Streetlight Dragonflies

I'm going with the city slicker writer.

He was picked on by homicidal bullies as a child cause he was a nerd.

He moved to Maine.

He made up books about having psychic powers. Becoming successful.

He moves to this new town following some death threats by an excessively fanatic fan.

He umm... looks at tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Drinki…... befriends an elderly fellow that may also have psychic powers.

No seriously, I'll be a writer.

A tale of three moons- Looking for a co-gm as well

Do I need to change my race?

Streetlight Dragonflies

Weary sheriff, or young adult that never could just leave town...

Or rich novelist in town for his dead aunts will reading that inherits him the spooky house on murderdeath lane.

Streetlight Dragonflies (surreal modern fantasy)

The Skies of Elysia: Airships, Aliens, and Adventure (Closed)

Wondering If I should gather up all the info from the chat and add to the tabs.

A races and airship tab would go far and everyone's been pretty damn creative with them.

I am sometimes a little vulgar

Welcome back, I hope you have some great stories!

Edith seemed to harumph. "Please, I have been around for a few days." She guessed she was in a quiet part of the cave but she wasn't going to tell him that. She told him what to do. "Train. Okay. Yeah, I can do that." She seemed to take a deep breath as if getting ready to stretch. She focused on where her arm might be. She was kind of a mess at the moment, crawling if she could image. She needed to. "Think ball. You are a ball..." She had to go for simple. A ball was simple she was almost a ball herself. She tried to get the shape, tried just make a rounded edge.

She kept trying, straining underneath, taking a breath, then trying another way. "You are a ball. You are a ball..." She repeated that word several times. It was only when she actually relaxed, flexing one part of her and letting the rest of her catch up that it seemed to fold over her a second, she was taller, more round. "Wait.. wait! Oh my god! Asura, I think I diiiEEEIII!"

She was round, but she was round on a hill and because of that she rolled backwards, she spattered on a rock or two before she rolled right into the deep pond of the cavern. She skidding like a stone over its surface, but that was all that happened as she bobbed in the water like a booey. The water didn't even do anything to her complexion. After her 'heart' was no longer thumping she took stock of herself. "Okay... in the water, I'm good." She told her companion before she flapped her body like some kind of worm to try to paddle back to shore. Slow going but she made it. She actually was aiming to where there was a bit of sprouts of plantlife, it was only of those leaves that Asura had with him and she wanted to get one for herself. Rolling into a teeny tiny little pool on the rocks, she finally reached it. A moment later she had a leaf... and incidently two little minnows. Never know when you needed a tiny fish. She ate one, leaving the rest away from her gullet.

She began to make the climb back to Asura, making a note to be on flat land when she tried that again.

"E-excuse me!"

That is when Edith flapped in the water, only the rippling of the liquid seemed to greet her, but she could have sworn she heard something echo across the Cavern. Edith would have waved her hands to Asura. "Did you hear that?" Asura said they weren't alone. And regardless she couldn't really quite get a bead on where the voice came from, reverberating through the cave.

She had no choice, she answered back. "Hello! Come to the water!" She called, her voice echoing in kind.

She tackled the rat a little quicker than she intended to but her cravings were voracious. She still hated the taste but anything was better than being hungry. She let it roll into her mass as she listened back to him. She bobbed, an attempt to nod. "Progenitor, like... a slime... mom?" She then took off, making their way back towards the same vein. "Hmmm..."

"I-I think I did too. I was a mother... maybe its an instinct or... whatever. It hardly matters now." She wondered how she was going to be any help. "So rats are bad news, no surprise there. If it came down to it, I took tai-bo three times a week. Yoga twice a week." She said confidently. "So I guess I can give someone a mean punch... or I did. Gah, this form is useless without arms! What am I supposed to do, hug someone to death?"

She looked to him hoping he would actually give her an answer, even if she did, she went ahead and stopped thinking for a moment. "Okay, well, lets see... Slime mother... Hey, uhhh" She looked back, her body flopping. "Still don't know your name. But did you notice that we pick up the mold when we roll over it? This mom makes slimes right, and they go out to eat like we do. So I think we need to look for trails of mold that was eaten away. If we can find a bunch of trails, maybe we can figure out where Slime mom is. Atleast narrow it down. What do you think?" Her calculating mind at work.

The Night passed...

Items Lost: Goblin Remains
Dire Rate Remains

Sleep came a bit hard for Edith. The more aware she was getting, the more things nagged her. Now she was recalling the voices she'd heard after her argument. She felt the anger, the hate, the betrayal of her daughter before hearing a smug over bearing voice tell her how things are done. How she was his, and how she was to pick her fate.

Why a slime? Was she brainless? That was a retorical question.

Considered the human look of a pixie or goblin, surely that would have been more her speed, but a slime? They were tough, they could eat... envelope... absorb everything. That must be why she did it. She wanted things. Her kids back, her life, and now they were gone, but she still wanted. Now, she wanted power. But how? Eating she could only guess.

She woke up feeling not quite herself. While he didn't try to absorb her, she tried to absorb him in her sleep. She woke up enveloped over one side of his body, merged with it. It was a weird feeling, and the moment she realized it she pulled away with a terrible hacking cough. He'd be no worse for wear and she'd just more shocked by the surreal experience. "Blach ACK!" She rolled around trying to get the taste of slime out of her... slime.

"Ugh... the hell was that?" She shoke it off, looking in his direction and seeing him essentially normal despite things. She seemed rather embarrassed. "Morning. Another day in paradise." she said sarcastically as she turned to face the tunnel they entered. "You got a plan for today. Cause I say we find more Soulled... or food. Thats probably the best way we get bigger, better. So it's come to this. We're amoeba." She sighed. "I used to be somebody, looked like a supermodel, had an entire branch under my name. What a ridiculous joke this is."

@Kazemitsu

"Soulled huh." She repeated, trying to piece everything together.

Yeah, she had to think back. It was painful to think about but her son played video games. Things she always thought was ridiculous and a waste of time. Thankfully he was just as loud as she was at four years old. Its the only time she remembered things like goblins. So she had to think back.

"Its all I can ask for. If we can find more soulled beings, no matter what they are, then we'll be better off. Leave that part to me. You keep us safe, and I'll make sure we get the upper hand. Trust me." She treated this like just another business deal, like she's been doing a thousand thousand times before. Negotiations don't change. Never had, never will. She took the piece of rat rather greedily. More meat, more strength.

"Understood... but I wonder if this body can hold a few tricks... We'll have to see. Maybe it can be like jelly with enough fruit." She mused but noticed her companion had settled... for lack of a better term. She guessed this is where they rested. She tried to find a spot and do the same, their slimes touching on one side. For security of course.
