Happy Fun Adventure Time! - an Illustrated Adventure

Either way, clearly we are not equipped to properly interact with our environment. Perhaps a re-evaluation of our self is in order.

Also, perhaps evolving things is not the proper solution to everything that we think we need or encounter. If anything we need to evolve better structures for exploration and then spend time actually exploring rather than sitting around and evolving things we don’t need. We need to find some food, mark out a LAIR of our own, and then figure out where we need to go from there.

Agreed. Use tools at our disposal whenever possible. Only evolve new tools when absolutely necessary. New evolutions should also be useful for a variety of things, as opposed to being useful only for immediate concerns. Size is going to be just as helpful as new evolutions--if not more so. A larger version of what we are right now could, for instance, have wrapped about the pugilist robot, and secreted acid onto him until we digested him for mass. At our current level of mass, however, it doesn't matter if we piss death and shit destruction. We are an insect to be crushed.

If anything we need to evolve better structures

Structures are weaknesses. Evolve TOOLS for exploration, like greater squishiness and stronger acids/plating for stretching through areas, climbing things, and melting through obstructions.

However, it is only through the mercy (or forgetfulness) of Lord Arhra, that we did not suffer from multiple spinal fractures/destroyed brain matter and the death that comes with the loss of one's primary nervous system when we were punched.

The brain is, honestly, useless unless we plan to begin 'inventing' instead of 'evolving'. The creature will always be driven by the mass bureaucracy of this thread, therefore a brain is useless for planning or outwitting enemies. Brain or no, the creature will act and react only as we will it to.

The spine, on the other hand, is nothing but a limiting factor and a liability. Again, we should have had it shattered and been crippled until we could cannibalize it (removing the evolution in its entirety) or have time to rebuild it. It further limits the shapes we can force our squishy body into, and thus the orifices through which we can squeeze.

Structures = bad. They should only be evolved when it becomes obvious that we NEED a structure for something. Better hands, for instance, if we get to a point when we NEED to lift something. A central nervous system when we reach a point where we NEED to CREATE something, instead of evolve it. Eyes when we NEED to see (which we did, and I agree with their structure being added).

A structureless, organless mass is, effectively, immune to all non-chemical or energy based forms of damage. You can't injure it with cuts or blunt force, as it will merely reform, or escape leaving some of its mass behind to rebuild later. A mass with organs and structures, however, becomes vulnerable.

We need to find some food, mark out a LAIR of our own, and then figure out where we need to go from there.

Agreed, again.

Edit: That is if we're going to start developing an actual plan and not just shoot laser pointer eyes at formless horrors from the beyond.

I would like to label the REASON center of the body the Tev-Krylo Node.

Anyway, I say RETREAT from the monstrous fangy death. Go back to the room we labeled as the MUSHROOM SHRINE and investigate where the yummy liquid leaking into it is coming from. This room may become our future LAIR if the source of the yummy liquid is renewable.

That this creature is still not a giant phallus is a testament to forum member's self-restraint.

[brown_tiger]

I say get the hell outta there, see if there is a bar in existance, and drink until we're slobs

[Yumil]

-Escape fanged death
-Go to mushroom shrine
-Devolve everything but ears, eyes, and whiskers.
-Evolve ability to not dilate sense time, leading to greater time skips between updates
-Start eating rock

Squishy Devourer of worlds, we will become. It's obvious that this world has nothing worth living, cept yummy mushrooms.

>Evolve LONG-TERM GOALS.

>Vow to one day engage the ROBOT in a DUEL when you are more appropriately SIZED.

>Perhaps the FANGED DEATH isn't quite as HOSTILE as we're making it out to be? In any case, SNEAK AROUND it to the various EXITS and use your LASER EYES to determine what lies down them.

[Arhra]

>DEVELOP A LANGUAGE.



It communicates by biting! Aaaaaaa!


>USE LASER EYES on DWELLER IN THE DARK



You wonder if this was a good idea.



It's... it's ACTUALLY EFFECTIVE!


>RUN AWAY from the FANGED DEATH.



Scarper successful! You remove yourself from its immediate proximity.


>Lure tentacle death to robot death.



Tentacle death does not seem to be co-operating.


>Attach ZAPPY OBJECT to your chest/neck area, fork-looking side up.



You secrete a STICKY FILM to attach the SHINY YELLOW THING to yourself.

This should let you carry it!


>Go back to the room we labeled as the MUSHROOMY SHRINE and investigate where the yummy liquid leaking into it is coming from.



It's coming from a CRACK in the wall.

There's no way you'll be able to squeeze through such a NARROW CRACK. Even the SQUISHIEST of THINGS couldn't hope to get in there.

[The Artist Formerly Known as Hawk]

SECRETE ACID on to the wall to widen the CRACK.

Continue until NARROW CRACK becomes NARROW PASSAGE.

EXPLORE PASSAGE.

[Meister]

If we got to the MUSHROOMY SHRINE from the HOLE that means the ROBOT isn't waiting for us outside and we can explore! Leave MUSHROOMY SHRINE, go SOUTH until we're back in the passage with exits to the NORTH and OTHER NORTH and explore OTHER NORTH.
