❝ OWWWW my back ❞‬

i toil below the Holy Citadel, making sure the gears keep turning and the smog keeps smogging. there's so much smog here. my throat is sore. i miss my wife

i'm only here to give maintenance updates and find repair tips. don't distract me from my work for too long. indolence is a grave sin y'know. my pal jerry got sent to the slab for that

i don't care what pronouns you use for me. i'd rather you not refer to me at all honestly. not until the Holy Citadel bestows light upon my lowly shell. but yeah

ooc:

hello!! this is a parody/roleplay/ask blog for a regular underworker from silksong.

this blog is largely a joke, so many of my posts will be made with a humorous or ironic tone in mind. swearing and sometimes being mean is part of my bit! (please let me know if i'm ever too mean, though; i want to respect boundaries)

also, check out the hollowblr archives for a list of other cool roleplay blogs!

rules:

1) don't be a little hater; be respectful! also, don't force my character out of the underworks.

2) non-roleplay and roleplay blogs can interact. i would prefer if roleplay blogs from media i am unfamiliar with did not interact, though (i prefer to know what i'm getting myself into).

3) hollow knight and silksong spoilers are allowed.

4) no NSFW/NSFL or fetish content. basic suggestive content is fine (i am an adult).

5) i'm open to storylines, but i'm not really interested in elaborate or high-commitment stuff. please do not expect me to always accept or even be aware of storylines other blogs enact.

6) i'm active during reasonable central time (CT) hours.

7) this character does not represent my personal beliefs. i want to avoid saying offensive things, as i don't want to hurt anyone; i want this to be a safe and fun space! this character may still uphold bad ideas, though (being a member of the Citadel and all). if i ever cause genuine discomfort, kindly let me know so i can correct myself.

8) tabletop battles can be confusing and stressful to me, so i would prefer to avoid encounters that use them.

9) i will never send anonymous asks as this blog. if you get an anonymous ask claiming to be me, that is not me.

10) mentions don't bother me at all! i will very likely acknowledge mentions, but please don't get upset if i don't.

11) i absolutely love getting asks and interactions, but i can often be slow with answering them. please be patient with me! i am a college student who can get busy and experience burnout.

NOTICE: the choral chambers spa is CLOSED. long story short someone got stuck in the pipes (it is now considered a recovery mission) and it's gonna be a whole thing. sorry for the inconvenience

FAQ:

when will the spa reopen?

right now we just don't know. rest assured that we underworkers remain ever devoted to the Holy Citadel and will work swiftly to fix this

is this incident related to the past acts of vandalism on the Holy Citadel?

no, this was an accident that occurred during routine maintenance

why do i feel so empty inside?

you don't have enough rosaries. gather more rosaries to become Holy

will spas in high halls close too?

no, spas in high halls will not be affected by this closure

[phantom-of-the-exhaust-organ]

Someone should urinate in it when it reopens. Explode it, better yet.

[underworker-5459]

FUCK YOU i hope the Citadel forces you to play baby by justin bieber forever

and then i hope someone farts in your organ

[phantom-of-the-exhaust-organ]

I hope someone farts on thine pillow and gifts thee the pinkest of eyes.

[underworker-5459]

okay well i hope that all of your chargers only work if you hold them at a really weird and precise and inconvenient angle

and then i hope that someone FARTS ON ALL OF THEM TOO

[daze-underworks]

Oh, no... I hope everything turns out okay!

I wish they'd let me do repairs outside the Underworks, I want to go to a spa...

[underworker-5459]

if it makes you feel any better we don't actually get to go into the spa. we're only allowed in the pipes and maintenance tunnels underneath

we'd have to get a blessing from a high-standing member of the Holy Choir for Citadel access (which can be a very long and tedious process) (and we have to be under close supervision)

woouaghhh... cool rock.png

[underworker-5459]

that's her favorite png too

[underworker-5459]

*you suddenly see what appears to be… a moving rag?* hmmmm… this part of the citadel is nice and dark, maybe I’ll hide here a while…

Oh! A bug! Hello there bug!

@son-of-the-sleeping-mother

SHI— oh *gives a deep and heavy and lungful breath of relief*

jeez louise man don't creep around like that. i thought you were a drapemite for a second (those things are nasty they deal like two masks of damage) (TWO MASKS seriously who balanced that) (pest control really needs to step things up)

... sooo. uh. do you want something or can i get back to work. i have a grueling rubble quota to meet

[underworker-5459]

Hey coworker, do you know where Sandra got those goggles she liked—likes to wear? Eye protection sounds like a good idea...

@daze-underworks

oh yeah she got those from deep docks

once she got to lead a craftmetal delivery there and i guess she made a really good impression on the smelt shovelers she met. i think they gifted her the goggles (and equipment from the Holy forges does NOT go for cheap so that's one hell of a steal)

she loved it there it was basically all she talked about when she came back. she's been hoping to get another assignment out there but that's yet to happen

anyways you might also be able to lift a pair from one of the snitchbugs that sneak through here. they usually carry some good shit (and all of it is already stolen so if you were wondering about the ethics of that it gets canceled out)

[underworker-5459]

do you love your wife's big silly goggles

yeah

[underworker-5459]

Ooc, Mister mushroom ass anon here: lmao i didn't even think about that i was just trying to allude to the tolkienish 'they dug too deep' trope in a fitting way. anyhow funny blog ya have there my guy hope graham underworks gets his wife back one of these days

ooc: ah yeah, i figured it was a reference to something, but i thought the mister mushroom resemblance was too funny to pass up lol

thank you for the compliment!! and thank you for the ask :D

[underworker-5459]

Old wisdom says never to dig too deep, old wisdom disregarded by those who seek wealth in rock. And well, your wifeys a geologist, so I'd be thinking bout the deepest of places.

??? is this some mister mushroom bullshit what are you even talking about

[underworker-5459]

WHERE IS YOUR WIFE she’s been gone since before you joined this bloody site

she’s sounds so cool and we have seen nothing of her for months. how are you not more bothered by this 5459

I DON'T KNOW that's kind of like. the whole running mystery of this blog

believe me i'd like her back more than anyone. but look. we serve a purpose far beyond our meager shells and desires. if the Holy Citadel has a calling for her elsewhere then that's gotta be heeded 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

she's right where she needs to be

...

(wherever she is)

[underworker-5459]

it is not impossible that you are gay

i mean. i guess. but among my very long list of treacherous predicaments (including but not limited to missing geologist wife, sinister fire magic, bluntpet, one million workplace hazards, vandalized public transport, ruben, etc.) i think i would place sexuality near the bottom

[underworker-5459]

john underworker?

wrong

and that's a stupid ass name who would ever name their kid john underworker. john would be completely understandable but john underworker??? john underworker

[vaultborne]

doesn't the mask you wear ever get kinda heavy

It is perhaps lighter than one might think, but… yes, it is why we art so prone to falling over.

The spaded edge means that same weight can be placed into a spearing dive, however. Much enjoyment we get from that, though we hath not found a good suspect for it in a fair few cycles…

[vaultborne]

We hath now found our’t next ideal victim…! The working class, hehe.

( @underworker-5459 )

[underworker-5459]

man i've had such a good fucking day. i got my single hardtack ration, cameron complimented my rubble wrenching form (been waiting for someone to notice), there were no mass casualties... things sure are looking up 🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

it would be such a day ruiner if a squeaky little nerd suddenly dive bombed me (idk why that would ever happen though)
