March-Greenie

Kitandine, in a very rare moment of panic, upon realizing his sudden evolution, is pacing just outside Onyxia on his own. It was unsightly for him to be covered in cold sweat, rainbow streaks flowing off his skin as he tried to figure out how to control these new wings. They had responded to him subconsciously during the match, however, now that he actually knew they were there and wanted to control them it was as if he were an uncoordinated fledgling. It was lucky that he had not embarrassed himself in front of Terrim (or the crowd) so he was out here, alone, trying to figure out how to control the darn things.

He practically jumped out of his skin when he looked up after crashing into the ground for the umpteenth time to see a green snake like blob looking at him, eyes hidden behind familiar dark shades. For a moment Kit debating killing the other blobling or himself out of embarrassment before something clicked in his mind. He had received a very strange letter that had suddenly appeared to him while he was out in the desert training. Those sunglasses were familiar because he had seen a perfect rendition of them in the letter. He stared at Greenie with a gaping mouth of confusion.

Even when Kit got over his initial surprise and had attempted to splutter out excuses as to why he was covered in mud, own sunglasses askew at their place above his horns, Greenie had simply nodded non judgmentally, and flashed a cool guy smile behind their sunglasses. In a very bizarre turn of events Kit had found his panicked excuses slowly turn into a rant about the difficulties of mastering his new wings, venting the frustrations that had built up all while Greenie nodded wisely and smiled. The whole time Greenie just gave off the epitome of cool, simply nodding as Kit continue to vent and finally began to calm down. It was nice to unload all his frustrations for once and Greenie had been a great listener. They had simply sat on their little perch when Kit decided to try again, keeping him company as Kit's face met the floor again and again when his wings just wouldn't listen to him.

Eventually Kit did get the hang of them, the slime wings actually feeling more like a part of him rather than weird attachments to his body. Greenie had simply grinned and nodded a bit more proudly when Kit had beamed at him, triumphant at finally being able to briefly hover. Kitandine pulled his own shades down, which he had initially felt obscured his vision and had placed them on his forehead. He could see how great sunglasses were if Greenie was so cool cause of their shades. Kitandine thanked Greenie and the two of them tilted their shades respectfully at each other and parted ways.

March-Librarian

Giggity appears and disappears at the library, attempting to find their new master's book. It was how they had found her, as Giggity had been quietly pranking bloblings at the library one afternoon while avoiding the librarian's wrath.

They had taken a liking to Velvet and like a helpful gremlin had begun assisting Velvet with writing more books. Their master didn't seem to mind Giggity's strangeness so Giggity would often make trips to the papyrill forest, gathering paper and quills and scribing. When not playing a scribe, Giggity did little odd household chores. They were a dedicated gremlin after all.

Today, however, Giggity gave an uncharacteristically frustrated giggle. They could not find their master's book! They knew their master had written one before Giggity had found her in the library. Giggity wanted to read it!! They floated around, increasingly upset at being unable to find it, slowly organizing the library's current contents in attempt to find it if it was misplaced. Giggity cleaned and dusted the shelves, quietly sorting through books. Some of them, especially the best sellers would have multiple copies. What a great idea!

Suddenly a shadow loomed over Giggity as they nearly finished their little cleaning spree. The librarian handed Giggity their master's book! Giggity let out an elated giggle, following the librarian back to their desk and pulling out some of the extra papyrill paper and pens and began to work on making a copy. Giggity sat to the side of the librarian, happily making multiple copies of their masters book. The librarian looked on approvingly and handed Giggity another book when they finished.

Giggity looked up at her in confusion. This wasn't master's book! What was happening? They slowly floated upwards and met the librarian's eyes, tilting their whole body and let out a confused giggle. The librarian gave them a cold glare that send chills down their tiny body and so Giggity sat their ass right back down and started copying the other book. The librarian gave Giggity a few more books to copy and once she was satisfied shooed Giggity out of the library.

