Happy Fun Adventure Time! - an Illustrated Adventure

[Arhra]

I'm in the mood to do a MS Paint Adventure styled game so let's begin!

I've always loved those EVO-style games so it's going to be something a little like that.

Wander around, have adventures, grow!

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0001.png

You are AWAKE.
You feel AMBIVALENT.

You do not know where you are.


http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0002.png

You are a thing. You are currently shaped like this.

There is a HARD THING beneath you. It feels WARM.
There is a slight BREEZE coming from the EAST.

[Krylo]

Retrieve arms from safe.

[Arhra]

>Retrieve arms from safe.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0003.png

You don't know what any of those things are.

[Flarecobra]

Punch user in the nose to establish superiority.

[phil_]

DANGO DAIKAZOKU!

http://img707.imageshack.us/img707/9008/ho0002philbetter.png

>Find Family

[Geminex]

Evolve sentinence!

[MuMu]

Devour Everything!
http://img96.imageshack.us/img96/4928/kirbup.jpg (http://img96.imageshack.us/i/kirbup.jpg/)

Evolve sentinence!

Or this.

[phil_]

Oh, I have another suggestion: Do that cave exploring comic.

[Arhra]

>Find family.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0004.png

You don't know where they are or if you even have any.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0005.png

You have become SAD.

You have lost PRECIOUS FLUIDS.


>Devour everything.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0006.png

In your sorrow, you decide to DEVOUR EVERYTHING.

... This doesn't seem to be working.


>Evolve sentience.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0007.png

You're not sure whether or not that did anything.

[Sir Pinkleton]

Go west.

[Dular]

That hard thing must obviously be an item.

>Get ye flask!

[Krylo]

Turn on light.

[Geminex]

Divide

[Kerensky287]

There is a HARD THING beneath you. It feels WARM.

Cry in innuendo-induced horror until your fluid meter is empty.

[Arhra]

>Go west.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0008.png

You hit a HARD THING. It is flat. It is rough. It is upright.


>That hard thing must obviously be an item. Get ye flask

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0009.png

Can't get ye flask. It is the floor.


>Turn on light.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0010.png

The lights are already on.

You realise you are missing a few senses.


>Divide.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0011.png

Your pose helps you concentrate on maths problems.

Success!

[Odjn]

Undergo a few million years of evolution and grow arms, legs, and eyes. Also, a brain.

[Geminex]

Climb up the hard thing.

[Si Civa]

Tap dance like a fool.

[greed]

Has to be said sometime. Go East. Toward the breeze.

[krogothwolf]

Bounce around insanely

[Arhra]

>Undergo a few million years of evolution and grow arms, legs, and eyes. Also, a brain.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0012.png

You don't have time for that!

You settle for growing eyes.

You gain SIGHT.
You understand COLOURS.
You are GREEN.
Your ADORABILITY has increased.

You don't have the energy to EVOLVE anything else.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0013.png

The miracle of vision makes you CHEERFUL.


>Climb up the hard thing.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0014.png

The wall is too steep to climb. You cannot stretch enough to reach the top.


>Go East. Towards the breeze.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0015.png

There is another room here!

The BREEZE is coming from the PIT.

[The Kneumatic Pnight]

Green is cliche! Evolve some creativity.

[Satan's Onion]

What's the shiny yellow thing? Examine the shiny yellow thing.

[greed]

Absorb the mushrooms.

[Flarecobra]

Ride the mushrooms like a mechanical bull.

[Julford Hajime]

Go west. :P

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Jump into the pit!

[Krylo]

Ride the shiny yellow thing like a mechanical bull.

[synkr0nized]

I sense an adventure game. Everything must be looked at/examined, touched, tasted, talked to, smelled, taken, equipped, and put in the inventory. Preferably with saves in-between to avoid deaths, and before we wander into the hole.

[krogothwolf]

Push the Yellow thing into the mushrooms!

[Donomni]

Reactivate the save point.

[Arhra]

>Bounce around insanely

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0016.png

You don't bounce very well because of your low VISCOSITY, but it is still fun.

You feel VERY HAPPY.


>Green is cliche! Evolve some creativity.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0017.png

You are now PINK.

You feel PRETTY.

Your mood has improved to JOYFUL.


>What's the shiny yellow thing? Examine the shiny yellow thing.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0018.png

You carefully examine the SHINY YELLOW THING.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0019.png

You do not like the SHINY YELLOW THING.


