Wet, Cold, Dirty liquid. It surrounded the spherical mutant almost completely. After rolling around in the filmy depths for a while the creature was finally free of the strange pressure the wetness gave it. It propelled itself rather aimlessly until it was able to find the thing it rolled over and rolled over it again. Finally getting back out of the cold and dirty miasma for the second time, it pealed back and stopped.
Unfolding itself, it slowly trekked over to the weirdly shaped form. Moving around it and on it, the hardened creature was able to tell it was organic, but not living. It was a smooth, circle shape like itself, but it seemed there was more then just one shape here, several small, living organisms were stuck to it and moving very quickly. Feeling around, the critter noticed some were on it too! Well, that won't do.
Moving swiftly, it reached with its slimy under-body and snatched the small beings from its shell and absorbed them. Feeling hungry again, it absorbed the small organic mass as well as the creatures crawling on it. Mmm, what a taste.
It was a pleasing gesture to absorb living things. Especially when they struggled. Moving things were a chance because they weren't always there. This organic thing tasted good, but it was dead, it couldn't move. The small little forms moving around were a lot more fun to catch and consume.

I've just been updating the character information post itself in the group's Home tab [http://www.escapistmagazine.com/groups/view/Azure-Wyrm?edit=1#], as new things are unlocked it will be written there.
@Eltanin: Even if the slime had a mouth, this thing [http://www.deviantart.com/download/36604604/Red_Dragonfly_by_ernieleo.jpg] wouldn't fit in it. Luckily it was still mostly slime, so it was able to be pulled into its form to be digested. It flapped its wings about, pulling itself away from the slime, starting to free itself. The sticky stuck on the slime's whip tail on to the huge weird thing's tail, but it didn't have a very good grip.
@Bosque: The slime could tell there was something deep in the hole, but it was too far to tell what it was, only that it was in there deep. The slime's screams got gentler and gentler over distance, and it just couldn't penetrate into the hole. There was something somewhat pokey, but wide and rounded in there. Whatever it was, the slime would have to go down the hole itself in order to get a closer look. Pounding its toy on the entrance didn't antagonize the thing, or if it didn't it wasn't obvious. At least the flying thing [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-QrgvMz9AaQA/TY8AeucB-UI/AAAAAAAACHk/n53A9Hmcg5s/s1600/wasp-0071.jpg] was dead now after being struck.
@Saarg: The organic thing [http://j-walkblog.com/images2/dead-possum5.jpg] was flopped at the edge of the ledge the slime had climbed over, partially hanging over it. Little flying things [http://hollywoodhatesme.files.wordpress.com/2011/01/flies.jpg], whatever they were, seemed interested in the thing just as much as the slime was. But then something happened. The organic thing, that even the slime could tell was dead, moved. It looked like something had yanked on it. The slime couldn't see over the ledge, and that was the direction the thing was pulled..
@Arq: The cylindrical thing in the slime's mouth was definitely not organic. Whatever it was that was in it might be, though. Whether it was another slime in the container or not, it moved when the slime moved, and a tiny bit after. The shadow the slime had been chasing started to shrink in size in the distance, starting to get much smaller than when the slime first saw it.
