//Lore so people don’t get confused ^^

[Cerus @ThePathCrafter]

@Dandy_Townlings [A beast, aquatic clearly, chained down by debris. It dug into its shell, infected its body, protruding like bug-made mushrooms. That distorted eye of its stared. Pained. Scared. Resentful, even.]

[The debris around it seemed to latch onto its shell like a parasite.]

[Cerus @ThePathCrafter]

@Dandy_Townlings [It gave another groan. A pained, ugly noise that sounded akin to a dying beast accepting its fate. Something moved in the darkness, and as it got closer, it became clearer to see.]

[And what a horrid sight it was]

[City of Tears Bugs @Dandy_Townlings]

Ehm...

Furred One?

Are we... getting close to that Phar-Loom?

I... it's dark... Very dark.
Do i feel fear?

Ha-haa-haa! How exciting!
I haven't felt that in a WHILE...!

[City of Tears Bugs @Dandy_Townlings]

@ThePathCrafter You don't have to tell me twice, Furred one...!!

Hyup!

...

[[ Emilitia grabs the Spiny Husk, putting them on her lap. ]]

Stay. Still.
We don't want to anger... them.

@Dandy_Townlings [Cerus slowly descended into the water, deeper and deeper until light abandoned them. The water ways.]

[The water felt… heavy. Uncomfortable. Stiff. Like old bones forced to keep moving. A bubble encased itself around the two travelling bugs, so they could breathe.]

[Cerus @ThePathCrafter]

@Dandy_Townlings 🐺: “…Good.”

[Her body tensed slightly.]

🐺: “…get on.”

[Cerus @ThePathCrafter]

@Dandy_Townlings 🐺: “…Yes.”

[She shifted so she was face to face with them, as best as she could be.]

🐺: “As long as you… don’t. Drop. Anything. In the. Water.”

[Her frills spasmed, before she lowered her body so they could get on.]

[Cerus @ThePathCrafter]

@Dandy_Townlings 🐺: “It’s fine.”

[She spoke quickly.]

🐺: “…I will… transport you. To… Pharloom.”

[She shifted her form again, the water rippling around her.]

🐺: “…How many are there… of you…?”

[ANTreker🏳️‍🌈 @treker402]

i like to think that ppl find Atla arrogant bc of her face but in fact, she cant see any shit without her glasses so she looks like that.

[Cerus @ThePathCrafter]

@Dandy_Townlings 🐺: “….I am… okay.”

[Her long, serpentine body shifted. It made a horrid sound, like flesh and bone cracking and being tossed around in a particularly rusty, broken mixer.]

🐺: “…What is it you… need?”

[Cerus @ThePathCrafter]

@SeekerOfG0ds [She sighed and sunk into the depths again, this time keeping the other firmly attached to her. A lighter layer of water poured around the bug, keeping them able to breath as she moved within the watery depths.]

“…don’t look into the darkness. Or they’ll see you.”

[Cerus @ThePathCrafter]

@SeekerOfG0ds 🐺: “…Fine. Fine.”

[She lowered her glowing, serpentine body so they could get on. Her frills twitching and puffing in a mixture of emotions that could not be read.]

[🌹Lily🌹 @Lilyishollow]

AHHHHH! HE JUMPING ON ME #hollowknight

[Cerus @ThePathCrafter]

@Lilyishollow HOLY PEAK 🥹🥹🥹🩵🩵🩵🩵🩵

[Cerus @ThePathCrafter]

@SeekerOfG0ds 🐺: “…”

[Wow this one was insane. Oh wait, so was she. Oh well.]

[She nudged them again with her snout, trying to not show off that she was divine. It would be annoying to explain.]

🐺: “Do you need… assistance?”

[Cerus @ThePathCrafter]

@SeekerOfG0ds […Huh. Cerus looked between the device and the waking bug. And decided to help the best way she could.]

[She whacked the tuner against their head.]

🐺: “Hey! Wake up!”

[She spoke through a mouthful of tuner as she kept hitting them with it, as lightly as she could.]

[Cerus @ThePathCrafter]

[The water within suddenly drained. Almost unnaturally so. As quickly as it had appeared, it vanished in the same tempo.]

[The moss trembled with exhaustion, salt embedded into its soil. The active threat of water was gone, but the consequences of the salt water remained.]
