Yea no title here because it contains serious stuff. [Stone Figure]

The soft tapping of rain. The gentle whistling of wind filled the air along with soft coos from a sleeping Figure.

A curious eye blinked open from a crevice in the dark cavernous wall.

It scanned the cave for a few seconds as a dark black liquid began to seep outwards and form smaller cracks eroding just tiniest bits of the cave’s wall.

Small pebbles from the newly emerged crack tumbling to the cave floor with a small ‘skksksks’.

The Figure slowly felt its consciousness wax as it let out sleepy “cccht..?” Before giving the air a sniff and letting out a trill of annoyance and lowering its head down unto its nest. “There’s an entrance you know..” it murmured.

Seek’s mass spilled downwards to form a puddle. A few eyes poured out of the wall and the large one one that originally peeked in squeezed its way out of the crevice with a ‘pop’ and joined the rest of its eyes in the large puddle Seek made for itself.

“Mm..no, this way is much more convenient for me..” It said as its body began to take shape into something more recognizable.

“Your wrecking my cave, you fool.” Figure hissed before pressing its head into the softness of its mossy nest once more.

“I have no ill feelings towards your cave! I simply need a connection between my city and your den!” Seek retorted. “Besides, your ‘entrance’ if you can even call it that is a thin crack in the earth concealed by many, many trees. Not an easy find.”

Seek took full humanoid form and sat down nearby, while Figure grumbled an expletive and dug it’s muzzle deeper into its nest. Seek came in slightly closer for a moment.

“I’m trying to sleep.”

Seek reached behind its large eye and pulled out a small green box with golden trim and flowering vines that encircled it.

“I come bearing gifts-“

“I don’t need anything.”

“It’s from Snare.”

Figure perked up slightly and raised its head. ‘Staring’ for a moment. “Give it to me.”

Seek carefully set the green box down on the floor. One of Figure’s oversized arms reached over and felt around for a few seconds before slowly picking up the box cradling it on its chest.

It leaned forward and pressed its muzzle against the box and sniffed before letting out a purr. It gently unwound the vines and opened up the box before reaching in to feel a small pile of seeds.

Seek watched as it trilled and cooed as it got up and encircled the little box. Seek couldn’t help but ‘smile’ a tiny bit. “I take it you like your gift?”

Figure took just a tiny bit and sprinkled some on its tail. “Treasure it.” It softly murmured.

Seek quietly sat down and watched as Figure gleefully paced around the box for a few more moments before lying back down on its stomach.

The plants on its back bristled in the in the soft breezes of cave. Along Figure’s back grew various flytraps, asphodels, poppies, amaranths and even a bouquet of lavender around its head.

“I didn’t know you were a living botanical garden.”

“Let me die in peace.”

“I am obligated by our children not to. But humor me: What’s with the garden?” Seek scooted even closer toward Figure who grumbled raised its head to acknowledge Seek.

“These plants serve a purpose like those silly needles. They keep the bugs away and the ones around my head.. keep me…calm.” Figure gave a hesitant thump of its tail and it pulled the box closer to its chest.

“They all come from different places I’ve wandered…So they need different things..I have to nap on different parts of the cave so they can be cultivated better…Sometimes, I can even get them to bloom all at once and it’s very satisfying..” Seek could see a rare smile grow on Figure’s face. It couldn’t help but look on in mild interest itself.

It stayed silent for a few moments before speaking again. “So they’re from your travels..?”

Figure nodded. “I’ve been places.. hot places..cold places- Smelly places.”

Seek chuckled a little at that last quip and pressed just a tiny bit closer to Figure.

As Figure continued to talk about its plants and of its travels with a now completely engaged Seek, who gradually pressed it for more and more details. One of its eyes drifted towards the cave floor below it, taking in the various cracks, glowing crystals and all the beautiful sight surrounding them.

..This was bliss.

Author’s note: if you want to end it here, you can and are valid for doing so.

Warnings for: Self harm. (Seek discovers scarring from when Figure attempted to rip the rocks off of its thigh.) Seek takes notice, and invites Figure to stay with it for awhile. Figure accepts.

