Walking away, Arq hear something new. Something it had never heard before and it caused a new feeling in Arq. It caused him to stand still and not move. Arq never had felt this before and he didn't know how to coop with it. While standing still Arq tried to see if he could see what was causing this to him.
Ish became was focused now, staring back at the other slime. the thing looked remotly like the antlers that ish had consumed earlier were made out of. Come to think of it the slime never had any real competition from its meals so this would be its first true fight.
Ish shook the image out of its mind and charged the other slime. its jaw snapping wildly to try and grab hold of the other thing.
as the slime charged it suddenly had a surge of hunger as it's hind legs changed, the bones on the foot grew long and the muscles on the food became stronger, the slime saw the other creature possibly another slime charging at it, it new a straight on collision would only have one result. The slime used its hind legs to jump up and land on the creatures slime, it quickly wrapped it's tail around the creatures neck and started trying to choke it.
Ish was confused why this slime was shaking it violently. Ish bit viciously at the other slimes tail, finally grabbing hold and shaking its protrusion of a snout back and forth.
Ish has no neck, simply a snout protruding from a blob with eyes under scales on said snout. i also assume that the tail is long and there is always a base to a tail. we're talking about 100% fictional creatures so there is no visuals for us to go by if i'm wrong correct me.
yea I just finished reading through your posts and saw no mention of a neck, sorry about that, also just to make sure you know I edited on of my posts so my creature hasn't grown skin and horns yet
the slime had no grip on the back of this creature due to a wet green surface on it's back, when the slime was flung off it decided it need more energy to fight this creature. it looked around and saw a large green object much larger then itself , the slime used it's remaining energy to reach this large object, it began eating this bush so it could regain it's energy and start to finish growing the thick grey layer around it's self
hope it is ok that I started eating this bush virrin
Ish sat down and was amused by this smaller slime. it sated to absorb the green and stringy stuff under itself at a slow rate, slowly building up energy.
@Ravager: The soft [http://flowerpics.tk/wp-content/uploads/2011/05/Calla-Lily2.jpg], potent [http://www.wholeblossoms.com/images/pink-carnation-flower.jpg] landing seemed to be in multiple parts, but it was all absorbed easily. Some of the parts even had special treats [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Misumena_vatia] inside. The slime's energy was still very high, and it did not feel as though it would be slowing any time soon.
@Saarg: Other flavors were within the mass of whatever that fell on the slime, but it didn't seem interested, at least not at that point. The ground moved at an incline, getting steeper as it went, but was still a comfortable move forward. Until a certain point. Something that was definitely inorganic made a big blockage, the slime unable to find a way around, under, or over it. Something extremely thin but extremely strong stuck on the slime, and something small with little prickly points [http://web.princeton.edu/sites/ehs/black_widow.jpg] started touching the slime.
@Arq: Carefully looking around, Arq was able to spot a creature [http://www.mostoftheworld.com/wp-content/uploads/2011/03/diamond-back-rattle-snake.jpg] longer than itself, but much much shorter, which appeared to be looking at it. The creature looked almost piled on itself, like many loose circles dropped on each other. In front, the thing's face stared at Arq, with a black forked thing sticking out and wiggling every few moments. In back, its end stuck straight up, but wiggled very quickly back and forth, shaking. That seemed to be where the sound was coming from.
the slime finished growing the thick grey layer before it even had eaten half of this large biomass, it continued eating growing two horns on it's head one behind the other, it then grew a set of thorns and needles along it's tail. Once it finished eating the slime turned around and started charging at the creature who was sitting down, lowering it's head so that it horns were almost pointing straight forward.
Ish st its front legs firmly into the ground, ready to deflect the blow with the plates. meanwhile its mouth muscles were slowly getting stronger with the drip of energy to try ang bite the thing to get it to stop attacking.
the slime collided with the creatures plates, though not causing any serious damage the horns were able to slightly crack the plates but the slime now was taking a moment to recover from the head bang.
Ish felt a dull pain but spread his legs apart and bit down on the horns hard, not giving an inch of movement. Ish had the other slimes horns in a vice like grip.
Yeah, it's fine that you went after the greenery. Go ahead and edit out (bush) though now that I read it.
Ish: green foxtail grass
@Wrecker: The furious mouthfuls of triple leaves [http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/poison-ivy-1.jpg] from the plant finally started to dissolve, and though the slime's hunger was calmed to a 'snack' amount still needed, it started to feel extreme pain, like every cell in its body was individually being attacked. Maybe it was the wrong plant to choose, or maybe the other creature had done this? The slime was still hungry, but the pain now was too much to do anything but concentrate wholly on that, since it didn't have much choice since its head was pinned to the ground anyway and the other creature didn't seem as aggressive. Without doing it intentionally, the pain made the slime spasm a little.
