Summary
Whumptober Day 20 - Fancy Event, Resignation
Astotheles tugged at the collar of his shirt. His shell crawled underneath the bizarre material pressed too close to him by an equally bizarre jacket. He’d never cared for formal attire.
He had certainly never expected to be crammed into a suit in a desperate bid for diplomatic ground.

Summary
In which I - a writer who has never attempted whump, and is actively drowning in college - attempt Whumptober.
This will be mostly Bug Fables, but may pull from Worldless on some prompts. This will also only include prompts for which I do writing. Some will be art and thus posted elsewhere.
Edit: This work contains prompts for days one (beg for forgiveness), three (isolation/found family), seven (elevator/pushed beyond breaking point), and eight (dissociation). After that I decided to start posting them as separate works in a series so the tags weren't a giant confusing soup. Tag distribution is as follows:
- Day 1: Astotheles/Isau, Minor Character Death, Hurt no comfort
- Day 3: Astotheles, Hurt/Comfort
- Day 7: Mothiva, Zasp, General Angst
- Day 8: Kabbu, Implied/Referenced Mind ControlSeries