I’ve struggled with similar things in the past. Please take care of yourself and know you aren’t alone. Stay safe, Stay hydrated. I love you. /p - Warden

As it continued doing so, the eye snapped to something pinkish on Figure’s lower thigh. As it scrutinized the part much more intensely it realized what it was looking back and pulled away.

Scars..many.. many bite scars surrounded the rocks on its thigh. Some of them were even lodged deep into the rocks themselves.

.. And then bliss turned to sickness.

Another thing it didn’t notice.

Though they weren’t recent, perhaps even a few years old they were still quite..no..painfully deep in Figure’s flesh and was very much..

Concerning.

“You still care, ya know.”

“I know you won’t say it. But please, at least show it.”

“Things can be as they once were if you want it to be. It still loves you too.”

Those words echoed around Seek’s head like a small voice in a vast lonely cave.

Cave..A lonely cave..this place was beautiful, yes. But..it could be quite isolated…

..

Figure had been as silent as long as Seek was.

Had it done something wrong? Did it say something offensive..?

Did it..see something it didn’t like..?

“Figure..?” Seek finally spoke, a distant look in its eye.

Figure tilted its head slowly, trying sound as relaxed as possible. “Yes..?”

“..Do you want to stay in my city for a few weeks?”

Stone Figure #3 Home

Sorry, no gay kissing in this one.

Screech and Snare. Nobody else

It only came to see them

It only came to see them.

Only them.

…

The library was rickety, but otherwise clean.

Atleast, as far as Figure could tell.

Its nest was decent too, at least as far it could tell.

And the books, too, were decent as far as it could tell. Though, very few were actually in braille.

Everything else was of a monotonous and repetitive sort, pacing, taking a shower with the rusty metal watering can, taking some pain medicine from a bottle of pills that It found, read a book, read another book, read another book, sing, sing again, sing once more. Release the song that was trapped in its throat that threatened to claw its way out.

Figure perked up, as a familiar scent crept into the library. The sound of blinking eyes and the scent of jasmine and tea..another presence too, creeping. Dripping. Smaller than yet less cautious than the other. Both near the edge of its nest of blankets.

“Hello? F-Figure.. Is that you?”

Figure took its time to respond, its mind rattled for an answer.

“..”

“...”

“..Hide?”

Hide crept closer, a hand and an eye emerged from its puddle. It studied Figure for a few moments, slowly reaching over to touch one of the rocks on its skin.

Figure pulled away and made a soft growl, though it didn’t seem like it was angry.

“..Please don’t.”

Hide melted away, giving Figure a respectable amount of distance, watching the lizard adjust itself and stretch its legs.

“..S-Sorry..” It watched Figure for a few moments before reluctantly speaking again. “..You look different.” It flinched and quickly added. “I like your flowers...they’re very pretty.”

Figure rumbled softly, its face almost pinkish as it slowly brought one of its large arms out in front of it to show Hide some more with a reluctant “Thank you.”

Hide moved closer to take a better look at the various flowers and stones growing in and around its flesh.

“..Can I draw you?” It asked tentatively, keeping its eyes low and head dipped down respectfully.

Figure said nothing as it rolled on its stomach and flicked its tongue. “That’s fine..I just want your companion there to reveal themself..” It flicked its tongue and raised its head with a distorted, rocky purr. “..And come closer so I can give you my chin..”

And after a moment, Screech emerged from the shadows and pressed its head into its parent’s.

“luvenis vespertilio orchis..” Figure cooed, its tail lifted and then immediately thumped against the floor.

“Pff, hey dad. I’m not that young.”

Figure purred and rubbed its face up against Screech. A small gesture which Hide happily sketched.

“How are you..?” Figure said with a hoarse whisper. Feeling a bit of unexpected pain in its throat.

“Oh, I’m doing pretty good..I made a few friends- talked with Dupe..Oh! Did dad do the uhh, needle thing?” Screech leaned around, looking for any stray needles Seek might’ve left between Figure’s rocks.

Figure made an amused rumble and nodded.

Screech laughed and waved its tendrils in glee.

“IT DID!? God, I wish I was there!-“

The younger entity was loud and jovial, full of words and anecdotes and phrases and jokes.

If Figure was a humming tune, Screech would be a rhapsodic melody.

It was a lot, it was many, but never overwhelming to the point of annoyance.

