@Sevak: The slime could tell the invisible skin was not organic, so it wasn't edible. But it had some tears and holes in it, and inside the skins was something [https://encrypted-tbn2.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcRxe8olefs0r38TTfOmk4AUR40Eu-wuUeSt5hAeCJ1kRe0EkTef] delicious, sweet. A slight chalkyness to it. The fuzzy colorful [http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-LYmqqFJqh5s/TbYwWhAnpTI/AAAAAAAAAJ0/pExSug3r-gQ/s1600/cotton%2Bballs.jpg] stuff.. well it tasted soft and fluffy like the stuff on the outside of the animals the slime had eaten, but somehow different. Eating enough of the stuff, the slime recognized something. The slime could make the sweet stuff itself if it wanted to. Something else too.. it was organic! It was three types of organic, and the slime recognized each in full! The colorful fluffy though, that was much simpler. It was artificially colored, but the slime already knew the colors. However, it was mostly organic, part of a plant. The slime recognized the plant and how to copy that, too. The thing of current interest, the cylinder, that had something inside it, too. Not much of whatever it was, and it was hard. It [http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-d-vXCdm5aQM/Tn0bAlB1cnI/AAAAAAAADHs/wwXyPSgMvWc/s640/cans5%2521.jpeg] did have a slight stickiness to it, though.

Sevak felt funny. It soon realized that the odd skin things it wanted to keep had come back up on the ground. Fine, what wouldn't stay with him wasn't worth keeping. With that now taken care of, the slime pushed back into the cylinder. The sticky stuff made it easy to move in further before it slammed into a black wall. A black sticky wall. Which hurt. Try to turn around was hard and backing up was odd. The sticky stuff made it slippery in some spots and just not a good way to get out in others. Seems like the slime was stuck.

My friend Russ is coming over this week. Hopefully he'll get me set up with a website on his server then, and we can link to each other's sites. Also, the post is telling you that some of the gray paint got into Sevak's mouth, and it's starting to permeate his cells before it receeds and grows a "paint gland".

@Sevak: The slime couldn't taste the sticky through its scales, but when it bumped its head, some got on its opening. It was inorganic, definitely, but... (pucker pucker)... the slime felt odd. Whatever this stuff was, it seemed like even that could teach the slime something. It felt like the sticky was spreading through the slime, starting from its opening and slowly permeating its form towards its back, but the slime's scales felt dry and brittle, or maybe not its scales, but something on them?

@Viiring: The janitor was ready for another long day of work, but his first job of his afternoons was as a landscaper. Getting into his truck, he made sure the vial he still thought was some sort of cleaning acid was resting safely with his cleaning chemicals and gardening fertilizers.
Arriving at work, he sat in front of a small flower garden, and opened the vial as well as other things, and began to aerate the soil with his trowel. The slime got out and started to absorb some of the marigold [http://images.flowers.vg/1024x768/marigold.jpg] flowers that the janitor had taken off the plants, as the removed flowers had died. The vial, being tipped over, was noticed after a short time, only because of the janitor wiping the sweat from his forehead.
Shocked, he scooped the slime back up into the vial and stood it back up, making sure it couldn't be knocked over again.

Great part - I find [http://www.serenataflowers.com] your way of story telling to be very intelligent. Your writing is actually really good.

OOC: @cbrick : Thank you very much. I've been thinking about the NPC storylines but haven't updated them because I didn't think I had enough active players for there to be interest in what planned enemies may become.

Been working nonstop since my last post. I've got about 7 gigs of work done. I'm making a trading card game.
Unrelated to this, but I'm not ignoring either

ooc: Where is everyone? Also my friend came over but I didn't get set up with a website, there was other stuff going on.

School's been eating me alive... quite badly...

