Work Text:
As we stood on stage rocky looked up at me confused
Rocky: where are we? Its too bright
Grace: uhh....
A tall chess piece stood in front of me with a short dude with a hole in his head and big white orbs as rocky swore a few times in his home language making the two turn around
???: uh.... Is this an NPC?
Rocky: the hell is an NPC?! I quit.
Grace: not now.
The chess piece spoke : I'm kinger, this is caine, pomni is downstairs, zooble and gangle are...
A tall half black half purple rabbit with a bow in their hair spoke in a half sleazy voice: getting freaky, like always.
A tall doll spoke and shook my hand
??????: im ragatha, it's nice to meet you. The ass hat of a rabbit is Jax. And is this your pet?
She bent down to pet rocky
Rocky: NO TOUCHY!
Ragguhthe stepped back and stared as everyone did the same.
grace: I am so sorry for his behavior. This is my friend, rocky. And I'm ryland grace. Rocky is an eridian I found when I was-
Jax cut me off: shut up no one cares
Rocky took the rabbits arms and pinned them down.
Rocky: no talk to friends like that! BAD BAD BAD BAD NO GOOD BAD!
I was talking with kinger and pomni showing them some of the translations I have.
Caine stepped in as rocky dropped her arms and she ran off elsewhere.
rocky: why head so mouth?
caine: where are your eyes?
rocky: up your ass and around the corner
grace just holds back a laugh as kinger also tries to not laugh as he picked up on Erid language quickly. pomni just shakes her head trying to not snort because she picked up on just the eridian swears
ragatha: what did rocky call him?
pomni: i'll tell you later
She was snorting pretty badly as she choked out on spit.
caine: and what does the human do?
grace: be loved because I actually helped them
caine is trying to not go ape shit on him as Jax stifles a laugh
pomni: Caine, leave it be. we'll talk after dinner.
caine: no! I will win this
kinger: Caine, come on. leave him be
caine: rocky, what do you do for work?
rocky: be loved by humans and then some.
ragatha: for not having a face he sure seems smug right now
Rocky was very smug.
Grace: rocky! Behave or I won't watch you sleep
rocky: happy gremlin sounds heheheheeee..
All: wait.. WHAT?!
Grace: eridian culture. It's normal for them to watch each other sleep because when they do they seem legitimately paralyzed. And don't get me starting on eating.
Rocky: nAAaasstyy
Caine: what are you?
Rocky: a VirGo. Bitch
Pomni wheezed out as I laughed even harder.
Caine: I give up!
Rocky: body!! Want want want!
Caine: I can do that..
The toothy man snapped as rocky was given a human body and he was overwhelmed as he fell over and held his eyes shut
Grace: uh ... I didn't think of anything...
Rocky : bad bad bad bad BAD BAD BAD BAAAAD!!
I looked through my satchel and found some goggles and put them on as he blinked a few times.
He looked at his hands as he moved them around and then scooted on all fours like a crab
Rocky: leaky space blob is I! My lower useless arms feel dumb and slow. How do you do this?!
Grace: we humans typically learn when we're like.... Still a baby
Rocky: like a newborn pebblet?
Grace: yeah. We learn when we're young.
Rocky: at least I still have my eridian voice
Grace: no joke.
As I picked rocky up to help him walk he wanted to stay on all fours but when he tried to use his fingers on both arms he fell over on his face
Rocky: I hate this so much
Caine: this sounds interesting. What do you need my dear friend?
Rocky: ass hand.
I cracked up at this as caine bit his lower jaw trying to not laugh but failed pretty bad as he cackled out all witchy making everyone else wheeze like a lawnmower, car alarm, dry eraser maker and chalk on a chalkboard all sounded at the same time.
The short jester started turning colour as Kinger was glowing in sync with his laugh as ragatha's weird yarn hair was straight up with the rabbit inflating like a balloon repeatedly popping and coming back to.
The next day caine had an " in house adventure" and rocky wanted to try cooking human food.
As he served up the first batch of ... Well I think it was supposed to be cookies of some sort.
Jax was trying their best to not be rude but failed
Gangle gave him cooking tips and Zooble cleaned up. Kinger was nowhere to be seen and pomni was just waking up still in her pajamas
Grace: What I meant was violence is never the answer. You're supposed to be happy for your friends'success. This isn't about rocky being good at something. Its about you refusing to make the effort to better yourself. And what kind of definition of that person?
Ragatha: Jax?
Grace: Exactly
ragatha: Ughhhi wouldn't wantthat to happen.
grace: Exactly! But I saw him bully kids on roblox. He also asked me if I would love him when he was a worm. And I can't say no to rocky!!
Ragatha walked off as Jax and pomni came over and pulled grace aside
Jax: go on. Tell him
Grace: no.
Pomni: dang it. I need you to help me find my stuffed cat. Named womby don't know where it went
Jax: Raggedy girlie can make you a new womby in, like, three seconds... or Raggedy girlie can be your new womby. She'd do it, too. That girl's got, like, zero self-respect. Ha ha! That's mean. Don't tell her I said that.
Pomni stared at him as rocky came over back to his eridian self as Jax was punched in the balls by the both of them