April-Terrim

Kit couldn’t help but walk up and casually sling his arm across Terrim’s shoulders, ready to flirt, upon finding them looking at their reflection. He was about to crack a pickup line if it weren’t for the way Terrim stiffened and looked like Kit had decided to slap them and throw them deep in the swamp mud outside the city. Kitandine immediately began back-tracking, suddenly feeling a bit of panic at Terrim’s response. He let go of Terrim and held his arms up in a motion of surrender as Terrim looked back at him, the two of them entering a kind of uneasy stare-off. Great job, Kit, his mind offered sarcastically, This is the first time you’ve even tried to talked to them and you’ve already done something wrong.

After a bit of an awkward pause, Kit slowly lowered his hands, keeping his eyes locked onto Terrim. “Shit, sorry…You alright, Terrim?” Terrim, for what it was worth, didn’t immediately leave or attempt to throw him across the Arena. Kitandine couldn’t help but wait tensely for an answer but did not receive one. Instead Terrim sighed, their shoulders slumping slightly. For the first time, for once not drowned out by the roar of the crowds, Kitandine could properly hear Terrim’s voice. It was nice, pleasant to hear in a different way from Kip’s rougher voice (which was also nice), Kitandine decided.

“What do you want? Another fight?” Terrim simply looked a little bit exasperated and still…troubled.

In fairness, they were both in the arena, so of course Kitandine had come in today hoping to spar with Terrim. However, he felt like he had at least some sense of tact. His rival clearly wasn’t feeling it, and the scar which Kitandine had never tried to pry about out of respect was clearly not one Terrim was proud of. That made the scar look all the more painful. So Kit couldn’t help but frown slightly in response. Could he ask? Probably not considering beyond the spars they’ve had, he knew next to nothing about Terrim.

He raised his hands up again in mock surrender, trying to placate Terrim, “Hey now, not everything’s gotta be about fighting right?” Terrim’s look of disbelief spoke volumes “Ok, ok. Not ALL the time, you get me? Was gonna ask if you want a bite to eat or just hang out…” Kitandine couldn’t help the blush that crept up his face as he continued to speak. Dang it he was cool, he swore. “I mean if you want to. If you don’t want to we could spar or something.” Where was his confidence when he had spoke with Kip? Why was this so hard??

Luckily, Terrim spared him from further embarrassment, “Food?”

“Yeah, anything you like in particular? I’ve got a bunch of poffdula shells, they’ve got lots of flavors! Otherwise I can go look for other stuff! Lots of tasty stuff around here.”

Kitandine couldn’t help but brighten up a little. After all, that wasn’t rejection! Terrim continued to look somewhat hesitant, almost somewhat shy. That’s adorable, Kit thought while waiting for their response.

“I actually haven’t had any food yet.”

Say.
What.

Kitandine just stared at Terrim blankly for a moment as the other blobling just looked even more sheepish. Well. It was settled. Kitandine led Terrim out of the arena and out of the city. He had made his own training grounds a bit further in the swamps. He hadn’t meant to show it to anybody as Kit preferred for no living soul to know just how much effort he actually spent to get stronger. Kit wanted the world to think it was effortless after all…but food emergencies were food emergencies. He continued to keep up his conversation with Terrim, which had taken a more natural and easy tone, trying to determine what flavors and foods Terrim might like.

They finally reached their destination and Kitandine made some half-hearted excuse about how it was just a food hoard and clearly not a training field. He approached the giant pile of poffdula shells, picking out each color and cracking the shells open, handing each of the various flavors to Terrim. It was nice, sitting under the pile of poffdula shells, laughing together as they tasted various poffdulas and testing weird combinations. Terrim gave him a horribly spicy, sour, and bitter combination and Kit returned the favor by combining every single flavor into one pod. It was different from the energy of the arena, tucked away from hundreds of eyes watching them fight. Kit couldn't help but feel a bit closer to Terrim after not only showing his training field (one no other blob had ever laid eyes on) but also seeing Terrim relaxed for once. The other blobling looked a bit more open, as if they were having fun.

