Oggle Gush was sixteen years old and one of three young women comprising the entourage of performer Nifty Gum. She was always smiling even when inappropriate and maintained her innocent nature due to her blissful imperviousness to immorality. Fatal accidents seemed to follow in her wake though she was not responsible for them. Poet Avas Didion Flicker thought her a talentless singer whose performances were adored and forgiven by the public the way a parent loves the performance of a child.[1]
Nifty Gum had only recently had six hundred and fifty-four followers until Oggle's misguided act of housecleaning sank the transport barge they traveled on.[2]
In Crack'd Pot Trail[]
Oggle accompanied Nifty, Sellup, and Pampera on the Cracked Pot Trail in order to attend The Century's Greatest Artist competition in Farrog. When the caravan ran out of food, the other well armed travelers decided their "useless" artistic companions would be more useful as meals. Every night Nifty and the others would perform in competition for the right to live another day.[3] After Sellup's death, Nifty, Oggle, and Pampera went off on their own. The starving Nifty and Pampera soon set upon Oggle, strangling her, and feeding off her body even as she was not completely dead.[4]
Quotes[]
- Oggle Gush: "This is stupid. You can't have quests without mountain passes and dangerous rivers to cross, and ogres and demons and wolves and bats. And there's supposed to be friends of the hero who go along and fight and stuff, and get into trouble so the hero has to save them. Everyone knows that."
- Apto Canavalian: "Oggle Gush, kindly shut that useless hole in your face."
- ―Oggle Gush and Apto Canavalian[src]
