Allo, allo Riverview!

I'm MonkeysInPants, available on Plurk as MonkeysInPants. Truly a woman of many names. I bring you Wikus van der Merwe from the movie District 9! He's your average white-collar office worker employed by an ethically dubious corporation, who accidentally finds himself transforming into an alien. Tough break.

So, warning-wise, Wikus's life is kind of one big forced-transformation body-horror show right now. If you don't do good with that sort of stuff, just let me know by PM and I'll steer clear of your characters or keep the descriptions light!

For the moment he's a jobless bum busy feeling sorry for himself and living out of the Floor 8 communal housing.

I'm looking forward to bouncing this train wreck off of people!

WIKUS!!! OMG!!! *kermitflail* I love that movie!!! Welcome to the game and I can't wait to run into him (and you!)

[onthehalfshell]

Yaaas, District 9 fan! :D

Scott and Wikus. Two very different sorts of buggy men! Sounds like fun to me!

[genice]

oh no Wikus i'm laughing, is he transforming this whole time or what's his arc... going to be...

Nice to meet you MonkeysInPants, I'm kc, here this round with victor from yuri!!! on ice: he's a russian figure skater competing at an international level

this reminds me i'd been wanting to watch D9 again, chinhands

[onthehalfshell]

He is 100% mid-transformation starting out, pulled straight from after Koobus gets murdered by Prawns.

And if I have my way, he's going to be dealing with various attempts of cures that have him bouncing along the scale of human to alien. Because his life is suffering.

Nice to meet you too, kc! I have a friend that adores YOI, but I haven't watched it myself yet. It sounds pretty fun!

Tents fingers, that's so good...

Laughs, honestly, it makes sense, and at least here no one should in theory be trying to kill and/or use him as a living test subject. Probably? Maybe?

HHAHA it's a wholesome sort of series with a lot of love in it (both put into it by those who worked on it and within the series itself), definitely a sport and character piece. I love it (.......... obviously) and recommend it when people are up for something heartwarming in the end!

Wikus will be so mad if people try to kill him for science again.

I laughed when I was looking at games for Wikus and Riverview was like "people who feel out of place/like they don't belong even for a moment". He has maybe felt like that. Just a little bit. A tad.

I find that sports animes are often better than they have any right to be. Cough Eyeshield21 cough. I'll have to check it out when I have binging time!

[genice]

laughs, yeah, somehow it seems like he'd be a great fit for when feeling wildly out of place everywhere he turns. ah, his life... his unfortunate life

LAUGHS YEAH it's far more realistic than E21 so its zaniness is more usual world levels, but still amusingly over the top with a lot of good character exploration. Definitely about someone dealing with their anxiety and how that's not all an easy or exact science, wee

[onthehalfshell]

His unfortunate, unfortunate life. :,)

Aww, sounds nice! :D

(I have an OTA prompt up on the event log if you want your skater to bump into this garbage man)

[genice]

Yesss I'm going to hit your OTA open up tomorrow when I'm doing tagbacks (I've hit the wall on tired tonight and am crashing soon, ah) and we'll get this CR ball rolling! \o/

[onthehalfshell]

Om gosh, yes, crashing comes first! XD

Woowoo! \o/

HEY! I think we played together before, were you in Trial 23 briefly before it closed? But hello either way, welcome to the game, I'm Fossil and I play MCU Bucky.

[onthehalfshell]

I was! Poor Trial, it was over too soon. ):

Nice to see you around!
