I’m gonna regret this

The next 5 asks that come in, I’m putting in full effort, I will spend as much time as it takes they are going to be fully colored and everything, try me

note: this does not take place until FAR after the main plot, you can ask him but adress them as future Coe/puce

It was another snowy day, clouds of empathy was feeding scruffy when suddenly a slugcat fell through the pipe and lands on the ground “Ah, hello little slugcat! Do you come to visit? Perhaps you need rest, there are plenty of shelters in my substructure, feel free to stay a while!” Coe explains.

Without so much as a word the slugcats eyes start flashing every color imaginable and a karma ten symbol appears behind him, before…*PING*!

Coe darted to look at the slugcat but what he sees…is scruffy…laying on the ground…lifeless…Coe is distraught, he knows he won’t come back this time…he glares at the slugcat”WHAT DID YOU DO TO SCRUFFY?!”

The Slugcat takes aim of the karma ten symbol at Coe, But he takes action and kills the slugcat, he’d be back tommorow so he goes on lockdown shutting down almost all function except for his communication arrays.

He sends out the following message:

“Triple affirmative! Hello, you know who I am but what’s more important is what you don’t know, scruffy has been ascended, the triple affirmative has found its way to our local group, I suggest everyone locks down until that…THING, leaves.”

And so for about. 300 cycles nothing happened, Coe never got over the loss of scruffy…sometimes still throwing his toys around pretending he would come back with them, once it finally ended the others all tried reaching out to him, exept for bitter void. He didn’t reply to a single one of them, until eventually passionate beyond lesser understanding reached out with a forced communication.

Pblu: “Empathy, you know I don’t like abusing my authority as senior but this is serious, we know you lost scruffy but it isn’t like you not to talk to us about your problems.”

Coe: “you wouldn’t understand…”

Pblu: “empathy, I have sent a purposed organism to you, he will arrive in approximately 10 cycles.”

Coe: “I know what your trying to do. You can’t replace him.”

Pblu: “I’m not trying to replace him, I’m trying to help you, you don’t need to forget scruffy but another friend may help you cope better.”

Coe: “…”

And so a few cycles later another slugcat arrived, not a typical purposed organism, it was an pink slugcat with a collar, slightly underweight but in its stomach it had a locket with a picture of Coe and Scruffy. Coe immediately started warming up to the slugcat, cleaning it up and even naming it puce. After a while puce and Coe got close,Coe even started letting her sleep in scruffy’s old den, feeding her, but something still felt…off. It would probably be fine, he’s just still getting over scruffy. He kept slowly warming up and getting to understand puce, she was much more energetic so he turned his chamber into a massive shelter and added a jungle gym and a rest area. But he still couldn’t shake that feeling…whatever, it will heal with time, he hung up a picture of scruffy and himself and started talking to the others again, he told Sol and Heavenly about the lingering feeling

Sol: “oh, I don’t think that will heal with time, maybe you just need to vent?”

Coe: “Nevermind, I’m gonna go.”

Heavenly: “wait-“

Coe: “bye.”

After a while Coe grabbed puce wrapped up in a blanket and cried, well, no tears but he felt like he was crying. Eventually he calmed down and felt a bit better, maybe he would just have to live with this, sometimes even gods feel fragile.
