The Great Woofaloomp Round-up Log

OOC Notes: What are these technicolor Furby things? One might say they are Soraya's comfort animals/anxiety-reduction companions. It doesn't do to have cosmic entities who are swole with Bios and very powerful but also very mentally distracted and anxious, possibly in part due to said Bios. The Woofaloomps are living Bios baubles who siphon off their mistress's/keeper's extra energy and promote general tranquility.

Catching them can have various effects:
🫧 induce feelings of tranquility
✨ magic buff/enhancement
🌀 PC makes up w/ev: they can be as variable as the Hexberries

At present: They are literally just straight up running all over the apartment complex grounds. They are fast and can "glitch" between spaces, which can make them more challenging to catch. And they can also imitate sounds/voices to throw people off track. And they will mess with Otherworlders for Shenanigans, to be assured.

Extra: Note that for additional shenanigans, one can combine this with the berry muffin quest.

The wish element is an optional aspect of this log. PCs do not have to make a wish to participate, but those who received gifts are expected to be GO-GETTERS, so be ready to pack... the Bentley and the wheelbarrow, get them ready to roll and drive these babies home --

[ *Being round chonks is the only trait they share, visually. Some have wings, some have large eyes, and some look like little bugs or bear-like creatures. If people want to come up with attributes for them or different sub-genres, mod gives you the blessing to go wild. And that includes helping me fill out other little word things re: any of the flora/fauna that should interest any of you. ]

As it says!

Emet-Selch | Final Fantasy XIV | open

[emet_sulk]

Despite his scepticism for her ability to grant a wish, Emet-Selch has nothing but time on his hands for the moment. He can be found bent over at various places trying to find the strange, fluffy creatures. If you're lucky(?) you might see him chasing one down as it hop, skips, and glitches out of his reach.

"Come back here, you damned things!" he curses as another slips through his grasp at the last possible moment.

Maybe a subtler approach is called for. A baited trap perhaps?

Gilgamesh | Fate 👑| open

[gilgamess]

On paper, this seemed a rather simple objective: catch these ridiculous creatures and return them to their mistress.

However, like Emet-Selch, Gilgamesh has come to realize that, in practice, it's a bit more challenging than this. The voice imitations were certainly quite jarring, though he was coming to be more aware of what was a Woofaloomp imitating human speech (mainly because they, like parrots, had obvious limitations thereof) enough not to get too off-track by their attempts to confuse him, but the speed -- that was another matter. Even a hero such as himself could not merely chase down creatures with the ability to engage in whatever this short-form teleportation of theirs was.

"It seems we need a suitable counter for this ability if we are to succeed in this endeavor."

And they were certainly going to succeed in this endeavor: the future of Gilgamesh's projects hangs in the balance, and if all that is standing between him and his ambitions are these furballs, then they are going to have to go down. It is Written.

Anyone who approaches will find him in a contemplative state, the Bursterfly fluttering above. Perhaps its technology, coupled with other technology, could play a role... or, well, there were certainly various options to explore, and any who approaches Gilgamesh can propose ideas, but of course he will also be pleased to discuss his own.

[thindarkduke]

Crowley is sorely tempted to change back into a snake and catch the bloody things in his mouth--calm down, it's not like he'd swallow--but he's a bit chary of the idea of licking the sparkly little magic poofs. Especially since, when he does manage to basically trip over one and grab it before it gets away, it makes him so dizzy with a bizarre sense of peace that he sits down very suddenly in the dirt and nearly loses hold of it.

He holds it up in the air and shakes it. "Stop that. I don't need weird magical emotional manipulation. Save that for whatsherface."