@Wrecker: What was that? The thing it saw was blurry, but it looked like it had invisible skin like it used to have, but inside that invisible skin, was something else entirely [http://thenakedbeet.com/wp-content/uploads/2010/08/IMG_0149-TopDownBlueCornTortillasCut500x333.jpg]. The slime had never seen that color before. It hadn't seen invisible skin before either, not like that. Whatever it was, it was partially covered by the leaves of some sort of plant [http://www.gardensoyvey.com/catalog/images/schield-fern.jpg].
@Ish: The other creature finished consuming the piece of food a little faster than Ish did, staring intently at something. Some sort of other creature [http://www.naturephoto-cz.com/photos/sevcik/tree-sparrow--vrabec-polni-1.jpg] came from above and landed over near where the other creature was looking. Was that what the other creature was looking at?
@Bleak: This thing felt.. soft, but stable. What was this stuff? The things wiggling around [http://dicksandy.org/Favorites/Scenes%20and%20People/Photos/black%20bee.jpg] seemed to try and get out from under it, but it didn't seem to matter. Something else happened though, something painful. What was up with all this hurtyness? The pain came from a sharp pinch-like feeling on its side. Pain from that started to spread through the slime, just like the weird tasting wet did, but the pain was different. It also felt like something the size of one of the things it rolled into the organic had bumped into its hard slime. The slime began to feel lethargic after all the consuming the little things and the thing they had climbed on [http://us.123rf.com/400wm/400/400/bwf211/bwf2111101/bwf211110100052/8589475-lean-ground-beef-freshly-ground-on-a-white-background.jpg], but also felt something else. It felt like it needed to stretch.
Ish turned around and stared at the bird. it couldn't care weather or not it ate the bird, the other creature could have it. Ish walked off and after a while the slime had found a field of something. on the ground in front of it, there was something yellow and extremely bumpy. part of it was covered what looked like was to be leaves. ish decided to eat it and set to work doing so.
the slime tried to eat the strange thing but the invisible skin was too though for the slime, after chewing the object from different angles and smacking it with his tail for a while, when it heard a pop noise and the top of the skin was suddenly easy to move. The slime then starting devouring the organic substance inside.
Ravager persisted, retaining his grip on the creature's top and biting more and more into the creatures neck in hope of cutting off air, every so often stopping to shake off the liquid seeping out. He swallowed, or absorbed, some of it too, along with the creatures skin. The liquid tasted, metallic, but not nutritious. The flesh tasted much more wholesome.
Bosque wrapped the flying thing in his tail and let the liquid sustenance flow into him. He listened closely to the hole, knowing beyond doubt it wasn't a good idea to go in there. And yet something compelled him. He had no idea where to find the whiskery jumping terror, he had to search every dark corner.
Bosque thought about his approach. The tunnel was closely packed if his screams could be trusted, but it opened up a bit after the begining. Bosque decided it was best to enter backwards, tail first. If he needed to escape quickly he was already facing the way out and if he needed to fight his tail was the first thing presented. And with that Bosque began to slow, careful process of entering the tunnel.