Sevak started to panic a little once the odd feeling spread throughout its body. It didn't like not knowing what was going on, especially if the odd stuff happening wasn't outside or on its scales where it might be able to tell. Whatever it was, the slime was still stuck on top of the small panic attack. Getting out would have to be priority to freaking on odd things.
So the slime stuck to what it knew, squirming and wriggling around in an attempt to find a better bodyhold to propel itself out of this cylinder. Often times it did not work. Only a small portion of the slime's scaled hide could be seen from the outside of the cylinder and that at least gave Sevak a little hope once it realized that small part was not stuck anymore.

 

[Viirin]

@Sevak: With the slime wobbling all around in an odd, or no pattern, something below the cylinder gave way. Sevak could also tell that the brittle stickiness that spread through its body wasn't so bad anymore. The cylinder began to spin and roll, heading downhill. The slime had encountered a similar feeling before. Even though its eyes gave it nearly flawless vision and directional sense, being stuck in the spinning thing was not something easy for the slime to deal with. After rolling some distance, which the slime had no idea about in the slightest anymore, it slammed into something, and the cylinder went off one way, and the slime another.

Game isn't dead, not by far. Message to mods: Please don't delete. A few of my players have notified me in one way or another that real life is in the way of updating, but they do still want to play. Thanks for your time. If this is going to be deleted due to inactivity regardless, please let me know beforehand so I can copy the stories for reference before that occurs. Thank you for your time.

I second above statement! Apologies for absence, again!

Saarg wanted to flee. There was just enough of the darkness to escape, but that light beam the creature held...it was risky. Saarg knew he couldn't fight the creature though, it was just too big for his simple venom and claws! He had to escape. Saarg shot from its hiding place with as much speed as its limbs could muster. The lightness of its bones made this easier, as his talons clicked quietly against the ground. The feeling of moving at full speed was exhilerating to Saarg, and as the escape route loomed closer, Saarg congratulated itself for success.

Then Saarg tripped. Evidently the slime still wasn't used to its legs. Its front two collided together and sent the slimes back two into the air, where they scrabbled franticly, useslessly, for grip. Saarg slid in a heap to the enterance, where it lay in a tangle of limbs and tail. The world spun around the slimes eyes, as it tried to focus on the new creature. If the slime had been noticed, things were about to get nasty...

Spoiler: Question to current or potential players

In the third place I have this game (this location being the second) I leave the story transcription in plain English in parenthesis after the update, so there's no confusion. Want me to do that here too?

@Saarg: The light beam spun around, alerted by the scratching noise on the ground, and landed right on the slime. The creature made some loud sounds just as the slime regained its traction, and its mad scrambling got it out the opening from the room it was aiming for. The creature's footsteps, on the other hand, seemed to scramble the opposite direction. The light followed the slime, staying on it, until it got outside completely; then it hovered on the ground behind the slime.

Sorry for being gone for so long... school's almost over and finals are driving me crazy... I should be on more often after that, though some nights (I will be able to give you a general schedule soon) I'm busy for marching band practice during the summer. Take into account summer projects, I might be busy but probably not busy enough to keep me away from the computer for a month... I still plan on playing this mods!

Sevak hurt and was dizzy, if that's what this feeling could be called. He righted himself after landing upside-down, and everything still was spinning around. Occasionally swaying. His scales bristled in distress for a moment before settling and after standing still for some time, his vision quit moving on its own. The slime realized then that he had no idea were he was anymore. The cylinder was further away and it started to remember the odd feeling it felt inside it. That was hardly noticable now which made Sevak somewhat happy. What ruined that happy feeling was the feeling of falling. The name it finally learned after that incident and realized that it was the same feeling as when it first felt what was under it. Though that realization hardly made anything better. Sevak still had no clue where it was anymore.

I just decided to give you a mini story arc, if you're interested. Follow along the path of interest I give to show interest.

@Sevak: Soft. The slime had landed on soft green organic plants [http://semprul.net/wp-content/uploads/2011/12/green_grass-605.jpg], and noticed a small stream. Strangely enough, there was a clear path on the other side of the thick stream where there was no trace of the plant, as if something had removed it recently. Other than that abrupt difference in color, the area looked mostly the same as where they slime came from- the large organic things taller than the slime could see, more of the green plant covering the ground, a few short leafy plants, and tiny things flying around in the air.

