A continuation from the previous thread, all you need to know? Some people got slimed!

http://suptg.thisisnotatrueending.com/qstarchive/2369023/

And here is a pastebin with all the information relevant to yourself, Slimy Sadie, and your improvements to yourself overtime;

So then, it has been a few days since your last run in with some orcish troublemakers and the situation where you (and the truth of what happened to you) became known to the academy you had been attending. After becoming a slime you thought it best to retreat for several days and go into hiding, but eventually with help you were able to reintegrate back into school without becoming some magical lab rat to be studied and blasted with spells.

Although... the accommodations leave plenty to be desired. Since you are made of slime and an anomaly for sure, they've decided to put you up for the time being in the menagerie with the other magical beasts. Professor Martelle was so keen on studying you, that she was only too happy to offer the place to house you. Fine as far as the other staff was concerned, so that you wouldn't be roaming the dorms and bedrooms sliming the place up. At least until they can be sure you're not dangerous.

"Wakey wakey Sadie, time for- oh right, you don't sleep anymore. Well, it's breakfast time anyway!"

It's not very dignified, basically being fed slop but it's all she has to spare at the moment, until they determine how best to accommodate you. At least it's an actual room and has a view though, and you're free to roam about anyway as long as it's within the menagerie. And the professor keeps you company (given how interested she is in you) not to mention people being allowed to come and visit you.

You ponder the day ahead then while dissolving the slop, and listening to the professor go on about some exotic magic frog while dancing about the place to feed the other magical beasts.

>How do you proceed?

where were we? returning to the academy ye?

Only speak with Martelle about the corpse thing. She's the only one who would even entertain our request.

>>2404290
So are we actually properly joining the academy classes yet or are they giving us a few days to settle in? Get uniform on as well as we can, ask Martelle if she needs a hand with anything today and wait for Carter to show up because of course he's going to.

Rolled 30 (1d100)

Exain to her that on hour time as a slime we have discovered certain anomalies with our nature, besides its uniqueness. Namely, we can evolve to an extent with the ingestion of sapient beings, as we have discovered from bandits and aggressive orcs. We don't know if it is limited to the brain or the whole body has to be involved, we know that animals, namely rats, don't trigger the same 'evolution' process. We know that the sapient being don't need to be alive when we eat them. We know that our mental disposition can affect the improvement, as how we could help our boyfriend thanks to our worry for his wellbeing.

Everybody alright with this explanation?

Also, do you thing we should ask for our corpse/bones?

>>2404290
Oh and have we checked how much academic knowledge we retain? Can we even read?

Slop is nice, but bodies are better. You wouldn't expect them to feed you living people, but maybe they could get dead ones?

"Professor... Maribelle, how about what I asked for? Some... people, to eat?"

"Oh dear no, hadn't we talked about this? There's simply no way I could ever fetch you dead bodies or anything of that sort! The arch mage would never approve, not even perhaps if it was for research purposes!"

Well at least you tried. She means well, but Martelle has never been well-respected by... well, anyone really for as long as you've been attending this institute. It seems there's just not a lot of interest in the study or care of magical creatures, which is what she is in charge of. Probably the reason why, even though she spoke in your favor, her word counted for very little in the final decision on the matter. You know that if it were in her power, she'd probably stuff you full of bodies and wicked people to eat, but she has little power at all.

>>2404330
You haven't really been given the full say or picture on the matter, but from what you understand they are first giving it awhile to monitor you and make sure you aren't dangerous, or just a monster parading as Sadie. Then, if things check out and you're not a risk or distraction to anyone, assuming you can pass a test of how well you can take to typical student life, then they will let you back to things fully and normal again.

On the matter of help though, Maribelle could use help if you wanted to tend to the basilisk and clean out it's den. She always has to take such care as to not die, but as a slime maybe you'd fare better?

>>2404346
Slime throw to the rescue!
If the small glob of us gets petrified we nope the fuck outta that task.

>>2404346
Ask if Martelle could investigate any alternatives that trigger the same effect. Eating cadavers obviously isn't ideal! But as it stands right now, our memory's in pieces, we don't even have a proper sense of touch and that's currently the only way we know how to do anything about it.

And yeah, let's muck out the basilisk pen but test if that will murder us first. Finally a chance to test Slime Friend.

Blue slime has its own room and Maribelle enjoys taking care of it as much as any of her animals. Using your new ability you can try to communicate with it, needing to make contact, but it's pretty disappointing. It doesn't have any more complex thoughts or things to say other than basic instincts like feed, attack, move, mate, defend, explore, etc... and you're hardly able to have a conversation with it.

>>2404389
>>2404375
You can toss a baseball-sized chunk of yourself in the den but the ability was not meant for what you have in mind so nothing happens. You also don't have the ability to split at will, so you're going to just have to risk it on this...

...and thankfully you don't die. Even though you're made of slime, you're still scared by the emergence and rapid approach of the basilisk, as it examines something new to its environment. However a few times you catch its gaze and don't just drop dead. Either this is because you're made of slime, or because you no longer have "eyes" anymore to see it by. In any case, it tries getting a taste of you before losing interest and slinking back elsewhere to the enclosure. Letting Maribelle know however, she's delighted and gives you the feed as well as letting you have free reign to clean up the place or what have you. However you care to help really.

>>2404389
>>2404426
While feeding and doing some cleaning of the enclosure, you think of some things to ask. By the time you're done and carry the food bucket back out, Maribelle is checking the wings of a phoenix but is happy and willing as ever to talk. You seek other possible alternatives to bodies then, if you can't get them, but you haven't much luck with her.

She will certainly not feed you any of her beloved creatures, and she hasn't much magical experience besides that, to the extent that would benefit you. She suggests checking with another professor, perhaps an alchemist or herbalist. Though, she can offer up any number of magical creature products or goods, just not any actual animals or otherwise to eat.

Well I got some questions prepared now.

I'd also like to adress that we should DEFINITLY get alcoholic flavour, so that we may acctually gain ethanol properties, like sterilization and the like of which to heal.


Ah. Right. Bored.

That's what you thought, they just grow and then split. But whatever it is thinking, isn't the same as that. And only in contact with you. Not that you'd have any idea, what do you know about slimes other than what you know of yourself?

Ah well, not that it matters. As for alcoholic flavor, that's not the same as actually having alcoholic properties.

In any case you ask Maribelle what she can tell you, anything interesting? You almost immediately regret it though when she happily launches into a long and complicated treatise on the differences between dire rats and giant rats. Thankfully, before she gets too deeply into the topic you hear the arrival of some others. As you may have guessed, Carter come to visit, along with two girls.

"Sadie? Are you doing better today?" one of them asks.

"Ariane, I already told you. She's not dying or anything." Carter responds.

Ah right, Ariane and Felice, two of your friends when you were human. You had a hard time remembering them, and didn't recognize them at all to begin with, but a few visits now and you're starting to get used to and recall who they are. All come to visit, several people have in fact though right now just these two along with Carter. They want to know how you are of course and just seek to spend some time with you, hoping to help, during their free time.