Kit promised Terrim he’d bring more food they could try out together in the future and that they were welcome here anytime. He was gonna make sure Terrim got to taste everything in Terrea that they wanted to taste!

April Writing Prompt-Kit tries Cyril Stars (Still involves Terrim though and is basically a continuation of that)

Kit had been trying out various foods around Terrea since his promise to Terrim. Or more accurately he had been just taking bites out of anything he could get his hands on. Galanthia were sweet, glow grapes were sour, axolabebs were annoying to catch but either tasted like something sour and gummy or like a lemony-chicken type flavor. He'd brought all of them to Terrim and they'd sometimes share a bite when the two of them weren't sparring in the arena. Kit had to admit, he enjoyed competing, but Terrim was there all the time and as the arena's strongest near permanent resident, Terrim was significantly more busy fighting everybody than Kit was. So he'd found himself, more often than not, leaning on the arena's sidelines waiting for Terrim to finish a match before presenting them with whatever new food he had found. He'd even taken some effort to make the food look prettier as well recently, essentially handing Terrim little bento boxes of their favorite foods so far.

Today, he had stumbled across some of the new flora that had popped up around Terrea. Terrim had specifically requested to try one of these this time and Kit was determined. On the other hand, he heard that cyril stars came in three varieties, with various effects. Yes, Kitandine had finally started to pay attention to others, often eavesdropping on conversations as he walked down the streets of Onyxia, and he had heard rumors about the strange effects of cyril star orbs. They'd even mention that temperature might be the solution, so Kit had brought a basket and three aurasil-woven cloths he managed to sweet talk off of an Onyxia resident to carry the cyril stars to the Climate Caves as that was the only area he knew of so far where he could get both hot and cold.

They tasted sweet, but burnt slightly as it went down. The taste itself was strangely familiar, not entirely pleasant, but familiar. After eating it, Kit felt surprisingly light. As if all of his senses had been dulled slightly, but somehow the colors of everything around him looked brighter and sharper. That was a strange feeling and not something he really liked. Taste wasn't horrible, though, and Terrim had actually specifically requested to try these this time. Kit popped another two in his mouth and the feeling intensified. However, he tried a few more and other feelings overtook him, providing a bizarre, dizzying experience. He was warm, happy, heavy, but light and oh-

Kit barely had enough control over himself to whip his head away from the patch of cyril stars and just vomit ALL of it out. Gods that was disgusting. Kit gagged a few more times before wrinkling his nose in disgust. He glared at the offending puddle of blood-vomit for a moment before burying the mess. No one must know.

Well, that event was unfortunate, but back to the task at hand. He had heard rumors that to differentiate between the cyril stars was temperature and to make sure Terrim's first experience wasn't as shitty as his, he'd go through the effort of figuring it out. He gathered as many of the orbs as he could into the basket and began heading towards the Mossy Mountains. When he arrived he was pleased to find out that indeed, dumping the cyril orbs into the cold and hot pools caused some to go frosty and opaque, some to turn faintly pink, and some to not change at all. After a little more testing (also more vomiting, getting disgusted, and burying said vomit) Kit was satisfied that he'd figured out the difference and wrapped the three types of cyril stars into different cloth packages. If he had anything to say, he preferred the one that turned frosty and opaque as it reminded him of something, probably from the Old World, that he enjoyed.

Kit brought the three types to Terrim for them to decide which one they'd rather try as all three had similar taste. He tried to describe what each effect did (blushing a little bit when he tried to explain the pink cyril star). Terrim seemed ok with his description of the frosty opaque cyril star's effects and tried those. In fact, they seemed to rather like the frosty opaque cyril stars. For now Kit refused to give them more, teasing Terrim playfully as they swayed slightly trying to grab another orb from him. As cute as Terrim was like this, Kit had a distinct feeling that someone could take advantage of them in their current state. So he stayed protectively by Terrim's side waiting for the cyril star effect to wear off, instead shoving the lunchbox he had made into their hands watching as Terrim grumbled then begin eating.