Saarg was filled with a sudden sense of fore-boading. Whatever was pulling the creature away, it had to be at least the same size as the mound, which made it equal to, or larger than the slime itself! Remembering his last encounter with a large creature, Saarg decided to take a more stealthy approach.
Saarg slid along the underneath the ledge until it reached a wall, then lifted itself up onto the ledge once more. Lying in what it hoped was the shadows, Saarg began scanning for what had become of its prey-to-be. Once again, Saargs eyes failed him as he could only make out an indestinct blob a little way away. What the slime could tell, however, was that it was definitely bigger than Saarg. Had he finally caught up with the beast that had wounded him in the first place?
Driven on by a primitive desire for vengeance, Saarg slid stealthily along on its belly, keeping low to the ground. He would gather information on his nemesis, then launch an attack!

Abruptly, Bleak felt a pressure building inside itself. What was this strange feeling, like it need to release something held inside? The orb-like being couldn't take anymore pressure and extended itself out as far possible. One of the ends of its body bubbled up and jetted out a clear liquid that when it landed on nearby plants, burned through them viciously. Feeling loads better but still feeling that small pressure, Bleak stretched again. The liquid wasn't released this time so the shelled creature rolled back into its ball form and rolled along the edge of the dirty wetness, looking for more interesting things to devour.
Forests don't contain corn fields. Instead its a bunch of spoiled ears of corn dumped with the rest of the trash, but there are a few hundred of them.
@Ish: Strange organic yellow bumpy cylindrical [http://www.hort.purdue.edu/ext/senior/vegetabl/images/large/cornears.jpg] things were all over the ground, not far from the other pile of... stuff. The things were definitely organic, the slime could tell that just by looking. They tasted different than other things it had before, and the center of each cylinder had a hard core. The slime had hard things in the core of its legs and back, but this felt different. Whatever they were, the slime had a feast set before it.
@Wrecker: Smacking its tail straight down on the invisible skinned thing made it deflate right away, making a really loud sound. Able to eat the stuff in the invisible-skinned flimsy container, the slime could tell they tasted... what was going on? Everything started to turn blue. Whatever color something was, it wasn't, but now it was blue. There was also a secondary taste behind the taste of the stuff it had freed. It didn't taste dangerous, but it forced the slime's face to contort because of the flavor. Whatever this flavor was, it started to spread through the slime's body.
@Ravager: The slime didn't realize it sooner, but it did now. As the creature's wet poured all over the slime, it hadn't been making air movements. The slime felt the creature stop suddenly, and the force was transferred right into the slime, making it lose its grip. Worse than that, the large creature had toppled over, and it was now directly on top of the slime; all its weight squishing the slime almost totally flat.
@Bosque: The hole was a tight fit for the slime, but not as tight as it initially thought, possibly because it didn't have a good frame of reference for its own body size. The ground was damp, but not wet enough to actually be wet. When the slime rubbed against any of the sides, small amounts of the inorganic rubbed off on it. As the slime went deeper into the hole, its anxiety grew. Traveling further, something flickered at its backside. Whatever this was, it moved almost half as fast as the slime's own wings did when in flight.
@Saarg: The large creature [http://www.sandiegopersonalinjuryattorneyblog.com/pitbull.jpg] was completely oblivious to the slime, only interested in gorging itself on the other creature. Something seemed off about the large animal though. The slime remembered where it attacked, but another of the animal's legs seemed injured this time too, even worse than the slime could have done. The big animal did have a big head start to get to where they both were now... did something happen further in, causing the animal to come back here?
@Arq: The slime scratched and bit at the container, trying to get it open. It didn't seem like anything it did was having an effect. Getting angry as it had before, the slime bit one side of the container harder than it did before. It broke and some liquid from inside the container splashed all over the slime, most of it still intact. The container itself shattered at the top, sharp pieces of inorganic piercing the slime's mouth, but most of it falling on the ground near the container itself. The smell that escaped the container let the slime know that this was definitely not another creature like itself, but it did smell interestingly potent.
@Bleak: The liquid itself seemed to have an organic layer. Other things in the wet had thin things that ended in wide, flat parts [http://www.teachenglishinasia.net/files/u2/white_water_lily_pad.jpg]. The bottom of the wet felt slimy, but not the same kind of slimy that the slime was made of. More slippery, but inorganic. The slime wasn't sure, but it was almost as if something other than itself caused the wet to move.
Ravager felt around. It's body was capable of some minor movements. Sightlessly, it started to move itself around towards an exit, making small, lurching movements to move itself a centimetre at a time.
The injury to the creature, which up until now Saarg had seen as an alpha predator in the area, caused Saarg to re-consider the potential food chain. What if this creature was just a scavenger? What if the REAL predators were further in? Saarg forced these thoughts to one side. First things first, this creature had to go.
Saarg advanced slowly, keeping to the shadows. The creature seemed intent on consuming the lump Saarg had been following, and this worked greatly to the slime's advantage. As Saarg began to move behind the creature though, its head jerked up. It raised its head in the air and inhaled several times through a black blob on the end of it. A low noise began to rumble from its throat, and Saarg knew, with a certainty it could not explain, that it had been spotted. Saarg acted quickly: he struck.
Saarg lunged and plunged his fangs deep into the flank of the wounded creature, feeling the powerful venom flow away into the beast. It unleashed a mighty howl of pain and spun, lashing out at the slime with its massive paws, Saarg was faster though, and now that it could see how the creature was attacking, it found avoiding being hit much easier. Whenever possible, Saarg darted porwards, delivering another dose of venom into his nemesis' body.
The creature was working itself into a fury, and with its rage came a burst of speed. Saarg was too slow to avoid a clawed paw and was battered into the tunnel wall. The world blurred and Saarg saw several indestinct images swirling around before him. He lashed out futilely at them one by one, but it was no use, and a second blow drove all the strength from the slime. As Saarg tried to focus on the creature, he saw it suddenly stagger as the venom slowly took hold. Had Saarg dosed it with enough to save himself?