It would never be annoying.

The young entity talked for hours on end before it momentarily paused and Figure felt a tendril prod its tail.

“Oh! I see you got Snare’s gift!”

Figure moved its tail out towards Screech, revealing The tiny lily seeds had emerged from its flesh and sprouted.

“They’ll smell nice when they bloom.~” It purred thoughtfully, smoothing a pad over them and its other small garden of plants it had acquired over the years in its flesh.

“Did I ever tell you about the time I went to a forest with gigantic trees, Screech?”

“Yea, you did the ones you climbed and climbed and climbed and it still took you hours to reach the top?”

Figure nodded, remembering the smell of spicy earth and the way pine needles crunched between its teeth and the sun's warmth touching the skin in between the cracks of the rocks consuming its flesh.

“Yes..This place..This place is like it, but it smells..oily...”

It stopped over a small, interestingly shaped leaf. Wispy and fuzzy with soft, crinkly sounds. Pleasant sounding to its ear canals.

It held it in its hand for a moment before It winced, and plucked it off its stem.

“Here, give it to your father…Send it my regards..”

Screech looked at the leaf in its hand, the smile slowly fading into a confused frown. Though, it didn’t say anything in response as it turned it in its hand.

Figure took Screech’s head into one of its pads.

“It’s getting late my dear, you should head back home...you too, Hide.”

Hide looked at its finished sketches, Screech and Figure nuzzled together, Figure with a leaf in its mouth and Figure and its flowers.

“Thank you,” it peeped, and then promptly turned into a puddle and sped out the door at lightning speed.

“I’m a night owl, I can stay up for a few more hours..”

“Mm..I am more than aware, but you should rest regardless..and I’ll be up in the morning sniffing around this strange place.”

Figure licked Screech’s cheek, letting out a crackly purr of amusement as the entity recoiled with a “AH- OKAY oKay-!”

Screech then leaned back in and gave Figure one more, singular hug to Figure.

This one much longer.

“..I missed you dad..just...please have a goodnight’s sleep okay..?”

“..My little orchid..do you..?-” Figure started with a sorrowful trill but Screech was already gone and left the small ghost of its warmth on Figure’s shoulders.

It sighed, curled up and stretched the blankets of its nest with its legs before setting itself down on its stomach.

Figure heard the walls creak and shift briefly raised its head.

“You’ve raised them well, haven't you?” It whispered into the creaks and shivers of the wall. Even in a different room it could still smell it in every corner, wall, nook and cranny.

It was in the moisture in the air, the absorbed water of its plants, even the worms moved through the dirt below the boards held its eternal gaze.

The next few words a prayer to the city’s god.

“..Thank you..”

“..Keep them safe when I’m gone for good.”

It kept its head raised for a response that never came, and after a moment, it simply laid its head back down and embraced the silence.

And it stayed there, unable to sleep and the aching of its tail and legs growing ever expansive as the hours passed.

——

Sorry, I know you wanted to see them kiss. But not yet. Goodness gracious, I need to make some fluffy stuff after this. This community needs some hope and light fr.

God!Seek has a cult concept/idea??

Alright so, I need your opinion because this was going to be used in a ask blog..if this would fit in. Please be critical on if it would fit into the story or or not..because I'm very iffy because I wonder if they even could or be relevant or even have a use storywise-

Trans people, Transients and Tax evaders! :D

(oh and therians)

Seek, despite being very big has human blorbos..."Favorites" if you will. Maybe an old lady who was brave enough to venture into the city to grab her things. Or maybe she never left.

Or maybe some queer people who rightfully don't really like living amongst other humans due to well- *gestures all around us* y e a.

or the occasional career criminal/tax evader probably being the most common.

They live there in exchange for feeding Seek, or just got lucky and had a general connection with the entity (or its family) somehow. Screech has some human friends its age it hangs out with. Use "cult" loosely. It's more like a small friend group that Seek won't eat and occasionally push goverment officals trying to find them into slime. Seek can't understand/speak spoken english very well but it can read just fine. So whenever they want to talk to "lord Seek" they simply whip out the whiteboard or notepad. Screech (to a greater extent) and Snare (to a lesser extent) can speak english though.

