Due to the actions of particularly persistent spammers and trolls, we will be banning disposable email addresses from today onward.

If anyone is disappointed by who I am on SV, sorry. o3o;
Edit: The super-opener has been edited for flow. Leah's interlude has entirely disappeared and some pictures have been added and some lines changed...
I'd happily continue the quest here even with the low player count because it's fun and low stress, but it appears that the decision is being taken out of my hands: my internet is slowly but almost assuredly glitching whenever I go here and I have to disconnect/reconnect multiple times after...
You can purposefully focus on developing your scavenge ability so it's a valid vote. Having an entire action slot devoted to social actions (like talking to Leah) will net you social-ish skills. Scavenge I isn't really social, but you've got a very alien mindset right now so her poking you into...
I can probably work this into a story post at some point, maybe even the next story post. If I forget to include a 'Miscellaneous Actions' option for the next story post (where you can do something so long as its fairly trivial - make a phone call, buy a newspaper, ask Leah a question, etc.) do...
Leah has opinions. Many, many opinions. This would be a more exciting development if so many of her opinions did not revolve around not eating.
You can't!
Case in point.
Your biomass quivers in frustration as you put down the small scrap of feline quadruped and watch it go. It scampers...
Not that I really mind either way, but this isn't plan voting. If you want English 2/Fins 1 or Begging 2/Armor 1 that vote would win.
I'm writing up the update now with the assumption that English 2/Begging 2 is going to win, but you have enough time to change your mind as the update will...
Actually, you can't eat souls yet, Leah had a weird quasi-awakening and hitched a ride on you. At a high enough level that's effectively what would happen though, you'd be kind of like Agent Smith. Hopefully we'll never get there because that's pretty much a 'and the PC became god and good game...
On the way to the leviathan you stumble into ________.
Literally stumble into - you run about as well as a drunk person drives, enthusiastically but without much skill as more than one parked car can attest. She's no more than a mouthful nestled in a cardboard wrapper and surrounded by a...
You're kind of the only person here right now so I'm switching things up a little to streamline the process, going from QM to DM, kinda. What kind of people would you like Damien to consume?
[ ] The first people he comes across
[ ] The people fighting back against the aliens
[ ] The people...
In the future we'll be doing things week by week with three action slots. Training would take up a slot, as would various other things. It's not entirely realistic, but it'll keep things street level for the foreseeable future which is probably the most enjoyable way to run things.
I'll let you upgrade compression 0 to 1 at the listed cost, but if you want to upgrade consumption 1 to 2 right away you'll have to take a penalty - the idea being you can't actually improve yourself on the fly and need the time to become more efficient. How does 3 people/creatures & 25 xp sound?
Yes, I meant where to start. Your consumption rate is, relative to the Leviathan, agonizingly slow so you have to pick where to start. Skin, teeth, tongue, eye, tail, back, side, flipper, etc. At 1 kg/sec, it'd take you about two days to eat a blue whale so don't expect to finish a Leviathan or...
As mentioned beforehand, your thoughts are not particularly... developed. You're not stupid, but there're missing chunks of evolutionary self-defenses that other creatures have had the time to develop that you haven't. A virus does not regard an organism several orders of magnitude bigger than...
Ideally, you would have first consumed a living host.
A passing alien army isn't exactly subtle though. The impact that shattered your containment and freed you also pulverized the entire floor you were on and smashed most of the biomass into paste.
You don't complain. You're not exactly a...
