Silly Message Board GamesA forum for any kind of quote games, continuing story games, "What would you do if?" games, or whatever anyone comes up with. Old threads will now expire after one month.
We need to start pointing points into socialization. If we make a habit of killing creatures from the inside out, we might be able to team up with the sweepers. No way we give them a free meal from our hard work.
Also, next chance we get we should pick Jet. We tend to charge with out horn, and Jet would help us pierce enemies more easily. At this rate we'll become large game hunters, which might become a problem when climate shifts make smaller animals better at surviving.

Hmm...St. Nil speaks truth. Even if the Sweepers are following us for an easy meal, it might do us some good to try to form a bond with these creatures.
Seconding the name, and suggesting we alter our plans to scream at the Sweepers ONLY if they try to take the part we're eating. Let's make it clear that we're the stronger of the two of us.
Unfortunately, we haven't even seen jets yet, so we can't actually evolve them for ourselves. We'll have to find a creature with better methods of propulsion before we can evolve that sort of thing. Or try REALLY hard to evolve something good.
Actually, when describing the Muks I didn't name any specific form of locomotion like flagella or cilia except for a set of holes along it's back and front sides that propel water through them. Not to burst your bubble, but the Muk you just killed used Jets to get around.
Anyway...
Keeping a close eye on the Sweepers, you decide to try to eat the disgusting creature, which you've decided to name a Muk, from the inside out. Using your horn, you plow your way through a large hole you made and it's not long before you've managed to slip yourself directly inside it. Seeing that you are very hungry, you decide to try to eat some of your kill. You fill your stomach with the Muk's disgusting organelles, but a familiar feeling overcomes you. It is the feeling of being poisoned, and you almost immediately vomit most of your stomach contents, causing the inner oozes to seep out of the holes you made.
Suddenly, scraping vibrations jostle your new corpse as something around five Sweepers begin to feed. You want to make something large and scary to keep the Sweepers away from your kill, but you seem to lack vocal cords or ears of any kind. Instead, you join in the jostling which causes the Sweepers to retreat off your kill. You exit the Muk, deciding that it's not edible enough for your time. As you exit, the Sweepers quickly exit off the Muk's corpse and hide in the Creepers again. You are still very hungry, and there are some nice Creepers around, though.
Put some RND into how such a big creature can move around (I.E., poke around its jet hole and try to figure it out), and then let the Sweepers know they can have as much of this disgusting catch as they like. ;p Totally worthless to us, but they should like it.
Then let's eat some Creeper Root, since we're starved.
Seconded Eating the Creeper that has no sweeper in it.
Yay Jets!
Seconded after eating, research how the Muk moved.
I figure that since we ate some of it, even though we vomited it out it should be good for DNA to grow jets. I also think that we might want to somehow form a symbiotic relationship with the Creepers after a while. We can let them grow on us and protect them from Sweepers, in exchange for food either by photosynthesis or just eating spare parts of them. We could even let them sprout in the left overs of the dead creatures we eat.
This is all longterm goals though.

Starved and with a disgusting poisonous corpse in front of you, you decide that the poison isn't good in your system and you immediately turn around to eat some Creeper root. The first bite you take of the Creeper releases a trickle of purple liquid, which immediately registers as tasty and edible.
As you are about to gorge yourself on the tasty Creeper, a sudden vibration tells you the Sweepers sneaked back out and are attempting to eat the Muk. As you turn around to see them, they quickly hide away in the Creepers, but since the corpse isn't edible to them, you back away from the corpse and allow the Sweepers to come forward.
At first, they are slow and wary, but as time passes, the Sweepers begin to sneak out in greater and greater numbers, until a swarm of about 6 or 7 Sweepers have engulfed the Muk corpse. Eagarly, as if they haven't eaten in quite a while of following you, they consume the corpse.
Satisfied, you gorge yourself on the Creeper root, spreading tasty purple goo all over the rest of the Creeper. Although you filled yourself to bursting, the Creeper was simply too large to eat all of it, and you end your assault on it when your stomach fills. A familiar cold tells you that you are injured as well as tired, but there's not really much left of the Muk corpse to sleep in. Active chemicals withing your body begin to jump and move as well, as your DNA is ripe for evolution. Although sleeping would be a good idea, you're afraid of what would happen if you went to sleep unprotected in this Creeper forest.
We can't. The list of "All Evolutions" are evolutions that we may get in the future. NOT evolutions we can take right now. We need to actually FIND those evolutions first.
Also, we need a horn-dug burrow. Let's find a natural patch of soft sand to bury ourselves in and rest.
For evolutions...Grow Jet, Grow .
This will allow us to use our horn to the best of our ability AND give us 360 degree detection so we don't get snuck up on.

I'm not quite sure what you're saying here. Do you simply want to Increase Mass? Or is there some sort of sensory organ that you forgot to type the name of here?
We can afford it, and it can help us avoid eating poisonous foods.

Ah, I meant to type Grow Ears. Hence the 360 degrees of sensory perception that doesn't come from being able to feel vibrations, which is lackluster at best.
In order to get rid of the excess mass you just consumed, you decide to split, creating another member of your very rare unnamed species. As you do so, the DNA within you begins to jumble, and soon you feel a rapid surge of mutation flow over you. When the rate slows down, you find that you have developed some strange holes along your sides that you can sense vibrations in the water through. You also feel quite a bit lighter, as two tunnels have formed through you that are covered by flaps. When you attempt to use these, a massive jolt of water channels through them, making it so that you move much faster now.
Very tired from a long battle, you find a soft area of sandstone, which happens to be under a large Creeper, and create a small burrow in it using your horn. Before long, you are well hidden from view, and fast asleep.
When you wake up, the bright blue light in the sky is missing, and instead, a strange mixture of yellow and red light dimly illuminate the forest. Despite the dim light, your primitive eyes can't see in this darkness very well, and the entire Creeper forest appears to be dark. A strange squeaking noise startles you, until you notice the small tailed tube shape of a Sweeper pass by.
The night world of Agaman is out there, and who knows what creatures stalk the dark forest?
