《Wet world wonderland.》Chapter: 2 "Here we are again, alone."
Advertisement
Here I am, alone once more.
The other Children won’t even come near me, they’re all afraid I’ll hurt them.. And Calvin keeps staring at me, it’s super creepy!
Every now and then they bring me Food and even Water. At first I was thinking I wouldn’t need the Water, since I AM water, but it turns out I can actually absorb it too. All they have to do is drop the Food in, and I can crush it with my super awesome pressurize skill, and after it’s in small chunks I can consume it. Water is thankfully easier, I just have to sit next to it, and wabam, I consume it! This is way easier than a HUMAN BODY, please ignore the fact that I have no sense of taste or smell, and I’m still unsure as to how I’m even capable of looking around.
I’m sure I’ll figure it out some other day.
I guess I should give a better description on what this Room I’m in looks like.
The room is covered in grass, and I would bet a bit of my water that the roof is artificial. There’s some hills, trees, multiple Biome-like areas and Habitats that I see my siblings hanging out in. It’s actually pretty neat how everyone gets along so well, everything is domesticated and friendly, even the larger ones. At the end of the room, there’s a Large Door, I’m guessing it’s a hallway to the Bedrooms for the children who prefer their own Room, I see them going in and out all the time anyways. Looking above, this room is actually really massive, if you really tried, you could probably fit around 10 million people on the floor alone. Right, there’s clouds, and I think I see some of the children sitting on the clouds. I guess some of them can do that, I hope I’ll be able to do that too someday.
I’ve always wanted to sit on a Cloud!
I’ve been a bit afraid of following the Water Cycle. From prior testing, as long as my water is connected it’s fine, and I doubt I could hold myself together while I’m a Gas. If I detach it, it hurts really badly, like as if I’ve lost a limb, actually, now that I think about it, I guess that’s exactly what’s happening. Anyways, as I was, if my water involuntarily disconnects from itself it begins to panic, so I’m not exactly immune to blades, blunts, projectiles, or just about anything else that’ll knock off some of my water. Now I’m still unsure as to why I’m alive, my working theory is that it’s Magic, I mean, I doubt my Slime Bros would be around without it. Oh right, I’ll continue on that one in a bit. Anyways, as I was, the obvious answer to my phenomenon is Magic, for the aforementioned reasons, but maybe I’m just having an Amazing Dream while I’m dying, or I was rescued and I’ll wake up and forget all of this, or maybe, I’m in a simulation to see how I would go about this, as a test subject, and I’ll get a sucker when I’m finished. That last one is a little far fetched though, I mean, I never consented, and I really doubt we had that kind of technology. Anyways, the working theory for all of this is Magic, I’m sure Mother or one of my siblings will tell me about it later.

At least, I hope they will, if they forgive me…
Right, the Slimes, they were the siblings willing to come close to me, I guess they were really curious, and were trying to figure out if I’m also a Slime. I’m assuming I’m not because they’re not confined to a bowl, and they’re more well, slimey, they can’t condense their body, but their Slime IS however great for taking attacks, their bodies are made from a slimy substance that’s great at sticking to things, so when you take a swing at one, you better be careful to not get your hand stuck in it, or IT stuck on your Hand. Although, I guess if you hit them hard enough, it should be enough to knock a mean chunk off of one, or even cut it. Maybe that’s how they get tougher, their bodies get stickier, and become harder to really tear apart. Aside from all of that, they come in tons of different shapes and sizes, I haven’t even seen the regular blue ones you would see in Video Games. Maybe they’re too common for this place?
What even is this place for anyways? Why do they have all of these Children? Oh my god, no, they’re not gathering one of each species to test on us, are they? No, it’s too soon to jump to conclusions like that, I should gather more information, besides, everyone seems relatively happy.
Right, right, sorry, we can get back to that some other day, we should get back to my Slime Siblings, since they’re the closest thing to my species. I’m assuming they’re all different subspecies of the Slime, that are more acclimated to certain areas, some of them are Red, there’s Yellow Slimes, Green Slimes, almost every color I can think of really. Some have incredibly hard Shells, you could make one hell of a Shield out of it, and the Red ones are super heat resistant, I bet you could make an armor out of their Body, and walk in lava. I even noticed that one of the yellow ones has a Beehive inside of them. Could that be some sort of symbiotic relationship? I think I see Bees flying in and out of them, my working theory for them, is that the Bees feed them, and they in turn protect the Hive, while also keeping it as a Mobile Base, so they can pollinate all the flowers that need it more. My Mother was a scientist, and super into watching nature, she really wanted me to get into it too, but I never really enjoyed it like She did…
She must have been so heart broken, and now I went and died on Her…
Oh, one of my siblings has brought me more food, nice! It’s that Cat Boy from earlier, he’s brought me some Apples, Ham, and Water. I haven’t had Apples since I died.
Calvinaz sits up, and speaks: “Lexis-Cordial-Genesis, you should be careful around that one, it might hurt you like it did to Velouravan-Genesis...”
Oh, so his name is Lexis, how come he gets a Middle Name but the others don’t?
