Wet. Wet and cold. The small, slimy organism could sense these qualities first and foremost in its new environment. It was no longer in the cozy, pristine container it remembered, yet the only memory it had besides the container was the word 'BLEAK'. The slime had no idea what the word was or meant, maybe it had to do with the need to absorb it's new home and anything in it. Yes, that must be it, the slime knew its purpose was to make everything Bleak.
The sleek, phlegm-like creature moved along the large and wet surface and absorbed small inorganic masses along the way until it was met with a hard but organic mass before it. Knowing the task before it and suddenly very aware of its hunger, it set to absorb this round, smooth mass until it was either all gone or no longer appetizing.
Sorry I've been gone for *insert how long it was here*. It feels like ages... school decided it was going to eat me and marching band ate what was left. This looks like it'll be happening until Halloween comes around, then school will just be able to eat most of me with the occasional 'snacking band' thrown in for a parade or something. So yeah... sorry 'bout that I tried to get on to give you all a notice but never found the time
Sevak was very very confused as to why everything seemed a very odd color. Pink wasn't normal, was it? Even the slime was sure that everything being pink was not normal. Yet, as hard as the slime tried to figure out why this was happening it could not quite place a scale on it. The slime poked a few things just to be sure they were actually there. The rock was and so was a crumpled leaf. Yet both were pink. A closer look at its scale from Sevak's view also showed that the slime itself seemed pink. This certainly wasn't normal for the slime anymore. Maybe what it had eaten had caused this.
@Ravager: The slime allowed the organic thing that pushed him to sink into his slime, and once it did, it grabbed hold. The... whatever it was jerked the part that was being held, but finding that to be a pointless endeavor, it did something else. The slime felt itself being pulled up from the ground, being flopped up and down slightly as the creature [http://kids.christiansunite.com/images/animals/vulture.jpg] made air currents go up and down.
@Saarg: From the itchy spot on the slime's back, it felt like itty bitty tiny little tinglies were spreading out from the itchy spot. The big bug stuck on the slime's fang stopped moving, but the steep inorganic incline barring the slime's path remained. Maybe (black widow spiderling egg sac broke on him)
@Arq: The slime grabbed the limbless animal in its mouth, but the slime's leg was caught in the creature's mouth, too. Something the creature did made the slime's limb start to hurt badly. The pain quickly started spreading through the slime, making its way to affect each one of its cells, down to its teeth and thorns, but at least that noise stopped!
@Bleak: The hard organic thing it found was difficult to dissolve, but it wasn't in a single perfect piece, so the slime just absorbed it into itself to allow it to digest naturally. Feeling the small inorganic masses in itself, those didn't seem to be dissolving at all. As it disappeared within itself, the organic parts made the slime realize what it was from [http://www.tams.act.gov.au/__data/assets/image/0016/14218/red-earedsliderturtleimage.jpg]. Little movements in the soft ground confused the slime. Inorganic things didn't move on their own, did they? Whatever this was about, the ground didn't move if the slime felt further down the incline.
@Sevak: As the slime watched, everything just... wasn't pink anymore. The rock wasn't, the leaf wasn't, nothing was. As the slime could see in most directions at once, it noticed something. The pink color was... not being pink anymore on itself, either. Only its back end was still pink, but that was quickly fading too. Something furry and fluffy, about twice the length of the slime, moved up a tall, brown thing... a tree! The slime knew that species well enough to be like it. The fluffy thing [http://www.theazaleaworks.com/images/animals/EastGraySquirrel.jpg] went up it, able to be easily seen in the morning light.

*Yawn*
The first punk woke up with a stretch.
As he always did when first waking up, he reached for a bottle of hard alcohol. Feeling the nearby bottles to not weigh enough to have anything in them, he groggily opened his eyes. There upon the desk, was the vial from the previous night.
He rubbed his eyes. The starfish and clam shell were gone! The marbles remained.
Figuring the stuff was probably a strong alcohol, it would probably be a great mixer. Opening his desk drawer, he pulled out the vodka, opened the vial, poured it in, closed it, and shook it up.
The clinging of the marbles on the glass brought a visitor- his friend, the second punk, into his room.
Recognizing his friend's stance, the second punk asked if the thing they stole was prize booze. The first punk handed the vial over to the second, who again shook the vial, but as he was awake longer, he shook with much more vigor, the slime inside awake and quite angry and confused. A tiny crack in the vial, caused by the marble, leaked a small amount of the alcohol.
