2nd Contraption - Oh, Worm?!
Who: César Salazar (pineapplesalmon), YOU, and a giant frigging worm
What: The larvae inside César from the ship mutates into a giant EVO worm when it encounters one of César's nanites, which activates
When: May 1st (May Day) for fight; May 2nd for revival, May 3rd (late) through 9th for mandatory vacation
Where: Battle mostly in the field and forest nearest the path to Pumpkin Hollow from the nearest trolley stop to César's farm
Warning(s): giant green worm/larvae (MANY many eyes, fourth human arms around its mouth, rows of throat teeth), burning worm flesh does not smell like the Stay Puft Marshmallow Man
NOTES: Harvey has given sign-off that some of this can be canned for later. Because. It's a lot. So bountiful groceries for the price of basic! Or free if you are a food producer.
1. [CW: Debugging, chest-burster followed by crushing death, worm warnings (see above), fire, violence, o] A closed log to Magne and Dabi. César's death with potential haunting of Magne to follow. You stay by your soil-mate's side, you know?
2. [CW: worm warnings (see above), worm on people on worm violence, holes, only attempted vore because it's in too much pain (UPON REQUEST), can spew dirt on you (emeto, UPON REQUEST)] BEAT THE CRAP OUT OF IT. Shorter threads because that bastard is gonna run away.
With another shrieking roar, a giant grub slams out of the ground, spraying dirt and rock everywhere. It's angry. It's hurt. And it has just spotted you.
Everything's been attacking it, and so will you, so it must attack you first.
3. [CW: (now dead) worm warnings, holes, likely someone eating it] GENERAL MINGLE THREAD. Touch the body. Be glad you can't get nanites.
The corpse is ripe to be picked over. After all, its not using it anymore. It would be a bad thing to let this much raw material go to waste, unstudied and unused.
4. [CW: Nonconsensual vacation] I'll post this one a bit later! But wildcarding will be heavily encouraged. :) César's getting a mandatory vacation because he died and WON'T FRIGGING REST.
Here's a reference to caterpillar anatomy! And also a picture of its head. This is what the caterpillar USED to be.
The caterpillar is as tall as a single story when lying flat. Segmented. Green with some fuzz. Many, many red eyes. Four human arms have replaced its maxillary palps, two on each side of its mouth which leads immediately into rows and rows of very pointed teeth down its throat. The spiracles have become engorged yellow sacks. The true legs and protolegs are now capped off with claws.
CW: Talking about butchering of the animal in this section!
The claws of the legs (the length of an adult human forearm) and the teeth (many fitting well in a human hand) are big enough to be very useful. And also the eyes are solid, so they might... be interesting to keep around? The skin would be more mammalian, so it can be used for making green leather.

The Floor is Larvae
A shrieking roar in the distance and yelling from people breaks the peace of the afternoon, followed by a spray of dirt as the ground shakes. More commotions ensue. Then sudden, the earth begins to tremble, then rumble, and then shake. It's coming towards you.With another shrieking roar, a giant grub slams out of the ground, spraying dirt and rock everywhere. It's angry. It's hurt. And it has just spotted you.
Everything's been attacking it, and so will you, so it must attack you first.

The Still Worm Body
The worm finally dove down into the earth and came back up in a place without anyone to attack it. Unfortunately for the grub, it was only to die. The body lies still in a field. It's four arms around his mouth are slumped down, it's dozens of red eyes are open in a death stare. The tusk-shaped claws close to its body and its hundred or so of throat teeth are almost all attached. Some of its flesh is burnt, some of missing, some of it punctured such that it oozes.The corpse is ripe to be picked over. After all, its not using it anymore. It would be a bad thing to let this much raw material go to waste, unstudied and unused.

WORM GENERAL INFO
32 second YouTube Video of the Worm EVO in action - Attempted VOREHere's a reference to caterpillar anatomy! And also a picture of its head. This is what the caterpillar USED to be.
The caterpillar is as tall as a single story when lying flat. Segmented. Green with some fuzz. Many, many red eyes. Four human arms have replaced its maxillary palps, two on each side of its mouth which leads immediately into rows and rows of very pointed teeth down its throat.

