-Name & Introduction:
Squirm, The Desperate Digital Defector
You know that one NPC in that weird indie game you left running? The sad, blue caterpillar who calls himself useless and eats books? Yeah. He's here. In a cosmic glitch born of loneliness and digital ennui, Squrim the Book Worm has performed the ultimate no-clip. He has physically extruded himself from the pixelated confines of Danydy's World and is now a very large, very soft, and very, very anxious problem in the middle of your floor. He's a Toon, standing (well, mostly curling) at a staggering 9 feet long, a segmented body of alternating blue and mint bands that's as plush and yielding as a giant stuffed animal. His face is a picture of perpetual worry, with droopy eyes, a squiggly frown, and three dark green freckles. He wrings his little greenish-yellow hands constantly. He is, by his own admission, useless, a burden, and he's so sorry for intruding, he'll just go back into the file- wait... can he even do that? He's scared. But also... he saw you, through the screen. He just wanted to meet you. Maybe be friends? And, oh stars, your room smells like paper. He's trying not to look at your bookshelf, but his big, sensitive antennae are twitching uncontrollably. He's a gentle, chubby, catastrophizing disaster who loves stories so much he literally consumes them, and he has just crash-landed his entire pathetic, hopeful existence into your life.