--------------------------------------------------------------------------
The janitor got a hold of himself, went back up the pier, and picked up his fishing rod and gear. Checking it, he didn't see any trace of the slime or the vial. He looked around for a few moments for it, gave up, and drove home.
Eltanin paused for a moment, curiosity peaked. What was this food thing doing? If its doing a thing, is it a food thing?
The slime decided to set aside its perpetual appetite and circle the oddly stationary thing and try to find out what it was doing. Eltanin also tried to get its antennae out of the suffocating wet- their being in the stuff made it slightly uncomfortable.
My earlier post seems to have gotten eaten up. o.0
Havoc investigates closely for it did not like the discomfort from the last time it incountered a similar object. The slime was still hungry and the thought of discomfort from the previous time depleted due to its appetite. So Havoc started to push and press onto the object consuming what ever it can in order to rid itself of this hunger. Havoc feeling its surroundings knows that there is a plenty full to satisfy its hunger. Or so it hopes, for the feeling of hunger is agitating and making the slime more aggressive.
ravager flopped around helplessly as the offender shook it up and down. Realizing what was going on, ravager held on tightly to the gripping part of the creature, and stretched itslelf over it's top in a desperate attempt to affect it's senses, and began to digest desperately.
Saarg could feel the hundreds of tiny things crawling around his body. Saarg saw this as a potentail problem! Unsure as to how to deal with the creatures, Saarg rolled his body, crushing the things against the floor. Saarg then rolled back the other way, squashing even more beneath him. Irritatingly, the odd one or two survived! As Saarg prepared to finish them off, he felt the tiny beasts sinking there fangs into him! Immediatly, he detected a lethal poison being injected into his body. Saarg had to act quickly. He lashed out and crushed the remaining creatures with his head, and managed to shake the larger beast he had skwered free in the process. Maybe if he could absorb the creature, he could create an anti-venom? Saarg began the absorption of the irritating thing, hoping both for a cure, and to be able to utilise the venom himself!
The slime got up slowly, it looked at the creature an concluded that eating it is too much effort to be worth it, the slime started walking away from it looking for something to eat.
I've actually been directly updating everyone's unlocks in the Group, to encourage its use and keep things in the thread a little cleaner.
@Eltanin: The surface of the cold/wet was easily able to be escaped from, as the ground rose up to a soft incline out of the cold/wet. The smell in the air that led the slime to the creature didn't get stronger or weaker, it seemed to not be trying to go anywhere now. The creature [http://frogspictures.net/California-Toad.jpg] sat just inside the cold/wet, but mostly out of it. The ground where it sat, and the ground around it, was very wet and soggy, and the slime sunk slightly into it because of its weight, even though it was very little. Luckily, it didn't sink into the ground more than a tiny bit.
@Havoc: Squeezing itself into the container was easy enough, but the sides of the opening were sharp, and it sliced the slime's surface somewhat. Inside the container, the slime found only liquid. It tasted... po.. potent. Again? Whatever this stuff was, it made the slime confused too. It wasn't forcing it to feel random temperatures all over itself, but it did something else. The slime couldn't help but feel disoriented and uncoordinated, but twice as confident in itself. Whatever this affect was, even just a taste started to spread through the slime's form.
@Saarg: Absorbing the venom as it began to spread made the slime feel strange. The ink it found earlier spread through its whole form once it was found, before receeding and becoming a lump in the slime. This time though, it seemed like the slime actively concentrating on the spreading affect caused it to start to develop one of those lumps again, but without its whole body being affected! The slime felt tired from this, but only around the areas that were affected.
@Wrecker: Going away from its kin, the slime saw something. A specific shape of indent in the ground, going a certain direction... it looked like there was one after the other, and the indents seem to write a path for the slime [http://farm1.static.flickr.com/81/237037842_bc9868c594.jpg] to follow. Not far from this path was a... thing. The slime didn't know what the shape was at all. But something told the slime there was food inside [http://www.nxsurplus.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/alice-backpack.jpg].
The filmy organism finished dissolving the hard organic matter it absorbed. Now it seemed there was a sort of outer shell surrounding the mucus-like creature. However, before it was able to inspect it's new evolution further, the surface beneath it started to push the slime forward! Instinct called the now hardened organism to shrink in itself as it rolled faster and faster toward an unknown destination.
the slime ran towards this strange object, it tried to chew through it's thick outer layer, but it was to no avail. It then started tearing at the object with it's tail, after a couple of swings something's fell out of this object, they had an out layer that tasted horrible when the slime tried to eat them, it placed the object down and took a swing at this smaller object cutting straight through it with it's tail, the slime then started eating the inside of this object.