>Absorb the mushrooms.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0020.png

You engulf and digest the MUSHROOMS.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0021.png

You have grown larger!


>Jump into the pit!

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0022.png

It's very deep. Are you sure you want to do that?


>Ride the shiny yellow thing like a mechanical bull.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0023.png

You still do not like the SHINY YELLOW THING.

[Wigmund]

Go back into previous room and examine red thing.

[Yumil]

Ponder at why the Mushrooms grew back.

[PhoenixFlame]

>Shove shiny yellow thing down the pit.

Failing that, we may need to >Invent SCIENCE! first.

[Token]

>Up. Up. Down. Down. Left. Right. Left. Right. B. A. Start.

[Flarecobra]

Tap the rock into the pit.

[Donomni]

Discover the concept of NAMES, name self.

[bluestarultor]

>Up. Up. Down. Down. Left. Right. Left. Right. B. A. Start.

>Up. Up. Down. Down. Left. Right. Left. Right. A. B. Start.

[Ryong]

>B. A. Right. Right. A. C. Up. Down. A.

Because fuck, I want something more obscure.

But no, seriously:

> Repeatedly digest the mushrooms as they forever grow back for unlimited evolutional energy. Then evolve a drill for an arm.

[Token]

>Up. Up. Down. Down. Left. Right. Left. Right. A. B. Start.

Actually fluffy, both are right in different games.

[Geminex]

Head back, towards the starting area. Examine the BLUE SHARDS.

[Arhra]

Just a little note on my selection process. I've decided I'll rearrange orders if it would make more sense to do so. Avoiding switching between rooms repeatedly for example. I'll try to keep it to a minimum though. The earlier ones are slightly more likely to get picked since I start work as soon as I have some decent thoughts, but one that's put in right before the update like Krogoth's might get rolled into the next round of actions.


>Shove shiny yellow thing down the pit.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0024.png

The SHINY YELLOW THING seems to have run out of ZAP.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0025.png

It's SOMEONE ELSE's problem now.

>Tap the rock into the pit.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0026.png

You push the ROCK in after it.


>Up. Up. Down. Down. Left. Right. Left. Right. Whatever.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0027.png

You do a little victory dance.

You're not very good at it.


>Repeatedly digest the mushrooms as they forever grow back for unlimited evolutional energy. Then evolve a drill for an arm.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0028.png

What the hell do you think this is?


>Go back into previous room and examine red thing.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0029.png

You return to the previous room.

There are exits to the EAST and to the UP.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0030.png

You examine the RED THING.

It is a POOL full of RED STUFF.


>Examine the BLUE SHARDS.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0031.png

They're actually clear!


>Discover the concept of NAMES, name self.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0032.png

You try to think of a NAME for yourself.

What is your NAME?

[Flarecobra]

Bob.

[Kerensky287]

Legion.

Alternatively... Anatoly Cherdenko.

But first push SELECT 3 times so you can name your other party members at the same time.

EDIT: Oh, and a command.

Anatoly Cherdenko: Reproduce by budding to create other party members. Name them Malcolm Reynolds, Boomer Kuwanger and Felix.

[Julford Hajime]

Schtolteheim Reinbach III

Also, DRINK the red stuff.

[OhnoesFlanked]

Dip one blue shard in red pool.

[MuMu]

Christopher "Pinky" Emmanuel.

Don't forget to taste the RED STUFF.

[Krylo]

Seconding Legion.

Action suggestion: Devour Red Stuff and Clear Shards, use mass to become many.

[Wigmund]

Your name is Fucking Bastard, now go drink the red stuff

[mauve]

Your name is Danger.



Command: Wear transparent shard as a crown. Declare yourself ruler of this domain.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Drink red stuff, eat shard, become high, contemplate Life, the Universe and Everything.

[Melfice]

Your name is Danger.



Command: Wear transparent shard as a crown. Declare yourself ruler of this domain.

That can only end in pain and suffering, if it's glass. Almost sounds like it's worth it.

ANYWAY, thirding Legion.
> Devour [Pool of Red Stuff], wear [Clear Shards] as a crown.

[Ryong]

Aw, drill arm did absolutely nothing?

Fouring[?] Legion.

> Store pool of red stuff inside yourself to shoot it from your eyes when needed.

[Arhra]

>Name self.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0033.png

You suddenly realise you are terrible at coming up with names.

This saddens you.

Your mood has dropped to AMBIVALENT.


