[...Oh. It's that thing again.]

[It swims up slowly, dragging something behind it with one of its many limbs. It's... A dead Pipe Man?]

[It swims closer, then attempts to gingerly place the monster corpse in the Furnace's "mouth", before backing away.]

[Well. It technically didn't return empty-handed...]

( @k1ll3r-w41l )

[ SNAP. it's hatch closed almost immediately. Almost a little too slow yet as fast as a Venus fly trap. ]

[ before you could take a double take flames burst out and scorched the fuel into liquid components, metal. Flesh. And possibly bone marrow. And ash ]

"...."

" I ANSWER TWO QUESTIONS. IF SEA OF LAND CHOOSE THY SPEAK ."

[ There's the kettle screeching sounding tone as smoke rumbled out its bent pipes ]

[The creature doesn't respond, remaining at a reasonable distance from the Furnace. The silence feels like it drags on forever...]

"Gghghghrgghghghgglllll...?"

[...Ah. Right. It can't talk. At least, not anymore...]

[It gurgles, its mouth still submerged. It's clearly trying to communicate, but its apparent inability to do so only seems to frustrate the creature.]

[It throws its two front limbs up, the way a person would throw up their arms in exasperation, and lets them splash back down into the water, visibly dejected.]

" Mm..Cane? Curly hair has a crush on some guy who's basically has noodles for arms? "

" Didn't see em. Not that I care. HAHA. "

[ it let out a mocking train whistling tune as it kept burning its fuel ]

[ guess it knew..Or HEARD thing or two. ]

" ORR.....are you asking for something else? "

[The creature seemed more... Confused, than anything, as if the Furnace just said something completely incomprehensible.]

[Welp, this was a bust. Whether it was a case of mixed signals or complete lack of comprehension, the Kraken would likely never know.]

[So, instead of making any other attempts to reply, it just sinks lower beneath the surface.]

" NOT MY FAULT I DON'T KNOW WHAT YOU'RE SAYING. "

[ it's honestly playing the guessing game and spewing other people's words like a metal parrot exchange steam ]

" USE YOUR HANDS. "

[ if it would, it would have made a annoyed sound ]

" ARE YOU SAYING GOODBYE? "

[The creature does that strange, swaying motion again - probably trying to shake its head "no". Its eyes drifted towards the water, the creature visibly trying to remember something-]

[Wait. Wait a second.]

[The creature practically jolts upright, seemingly just now processing what was being said to it before.]

[Curly hair, cane... Was it talking about-]

"Ggshhyhhhhrrgllll..... Bbrrrggggggglllll.....?"

[It swims closer, emitting a barrage of chirps, squawks and gurgles, stopping short of the Furnace itself once it remembers it very much could still fry the creature to a crisp.]

[Well, at the very least, it seemed that it at least knew the person the Furnace was talking about. That's a start, right?]

" YES. THAT. "

[ it doesn't know what it's saying still but whatever, it was getting something correct ]

[ ... honestly if anyone saw this conversation they're just be hearing angry kettle sounds and gurgles back and forth.. ]

" I BROKE HER SINK ONCE. LAZARUS GAVE ME A MONTH WORTH OF COAL. BLEW HOLE THROUGH CEILING. "

" I KNOW.... SOME THINGS!! "

[ it huffed out some smoke pipes raising and falling. Curling closer to itself like a cat...a metal one in its case. ]

[The monster seems agitated - not aggressive, just... Stressed? Almost as if it had been expecting a completely different answer as it paces back and forth, trying to communicate something but utterly failing.]

[In the middle of its frantic confusion, though, it completely freezes for a moment, its body still and eyes unfocused, almost as if it's... Zoning out, becoming unaware of where it is or what it's doing.]

[ . . . ]

[It eventually snaps back to reality, emitting a hiss (or maybe a sigh?), and sinking slightly lower into the murky water.]

[Great. It won't even get to keep the few shreds of sanity it has left in the long run, will it?]

" IF THY FISH, WISH TO RETURN TO NORMALCY. ONE SHALL RETURN TO A LOCATION OF COMFORT. "

[ For once, furnace is helping. Most likely in hopes it'll be able to get coal out of it ]

" RUN ALONG. I HAVE NO USE OTHER THEN WARMING A FISH LIKE YOU. "

[ It's body started to scrunch up like a wilting plant it's fire dying off again as pipes sunk back into the heater sewage water ]

" MAY YOUR WOES BE MANY....AND YOUR DAYS BE FEW.."

[ then it fully collapsed its core holding little small sparks ]

A college-adged kid stalks through the doors, looking deeply annoyed.

Hey you! Yeah, you! Why do you have a grudge against Hellride? >:(

" ITS TRYING TO STEAL MY FIRE GIMMICK. "

[ it wheezed coughing up some coal dust like some elderly animal ]

[ before slumping back down into the sewer water a little more ]

" JUST BECAUSE YOU TURNED INTO A CAR THAT GOES TO HELL DOESN'T MEAN A THING TO ME."

[ THUNK. ]

[The waters hot, too hot. for any genuinely comfort is someone starting a large bonfire ? ]

[ definitely not as there's some ticks scuttling away from the source ]

[ The crackling of fire was temporary as a sound that could be the equivalent to a kettle over heating and making the irritating shrieking whistle from across the sewer hall ]

[ .... Definitely not alone anymore. ]

- @the-fierybeast

[The creature gurgled, the deafening whistle interrupting its nap. It left its usual hiding spot, managing to catch a stray tick as it tried to scurry away. Definitely not the most nutritious of meals, but in the sewers that's about as good as it gets.]