Lexis stares at Calvin, and back at me, then back at him again: “It’s fine Calvinaz-Genesis, if they were a threat to me, I would have sent one of the others in for me.” Calvinaz lies back down on his Rock, and continues to stare: “Fine, but if they do something I don’t like, I will vaporize them…” Lexis continues to let my food get cold, and stares at Calvin before speaking up again: “Would you really hurt Mother that way?” Calvin looks away, and speaks up: “Fine, but I’m in charge of who goes near them from now on, I won’t let my carelessness hurt another one of my siblings…” Lexis nods his head, and speaks up: “Thank you, Calvinaz-Genesis, I’ll be sure to tell the others to ask you for permission first. Should I tell the slimes this too?” And on that last beat Calvin continues it with: “No, they’re a lot like the puddle, they probably don’t even understand they’re a different species yet, they’re still a newborn, so they won’t be so hostile around them.”

Sweet bajibers, dude come on, I’m not hostile, I just panicked, AND GIVE ME MY FOOD DAMNIT!
And with that, my body ejects a Needle out, and Lex’s head involuntarily moves away, his eyes are wide open and they stare at me. Lexis speaks up: “You know, at first I wasn’t so sure, but now I’m starting to believe you Calvinaz-Genesis.”
No, I didn’t mean it!!!
The meanest dragon ever speaks: “It’s just as I said, they’re far too aggressive, this is probably how their species almost died out, attacking anything and everything that isn’t one of them…”
Shuttup, I didn’t mean to attack, you’re keeping my food from me!
One of the fairy children sitting next to Calvin speaks up: “Maybe they really wanted the Food you were holding.” Calvin looks at Her, she’s wearing a really pretty Scarlet Red Dress, and says: “No, Flarenzerva-Genesis, they’re still too young to have developed any conscious thought, they’re most likely working off of instincts, the kind that tells them to kill and drag Lexis-Cordial-Genesis’s Body into their water, to consume him.” Flarenz looks away, and back at Lexis who has just calmed down, and says: “Well, if you say so, but Lex, you should really give them their food already, it’s probably cold by now...” Lex’s eyes widened once more, and he realized his egregious crime against my rights to have my goddamn food: “Oh… Shit, right, uh, Flare, could you, um…” Flare giggles, and flies over, while Calvin just gets a look of: ‘What did we just talk about?!’ Flare stands on the edge of the plate, and holds her hands over My Food, and it begins to warm it up again.
I’m not sure if adding heat to it makes it better for me, but thank you anyways!
Once flare has finished, she looks at Lex again: “There you go, you should really try to pay better attention to what you’re doing next time Lex.” Lex places each bit of food in me gently, knowing not to drop it. We learned that you can’t even drop food into me the hard way… Flare and Lex watch how I eat food, with a surprising amount of intrigue.
It’s honestly making me a little uncomfortable…
Flare finally breaks the silence: “Man, you can see everything, it’s so weird…” Lex continues to stare too: “Yeah, it’s kind of disgusting, but I can’t look away…” And with that, my body compresses, and the Apple Lex was about to put in sits on my surface. The surprised cat boy speaks: “It won’t go in-” Calvin interrupts Lexy boy: “Maybe it’s because you keep staring at them, and it’s making them uncomfortable.” Lex and Flare both realize that what they're doing is a little creepy, and finally apologizes to me.
Alright, fine, but only because you’re giving me so much attention…
I decompress my Body back into its usual state and I consume the Apple. Their eyes widen a little as they realize I recognized their Apology. Lex speaks up once more, while putting food in me: “Wait, did they actually understand me?” Flare continues with: “Possibly, maybe they’re developing their Conscious early, so they won’t be able to do anything too complicated, but they should be able to start learning." The Terrible Calvin joins in again: “I think we should wait for Mother, before we start trying to teach it.” The other 2 nod in agreement, and finish feeding me.
Thanks guys, but I’m already more than capable of conscious thought…
Flare waves me goodbye, and returns sitting next to Calvin, I guess they like sitting next to each other. Actually, there’s all kinds of fiery creatures sitting around Calvin, even my Red Slime Buddy, I guess he’s really warm.
I’m glad you’re all at least happy.
Lexis looks at me, and says: “See ya’, I’ll try and be better with feeding you next time.”
It’s fine, I nearly hit you anyways, I guess I deserved to wait a little.
Now that I think about that, he’s got mad reflexes, I guess it’s because he’s part Cat. As I think about this, he darts away with the empty plate, and back to the door. He’s also wicked fast! Man, Lex is so cool, why couldn’t I have been born as an animal person too? Anyways, I guess I should tell you what he looks like already. Just like Veloura, He also shares that triangle pattern that separates his hair from his forehead. He wears a very loose black jacket over his White T Shirt, and has white Jeans, with a weird Lichtenberg like pattern actually going around his Pants and T Shirt. His Hair is a multitude of greys, with a light grey swirl in his Hair, I’ve been calling it his: 'Cinnamon Roll' His ears are up to Kitty Standard, but the left one seems to have been nicked on the end, giving it a tiny split down the middle, I hope it doesn’t hurt. On the ends of his Fingers were large claw like nails, instead of the Human Standard, they also look like they’re embedded much deeper. Now that I’ve gotten through everything else, it’s time for my favorite bit on him: His Tail! As a Kid, I always wanted to have a tail, but I’m sure you can figure out why I didn’t. It’s long, and it looks pretty strong to boot, I bet it’s pretty good for picking stuff up, and waves around a lot, so it must have tons of stamina to work with too. In the end, I’d give it a hard 5 or 6 out of 10. Yes, it definitely does look useful, but it’s honestly not the prettiest Tail. If He wants more points, he’ll have to take better care of it.
Good luck with that Lex, and thank you for keeping me company.
End of Chapter 2: "Here we are again, Alone."
