The growing worried the slime without his head. He couldn't see. He liked to see. But, what was going on was inside him. Or at least it felt that way. That was distracting him from the pain of the fire ants and the pain slowly went away. This surprised the slime, but allowed it to start walking again in whatever direction it was going before. Hopefully. He couldn't exactly see to know for sure.

The fern scales were still photosynthesizing and providing bits of energy for the slime to move. The few fire ants he did manage to get while bashing his severed head into the sand also provided some energy to walk and scuttle along in whatever direction he was headed. He sure hoped it was the unknown direction he had been heading in before and not back to the rock and the brittle hard flaky thing. He hadn't crossed any more ant lines from the feel of it, although he wondered if following nearby them to wherever they came from would have been fruitful. Yet, without being able to see would just probably cause more pain from those ants. Maybe. Or maybe not, seeing as how one half of the new squishy growing thing was making the pain disappear.

@Sevak: (unlocked: fire ant venom gland) Organic. Not a lot of small ones, and not an old, flaky one- it was a dried up and hardened one, though. Very dry, almost as dry... okay, it WAS as dry as the ground itself was. But it was organic; the slime could tell. Whatever it was, rubbing what parts of its body could actually feel things in useful ways told the slime that the organic was far bigger than the slime was... or at least it used to be.

@Nathair: The creature the slime had made fell, spilling a good amount of its takings from itself as it spun around, heading towards- and heavily slamming into- the ground. But pulling some of the hard, flaky skin off of the tall organics yielded something interesting- something moving. The slime couldn't actually tell what it was, but whatever it was, it was there. Lots of small things... though not as small as other things the slime had seen.

Moving over to where the thing had fallen and leaning down to eat up the rest of it Nathair can feel a small thing inside him at its death but that is soon gone when he eats it and the things it had kept while falling. Moving around to the wiggling things and trying to eat and bite them off of the organics they are on. Getting closer and trying to stab a few but missing and giving up after jabbing the hard organic under it.

 

[Viirin]

@Nathair: They moved very quickly- something the slime was starting to understand. The smaller something was, the faster it could move in relation to its own size. Big things moved far faster, though... especially that thing that had the flashing limb that made the slime hurt so badly. It hadn't even seen what it had done. The hard organic flaked and cracked, the slime's needle getting stuck in it somewhat, but it was able to wedge itself back out. The things were disappating rapidly, going in all sorts of directions. Up the organic, around it, along the ground- everywhere. There was a... light-colored bulbous thing that they all seemed to have been around before the slime broke the organic open and revealed it. It looked like there was something dark inside.

 

[booksv2]

Looking down at the thing they were getting away from Nathair leans down with his biting mouth and starts licking up and biting the wiggling things as his needle pokes what they were getting away from. Pulling back slightly and trying to stab it with his needle Nathair takes a step to the side to lick up and bite ate more of the escaping things as he does. Looking up every few as he does to keep everything in sight.

 

[Viirin]

@Nathair: The moving things were too small and too fast for the slime to have any sort of accuracy in its aims, and the little creatures got away. The white bulbous thing with the dark thing inside that they had run from was immobile, though. Something was strange with it- the dark thing inside, when poked with the slime's needle, felt hard, but quickly felt soft instead. The white stuff covering it didn't feel anything but sticky.

Nathair finishes with the things it can eat, grabbing the soft thing his needle is poked inside with his other mouth and crunches in his mouth as he looks around. Moving away from the spot after the little wiggling things have gotten away Nathair slowly moves around the base of the large organic looking up at it as he can feel the small blood things with one of the larger ones higher above. Setting his foot on the side of the organic and hissing lightly he turns away and starts moving away when something huge ahead of him makes him stop in his tracks. He had felt something this big before and didn't want to face it as he is. Turning away and heading directly away from the large thing quickly Nathair semi runs across the dirt for a few minutes before slowing down and looking up at a pile of something.

