Boat Trolls planning thread! (full of spoilers, non-players enter at your own risk)

We could probably assign bel'scontinuous enthusiasm for big meals out -- and lots of delivery food-- in scorpius to his growth spurt if you want to backdate it! Going all Stoneface Murdertime for a few rough weeks might have also convinced his body to be like OH NO I CANT WORK WITH ONLY GRANOLA BARS TIME TO PUT IN A REQUISITION FOR XXL CHEESEBURGERS which showed up the minute he unclenched.

 

Also they're probably both thinking Erskin's still a little undersize from his various vampire ordeals. He'll be back in shape pretty darn soon, but is probably due for some indignant theatrics when he realizes the size gap is just going to keep widening.

Im pretty sure those theatrics will involve a lot of sneaking up on bel and then pointedly carrying him around.

 

Ok bel not rigging the route and then watching erskin take a nasty fall, then shake himself off, could be dramatic? And reassuring too.

 

I meant for the little wiggler in the fleece pile to be King Mud, the tiny button-stealing vampire. Would you like to re-write, or is it simpler for you to have it be Hess?

 

I like that idea!

 

ok so with erskin sitting down at the table, this could be a good opportunity for bel to watch him with the info he got from lainey in mind? because now that erskin's bluffing for company, he's gone very expansive, really pushy in a bright, bold, confident way. his body language is probably a lot bigger and more intimidating than usual, too, he puts his elbows on things, he crowds people, he waves his arms around and rearranges other people's stuff. he's very alert and on-edge behind his careless front.

 

hmmm i dunno what to write next. maybe time to plot brainstorm?
-someone at the table flirts inappropriately with bel and/or erskin
-king mud is involves himself in proceedings
-grue shows up, erskin gets very awkward
-grue flirts inappropriately
-????
-more stuff to do with books idk

 

oh dang, was i? i've completely forgotten, if so. did we decide against it for any particular reason?

ETA: imagine how upset bel would be if after several perigees of putting up with erskin's panicky, furious, accusative pregnant freakouts the eggs all come out jade

 

" When you push against him, he resists, and the muscles rise on his shoulders, across his chest, and yours as well, and the two of you are like beautiful idealized soldiers in some ancient fresco, locked in sexually-charged combat forever."

bel i know you are currently having sex with a man but wow that is unbelievably gay