>Dip one blue shard in red pool.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0034.png

You try to move a SHARD.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0035.png

It's too POINTY for your MEMBRANE to handle!


>DRINK the red stuff.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0036.png

You drink the POOL instead. It's very nice.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0037.png

You have grown larger!

You now have enough MASS to fuel more EVOLUTIONS.

FLUID completely refilled!


>Wear transparent shard as a crown. Declare yourself ruler of this domain.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0038.png

As much as you'd love to do that, the SHARDS are too POINTY for you right now.


>Store pool of red stuff inside yourself to shoot it from your eyes when needed.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0039.png

You already drank the POOL.

You do not have sufficient SECRETION CONTROL to store it without digesting it.


>Use mass to become many.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0040.png

You try to create some SUBJECTS to lord over.

...This doesn't seem to be working.

You no longer have enough MASS to EVOLVE anything.

[Julford Hajime]

Absorb the SUBJECTS, then climb out the broken window (aka Top-left corner)

[Wigmund]

Devour subjects for being useless.
Then go into other room and check out the opening in the 'north' wall.

[MuMu]

Draw faces on the SUBJECTS and engage in SMALL TALK with them to avoid INSANITY.

[Flarecobra]

Reabsorb subjects, attempt to look over the wall.

[Donomni]

Reabsorb SUBJECTS, evolve stronger membrane.

[Nique]

This is the best thing.

Attempt to alter shape into useful objects

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Reabsorb subjects, evolve hermaphroditic gender qualities for full cellular replication.

[Arhra]

Reabsorb subjects, evolve hermaphroditic gender qualities for full cellular replication.

Get out.

[Melfice]

Get out.

I think, hope, Hawk meant asexual reproduction and just mixed up his terms.
If not... I totally support you and am frowning with you.

[Eldezar]

Look East.

[Viridis]

Implode.

Then go east.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

I think, hope, Hawk meant asexual reproduction and just mixed up his terms.
If not... I totally support you and am frowning with you.

Yeah that's what I meant. I was thinking along the lines of Tremors 2 but couldn't remember what it was called when things do that.

[PyrosNine]

Get yourself together and go to the source of the breeze. It's not like you've got all day or anything.

[Osterbaum]

High-five SUBJECTS.

[Arhra]

High five SUBJECTS.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0041.png

Your subjects are uncooperative.

>Absorb the SUBJECTS, then climb out the top-left corner
http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0042.png

You end your brief reign.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0043.png

You still can't reach high enough.


>Go into other room and check out the opening in the 'north' wall.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0044.png

You return to the other room.

There are exits to the NORTH, SOUTH and WEST.

There is a PIT here.
There is a BREEZE coming from the PIT.
There are NO MUSHROOMS here.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0045.png

Through the opening is a wonderful land of plenty.


>Evolve stronger membrane.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0046.png

You use some of your MASS to provide enough ENERGY for EVOLUTION.

You strengthen your MEMBRANE.

You can now touch POINTIER things!


>Attempt to alter shape into useful objects

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0046.png

You assume the most useful shape you can think of for your current situation.

Your range of shapes is limited by your low SQUISHINESS.

[Wigmund]

Devour all the mushrooms and deal with low SQUISHINESS problem.

[MuMu]

NOTICE how this room looks like one ONE-EYED LAUGHING FACE.

ABSORB everything.

[Great Cartoonist]

Digest a small sample of every available material to determine their chemical structure.

[Flarecobra]

Enjoy more Mushrooms.

[Geminex]

Get high on 'shrooms. Hallucinate that you are a pink blob.

[Donomni]

Seconding the "absorb to get high" bit, but then use your highness to reach the previously unreachable area.

[Osterbaum]

Double-high five imaginary mushrooms.

[Kim]

Equip the glass shards like spiky armor, and fire them and anything that vaguely resembles an enemy.

[Satan's Onion]

Explore what appears to be an alcove or hole in the wall of the Land of Plenty. After all, it may lead to more mushrooms.

[Arhra]

>Devour all the mushrooms and deal with low SQUISHINESS problem.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0047.png

You start to devour the MUSHROOMS.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0048.png

You do the thing you just did to more things.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0049.png

They are helpless before your pink tsunami.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0050.png

The ledge and therefore a MUSHROOM are juuust out of reach.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0051.png

To try to solve this, you turn your mind to the SQUISHINESS problem.