>>2404484
That had been under cleaning up the den. You can consume it as you would food, but it doesn't net you anything which would cause you to improve your capabilities. It does make you glow for awhile however, after breaking it down.

>>2404484
this

>>2404449
Well if she doesn't have anything she wants to do with us, maybe we should find another teacher. Can we borrow a pair of gloves in case we need to handle something and now slime it up.

Carter has previously made a habit of visting us so maybe we should wait for him to show up before we leave?

>>2404491
>I feel like a blob

>>2404491
>It does make you glow for awhile however, after breaking it down.
Would it be possible to learn how to store this glow? And could we also learn how to use it as magical fuel for spells or some such things?

>>2404491
if only they knew that their "Sadie" is really a monstrous hivemind consisting of a bunch of badly ajusted megalomaniacs that only refrain from eating them all for upgrades because of some vestige of sentimentality tempered with the concern of the staff turning us into mush

>>2404532
This is canon as far as I'm concerned

>>2404491
Ask Carter how he has been doing, did he heal well?

Also, how are the others, the school in general, taking the news about us? And those we saved, are they doing fine?

To our friends, how have they been doing? What about the classes? Is there somebody else of importance that we might not remember?

>>2404532
Come to think of it, the words "trial period" have been said a few times. We might have to cool it on asking for bodies for a few days to prove we're not going to go crazy and eat half the student body.

Kinda sucks for getting upgrades, but at least it gives us a chance to figure out the ins and outs of what we already have.

>>2404544
I'd be alright with slumming it for a couple of days

Who knows how many unfortunate saps you consumed before regaining sapience? Who's to say those poor minds aren't trapped bouncing around within your slimy mass?

>>2404502
That seems like it would be possible if you were to improve yourself in that way, yes.

>>2404501
>>2404537
You feel like a blob.

Carter though is doing just fine, the healing done to him set him right as rain again, for which he thanks and shows you, to the embarrassment of the other ladies present.

You greet your two friends though, how nice of them to come and visit. They are doing much better now that you're apparently alive again. Only people who didn't like you took your death well, so it makes sense that they would be quite relieved and happy to see you again, even like this. Classes halted for awhile because of the attack, but a friend to each class is taking notes for you now that there's a reason to. For those you may not remember, well there's probably tons of things you don't remember but then you can't remember to ask them either.

You are certainly the talk of the school though, the rumor mill churning night and day. It seems the news between you and the orc princess are in competition for everyone's attention and imaginings, and though the orc situation impacted the school more, magically your situation is more mysterious and suspicious. Some people are spreading nasty rumors too, of course, but Ariane and Felice tell you not to worry about that. They hope you'll do the same for Carter because he's half a mind to go bust heads, and he'd only listen to you.

>>2404563
Hmm... I do wonder...
Here an idea on efective storage of our goop. In the form of very, VERY long hair. And possibly voluminous too, reaching down to the bottom and being dragged across the floor if need be.
That will look faboulous once we get there...

But do tell... what rumours? Mind to spare some details? We are slime, I think we can worry about what people are rumoring about, like us eating people or something.
Hah! As if we'd ever do that.

>>2404594
Well if you don't want him to get to the bottom of it, he won't, but if he hears any of it directly he can't promise he won't defend your honor.

>>2404659
Your friends would rather not repeat the rumors but there's various ones around, some sentiment that you got what you deserved, that you're not even Sadie to begin with, that Carter has got some secret deal with the staff, and the worst of all that indeed, you've eaten people. The problem is there's some credibility to that since they found skeletal remains within the school after the attack was repelled of both orcs and a student. You get the feeling that if people were more aware of how you eat things, they'd hold you responsible without a doubt.

Most of the rumors are coming from people who don't like you to begin with though, particularly one circle of friends whom yours are something at odds with.

>>2404705
Really? Would be a shame of they just... Disapeared one day.
Totally unrelated question, can we dissolve human skeletons now?

>>2404659
>Here an idea on efective storage of our goop. In the form of very, VERY long hair.
>Not going for goo boobs.

>>2404705
Sulk a bit in anger. Maybe we can raise our temperature to a simmer and use it as a form of self defense.

Also, request an increase in rations to work on our goo storage options.

>>2404733
Nope, you can't yet dissolve skeletons. It would be nice if they disappeared though, for sure.

>>2404737
Rations like normal food to consume?

>>2404795
More like an easy to digest purée of meat/vegetable proteins and carbs formulated to promote growth, depending if they're okay with us increasing our mass. Although, a nice bowl of beef-and bacon stew with a fresh loaf of bread would be nice...

OOH, and an apple tart for dessert, piping hot from the oven, please!

Rolled 77 (1d100)

>>2404737
Because of course we should go for huge boobs instead of hair to create rumours of overcompensation ontop of all accusations.

We should REALLY pay our respects to the dead soon.
Increase our social abilities. Like less goopy texture. More looks. Holding a fork or objects. Clothes!

>>2404795
Well, we should get something done today. So at the very least slime distribution, so we are not a girl on a blob, but a girl... with blob... or other parts. In short, get on their level. Of heights. See what works best for storage. If we could sit on a chair that'd be great.

No idea what else to talk about.

>>2404834
You can't consume plants or plant products though, but if you want more meaty stuffs that's totally fine. Maribelle can't get you bodies, but she can get you as much food as you want or care to eat. Though it'll take a few days to get that approved and set up, but that's such a low request that she's not at all doubtful about it.

>>2404869
What size are we currently? Did we diminish a lot since we ate those orcs?

Got to duck out for a bit, just a heads up but will continue when I return.

>>2404934
Thanks to Maribelle, you at least haven't lost size, and are about the size of an SUV. That is, collected mass, if you draw all together, you are of course able to spread out or take on different shapes.

Did they place any limit on how big we can grow? Because that seems like a good thing to know to avoid being killed by mages.

>>2404964
Would it be possible to reduce our size by, say, compressing our slime? It would make it easier to travel and make us more durable.

>>2405152
They didn't give you any limit, but you can imagine if you start to grow too big they will let you know and/or warn you.

>>2404868
Well you have some of the skills and ability to be able to increase social skills, but not being able to leave the menagerie is a major hindrance there. At the very least it will make your case better, for you to be dressing in uniform and such again rather than being one step removed from naked merely because being made of slime.

>77

The best you can manage is basically to form your humanoid self out of slime at the appropriate size you would have been, and then kind of shove the rest of your mass away from you. However, considering you can only emerge up to your knees, and don't have the level of control which would specifically help for this, it isn't the best. It's kind of like you sitting on a chair, and then right behind the chair is visible a huge slimy mass.

Still better than just appearing as a giant formless blob, or a giant woman made of slime though. In your practicing you can thank your friends for coming by and wish them well, hoping to see them again soon. But did you want Carter to remain for anything?