 

[Dragonhatchling]

Sevak was interested in the tiny flying things for a little while, following them while not paying attention to where he was going. He liked the feel of this new ground and occasionally ran into one of the short leafy plant. While following one of the ting things, the slime fell into the stream and panicked for a moment. It soon realized the substance wasn't harming his scales and quit panicking, climbing out of the stream on the other side of it. Immediately the slime stopped. No soft green stuff. None. The slime turned around to see the soft green stuff abundant on the other side, but here... here seemed in very dire need of that nice soft green plant. Sevak studied the contrast for another moment before becoming curious to investigate what took the soft green from this section of ground.

 

[Viirin]

@Sevak: There was an oddly familiar feel about the void area... the slime couldn't place it. It was really familiar! ...Well, the lack of plant seemed to to off in a certain direction, or at least it was in a semi-straight line. After following the trail a small way, it stopped. However, there were indents in the ground that intersected with the end of the no-plant trail. The indents led over that way.. the corpse of a large animal [http://www.nhptv.org/natureworks/graphics/whitetaileddeer1sm.jpg] lay there.

I think that would probably be helpful, at least for any posts you deem particularly complex or in need of clear understanding. Otherwise, I think it sort of emphasises the unusual world the slime is in. But its your call, whatever you deem best!

The slime waited, watching the pool of light behind it. Saarg had no idea what the creature would do, and was pleasantly suprised that it hadn't been pounced on and consumed instantly. The huge creature's decision to...retreat also confused the slime. It had the advantage of size, and Saarg had been helpless. Why wouldn't it attack?

There was always the chance it still would though, and Saarg refused to be caught unprepared again. The instincts inside it bayed for an ambush, and Saarg gladly gave in.

The hairs it had taken from the eight-legged creature, combined with the lightness of the slimes bones allowed Saarg to scramble up the wall beside the opening. About a meter from the ground, the slime's momentum began to die however, and the slime felt itself being pulled back towards the ground. Digging the claws of both its tail and limbs into the surface, the slime continued its ascent, until it lay flattened against the surface, directly above the opening of the portal.

Fangs exposed, tail poised to strike, the slime waited.

I'll put it in spoilers! That way you can read it or ignore it. Story arc 1: Introduction. Story arc 2: Tabloids and Rumors is going to start very soon now. The security guard called for backup.

@Saarg: The pool of light went quickly to the portal with the invisible shield, as the slime had seen inside, then quickly back to the open portal. It made some noise, then something with a sound all its own made noise, then the creature made noise again. This went on a few back-and-forths, the light randomly going between the portals, but never landing on the slime, though one swing got a close call as the light went along the top of the portal the slime was hiding over.

 

[InkBlot Royalist]

Saarg had no idea what the creature was doing, but judging by the erratic sweeping of the light, it couldn't locate the slime. That was good, suprise was helpful. The slime's limbs began to ache from holding it against the wall for so long, but Saarg forced itself to remain there. Unmoving, silent. Saarg felt the venom in its fangs and the pincer on its tail flexing. The slime would wait for the creature's next move. But as the strange noises and patches of silence continued, the slime began to wonder if the creature was coming at all. This puzzeled it. Did it not want to persue it? Saarg knew that the creature should be hunting it. Thats what the slime would do. Maybe this creature wasn't actually a predator?

 

[Viirin]

@Saarg: The slime heard a new sound, coming down a very long, flat pathway that the portal that the slime passed through opened into. It sounded somewhat like a combination of wind and something scraping along the ground. Whatever this new sound was, it was coming towards the slime. The sound followed a pair of bright glowing eyes, illuminating most of the area. It didn't get to the slime yet, but it could tell that if it stayed there, this thing would easily spot the slime. Straining its hearing, the slime thought it could hear one of the same sounds coming from both inside and the bright-eyed thing.
