Crying out and trying to wiggle out from under the heavy body Nathair bites the animals eye and around the eye over and over pumping everything he can into it as that gland inside his body pumps something into his body making him move faster and the pain easier to manage. Soon two glands inside him were pumping making the pain easier and his body jittering. His claws claw at the creatures body as his body slaps and twists trying to get around and out from under the weight of the thing.

@Nathair: The slime missed badly; but that was because it was wedged in between the creature's shoulderblades, and it wasn't long enough to be able to reach its face. The weight being smooshed on top of the slime would have been able to do in most creatures, or so the slime figured from its previous encounters from various things, but the slime was instead able to counteract this and finally summon the strength to push the thing off of itself at least enough to climb out from under it. Was the creature even moving anymore? The slime didn't think it was, now that it was able to stand on the ground on its own and take a look.

standing tall and looking down at the creature Nathair keeps his mouths open as he watches it. Standing still he takes in its long scaly body and slowly moves his heads forwards and down towards it. Hissing softly he strikes with his snake head and pulls back quickly after giving whatever this creature was a scratch. Waiting for it to move as he pulls his tail in under himself.

@Nathair: It didn't move. This thing was huge, though the tall organic things that didn't move were still bigger. Wider. Well, some of them were. The creature's external part was really... well, not HARD hard, not as hard as the tall organic denseness. Trying to tear some of it off wasn't as easy as the slime had hoped, but it was at least able to scrape some of it off but not enough to be of value. Maybe it should aim at a part that was less than perfect.

Don't update until Christmas.

Getting agitated Nathair moves forward more and bites at its eyes, trying to get his fangs under it to what he knows is a soft thing. Setting one clawed foot on the creature as he pulls and bites at where its eyes are he feels the start of a change inside him but before more than the start could happen it ends and he can feel that he cant change for a while, something inside him keeping as he is.

OOC @ Everyone: So, I've had a thought recently. Anyone know the "sphere grid" system from Grrl Power or Final Fantasy X? Well, I thought Azure Wyrm could actually use a sphere grid. I won't say what much of anything is at all! But each player would have the same sphere grid, though every slime would have different things highlighted/filled in. Thoughts?

OOC @ Everyone: Okay, so Booksv2 called me on skype (PM me for my info and I'll give you it) and we talked about this for two days, to make sure everyone else could understand it. Here are the fruits of that:

-Ignore everything about how the other two sphere grids work; it is just the overall total layout that is similar.

-Nothing is limited. The only "you can't get what they have" only exists in two places right now, surprisingly both the same player! Avialae's Vulpine is on Magistream, and has a magnetic skull. Aster is on Dragoncave, and has partially copper bones. These abilities aren't genetic so they can't be gained by eating her characters. You have to do what she did. The copper was simple; the magnetism was extremely complex and had to be done in a specific sequence.

-The circles won't have any labels at all. If you guys work together, you can eventually piece together what the whole giant super complex thing looks like, and label it yourself if you want (the NationStates thread asked if they can make a wiki).

-It's the same thing that Azure Wyrm has always gone off since 2006, just it's only been in my own head, and I never told anyone about it until now. So there won't be any gameplay changes; just you'll potentially be able to figure out a few abilities later on because of this (??? + spiderweb + ??? = able to make an egg that brings you back to life one time if your slime dies). Dragonfire is another super ability, that is a combination of a bunch of stuff. Fire breath is one thing, but to have it "dragon" quality is something totally different, and using this you can start to figure out what you're missing.

-Powerful abilities are the only things that will be on this grid. Putting every animal/plant would be ridiculous. So, it'll pretty much just be certain things that you need multiple things to unlock, or other circles representing abilities that can become more powerful with additional unlocks.

@Nathair: The slime's teeth hooked into the creature's eye and penetrated it, popping it and causing some sort of liquid inside to pour out. Some of it got into the slime's mouth, but not much of it. Attempting to tear the creature's flesh off wasn't as simple as the slime would have hoped, but it was able to work somewhat. The exteriormost flesh was just too... durable? But it was able to get off a little bit of it.

Biting at the things eye more and trying to pull it out Nathair stands on its hard to tear body. Spreading his legs and using more of the muscles in his tail and chest to pull on the outer skin harder. Growing low and trying his best he was only able to get a little of the punctured eye into his mouth, but it let him dig deeper into it and try to tear more of this one soft spot in this massive hardness.