>>2405206
>But did you want Carter to remain for anything?
Naw, we should be good. Just tell him not to get too sidetracked by our condition, and that we'll see him again soon.

After that, we should ask about that nutrient growth formula, then help out in the lab for a bit. Maybe clean out all of the pens of waste with our goo powers?

As for getting larger, let's aim for something the size of a dump truck, then practice making mini versions of us by dividing and see how long they last from our main body before they either become sapient or they just run down.

Also, goo tea party out of boredom

>>2405266
That's ridiculously big. There's absolutely no way we can compress ourselves back down into something normal human sized?

>>2405206
We're big enough to have trouble navigating building interiors, maybe we should consider fasting a little to find out if going hungry messes with our head.

Ask Carter to help with a dry run of school stuff? Identify where we'll have problems. Doors? What do we leave slime residue on? Are we going to need gloves to handle books? Can we still read?

>help out in the lab for a bit.

Think you may be misunderstanding, they are not allowing you outside of the menagerie, you're being kept in along with all the other magical creatures and monsters.

Maribelle would certainly appreciate you helping around the different enclosures though, some have chronic problems to them since they are magically different inside than it would appear. All of them are recreations of the appropriate climate (as you saw for the basilisk) and many of them are actually quite huge within. You can make a roll, a d100 for the success in your attempts.

>>2405291
How do you mean dry run of school stuff? That would be a yes though to all those problems you mentioned, particularly reading and needing gloves. You can understand language now and speak it, but not written form. And anything you apply any notable amount of pressure to gets slime residue left on it.

About half the enclosures you manage to clean out and shape up pretty well. There are a few though that are recurring problems for Maribelle and she would greatly appreciate your help with if you are willing. Of the number of enclosures, five have some issue with them which have rendered them troublesome. They are;

>Her dragon's enclosure was overrun with kobolds trying to serve and worship it.
>The magic barrier of the yeti enclosure broke so that it became an actual portal to the high mountains.
>A hole formed somewhere in the enclosure of the megalodon so seawater is leaking out slowly but surely.
>A demoness moved into the lava elemental's enclosure and has become a very bad influence on it.
>Some sort of hunting god came to occupy the enclosure of the white stag.

Are there any you have a preference to? Assuming you're in a helping mood, Maribelle would do her best to assist on any of them, her dragon too.

>>2405509
You decide to offer and help with the kobolds, since you're not sure what sort of effect a demonic entity may have on you, not to mention a place as hot as a volcano. The only downside is, this is the one enclosure her dragon won't venture so it's just you and Maribelle together.

She's ecstatic for the chance at help and finally resolving this problem, so takes awhile to get ready, leaving you to make your own minimal preparations. She returns looking like you're going on some long expedition voyage to faraway lands, laden with far too many bags and equipment. But to have become a professor here, she's no fool. So the two of you head through the menagerie to the mountain enclosure and she adjusts the door for the dragon. A magical whirling and blur of colors from within, and with an open you see some stony entrance of a cave large enough for a dragon ahead. Both passing through the door and Maribelle shutting it behind, you look around to find yourselves on a promontory jutting out of a mountainside and the cave within. Clouds and a setting sun visible across the sky, along with other mountain peaks in the distance, though from what little you understand there's only so far out one can travel before hitting the edge of this little "world".

"I'm not totally sure how they got in here, I think it was kind of like a reverse prison break! Whatever the case though, they bothered Dran too much trying to worship him that he just stopped living here. I love him to death but it would be nice if he had his own room again."

Kneeling to the rocky floor against the harsh winds, she rummages around a bag for something and pulls out a jar of bugs. Smearing the end of her staff with some grease, she lets the bugs off onto it as they skirr around and start to glow bright.

"Do you remember what I taught you? We did a few classes on them..."

Now is a good chance as well, to work out a plan if you have one before entering the large cave.

>>2405556
Simple plan.
Tell them to leave, they're bothering the great dragon.
And if they don't, eat them.

Plans? Who needs plans! Maribelle wants to take a chance to go carefully and explore, watch out for ambushes or tra- pfft, who cares about any of that you're made of slime! So you rush in the cave, looking to settle this matter as direct and quickly as possible. Not very far in and you start seeing light sources, torches and the like, and quickly following that traps triggered. You get hit by darts, chopped by swinging blades, squashed by clamping spikes. Through it all though you just reform.

Eventually you make it into a den if you had to guess, clearly a place made for the dragon to be able to sleep. A great big open chamber of a cave, ceiling higher that you can see. You can hear some activity, but it's when a big boulder rolls into place to block off the way you came in that the chamber lights up like the passage before it. Pretty soon you're surrounded by angry, scared and shrieking kobolds all armed but cautious towards you. Past them all and up on the raised spot where you'd expect the dragon to sleep, is a makeshift wooden scrap building. Very small that even as a a human you'd have trouble fitting into and only two stories but there on a balcony emerges a kobold king if ever there was one.

Many of them look to him cautiously, awaiting some kobold-speak call from him as some of them attempt to attack you but similarly no luck on their part. Maybe they think you're just a monster, but after you scare off some of the attackers by showing no ill effect, they hesitate and lean more towards trying to capture or understand you. They probably want a big pet slime, especially if attacking you doesn't seem to work. The kind chatters at them, but like the rest doesn't yet deem you sapient apparently. Hopefully they even know the same language as you?

>How do you proceed?

>>2405670
Try to pantomime the situation to the Kolbold king. If he decides to try to capture you, get to snacking.

>>2405670
...What plan had the teacher in regards to the kobolds?

As in, does she cares about their lives, think of them as a plague, or couldn't care less?

>>2405670
If they understand just go "You are bothering the great dragon, leave this place."

>>2405695
You know Professor Martelle tends to be quite the lover of animals and even monsters, though in this case the inhabitants here are squatting in a magic space and also make her look bad. That much you know, of the latter, since she's complained several times since you came to live in the menagerie about having it bad enough as it is without several of her workspaces unusable.

Chances are she would want to oust the kobolds peacefully, but she probably would't be heartbroken if you were to take action against them, violently.

>>2405680
>>2405706
You try signalling in case they understand it and even speak aloud to them. Your actions cause quite a stir as they come to realize you're not just a monster. They become a little less hostile, though what you're saying doesn't make it far.

The king responds to a kobold down on the ground in their speak, whom responds to you in quite broken language, that this is their "dragon home" now and only it can remove them. If anyone should leave, it should be you!

>>2405715
tell them to either leave or we will begin to eat them post haste.

Oh dear, you try to state your case and make a threat otherwise, but they only take the threat as it is. Or rather, the king doesn't like you making threats and causes a panic among the kobolds. Thus they go back to attacking you, this time in fear of self-preservation. They don't have any magic weapons, but without the initial hesitation they return in high numbers to harass you. At the outset you're not particularly worried, but it does occur to you that if this went on long enough, they could keep slicing at you enough to where they whittle you down to so many small pieces that they could just smash you into a dirty splatter.