You use up MASS to alter you body's composition in quite a complex way.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0052.png

You feel ready for stealth missions now!

You assume more complex shapes and fit through smaller areas.

You are now as SQUISHY as you know how to be.


http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0053.png

You can stretch further but shrank so much the ledge is still out of reach.

This is starting to get annoying!


>Enjoy more Mushrooms.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0054.png

You remind yourself you just ate a lot of MUSHROOMS and they were very tasty.

You are now CONTENT.


>Double-high five imaginary mushrooms.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0055.png

You do it once then do it again!


>Equip the glass shards like spiky armor, and fire them at anything that vaguely resembles an enemy.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0056.png

You return to the first room.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0057.png

You look ridiculous!

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0058.png

The SHINY YELLOW THING was probably not a friend.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0059.png

You don't feel all that well protected.

[Great Cartoonist]

Attempt to bounce up to the higher ledge in the north room by pretending that you are a superball.

[Wigmund]

Use glass shard unicorn horn to wish for better powers

[Krylo]

Take on a stealthy form and explore southward.

[Nique]

Attempt to alter your body temperature.

[akaSM]

Turn into a rainbowy seizure-inducing color

[Token]

Become God.

[Flarecobra]

Try to look into the pit without falling in.

[akaSM]

Grow a 'stache.

[Great Cartoonist]

http://i50.tinypic.com/4gkk7q.jpg<Oooh, oooh! I got an idea! Try altering your shape into that of a humanoid... or at least something that can scale walls. If not, then make a mental note to evolve Ditto-like abilities.>

[OhnoesFlanked]

Evolve STICKINESS. Use STICKINESS to scale walls and get more mushrooms.

[Yumil]

Fall down hole and hope squishiness saves you.

[Fenris]

Go SOUTH twice.

[Kerensky287]

Just jump down the hole. All those green mushrooms you ate mean that you've got a ton of extra lives - why worry about the consequences?

[Thadius]

>Pick up that loose rock near where you found the glass if you can.

>Throw the loose rock to knock down that last mushroom, or failing that, throw your last bit of glass really hard and hope it hits.

[Arhra]

>Try to look into the pit without falling in.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0060.png


>Fall down hole and hope squishiness saves you.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0061.png

Thinking it over, you'd probably suffer some degree of SPLATTER but otherwise be alright.

But you have decided to check SOUTH before you do that.


>Attempt to bounce up to the higher ledge in the north room by pretending that you are a superball.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0062.png

You don't bounce well, remember?


>Try altering your shape into that of a humanoid... or at least something that can scale walls.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0063.png

You're not entirely sure what that is, but you give it your best try.

The walls are too smooth and steep to climb.


>Evolve STICKINESS. Use STICKINESS to scale walls and get more mushrooms.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0064.png

You secrete a STICKY film.

You have expended precious FLUIDS!

You are stuck to the floor.

So much for that plan!


>Pick up that loose rock near where you found the glass if you can.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0065.png

After freeing yourself, you locate the ROCK from the first room.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0066.png

You carry it back to the emptied MUSHROOM chamber.


>Throw the loose rock to knock down that last mushroom

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0067.png

Hurgh!

It is a big rock and you are a little slime.


>Failing that, throw your last bit of glass really hard and hope it hits.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0068.png

...


>Take on a stealthy form and explore southward.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0069.png

There is a downward sloping tunnel here.
There is VIRULENTLY RED MOULD here.

There are exits to the NORTH and the OTHER NORTH.

[Odjn]

Eat the mold.

[Viridis]

Climb the rock.

[greed]

Investigate the yellow thing visible in the tunnel.

[Sir Pinkleton]

Investigate the yellow thing visible in the tunnel.

I think that's supposed to be a light, maybe.

Eat the mold, go to the OTHER NORTH.

[Great Cartoonist]

Consume a very small sample of the mold to develop resistances to its pathogenic nature, then consume the mold and absorb its abilities to add to your own.

http://i46.tinypic.com/zoexdx.pngOh wait, wait! Try adding a small amount of liquid to the mold to see if it will grow faster in the presence of a nutrient-rich medium.

[krogothwolf]

Wear the mold as a cape! It might give you superpowers.

[PyrosNine]

You poke the MOULD with your SHARD.

It doesn't do anything viral.


>Consume a very small sample of the mold to develop resistances to its pathogenic nature

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0071.png

It's spicy.


>Eat the mold.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0072.png

You start to eat the MOULD.

