The Ooze ParticipantThe Ooze - Variation 3
12-07-2021, 10:07 PM

Days, weeks passed by since the sunlight had risen again, burning away the remenants of the ooze ailment that had spread across the land. It was as if the sun itself was the cure for all the wolves’ woes, the very sickness that threatened to tear apart packs and relationships and one’s sanity. However, though Laeta had mended from her ailment like the others - ooze no longer trickled endlessly from her eyes, ears, nose and mouth - the elephant in the room was difficult to ignore. Her paralysis.

The woman’s ruby eyes were clear and bright, but her chronic joint pain from being in bed all the time clouded them ever so slightly. Her facial muscles were always a bit tense from the constant throbbing of her hips in particular - the neck injury spared no mercy to her somehow intact sensation of pain - and she wasn’t quite as shy and meek as she was when she first joined. This shift in character would likely be there to stay, though, as Lae had felt herself metamorphisize throughout the mind-crushing spiral of the ooze. The illness had nearly destroyed everything that made her who she was, and now that she had survived, she found herself more confident, and with that, didn’t hold back any punches when it came to what words she carefully selected to speak. Still quiet, but ever a presence despite her inability to move.

Mel had propped her neck with many a pillow, so that she could watch the seaside view from her window. Her thoughts wandered as they usually did, circling her brain like a bored fish in a bowl. And she was just that - absolutely bored. Besides visits from packmates, she could do little except endure the daily pain and suffering of her condition. Utter shit. Finding a streak of cynicism in her newfound morphing personality was unsurprising considering all she had endured. With a sigh, she stared out the window, lost in thought, as her badger companion swept dust from the floor with his little badger-sized broom.
