《Tentatively Slime》Bad Day for Goblin
Advertisement
Dookarook was not having a good day.
First he got woked up by a hot bum-air from Gargy. The smell got stuck in his sniffer all day. It smelled like stink-dirt but less spungy, and it made his sniffer snackies taste weird too. They taste like body-water usually, but gargy made them taste like baby bird before it is born. Normally Dookarook liked baby bird eggies but not when they go rotty. His sniffy snacks tasted rotty.
After that, mean Boog kicked him into the stink-dirt pit when he was making stink-dirt come out. The stinky got in his bat clothes. Dookarook liked to eat bats too, and wings made good clothes. Very warm. Not good to be cold in tunnels, thats how goblin go to end-sleep.
Nobody ever woked up from end sleep, and after a while they go rotty. Very bad to eat and rotty bad for goblin. Sometimes goblin come back with big cuts from mean creatures. If not treated with life-moss, those guys go rotty too.That is why Dookarook was very careful. Dookarook was smart goblin, he ran very fast. He was very small goblin though so other goblins make fun of Dookarook. He would show them someday.
Dookarook tried to eat bat after that but bat wasn't dead yet and bit him on the sniffer. Mean bat. Dookarook melted mean bat's head with his mouth-slime. Mean bat was not mean any more after he did that.
All goblins have special mouth slime. Dookarook was very good at aiming. He could shoot out his mouth-slime very good. He could even hit bats with it. Some goblin can barely hit a rock with mouth-slime. Dookarook practiced all the time. That is why he was better than other stinky goblins. Sometimes he practiced so much his mouth went dry! Boog just jealous of his special skill.
Big Goblin made Dookarook go to Big Goblin cave after. Big Goblin made all the rules so Dookarook had to go. Big Goblin's name this time was Groob. Sometimes Big Goblin would go end-sleep and then next toughest goblin would be Big Goblin. Groob was Big Goblin for a long time though.
Big goblin got many good things. He could use baby-slaves all day, and female goblins always want to be with Big Goblin. Dookarook would be Big Goblin one day. Then he would bully Boog and Boog's friends. That would show them. He would make them eat stink-dirt, and sit on them. He would eat the juiciest bats.
Big Goblin made Dookarook go hunt bats today. Dookarook hated hunting bats, even though he was good at it. Dookarook was good at everything. He was the best goblin. That is why even though he was not tall like other tough goblins, he knew he would grow one day and be Big Goblin.

He hated hunting though. Hunting was bad for goblins. Sometimes mean monsters would come and eat goblin hunters. Once, Dookarook was with some other goblin hunters when a big snakey appeared. Goblin hunters ran but big snakey ate them anyway, but not Dookarook. Dookarook was too fast and smart for dumb snakey.
Today Dookarook went hunting alone. He did not like useless goblin tagging along. He could hunt bats very fine himself thank you. Also it was easier to hide from monsters when loud smelly goblins were not with him. He was very quiet and smart and he smelled very good.
He sneaked along his tunnels until he got to a bat cave. Dookarook was very good at sneaking. He was good at everything. Dumb bats didnt even see him come in, thats how good he was.

His mouth-slime landed on a bat. He missed the first time though but even a smart goblin likke him missed sometimes. The dumb bat started yelling but it was too late. Dumb bat's head was already covered in mouth slime. The yelling woke up other bats though and they flew away. Stupid bat.
He put the melty bat into his bat-sack. Bat sack was good for collecting bats but Dookarook was smart. He could even use his bat sack for other things like shiny rocks and dizzy-shrooms.
Dookarook sneaked to another cave. There was more bats. He knew where the good bat caves were and the safe tunnels. He was the smartest goblin after all. This time he threw a rock at the bat. The rock knocked the bat out this time. There was no bat-yelling. He tried to catch the rock when it came back down but he missed. The noise woke up the other bats and they flew off again. Stupid rock.
This was one of his smartiest ideas. Someties he could get 2 or 3 bats before they woke up. one time, he even got 5 whole bats! He was definitely the smartest goblin. He twisted the bat-neck to kill it. Sometimes stupid goblin didnt twist neck and bats woke up. Thats how he got bitted in the sniffer today.
Dookarook was thirsty now. He got two bats already. That was very good. One bat could feed a whole goblin for one day. Not the tall-goblins though. Those guys ate a lot.
He sneaked through the tunnels towards his favorite hidey-cave. His hidey cave had a nice pool of water in it that he could drink from. The water was better than the goblin-pool water too. No goblins peed in this water. Also sometimes there was bats in his hidey cave too.

