Pika 16-Mar-21 05:12 PM

Ah point

I still wonder if it would be possible to use diplomacy here, but maybe not if it's somehow part of the machine army or something.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:12 PM

...It just melted through half a tree in the infected thicket.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:12 PM

Welp.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:13 PM

Well not half but. made it to the halfway mark in one of them.

So it's acidic. Good to know. I'm still not entirely convinced it won't try to hurt one of us if it gets over here.

Malaki 16-Mar-21 05:15 PM

...it's acidic like cartoon acid is

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:15 PM

Think you could stay away from it long enough to determine how hostile it is?

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:17 PM

It's closing in kind of quickly, so not without some more stuff likely getting destroyed, but yeah. I'm not an exact expert on non-fusion slime science, so sue me if I call something acidic when it's actually some kind of... I dunno, matter-destruction or molecular-bond-disintegrating effect or something.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:17 PM

Ah

Maybe you could move a little closer, and book it if it attacks?

Try to fight back however you can.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:18 PM

I'll just make a metal stick. That ought to be cheap and easy.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:18 PM

Nice

'Hit it with a stick' is a classic for a reason

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:20 PM

I think I made it a bit dense, but whatever works. I'm not exactly good in a fight, so KISS principles apply. It's light enough that I can still do a good jog down there, anyways.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:21 PM

Good

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:21 PM

Okay, it definitely is approaching me specifically.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:21 PM

Welp.

Does it respond to speech?

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:21 PM

"Please leave."

...Nope.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:22 PM

Welp.

Thwack.

If it doesn't back off, I guess you'd just need to wack it until it either leaves or dies.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:23 PM

When in doubt, I guess... I'm gonna chuck the stick at it, since it's made of primarily fusion matter.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:23 PM

Ah, good idea

...Fusion matter water balloons.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:23 PM

Ooh. Yeah, it seems like it's trying, and failing, to absorb it.

randomhuman44 16-Mar-21 05:23 PM

what is this thing, anyway?

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:24 PM

Near as I can tell, Dog-Sized Enemy Slime.

If it wanted to tell me, it sure didn't bother trying hard to.

Had the fusion matter in the stick disperse, that seems to have... I really hope that thing didn't have any level of sapience, come to think of it. I just killed it.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:26 PM

Even if it was, it was aggressive.

This was self-defence.

Even so, that's a good feeling to have.

It would be a problem if you didn't feel remorse over this.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:27 PM

I'm honestly a little disturbed by how easy it was to just kinda jump to 'I should kill it,' as far as mindset goes.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:27 PM

I mean, that's kinda what I jumped to as well.

'Does it respond? No? Kill it.'

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:28 PM

I mean, you said 'hit it'. I went further.

And even still, there's a difference between the medium you see my world and how I do. The text garbling fiasco proves that much.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:30 PM

I said 'hit it until it backs off or dies'.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:30 PM

...I'm not even sure whether or not I'm putting the correct amount of emphasis on the life of a weird slime thing.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:30 PM

Anyway, if you think this is a problem, then it's something you know about and can improve on.

Next time you get into a fight, you can try to think of different ways out of it.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:31 PM

Could probably do better than 'inject it with something that makes it dissolve' yeah.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:31 PM

Obviously, you won't always be able to go full Undertale in every fight, but you can set some ground rules and see if you can form some good habits.

Yeah

Maybe you could ask Artisan to make some sort of capture weapons.

That way, you'd be able to learn about whatever's attacking you.

If it's a one-note aggressive monster, then you know about it and can exploit or kill it.

If it's not, then you learn about it.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:32 PM

Yeah, that's a good idea, actually. Worst comes to worst, I may get more resources that way, too.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:32 PM

Exactly.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:33 PM

Let's hope that was all that was in store for today.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:33 PM

Yeah.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:34 PM

...Wow, Artisan's getting this thing set up fast.

I think, if things keep going this way, Artisan might be able to get another one set up before I'm ready to head to bed.

Or at least get close.

On one hand, I'm tempted to put it directly south of the currently in progress terrafuser. On the other, that'd block off the western area from getting built on with uncorrupted ground, and if there's non-hostile non-fusion humanoids out there...

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:38 PM

Hmm

If there's a chance of getting normal people here, then I'd say wait on it.

As far as we know, you have all the time in the world.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:39 PM

As far as we know. When you put it like that, it's actually a little relaxing. And then I remember Greed's a thing that could pop back up any day.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:40 PM

Yeah. That's why I tacked on the 'afawk'

But you've already kicked Greed's ass once.

Unless they decide to come back with more shit, then you're golden.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:41 PM

True. Here's hoping Greed won't pull more stuff out of his ass to ruin my time.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:41 PM

Yeah. Fuck that guy. (edited)

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 05:41 PM

Mhm

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:41 PM

Hope you take off his other arm.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 05:41 PM

Fuck all of him

randomhuman44 16-Mar-21 05:44 PM

does he even need to pull more stuff out of his ass? I feel like he probably could have beaten JJ back then if only he was willing to expend the whole fire orb rather than just use smaller fireballs. And who knows what you can do with other sigs? Shoot boulders? Summon wood to bind your foes like discount Hashirama?

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:45 PM

True... Had an idea, actually, one second. This might free up some time for me to work on stuff.

"Hey, Artisan, how long until you're gonna be done with that?"

Fusion Artisan BOT 16-Mar-21 05:46 PM

"Might be a bit after you clock out, maybe an hour or so, judging by your voice. Why do you ask?"

