A Ripple in the Waters

[Rukellian]

Sliding out of the container, a fleshy goop creature of moderately small proportions positions idself on the ground. Id quivers for a bit then gasps as id breathes in the air around. Its two dark spots, that of which can only be described as the goop pile's eyes, maybe, looks around for a bit, taking in id's surroundings. The goop pile freezes immediately upon seeing the raised weapons pointed in id's direction following a flurry of shouts.

"P-please don't s-shoot," id asks in a weak and frightened voice. The vibrant blue pile of goop starts to quiver again, this time out of fright.

[tooleychris]

Lol. For those of u unfamiliar, dralasites, of which this is one, go thru different gender stages and do not refer to themselves as he or she. Instead they use a universal "Id" Good on you Ruke!

Alex jumps back even farther than he had planned, "Cripes! Gross!! What is that?"

[Scythius Equinus]

"First time I have ever been addressed by Jello." Shawn states flatly, Trying to keep a smile from his face, unsuccessfully.

[Argennian]

Abel's eyes go wide and his mouth drops open when the glob of goop speaks. He takes a couple of steps back but keeps his bow trained on it nonetheless. "That thing... it... it talked! And it speaks English! Alex, what in Sam Hill is that thing? Is it an alien?!"

[Rukellian]

The pile of blue goop seems to perk up upon hearing the term "Jello". No longer quite as frightened as id was a few moments ago, the goop pile says in a funny voice. "Berry Blue JELL-O, wiggly jiggly sweet and true! Goosh Goosh could be berry blue, but id thinks that the Goosh is a better dralasite, though id would not mind being a cupcake too."

Alex Auster

"Um, well, I think it's fair to say it's not human. Doesn't seem to be armed though . . ."
"Who, and, uh, what are you?" he asks.

[Argennian]

In a combination of fear of the unknown and fascination of curiosity as to how this alien...thing can speak English and also happens to know about jello, Abel takes a threatening step forward and barks out a follow up to his companion's query. He remains ready to fire his bow if the glob of whatever-it-is makes any sudden or dangerous moves. "You there, Jello-man! You'd better start givin up some answers to our friend and making sense, or by the sun and moon, you'll be wishing you did!"



OOC: welcome to the group, Rukellian!

[Rukellian]

"Goosh Goosh is Dralasite! Goosh Goosh is not JELL-O, though the goosh is an alien... id guesses. The Goosh is just glad that id is no longer in that cage. Goosh stuck in there for many man years, and Goosh doesn't want to go back in!" As Goosh Goosh finishes his introduction, again, his gelatinous form starts to quiver, while making an abrupt noise. "The Goosh thinks id needs foods now..." id drifts off as id starts to squirm around and look for something leafy to dissolve, picking up rocks and dirt along the way, as if id was sampling them too.

OOC: Thank you for the welcome I really think that Goosh Goosh will enjoy exploring this world with you guys!

Alex frowns when he realizes that his hopes of finding something valuable in what ends up to be a fancy cage seem to be dashed. He heads to the opening in the capsule to get a closer look inside to see if there is anything that can be salvaged, including the hatch that was pulled off, even, perhaps.

While looking, he says, "Well, Goosh - I suppose - my name is Alex. Is there anything in the capsule with you? And, what, exactly do you eat?"

[tooleychris]

The capsule is about 6' tall and spacious enoug, when not containing a dralasite cell, to accommodate a human.
Examination of the outer layers reveals an access hatch in the top that runs along the side for the entire length of the capsule. It has push button hatches instead of a hand latch. Turning the capsule to reveal more of it is not easy but clearing away the muck and mud reveals a second long hatch on the opposite side identical to the other one.

edit: kind a looks like a white photon torpedo from trek with a front window hatch and two side compartment s

Alex Auster

Alex smiles at finding the second hatch.

"Heyo! Stand back, I'm gonna try and open this one!" Alex rubs his hands together anxiously.

Once his companions are ready, he will examine and open the second hatch.

[tooleychris]

Pushing the buttons releases the latch which is on interior hinges. Within can be seen an airtight compartment that contains a rather futuristic looking crossbow with folding arms, a dagger made of blue metal, a metal case about a foot long, and a smaller metal case. They both have latches and are not locked.

[NJWilliam]

Alex Auster

Alex lets out a low whistle. "Hey guys, come and look at this!"

Alex picks up the crossbow and the knife before looking more closely at the smaller unlocked cases.
He'll then set them aside and open the smaller of the two cases, and if there is no mishap, then the larger.

we need to wait on Ruke to post before you even remove items

[Rukellian]

With some rocks and other floaty bits held in suspension within Goosh Goosh's gelatinous form, the goop pile proceeds to crawl towards the capsule id just came out of, all the while talking to Alex. "Goosh Goosh eats just about anything id can gets, rocks, plants, tiny creatures, but the Goosh prefers Earthen foods, especially sweets!"

Arriving at the capsule, the Goosh already finds Alex rummaging through id's stuff. (Oh boy... ) "Ah the bolt shooter, the Goosh almost forgots it!" The Goosh pauses for a moment as id takes in the situation, then quickly adds on: "You can have the dagger if you wants, but the Goosh cannot be safe without id's bolt shooter. Goosh Goosh has heard that Earth is a dangerous place...."

The Goosh again pauses for a moment and then abruptly enters into a sort of robotic speech (doesn't sound like a robot though, it has the rigidity of one): "The Masters know of the dangers of Earth and are right in cleansing it. The Masters are great and fair, and will change the planet for the better." Goosh Goosh falls silent afterwards and its two eyespots stare at the ground, then after a moment, it quivers again then resumes its conversation with Alex, almost as if nothing happened just a moment ago. "HOWEVER, if the Goosh were to be given a cupcake in exchange, the Goosh might just give up id's bolt shooter..."

[Argennian]

Abel lowers his bow when he senses that Alex no longer deems the Dralasite a threat. He cannot help but watch the alien as it moves along and listen intently when it speaks. He looks over at Shawn and shrugs.

When he sees Alex trying to tip the capsule to clear the other hatch, Abel slings his bow and moves forward to offer a helping hand. He continues to look back at Goosh Goosh every now and then, his curiosity getting the better of him. Once his companion removes the crossbow and gear, Abel's eyes light up. "Hello!"

As Goosh Goosh moves back over to the capsule, Abel steps back out of the way to give him room. When the Dralasite announces that the gear is his, Abel frowns and rolls his eyes sarcastically. "Figures," he mumbles to himself with a deflated look of false hope being dashed on the rocks of "sorry, not for you!"

While Alex and Goosh Goosh begin to discuss the gear, Abel unslings his bow and using his Heightened Vision, takes a careful look around to see if anyone or anything might be approaching their position. "We can't be the only ones that seen this capsule failing out of the sky..."

[Scythius Equinus]

" Whoa there my gelatinous friend." Shawn exclaims on hearing tne robotic voice. "Who or more to the point what are these masters interested in cleansing our planetary domicile?"

[Rukellian]

Goosh Goosh turns to Shawn and makes a litttle girgling sound. "What do you means? The cupcake is FAR more superior than the bolt shooter in Goosh's honest opinion. It's why the Goosh came here in the first place." Id pauses for a moment then starts to get excited as id asks, "do the masters know how to make cupcakes!?! The Goosh would sure like to meet them if they do!"It would appear as if Goosh Goosh is unaware of the episode id just had, and has mistaken Shawn's question for something else.

[Scythius Equinus]

"Interesting" Shawn says... "Where are you from Cus Cus?" Thinking of Cus Cus makes him feel the pains of hunger again
