#WordWeavers February 1
*blinks hectically with all twelve eyes*
"An introduction? Me? But I am only the nurse."
*rubs with one tentactle over their head and turns slightly more lilac*
"Ubbuluh... I'm Blaas Oounda, and as I said I am the nurse of the #HeraldPetrel. I also have to fill in for the doctor because she... Sorry, I can't reveal medical data to you. I am from Blunkaria, and I am a Blunkarian, this is how the most prominent sentient species on my homeworld is called."
*lets ten eyes wander back to their patients and only keeps looking at you with two*
"Being a nurse is a very traditional career path for people like me. We are good at jobs that require much attention to detail and being observant. Because of our two heads we can do a lot of things at the same time. I know that a lot of humanoid species are confused how our six extremities work and they call them 'tentacles' because they don't have a different concept for them. But we can do everything with them where humanoids would have to use their hands or feet."
*wiggles all six tentacles with confusingly many fingelike smaller tentacles*
"As I said. Humanoids are not really comfortable with us but they like that we work for them. They are very strange, humanoids. They seem to be so limited. I have no idea--" stops as if they already said too much. "I am sorry, I have to care for my patients now."
*wanders off quickly, using four tentactles as feet*
The Blind Fraggle @strangeseawolf This sounds interesting!
@Fragglemuppet Oh, yes, I love them very much. In the first book they only had a small supporting role (although not by all means an unimportant one!) which will probably stay the same in the second book. But I do intend to give them more screen time later. They definitely deserve it!
@strangeseawolf Is there any way I can read it?
@Fragglemuppet There is, you will find the first book in all bookstores. Here is a link that lists them all:
https://books2read.com/HeraldPetrel
Or if you tell me where you usually order from I can give you the direct link to it.
@strangeseawolf Hmmm, I like Audible, but now I think of it that's a whole other issue.
@Fragglemuppet Ah, yeah, I get it. I mean, there are e-readers that read out loud but I know that a lot of people don't like the voices. The good news is I am working on an audiobook for the first book right now with a voice actress I know but it will take some time until it is out. We are just on chapter 3 for now. It is a long process.
@strangeseawolf Still though, it sounds cool and thanks for doing that! I know it's dificult and expensive.
CET @strangeseawolf@mindly.social@Fragglemuppet Yeah, it is kind of a passion project because I want people being able to enjoy it who have difficulties with processing written words for whatever reason. But, yeah, expensive, only possible because my friend is working for much less than it is worth and me accepting that I will never make enough from it to cover the cost. But that's okay.
