Nathair turned towards the slow things not quite under ground and charged them, his heads lowering and heading towards them quickly. His heads lining up with 2 of the blood spots and opening his mouths so he can eat them as soon as possible. Losing himself slightly in the need to consume something and get back the energy he had lost.

 

[Viirin]

@Nathair: The slime was in pain. It had rammed (not moving quickly because it couldn't but still...) double headfirst into something huge, impossibly durable, and inorganic. Also jagged. The blood sense told the slime where the things were, and their size, but so much of the surroundings were totally lost to it.

 

[booksv2]

Stumbling back staggering Nathair cry's out in pain at the hard hit he had just taken on this hard jagged thing over the organics. Stumbling away and writhing his heads turn into himself and another soft but shrill cry comes from his mouths at this pain from hitting something so hard and jagged. Turning away and keep stumbling away as he is slightly stunned and the pain causing his instincts to take over and the closest things to him that he touch's and touch's him gets bit and attempted to be eaten and killed.

Spoiler: Books?

A few questions before I respond. Crying out in pain is an instinctual response, which yes some of the instincts you added to yourself have this. The question is, with what (lungs, frog's throat, cricket's legs, whatever- I don't remember all your unlocks) would you cry out with? Also, because you let out a sound, with what means did you hear it? I don't remember you growing ears yet.

@Nathair: In the slime's wild thrashing, one of its heads smacked into the inorganic it was standing on, finding a creature half the size of the snippy things that were in the wet. It even felt like a slime itself! Except for the even thinner, smooth, hard, round, but pointless armor it had, which smooshed into jagged edges as the creature [http://eofdreams.com/data_images/dreams/snail/snail-04.jpg] instantly died. But the creature's life let the slime learn something- the thing had been making a trail from under the jagged inorganic where the other things were sensed. The slime would have to go under the jagged inorganic in order to reach its prey.

 

[booksv2]

One of his heads moving to where the thing had hit the jagged and died Nathair feels around until he finds the body. Biting it and lifting it back and up his other head bites into it also and they rip it apart, swallowing it and crunching on the useless armor on it. Putting his heads down close to the ground Nathair slowly moves forwards until he can feel the jagged thing again. Poking at it lightly with his heads looking for a way under it so he can get at the things to eat them. Forcing himself to go slow even though his hunger is still eating at himself. His legs moving him along the outside and slowly getting better at moving around with them.

 

[Viirin]

@Nathair: The slime had grown too much over too short a period, and hadn't eaten enough to compensate, and began to feel the effects. Though it had started to get a hold of how to use limbs, they began to feel weaker. More tired. Were its limbs thinner or retracting? It was both! But the slime did find a way under the jagged inorganic thing, and though still famished, it felt its internal danger lessen significantly. The small creatures were nearly within reach of the slime's left mouth; but the right being so close made wedging itself in the depression in the inorganic difficult.

 

[booksv2]

Pushing his left head in farther Nathair tries to bite into one of the organics and make his faltering new legs back into what they were. Hunger still biting at himself as he moves his head deeper into the depression and his mouths snap at everything he can get at. Trying to keep his body as far as it has been so far in ability and size.

 

[Viirin]

@Nathair: Straining its legs shot pain through the slime, letting it know that this was a required thing for its own health and safety; part of its own makeup. But its right head was able to grab one of the creatures, small as it was, right into its mouth. It felt the creature's own slime, but then it didn't- it only felt the round pointless armor. Then the left head finally got what the slime wanted after all- a mouth full of slimy creatures! It wouldn't be enough to let the slime grow its legs again, but it would be enough to get it out of dangerously low hunger.

 

[booksv2]

Biting down on this slimy thing and pulling his left head back slightly he started swallowing and pulling it deeper and deeper into his mouth. Nathair's left head biting down on this harder shell and shaking it slightly trying to get the slimy thing that he had just been touching. Biting down harder and feeling the shell crack under his fangs, the bit of tail he still has wagging slightly and flicking around as he crunch's and eats these slimy things.