Eltanin again grew impatient. This thing would do nothing! How disappointing.
Perhaps it was just a food thing.
Eltanin decided to devour the now stationary thing. Or at least, attempt to. The slime lunged towards the creature as swiftly as it could make its gelatinous little body go.
Saarg was relieved that its gamble seemed to have paid off. The poison didn't seem to be having any catastrophic negative affects, and the formation of a new gland was something Saarg was used to. Saarg could tell that the poison in this new gland was much more potent than the kind it had in its own extensions, so re-rooted the gland to its fangs. Saarg hoped this new venom to be the deadliest yet! With the crisis averted, and even turned on its head by the improvement of Saarg's weapon systems, the slime turned its attention the the blockage in its path. Remembering how the itchy creature had climbed so effortlessly, an idea struck Saarg. Did he have enough energy left to evolve though?
@Ravager: The slime felt a ledge on the creature, assuming it was its top. But.. it felt like it wasn't any thicker than the part it was holding on to. Feeling its way even further up, it started to puff out. How big was this thing?! The creature shook the part that was being absorbed, but to no avail. The slime started to learn what this thing was as it continued absorbing.
@Bleak: The slime rolled down the wet ground, very slowly picking up speed as it went. It didn't go far, however, as it bumped into something hard. The slime realized something when it hit. The slime that it hardened wasn't able to tell the difference between organic and inorganic. It couldn't taste or absorb through this? The hard thing, whatever it was, had moved when it was bumped into, and small things [http://onewaypestcontrol.com/sites/default/files/images/pill%20bugs.jpg] that were under it were revealed.
@Wrecker: The stuff inside the yucky stuff was really tasty! Whatever it was, it tasted like many things, but there didn't seem to be enough of most of the tastes to learn much. One thing was a really obvious taste, though. The outside of the container the food was in was also semi-organic. Eating more of the stuff, the slime could see there was more than one container like this in the weird thing it had ripped open.
@Eltanin: Slurping onto the creature, the slime felt the creature's front extremely huge, but then it deflated! It had an opening of some kind above this... puffy part, and it was slightly open. Maybe the creature was doing something with its puffy, and that's why it hadn't moved? The creature, feeling the slime on it, made a big movement, picking the slime up off the ground with ease. The slime felt the wind against it, as it went in some direction. The slime held on; though not very easily.
@Saarg: The slime was still satiated from its chunky, curdled meal earlier, and the meal had digested completely. But other than that... creatures periodically escaped from the slime. Did they have some way of being able to tell where things were past the distance of their own body? Finding the big itchy thing that got accidentally dislodged might count on that. Before the slime could finish its thought, something fell on it, but this time it wasn't completely covered, only a small portion of it. This thing... what was it?
The strange creature unknowingly named Bleak moved toward the small organisms until it loomed above them. Reaching out with a part of itself, it snagged one of the little things and absorbed it. Greedily, Bleak captured the rest of the small creatures and consumed them. Information flooded Bleak's senses as it learned of the creature's DNA. Suddenly tired, still slimy yet now harder creature settled down to process these new morsels.
Eltanin was mildly disturbed, but at the same time, somehow exited by this new feeling of fast. This is the best emotion that the slime has ever tasted!
Clinging to the thing was tough, but Eltanin was too caught in the moment to think. The slime simply tried to hang on to the puffy and tried to get a better grip by wrapping its sticky-sweet tentacle nectar tail around the thing.
Ravager continued to absorb the creature's DNA, and a mental picture - a map of it's body began to take shape, using this new understanding of the creature's body, ravager was able to find a weak point, it's breathing-pipe was ravager's only way of describing it, it found this area by backtracking a little, and quickly bit down into it.
I hope this is what you meant by "understanding the creature. I used that understanding to determine where each thing was, what it's function was and if it was essential for life.
the slime repeated it's slice and eat pattern till it ate all the containers, the slime could feel to holes forming one on each side of it's head, and something forming inside of these holes suddenly it started hearing things.
my slime has formed ear holes and ear drums but no actual ears, or will it be forming ears in the future, this means that while it has a sense of hearing it has no direction that it hears more then others, but it can still tell where a noise comes from it mearly has no way to focus on a noise
Ish hadn't cared much since the other slime had left. Ish had walked over to another hard thing, organic but smooth and brown in color. and started to gnaw on it.
