another slime quest.

[starburst98]

you are a slime, until just now you were totally mindless and followed you instinct without question. your new thought process has been granted due to sensing two movements of the same size the same distance away in different directions causing an internal conflict that instinct could not resolve.

now which way should you go?

[Lisawags]

Go downwards and eat the source of movement.

[Supernerd]

How big are the movements?

[starburst98]

you go south, you see the whole of it now. how do you want to approach it for eating?

How big are the movements?

compared to you the moving things are a bit smaller

[McFrugal]

Move so that you are where it is going to be.

[starburst98]

you intercept the movement and engulf it.



you gained 4 mass. do you want to use it just to get bigger or can the new intelligence think of something better?

Intelligence

[Supernerd]

Work on producing an improved digestive system so this can be consumed while still having time to chase down the other food item!

[starburst98]

Intelligence

the slime makes a simple thought core and heads back north, it suddenly realizes that the moving things are alive and that is why it moves. you can also now suggest slight more complex actions.

Work on producing an improved digestive system so this can be consumed while still having time to chase down the other food item!

the slimes digestion cannot be upgraded, it's insides are pretty much pure acid.

[Lisawags]

Spy on the other moving object.

[starburst98]

i slime goes toward where it sensed the other motion but when it gets there it doesn't sense anything at the moment, it must not be moving. the slime also ponders how to 'spy'.

[no picture because it would be the same as before]

> Wander around until you hear something moving that's smaller than you. If it's bigger, run the fuck away

[starburst98]

the slime does a simple outward spiral pattern. suddenly something moves.


it can tell it is something nearly identical to the other thing it ate, it's memory is good enough for that. it also knows the thing is faster then it, the last one it caught was because it surprised it, this one is already wary. how should the slime proceed?

[Tam Lin]

Warily

[Lisawags]

Stay still for a little while and go after it in an attempt of outsmarting it.

[PriffyViole]

> Slime: Run for it as fast as you can. Call it a "Running-Around-Thing", or a RAT.

[starburst98]

the slime stops for a moment and stays still. the moving thing (now named a RAT) stops running away and moves closer, the slime then strikes and successfully engulfs it.


another 4 points of MASS are available to you. with your new brain core any signals from COMPLEX SENSES should be easy to decipher.

[PriffyViole]

> Direct the RAT directly to smartness. Directly.

[Lisawags]

INTELLIGENCE

[starburst98]

the slime takes a moment to think about getting more intelligence. in order to gain more it needs to add mass to the brain core, the dotted line is it's estimate of the size.


it would take roughly 50% of it's volume and it cannot be charged around like normal mass can. are you certain you want to do this?

[McFrugal]

How about we get some EYES first?

[PriffyViole]

> Evenly distribute the mass of the RAT.

[starburst98]

you use 3 mass to grow a simple eye a world of shapes unfolds before you.


you hold onto the last point and get very slightly bigger.

[PriffyViole]

attack lines.