April-Librarian

Giggity, well, simply giggles. They knew EXACTLY which ones the Librarian didn't want hung up and they did not agree. They'd make sure their master's painting got hung up. The Librarian clearly was having second thoughts towards letting them assist in the matter, however. Giggity replied by wiggling their little booty carefully, shaking their tadpole tail while stamping their feet on the table to the tune of some unknown song. It was a bizarre little dance, clearly meant to reassure the Librarian, although it may have had the opposite effect.

The Librarian sighed in response, pinching the bridge of her nose before leveling Giggity with one last stern glare before leaving. Giggity giggles one last time before settling down to get to work. They sort through the various paintings and use their inner camera to make sure each painting is hung up, nice and evenly in various locations around the library. There are a lot of paintings and Giggity is very small, so they do have difficulties with some of the larger paintings. By the end, all except their master's painting is hung up and Giggity has already worked up quite the sweat. They had a mission, however. All of their master's works should be on display after all. Giggity nods to themselves in determination.

However, the last time they had hung this painting the Librarian had noticed eventually (it had taken her a hilariously long time) and taken it down. This time they'd simply have to do a better job. They take the painting carefully, floating into a quiet corner of the library, one without many books or foot traffic and hung it up. Here it was out of the way and would take the Librarian even longer to find, they were sure of it. Giggity softly giggled. Even if the Librarian found it again and threw it out, Giggity had another copy at home. They'd make sure this painting was in the library and that it would stay hanging in the library.

To make up for hanging the painting up though, Giggity goes about carefully cleaning and dusting all the shelves of the library. Finally returning back to the front desk as a very sweaty and dusty blobling, they giggle at the Librarian innocently, appreciating the little pat the Librarian gives them. Giggity happily settles down and copies a few more books the Librarian hands them before heading home to their master.

April-Reinala

Ghost can't help but appreciate that Reinala had not flinched at their new form. They had always been somewhat invisible, as others tended to just glance past the previously little blobling. After they had suddenly evolved however, simple ignorance had turned into outright avoidance. They supposed their new form was a bit abnormal in comparison to those of other bloblings and, as much as it hurt to be rejected by bloblings they didn't even know, it wasn't like they had any actual control over what they looked like. At least the godborn did not seem like other bloblings. She had simply given them a mission and so Ghost went off to find papyrill quills and poffdula shells.

Overall the task was pretty easy. They traveled back to Onyxia and gathered as many stacks of sheets and quills as they could carry before stopping by a few of the poffdula trees around the city. Although their arms were full their wings could still hold stuff! Ghost bends their wings slowly, the skeletal joints creaking as they bent terrifyingly in the complete opposite direction making them look even more unnatural than they already did. Ignorant to how terrifying they looked, Ghost continued to pick poffdula shells and place them into their wings. Soon they had a giant pile of the colorful fruit and so they set off, scaring some of the poor residents in Onyxia on their way out.

Travel back to Reinala's city was easy as nothing came out to bother Ghost. It was a bit lonely being, well, alone all the time, but they were almost at Reinala's city. They found the godborn in the exact same place they last saw her and happily placed the piles of poffdula fruit in front of Reinala. They deposited the papyrill sheets and quills neatly in a pile next to the godborn before waving and going on their merry way. If the godborn did not flinch at their appearance then maybe there was some hope that others would not too. It gave Ghost hope.

May - Terrim

Kitandine stares at the vulkined arena with dumbfounded shock. Even as he watched Terrim down an entire slightly charred creation it didn’t explain much of the situation to him. Finally the other blobling noticed him and leveled him with a long look before explaining that he wished to taste more combinations of foods. Kitandine had to hold back a small astonished laugh.

“Well, I was bringing you some axolabeb gummies today. Want to try something with that?”

Terrim was right, however. Kit was hardly a cook, the thought of combining items of foods didn’t really occur to him often and it usually was just him throwing random food items together haphazardly, much like Terrim was doing in the arena. Which speaking of…
Kitandine shook his head fondly at Terrim, “On the other hand, I’m sure we could have had this realization outside of the arena, instead of filling it with vulkins? Other bloblings do fight here besides you, you know?” He couldn’t help but tease the other blobling with a playful smile dancing across his face.