@Nathair: (unlocked: crocodile teeth) The slime was finally able to start rending the flesh from the creature, getting small amounts at first, but as it tore more of the outermost flesh off, it was able to render more and more of it more susceptible to increased amounts of damage. But it didn't count for all that much, since there wasn't all that much flesh around this part of the creature. Maybe it should have looked for something softer, though of course nothing is softer than an eye. But different parts of flesh were probably softer or harder, right? The slime's mouths weren't really suited to this part, at least not now. And it wouldn't be able to alter itself for awhile still, it felt. Maybe just see what else it could bite on the creature...

Biting at the eye more Nathair finds something harder than the skin under it he is unable to even scratch well. The new dna in his body was making itself known, something about it resonating with little pieces of other types of dna and making itself known for a few seconds. Nathair climbs up onto the back of the creatures back and looks down at it. The whole body was covered in whatever this hard outside was and it was really hard for him to get through. Things from the past tickles him for a second but he ignored them, rather crawling down its body towards its mouth he pushed down on one of its lips with his foot exposing the teeth and gums inside the mouth a little.

Nathairs right head goes down and starts tearing into the much softer gums of the creatures mouth, pulling it off and eating it before pushing more of his head in trying to get more. His other head stays out, being left out of being able to because of not only its shape but also because a strange itching was starting deep inside it and it was having a hard time staying up in the air. The left head drops more and more to the ground as the itching turns into pain, starting from the inside and working its way outside. The pain causes him to stop eating and start crying out, looking down at the left with the right as it starts quivering and changing right in front of his eyes.

Each tiny change was excruciating, the pain intensifying and throbbing through his head. Slowly the shape changes to copy the right head, the open hole closing and becoming a mouth it gains a pig snout and he suddenly sucks in a breath of air catching the smell of whatever creature he had been eating. Throughout his new mouth fangs half way between cat and the new dna he gained sprouts out, each one strong and a bit thicker than before but also longer by almost half as much. The single eye gets several subtle changes making the light brighter and easier to see while not changing its shape. The pain from the changes his body didn't want to do made him fall to the ground and shake there, whimpering as the pain slowly subsides.

A while later Nathair pushes himself up on his two legs and shakes both heads, the motion making the pain rip through him again. What normally happened when he changed had not happened, rather he had used much more energy and a deep throbbing pain was still inside him because he forced it. A gland inside himself starts pumping making him stronger and easier to ignore the pain but also makes him much more hungry, the energy he had used and the pain making him angry. Turning back to the creatures mouth he pushes down on the side of it with both legs, using both his heads this time to rip into the much softer flesh savagely.

@Sevak: The other creature looked curious, but after the slime started making a rattling noise, the creature changed its posture right away, and made some low-rumbling angry sound. Then it started altering between the rumbly sound and a fast-loud sound that somehow sounded even angrier. The spikes growing on its back even raised up, now almost straight up instead of lain back.
((I am alive.... I swear))

Sevak noticed the change in the other creature and something inside itself told it that was a natural response to its own response. Great. So it was angry and scared too. The noise also was quite odd. It almost hurt, with the sudden alternating between the rumbly sound and the fast-loud. Especially the fast-loud. Sevak didn't like the fast-loud sound at all. In response to that, the oddly created slime rattled a little louder and instead of a hiss, produced a weird mix of a higher pitched noise from the mountain goat, deer and to finish it off, a yellow lab howl sound. The conglomerate of noise didn't last very long, but the weird howl-like, shriek-bleat fit right in between the seconds of quieter noise as the other creature changed its sound.

Hopefully that was able to get its attention. The slime adopted a less threatening position, having wanted to really see if it was able to converse with this creature maybe. It seemed intelligent enough to hold limited conversation through body language at least. Perhaps this creature knew a way out of this dry place. Or wanted to kill Sevak. It always seemed lots of the creatures Sevak was unlucky to meet wanted to kill him.

@Sevak: The creature's spikes were still upwards, but it moved closer. Not quickly, but it moved closer. Not that far away, now. It made another fast-loud high pitch sound, but it also howled. IT HOWLED TOO! This thing, its spikes on its back, they looked just like the thing the slime had consumed that had spikes on it. They looked identical. Its back, on its spine, was green. It was furry. Yellow fur. The... did this creature... The slime was awestruck. The creature's head was no longer low, no longer looking like it was going to pounce. Staring, walking around in a wide circle around the slime.