You can feel HEAT emanating from the illuminated tunnel.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0073.png

You finish eating the MOULD.

You feel filled with EVOLUTIONARY ENERGY.


>Climb the rock.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0074.png

You return to the northern chamber.

You get your thrown SHARD and the last MUSHROOM before continuing NORTHWARDS.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0075.png

You have entered the Mushroomy Road.
There are exits to the NORTH and the SOUTH.

There are many MUSHROOMS here.
There are pools of AMBER FLUID here.

[Meister]

Red stuff doesn't seem to hurt us, but the last time we touched something yellow wasn't so great. Do this:
Craft another small blob from yourself (VERY small)
and have him touch/consume the amber liquid, if it doesn't kill him consume everything in sight and continue to the North.

If it does I guess develop resistance against amber liquid or something.

[Mike McC]

Balance a mushroom on your face and clap.

[Donomni]

Evolve ability to restore precious FLUIDS over time.

If not possible, flip the fuck out over lack of FLUIDS.

ARF ARF ARF!

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0078.png

The blob is still completely inert so you start to consume everything.

The AMBER FLUID is soupy and nutritious.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0079.png

You are huge and sleepy from eating all that.

Your FLUID is completely replenished.


>Evolve ability to restore precious FLUIDS over time.

>Use evolution energy to evolve the ability to dissolve and eat stone. Devour entire area.

You stop lazing around and evolve with all your might.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0083.png

This rock seems slightly more edible now.


>Evolve a more durable skin that resists most corrosive substances and can withstand impact from a 100-pound rock without breaking. Alternatively, evolve muscle tissue and grow defined limbs.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0084.png

Fingers, woah.

You can now form more defined arms.

You did consider the first option but concluded that a 100 pound rock would be quite LARGE and the damage would be highly dependent on how POINTY the rock was and the SPEED it was travelling at. No membrane could ever be completely ROCK-proof.


>Evolve sense of smell for better analyzing your environment.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0085.png

Although it is difficult to tell, you now have a sense of SMELL.

You have used up all your EVOLUTIONARY ENERGY. Further evolution will cost MASS.


>continue to the North

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0086.png

You have entered the Mushroomy Shrine.
There is an EXIT to the SOUTH.

There are MUSHROOMS here.
There is a GIANT MUSHROOM here.
There is a STRANGE MUSHROOM here.
There is a large POOL of AMBER FLUID here. It appears to have leaked in through a crack in the wall.

They should have sent a poet.

[Great Cartoonist]

Allow the giant mushroom to reproduce using the amber fluid and thus create a mushroom garden. Pluck the strange mushroom and allow it to grow off your body in the hopes that it will have a symbiotic relationship and benefit you in some way.

[Tev]

Go back and fish out the Golden Plaque. Erect it in your new Mushroom Shrine in hopes that its alien powers will help grow more mushrooms. After all the room you found it in was full of mushrooms. Also it is yellow and so is the goo that is so very tasty. Having made these strides in thought, establish REASONING and PHILOSOPHY. They will be of use when you later begin forming ideas of RELIGION.

EDIT: Also grow two long skinny feeler appendages from your face and squint more.

You recall you decided you were bad at coming up with names, but you suppose it might be handy if you were to start talking about yourself in the third person.

What is your name?


>Use your newly obtained fingers to craft imaginary friends from mushrooms.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0089.png

These mushrooms do not look imaginary in the slightest! The concept of using real mushrooms to make imaginary friends is so utterly ridiculous it is coming close to causing you physical pain.

Your attempts to imagine a world where you did not have this idea are unsuccessful.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Realise you are now unhealthily obese. Go for a jog fatso!

[Flarecobra]

Take a nap.

[Tev]

Awww, I can't read the text in the fourth panel. Sadness.

Also, after your nap you need to get some structure to you. You've already got the muscular structure for rudimentary hands. It's time you started acting more like a vertebrate and less like a blob. Grow a simple internal cartilage system.

[Mike McC]

>Evolve stable upright structure for climbing

[Great Cartoonist]

Evolve stronger muscle tissue to enable jumping and increase strength and physical resistance.

Also, evolve advanced hearing and light-detecting organs to increase perception.

[Viridis]

Awww, I can't read the text in the fourth panel. Sadness.

The first line is, from what I can make out, "Why is the sky blue?"

I second the 'grown bones or at least cartilage' thing.

