Floo's Journey - One Nichleing Finding his Purpose

[Applesauce]

After his thinking he says, 'No! you can not be mates!'

Glacier and Rosie are sad.

'Not without a ceremony!' Floo continues.

Glacier and Rosie are happy.

(FLOO, WHY DO YOU BLINK AT THIS MOMENT???) 

[Applesauce]

K lets see if I can survive that new winter's embrace on long dark now.

[Applesauce]

I'm trying to think of what Rosie and Glacier's babies would look like. They could have one that is gray, pure dark red, or one of their fur colors. Also Rosie has recessive peacock tail and which Glacier having hammer tail, there's a good chance of that showing up. Also I think it will either have dots or solid. Pattern color will be interesting. I think they be good parents

The kiddo’s personalities would be intresting 

[Applesauce]

After having discussed with Floo, the pair start getting ready for the ceremony.

Glacier finds some nice seaweed to decorate himself in. 

Since Floo is ordained and will do the preaching part, the crab offers to be Glaciers best man. How thoughtful.

Floo and Rosie decide to have it under the tree that shades part of the bay shore. It's always been a very polite tree.

I NEED TO DRAW THIS

[Applesauce]

Rosie goes to sit under the tree. Here, she will prepare herself for the ceremony. Floo, with his great sense of fashion, recommended using berry juice as a soft of makeup/ceremonial paint. He thinks the dark purple will mix well with her dark red fur.

[Applesauce]

And finally, the day has arrived. Glacier sits at the bottom of the bay, awaiting nervously with his best man. 

'What if she doesn't like the seaweed, and would rather me wear something more land-breather like?' He turns to the crab. 'Do you think she'll like it?'

He stares deep into the crabs orange eyes. They remind him of his childhood, in the waters of the cold, mountainous island where the crabs roamed around on the bottom of the ocean. Thinking back to his home island calms him. 

'Okay, I think I'm alright now. Thanks little guy.' The crab keeps staring back. He remains quiet, but his eyes say your welcome. 

Glacier's so busy thinking about the wedding that he fails to notice the blood sucker.

Here is the sketch I made! All the shaded stuff is seaweed.

Back at the tree, Rosie paces around excitedly. She had given up on finding a mate long ago, and now that it was finally happening, she couldn't contain her happiness. The only problem now was the rain. She had always imagined this day as bright and sunny. 

'Floo, it's raining,' she says. 'Won't Glacier want to wait till another time?'

'No, you guys couldn't have picked a better day.' He says to her, 'Glacier told me once that in his tribe, those nichelings who got married in rain or snow were the happiest couples. It's good luck.'

This makes her feel better.

AAWWW he's so handsome!

[Applesauce]

And then, it begins. Glacier, covered decoratively in seaweed, steps out from the bay and onto the damp, rainy shore. He takes a deep breath and starts walking towards the tree where his best friend and mate-to be await. 

As he approaches, he can see Rosie smiling, quite amazed by his efforts. 

Glacier comes to a stop at Rosie's right. They glance shyly at each other, each blushing redly. Rosie notices the blood sucker attached to Glacier and picks it off affectionately.

[Applesauce]

After seeing the blood sucker, Floo gets a little squeamish. 'Lets start this thing, shall we?' 

[Applesauce]

'Come friends! We are gather here today to celebrate the union of two very important nichelings, Rosie and Glacier.' Floo starts loudly. He wants the whole island to hear this for it is very a very important day for all of them. 'Now Glacier,' He turns to Glacier, 'do you take Rosie to be your mate, through sickness and heath?'

'I do,' he replies.

He turns to Rosie and repeats.

'I do,' she says.

[Applesauce]

'Then, by the power invested in me, and by the state of Blue Bird Bay, I now pronounce you both.... mates. You may kiss... or something.'

And that is that. Glacier and Rosie are married now. After a few coconuts and a small after party, the newly weds go to retire for the night, leaving Floo to be alone. 

[Applesauce]

Floo now sitting alone, thinks to himself. Despite his positive attitude, he thought today would be about him becoming a third wheel, but it was actually about much more.

He hums on berries. It was about his two friends starting a new chapter in life and even if he's not married, he can still be a part of it. He knows they'll have many good times after this, and maybe even some little ones Floo can look after. 

[Applesauce]

I tried getting the speech thingy the people say at a wedding but instead I got some many sketchy "get your ordination license online today!" websites that I decided to go from memory. Also I be lying if I said I wasn't considering it.

Your playthrough is amazing, as usual!

Thank you! Really appreciate it 😊

[Applesauce]

The next morning Floo wake up to the sweat sun shining on his toxic green fur. He nums on some berries.

It's not long until Glacier wanders on by. 'Hello Floo! Nice weather today huh?'

'Yes yes, very lovely.' Floo replies. The weather is fine, but his friend seems to be in a very good mood today. 'Where's Rosie?'

'Oh she went to the river this morning. Wanted to try fishing.' He says.

[Applesauce]

'Also.. can I talk to you?' Glacier says.

'Of course!' Floo says welcomingly, moving over so that Glacier has a place to sit, 'you can always talk to me.'

'Ok.. well... this might come as a shock to you, but now that me and Rosie are married, we were thinking about having a baby.' Glacier speaks nervously. He remembers Floo was a little shook by their decision to get married.

[Applesauce]

At the stream, Rosie tries to catch a fish thats a little to much for her to handle. 

And when she tires to scoop it up with her claw.. no success. 'Darn stinky fish... I hope it's going ok with Floo,' she thinks. 

[Applesauce]

Back at the tree, Floo steps out onto the beach. He'd always wanted a little kid of his own, but he hasn't met the right girl yet, and he's not getting any younger. This could be a perfect opportunity to help raise a little one.

'I think it's a great idea,' He replies. 'I really do.'

Glacier stands next to him. 'You do? That's great!' His faces beams. 'Of course, you'll have a say in the name, and you can baby sit whenever you want.'

'Yeah I'll be like the cool uncle.' Floo day dreams about what a cool uncle he'd be.

[Applesauce]

The two go to sleep happy that night, but as the sun rises next morning, something seems off...

Turns out that not far away is... A ROUGE!