@Nathair: The fleshy part of the creature's gums was easy to tear off and consume, but the left head was useless, as was the slime's back end, right leg, and left claw. Still throbbing in pain. The creature's large and hard teeth weren't even able to be wiggled, let alone broken, scratched, or anything else. But there was something that looked a lot easier to eat then this annoyingly edible/not edible gum/jaw part. Inside. Inside, in between the rows of teeth.

Sevak uncoiled slightly as the other creature started to circle. As it relaxed, the slime too relaxed and uncoiled more. Soon the other creature could truly get a good look at the mixed up mess the slime had become. A functional but mixed up mess. The slime itself couldn't help but notice the creature had very similar features to itself. The spines were the same as his. The fur, well, that was from the lab even though Sevak didn't have the fur yet. The green seemed familiar too to Sevak. It was able to make a similar howl even. Was this another slime? Could that be it? Could he indeed have run into another slime? Probably most surprising of all, was that this creature decided not to kill him. Not yet at least, even though Sevak's uncontrolled actions had depicted being threatened and probably would have meant to get him killed if it were the Big Black Fluffy that had thrown him down into the Dreaded Nothing and down here. He still needed revenge on that creature too. Make it understand how terrifying the Dreaded Nothing could be. But maybe this area had already helped Sevak with that and that Big Black Fluffy had met its demise. Maybe even this new creature had taken care of that. Wouldn't that be something. Sevak tried its best to convey being friendly to the other creature in hopes of at least deterring being attacked now that it was uncoiled. He wondered what was going to happen next.

@Sevak: The creature stopped circling, and started walking closer to the slime, but not in an aggressive way. It started sniffing at the slime, and then sat down and stared at it. It made a small sound, and then seemed to become idle and wait. What was it doing? This creature had far too many similarities, that the slime already pointed out to itself, to be anything other than what it was. There were a lot of differences too, but the similar things were what stood out most.
It suddenly moved its head, and looked in a different direction. It made the small sound again, then stood up.

Nathair drops back a little and drops back to the ground. The pain was seemingly unending, throbbing through his body and making him want to curl up and form something new but the very idea of forming something more made him stiffen and whimper even more. Slowly, oh so slowly, the pain faded. As it did he could feel something from inside him. A sense of blood that he knew well, but concentrated in that softer thing behind those strong things. Pushing himself up and shaking himself Nathair turns back to the large creature and stalks over towards it, meaning to get inside no matter what.

Stepping back on the edge of the thing again Nathair pushes down hard and when it showed not only the strong things in his way but also the gums above and below. Lifting one of his legs and slashing back and forth across the gums Nathair gets angry and he keeps slashing harder and harder, something inside pumping inside him building his anger and strength both and making him light headed and a little dizzy.

Nathair goes to slash again and can feel some of his claws hook just under the top edge of the hard things and can feel it give only a tiny bit.

@Nathair: The damage the slime attempted to cause would have been laughable, though attacking the creature's gums, though soft... the softness was only very thin at the most, and the slime constantly hit the creature's teeth or jawbone, both were far stronger than could be damaged even a little. The slime, starting to become overcome with the potency of its own circulatory system, did get a glimmer of intelligence. This was stupid. It should go after something thicker or deeper inside. Mouths opened. A dead mouth could be forced.

Nathair slammed his feet down on where he had been trying to eat and opened his mouth to roar his frustration but nothing more than air came out. Shaking his heads and slamming his feet down again and again on the edge of whatever he had been eating he bites into the upper portion hard and digs his feet into the lower one.

Tensing up and pushing down with his feet at the same time he starts to pull apart from each other. Glands inside his body start pumping and flushing his body with them, two that had come together before pumped something intto him that made him so much stronger than he was. Jittery and pulling with more strength than his body normally had Nathair can feel hismself focusing down to pulling this jaw apart with all his might.

@Nathair: The heavy, armored mouth opened, and the slime was able to get inside. The creature had a gigantic and soft thing inside that was draped over the... top? of the creature's mouth, which was now the bottom since it was upside-down. That was probably a good thing, though it didn't really matter right now. This is what the slime was looking for! It could tell that eating its fill or more would be an easy thing to do at this point.

Pushing the jaw open more before letting go NAthair leans into the large mouth and starts biting at the large meaty thing that had been hidden inside. Taking two hard bites of it he jerks his head side to side pulling on it, tearing pieces of the meat off and lifting his heads up to let them fall into his mouths as well as his throat swallowing. Forcing the meat down his throat and into his body he drops his heads back down inside and starts eating it where it is, his teeth tearing smaller pieces off it and quickly swallowing it.