Not like your life is in danger, but you also don't want to just sit around bored while they do their thing. How then do you want to launch your attack? How far are you willing to go?

Well now, maybe you can avoid conflict after all. You can lower your acidity so as not to harm them, and if any of the kobolds get too close you surge out to grab them. The little lizardfolk shriek and struggle, but you just throw them back. All the while you call out for Maribelle, although you did rush on ahead and are physically separated from her by the big blocking boulder... maybe she was close by anyway though, and will hear you.

If nothing else, you notice the king perks up to your mention of the dragon. After being told by his translator, of course.

Oh dear. Well you call out for Maribelle for quite some time, but either she isn't near, went a different direction when you got separated, or she can't hear or reach you past the sealed tunnel. It seems for the time being, you're on your own.

>>2405810

>>2405810
Look for another exit. Eat (slow moving) things between you and the exit. Repeat the dragon wants them to leave.

>>2405818
Exit? If there's an exit you're not aware of it. You can roll to try to find it, but you have no idea of your way around this place. Also, it should go without saying but the moment you start killing and eating, attempts to defuse the situation or still try diplomacy aren't going to go smoothly.

>>2405810
Let's just go full Slime on this one and eat them. Diplomacy can be tried with the Succubus and the Huntsman later.

>>2405828
OK so we can eat none of the kobolds, some of the kobolds or all of the kobolds.

There's a possibility this is some sort of test. Even if it's not, we might screw ourselves over with the academy if we suddenly double in size again so I think we might have to restrain our murderous impulses again. Kobolds are also very good at running away.

I think we might have to keep trying diplomacy, so if we screw up and have to eat some it's only mostly our fault. It's not likely they're going to leave the mountain enclosure entirely so we can always come back for more.

The goofiest case is they start worshiping and offering sacrifices to us instead of the dragon.

So get angrier with the kobolds: why have they trapped us in here and the dragon is angry at them.

>>2405865
>>2405863
Oh dear, conflicting goals.

>>2405865
Too be fair the kobolds have been attacking us for quite a while now. If the academy mages wonder we'll just say we were scared because a small army of kobolds was chopping us up into small pieces

>>2405867
ill break the tie. We retaliate as much as we have to.

>>2405865
>>2405878
>>2405880
Well if you want to try and get into a shouting match with the kobold king you can try with a roll. Maybe you can make a better case than he can for the conflict... or at least you can use their fear against them. If they end up being more afraid of fighting you than disobeying the king.

Though, it will be quite hard because as said, it doesn't seem many of them speak any of the languages you do.

In hindsight, we've been trying the nicer option for about half a dozen updates now and it's not getting us anywhere.

So yeah shout at the king, then if that doesn't work, eat some and chase the rest out.

>>2405899
To be fair it's not as though a diplomatic option is a wrong choice. It's just in this case, you barged in triggering all their defenses and traps, look like a monster, don't speak their language, and kobolds are often pretty skittish and fearful to begin with.

There are certainly better situations for diplomacy.

Once more, despite the frequent attacks of the kobolds, you attempt diplomacy but with little success. Again, the language barrier is mostly the issue here, so you're just jabbering on to them. You figure then, to try maybe to endanger their lives a little and hopefully that will scare them off; you're withholding your acidity and intent to kill anyone, so glorping some and either smacking them against the ground or holding them to near suffocation will cause enough distress that they don't linger.

Unfortunately before you get much a chance, you hear the rise of some faint calling from behind the boulder. Professor Martelle? Suddenly and sharply, in a magic blast, the boulder is sent careening back the way it came in a deathly roll... right in your way. You haven't the time to dodge really, as it collides and splats into you like a bug on a windscreen and carries you off with it. Including, along its path, right smashing through the little wooden "palace" house the kobolds built, the king audibly shrieking when the whole thing is smashed apart by the rolling boulder.

And so on you go, feeling terribly dizzy as you roll along, bumping, banging and tumbling through the cavern till finally coming to a stop... right at the edge of a drop off into a great gaping cavern to the mountain interior below. Caught on erosion where some underground stream seems to have been running for who knows how long (enough to etch away something of a little divet in the stone along the water path), the boulder teeters right at the small waterfall edge into the black below.

With the rolling stone at rest now, the inertia of Maribelle's magic force spell having rolled off, you're able to shlorp and reform yourself by unsticking from the boulder and dripping to the wet ground below. Already fallen off are a number of battered or dead kobolds, as well as a few also shaken or dead stuck in your body from the path of the boulder. It would seem that only because of your slimy mass splattering and covering the boulder, were any of the kobolds able to survive the impact at all to begin with, as they got hit and stuck to you and carried along. Though none of the ones whom ended up getting directly rolled over of course.

Most notably, the king, who peels off the great rounded stone and staggers around dazed and confused, within grabbing distance if you like. The rest, well it will be a couple of minutes at least before they can pick themselves back up and figure out what to do. No sight of Maribelle though or even the wide open chamber where you had been before, the boulder must have carried you all off together to some other inner, lower cavern of the mountain. Halting before tumbling over intot he abyss though, of course.

>How do you proceed?

>>2407467
Is the interpreter still alive? We might need directions to get out of here. Otherwise eat them all.

>>2407496
You've no idea if the interpreter is alive, but he obviously isn't here among the kobolds that came along for the ride. In any case though, you forgo any further interaction or ploys at domination over them, and just go ahead to kill and eat them all. Sure you could maybe try to get rid of the king so the others fall in line, or try to appear as a dragon or some other mighty force to inspire devotion.

But honestly? You're hungry, you always are. And after getting hit by a runaway boulder, you just want something to eat. So in their dizzy haze, you have little trouble just surging over the few living kobolds and merely drowning them in slime, no need for acidity as they eventually stop squirming and you begin to break them down. The dead ones too. At your size you can envelop to consume all of the ones here, but it will still take you the usual amount of time to break them down.

At least the view is nice, as you peer over the edge into the gaping black below, and listen to the trickle of water along the worn stone path. Whoever finds the boulder like this is sure for a hell of a time imagining what happened, too.

>Seven bodies consumed, one magical!

As it turns out, one of the kobolds at least was magical, perhaps some sorcerer living in the little ramshackle palace who got crushed when the stone rolled through? The rest though weren't, but you can still improve your capabilities. What might you be interested in? Available from the list seen here; >>2404264

Also for what it's worth, none of them really had anything. Or more likely, most of their belongings got scattered while rolling along, but the king had a fancy magic crown he'd been wearing if you cared to keep it.

>>2407713
Ok definitely want to see what's in the Slime category but I think we need some social investment.

So for a starting point how about 2 in Senses (touch and other stuff), 1 in Communication to hopefully rediscover literacy, 1 in Consistency (water balloon for less leaving slime on everything) and 1 in Shapeshifting (so we can move mass around better).

