCARE HIM FOR LIFE. THEY CAN LIKE TELL ME WHAT TO DO OR SOMETHING IF THEY NEED SAMPLES OR WHATEVER AND IF IT'S JUST THE EARFINS BEING A LIL TORN UP, I'VE HAD SHIT LIKE THAT TOO, HURTS LIKE FUCK BUT Y'KNOW, I KNOW OW TO BAAAAASICALLY FIX IT UNTIL SHE PUPATES WHICH WILL FIX IT ANYWAYS.

THANKS YOU'RE A DARLING~
AND I MEAN LIKE SHE GETS TO PICK HER STRIFE SPECIBUS OUT ONCE SHE'S PUPATED AND SHIT SO RIGHT NOW I'LL JUST FEED HER SO MUCH FUCKING FISH AND MAKE SURE SHE'S GOT SOMEWHERE TO SWIM AND STUFF???

 

yeah sounds good. if she looks sick - note the health info in those files - u can take her to an alien doctor i guess but a lot of the treatments r in there too.

...i dunno if she could get cave-cough if she's not even in the caves tho. huh.

 

[Whisper, not actually being A Literal Bird, can't see them now that they're behind his wings. He'll just be very very careful not to gesture with them until everyone's calmed down; smacking people with your wings is rude, and probably hurts a lot more when the person getting hit is so small and soft!]

 

Valiska smiles. "Sev's got a metal arm, and all he needs is for Merrick or the schoolfeeds to teach him how fins are supposed to look and then he can fix it. Or you can, but as long as she has a hole in her, whether or not pupation will fix it, she's extra vulnerable to local viruses and bacteria. You should probably cook her food and let us scan it for parasites, because you don't want her to have an infection when she pupates. We have no idea what that could do to her wiggler form."

 

[Updraft materializes in the dreamscape beside Whisperwing, seeking out someone he actually knows. Well he also knows Ignis but that's different sorta kinda also Ignis is talking about sparklings and oh Primus does he not need to think about that right now. The worst.] Hello Whispers.

 

a lil bit of dirt n stuff is good for them! it develops the immune system.

 

Valiska smiles. "Yes, that's true of kits as well. But we're on a planet that isn't Alternia, and her immune system has not evolved to deal with our pathogens. A little fairly clean dirt, the occasional flying bug, whatever, I just don't want her getting some of the parasites that could be in raw fish from our oceans."

 

I MEAN LIKE YOU GOTTA KEEP IN MIND WE'RE A P MURDEROUS BUNCH SO LIKE IN GENERAL ONCE THE RAMPANT CANNIBALISM STAGE IS OVER TROLLS DON'T LIKE INTERACT SUPER MUCH WITH EACHOTHER OUTSIDE OF LIKE CLOSE FRIENDS AND SHIT? LIKE WE'RE SOCIAL, BUT WE ALSO FUCK EACHOTHER UP A LOT SO LETTING THE TINY ONE CHOOSE WHEN AND WITH WHOM TO INTERACT IS LIKE A SUPER IMPORTANT FIRST STEP IN MAKING SURE SHE DOESN'T GO ON RAGE FILLED KILLING SPREES THE SECOND I LET HER OUTTA MY SIGHT???

OOO YES THAT'S LIKE SUPER HELPFUL!!! THANKS! AND UH... I MEAN LIKE I ASSUME NOT? BECAUSE THE LIKE GERMS AND DIRT AND SHIT ARE DIFFERENT ON DIFFERENT PLANETS, RIGHT?

... SHIT I DON'T EVEN LIKE KNOW IF GRUBS WILL EAT COOKED STUFF? I ATE RAW FISH PUMPED FULL OF NEUROTOXINS AT HER AGE!

 

[Whisper waves with the hand not currently holding a dataslate, but manages to remember not to greet with his wings as well.] Hi Updraft! c:

 

i guess but like, she's a seadweller, right? naturally good immune system that's p damn adaptive... which is why i'm suggesting being a little less careful so her immune system CAN adapt, when i wouldn't suggest that for a midblood or a lowblood.

whatever tho i'm not a matron.

 

[nope, nope he can't stop it, his processor's running now, he's gotta weight in.] Considering the complicated interactions of organics with their environment I would advise against it. There is a reason that societies of hunter-gather levels lose about 25% of the infants, usually to diseases and starvation, and that would be on a planet they actually developed on.

 

-She blinks.-

r... they?