[Tev]

I second the 'grown bones or at least cartilage' thing.
Trust me; we want to start with cartilage. We still don't know if we're going to have to do any squishing and squeezing to get out of this cave-thing. If we grow bones too soon, we may get trapped in here....at least until we evolve burrowing claw or acid spit.

[Great Cartoonist]

Also, we want to keep it simple as we still want fast regenerative capabilities.

Which leads to the question: What if we evolve a more advanced reproductive ability to create independent offspring that will behave more like children than mindless minions?

[Tev]

Then we would have to feed, care for, and look after them as opposed to consuming the resources for ourselves and evolving better structures.

[Naqel]

Evolve asexual reproduction to finally succeed in dividing yourself into multiple sentient beings.

[Krylo]

Evolve laser eyes.

[Living Bobbeh]

>Throw Baby.

[PyrosNine]

Since you're too big for anything at this point, you either need to find some way to store excess mass when you don't need it, or grow a drill tail to make doors bigger. Either one is clearly plausible.

Actually, better plan: Use evolutionary mass as a catalyst to evolve larger brain.

It provides a stable structure that is sometimes upright.

Your MASS has decreased.


>Evolve cat ears for unhealthy increase of ADORABILITY and ability to determine location and direction of SOUNDS.

It is simple enough to visualise.

Imagine a collection of many different tiny THINGS making other THINGS.

These new THINGS are slightly different.

Together they form a TREE.

The TREE is struck by LIGHTNING. Parts of the TREE are set on FIRE.

The FIRE attracts a BEAGLE.

The BEAGLE digs beneath the TREE and finds TURTLES.

It's TURTLES all the way down.

Far as I can tell right now everything we consume is stored or used with no waste whatsoever, which is pretty much perfect. Why drop perfectly fine matter? But we could evolve a system that lets us store excess mass in a more dense form so we don't get too large.

[Sky Warrior Bob]

Far as I can tell right now everything we consume is stored or used with no waste whatsoever, which is pretty much perfect. Why drop perfectly fine matter? But we could evolve a system that lets us store excess mass in a more dense form so we don't get too large.

I was thinking along those lines, but the problem with that is, the excess mass storage would still add to our mass. Say I suggested fat cells, well that wouldn't be so cute & even still they can only decrease mass by so much.

Being able to poop, piddle, or excrete slim like a snail, to maintain a relatively consistent mass, seemed like the best way to go.

As for having a limited stomach capacity (also mention in my evolved digestion system), technically there has to be a limit to how many shrooms exist. I just figured it'd be a good idea to put a cap on how much we eat per day.

(Oh, and BTW... Somebody might want to suggest we go back & pick up that piece of 'glass', that was on the gold electro-shock thing. Also, it might be neat to evolve the ability to use our current glass spines as teeth & claws as necessary. Just a thought.)

Yeah, I wasn't a fan of the spider idea either. But now we may as well go with it until we can evolve something better.

[Ryong]

Fuse arms with the first pair of spider legs to reinforce said arms.

[Sky Warrior Bob]

We could turn the spider legs into wing-less wings. (Like you see in Deth Metal covers & the like.) Or maybe make them into actual wings.

Of course, being underground with low ceilings, flight isn't exactly the best evolutionary idea. But then again, laser eyes isn't going to win any awards either.

I am suprised that we haven't run into anything else that semi-intelligent. I'd like a 1-1 battle with a sloth thing. C'mon, give us something to kill.

Subjects? Is this a euphemism for the excess mass Hugh will start excreeting, assuming my digestion evolution is employeed?

Because, there has been at least one past attempt to make subjects. It didn't work out well.

(Yes, I consider our Thingie's name to be Hugh. Every one of Arha's posts refers to us as You. Same name, different spelling.)

[Vauron]

Go east for great justice!

[Sir Pinkleton]

I believe the consensus among those still trying to create subjects, and I have to agree with the notion, is that we have more mass for the subjects. before, they were piddly little things. It's no wonder they did nothing. I think we have enough mass to create something that was our original size, if we wanted.

Whether or not this is a worthwhile idea, though, I don't know.

What else can be said?

Although now you have a MOUTH, if there was something, you could SAY it.


>Concentrate on a bigger brain

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0113.png

You condense some of your MASS to form a dedicated THINKING thing.

You have gained a new ORGAN: PEA SIZED BRAIN.

You can handle more complex CONCEPTS.
You feel more IMAGINATIVE.
Your COORDINATION has improved.

