Essek has unfortunately found the couture store, so he looks like a rich, Victorian gothic vampire. Frumpkin is with him and also has been forced into the high-fashion, Victorian aesthetic: a little, dark mantle that has a fish charm dangling from the tie in front.]
We'd need to know each other a lot better for me to answer that question without hesitation, so I won't take the blame for this. [HOW WAS HE SUPPOSED TO KNOW THERE WAS A TIMER BEFORE YOU TRANSFORMED!!!!] I assume we have to wait for it to wear off...
[Also, gently bats at Frumpkin's paw with his free hand.]
If I let you eat him, I don't know how he'll come back afterward. What if he turns back into a human in your stomach? You'd explode.
[DON'T JUST SAY THIS. The worm starts wiggling back and forth in an S shape, distressed. STOP, STOP, STOP. Then it goes still. Not dead, just still. Shaking its little worm head. How could this happen to it?
Frumpkin wilts back into a sit, but watchfully looking up at Childe in case he drops THE WORM... His tail is flicking back and forth, slow.]
Except then the public shenanigans happen wow amazing. How silly. Did you know that both me oocly and Childe icly didn't read the worm curse description until Aventurine pulled it up.
But that means that after the chaos dies down Childe will come find him again to be annoying, unless Anders dragged him off for a jealous bang session for the rest of the night in which case this thread continuation is not happening
[WTF. WHY IS THE JOKE DOUBLED UP? He fucking hates it here!!! Don't just bring him dirt like an asshole and then have it be coffee! He's going to destroy this fox ass man.
He flinches out of reflex when the grounds are flicked at him, and then glares after when he realizes it's COFFEE. He tries to take the stupid jar from Childe so he doesn't get flicked again.]
[DO IT ESSEK... YOU WON'T!!! (Alpha challenge voice)
ALSO DON'T FOOT ICON ME WHAT THE FCK
At least this seems to be the extent of Childe's obnoxious behavior... for now... he laughs, but he lets Essek have the jar without a fight. There is nothing nefarious mixed in there, it's just coffee. Sometimes you don't know how to react to being told you are important to someone, even for something as stupid as a worm curse, so you decide to be a brat about it.]
Ah, I don't know if you saw the photos. A large blue creature we had in hell with us. He was very furry.
Now Essek has to be responsible for this fucking coffee water bottle. WHAT IS HE GOING TO DO WITH THIS STUPID JAR? He should dump it on Childe's head. He'll never go to Childe again if he's cursed by the spirit of the worm.]
[Shaking. Also SHUT UP, he WILL. He has found he quite likes coffee a lot. It keeps up awake enough to focus on being a nerd.]
Do they not like Tama, or were they just interested in causing her some temporary suffering for their own amusement...? You betrayed your own teammate for the sake of a goal...
[It sounds like he knows Childe is Like This and isn't surprised so much as amused.]
[Yeah I bet he lives in the library and the magic lab now too huh... NERD!!! At least that means he's probably easy to find when Childe wants to come bother him.]
Hey, it was nothing personal. Fair's fair! She probably enjoyed being tall for a little while anyway.

Childe, I have a question for you.
no subject
Honestly he's probably in The Cage so Essek might have to wait for him to finish a match, but he waves when he's done and comes on over.]
What is it?
no subject
He looks at Childe with the most serious expression imaginable.]
Would you still love me if I was a worm?
no subject
CHILDE JUST LOOKS AT HIM LIKE ?????]
...What brought this on?
no subject
he just suddenly turns into a worm on the ground. Just like that. FRUMPKIN IS LIKE ??????? but the cat instincts take over, so he gets interested.]
no subject
SCOOPS UP THIS WORM ON INSTINCT]
What am I supposed to do with you like this?!
[Also now that I've found the link Essek can get blasted with the memory of answering this question before. Except he's a worm now I guess.]
no subject
The worm dramatically topples over backward and just lies there with an air of frustrated sorrow about it.
Frumpkin is standing against Childe's leg and stretching a paw up at him. How dare you take worm. Give worm? For playing.]

[STOP WIGGLING.]
Come on, let's find some paint or something so you can at least try to express yourself while you're stuck.
no subject
Vigorously shaking its head.]
no subject
[CARRYING HIM OFF!!!
Except then the public shenanigans happen wow amazing. How silly. Did you know that both me oocly and Childe icly didn't read the worm curse description until Aventurine pulled it up.

Anyway. Hands him a jar of dirt like an asshole.]
Just in case.
no subject
So he does neither for right now.]
That's not funny.
[He's embarrassed.]
no subject
Childe grins at him and dips his fingers in the jar, flicking it playfully at his face--Essek might notice it smells like coffee. Gotcha]
It could've been worse. I cursed Tama to look like Filbo.
no subject
He flinches out of reflex when the grounds are flicked at him, and then glares after when he realizes it's COFFEE. He tries to take the stupid jar from Childe so he doesn't get flicked again.]
Filbo?

Why would you inflict such a thing on Tama?
no subject
ALSO WOW HE BROUGHT SUCH A NICE GIFT? JUST MAKE COFFEE AND DRINK IT YOU WEIRDO]
Oh, it was an agreement. Someone helped me fulfill a mission for the team, and that was the payment they requested.

AS SOMEONE WHO IS EXTREMELY SHORT, HE JUST LOOKS AT CHILDE FLATLY.]