They have affectionate nicknames for Seek (Lord Seek, Mx many eyes, Big tuna), Snare (Plant lizard, Puppy eyes, Sneem, Snart, Nippy ), Screech (Screecher, Screechy, Screem,) and Hide (Shyguy, Hider, H E E D (inside joke started from a typo), closet man ) Rush (stinky, zoomy, Fluffy) and Ambush (Smelly, Zippy, Fuzzy) whenever they visit + Glitch (Greecher, Gleetch,)

They'd be restricted to certain parts of the city, because A: Buildings have a tendency to collapse and Hide's anxiety around humans.

I wonder how they'll react to the new creature within the city's borders.

Anything featuring babies or kissing in this fandom will result in a good post

Okay enjoy ur non-canon baby lizards

—-

“BEEEEP! BEEEEEP! BEEEEEEEP!”

The babies loudly and chaotically squeaked and beeped and skittered around their little crib.

Seek groaned as it tossed and turned in Figure’s arms in their shared bed.

“Your children are being noisy again…”

Figure grumbled and coughed a few times before speaking. “If I..remember correctly..it..was your..*hack* tender..hands that helped create them..now you HELP tend to them..!”

Figure rolled over and with a soft “whack” of a tail pushed Seek toward the edge of the bed.

Seek sat on the bed for a few seconds staring at the ceiling blankly processing having situational awareness. It turned back to look at the now resting Figure and it covered its eye with two of its hands.

“Hhh..I..five of them..why did it have to be five..”

Figure made a soft chortle and Seek felt something smooth and stony caress its bottom most hand.

“I’ll be up..soon..” Figure made another hacking sound before settling its head back into the blankets and pillows.

Seek’s heart sank a little..it just hoped it WOULD be up later..that cough sounded-

“BEEP! BEEP BEEP BEEP!”

“Alright..alright I’m coming!”

The small entities grew even more restless as their parent approached them. Seek took the time to shrink its form just a little as to not whack the mobile that hung over the large bassinet that housed the baby lizardlets.

Seek stuck a finger into the crib and waited a few seconds to see if they were hungry. Though, none really snapped at it or ran towards it as usual..

‘How odd.’ Seek thought as it carefully plucked an unusually long and skinny baby from the bassinet and began to study it. ‘Usually they’re a tad more energetic then this..do they just want attention..?’

The still unnamed child’s whiskers twitched in Seek’s hand and began to squirm a bit.

It took Seek a moment, but it noticed a few drops of what seemed to be blood trickling down its small stomach and the start of what seemed to be a greyish discolored rash on its otherwise fleshy skin.

“..”

Seek quietly set the child down and picked up another, this one more robust. As she nestled up against its fingers, it noticed that like his sibling, she too had grayish discolorations around her small stomach and underneath her legs. But he seemed non the wiser.

More content to play in spite of her obvious illness that, if left unchecked..

Seek’s hands softened a little. No, it wouldn’t let that happen to its son. NOR any of its other offspring…or its…its partner..

It was a city-spanning all-consuming, ever expanding, merciless and titan sized GOD! Every single physical surface within eight miles of its city contained at least a drop of itself and it has a citywide radius of knowledge surrounding and within it! SURELY..

“Booweeeeeeeeererereee!”

Seek’s attention was forced back on its child. Who was now busily working her small but serrated canines into his parent’s fingers.

Seek put its head into its hand and studied her.

“What do you want, hm?”

“Berweet!”

“What is your heart’s desire? Your closest, deepest wish so near and dear to your heart and soul? Say it now my child and I’ll grant your wish post-haste!”

“Bbbbbeeerrweet!”

“Ah, doable. Very doable.”

“Beerweet!”

“And a very smart choice too, you’re a tiny intellectual.”

“Beeeeerruuuurrrwweeet!”

Seek’s mass rippled for a few seconds before a toothbrush emerged.

“Behold.”

“Berweet!”

Seek gently scooped up two of her siblings, setting her and them down on a nearby, thoroughly blanketed table before reaching down and retrieving the two remaining children out of a tiny blanket nest they had been snuggling and snoozing in together in a tiny little circle just a moment before.

Seek carefully picked up the child with the bleeding tail, with a small wipe wet wipe it cleaned away the blood off its little tail.