>>2407713
Take the crown with us, it would make a nice little memento of our adventure.

As for leveling up, put 1 in Communication, 1 in Clothing Adhesion, 2 in Glutton, and 1 in Schism.

Off of the magical kobold consumed then, you come to understand your nature better and a strange sense of self washes over you, of slimyness;

Slime
>Ringleader - By exerting your sapience, you can give orders to slimes you make.
>Type - In becoming more familiar with the entities known as slimes, you can change to become different types. Other such sorts include oozes, jellies, puddings, and more.
>Remote Sensing - The slimy connection is a strange one, but you are able to share senses with other particular slimes belonging to you.
>Monarch - Other slimes are sure to recognize your regal nature, and respond to you with deserved devotion.
>Corrupt - By intermingling slime with some substance, you can "infect" it to have slime within.

These are what you learn, under the new Slime category, with the next category you can imagine would be Mental. In terms of upgrades, again you have seven to spend.

>>2408628
>>Ringleader - By exerting your sapience, you can give orders to slimes you make.

>>2408628
Cool, now we're a royal slime!

2 in Monarch, 1 in Ringleader, 1 in Clothing Adhesion, 1 in Glutton, and 2 in Schism.

>>2408636
Yes indeed, that is one of the abilities that is available.

But you have seven to spend.

>>2408648
Wait, is it just select an ability and we learn it, or are there different levels of ability?

>>2408647
If these choices mean we can be our own army, then I'm for it.

>>2408647
Litteraly, we have the crown for it.
Monarch we can take later on, possibly.

But maybe we could work on that self image also, at least one point. Or so we don't constantly slime everything

>>2408628
Going to modify this:
>>2407743
Drop Communication, add Ringleader 1, Schism 1, Slime Friend +1.

We need to be able to produce and communicate with slimes to rule over them.

I'd recommend taking type, so we know what types there are. Type is going to be the most interesting ones to advance as I see it.
A communication level would be interesting, but taking sensory would be certainly more helpful on... well...

And of course self image. Self image, at least once. We should be abled to have legs.

>>2408654
There's always different levels of any ability, and different levels do more, and more advanced or powerful things.

>>2408672
Self-Image isn't what controls if you slime things or not, that's both Cohesion and Viscosity. Though the more you change those, the less like a slimy girl you are.

>>2408714
> less like a slimy girl
And... what instead?

>>2408712
Just a fair heads up in relation to Type, the basic idea for how it would work is, each of the Categories of your slimy toolkit, there is a Type which is characteristic of each Category and if you were to choose that and take on that type then all the abilities you have taken for that Category would be improved (while you are of that type) as well as the more special abilities of that Type. However, abilities of other Categories would take a penalty or be unavailable.

It's basically sort of a "Here's a situation or challenge that I need to take on a different Type, but if I do, that situation/challenge will be a lot easier while I do it!"

Though, to be fair, if you don't mind the penalties and spending more, there's nothing to say that you can't come to prefer a different Type and just stay as it and improve from there.

>>2408720
More and more solid. That's basically what those abilities are; less liquidy slime and more towards solid.

So, tally time;

>Monarch 3
>Schism 3
>Ringleader 3
>Clothing Adhesion 2
>Glutton 2
>Communication 2

So it looks like these, in order of choice. Of these remaining then of next most choice, pick one to count as the final seventh;

>Sensory 1
>Self-Image 1
>Slime Friend 1

>>2408863
>>Slime Friend 1

>>2408863
>>Slime Friend 1

>>2408863
Can I anti-vote clothing adhesion? It's nice to have but we're too huge for most clothes and I'd rather grab Sensory for a sense of touch and Slime Friend for better mook management.

>>2408894
>>2408881
Slime friend it is.

So about half an hour later, and feeling much more knowledgeable about your slimy condition, you've no need to spit free a number of kobold skeletons since you are now as much a Glutton that you can break down even bones. Just a few teeth, claws and such elude you, leaving them in a little pile by the boulder.

Without any kobolds to keep you here, you figure to get back. Maribelle is probably searching for you already if not tangling with any remaining kobolds, so you'd want to meet up again and wrap up the unpleasant business in this place.

Only... where to go, you think while setting the magic crown atop your head.

>>2408957
If you're too huge for clothes, you could always reduce size? Or get bigger clothes!

Also if it wasn't clear, in the tally post, the number after each ability is not the number of times it is being taken/leveled up, just the number of players that wanted it.

>>2408863
>Sensory

>>2408972
Trace the path of the boulder back to Maribelle

>>2408972
Hurry back to Maribelle, she might be in trouble! Or she might not, and there could be a bunch more kolbold corpses for us to eat.

Also, do we have enough time to work on evicting that demoness who's harassing the fire elemental?

>>2408972
Yeah follow the path of the boulder, the slime, smashed rock and kobold detritus it left in its path should hopefully be pretty easy to follow. We can climb after all.

>>2408982
I say we go after the hunting god. I wonder what effects it will have on us after we consume a god.

>>2408972
can we follow our slimy path back? or it has evaporated by now?

>>2408980
>>2408988
>>2409000
The boulder didn't travel in a straight path, it was only when it rolled along the eroded portion of the stone did it reach a predictable path. And stuck like you were rolling all around the place on it, you are very disoriented so just finding your way back or retracing the path of the boulder isn't really possible...

...unless you track your residue of slime left behind! That's actually a very good idea, just make a roll for it to follow the moist trail.

>>2408982
You have as much time to do whatever you please. Though how much time is left in the day when you return, and if Maribelle is still up to the task after one outing already, remains to be seen.

Sure enough, you are able to follow the residue left behind by your slimy self and track it all the way back to the main chamber, the closer you get the more you find debris from the smashed palace. And thankfully you can find Maribelle, cleaning up some of the mess she made by dealing with the remaining kobolds. With some sort of comprehension spell you would guess, she's able to converse with the lizardfolk and probably work something out now that their king is gone, dead. There's about ten left, with three dead either from the initial destruction of the boulder (before you were hit and made it all sticky) or from her defending herself.

"Oh thank the Gods, there you are! I was worried sick, I hadn't a clue where you'd gone off to. I thought maybe these kobolds had found a way to capture you!"

In any case, between her relief and the sight of the kobolds visibly distressed at your approach, you take that as a good sign. Indeed, Maribelle says that they're basically scared enough now not to want to dwell here longer. After this, she'll wait a bit while they make their rounds to find any others of their kind (whom fled during the attack or are simply not present at the moment) and then together you can escort them all out. She mentions offhandedly to you that she merely convinced them that the dragon they were worshiping had died so best to find a new one.

In any case she expects it shouldn't be more than an hour or so for them to gather their things, find anyone remaining, and then you can get back to the menagerie. You're not exactly paying the best attention though, eyeing the bodies hungrily, though you can't just start eating them in front of the professor and other kobolds, right?

