What if the attacky thing we get is also a mouth? Win/win!

2. If we think we can win, after we get the cool upgrades. Use that smarts!

2. A. Use our speed, perception, and freshly-acquired smarts and penchant for competitive eating to make strafing runs on Bubba's undefended regions and take a bite out of him each time. Ideally, we'll eventually enrage him enough to stop eating and chase us. At that point, we can steer for much smaller demons we can swallow whole on the run, so we can keep growing while Bubba starves.

You can't take a bite out of him, since you don't have a mouth yet. You can try to rip holes in him with your pointy red thinger though.

The optional plan vote was for how you were going to take on Bubba in order to acquire HIS mouth. Sorry if that was unclear. Were yours to win it'd be finagled to make sense according to what you've got at the moment

That's kinda how it goes till you get a mouth. For now it's SCHLORP-sorption. Takes a while.

Gonna try and get an update out tomorrow, so theres some more voting time left. Might be late in the day depending on how the morning goes for me.

In that case we need to up our digestion acids and gain a giant drill piece and digest our goes from the inside out.

Eat me? No I'm actually eating you and you can't stop it. Keep eating more prey to sate my hunger and I'll stop eating you. Now I'm too big to stay inside you so you're food sorry bro next please.

Voting for whatever can make that happen.

Learn to become parasitic. Don't kill big guys instantly, just eat them slowly from the insides. Absorb all of their essence, and the essence of what they eat, while they slowly weaken and die.


Because being large just makes you a target.

Gonna need to plan to take down Bubba. What the poo poo is a plan?





That guy probably knows. CHARGING POINTY RED THING ATTACK STAB ACTION GO!







Alriiiiight. PLAN: noun, a detailed proposal for doing or achieving something. OKAY THEN! Bubba's big like whoa and spends all his time eating stuff...probably doesn't think a whole lot . *snicker* Sucker. He's too big to eat. Too big to eat...time for defense!





That git'll do nicely. Second verse, same as the first!







Ugh. Wow. So this is what indigestion feels like. It's a good thing you're just about made of eyes, so you can check out what's going on in your guts. Looks like your food vacuole is having a tough time breaking this dude down on top of his thick membrane. Hey, it seems you goofed and sucked in a bit of the swimmy juice too and your digestive acids can't get through it. Luckily it's only covering MOST of him so you'll get him in a few moments. Hmmm... Hmmm...


Do you:
A. EW! Spit out the swimmy juice once you're done. Yuck! You wanted a thick membrane, not a mouthful of pool water!
B. *gurgle* Roll with it and find a daemeoba who's got a pepto bismol organelle.
C. BONUS! Infuse the swimmy juice into your new membrane. Maybe it'll keep you from getting digested so easily in addition to providing protection?
D. SCORE! Screw armor, let's suck up more swimmy juice and repurpose this guy's thick membrane. Selectively permeable membrane, bitches! Just don't get shanked.

That sort of thing is likely going to be among the next round of votes. You'll have options to pick from so you can customize how you do the controlling.

The more upgrades you get the more like you are to succeed, but Bubba will have more stuff to contend with the longer you wait.

Keep in mind that the earlier you get something, the more affinity you have with it. This is the earliest developmental stage of your being, so your choices here will continue to define you more than stuff in the next stages of your existence. Perception is your key trait, followed by mobility and then intellect/cunning so you're on your way to being the creeping horror in the dark that isn't easily evaded. If you'd gone with say, shiv-armor-mouth, you'd have been heading towards more of a devouring juggernaut. Genestealer versus ultralisk as it were.

You are demonic amoeba.

A deameoba, if you will.

You don't know if demons poo poo.

You don't know what poo poo is.

If they do, it isn't advertised.

Probably for good reason, considering what you just went through.

Anyway, you don't.

You use 100% of the kill!

If you were...say...one of those silly ol' humans (dafuq are those?), this would be the equivalent of passing a kidney stone spawned from the broken home of a sentient pile of glass shards and concentrated capsaicin. From both holes.

These were not good times.

Luckily you for you, the brain in your not-yet-noggin can't remember that poo poo, so huzzah!


*gurgle*





Huh. Seems that you managed to muscle that goop into an armored layer completely surrounding yourself! Anyone who tries to chomp you is in for a surprise! All except the pointy red thinger. Why? WHO KNOWS?

Full Disclosure: I've been doing some behind the scenes stat tracking and dice rolling but...gently caress. Two consecutive 100's on an actual god drat one hundred sided polyhedral is NEW. I've been rolling this loving thing for 15 years. This is a first. So. Super crit on this advance. Your future advancement in what is essentially armor with a Diablo-style Thorns buff (for this point in the game) is nearly on par with your choice for perception. Maybe you'se not swole, but you'se TUFF and SPOIKY. Normally I wouldn't bring this info up, but...drat.



DAS VOTE! :science:

You decide to:

A. Get yourself a squirty-mind-controlly-juice-chute like you saw on that guy! Might be tricky but Imma nom him!
- 1. Just go for it you panzy!
- 2. I GOTS AN IDEAR!
B. I still want a shiv! Hunt down and devour the shiv-havers!
C. What's the deal with pointy red bits being not covered by the goop? Eat a dude with an extra one for answers. Maybe?
D. Write in!




Reminder that votes can be combined if there is a near enough consensus on the point. Maybe a mind control shiv or whatnot for A+B for example.