Worm body scavenging
PER talking with Drake, the CW: DEAD ANIMAL AS FOOD DESCRIPTION FOLLOWING THIS flesh is definitely a bit similar to the internals of lobster. So. Uh. Someone please don't let all this high protein stuff go to waste. It will respond well to canning. And there will be no nanites in whatever is canned. It will also give you the bonus of bountiful groceries for the price of basic. Which means if you get free basic, you'll get free bountiful! Or it can be used later.The claws of the legs (the length of an adult human forearm) and the teeth (many fitting well in a human hand) are big enough to be very useful. And also the eyes are solid, so they might... be interesting to keep around? The skin would be more mammalian, so it can be used for making green leather.
EVO WORM PICTURES
no subject
"We're not in your world, or mine and Mag's." He starts, voice more serious now. "Do you see others working themselves into the ground hard enough that they get put in time out by god. Or...Goddess...whatever. You get my point, you need this rest. Can you imagine how freaked Mag would be if you collapsed because of over working yourself? Screw June, I think you need to start chilling out now."
cw: food scarcity mention
César lets out a long sigh, putting his face in both his hands now and rubbing it. "... Yeah, I know." He sounds more defeated than he'd like. "My goal for this week is to start figuring out how to have fun for myself and to relax. I'll limit my work further with time to a normal work week when I can work again. Start reducing the intensity from there. Slowly wean myself to something normal."
He drops his hands and looks to Dabi, a bit tired. "I came here in the middle of a famine. The worst was mitigated, but... I'm used to working on a global scale. Making sure people have full stomachs next winter didn't seem like much of an ask. It's taking major recalibration on my part to be realistic about what I can do, here."
As much as he means everyone, there's still one person he means more than others. Magne. The overwork ramped up before he got closer to others.
no subject
He sighs and picks up his food again, lounging back to continue eating.
"But I'm not gonna lecture you any more, last thing you need is me hounding you. Mag can do that herself."
no subject
Literally getting squished into the ground by a giant worm. César sighs as well, taking his onigiri back up to eat. But thoughts of Magne wipe away his melancholy with a soft smile.
"She'll do worse than nag—she'll be upset. And she made me promise to keep working at taking better care of myself, interrupting me before I could collapse. So I just need to keep getting better at doing that. If I try ramping that nonsense up again, she'll just forcibly princess carry me back home."
After a moment of thought, he adds. "... I haven't been this well rested in forever." But then he quirks a grin. "Except for this morning's hangover. And that was after I drank a bunch of water before bed."
no subject
Too bad Dabi is still trying to get over his more antisocial habits.
"Maybe next time."
no subject
He considers while taking a bite of his onigiri. "I had the impression you needed to seriously decompress. I fixed up this townhouse in case someone needed to escape the Oak & Iron and take their time."
César chuckles. "There will definitely be a next time. People were really into it."
no subject
"Whatever, next time I'll have to go see what it's like."
no subject
A little smirk. "Just say it to Magne once, and she'll never forget. But you should. Find out some interesting facts about people."
Two truths and a lie counts as his debut, right?
no subject
"Yeah, definitely something to mention to her." She had been the one that was good at trying to care for him.
Which reminded him, with the weather heating up he should see about finding some barley tea...it'd be good to help cool him down.
no subject
"You did get to see the aftermath last night, though. And this morning." César says with self-deprecating humor.
Because Magne had to walk a drunk César home and put him to bed. And then César woke up with a hangover. For the first time in his life. He hadn't complained, but he was clearly miserable and looked it. Reminding Dabi of this is César's way to redirect Dabi's thoughts to something more amusing.
You know, you should really mention to your roommate that overheating can be an issue.
no subject
It's not but he'll pretend it is for now.
"Yeah, that sure was a sight." He grins thinking about seeing Magne be so sweet as to help the very drunk César only to then see him nursing his hangover the next morning. "Please tell me you at least had a good amount, I don't know if I can live with a lightweight."
He's teasing, promise.
no subject
César grins back. "Three beers. Which, I honestly should've realized were going to take me out. But I was too gobsmacked that I kept having to drink."
