Solace
Imagine Grace, Rocky, Simon on Grace's ship. The ship is stabilizing as it pulls free of Tau Ceti e. Everything is dark. Simon returns to something screaming inside. No… it's outside too? Rocky?! Simon finds them in the dark, dying, exposed to air. Grabbing them - heavy! burning! - he races to their enclosure. They drone in agony, then go quiet inside. Simon staggers, his skin throbbing. What happened?! Where's Grace?! The teacher lies unconscious in the medical bay. Armando fusses. Simon feels helpless, his methods of dealing with the wounded too crude for Grace. He waits. They don't move. The Red screams inside. DESTROY THE LIFE THEY FOUND! BEFORE IT DESTROYS US! Simon refuses, curling into himself, losing the world again. Until a touch stirs him. Grace, bandaged and sad above. "Hey…" The voice unfolds him. He reaches out and draws Grace in, needing the man's light near. Grace nods, allowing touch, curling up with him. Both seeking solace. In each other.
i wrote about 5000 words of fanfic about this stupid idea by the way, chapter four right here! [starring ilyukhina's vodka, of course]
Rocky’s behavior instantly makes sense with the combo of social species and traumatically left alone for like half a century.
Of course he’s excited as heck around Grace, he just got someone to talk to again. It’s been years since he had someone, anyone, to talk to.
“You can’t just move in?” Rocky’s internal monologue there must have just been “oh go back to the death ship that killed all my friends? Where I’ve been sitting alone for years? As an alien wired for constant noise and communication? Yeah fuck that, weird space blob, we’re roomies now”
All the privacy invading check ins? Nice mix of cultural clash boundaries and “Where are you? What are you doing? Did you die too? No? Good. For my sanity I need to check again.”
Is… is this anything?
PossessedbyTheEel!Simon scaring the FUCK out of Rocky- while Rocky can’t tell Grace anything or they’ll both die. Don’t pick up random blood tank people, kids.
Let’s hope Rocky can stay awake until they land on Erid :))))))))
(Or until Simon wakes up…)
Keep wondering about how the other Eridians died...
Cause there were 23 of them and I imagine the fact that thats an odd number is on purpose, to help with the "watch each other sleep".
But if Eridians sit basically on top of each other to watch sleep, and if they all died slowly, one by one, how many died until they thought, "something isn't right, this isn't just sleep"?
Did the last few start a sleep pile in Rockys workshop? Cause Rocky didn't get sick, so he must have barely left his workshop (near the astrophage, which kept him safe) if not at all...
But just the thought of, one by one, Eridians not waking up and it slowly cornering Rocky until he's the last one. The Eridians getting anxious about watching another sleep, cause they might not wake up, but they're so tired ...
At least thats my take on it...
Do yall think that Eridian have an equivalent of slow walkers on the sidewalk or would that be a non issue cuz of how they see/hear? And also do yoy rhink theyd have pet peeves? Like 'oh man I hate when other Eridians tap their claws in thought so annoying'.
Would they have any sort of social media lol probably not but im imagining like itd be unnecessary strings they could set up in their homes that conduct songs/stories like cable tv. And if they had cable tv I hope itd be like podcast and opera and soap opera shows/songs.
And music omygosh, imagine that. Theyre already a musical species but do they have anything designated as music? It would probably be non-words, just long or short meaningless notes that are purely for filling silence(another pet peeve'i hste when someone cant just sit in silence ugh') and probably also songs- see the cable tv thing- that are sung on purpose
Another Rocky and Bullwinkle edit cause this scene makes me laugh
THAT'S NOT EVEN YOUR MONEY, BULLWINKLE!!!