You can't become Squishy, Hugger of Worlds overnight!


>Evolve more complex digestive system, that allows for excretion of waste mass & storage of necessary mass.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0115.png

You expend some of your MASS to modify your substance.

You can now convert portions of your MASS into HYPERMASS! It is essentially the same as normal MASS but TEN TIMES as DENSE.

Also, maybe Mr Squishy can eat the shell just like it eats rocks, maybe it's a good idea to try that before devolving anything.

[Great Cartoonist]

Reduce mantle to a smaller area, and adjust it to grow a shell more akin to a snail shell.

Also, evolve resistance to extreme temperatures and electricity. And try evolving some electricity-generating organs. And while we're at it, MANLINESS.

MANLINESS.Yeah, this isn't old.

You have gained ECHOLOCATION.
You can now make basic SOUNDS.

I just realized that we've been spending a lot of our time trying to decide what to evolve next. Shouldn't we be exploring or something? Eventually?

[Tev]

Evolve: Dark Vision. Allowing you to see easier in the evil dark cave!We already have echolocation. How much easier do we need to see things than a perfect 3D sound-map as well as our own eyes?

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

Echolocation doesn't come with a zoom.

Evolve ZOOM EYES.

Combine with LASER EYES for increased LASER EYE POWER.

[Tev]

Yeah, back on page 17 some guy suggested we do that....
Anyway, head EAST in search of food.
Instead we shot things poorly with eye lasers and sealed ourselves in a shell prison.

Also, spider legs were an awful idea. If it weren't for the cat-ears, we'd be dangerously close to not adorable. Things were better in the old days. We didn't need all these fancy organs and mushrooms. All we had were some basic eyes and sphere-iness, and that's the way we liked it; exploring caves and getting shocked like our fore-fathers did.

[Krylo]

I might suggest that Ahrha's next update should probably come sooner/shorter than normal, as that until we know that we can get out of our shell somehow, all we can do is come up with harebrained ideas on how to get out of it, which will probably involve new evolutions.

Also, Phil and I are on the same page as far as appearance and adorableness goes.

[Funka Genocide]

Realize the usefulness of terror.

[Flarecobra]

After breaking out, decide your name will be Squishy.

[BitVyper]

Spider legs are great, and everyone who disagrees is stupid. Who wants to be a blob that can only eat and has no physical abilities when we can effectively modify our body with whatever is useful at will?

[Great Cartoonist]

Spider legs are large and gets in the way of things. Sure it's useful for jumping, scaling, and all those other things spiders can do, but do we really need them? Think about using more efficient and compact limbs.

Like millipede legs. Or bipedal legs.

Also, I played E.V.O.: Search for Eden.

[phil_]

Spider legs are great, and everyone who disagrees is stupid.You're stupid.

[Arhra]

Can't argue with that!

Since I will most likely not be getting a chance to put together an update tonight, I might as well say that one (and only one) of those escape methods works.

[Thadius]

You can now selectively secrete from parts of your body.
You now have more refined control over the substance produced.
You can now secrete ACID.

>Recreate shell with new control over excretions as a totally bitchin' suit of fully articulated chitinous armor.

Your precious FLUIDS are dangerously low! You have insufficient FLUID to secrete that much SHELL.

http://i51.photobucket.com/albums/f362/Arhra/ho/ho_0127.png

You could create a partial carapace with your remaining FLUIDS, do you wish to do that?


Seeing the split over the spider legs thing, it seemed a carapace would also very divisive. I decided to post the update up to this point rather than spend more time thinking it over. I'll give you guys a day or two to decide if you want to go with the shell, and then post the rest of the update.

[phil_]

No shell! Cuteness! CUTENESSSSSSS!

[akaSM]

Just out of curiosity, how would Squishy look if it had the spider legs and carapace? Also, I think the carapace looks cool...but it takes away the ADORABILITY even more than the spider legs did. Also, try to ABSORB the SHELL. Ans since Squishy seems to be happy in that POOL OF ACID, it should be able to absorb it with no bad consecuences to regain some FLUID

[Teal Mage]

I'm with Phil, that shell looks like something out of Bleach.

Also ugly!

If you must have a shell though, at least do it Lapras style. (http://www.gpdesenhos.com.br/imagens/outros/outros/pokemon/lapras.jpg)

He already does look a lot like a Lapras anyway.

Nah, no shell. In an emergency, we can always secrete something to protect us.
