Trollstuck, part 37
---------------------------------------------
====>Be the squiddleterror
====>Oh fuck
That seems like a reasonable summation of the state of events. Would you like to do anything about it?
====>How about a deus ex machina?
How about not?
====>Are we still being the squiddleterror?
In lieu of any commands to the contrary, yes, you are still a squamous, eldritch abomination born of the willing union of a transformed squid and a minor denizen of the Furthest Ring, seeking to expand its horizons via a bargain with a most intriguing denizen of spacetime.
What would you like to do?
====>Squiddleterror: Attack Sollux
Alas, you are limited in your comprehension of this strange world of energy and spacetime. Your summoner directed you to protect entity-concepts she identified by the name-concepts "Aradia" and "Davven." The concept "Sollux" is not in your vocabulary.
====>Okay, do you see that light on the horizon?
What is light?
====>Argh
What is argh?
====>Just go save Aradia and Davven!
You undulate painfully through the drag of spacetime and subatomic particles toward one of the entity-concepts you are tasked with guarding. Unfortunately the entity-concept known as Aradia misconstrues your intent and retreats toward the strange locked-energy construct rising from the massive pulsation of locked-energy which your summoner identifies by the name-concept "Alternia."
The entity-concept known as Davven maintains its fixed relationship to the local arrangement of spacetime, allowing you to draw within manipulation range.
What would you like to do?
====>Snap Davven out of Vriska's mind control
What is mind-control?
====>Uh. It's when one entity-concept imposes its will on another entity-concept's consciousness and will without the second entity-concept's consent?
Oh. Yes, now that you know what to look for, you can see traces of a foreign entity-concept's influence tangling the currents that form the self of the entity-concept known as Davven. Removing them would be simple in the Furthest Ring. In this frame of reality, you are less sure of the tools at your disposal.
Nonetheless, this is clearly within your overall mission of protection. You ponder your options and make a first attempt.
====>Be Davven
You are trying to twinkle twinkle little star explain to Aradia that Vriska has how I wonder what you are staged a hostile takeover of Sollux's so-called warship or a satellite think pan and you've gotta blow this orbiting in endless night popsicle stand before he shows up to twinkle twinkle little star blow both of you into the how I wonder what you are next millennium, but she keeps making weird--
--faces like she sing a song of caegars doesn't understand you, which is a pocketful of lies stupid since you're hardly using any metaphors four and twenty flapbeasts at all. You're starting to think baked in a pie you should just grab her hand when the pie was opened blink away and explain the flapbeasts all were dead once you're somewhere the Condesce culled the bakers safer. You also want and made fresh pie with their heads her to give back--
--your computer. You worked how many miles to Sandedge port? hard scavenging zombies and the maps have lost their lines their victims to gather enough can I get there before daylight? fancy shit to barter with the tech outlet yes if you are signed in the nearest desert-edge town if you're cunning and fast in flight in return for actual useful handheld you can get there before daylight technology, and you're not interested--
--holy shit, there's a giant eldritch squidbeast crooning in your ears and papping your face with a gelatinous tentacle. Also, why do you keep thinking in wiggler rhymes?
You can feel another one trying to worm its way into your personal narrative flow, but fuck that, you just weren't paying close enough attention before (or maybe you weren't in the right frame of mind; apparently being cuddled by one of Alonde's pets does wonders for your concentration), and if spiderbitch thinks she can make you into her puppet, she has another think coming.
And also an infestation of fire-crabs in her hive, if you can find a breeding colony and if they survive the climate difference between your place and hers, but that's revenge for another night. Right now you need to get out of here before--
Shitfuckdamn. Time's up.

Look, I never claimed my sense of humor was any good. *wry*

That is probably all the art for this chapter. There is, I admit, one more upcoming scene that I would like to draw, but alas, I am pretty sure my skills are not sufficient to the cause. I may give it a stab just for kicks, but no promises.