>How do you proceed?

>>2409043
Offer to carry the dead bodies out of here and bury them while they search for any survivors and eat the bodies.

>>2409043
...We'll have to leave the leftovers to the rest of the kolbolds. Much as we'd like to gain more mass, we don't want to make Maribelle too nervous with our eating habits.

Although, we should request some lunch when we get back. She should have finished with our dietary request by now.

>>2409053
more skills get, bu if they refuse so be it

>>2409058
We can always lose mass if she starts to get suspicious. Also we have the higher ground here as she almost got us killed.

>>2409070
>>2409058
Slight favor of not messing with the bodies? You could eat them but passing that off in front of Maribelle is going to be hard. So in the end you leave it alone, waiting with her in the main chamber for a time to talk and whatnot, before the kobolds return overtime with their belongings or more of them. They also gather up the bodies, and together you march them out of there. Back out through the tunnel, past all the traps you activated, and out of the cave to the mountainside promontory. Ah, that view...

In any case you exit the magical space all together, where back in the menagerie Maribelle figure out how to get the kobolds out of here, basically setting them free to the countryside around here.

"Thank you dear, now Dran will be able to use his enclosure again. If there's anything I can do as a personal thanks, just let me know. This means a lot to me and no one else would have helped."

She's obviously grateful, and something to eat just as a courtesy goes without saying. You passing through the courtyard, you can see it's late afternoon after that little trip of yours into the mountain enclosure together.

>How do you proceed?

>>2409107
Let's go hunt the hunter god if Maribelle is not tired. Else we could ask her to teach us comprehension magic? Can we even do magic at this point?

>>2409107
ask her if there is some way for her to make us smaller or denser. We are already the size of a van, sooner or later we will run into troubles because of our size.

>>2409107
We should probably get started on that Demoness job, unless Mirabelle's too tired for today. If she is, we should practice our new goo powers, see if we learned how to read again, find out ways to store most of our mass in a portable, easy to carry manner, and think of ways to seduce Carter. Maybe we can convince him to take a a day off from his work so we can have some alone time together so those viper-tongued tramps won't be able to steal him from us, that sort of thing.

>>2409127
>>2409111
Maribelle isn't too tired to do something else, the kobold job wasn't that much an effort in the end, and she'd be bringing along her dragon even too. However, first she has to figure out what to do with these kobolds, so you might be waiting awhile. She figures if she can get them out in good time, either you could try another enclosure together before or after dinnertime.

But... which enclosure would you want to deal with next?

>>2409120
You can ask her but it's not like she would have a good idea how your slime physiology works. At least not a better idea than you, but if you give her more time to study blue slime she can try and figure something out.

>>2409127
>Hunter god>demoness

>>2409154
>>2409160
>>2409162

>>2409171
Maybe our diplomacy will work better this time...

>>2409153
Well if she's busy we could probably find the megalodon tank leak without too much trouble - we just need to run our slime over it until we feel a point of water egress.

>>2409177

Well it's less a matter of convincing her and more, whether you want her around to witness anything you may do. Also of course she'd be even more grateful if you took care of these things yourself to let her handle other matters.

Though on the other hand, she's a mage skilled enough to reach professor in the academy here, and she'd be bringing a dragon.

Choices choices...

>>2409183
Alright, let's try the hunter god.

>>2409183
Ask her if we can take the dragon with us and leave her behind.

>>2409191
That will definitely not happen... unless you want to try and ask the dragon himself directly, but it probably will all have to happen in secret.

>>2409203
Well then let's solo it I guess. Enchanted forests will be full of magical creatures to eat and having Maribelle with us will only prevent us from doing that.

Alright then, while Maribelle tries to figure out what to do with the kobolds now and the dragon is hiding from them, you figure to try and clear out the enchanted forest enclosure. Why not? You're feeling pretty good, pretty confident after dealing with the kobolds, at this rate it should be easy peasy to help Maribelle with all the other enclosures too. Enough that you could even do it on your own.

So sneakily you shlorp off in the direction of the specific enclosure, to your delight finding that you can locate it thanks to your newfound ability to read. Now is just getting inside, as you mimic what you saw the professor do earlier to attune the door, and in you glorp.

"Oh wow, if I knew there were places like this in here, I'd have come to the menagerie before I got slimed..."

Quite the contrast to the mountain enclosure, a verdant display of colors in the lush forest. From the moss and flowers of the ground to the strange and wonderful trees of various shapes and sizes, everything is abuzz with life and magic. Many such enchanted insects and small creatures about too you can see, and just being here you feel enlivened. Ah, but you're after one thing; you know this to be the enclosure for a white stag, but somewhere in here is a god of the hunt hiding and causing trouble.

>How do you proceed?

Dear oh dear, you do little more than make a fool of yourself as you shlorp along through the trees and attempt to mimic calls of a stag. In fact you actually draw the attention of a few fairies whom laugh and jeer at you for the humerous display.

At least though you get to glorp through this enchanted wood of wonder. You'll need a better plan though, or chance if you want to find what you're after.

>>2409290
Well if we entertain the fairies maybe they'll know.

You consider trying to entertain these woodland sprites, but surely you wouldn't deject yourself to such humiliation! No, much more becoming to deal with them politely and professionally.

"Pardon me, but can you help me find out where I can find this, 'God of the Hunt' fellow? I need to discuss how he is currently squatting inside of an enclosure meant to take care of our white stag."

The little winged ones go quite silent at the mention of your purpose here, at least for a few moments before bursting out laughing again, along the branches of the trees and on the flowers.

"You hear that?! She's looking for the King!"

"What you reckon she wants him for? A big slimy kiss?!"

All their chattering and frivolity makes quite the noise, enough to draw the attention of some forest animals as well. Eventually there even sounds a tiny trumpet or something like that, as a few uniformed fairies descend from a tree nearby carting a rather regal-looking one atop a litter, an unmistakable tiny crown atop her tiny head. Flittering together they struggle to bring the little monarch closer for a better look, though still in flight above you.

"Hear hear, I say! What's all this calamity then?"

The fairy queen acts about as properly as you may expect though very pompous to boot, but hearing of just what her subjects have to say, any polite airs quickly replace with rage.

"Look at her crown! The slime queen said she wants the King!"

"Watch out your highness, she's going steal your man!"

What follows is the most displeased harrumph you may ever have heard, as the fairy queen tries not to throw a fit before her subjects. A little fairy minister is quick to approach and ask what she would have done, what would appease her? The answer though, comes with a fiendish grin and raucous cheers from the small crowd.

"Who am I to deny a challenge from a fellow queen? If she wants to contest for my husband however, it should be on fair terms!"

Before you have very much a chance to act and certainly faster than you could evade or flee, the fairy queen from atop the litter, upends an appropriately large jar over the side. A small shower of sparkling dust rains over you, sinking into your slime and causing you to glow and shimmer again. You fear for the worst, and the effects are soon to come as the onlookers get even more wild with their jeering.