Today there was bats in his hidey cave. He decided to just spit some mouth-slime at one. He liked to practice after all. That is why he was better than other dumb goblins.

Dookarook was so happy! It was very rare for blue message to appear when killing bats. The last time it happened to him was days and days ago. He didnt know how many but it was more days than his fingers and toesies.
He already knew how to use the message-powers. He figured it our a long long time ago. All goblins figured it out. He put his free message power in agility. His agility had saved him many times. It made him run faster. Dookarook was smart. Every time he got a message power he put it into a different stat. That way he could figure out which ones did what thing.
He put one in strength first and he got stronger. That was very good for goblins but he was curious so he put the next one into agility. That one made him faster. That was very good for goblin because goblin had to run fast sometimes to not die. Then he put one into intelligence. That one made him smarter. He did not like that one. Dookarook was already smart enough.
The he put one in Regeneration. That one did nothing! He was very mad about that one. He was so made he even kicked a rock when it happened. The dumb rock hurt his toesie. After that he decided not to put the next point into Luck. He learned his lesson from stupid Regeneration. He was only gonna put points into Agility until he was faster than even the bats!
Dookarook put the dumb bat in his bat-sack and then headed over to the pool of water. He was very thirsty. He dunked his entire head in the pool and gulped at the yummy water.
squoosh
"AGAHGAHGAH", he screamed and leapt away from the pool. Something had squished against his sniffer! Sometimes there were bitey-fish in the water so you had to be careful. This did not feel like a fish though. He looked over at the pool and what he saw there confused him.
A blue see-through blob had rolled onto the rock by the pool. There was a blue shiny looking rock-thing in its body too. "What the gorb is that thing?" he said to himself. He was scared. Unknown things were bad for goblins. Thats how goblins got eated. It did not hurt when it squished on his sniffer before though.
The blob-monster just sat there. Eventually Dookarook decided to go closer to the blob-thing. Very carefully he sneaked closer to it. He didnt know if it could see him. Some things in the tunnels couldn't see well, like bats. Eventually he was standing right in front of the blob. It didnk't attack him. It must be because he was so handsome and strong.
"What the goog are you?" he asked the blob. Finally the blob moved. Dookarook leaped away, but the blob just bobbed up and down a couple times.
Dookarook was not scared anymore. Monsters that were mean always attacked immediately, and it definitely wasnt a baby-slave. Baby-slaves always had bits of sharp shiny rocks that they used to kill goblin. When goblin killed baby-slaves they took the sharp shiny rocks and the shiny shells off the baby-slaves and the tall-goblins got to keep them. Dookarook really wanted one of those sharp shiny rocks. It would be so easy to kill monsters with one of those.
He tried asking for one once but he just got laughed at and then kicked in the bum. Stupid mean tall-goblins.
Dookarook liked this little guy though. It was funny how it jiggled. He didnt want to try to kill it either. Who knew if it had scary trick to use on a poor goblin?
"Can you use mouth-sounds?", he asked the blob. The blob suddenly sprouted two weird arm things and waved them around. it looked really funny. It seemed as though the blob thing couldn't use mouth-sounds but it could understand him a little bit. Whenever he speaked, the blob did something after all.
Dookarook decided to keep the blob as a pet. Perhaps the blob could learn to hunt and then Dookarook wouldn't have to hunt anymore. He could just make the blob do it. Imagining himself stuffing his face while the blob did all his work made Dookarook very happy. He started smiling to himself as he thought of it.
"Blob-thing, you are my pet now, so dont be mean", said Dookarook. "Follow me, we go back to goblin-cave now".
He started walking away but when he looked back, the blob was just sitting there. "Looks like I have to teach this dummy how to be smart" he thought.

8 172Eve's Guide to Ghost Removal
Eve isn’t interested in anything remotely spooky -- especially not that Paranormal Bullshit. She’s had enough of that already, thank you very much, and now that she’s on her own in a new town, all she wants is to be left alone. She just wants to study the Blackwater Henges, do her job, and have absolutely nothing to do with other people’s problems. Unfortunately, the town of Blackwood seems to have other plans: Eve's new apartment seems haunted, a missing girl is all anyone in town will talk about, and Eve draws perilously closer to getting dragged into people's problems. So much for living a life unbothered by Paranormal Bullshit. Eve is nothing if not stubborn, though. If Paranormal Bullshit wants to drag her into something, she’s going to make it regret that decision.
