If anyone came to your home, you would tell them to mind the 'squishies', before gesturing to the small, multicoloured orbs of squeaking goo that follow you around.
There is a blue, red, yellow, orange, and pink blob that follows you around your home, bouncing and squeaking as you go about your work at home. Quite often, you have one or two of them on your shoulders when on calls, blessedly, they remain quiet and calm when they can tell you're working, but the moment the camera is off and the call ends? Endless demands for attention, for kisses, and to be allowed to sit on your head, shoulders, or in your lap.
On Halloween, you lined them up in little paper hats, dressing them up for a seasonal picture to send out to your friends, enjoying how they clung to the little hats for days after. The red and pink blobs grew rather sad when the paper got ruined by their slime, thankfully you found someone online who sells pet-sized hats and the little blobs' sadness only lasted a week.
Occasionally, you let them join you in the shower, having them bounce in the small puddle you make by standing over the drain, laughing as they splash and slip around on the tiled floor. But joining you is only an occasional thing, as once the orange slime soaked up too much water and grew a little too big, dwarfing the others and bullying them with his size.
Your hair dryer was a mighty tool in returning the status quo.
While you're not quite sure how they got into your apartment, you're happy they did, loving the little blobs that roll around after you. Now, if only you knew how lovingly their actual owner watches you through the little creatures it sent you, after all, it needs to know which colour and personality you like best!
So it's content to wait a little longer, and slip right on through into the cracks of your life...
This is entirely inspired by me remembering the LADS blobu event and some fanart that came from it, god I love the little guys...
