friday field work: reports from goo grotto, issue #2
Another couple weeks passed, and I'm really getting into the swing of things here. It's been a while and I would have expected to be rescued by now, but, you know, it's still tolerable. The slimes like me. They're my friends. They only want what's best for me. :)
Anyway! Today I'd like to talk a bit about more about what kinds of qualities slimes can have - their strengths, weaknesses, traits, personalities, and genders.
(... okay I am actually pretty sure they only have the one gender, and the gender is "slime," but they do have the other stuff.)
slime training regimen
Slimes seem to have a pretty remarkable capacity for learning and improvement - which makes sense, they're quite literally very malleable. (Kind of like memory foam.) They actually try to develop through play: they get stronger, smarter, and more agile the more they goof around with each other. I've taken to calling these qualities
BRAWN
BRAIN
and
BOUNCE.
A Brawny slime can out-muscle its opponents (and I'll talk more about these contests during the next field report!), a Brainy slime can use their cunning to trick them, and a Bouncy slime is quick to react and dexterous. Some slimes definitely seem better suited for some tasks than others, but they all have their little niche!
born this way
In addition to the way that slimes can work towards improving themselves, each slime has other physical qualities that make it unique too! Whereas a brainier slime will almost always beat out one that isn't so brainy, these qualities seem kind of more neutral, or have some trade-offs.
Some are more transparent and some are more opaque; the transparent ones are a harder to see but the opaque ones seem to have a little bit more structural integrity.
Some are sticky and pick up more stuff while they're rolling around, whereas some are more juicy and produce higher quantities of valuable slime juice. (More on that in a few weeks!)
Some are big and some are small, with the bigger ones getting to throw their heft around and the smaller ones getting to flit around more nimbly.
personality
Additionally each slime has their own little personality! After being among them I've noticed that some are more clingy and social whereas some are more independent, and tend to do their own thing more often.
Some are bold and a bit braver, even to the point of silliness, whereas some are more cautious.
Some are calm whereas some are a bit more excitable. The calmer ones like to be pet, but the more excitable ones are happier going on adventures.
And finally it seems some slimes just have that… je ne sais quoi… I could get lost in their vacant little eyes… ah, sorry, what was I saying?
next time
There are a couple more topics I want to cover, but I think I'll have to save them for next time. I really should work on fixing the distress beacon. It's hard and slow work hard - the slimes just get so upset when I climb up on the roof without them for whatever reason.
So - next time look forward to hearing about juice! Or contests! One of the two. It depends on mysterious factors. Bye!

I'm Gen, 30-something-year-old web developer who used to make websites about businesses back when I lived on a planet that didn't have any slimes on it. Now I'm stuck on a planet with nothing but slimes on it and I'm making a website about slimes.
An upcoming retro virtual pet site where you collect, mix, and care for your very own slimes.
faq
What planet are you on?
I'm calling the planet Goopiter. I think I get to name it since everyone else here is slimes. Uh, in case that wasn't clear.
How'd you get there?
Crash-landed.
How are you surviving?
The slimes are actually really friendly and helpful. They seem to kind of be attached to me! They bring me edible food and clean water, and I've even kind of been able to direct them to build a shelter in the rubble of what looks like it might have been an ancient city. And to pre-empt your next question, the skyscr--
How are you posting on the internet?
... rude. Anyway, some places in the ruins have outlets and I get full bars. I don't know either.
If you have the Internet, why haven't you been rescued?
I have an internet but as far as I can tell it's not my internet. There are no mentions of the autonomous spaceboat that I was using, for one, so I can't find instructions on how to fix it. For two, Earth still seems to have its first moon, so that's cool. Oh! And imagine my surprise when I try to search "how to convert my .odx to .tumblr" and I find that tumblr is a social media site instead of a revolutionary document format that made Yahoo the first trillion-dollar company. Those are probably the biggest things.
That's the FAQ for now. Ask box is open if you've got more!
