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

erskin's situation could go a few different ways

1. he's fine and when bel comes back they make out at great length and enthusiasm
2. he lances his swollen gross leg bits, bandages it up, but is well enough for another few nights (and he and bel mack etc)
3. he's so tired because the rogue biowire's really chewing him up, and even after doing his best to field-treat it he just sleeps all night and when bel comes back they end up having fluffy, sleepy, cuddly make-outs
4. or he doesn't want to wake up enough to make out with bel at all
5. if four, bel either doesn't think anything of him being this tired-out and lets it slide for another night, until lainey is like 'okay what the shit where's erskin',
6. or he does realize it's pretty weird behavior. erskin gets hauled off for surgery sooner rather than later because bel is worn-out and cranky and has no time for erskin's cagey, avoidant bullshit.

 

Hmmm what about cute low-key sleepy makeouts (bel's gonna be tired too), pancho snoozes in the forest biome because wheee space park, and erskin gets caught fussing around w his leg the next night?

 

do you think it would be nice for pancho to enjoy nature-y park biomes without the threat of enemy aliens hiding in the bushes or would she find it disappointingly sterile and twee

 

I bet there's also tons of game animals, too. Glittery jumping bugs, hovering bugs, hissy pincher-bugs, shiny lizards with enticing threat-dances, musical frogs, little aggressive swoop-birds. Hives of rodents that will try to carry off your lunch. And this is alternia, where game animals are.... Animals for games. Tag, keep-away, queen of the hill, maybe more complex games from hive-minds?

I like the idea of trolls breeding terrarium/biome animals to be hardy, and beautiful, and obnoxious, and tasty. Erskin would definitely be ordering out of the Highly Interactive sections of the catalogue!

'Do i want the sparrows that pull hair until you feed them or the crows that beg annoyingly for jewelry haha jk i want both'

 

That sounds adorable! Maybe she pokes her nose in after bel and erskin are tuckered out, sleeps with them, and finds erskin futzing around in the bathroom the next evening?

 

Also if you want to summarize Bel Fixes Everything instead of play it out with twitch along that's cool w me

 

Ok! Im on planes anyway. Hope you feel less crummy soon!

 

ok it's late so: what if Majestic Wolves AU

Pancho as Alpha Mom
Bel as Mr Fusswuffles
Lu as Goofball von Mooseslayer
Galley as a furiously maladjusted Wolfdog Escapee
Erskin as a cheerfully gawky young three-legged Disaster

(Lainey and arguus as ravens)

 

Werewolves au where bel is the newest guy to get the condition and erskin was born w it and everything about erskin appals bel but he is Unfortunately Hot as usual

Like

• He's so mangled
• Is bel gonna look like that oh no
• Why is erskin eating raw beef right out of the grocery store aisle
• Erskin no that is my shower
• ERSKIN NO PEEING IN THE SHOWER YOU'RE GROSS
• erskin could you please wear more clothes
• Erskin cats are for pettings not lunch
• Erskin wearing a doggy collar isnt a flawless spy disguise when your wolf form looks absolutely nothing like a malamute whatsoever
• Why do you think eating food off other people's plates is ok, it's not
• ERSKIN WHY IS THERE A PILE OF DEAD RATS ON THE COUNTER
• Its impressive you chased that guy on his bike all that way but not funny, not even a little bit
• Rawhide chews are for chewing, not crunching up like a potato chip, that is terrifying and should not be hot help
• Erskin stop talking to birds in public oh my god
• Erskin peeing on the side of the house is not appreciated no not even as a protective gesture
• Bel can pee on his own house
• Bel is now peeing on his own house in the middle of the night and wondering how this is his fucking life
• Erskin if you sniff someone's hair have the decency to pretend like that's not what you're doing

 

Yes absolutely this

 

i bet erskin trots into bel's life— obnoxiously— in wolf form and doesn't change into a person for ages and bel is so deeply irritated because people are like 'uh sir is that your enormous helldog' and erskin is like *lays head on knee, wags tail (obnoxiously)*

erskin also probably wears a cartoonish red bandanna around his neck and contrives to look as if his name is 'Champ' and gets along well with kids and bel has to stand there and watch him roll over happily for some toddler to pet his tum-tum as if his fangs aren't as long as most people's fingers (as if bel, just standing there, is not sickly longing to run down the soft little twitchy baby-snack and tear it to bits)
