☘ 046; [video]

So now that things quieted down a bit, what's anyone actually make of these things?

[Lancer was poking and prodding at a Goomy Bloober that sat on the table in front of him. If anything, the little slime seemed to be enjoying it. At least, that might have been what those blubbing noises meant. After a minute of scrutinizing the little creature like that, he shrugged and turned to face the camera properly, head on his hand.]

I've been here a long time, and I don't think I've ever seen anything like them. Not that I'm complaining--something interesting was long overdue around here, you know? It gets damn repetitive around here--but nah, that's probably a discussion for another day if I haven't said as much before.

[He shrugged, and next to him the little slime inched itself off-camera and out of sight. Not seeming to notice that, Lancer continued:]

Back to what I was talking about...how exactly do you train something you don't know the first thing about? I ain't an expert on training techniques, but getting it to listen isn't the problem. Fighting in itself without knowing these things' abilities or weaknesses is going to be nearly impossible.

[As Lancer considered this, the Bloober that had been on the table was now in the background...somehow having managed to climb a bookshelf. Yeah, this'll go well.]

The best I can guess so far is they're probably resistant to water, seeing how they practically live off of it-- [Finally realizing all was not well, Lancer raised his head off his hand and glanced around.] ...huh? Amhrasach?

[Apparently sensing incoming disaster, Lancer slowly looked over his shoulder...and immediately found a ball of 60% slime and 40% giant mouth diving for what probably passed for a hug.]



WHAT THE F--

[AMHRASACH used TACKLE!]

[Critical hit! It connected directly with Lancer's face and full-on knocked him off his chair and out of sight with a crash.]

[Ireland's greatest hero, folks.]
