Apparently today's #aptoapril theme is work...
Usually I do gig jobs, but they said I had to mop until I cleaned up all my...me... B-but cute people keep walking by and making me go all gooey...and then I mop, and then I get gooey...oh no...

#aptoapril
Many boargons, like Mura, don't have wings, and the ones that do, have tiny almost useless ones. And their general size means they don't quite fit into cars. So, how do they get around? Their trotters are quite resilient, and once they get momentum going, they're like a freight train!
*Sweats*
I'm NOT...I haven't eaten anything in ten whole minutes...
Apparently today's #aptoapril theme is 'Commute'.
I sure hope we stop for snacks...

I'm not hungry...
I mean...you can spare the barbarian while I'm out, I'm a pretty good tank I hear, and I swear I'll give him back...
OOOH I'd be a good summon! I love RPGs...
I'd totally listen to you for sure...so long as there's no food or food-adjacent things nearby...so just don't summon me in a tavern....or a house with a kitchen...or a dungeon with goblins (They're delicious)...or near nice smelling party members...
*The gooey guy galumphs forward. After a few steps he develops a thin patina of pollen across his body*
One second...
*He puts his thumb in his mouth and blows*
*BWOMPH*
He looks like the Michelin man for a moment before receding amid a rain of pollen*
*Whickers* Spring is rough.
W-whaaat?...
That never happens...I-I don't know what you mean...
I understand this mood...
*The goo plays a game on a handheld, one of the myriad consoles he tends to store. As he gets into it, his concentration seems to slip.
A freckle on the curve of his haunch judders in a strange way...the silhouette is strange, but seems, familiar.
The goo refirms as he clears the hard section*
I can't help it! My goo is EXTREMELY nutritious...
I'm sorry! I saw those big bags of brownie mix out back and I couldn't help myself I could replace th-
*Pauses*
S-seeded potting soil? I-I thought those were nuts...
*Pop! A posey sprouts out of his nose*
Oh no...
*POPOPOPOPOP, he starts to look like a flower covered llama*
Get the sheers!
How do I make money?
*There's a ringwobble at the left hemisphere of the zecko's haunch He reaches into his hip and pulls out a phone*
Goober! I set it up for rides...but people don't pay me for those anymore. Some nice lab calls me over tho, and people with stuff stuck down drains...
Oh it's reacts similarly in the lungs to liquid oxygen actually! Fun quirk...takes a moment to get used to, but I think it's nice...
*Comes back to see his phone rattling off the table*
O-oh...you guys really wanna help me through a door frame apparently...
That's good...it's still winter and my goo's pretty firm...they should widen those things...
Why do I wear glasses?
Oh, it helps me keep track of where my eyes should be. It's very tempting to just...slide them around if I need to look behind me or something, but usually people start screaming...
(OCC: Since that audio got funded I figured I'd share the generosity and put out a fun scene that's usually behind a paywall? Not to advertise, but if you do want to hear the full audio you can find it on the channel!)
Apparently that recent animation was the first time a few of you had heard my voice!
I've talked lots of times...like right here when you helped me that time I got stuck in your front door...

Big thanks to Cassowary1231 who was the biggest supporter on this!
He gets a hug...a looonng hug...
WOW
You guys really want me to go to the Plaza huh?...
OKAY I'll pack my goo, I'll bring a phone battery...and a phone, of course, rotary style is delicious now that booth style is getting thin on the ground, pre during and post travel snacks...
...
An umbrella?
...
Do you have one big enough?
*Glances over his shoulder*
Are you tired of walking?...I have somewhere you could ride if you want...
...
Hello? You seem distracted...

*Being inside Aibu is interesting, you can breathe, though the 'air' seems thick...it's hard to focus on that when taking the touch into account.
He is literally all around you, not an inch of your skin is exposed to open air. The goo expressively undulates, pushes, squeezes, he feels every twitch*
What's that? You need your phone back?...Well..okay...but don't doomscroll..
*The zecko bends down and his mouth yawns wider...and wider...a wrist-thick tongue lolls over equine lips as a dark, gooey amber chamber rolls ever inward*
Goh eh ahnd geh eth....

I'm sorry I take up the entire couch...still though, you can sit on my lap! I'll keep my tummy warm, and I promise I'll keep my surface tension!
*Gently ushers you atop a gooey thigh wider than your torso. Resting against tummy curve, you see the imprint of a hand press through amber*
Ignore that.
OH BOY almost 80% of the way there and I get to go the plaza...
I hope they have corndogs...and pizza...and donuts...and mochi...and turkey legs...and stop signs...and traffic cones...and street dividers
*Licks lips*
Getting hungry just thinking about it...

*Gasps! Wobbling with excitement*
Almost halfway there! I'm so excited to go the plaza, I haven't had a day out in ages!
...
I hope it doesn't rain...water and I don't get along if there's a lot of it...

Aibu gets on #voresky
*Sees you glued to your phone and the news...*
hmm...
*The zecko grabs the phone gently, lifts it to his equine lips and wraps an enormous tongue around the device, it vanishes in two gooey loops to be sucked in with a rolling noisy swallow*
No more news...I'm still hungry though...
A sleepy, semi-solid zecko is a cuddle hazard. He gently pushes you onto bed, then falls.
Touch overwhelms you, loose, cuddly goo wraps all over, his tummy like a tide pulling you into its affectionate undertow as adoring amber engulfs your body.
His honeytum squeezes, claiming his cuddlebud.