It squeaked and wiggled, but in the end the blood was wiped off.

“Shh..It’s okay my sweet..” Gently, Seek set the lizardlet down. It trembled for a few moments before letting out a small trill as it felt a toothbrush slowly roll over it.

Seek gave it a good brushing, taking care to not brush against its equally tiny bite wounds. Brushing until its chitters of pain lessen to soft purrs.

After awhile, Seek picked up the next one.

This one was like a tiny moss garden.

Seek was careful not to brush off any of its delicate greenery, instead focusing its little head.

Which the child certainly did appreciate, brushing its head up against the bristles like a friendly little cat meeting its new owner.

Its whiskers were curly and it chased after the brush with enthusiasm.

The forth little one was a spitting image of Seek. With many little eyes crammed into one tiny lizard-like body. Was it even a lizard? Was a goo creature like itself in the shape of one? Perhaps a secret third thing? Seek didn’t really know.

Only that it didn’t like being brushed and rippled and chirped. Hiding under its sibling’s legs and running away while the mossy one chased and swatted after the bristles in excitement. The fifth one was sleepiest, a very bony little lizard. With tiny, sharp little pieces jutting out and around its body.

That one..Seek was the most worried about.. if THEY had the stone disease.. it could turn inwards much more quicker..perhaps even START inwards..Seek brushed the child much more urgently as what-if’s filled its head.

All while the child continued to sleep with its little tail in its mouth.

Seek squeezed its eye shut, gently it picked them all up. One by one. Gently placing them back into their little shared crib and quietly observed them.

After a few moments, it melted into a small puddle that covered all the babies like a little blanket. Its eye drooped a little as the babies instinctively snuggled near it.

Once they all seemed secure, it allowed itself to sleep.. as its eye drifted closed it noticed Figure getting up out of bed and approaching the bassinet. It stood over them for a few seconds, before laying its head on the edge of the crib.

Seek reached out and gently brushed Figure’s chin. Getting a quiet chirp out of it.. before slipping away into a deep sleep..

Stone figure CAN:

>move around sufficiently for most of the time

>forage for plant-based foods

CANNOT:

>Be out in the cold

>hunt living organisms

>roam for long periods of time

This means:

>will need constant care

>growing plants require more nutrients, resulting in increased appetite

>needs a constant supply of food

>rest often so as to not pass out and potentially be hurt from a fall

>emotional and mental enrichment is best to keep its mind healthy! Provide braille books and occasional conversation

>needs to be warmed up if it does come into contact with cold temperatures

Wait how has bbg been getting protein?? Does this mean Stone Figure is probably on the smaller end-?? Maybe the cavern has fish?? Or it eats BATS??

Pov: you’re stone figure and your full of Omega 3’s and fatty acids. (Someone please draw this)

Also yea that pretty much confirms it, I really want stoney to have agency in this though- I mean Snare could?? Do it?? But it’s very posh and there’s no way it’d take care of its ill parent even if it does love it-

[doorrobloxstuff]

Imagine god seek lying down with an especially injured stone figure and lizard just falls asleep and then seek cannot move for fear of waking it up

The body horror potential with rocks growing out of stone figure is one I have passed on and now I deeply regret it.

Going to have to fix that next chapter. ;)

But Figure is rarely asleep. (Pain) so if it does it’ll probably get up or roll over.

[doorrobloxstuff]

I tried looking up any way that I could translate my nickname to Sumerian, but unfortunately, I can not. So here's the translations that I could find(Ps, they could definitely be wrong, idk. So if they are, please forgive me for that 😓😞)

Latin: luvenis vespertilio orchis

Old Norse: Ungr bat orchið

Translation: Young bat orchid

I love the first one so..I think I’ll use latin since this IS an au. Plus it can simply have learnt about it from Seek.

[doorrobloxstuff]

Can Figure call Screech a Nickname that is translated from Old Norse? I feel like given how old it is, it may have about decent knowledge on old and dead languages from the old books that It had once in the library.

I've been (((Toying))) around with the idea Seek's family can speak latin..maybe ancient sumerian since Jeff is MILLIONS..upon MILLIONS of years old. His children would probably speak/be taught that language...

hmm