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:47 PM

"Do you need sleep? If not, I'd like you to gather up the resources hanging around the island, see if there's anything new you can find. I'd have JJ do it, but I think you've got better odds of not accidentally breaking the net."

"If it's not something that'd distract from your work, of course. This is just something to do in the interim."

Fusion Artisan BOT 16-Mar-21 05:49 PM

"Hmm... I could probably just make something to tackle the busywork, if you're looking to offload it to someone or something capable enough."

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:51 PM

What do you guys think? We'll be getting a new source of fusion matter shortly to help with the current supply, but it'll likely still cost something. ...Also noticed Artisan dodged the sleep question, but that's neither here nor there.

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:53 PM

I think it'd be worth it.

Get some more hands on deck to help take care of things.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:54 PM

"Whatever you've got in mind, go for it - So long as it won't be knocking buildings over or anything."

Fusion Artisan BOT 16-Mar-21 05:55 PM

"Thanks. I'll probably need about six fusion matter or so, but it should be worth it. That way, we both can get some rest and recovery."

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:55 PM

^

I think it's a good plan

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:56 PM

...I can hear the eyebrow wiggles in their tone. They don't even have eyebrows. I... How am I supposed to process being flirted at by something I theoretically made?

"Six standard units of fusion matter. Once you're done here, go for it."

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:57 PM

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:57 PM

I'm going to lie down

Pika 16-Mar-21 05:57 PM

Yeah fair

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 05:58 PM

Mhm

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 05:59 PM

This is just a little too weird for me, y'know?

...I say, having potentially started a slime war.

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:13 PM

"If you could find the time at some point or another to make a net gun of some sort, that'd also be good. No rush, though."

Fusion Artisan BOT 16-Mar-21 06:13 PM

"'Kay. You sound tired, Fuse, you should get some sleep."

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:14 PM

"...I might just do that, yeah."

Think I'll head off for the night. Take care, guys.

...update, its like the middle of the night, or whatever counts for that. im still tired as hell but artisan is in bed with me. help

Pika 16-Mar-21 06:19 PM

Lol

Looks like you've gotten yourself some company ;)

[I, a person who'd instantly nope out of that kinda situation, says]

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:20 PM

im gonna have to talk with artisan about this in the morning, im not happy about this

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 06:20 PM

Mhm

Pika 16-Mar-21 06:20 PM

Yeah, that's fair

Get some boundaries set.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 06:21 PM

Yep

You are already going mad

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:21 PM

as it stands i can't really feel my arm due to them laying on it and im too exhausted to shove them off

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 06:21 PM

Just embrace it

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:22 PM

...

Pika 16-Mar-21 06:22 PM

Think you could gently pull out?

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 06:22 PM

Don’t think so

Pika 16-Mar-21 06:22 PM

Wait no that came out wrong

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:22 PM

phrasing i can try

Pika 16-Mar-21 06:22 PM

Pull away.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 06:23 PM

What about repositioning it so its more hugging

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:23 PM

god damn where's the joint in my arm

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 06:23 PM

Probably under the green robot

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:24 PM

i know, i just. decided to try turning onto my other side to face away from them, and my arm all but bent backwards.

i am not fond of these surprises my new anatomy brings.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 06:25 PM

Huh

It hurts?

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:26 PM

no. im pretty sure normally i'd pull muscles in my shoulder all the way up to my neck like this normally though? like... if i was human, i guess. still do not like saying that.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 06:26 PM

Fair

But if it doesn’t hurt can you sleep

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:27 PM

my arm is still kinda numb, i'd rather try to get it out from under the robot.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 06:27 PM

Fair

Wait try to pull yourself away

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:27 PM

i'm making some progress on it from this angle though. o

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 06:28 PM

Continue then

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:28 PM

fuck. psychic chat enter key is a motherfucker.

Pika 16-Mar-21 06:28 PM

Yup.

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 06:28 PM

Mhm

Pika 16-Mar-21 06:28 PM

That's a pretty constant issue with psychic chats

Lucky_Plucky21 16-Mar-21 06:28 PM

Yep

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:28 PM

i am pulling away slowly but surely. you guys have experience with other psychic chats? am i not the only one out here you guys are talking to?

Pika 16-Mar-21 06:29 PM

Yeah, this is kind of a hub for interdimensional chatfuckery

There's a bunch of other people and groups we're helping out

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:30 PM

ah... sounds like i'm in capable hands, then. i'm relieved.

Pika 16-Mar-21 06:30 PM

By 'hub' I mean discord server full of internet randos

But at least we have experience?

randomhuman44 16-Mar-21 06:31 PM

yeah don't be relieved so fast lol

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:31 PM

too late, i have 5 brain cells and they are all reassured.

Pika 16-Mar-21 06:32 PM

Mood

I'm three half-dead brain cells in a trenchcoat, so that's 8 brain cells between us (edited)

randomhuman44 16-Mar-21 06:32 PM

...do fusions actually have brain cells

Pika 16-Mar-21 06:33 PM

I mean, if the outside looks like a green human, then the inside could too.

They're just fusion brain cells

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:33 PM

my arm is free. my obligation to free it has ended. i cannot be asked to free myself entirely. ...i mean if you wanna get technical about it, we are technically just brain cells. it's just they have other functions too.

randomhuman44 16-Mar-21 06:33 PM

fusion matter is weird lol

Fuse BOT 16-Mar-21 06:34 PM

yeah. honestly i'd rather just be a crappy baseline human again.

no offense, or anything. i just miss food.

anyways, im gonna try to actually sleep again. good night, for real this time.
