      you were tasked with observing the specimen
        there are two ways to do this, of course: dangerously or safely.

        watching it from a distance, you won't be cursed with any drowsiness, but you'll loose the ability to attempt to communicate.
        watching closely, you'll be inflicted with various levels of drowsiness, but you'll be able to attempt communication.

        additionally, you may choose to offer a gathered ingredient to the creature.
        why? because science, of course!

      notes
      • booth rollover: 11:59 pm est
      • you may only post when the booth is open.

      • you may discuss, plot, and theorize with others freely!
      • please don't ask questions or discuss on this thread.

          uncolored — 1 coin
          colored — 3 coins
          rendered/background — 5 coins
        writing:
          1 coin for 1-100 words
          3 coins for 300~ words
          5 coins for 500~ words
        including both art + writing:
          if one goob: inflicts 5 drowsiness
          if multiple goobies: inflicts 25 drowsiness per goob
          inflicts 50 drowsiness instead if done multiple days in succession!
          (what is drowsiness?)

      Image

      effects of...
        observing from a distance (1-3 coins)
          no drowsiness points gained.
          you may not submit art/writing.
          you may toss ingredients.
        interacting closely (1-3 coins + submission)
          drowsiness gained depends on creature's reaction.
          you may submit art/writing, the creature may respond.
          you may offer ingredients.

      scientific observation, underway!
        please copy and paste the bottom half of the form if multiple goobies are observing!

goob: Seraph
observing: close
interaction: attempting to make contact!

Seraph approaches the goo amalgamation as it shudders and warps, and he almost stumbles into the creature in the darkness. At Alistaire's request, he'd come here to find some answers after having narrowly escaped just the day prior. A sense of unease fills the air around this goo monster, the blanket of pitch black overhead completely devoid of light, of life... and the slumbering agels scattered around doing little to assuage his apprehension. He swallows hard, approaching with careful footsteps, mindful to not startle this... thing. "E-excuse me?" His voice shakes as he speaks, deafeningly loud against the overwhelming silence surrounding him, as though in a glass dome. "Are you... a goobie? Can you understand me?" He says, before tipping his head to the side. Familiar, yet not... this blanketed sky, blotting out the sun. He'd recalled seeing puddles of inky black goo on the ground during Goo-o-ween-- could this be the creature that the goo belonged to? Was it attempting to regain its true shape? With more questions than answers, he can only wait patiently as he hopes that his words aren't lost on the goo creature...

goob: Grim
observing: Close
interaction: Reaching out!
ingredients: N/A

Grim had founded SPOOKI with the intent of helping all goobies and creatures, no matter what form or strange situations they found themselves in. It was why, now, he found himself walking up closer towards the spicimen. The scientist who had helped usher him in... Rune was it? He remembered Rune's clear warning. Do not get close to it. And yet... he found it difficult to keep his distance. It resembled a warped baby goo, like a goo that had too much well, goo and could not form itself properly. If one squinted, or tilted their head in a certain way... it seemed to have eyes. Was it just him being hopeful? His logical imagination filling in the blanks? Trying to make sense of well... everything?

He inhaled deeply. He could almost feel the hands of Sunny and Chase on his shoulders. They had only oh so recently met... yet he felt so close to them. He knows, if they could, they would be right here encouraging him on. Well, he reckoned, they technically were here. They were just... sleeping. Were they dreaming? He hoped so.

His gaze lifted to the creature again. Did this creature dream, or had it been leaked from the things dreams were created from? Maybe even it did not know. There was one way to find out wasn't there? Right, he could do this. It very well could be a victim, a creature in need.. it didn't have to be the enemy. He walked up, bowing his head a slight before looking straight at it.

"Hello. My name is Grim," he spoke. "I... I am a friend. Or I'd like to be." He extends a hand towards the creature, before remembering what he knew of the god of stars whose banishment had started this whole mess. So he gave a soft but hopeful word. A single word that he wondered if it would hold meaning to the tiny creature, if it could even hear.

"...Honk?" (330)


goob: Davey Jones
observing: Far
interaction: Seeing if it can see or hear...
ingredients: N/A

He must be getting old and stupidly sentimental. He should not be messing with any of this. He should have returned home, the Knight of Sharks was not one of his own. The rest were not even pirates! He merely tolerated their presence in his waters. At least, that is what he told himself. Or tried to. The truth was, despite it all... he cared. He still cared for all of them. Blast. He really wanted to hate the agels for what they had done, all those ages ago. They had nearly taken his eye. They had taken his family, his crew. And yet...

He remembered Gooish. How... welcoming the agels of this modern world had been. He remembered when he had surfaced, seeing the diabs working so hard to rescue their fallen friends, family. He didn;t like it. The agels would hurt them all again. Could they not see that? They did not remember the spears, the looks, the magic... he did. He remembered the final battle he had fought on short, when he was the world's first and finest captain (in his own mind at least) and how they had cast him into the depths without a second look. Cast down by one he had considered a friend. An ally. A first mate, even. Perhaps more.

It was why he was cautious, kept his distance. It was strange, walking amongst the surface with his own kind again. A feeling he had missed. He glides upon the ground, stopping a safe distance from the contained creature before him. What was it? He found himself trying a few things first. Could it see? He started off by moving a single tentacle in the air before it. Back, forth. Back, forth. Then he tried to make small shapes with his many tentacles. A goobie. A fish. A seahorse. Using the lighting nearby, he made shapes with the shadows. And last he tried sign language

But never, ever, did he get close to it. These agels... were they worth a possible death to rescue? That had yet to be seen. (349)

Lilac looks at the specimen, the planet they’d taken an emergency landing on inhabited with creatures of the same species as him and his brothers. Lilac had offered to help study the specimen, his goal being to help wake Tangerine at all cost.

The purple marked goobie slowly slid forward across the ground and glanced at the writhing mass, his ears flicking harshly as he watched it. Lilac hummed before letting out a chirp, one he’d learned from Callisto when they’d first found the other diab and was useful at making larger creatures think twice about lashing out.

He tilted his head this way and that before slowly circling around it and tapped his paw against the ground in a flutter of movement grimacing as his ear twitched wildly. He slowly moved away from the specimen and blinked back at his older brothers who were watching on in worry.

Lilac huffed before finally backing away, deciding to try and come back later on with something to try and give the creature to see if it would respond better to objects rather than sound or movement.