Eltanin was frantic at the prospect of eating this new, weird flappy stick thing: it was pretty. Vision certainly made things more interesting (And look more tasty), but also gave new insight onto the food things the slime was encountering. Eltanin understood now that the flappy moved by the flapping- it wasn't just able to float. If it could get the flapping to stop, then it would be easier to keep a hold of.
The slime secreted more of the sticky nectar, hoping that it would make its way to the joints of the flappy.

Ish took a nibble of the things and like the taste, Ish chowed down on the corn until it couldn't eat anymore. It used the energy it gained to grow the two bumps on its back into large limbs. They were skinny but had a single joint on them. they looked like branches covered in scaled bark. Slowly membrane of leaf worked its way down and the wings were complete and around the same size as a barn owls.
Ish sat down and waited for the changes to finish.

@Ravager: The heavy organic thing the slime had killed lay on top of it, with a ridge of inorganic up around the impact site. It was a difficult task, but the slime began to finally free itself from under the thing, though it took a long time.
@Saarg: The large creature took a few strained steps toward the slime, but forcing itself to continue moving and fighting was too much, and it collapsed right in front of the slime. It wasn't dead, but its eyes locked angrily with the slime's. Saarg could feel the animal's hot breath on itself, but it didn't seem much of a threat anymore.
@Eltanin: The secretion from the slime's tail made the creature's front left wing heavier, and it couldn't flap it as fast, or at least that's how it looked. The wing got stuck on the slime's surface when it tried to move it again, but then the slime noticed something interesting. The front right wing only moved when the one opposite it did. The bug did something else, it bent its tail slightly, the slime noticing two spiky things on the end that started coming towards it, the pokey parts closing.
@Ish: The slime's limbs began to grow as it intended, but it could tell it would take much time and energy. Luckily, the slime was full of energy and extra mass to repurpose, and surrounded by easily accessible food.

Exhausted, Ravager pulled the last part of it's body out from underneath the creatures corpse. Turning himself towards the creature's body, he tapped it gently, then started to digest it entirely, using his newly-developed mouthparts.
Why won't it....... HURT, HURT, HURT! The feeling of sharp inorganic things in it's mouth was something Arq really didn't like. But now Arq was stuck with another problem. How the heck could he get them out of his mouth. Arq suddenly felt something new in it's mouth. Is was smooth and flexible and he got a whole new sense from it. He could sense more things and also new things. Using this new thing, Arq went and took out the inorganic things in his mouth. This still hurt and it also hurt this new thing it got.
Finally gotten all the inorganic things out of his mouth, Arq sensed the thing in the cylinder. It sense strong and potent. Maybe it was something organic and it could absorb it. Trying it, Arq felt this new thing come out of his mouth and test it.

Saarg took a few moments to recover from the exhausting battle. It ached all over, but as Saarg gazed at the body of his defeated opponent, a sense of victory flooded through the slime. It had won! It had fought and beaten a creature significantly larger and stronger than it! Saarg advanced and, with a single well aimed bite, punctured the creature's throat. It thrashed pitifully for a few seconds, then lay still. Saarg paused a moment to acknowledge the death of such a powerful beast, then set about doing what it was created to do.
As Saarg began the long process of absorbing the collosal carcass, it realised just how badly injured it truely was. Its flesh was torn in many places, and a strange, thick organic liquid was seaping from the wounds. Saarg was certain that the liquid was meant to stay inside itself, so focused as much energy as it could into healing its injuries. With any luck, this creature would provide him with ample energy to heal, grow and evolve!
