Dec. 21st, 2019 01:04 amA - A legless inevitably
[After having a heart transplant go wrong in his youth and ending up here, Grimm took the following transformations to his form with as much grace as one could. Certainly having his mask fuse to his face and the rot that soon followed was not an experience he wanted to repeat. Made for interesting acts in the shows he sometimes preformed in the quarantine but was otherwise unpleasant.
Regardless he did his best with the following changes that put him close to a strange bug-like creature. But the push for his (hopefully) final transformation quite literally causes him to lose his footing.
Those who come across Grimm will still find him on the ground, although he has propped his head up with a hand. He looks mildly annoyed.]
I apologize if I am in the way. It seems I am being given one other transformation.
[Which is a fancy way of saying his skin is peeling off his legs in chunks and has been for the past hour, much like how a bug would molt. It doesn't hurt but what's being left behind are two long limbs that end in nubs.
He's going to miss his toes.]
B - Come one, come all
[During his time in the quarantine Grimm has created a small Troupe of like-minded performers who occasionally threw nighttime shows simply for the sake of entertainment. Since it wasn't much of a disruption they were allowed (and Grimm argued he wouldn't have to find his own entertainment, which meant one less thing the guards had to deal with).
It seems the Troupe are gearing up for another performance tonight. Many can be found practicing outside while Grimm supervises. Eventually he'll have to practice his own routines but they have a few new members and Grimm wishes to keep an eye on them.]

Date: 2019-12-21 09:57 pm (UTC)Sh-should I call for a doctor? Or a wheelchair?
[He doesn't think he could actually carry Grimm, he wasn't very muscular even when he had muscles.]

Date: 2019-12-22 05:24 am (UTC)[Perhaps it's because his mutation sees fit to turn him into some sort of strange bug, but it feels more an inconvenience in the way it might be to a bug when they molt.
Although it occurs to Grimm it means he'll have to re-learn all of his routines. Urg.]
Although if it is no trouble, I would not say no to a wheelchair. I am in the way and it seems my new legs are not co-operating with me.

But Gershom hurries to the clinic to get one of the two or three wheelchairs that they have ready, then pushes it back over to where Grimm is slowly losing body parts.]

Date: 2019-12-22 05:48 am (UTC)By the time the undead gets back, the skin has finally completely peeled off his legs, leaving behind his new bloody legs. They are going to be a pain to balance on.]
Thank you. [It'll help until the limbs stop feeling tender.] Can you give me your hand? I'll try not to lean too much.
[He feels heavier then usual and doesn't want to put it all on Gershom.]

Date: 2019-12-22 05:50 am (UTC)He's not very strong - wasn't even when he technically had muscles to speak of - but just helping Grimm get off the ground should be doable.]

Date: 2019-12-22 06:06 pm (UTC)But eventually he's in the wheelchair and Grimm takes a deep breath.]
Thank you, my friend. This was quite the inconvenience for us both.

I'm just glad you weren't stuck there.

Date: 2019-12-24 07:57 pm (UTC)[Not that he is going to say his pain was more then what Gershom may have experienced with his own transformation. From a few in his own Troupe, the processes undead went through were not pleasant.]
That is true. I am many things but I do not wish to be a lawn ornament. But enough of my new lack of toes. Have you been well?

Date: 2019-12-24 11:58 pm (UTC)I'm alright. Miriam just had kittens the other day, all of them adorable.
[Updates on the cats in his life counts as an update on his life, right?]
no subject
Date: 2019-12-26 06:27 pm (UTC)Wonderful! Truly delightful to see life being born. I would love to see them when everything has settled down.
[Getting between a mother and her newly born children probably wasn't a good idea.]
no subject
Date: 2019-12-26 07:52 pm (UTC)I'll call you over right away, once they're ready for visitors.
[Even if he has to push Grimm there himself, he'll make sure Grimm gets to see the kittens.]

Date: 2019-12-28 04:19 pm (UTC)[He's joking...maybe. It's Grimm so it's hard to tell.]
no subject
Date: 2019-12-28 04:25 pm (UTC)[It might be a joke! Maybe the liking Gershom's company is a joke?
What the fuck is a self-esteem.]

Date: 2019-12-28 04:43 pm (UTC)Everyone is interesting, my friend. Including yourself. I quite enjoy your company, you know.
no subject
Date: 2019-12-28 04:47 pm (UTC)...thank you. You're always welcome in my home.

Date: 2019-12-28 11:57 pm (UTC)[And have him up on stage but Grimm knows not to push that, as much as he thinks it would be nice.]