Kitandine approached Terrim and looked over his shoulder at his latest creation. He wasn’t quite sure what it was but he simply settled next to Terrim and listened to his instructions. He helped Terrim prepare a few more combinations in their little vulkin corner of the arena. The axolabeb gummies were quickly put to use and thrown into a combination with lambfruit (Kit was impressed, Terrim had gone out and gotten some rare ingredients).

It was pleasant working along side Terrim and making bizarre dishes. It didn’t always taste great and while Kitandine would make a face and tuck their stranger combinations aside, Terrim would eat everything with gusto even when it wasn’t very palatable. By the end, however, Kitandine was fuller than he ever had been in his life. With a promise to bring more ingredients back he left Terrim to take a nap and sleep off all the food.

May - Greenie

"Hey, what's up buddy!"

Kitandine called out to Greenie in surprise. The green tadpole-like blob-thing was casually perched upon Kitandine's significantly smaller pile of poffdula pods. Kitandine had brought various poffdulas to Terrim recently and hadn't gotten around to rebuilding his little wall of poffdulas. Greenie on the other hand was just as cool as usual-sitting on a purple poffdula, sunglasses glinting in the light.

Kitandine settled near Greenie casually, "Thanks for your help last time! I'm getting a lot better at handling my wings now. Although, I found out they can disintegrate if I'm not super careful in the arena." He made a face at the memory of Kip's claws attempting to shred them. Subconsciously it must have been a defense mechanism to not actually damage the wings, but it had still been unpleasant. Clearly, he'd have to practice to willingly manipulate the slime around so it didn't hurt next time.

Kitandine unloaded all of this on Greenie. He chatted about his second meeting with Kip, it turned into a conversation about how cute Kip was before evolving into a conversation about how all his rivals were cute and how he felt that he and Terrim were getting closer. It was therapeutic speaking to Greenie even if they never replied beyond little nods and the gentle tap of their tail slapping on the poffdula pod. Kitandine was surprisingly open about his ~~crushes~~ rivals, although he had spent significantly more time with Terrim recently. (They don't speak very often, but you can tell Terrim's really kind, ya know?).

Kitandine had been having a pretty good time recently, visiting Terrim and even reuniting with Kip at the arena. Speaking with Greenie was really nice and he couldn't help but fluff up proudly as he bragged about how great his rivals were. By the end Kitandine waved cheerfully as Greenie flashed his sunglasses in farewell and disappeared back into the swamp.

May - B

Ghost blinked down at the crying little blobling. Their travels had brought them back to their birth place, the Smiley Sands. They'd never been to B's city, much less met the famous blobling themselves. They shook their hands frantically at the little orange blobling, desperately trying to calm her down and cheer her up. They'd never been able to speak when they were born anew in this life, a status which had never changed despite their evolution. Ghost's own evolution had taken a very long time and had been extremely sudden. Where most bloblings would sprout a few new limbs or markings during an evo phase, Ghost had exploded from their little blobling form into...whatever they were now.

They could hardly convey this fact to B without speaking, nor did the other blobling seem to utilize Friendzy (the only way Ghost could normally communicate with bloblings). So Ghost resorted to patting B's head comfortingly. They did their best to clean up her tears before with a little pause to make sure B was ok with it, they gently picked her up with one of their arms. Their other set of arms grabbed the planks B was struggling with and they placed it in her hands. Together, B with a little help from Ghost went back to building the house.