"What, you think size is going to help you? Even if you all get bigger... and the trees get bigger... and everything else... oh wait, I'm getting smaller."

Rapidly, more and more you diminish in size, though you aren't losing mass. It seems instead she scattered some magic shrinking dust upon you. Funny, you'd heard bedtime stories about such things happening to bad children who strayed into the woods, but you didn't think you'd be at risk now that you're slime.

>>2409991
In any case, eventually you settle to a stable size as the effect wears off. That size though unfortunately, is about as big as a squirrel, quite the reduction for sure.

>How do you proceed?

Rolled 33 (1d100)

The fairies are being assholes, this area is specifically for the white stag, and since they are magical sentient creatures, we should want to eat them to get the most points. We should attack the queen, get back to normal then kill the rest.

Looks like a reversal in fortunes. Well then, if you want to negotiate, then how do you want to go about it? I assume you're swapping the roll, so what are you going to say or do to try and work things out with the fairies?

Since we have that 99 and no idiot rolled another 1 so far, just be noble about it and accept defeat as a proper queen we are. Applaud the cunning use of magic and then politely ask for reversal so we can be back in our previous size.

>>2410234
I don't think surrendering is necessarily. I mean, just explaining the situation should do the trick.

Can't we just tell her that we want to see her husband in name of the academy?

>>2410160
"I have no interest in your husband, madame. I myself am courting a suitor more befitting my, err, previous physical stature. I only wish to inform you that you and your court are trespassing in my college's nature preserve, one that holds the last white stag in (place nation we're in). We need him to mate with a doe so that he can pass on his offspring."

Hey, just realized...

If we can get our tendrils on how to make that magic shrinking powder, we can get small enough to fit inside of the school's hallways without giving up most of what we gotten from eating things and people.

Feeling very small, in all senses of the word, you decide to try perhaps a more diplomatic approach rather than resorting to violence. Maybe in the manner of one queen to another, like she said it. If you could resolve all of this peacefully, then you're sure professor Martelle would appreciate it.

"I have no interest in your husband, madame. I myself am courting a suitor more befitting my, err, previous physical stature. I only wish to inform you that you and your court are trespassing in my college's nature preserve, one that holds the last white stag Inafur. We need him to mate with a doe so that he can pass on his offspring."

It's rather comedic because being made magically smaller your voice is much higher. The other fairies laugh terribly, but recognizing your manners the fairy queen at least takes you more seriously. She doesn't seem interested in relinquishing ground however, and responds quite like an official.

"You will excuse my subjects, but this is our home! We were assured of our right to dwell here by one of your teachers, Tiggins. Only my husband you may say, is an interloper, but you can't expect us... expect me to just send him on his way. We've only just married recently!"

You'd no idea of any sort of arrangement like this, however it makes sense that in the various magic enclosures there could be more than just one inhabitant. Sure enough the white stag is the prize specimen in here, but it's not as though fairies or those other woodland creatures are barred from living here. Professor Tiggins though... the agreement must have been made some time ago. You have to think long and hard with your fractured mind, but you can recall the previous staff member in charge of the menagerie and magical creatures/monsters studies, a halfling by the name of Tiggins. Though, didn't he die in some accident? Why Martelle took over in the first place, despite her young age and lesser experience or magic skills compared to usual staff.

"Turn her into a frog! She's slimy enough, Queen of the Frogs!"

"Let's throw her in the river! Maybe she'll block it up!"

"Nay, she's proven she at least is not a competing suitor, and she has displayed civility and grace! On condition that she continue to observe propriety, I shall restore her with royal blessing!"

Quite mercurial, this lot. Jeering one minute and cheering the next, at the queen's change of opinion. But with a wave of a magic flower and some dewdrops from it, your slime starts to shimmer and glow again before exploding massively in size. Back to normal, but it's a good thing no one was near you. If such a thing were to happen in a building, like the academy for example, you could imagine quite the fiasco.

>How do you proceed?

>>2410419
"We were unaware of any previous situation. As for Tiggins, I...believe he is deceased. I'll need to discuss the situation with his successor and perhaps colleagues to figure out an acceptable solution to this unfortunate debacle. I only ask that, should you be able to reach him, to convince your husband to restrain himself should he come into the presence of the white stag."

Sound good?

>>2410419
Let's butter her up a bit.

"My congratulations on your marriage vows, Madame. May your children carry on your legacy, and never know strife or suffering."

>>2410458
That's pretty good. I'd start with that.

Should we consider bringing her back a wedding gift as a way to keep KotH in line?

Also, keep that shrinking powder in mind for later...

>>2410458
>>2410480
This Brown slime approves of Pink slimes and Violet slimes joint ideas.

>>2410480
>>2410505

Being courteous has gotten you this far so you decide to keep to it. Not like it's particularly hard anyway.

"My congratulations on your marriage vows, Madame. May your children carry on your legacy, and never know strife or suffering."

Your flattery may seem quite obvious, but it does win you quite a bit of favor among the lot of fairies. Both from the queen herself and from her gathered citizenry, at least enough that they're not calling for you to be turned into a frog. Though you could sit here all day singing their praises and get... not that far, you're here for a reason.

"We were unaware of any previous situation. As for Tiggins, I...believe he is deceased. I'll need to discuss the situation with his successor and perhaps colleagues to figure out an acceptable solution to this unfortunate debacle. I only ask that, should you be able to reach him, to convince your husband to restrain himself should he come into the presence of the white stag."

"Oh dear... that is upsetting to hear, I extend condolences on behalf of my people for your late teacher. However it seems you may be mistaken. My husband doesn't hunt anything within this realm, only those who trespass. I suppose before long he'll be around after you, like he was for those other interlopers from your school... not that I can talk any sense into him though, it's one of those things he simply won't budge on!"

This is something new to hear, but you have some confusion what she means. The truth is shown by the minister of hers nearby, gesturing up to one of the trees nearby. To your alarm you notice a number of orc and other skulls hanging from the branches. Seems some might have gotten in here during the raid, though where the other skulls came from, you dread to ask...

Are you going to depart then for now, go and talk to Maribelle about what you found?

>>2410612
"Thank you for the warning. I hope to return with good news."

We out.

>>2410612
Pretty much.

Curtsy to the Queen, then head back to inform Maribelle about the new resident problem. Also, make a request for a few barrels of fruit juice to be brought down for a couple of weeks, to "Experiment with flavors".

It'd make a nice treat for Carter...

After that, we should head over to the magic spring and ask for advice from the fey that play there. They might have some sort of insight on dealing with the KotH and his queen.

>>2410638
>It'd make a nice treat for Carter...
Hmm

>>2410642
(slime blush)

>>2410627

"Thank you for the warning. I hope to return with good news."

And so you take your leave, content with a good amount of new information you've found. Although you're not sure if you can solve the matter on your own, or so soon, at least you have something to take to Maribelle... assuming you want her to know what you've been doing.

