E. Swamps are cool and we can grow as big as we want if we have deep deep taproot and all those insects will be delicious when we developed enzyme secretions and hair trigger snap pods.

An impassioned Plea Goons! Nerds! Friends! Lend me your ears! Many things may happen on our journey to greatness. But all greatness starts at the roots. Therefore, where we place ours shall be our greatest concideration. Across the continents we have been carried; and we are lucky our guide was not, itself, incontinent. And now, we find that we must be placed the greatest place. Hear me out, for but a moment, and i shall describe to you how a giant tortoise, in its majesty and glory, shall be the greatest place. For what is greater than a tortoise? Is it not known that among all that lives and walks and breathes (that is, animalia, the lower order of being), turtles are the slowest and most guarded? Are they not therefore most like the greatest and noblest things, the trees? And is it not known, also, that a turtle's shell has been pressed a hundred times from pure aether to become a turtles shell? Are not turtles known for their wisdom of word and their nobleness of action? does it therefore not beroot us to to place our roots and our Divine & Ever-glorious being upon a turtle? And think, i beg you, of the possibilities that come with such an enlightened and most wonderful placement of our roots. Rare is the tree that journeys but once within its Magnificent and Most Worthy life; and and here we, most noble and exalted goons, may choose for ourselves a place which shall let us move from place to place, free from all restriction; a fortuitous coincidence such as spoken of only in legend; by setting our roots in upon and animal such as a turtles, whose many virtues and nobleness of nature and of soul has already been expounded upon, do we not so likewise invite the superb and incontestable power and destiny of such legends? Consider, also, our other options: upon a mountain side, storms and wind shall batter up and mayhaps rip up our trunk and root. Is it not better, then, to sit astride a wise and most philosophical beast which seeks its own shelter? In a meadow, we shall never know true glory. Whosoever heard of a glorious and wonderfull tree such as that which we must become living in a madow? or a simple lake? And in a corpse o trees upon a plain; well, such a place must surely a our leaves are green know much strife and competition; and if the plain is not a forrest, there must be few resources and soil ill-suited for our destiny. As for a river delta, well, have you not heard that at such places live the most ferrocious and undignified monsters? shall we forever have our soil soiled with their filth and violence an blood? And, as far as islands and oasies go, well, of those i need hardly speak. for we must have our destiny and glory wondered at and admired by the greatest and Most Worthy lives, those of our fellow trees. It is for these reasons and others that i, with a most serious mind and the most astonishing passion, implore you, my dear fellow goons: VOTE TURTLE!

A+ for effort. Are you promoting a tortoise or turtle? Because a turtle would kill us pretty quick.

Throwing in with C I suppose. As much as I'd like the potential and mysteries of the mountaintop, becoming the wise old sage-tree atop the mountain, being above the timberline is just a bit too concerning. We might end up quite tough, but spending decades desperately clinging on to get to that point doesn't sound all that worth it. Tortoise would be cool under the right conditions, but I worry for what happens to us when it gets into a fight. Still wonder about the island, being King Tree on our own island could be pretty awesome, and we might make friends from the sea. Plus, really, we should also be wondering about human habitation here. Lakesides are prime targets for logging due to the ease of transportation the water provides. Mystery island could be safe. But it too seems like a pretty big gamble, so I'll go with the safe and cool bet for now.

Voting is closed. Sudden death vote between lake or swamp. Giant tortoise and witch's garden both made good efforts but came up just a bit short.  You may get some interesting visitors though!

In answer to Erghh's question: "Oh you know I just followed the buzzing of my favorite snacks and next thing you know here I was and I thought 'wow, look at all those trees. Trees must really like it here' and so here we are!" Pete has dropped you in the middle of a river delta swamp. Water is everywhere, but competition for virtually all other resources is fierce. It's likely to be crawling (literally) with all sorts of life, some friendly, some hostile. There's just a slight tinge of salt in the air. Normally dropping you directly in such an environment would mean your unceremonious and immediate death, but Pete at least had enough sense to drop you on a slightly elevated dry patch. Hopefully it's a flood year, and not a drought year. Oh, and one other thing, your immediate surroundings have a somewhat unusual feature.  kindly ignore the human, thank you Oh! And Pete left you a gift of sort. You should probably decide what to do with that. It's poo poo. No I don't mean it is a bad gift, I mean the gift is his poo poo. It's chock full of the good stuff and that means adaptations. As it stands you still bear all the features of your isolated plains upbringing. You'll do best with a moderate amount of water and all the sun you can get, and you'll grow out and up at equal rates. Your roots will seek to grow more out than down, and you have a massive resistance against uprooting via wind. You do best in neutral soil with low to no salinity. There is a shitton more water here and a good deal less sunlight than you are used to having. Tall trees loom not far away, though luckily whatever event caused the giant's skull to be placed here also cleared away some of the competition, so they aren't an immediate danger from them (and they haven't even noticed your arrival, the fat bastards). The soil is moderately salty and very acidic. Pete's poo poo is practically magic, and will let you take three adaptations. Pick one. The top three results win. A) Water! Change your internal structure to both tolerate and take greater advantage of a large abundance of water. B) This tree has nowhere to go but up, up, up! Make it so that you grow taller faster than you grow wider. C) You're in an expansive mood. Make it so that you grow wider faster than you grow taller. D) gently caress the sun, who needs that guy anyway? Make yourself less dependent on sunlight, start developing means of gathering energy that don't rely on photosynthesis. E) I tried to think of a funny way to work in a spinaltap->taproot joke but it just didn't happen.  Grow your roots down, more than out.F) Who says roots have to go in the ground anyway? Have your roots grow so much more out rather than down that they're practically a web on the surface, like some sort of shameless harlot. G) Get salty. Increase your tolerance. H)You feel the burn. Become more tolerant of acidic soil. After enjoying Pete's poo poo gift, you begin to unpack and adjust to your new home. What would you like to prioritize doing in your first few days as a tiny little shoot? I) Get the root network growing faster, really dig in. J) We're gonna need more leaves. Lots of leaves. K)Make allies amongst the small creatures, the worms, nematodes, and insects. Cut deals with spiders. L)Try to make yourself known to the trees around you. M)Focus on your core. Grow your main body more. N)Listen! You might learn of secret knowledge, or hear terrible things that you need to know about. Things a tall tree might not hear. paragon1 fucked around with this message at 02:13 on Mar 19, 2016 |