It was a bit uncomfortable when the terreden cement got everywhere but Ghost did their best to help. They balanced B carefully on their head, passing stones from Onyxia up to her which she placed upon the higher areas of the wall. Their other set of arms slowly smeared sections of the wall with terreden cement. It was slow and hard work, but Ghost did have to admit it was very rewarding when both of them sat back to admire their finished house. Ghost high-fived B before slowly floating a way, back on their journey without any destination. Although...perhaps they would wander to the Colorwave Coast. They'd like to take a nice bath and make sure there wasn't any terreden cement stuck on them

June - Terrim

Kit peeks his head into the coliseum today, somewhat unsurprised that Terrim is still cooking. The other blob seemed like one to focus on bettering themselves-with a intensity on anything they put their mind to. They'd gotten significantly better at cooking, much better than Kit as beyond his peripheral interest in cooking due to Terrim, the cat like blobling tended to eat food as a habit. Catching the more rarer ingredients had been fun and challenging, though, so he couldn't really complain.

He snuck up behind Terrim before chirping "What's the dish of the day, Terrim?" Kit dodged the surprised flailing in response smoothly, grinning cheekily as Terrim glared at him for scaring them. He held up a little basket of cyril stars-the ones Terrim preferred-as if it were a peace offering.

Kit fell into the same comfortable pattern of helping Terrim with whatever dish they were making today. He'd gotten used to Terrim's quietness and it no longer bothered him. Instead Kit would fill the silence with random observations, little quips and smirks when Terrim glared at him, and complementing on Terrim's improvement. Kitandine may be a gremlin at heart, but he did generally appreciate when a blobling put their effort whole-heartedly into an interest. Terrim had most definitely improved his cooking after all. Kitandine snuck a taste of the batter Terrim was mixing as the other blob whacked him lightly on the paw in response. Overall, it was pleasant being by Terrim's side.

Once the two were done making their dish, Kit brought out the cyril stars. The two bloblings watched the arena matches from their corner. It'd been a while since Kit had sparred with Terrim, but he found that being in the other's presence was as fun as fighting against him. As the post-food sleepytimes kicked in, Kitandine was tempted to curl up next to Terrim and take a nap. He didn't really want to leave today...

August-Terrim

Kitandine stared at Terrim quietly. Ever since meeting and becoming friends with Terrim, he'd started to do that more often. Of course Kitandine still chattered as he enjoyed showing Terrim the joys this world could offer, but he would think before he spoke, often wondering how Terrim would respond to his words and actions. Kitandine had even grown to appreciate the comfortable silences the two of them would fall into.

This was the first time he'd seen Terrim show this kind of emotion, an emotion Kitandine had always been afraid to pry into. Why do you look so sad? How did you get your scar? Why did you jump so badly when I touched you? It was a literal and figurative wound Kitandine was scared to pry into. But now, as he saw the tears form in Terrim's eyes he couldn't help it. Kitandine slowly put his hand on Terrim's shoulder, giving them plenty of time to respond, to say no, or slap his hand away. When the other blob showed no sign of resistance or displeasure, Kitandine carefully pulled them into a hug. He didn't want to make the other blobling feel trapped, so even though he had tucked Terrim under his wing, he kept the weight comforting, slowly rubbing soothing circles into their back.The two of them sat like that for a while in their quiet corner of the arena as the distant sounds of laughter drifted up from the sparring bloblings below.

As the silence stretched on, Kitandine hesitantly rested his head on Terrim's as they watched the arena, trying not to push their limits too much. He finally spoke, tone low and gentle, "I don't think you've been too serious. I think both of you wanted to train other bloblings to become strong. And perhaps you might have not noticed it, but everyone loves watching you fight and train others. I certainly do."

The new blobling, Parabellum was his name, yelled something out to the combatants on the field. He was too far from where they were sitting for either Kitandine or Terrim to hear what he was saying. Kitandine had, of course, heard of the new blobling. After all, an arena fanatic would have to know the newest kid on the block. It might have been because of his friendship with Terrim, but Kitandine hadn't liked how the blobling came out of nowhere, strutting about the arena as if he owned it. Terrim was here first, Kitandine's mind had grumbled. For the gods sake, Terrim even SLEPT here. Parabellum had no right to waltz in like that. Bite him...Kitandine was biased and he'd happily admit it.

Kitandine would eventually approach Parabellum and chat with the other blobling. He would eventually begrudgingly admit Parabellum was a good guy. For now, all that mattered was that Terrim was no longer crying.
