Ooze (Interactive)

[Kurien]

Yes, maybe the magic box will respond to further antenna manipulation. It should try that again. (It is clearly inorganic and non-animate, haven't we learned to ignore nomming those kind of things yet?)

[Andre]

I'll be honest here, someone care to explain me why should we follow logic and rationality when deciding upon the actions of a simple-minded (us) ooze?

[One for 'Squeeze inside the strange box and become one with it' here]

The ooze does not only have a simple mind, it is also contacted by several demons.

I am one of the demons, and i plan to use this ooze to spread evil throughout the land, possibly destroy/enslave it.

New update, now with even more green - Fiddle with the wiggly jiggly again.

You mess with the thing again because it's not like you have anything else to do.

*Ting*
A small crack appears on the screen.


Bad words!

A rather angry if not high pitched voice emanates from inside the box.

[super dark33]

Oh no he didnt!

Burn it down!

[The Random NPC]

Run! Run away before the obviously magical box demon noms you for breaking the box!

[super dark33]

But he hurt our Hon'or!

[Mina Kobold]

We are an Ooze, attacks on our honour only makes us wiggle and look silly! ^_^

I vote we try to calm the poor box, we did seemingly hurt it after all. Maybe we could sing or make other musical noises to it?

[Razanir]

It swore at us? Kill it with fire!

[Savannah]

I suggest we apologize and ask how the voice got in the box.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

2 for burning the TV
2 for apologizing / Calming it down
1 for running away

It's a good thing we tied instead of going with burning the TV. Because that option that would have probably killed us. You guys wanted to set a fire inside of a bush? I'm casting my own vote for the second option to break the tie.

New update, you wanna fight about it? - Apologize to / Calm down the Box-monster

Spoiler

Show

You, being a horrible coward by nature, flee towards the edge of the hedge and apologize to the presumably evil box.


Nothing happens..


Suddenly, a pair of luminescent amber eyes gleam through the small vent at you.

[super dark33]

Genarate a muscular boot-monsteroid arm and use it to manhandle a nearby branch, giving it to the Box dweller.

[The Succubus]

Sheesh, I can't leave you people alone for five minutes without you almost killing yourselves....

Logical thought time:

1. Consider our TV friend's point of view. He has a limited field of vision, not helped by the fact there's a grill in the way.
2. We fled into the bushes before he looked out towards us.
3. This would suggest we weren't seen.
4. He's heard a voice speaking to him.
5. Is he wondering why the bush is suddenly talking to him?
6. If he was asking for a branch a) why didn't he get it himself and b) what exactly could he do with the branch behind the speaker grill?

My suggestion is that we slowly emerge from behind the leaves so as not to freak him out and try speaking with him.

[Razanir]

Sheesh, I can't leave you people alone for five minutes without you almost killing yourselves....

6. If he was asking for a branch a) why didn't he get it himself and b) what exactly could he do with the branch behind the speaker grill?

*As the ooze was about to jump off a cliff*
a) Because he's obviously trapped in there and can't get out...
b) Not much. Which is why it sounds safe.

Give the creepy eyes the stick they want!

[Savannah]

I agree with The Succubus. And if it turns out he wants a stick after all, we can always get him one next time.

[The Succubus]

I agree with The Succubus. And if it turns out he wants a stick after all, we can always get him one next time.

I've just had a thought about all those calling for the stick. I don't know what the natural dexterity score is for an ooze but I have an awful feeling that if we attempt to pass a stick through a very narrow slit from a considerable distance away, there's a good chance we're going to jab the TV creature in the eyeball. And then he'll be *really* pissed. =/

Please change your minds, stick fetchers.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

2 for 2 again, I wish you guys would stop voting ties all the time. I flipped a coin to make an unbiased decision.

New update, may cause non-motion sickness - Ask what the thing in the thing wants the thing for.

Spoiler

Show

You slowly approach the vent and peer inside at the glowing eyes.

[The Succubus]

Logical thought time:

1. Now that it's clear TV Boy wants a stick, the question is why he wants it.
2. The second pictograph makes it clear he wants to wave it around at something.
3. Or someone.
4. He was very pissed when we messed up his TV signal.
5. If we hand him a pointy stick, is he going to turn us into an ooze kebab?
6. On the other hand, he may want to just adjust the aerials from where he is.

My suggestion: Hand him a stick a) making sure we don't poke his eyes out and b) making sure he can't poke OUR eye out afterwards.

[Savannah]

I was thinking he wanted it for a replacement antenna -- for the one we presumably broke. Other than that, I agree with The Succubus' suggestion.

[super dark33]

So as i said, fetch a stick.

[The Random NPC]

I agree with The Succubus, fetch the stick while making sure no eyes get poked.

[Elemental]

I just agree in general.
Whatever we do, let us poke nothing in the eye and let nothing poke us in the eye.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

Wow, telling people to agree with each other actually works. Who would have thought.

New update, not safe for pregnant women - Get the thing a stick

Spoiler

Show

You decide to get the odd thing the stick it requested. After a few moments of searching, you find a short stick laying in the hedge and pull it out.

You slide the stick through the vents making sure to avoid impalement on either end in the process.

There. You continue to wonder why it wanted the stick tho-

*krschk* *Krsschk*
A light shines from the end of the stick as the air begins to crackle.


"We now return to our feature presentation!"

[The Succubus]

Logical Thought Time:

1. Yeah, I don't think it takes an expert in linguistics to recognise "naff off before I zap you" here.

2. I think we should take the hint.

My suggestion: Naff off before he zaps us. Duh.

[Savannah]

I agree with Succubus again.

[Mina Kobold]

I find that logic to be demonically sound, I agree! ^_^

[dethkruzer]

I suggest we set it on fire.

[super dark33]

Walk away.

I really want to eat somthing big, when will we meet a wolverine or somthing?

[Tiffanie Lirle]

New update, cry some more - Run away!

Spoiler

Show

You, still being a coward, run away.

Again.

You stay outside the bush for a moment, waiting to see if anything will happen.

Nothing does.

You can't help but feel slightly agitated at yourself, as you think about how your fear of the unknown has probably made you miss out on another opportunity.

Whatever it may have been.

[The Random NPC]

Vow to no longer be afraid of the unknown, then cower at the unknown possibilities now available.