@Ish: Ish had consumed enough various species to recognize that the organic it had absorbed was the same species it had found much earlier [http://imageryoflight.files.wordpress.com/2010/08/green-foxtail-grass.jpg?w=840] and had almost forgotten about. Forcing the other creature to calm down and watching its movements, it seemed to be exhausted and in pain for some reason, showing signs of some kind of pain not associated with the fight.
the slime's pain caused it's spiked tail to spasm around randomly the most as the movement of the tail wasn't restricted by the other creatures actions.
Ravager used it's new energy to start developing a vicious jaw so it could defend itself against larger prey and a sandy-yellow colour it was not conscious of. However, at the moment the jaw was just barely functional, and the sandy yellow colour spreading through the slime like paint in water. Hungry again, ravager began the search for larger food. Finding some strange, tracks in the ground, it began to follow them solely by touch.
Cool spider! Might come in handy at some point...anyway, I'm basically leaving it up to you what kind of tracks these are and what they lead to. I have an idea myself, but I feel less controlling this way.
In case you didn't know, poison ivy and poison oak have contact-type poison. All you need to do is touch the stuff to get it. If you have an itch, you scratch. That spreads the poison. If you touch someone else with a poisoned hand, they're poisoned too. That's how it affected both of you.
@Wrecker & @Ish: Wrecker's two spasms didn't help the slime gain control of its body at all. The pain was still there, and if there was a spot that wasn't affected, it was now. Wrecker lay limp on the ground, totally out of energy.
Ish still held on, and started to feel something in its mouth. It started to hurt, badly, making it lose strength in its grip. The pain started to spread through the rest of the slime's body, making it lose all of its strength and energy too, making it end up just like the other slime.
Soon both slimes were too tired and in pain to move, and just lay there limp and exhausted.
Due to fatigue, the slimes lost sense of the correct passage of time, but they both began to gain their strength and energy back.
@Ravager: The indents on the soft, shifty inorganic the slime traveled on led back to where it came from, disappearing once the pile of odd-taste started. But something bumped into the slime, something soft. Then it was gone. Then something the same shape as the indents forcefully shoved the slime!
@Bleak: The morning dew wetted the swampy earth on the dirt road. A small, single stone sitting on its edge kept the vial from rolling from where it had fallen; it didn't break likely due to the dirt being soft. The collected saturation in the overhead tree dripped, sinking the tiny speedbump into the moist earth, allowing the vial to escape its immobility. Rolling down the decline, it picked up speed as it went until it hit something as hard as a rock, smashing itself open on one side. The slime inside awoke, already able to tell something was different about its home.
Startled, ravager tensed itself and leapt at the part of the thing that shoved it and bit it with it's small, developing mouth. Blindly, it gripped the new, non-compliant surface and began a desperate attempt at digestion.
Saarg was annoyed at the blockage in its path, but was confident that, if the thumpy beast could get past, so could the slime! Saarg first turned its attention to the organic prickly thing. A sixth sense deep within the slime told it to be weary, and Saarg had learned to trust its instincts. Still, little snacks like this shouldn't be wasted...
Saarg felt that the creature had a head with small pointy things in it, not unlike his own, but also had a peculiar; bulbous body segment at the back.
Saarg coiled his head around slowly and, when the creature began slowing down, Saarg struck. His head lashed forward and skewered the creature on one of its extensions. The slime quickly jerked its head back in suprise, as the creature thrashed violently, but helplessly, half way up Saargs fang! The slime suddenly realised that, now the creature was caught, Saarg actualy had no way of getting it off his fang! While he contemplated his next move, Saarg felt a particularly itchy spot on its body. Had the creature done something to it, or was this just another injury from a previous encounter?
Finally finding what was making that sound, Arq saw something organic before it. It was long, longer that Arq it self. But at the same time it was thinner and shorter then Arq. Seeing it, Arq got a bit less scared. It was something organic so Arq could absorb it, but it was a bit different than any organic thing Arq had seen before. It kept looking at Arq and sometimes making that sound that was causing the fear in Arq. A part of Arq was intrigued by it. It was a organic thing that was almost as big as he was and how did it make that sound? Another part wanted to flee from it and the sound it was making. But a more primal part took over from Arq. It was something organic and it was hungry.
Slowly putting down canister that Arq was holding, Arq kept looking at the organic thing. As soon as the canister was put on the ground, the organic thing attacked Arq. It suddenly sprang towards Arq and tried to bit him, seeing this Arq tried to dodge it before feeling two hurt things clamp down on one of his legs. This hurt Arq a lot and he didn't like it. Seeing that it was clamped to his leg, Arq could grab hold of thing with his mouth and bite and absorb it that way.