Slowly stepping closer and looking up Nathair's head moves forward and the needle on it pokes at part of it as his other head tries to come down and his horn forces him to stop. Trying a few more times he gets a little angry and the needle moves up and pokes at his horn a few times before his needle slides in under the horn and he jerks his heads away from each other. Shaking his horned head he dislikes how it makes him move and starts pulling it back inside him, the energy being given back a welcome addition.

After slowly pulling the needle back inside himself Nathair looks around again and can feel multiple little things moving through the pile. Moving up and poking at the pile again Nathair jumps back when something falls and almost hits him. Moving to the side slightly and moving up the pile slowly his heads move out to either side trying to find something to eat, his blood and heat sense looking for something living.

@Nathair: (unlocked: spiderweb) Small black creatures, but far bigger than the ones before, erupted from where the tumbling thing landed. Whatever they were, they seemed to run in the same pattern that the very tiny things did when the slime broke the skin off of the tall organic, but these were significantly different, and not just in size. They were roundish [https://www.facebook.com/243704349049339/photos/a.714393871980382.1073741829.243704349049339/682542125165557/?type=3&theater], and had thingies sticking out from in front of them in addition to their legs.
But because the tumbling things passed the slime and landed on a softer part that the slime had avoided, the creatures were now starting to disappate in a wild frenzy of random movement and speed.

 

[booksv3]

Looking around wildly and flashing his heads out to grab and stab the ones who were closest Nathair munches them down as he scoots over to the side away from the expanding group. Narrowing his three eyes and munching on the two he had gotten he moves slightly up the pile more and pushes on something with one of his paws as he stiffens. His tail expanding and something forming in the base Nathair sways a little at the sudden drop in energy but looks back as something slides down out of his tail and an egg rolls down the incline of the pile before cracking and shattering. Inside the egg things roil and move before spreading out. Dozens of insects spreading out as they do Nathair takes a step down and in the middle of them as they spread out and start grabbing things and pulling them back. Small holes appearing in the base of his legs the first bug to get there pushes it inside and it is pulled deeper and absorbed.

@Nathair: (unlocked: cockroach radiation immunity) The other creatures that had appeared and scrambled being ignored; the slime showing attention only to the small creatures it had made itself yet again failed to make up the hunger cost they used. But there were other organic things around, the slime could tell. But something was more interesting, or at least it stood out color-wise amongst the otherwise dull colors of strange shapes around and under the slime. One of the things was a... multiple dull colored thing, but the slime didn't know what it was. What it did know was that there was a strange colored part that looked... it looked like it had a different texture than the rest of the thing.

 

[booksv3]

Looking around at the dull colored things all around Nathair pokes at a few of them with his needle and other head a few times as he looks them over. After poking a few of them he looked down at the little things he had made and can feel something in himself because they died but he was unsure what it was. Licking up a few of them and shaking his head he scratches at the texture difference under him with one of his legs. At the same as his legs had been changing his chest just under where his heads come up from change slightly and the ability from something before was created, the skin there rippling slightly.

Lifting his leg and bringing it back down on the different texture again Nathair starts to again when the ends of his legs start to change. The wide paw looking feet he had been using were pulling into itself slightly and hardening. Splitting in the middle and hardening even more before he slams it back against the things under him and watching as it holds up much better than his former feet. Lifting and bringing down all his feet Nathair makes a content sound and lowers his cat head to bite at the different texture thing and try tearing it off.

Spoiler: OOC

The thing under his heads are a spinneret

 

[Viirin]

@Nathair: The slime had overused its mass, and was deliriously hungry. Tearing at the differently-textured part of the organic thing started to make the slime feel... strange. It needed to consume mass, and a lot, and quickly, but with the head bearing its needle it saw the front of its other head start turning a deep blue. The slime felt the change in its head, and it started feeling as though it wasn't responding right. Its ability to feel and sense the surrounding area was weakening, and the deep blue feeling and color kept spreading. The slime quickly had only one head left that could see, and it could see that it was starting to spread up its second neck.

