Alter Ego: Troll Edition [Still Technically Alpha Grub]

[EnigmaticD]

With your mutation, you psychically read the status of the place you are floating in. It is...
It is a gelatinous sack, filled with nutrients and the pigmentation that permeates your blood, and you see that it has been lain by a titanic creature, one which has lain several billion of them, and will continue for a long, long time. It is a place that is supposed to perpetuate your existence, until such a time which you are to escape it. The air is running out inside of it, and the warmth that envelops you is getting steadily cooler. You will die if you do not get out.

How should you proceed with your escape?

[Askia]

bite the thin membrane and the pressure should take care of the rest

[Bat in a Suit]

Pfft teeth

Use your budding awesome horns to break through the membrane and pose because shit just got ... live?

[Calamity]

Somehow use your awesome horns to tear open the membrane while screeching like a human monster you've never heard of who's name might be Godzilla.

[EnigmaticD]

You extend yourself, and the goat horns that are wrapping around your head in an odd, somewhat face-obstructing fashion puncture the edge of the object you're in. The stale fluid in the egg gives way to air, and light leaks in through a slowly expanding tear. You decide, however, that freedom isn't coming soon enough. You bite at the opening, tearing a larger hole in the gelatinous sack you were in. You crawl out, eyes adjusting to the relative brightness of the cavern, squealing in an attempt to be a savage, city-destroying monster, but you instead sound more like this.

Congratulations, you've been born! From here on, you have fifteen events before you are judged in front of His Honorable Tyranny to see inf you're acceptable enough to leave the caverns.

The available categories for each event are:
Emotional
Social
Physical

Family is locked, since you do not have a lusus yet.

Which event would you like to try next?

[Bat in a Suit]

oh god that sound

uhh

>Emotional, why not?

[EnigmaticD]

You are taking a solitary walk through the caverns. All of a sudden, an unknown creature blocks your path. Your eyesight isn't yet good enough to see what the creature looks like, but something inside of you says that it's familiar. The creature tenses up, as if about to lunge at you.

What is your mood and action?

For those who have not played Alter Ego: "mood" basically falls under things like curious, angry, passive, etc.

[Askia]

Angry, dodge

[Vincshad]

>Curious (Use Psychometry to check the floor in an attempt to learn about the creature in front of you?)

[Bat in a Suit]

>Curious, skitter

You want to know about this creature but you're leery of getting too close

[EnigmaticD]

You attempt to use your psionic powers to discern who the grub is, but unlike the egg, which had been inhabited solely by you until recently, the cavern floor has been walked upon by billions of creatures over hundreds of thousands of years. Many of them, however, have been the same kind of creature, something small, crawling, and colorful. Enough time passes that, when you attempt to skitter out of the way, the grub has already lunged upon you, knocking you back onto the ground. You see it more clearly. It has yellow eyes, orange horns which resemble what a nonexistant, alternate universe species would call a water buffalo coming from its forehead, and it has six legs. It is currently sniffing you as you are on the floor.

Mood and action?

[Bat in a Suit]

>Indignant; get up and try and see the whole grub, then bump it over with your clearly superior horns. How dare someone knock you over!

[Calamity]

>Annoyed.

>Attempt to go past grub again while giving it YOUR BEST TICKED-OFF LOOK EVER. Make a troll who you've never heard of who's name might be Karkat proud.

[EnigmaticD]

You push the grub off, a mixture of anger and annoyance stirring inside you. You look at the creature, something familiar to you and yet far off, something that seems alien, and yet, you recognize yourself in it. At any rate, you don't like it just knocking you down and sniffing away at you like that. You show the creature your war face, and it squeaks, scurrying back. Apparentally, it was also curious, but seems to have lost interest.

You've shown to be rather inquisitive, and quick to anger.

You have fourteen events left.

[EnigmaticD]

You walk through the caverns once more, and see a group of creatures similar to the one you encountered. They are simply walking, but suddenly, one of their number falls down. The creature can't seem to get back up, but the rest of the group simply keeps moving, as if the one who fell didn't exist anymore. What do you do?

[Askia]

curious, look (investigate?)

[Bat in a Suit]

>concerned, investigate

[EnigmaticD]

You approach the fallen creature, a mix of anxiety and curiosity welling up inside you. There's rusty red fluid on the creature's face, the same color as its body and one intact eye. The other eye seemed to have been damaged by something in the caverns, and there are a multitude of scratches on its face and body. The creature seems to be very quiet.

[Bat in a Suit]

> apprehensive but still curious; try and nudge the fallen grub

[Dar'Joras]

>frustration
look at it from the side, pull it up and hit it slightly on the shoulder to tell it to toughten up!

[ComiTurtle]

Anger
Ram your head into it so it gets up.

Geez how dare such a creature be so impolite! Leaving the others how rude!
