...Is there a Goose? *Happy Pawlidays* (Closed to Cedric)

[gimmeeyeballs]

The tunnels are overflowing with clay and this miserable little turd is gleefully sliding on it, high pitch laughter erupting along the way. Clearly the Spire is paradise to the heinous little booger as Catrina for once starts thinking. This sure did sound a lot like Wormsmas back home.

It dawned on Catrina like a brick to the head, where are all the worm on the strings and what about the classic, The Goose on the Roof!? Clearly it wouldn't be Wormsmas without these essential decorations! Of course, Catrina stops focusing on where she's sliding to ponder this....oh dear...

"GET THE HELL OUT OF THE WAY!" Catrina screeches after her braincells return from lunch break.

[cedricthegreat]

"Don't worry about the clay," Mightyena said. "It's completely harmless," she said. Harmless or not, Cedric has decided that the worst sensation in the world might be soft clay squishing between his talons. It's so slimy, and slippery, and how is he supposed to concentrate on making the Spire unbearably merry when everywhere on the ground is-?

"Finnigan's fungus!" This is what he caws out as he desperately flaps out of the line of... fire! Literal candles can be Pokémon, apparently! What next, hopping toothbrushes?

Once he untangles the garland he was holding and attempts to retrieve his feathers that fell - nope, not happening, they're stuck to the clay now, sigh - he hangs one end onto a hook and turns to the purple flame that zoomed past him.

"Some of us are trying to deck the hall, you sliding fire hazard!"

[gimmeeyeballs]

Finnigan's fungus? The Hell was that even?! Catrina gave the squawking bird man a perplex look the best a little fire hazard could give. Looks like the bird didn't take Catrina's sage advice about eating some rocks.

"Dude, you still haven't eaten your rock yet?! You're definitely going to be mineral deficient and lose all your feathers!"

A featherless bird would be hilarious to see though now that Catrina was thinking about...wait deck the hall? There was no worm on a string in sight!

"Shit, that ain't deckin' the halls, you need the fuzzy worms of yarn in many colors to be considered festive!" Catrina waved her two little wax arms to gesture at the lack of Wormsmas decor there was in the cave.

[cedricthegreat]

Her question is what makes him register just who this is. Well, no wonder dignity went out the window the moment they collided. He narrows his eyes.

"I get plenty of protein, thank you very much."

Once he realises she's waving, he looks at the green already hung up. "I'm afraid we don't have any yarn. We'll just have to make do with crispy worms of leaves." Surely she doesn't mean actual worms, right? ...Right?

[gimmeeyeballs]

Catrina's face looked like a pug's as she scrunched it up a bit in a molten waxy fashion. This bird doesn't know what Wormsmas is!? Well looks like Catrina is gonna have to teach him the true meaning of Wormsmas!

"Damn, okay I'm dragging your feather duster ass out to make some worms and look for a goose to put on the roof. You can't have Wormsmas without the Goose on the Roof!"

Bigger question, do they even have a knife or booze to offer to the Goose on the Roof to beat up the Woozelworm for them to get more gifts out of?

[cedricthegreat]

His face scrunches up. First at her choice of words, such crude language directed at his tail - which is not a feather duster thank you (it is) - then at her insistence and choice of... other words. Words that make no sense together in the same sentence.

"What in the EverRealm are you talking about, you overgrown birthday candle?"

[gimmeeyeballs]

"...You eat candles on your birthday? Weirdo." Forget the EverRealm, this bird has been eating candles! No wonder he's not doing too hot!

....Oh no, Cedric never experienced Wormsmas before? Catrina is gonna have to fix that one right away! Time to show the candle eating bird how Wormsmas is done as Catrina recruits Cedric.

"Damn dude, come on, I'll show you how to make a worm on a string for decorating and tell yah the story of Wormsmas! Definitely beats eating candles."

[cedricthegreat]

"You don't eat-" No, no, not important, he's not playing that game again.

Nor is he playing this one. He stands firmly in the middle of the hall, wings folded and his head high with indignation.

"I think not. I'm staying right here and donning the walls with exactly what Mightyena provided, thank you."

[gimmeeyeballs]

"...Are you asking to be eaten by the Woozel Worm??? Mightyena clearly got up things to make Wormsmas decor too!"

Catrina felt like she was staring at the feathered version of a certain grumpy green hairball with the concerning ability to shrink or grow his heart at will. Clearly, Catrina will have to kidnap take Cedric on a whimsical field trip in understanding Wormsmas.

"You, You're coming with me to give you a good dose of Wormsmas cheer."

Invitation to yoink this loser in your next tag

[cedricthegreat]

Considering his redemption arc after meeting a tiny, sweet child, that grumpy green hairball may have been a decent comparison to Cedric in the olden days. Not that Catrina will know the difference at this particular moment.

"She didn't make a single utter of your so-called 'Wormsmas', so I sincerely doubt it. And since this is her world, not ours, I'm not going to stand here and assume it's remotely like Wormsmas or Wassailia or-"

Catrina is off to yoink a Bird >:3c

[gimmeeyeballs]

To be fair, Catrina most certainly isn't a sweetheart child by any definition of the words presented here. No, this was the little horrid sewer gremlin that's been thrusted into the grumpy green hairball's way and got surprised adopted.

"Birdie! Where's your holiday spirit!? I'm takin' yah with me then to make some worm on a string, you're part of the found family unit!" Catrina goes to pretty much yoink Cedric with her for the ill advised Wormsmas decorating...this is going to go well...maybe?

[cedricthegreat]

Cedric lets out a most undignified yelp as a literal candle tugs him with surprising strength in the direction of... somewhere. He hasn't a clue where she's going, but wherever it is, he's positive he won't like it.

Will he ask? No. Instead, he's going to be pedantic. "I already have a family, you insistent illuminant, and unless we're going fishing I have no interest in putting any sort of worm on a string!"

Really, not even fishing sounds appealing in this company, but he'd take it over the adornment of what's rapidly sounding to him like actual live worms.

[gimmeeyeballs]

"Well so do I, but my family ain't here! So we gotta band together as a family unit." Catrina just has that 'don't give a damn' vibe going on and pretty strong as she continues dragging Cedric along.

It's comical in nature for anyone watching, a horrid tiny candle creature dragging along a full sized crow for decorating....Catrina is perfectly okay with this!

Oh joy the end of the tunnel is nigh! Looks like Catrina is taking Cedric out to barter for materials...Catrina...please let the former wizard go...Cat..

[cedricthegreat]

Not like that is Cedric's immediate thought, but of course she isn't going to listen so he just groans as her weird waxy hand continues to pull him.

Once he sees they're almost out, he finally chirps up again. "And where do you plan to find this 'worm' on a string, in this bitter cold weather?"

[gimmeeyeballs]

"Silly Birdie, why at the market of course! We're going to town for some Wormsmas supplies!" Catrina's weird little waxy limbs are proving to be a blessing somehow as she continues to take Cedric along for the 'family' decorating.

How she plans on getting the supplies, well....Catrina don't you think about it..DON'T YOU THINK ABOUT IT