Spoiler: Pseudopodia

My own word. pseudopod is a slime and snail's eyes- they can retract and put the entire length into a single eyestalk. Consider this unlock to be transferrable to any body part, though only leg length = leg length, etc.

Spoiler: Love Dart & Potent Mucous Gland

A special weapon snails [http://www.newscientist.com/data/images/ns/cms/dn8871/dn8871-1_500.jpg] have. The "Potent" Mucous Gland, in a snail or slime, is within its skin, which is why its like it is. You can always hook it in somewhere else though.

@Nathair: (Unlocked: pseudopodia, potent mucous gland, love dart) Consuming all the small creatures the slime could get to with either of its heads proved itself relieving. The slime's walking limbs were able to sustain themselves, and it no longer felt like it was getting smaller or weaker. But it was still very hungry, and would need something to give it back its own normal density! Though there was nothing else within reach under the jagged inorganic, the slime could tell there were the tiniest possible specks of blood- almost too small to count as actual blood- moving under the far side of the depression it was currently wedged into. Impossible to get there. But the things were almost moving in a slightly curved straight edge... seemingly disappearing away from it.

 

[booksv2]

Now that he wasn't as hungry Nathair pulled his heads back from under the jagged thing and starts walking to the side, trying to follow the speck of blood moving away. A shiver runs from her heads and down her body, ending with her tail whipping side to side. All over his body the armor that had formed before starts to get absorbed back into his slime, energy flooding into him as it happens. Shaking himself again and moving forward quickly towards the blood fleck that had been moving he doesn't think about running into something again, focused on getting this blood and whatever it was inside.

Spoiler: future changes

im going to have those love darts all over my back, connected to some kind of poison or something. so if something touch's my back or grabs it they would shoot out and stab them.

Spoiler: inconsistent

You're referring to your slime as female in some sentences, male in other. Gender is fine at this point; but which is it? Or are you both? Neither?

@Nathair: The slime passes over something that feels like the wet, but is somehow slightly more slick. Whatever it is, it starts to make the slime feel... it doesn't have a frame of reference. But whatever the feeling is, it begins passing through the entire slime, affecting every one of its cells; the slickness seeming like a side-effect of the true stuff. The slickness the slime exudes makes it impossible for it to keep its ground, and it slides down the inorganic into the wet, barely making the wet move. But the wet has taste to it- a familiar taste that it learned how to sense blood from.

 

[booksv2]

Spoiler: OOC

I didn't notice i was switching genders. It wasn't something i was doing consciously. He is a he.

As he slides down into the wet Nathair thrash's slightly until he falls into the wet. The feeling of something affecting all of its body making his try to identify what is going on, not enjoying the feeling of something changing him without him doing it. When he is in the wet and tastes this thing that is much like what gave him blood sense he calms down and slowly reach's out with his heads, wondering what is out there. Also wondering what it was that was affecting him before.

 

[Viirin]

@Nathair: The feeling remained, keeping the slime unable to grasp anything, or even climb. Whatever movements the slime knew it was causing didn't make the wet move- or did it? If it did, the slime couldn't feel it. It couldn't feel anything moving in the wet- the feeling was overwriting it.

 

[booksv2]

Reaching out with his heads and legs Nathair tries to reach anything to get out of this. The not moving wet even when he moves and the very slippery feeling still on him making him unable to move out of where he is. Feeling inside himself and trying to identify what is happening inside, whatever having washed through him still happening and it starting to make him angry. Starting to thrash around some as he cant grab or climb at all still.

 

[Viirin]

@Nathair: After the slime thrashes for awhile, getting nowhere, and getting tired, does it notice that the feeling has already subsided. A lump has begun to grow within its unspecialized slime within its depths, but slowly; something seems off about it. Nothing like the glands it grew that gave it toxins.

 

[booksv2]

Stopping its thrashing Nathair reach's back with one of its heads and pokes its body over where this new gland is. Staying still this time he slowly reach's his heads down to try to reach the bottom and pull himself down. Trying to use the new gland that formed in his body at the same time as he tries to slowly find a way out of this wet.