[Sure, the smell of food from a nearby camp was enticing, but... Something deep in the creature's fractured mind kept it away.]

[It swam closer to the source of the heat though the admittedly shallow water, seemingly curious, but stopped a reasonable distance from the gargantuan furnace nestled in the middle of the sewer junction. Huh. Was it suddenly active now? But why?]

[It totally wasn't related to the creature snacking on the ticks conveniently scattered around the sewers, usually stuck to a pipe-like tendril. Toootally not.]

[ It may not have eyes but it let out this screaming sound of a whistle blowing as it fire raged past a normal level ]

[ was it THIS pissed at the sight of another giant beast in its...house? Is this technically able to be called a house? ]

[ Nearby pipes started shaking as steam was running through them ]

" ABANDON ALL HOPE. ALL YE WHO ENTER "

[ ....Oh god it speaks. Kinda. Sounds muffled due to all the fire. Visitor just be making anything sentient now of days huh? ]

[...Oh, okay then.]

[The Kraken began swimming backwards, away from the Furnace, emitting a low rumble as it moved. Clearly, this turf was claimed, and their presence wasn't welcome.]

[Best to cut its losses and leave. Maybe grab a tick on its way out.]

[*crunch*]

[Still gross, but down here, beggars can't be choosers.]

" WHY RUN. FACE ME NOW. "

[ either it was really poor at inviting someone forward or was looking for a actual worthy opportunity to fight someone down here ]

[ atleast something equally in size. It's pipes shook as one barely lifted out of the water as furnace actively converted what limited coal it had to reheating its entire system ]

" LAZ SAYS I DON'T BITE. "

[ It wheezed out bits of coal dust and bits ]

[ Thunk. one of it's pipes fell down as it lets out steam from the exhaust, likely one from the ones from the top of its body with how it fell. Now bobbin in the water ]

[For a while, the creature did not move, simply observing the Furnace with its large, unblinking eyes. Did it even understand what was being said? Could it understand?]

[...Then, it slowly approached, but not too close, least it be boiled alive. Perhaps it could understand speech after all.]

[It makes an orca-like squawk as it peeks its head slightly more out of the water, some of its teeth poking out from the water. Not like it could help it.]

[Teeth aside, it was clearly trying to respond, regardless of how ineffective it would turn out to be.]

" YOU ARE THE FISH SMELL YES. "

[ sounded more like a rude statement rather than a question as it's flames died down enough to not occupy the air with its coal dust and steam ]

[ smaller ticks scrambling back towards the pipes...only to be fried given the pipe lining hasn't fully cooled ]

[ It's hatch opened, just to loudly shut close in a loud booming noise causing it's body to rattle and caused the water to ripple ]

[ it visibly looked like it was on its last leg due to the lack of coal intake...mainly because it's summer. ]

[Fish smell? But... It wasn't a fish. It wasn't in any way related to a fish. It didn't even look like a fish! How dare the Furnace make such a blatantly incorrect comparison?]

[...Wait, why did this matter? Why did it remember there being a difference?]

[It tilts its head, both slightly confused and intrigued. Mostly because the giant Furnace was speaking, first and foremost.]

" YOU. HAVE BEEN THE ONLY THING THAT HAS SPOKEN. "

[ It's pipes burst with more steam, boiling the waters around it as the fire burns brighter. Almost blinding. ]

" HAVE YOU COME TO SUCK THE LIFE OUT OF MY CORE LIKE THY TICK? "

[ That was its only question. This person...beast. wasn't Lazarus. Or the other worker that willingly comes down here to brush rust off its body so its declared it as a threat. ]

" I WILL NOT SHUT DOWN SO EASILY...CREATURE OF SEA. "

[The beast, strangely enough, flinched and darted backwards, but not out of view. Probably because the water got too unbearably hot.]

[It waited for the Furnace to finish its speech. For a little while it just sat there, unmoving, before beginning to sway its head (body? Both?) side to side.]

[Was it... Was it trying to shake its head?]

[It let out two short squeaks. Almost sounded like a garbled "nuh-uh". Regardless of how unnatural and awkward its attempts to communicate were, it clearly wasn't trying to challenge the Furnace.]

[The beast sank further back below the water, only its eyes peeking out above the surface as it began to attempt to retreat again.]

#lorp #sam's inferno #forgot it was on like 10 pieces of coal till now 🧍#sybils kinda mentioned here....ig.

" I WILL BURN YOU ALIVE. IF YOU COME BACK EMPTY HANDED. "

[ with the last bits of remaining coal it's fire died off as it settled back down looking more like a rust bucket than something that could turn you into urn ash in second ]

[ it's pipes slumped over like disregarded limbs ]

[ Maybe it's dead? Or unconscious. who knows the ticks don't seem to care given they started scuttling back the few seconds later. ]

[ someone's A/C explodes in the distance upstairs. Unrelated to your beast problem... hopefully. ]

[ THUNK. ]

[The waters hot, too hot. for any genuinely comfort is someone starting a large bonfire ? ]

[ definitely not as there's some ticks scuttling away from the source ]
