Ooze (Interactive)

My vision for the future is a technically advanced ooze.

Spoiler

Enough of this railroading! Screw the treasure chest, I'd like the ooze to go hit on a moray.

[Tiffanie Lirle]

New comic I rushed to finish so I can finally go to sleep. - Investigate the chest

Spoiler

You look at the Boot-Monster boot-locker you've sunken next to. Other than the unusually large keyhole, it seems fairly plain.

Your quick look tells you that the chest is Iron bound and made of thick wood. The fact that the wood isn't rotted and the lack of algae on it's surface suggests to you that it's not that old.

It's safe to assume that having the key would be one way to open it. Though there are probably alternatives.


Slowly but surely, you start to feel a slight pressure in your body.

Your air is running out.

[Savannah]

Well, in that case, we should swim up to the surface and get another breath of air before we do anything else.

[DoomITP]

I've thought it before so I'll say it this time. I absolutely love your art Tiff.

Some thoughts to consider:

1) We jumped into the lake and sank.
2) This means we cannot float.
3) Which means we probably cannot swim very well.
4) Unless we are near a lake bed slope, we cannot climb out.

This leaves us with the sole option:

* Eat a fish so that we can breathe underwater.

While I'm reluctant to lose our fire ability, it is no use to us right now and it will be no use at all if we're dead.

The lake may be home to amphibious creatures, allowing us to breathe again on land.

If it's true we retain traits from previous forms, then we may still have the ability, after nomming a fishy, to breathe on land and water.

[super dark33]

Attempt to swim up.
if cant, eat a fish.

So, can it trap some air to create an underwater bubble? Some beetles can. Would be cool.

Extra long comic today because you guys are awful at this.

Spoiler

You understand that you need to act fast. Luckily, you see a fish just behind the grass to your side. You do your best to sneak up on the denizen of the deep and lunge forward!

Unfortunately, do to a combination of your bright flame giving you away and the fish's own clear advantage in water, it gets away.


You blew it. Literally, as the last of your air escapes from you. The world goes dark. While you slowly sink into the oddly soft ground below, you hardly feel the icy water stirring around you.

Spoiler

Just kidding.




You freak out when you wake up to see a masked Boot-Snake-Monster leaning above your very not drowned self. It's currently staring, giving you a look of mild interest.

You seem to be laying at the edge of the water. It's a new day and the sun is shining brightly.

White text below, read after comic.

Thankfully I planned ahead for this from this very first underwater comic and hid Boot-Snake-Monster lady in there. You don't get anymore freebies though. This was the only ace I'm going to pull out of my sleeve.

Don't screw it up. :P

[Razanir]

Make out with it! Maybe that's enough to steal powers

[The Succubus]

In our defence though, we didn't know we were going to leap straight into a deep part of the lake. I thought we were going to gradually wade in from the shore line. >.>

Ok, so we've been rescued by a very pretty Boot-Snake-Monster-Lady. As always, let's do a little thinking:

1) Steer clear of lakes and be *really* specific about how we do things in future.

2) If BSML was going to kill us she'd either have left us in the lake or done it by now. Same applies for being eaten.

3) It's not unreasonable to assume that she is a nice person, or at least not an immediate threat.

4) We owe her, massively.

So, perhaps we should try talking with her or at the very least give her a hug for saving our life.

[Elemental]

Agreed.
Hugs for the unusual creature who rescued us.

And perhaps we should get a safe job as an accountant.

I blame the schools, they are unable to provide young people with whatever they need to overcome the challenges of the real world as an ooze.

By the way, if that nets us longer and high quality comics...
(one vote to burn her top off right here! Oozes need some booty-monster too)

[super dark33]

cuddle with the boot snake lady, thank her and wander away.

[Keveak]

I agree with the hugging suggestion. Even if we will have to dart away to escape boot-monster doom, we still have to thank it! ^_^

Trying to talk might also work, depending on how quickly the snake-boot turns evil. :3

[Tiffanie Lirle]

New rushed comic

Spoiler

You decide to hug the strange creature for saving you, because that's how you roll.


" Y-You dummy, it's not like I like you or anything.. "


And with that, the tsundere Boot-Snake-Monster lady dives back into the icy brine. Leaving you alone on the beach.

[super dark33]

walk down the up road.

[Crimmy]

Walk up the down-up road.

[Razanir]

Meh. Just follow the road. I would suggest chasing after it, but swimming didn't go too well last time

[Tiffanie Lirle]

New comic, continue down the road.

Spoiler

You hop with an absent mind down the road. You're not quite sure where you are anymore or where you're actually going. But you don't really care at this point.

You look up to the side of the path.


You see another Boot-Monster way marker. This one has a shiny noise maker tied to it!


You aren't too sure as to what to make of this..

[Andre]

Nice, nice. Persuade the first creature passing by to ring the bell and then rush to hide behind that stone.

[super dark33]

Burn the sign down!

[Razanir]

EVIL Fantastic Prizes sounds fun! Ring the bell!

[Crimmy]

Yes, yes! Evil! Get Fantastic Prizes!

[Elemental]

Why wait for a prize? Steal the shiny noise maker.

[Keveak]

Oooh, shiiiny. @_@

I say we poke it and see what prizes we get! ^_^

[The Zoat]

Eat the bell.

[The Succubus]

This is a terrible, terrible idea...but ring the bell. -.-

[Elemental]

Okay okay... We ring the bell.
And then we steal it. When the people who put the sign up come and ask us where their shiny noise maker is, we say we never saw any noise maker, but we heard one just as we were coming up to this sign.

[super dark33]

okay, ring the bell.

but if the incomeing creature is humen, BURN IT!