In any case you return to the menagerie, finding two other students just waiting around with a few remaining kobolds. Apparently, Maribelle found a way to get them out using cloth bags. Seeing you though the students are glad, that means they don't have to wait around and mind the kobolds, and can head off to dinner which is to start shortly.

>>2410638
How are you getting to the magic spring? You're not allowed to leave the menagerie.

>>2410658
We must galorp like the slime we are.
We can separate into smaller slimes, and move about unnoticed in smaller areas rather than a car sized blob.

>>2410658
We could put in a request to leave on a temporary assignment to help out our teacher. Explain the situation with Maribelle and the other staff regarding the K+QotH and the White Stag. Hopefully, they will let us visit the spring on a supervised visit. If not, then we'll try some good old fashioned book learning.

>>2410673
Agreed with this.

>>2410658
Suggest to Martelle she arranges some sort of identifying token with the fairy queen and anyone entering the enclosure wears one.

>>2410687
>>2410675

So you linger around, no point in forcing those other students to stay when you have to. The kobolds aren't happy with the arrangement but they'll be out of there soon enough. Fortunately Maribelle returns from another trip of carrying kobolds out in a bag, and has enough time to talk with you before making as last trip and then heading to dinner herself.

In particular, your talk of the magic spring is appealing to her. She'd heard of it during her time at the academy, but has never been there so would love nothing more than to be able to accompany you there, and over dinner she'll try her hardest to speak with some of the other staff to see if you can be allowed to do so. The arch mage even, if she has to!

In any case though, it'll be the waiting game again for her to return at least. So in the meantime what would you like to do?

>>2410811
See some old friends, ask for some books from the library about Slimes and Fey, try on your old clothes to see if you still look good in them, see if you left a diary in your pre-slimegirl stuff.

Also, what do we currently have in our possession?

>>2410811
Sneak into the library and look for information on fairies and hunter god.

>>2410824
>>2410838
The only way you can get out is by sneaking so you'll need to roll.

As for what you currently own, besides some of your old clothes (which you can wear without getting slimy now), are the few magic items you've gotten. They include;

>Your crown
>Two rings
>A necklace
>A pair of bracelets
>A pair of earrings
>A magic belt

Though you don't know what any of them do, and you can't make use of magic items... at least not currently.

>>2410864
>>2410838
Wait, couldn't we just ask Carter or Garret to just check the books out for us? Why risk pissing off the teachers just before we request a chance to visit the outside?

>>2410869
You could do that for sure but neither of those two specifically are there right now. Probably off to dinner as well, it's a big communal affair in the academy. However you might get lucky if you wait by the door and see if any underclassmen happen by that you could lure to do your bidding.

>>2410873
In that case, I'd rather just wait for someone to come back to the menagerie so we can make our requests. It's a bad idea to risk being caught sneaking out of our assigned area just before our request to leave gets voted on.

>>2410881
Let's chat with the dragon then while we wait.

>>2410881
>>2410886
Sure you can have a chat with Dran then while trying out your old clothes. Any particular topics of interest? Or schemes to make?

>>2410903
What's it like working with Martelle? Anything in particular we should or shouldn't try to do?

>>2410903
Ask him whether he knows anything about the magical items you carry. Also ask if he knows anything about fairies/hunter gods, how to defeat them etc.

He finds working with Maribelle aggravating given how careless she is and he always has to keep her out of trouble, but she raised him so he'd never complain. Things to avoid, well writing off creatures and monsters together and treating them all badly or killing them, is sure to earn her ire. She's always had a soft spot even for monsters, those she believes can be safely handled in the right circumstances.

>>2410927
The crown he recognizes since it belonged to him, but he doesn't mind if you have it. It's a brilliant crown so if used, it can blind those with ill intent and grants the wearer vision even without light.

As for fairies and hunter gods, well not much. He met a minor goddess once, but one dwelling in a magic realm? He can't imagine it would be all that dangerous, most gods rely on faithful followers. Fairies, too tricksy for his tastes, but like all fey sorts they have a terrible weakness for games and challenges. Things with rules to play by. You think to ask as well what to do with the problem? He can keep a secret you hope, won't just go telling Maribelle. As far as he knows the hunter god showed up recently, so if you could find a better husband for the fairy queen, or if you could beat him at his own game, either one would probably cause the fairies to reject him. Or maybe just go after the white stag yourself?

Wedding present? How about some slime?

>>2410933
You while away the time with Dran then, checking over your belongings while he alternates in and out of his enclosure to put things back or take things out now that the kobolds are gone. He's thankful for this though not as much as Maribelle, for him it was more just an awkward problem that he was too embarrassed to deal with himself... though he would never admit that much.

Of course you always knew Maribelle had a dragon companion, everyone did but you never knew how. Never a chance to ask really, but according to him she got him while still an egg from poachers. Unfortunately his real mother must not have cared enough to come looking, so Maribelle just raised him instead. Thus, his whole life so far with her. Not as high and mighty as a dragon could be for one like him, but he's not ashamed of his life here.

He's clever enough then you figure, to ask about your own condition. Having lived his life on the surface though he hasn't much knowledge about slimes. His best guess though and rumors he heard, you must have used some sort of magic ward or defense spell when the slime attacked you, and it preserved you. Enough that rather than your body just being devoured outright, the slime merged with it instead. Magic body, magic spell, and slime combined... and here you are.

Well that makes sense. Getting back the rest of your belongings would be nice though, more than just a pair of robes and a dress or two. They haven't let you get anything or return to your room though, only what you asked your friends to bring.

As a matter of fact he does. Or well, Maribelle does. She collects what he sheds or outgrows, and sells (usually to others in the academy) for income to benefit them both. But if you ask her he's sure she wouldn't mind, they're just kept in a big bucket somewhere she's got.

In any case you actually have a pretty decent time with Dran and he even maybe somewhat sort of doesn't mind your presence. From one "monster" to another, you and that one other student stuck in here, you're all kind of in the same boat with these wizards and sorcerers and all their rules.

You maybe even share a laugh or two, before you hear the return of Maribelle... looking rather glum and accompanied by both the arch mage and three other staff members. She hurries to you ahead of them and apologizes, saying she tried her best, but...

"Excuse us Sadie, but Professor Martelle has informed me of your desire to... well, how should I put this... would you prefer we discuss the matter in private? Your room here perhaps?"

The arch mage, decked out in his layers of magic robes, hoods and all from faraway lands and his heavy accent to match. You were expecting Maribelle to return with the all-clear, but certainly not this. If you didn't know better, you'd actually be worried, fearful for your life.

"Bad news? Maybe she doesn't want to be alone for it."

Dran, as if reading the situation implies some degree of support for you... or protection over you. A comforting though, nice to know you may have made a new friend. But maybe you'd rather have any sort of discussion in private?

>>2411009
No need for privacy. This matter is of concern to all of us.
