Bugwatcher was humming to itself as it sorted the herbs in the medicine den. Citrusmelody and Sheepcloud were out and about. Bugwatcher didn’t consider it important to know where they were. It wasn’t any of faers business. The tune Bug hummed was one it had made. It was the same from beginning to end, and easily restarted. The same beat stayed repetitively consistent all throughout. 1-2-1-2-3-1-2-1-2-3. The addition of ‘3’ was purely perfunctory, to make it seem like a proper song. Bug did not hum because it wanted to make sound, or because xey have any affection for music. Bug hummed to fill the space that life was meant to fill. And fae did enjoy the challenge. Don’t lose tempo, don’t lose focus, stay consistent even when multitasking. Bearberries. 1-2-1-2-3-1-2-1-2-3 Bugwatcher’s mind drifted as xeir paws and vocal cords ran on autopilot. The argument between itself and Cloudspire came back to xem. Clo had been angry, or would hurt be more accurate? Caribou moss. 1-2-1-2-3-1-2-1-2-3 It was ultimately Bug’s fault. And that’s what ailed faer. Bug thought it was unfair, that intent was assumed behind actions that had none. Except, Bugwatcher /doesn’t/ do things on accident. A logical fallacy. Diamond leaf willow. 1-2-1-2-3-1-2-1-2-3 It was.. undeniably Bug’s fault. Intention is irrelevant. Xeir thoughts on the matter is irrelevant. Fixing this is more important. It was an unfortunate distraction, but, if it’d do good for Bug’s relationships, it was worthwhile. Bug had neglected the sensitivities of social interaction for too long. Chickweed 1-2-1-2-3-1-2-1-2-3 One ongoing experiment was no longer enough. Bug needs something more now, Bug needs to search out the opportunities, the chances to test social prowess. But Bug can multitask. Speaking of. Time to reset the board. Dwarf fireweed. 1-2-1-2-3-1-2-1-2-3 Bugwatcher wants results. Bug’s… enjoyed this experiment. A part of Bug wouldn’t mind continuing forever. But that isn’t a helpful thought. Bug needs more experience… but Bugwatcher’s own knowledge has run its course. Peer review. That’s what Bug really needs. If Bug can’t figure out the correct answer, surely the opinions of many can! It’s a simple idea, just ask others to figure out what best fits Bug. Listen to their feedback, tally what gets chosen, sort the answers. It fits the requirements for social interaction as well. …. …. Bugwatcher accidentally squashed a berry. The blue juice stains Bug’s paw. Ah. Note to self: multitasking doesn’t work as well if you get too deep into your own head. Bug carefully scooped the rest of the berries up, and tucked them safely away. Once Bug’s done with this, they can go start his project.
I’ve had this srp almost done for a while. I do think it’s pretty shoddy, but it needed to get thrown out there. Anyways Bug is going by any/all pronouns now! And Bug is also going to try and be more openly social. Anyways that’s all. Bugwatcher!!! Bug! My Bug!