 

[booksv3]

Nathair starts to panic, the loss of use for his head that had taken over and stopped working. Poking at his other head and not feeling anything from it makes him start to panic even more. Rushing forward and stabbing his needle at whatever is close to him he tries spraying it with acid and the other thing on them trying to find something to eat RIGHT NOW.

 

[Viirin]

@Nathair: The slime found various things, but due to the shape of its only available head's mouth, being a needle, it was unable to find anything it was capable of ingesting. The sticky, deep-blue unable-to-taste-or-properly-feel feeling spread more, enveloping the rest of the slime. Whatever this new thing was, the slime was extremely hungry but couldn't do anything about it. Something else happened within the slime, but being that it lost the ability to feel what was actually going on with it besides changing color and feeling, it didn't know what it was.

 

[booksv3]

Nathair shakes his head and falls to the ground as the blue nonfeeling spreads. Reaching back and poking himself with his needle he can barely feel it. Poking his other head laying there limp he moves it around a little before trying to search for something else to eat close by. Stabbing things and trying to feel something that he can eat. A feeling inside him making him know that if he doesnt do something soon he will stop, and that made him fear.

Sevak pressed up against the organic part, using the ruined part of his head section to absorb some of the organic it had found by accident. Bits of dirt and sand and ant were still jammed in that wound though, which made absorbing somewhat harder. Parts of the organic were able to break through though, and when the slime pulled away and odd pattern was on the creature it seemed. But the slime had no head. He couldn't see that. He did continue to be reminded though that the organic was much larger than the slime. At least taller. Who knew about length.

The slime's body wiggled, eager for a head again. The entirety of his being missed the head any more. Heads were important. Especially the head the slime had had. It was very very good for attacking things and killing for some reason the slime was not really sure of.

Spoiler: Dragonhatchling

That's cool. Yeah I wasn't able to log in myself for at least a week for some reason. Couldn't even get the site to come up. I'd be lying if I said that was my reason for inactivity on the other sites, though.

@Nathair: (unlocked: cotton) Everything felt and tasted the same- or rather, nothing felt or tasted like anything. The slime's hunger continued. It was getting tired. Physically tired, from the energy it was outputting without nourishment. The slime poked something again, and felt... its needle crumpled? It wasn't half as hard as it was before, and was now half as long. This wasn't working! Something felt even more odd in the slime, though the feeling quickly dissolved, whatever it was.

@Sevak: (unlocked: yellow labrador) The slime started... it was-? Light. Very bright light. The slime's absorbtion of more organic, and the other organic it had been consuming, though difficult, over time worked. It could see again, so it must have healed at least that much! The slime couldn't help it, and did a thing with the thing inside the opening of its head that it actually intended to make. It felt hard, somewhat sharp things. It was feeling better. It was healing. It could finally start to be able to kill effectively again! Though, now as its new eyes started adjusting to the bright, dry light (that seemingly reflected from most things around it, both near and far) it could tell that there wasn't much of the organic left.

 

[booksv3]

Nathair cries out as best he can as he feels his body stop working the way he wants it to. his needle was gone and that had been his last hope at getting food to curb his hunger. Laying there feeling unable to move and closing his eyes Nathair feels himself lose his ability to move at all, which makes him despair.

 

[Viirin]

@Nathair: The slime moved instinctively, trying to get more comfortable. As it did so, it found that its body wasn't stuck to anything on the limb that moved. The light was even starting to re-enter its eyes on its two-eyed head! It was still very dark, but at least it was *slightly* beginning to get itself back into focus and control. It had nearly gone unconscious from the hunger it was in, and was unable to do anything about. But now it was starting to feel like it could move again, and not be stuck to things, and that's when it was more aware of the varieties of organics all around it.

 

[booksv3]

Trying to move himself and lift his heads Nathair shakes himself as best he can as he tries to stand, failing but still trying. His relighted eyes looking around and taking in the organics around him, looking for one close by he can eat to gain his strength and maybe start fighting this thing even more.
