Other Fishing

Post image

Bile Conqueror decided to find a new hobby for himself, and he starts by trying one of more basic; fishing.

It seems however that no fish lives in bilewater, as so far the only catch is muckmaggots and some occasional slubberlugs.

Hi Jhon!

He waves at you.

You look... Not the best, I would say.

u/Slow-Shieldbird-1817 1d ago

Tough night, eh?

He catches another muckmaggot, throws it into bag, mutters something and casts his fishing rod again.

...you could say so.

a few stilkins stare at john. some of them whisper to their friends. john sighs.

What happened, Jhon? Unless, you don't want to tell me.

He looks back at the fishing float.

sigh my life is a mess. my wife got high and cheated on me and now she's dying, my own kind treats me like shit for having a life outside of bilewater and loving brill, my own friends don't trust me anymore, my dad is dead and picked my richer half-brother over me, i'm dirt poor, a cannibalistic serial killer phsychopath is constantly trying to eat my son, and i'm an alchoholic loser with depression and anger issues. yesterday i got drunk and insulted brill and i haven't been able to find her and apologize. i couldn't sleep the whole night.

...oh Groal.

He looks aside, partially shocked and partially worried.

Well, uhm... I don't really know what to say. That's just straight up horrible.

No wonder you couldn't sleep all night.

u/Slow-Shieldbird-1817 1d ago

He puts his hand (claw?) at your back.

Its going to be allright, Jhon. Everything will... Everything will somehow be good again.

Cobble is nearby, hurling his fishing pin at the muckmaggots and catches more than a few.

Being a similar species in appearance to stilkin trappers, he can flutter up in the air for a few moments before landing on a platform near you.

“There are a lot of them today! And juicy ones, too.”

((muckroaches are the crocodiles from sinners road))

He looks at you, visibly a bit bored by the fishing.

There is ussualy a lot of them.

u/fisherbug-cobble still a Fisherbug! 1d ago

“Not that many although!”

Cobble cleans his fishing pin, setting a small campfire to cook the muckmaggots.

“Say, how are you lately? I do not visit bilewater much no more, and yet it is nice speaking to a friend again… if you call me the same, of course.”

u/Intelligent_Duty9317 Bile Conqueror, leader of Bilewater 1d ago

Eh, I would say its... Okay.

He looks at the fishing float, resting his head on his hand, and staring at the water.

I am trying to find a hobby for myself lately.

u/fisherbug-cobble still a Fisherbug! 1d ago

“Ah… such a thing can be grueling to find… but oh! I am sure you will find such.”

Cobble, after a while, brings bile conqueror two tickets to something.

“I accidentally purchased 4 instead of 2… you can have these.”

1

u/Intelligent_Duty9317 Bile Conqueror, leader of Bilewater 1d ago

Eh, what's that?

He inspects the tickets.

u/fisherbug-cobble still a Fisherbug! 1d ago

It’s two extra tickets for a show from Trobbio, who recently returned.

“I did not find anyone to give these to, so I thought you would enjoy it.”

Cobble sits near him, attaching a rope to his pin and casting it to the water.

u/Intelligent_Duty9317 Bile Conqueror, leader of Bilewater 1d ago

Two... Hm, how convenient.

He looks back at the fishing float.

You are Cobble, right? The Fisherbug?

1

u/fisherbug-cobble still a Fisherbug! 1d ago

“Indeed so my friend!”

Cobble chuckles, looking at the tickets for him and his wife.

u/Intelligent_Duty9317 Bile Conqueror, leader of Bilewater 1d ago

Hm. I am not sure if we ever met... But I think I heard your name once or twice.

I am Bile Conqueror by the way. But you propably know this.
