    So, /tg/. I'd like you to imagine the following situation.

    You awaken to the excited droning of a small group of humans in white lab coats, towering above you, ever so far away. It'd take you several minutes just to reach them. You're sitting in a fairly large, perfectly even rectangle of damp soil, with small bits of offal embedded in it. You see various others of your kind, dragging themselves across the soil, slurping up the offal they come across with big rubbery maws. You notice each of your kin has a pair of strange red symbols imprinted on their slick ivory bulks - and so do you.

    /tg/, you are a slug. A fat, white, ghastly looking slug. But you hold potentially that even you do not understand

    But that's not important at the moment. Those white-coated bastards! A closer look at your environment reveals culure plates containing your comrades, sliced and bisected.

    You've seen what they do to you. You've seen it over and over again. It's been imprinted into your tiny mind. Images of needle, elaborate machinery, measurement and prolonged life in cases where death would be by far the more preferable option. They're looking for something. Something that they think you have.

    In fact, your time has come. Your kin continued to blindly drag themselves about, while a white-gloved hand looms above you with a pair of tweezers, plucking your fat little body off of the soil, depositing it in a clean culture plate and carrying it towards some sort of lab table.

    So, /tg/. You're next. You're the next experiment. You're going to die for some reason you may never know, at the hands some white-coated humans.

    What would you do, in this situation?

    Lucid dreams are dreams in which the dreamer is aware that it is a dream.
    I don't really know what you're -trying- to getting at, but you're not getting there with this flailing.

    You feel slightly comforted by this... fact? No, this belief. You believe that after death, something will preserve what you knew in life and allow you to live in paradise for all eternity.

    ... Holy fuck, that's some deep shit, man. You've never thought about anything that you weren't physically aware of, yet alone imagined shit on this scale. What the flying fuck is going on here?

    Nonetheless, that doesn't stop the current situation. You rise and you fall and you rise and you fall with every step that the blasted scientist takes. It makes you want to fucking hurl. The tweezers pluck you up again and take you from your culture plate to a much smaller patch of soil, this time. Any attempt to escape it and you're met with an invisible barrier. There is still delicious offal in the soil, however. Observation reveals that one of the humans is droning away, while sticking a metal needle into a small glass bottle filled with some sort of fluid.

    >>6202508
    Unfortunately, there is no canister and you don't really have enough slime inside of you to build it up - although you do begin stashing away some of the lovely, lovely offal in the back of your gigantic fucking mouth.

    >>6202626
    You fall still once your mouth is packed full of lovely, lovely offal. But, nothing takes you away. You wait and you wait and you wait and all you hear and see are the humans preparing to torture you, just like they did to the rest of your kind.

    Finally, one of them reaches down with a pair of tweezers again, grabbing a culture plate and walking over to a sink, holding your bulk inches above the plastic plate. The tap is turned on and a waterfall of water splashes over your body, washing away the comfortable, moist layer of soil that you were bathing in. The tweezers are uncomfortably tight and the water keeps on bashing against you. It's really difficult to pretend to be dead like this.

    Fuck it. Tripping just for this thread.

    You seem pretty adamant on projectile vomit - well, adamant as can be with two votes on it.

    It's far from enough to hurt - but the scientist immediately fills something splash over its hand and a stink suddenly fills the air. Its fingers are partially covered in stinking, half-digested mince, brown and oily. In shock and disgust, the tweezers are immediately released and they clumsily clatter into the sink with quite a noise.

    Your heavy bulk lands partially in the culture plate, partially out of it - your body slips to one side, barely avoid a pair of fingers trying to catch you. You impact the slippery metallic surface of the sink, slowly increasing in velocity as you head towards the open drain. However, the tweezers are snatched up once more and they descend towards your body - you're not moving fast enough. Freedom is near, but not not near enough.

    What do you try and do?

    As soon as the tweezers close in, they snatch up your body - then at thin air. An abundant source of water combined with the slippery mucus that already covers your body is more than enough for you to escape from all but the firmest grip.

    Then begins the athletics. You slip and slide, from side to side, back and forth, up and down, round and round, rolling and rolling towards the centre of the sink, evading the grip of the tweezers with surprising grace. In one last show of defiance, you vomit up the last of what your innards contain, leaving a long, dirty stain on the metallic surface before you slip into the open drain.

    Wheeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeeee! This is fucking fun! It's like some sort of bizarre waterslide descending, descending, descending forever. If you had any food left inside of you, you'd be chucking it up. However, after your previous display, you do not.

    After what seems like an eternity, finally your heavy, white bulk splashes into a massive, dank sewer. This section of the sewers stinks of blood and chemicals and of the corpses of a thousand of your people.
    It smells delicious.
    It smells like freedom.

    So, /tg/. You're now a part of a strange new ecosystem beneath the earth. An endless maze of drains extends before you. What do you wish to do?

    You are starving after having thrown your guts up all over the white-coated humans. You attempt to locate the closest available source of nutrition in the area. You're primarily an insectivore but fuck, at the moment, you feel like you could eat anything.

    There's a problem though. There is one area of the sewer that's absolutely filled with food waste - probably coming from a fast food restaurant or something. Old, discarded meat, soggy fries, all of it stewing in a river of watered down soft drinks.
    Rats. A pack of rats appears to have made this location its home. Thankfully, they do not appear too big - there are enough of them that they are competitive, with only a handful of them being dreadfully large. If you compete with them, there's a chance that you might become the prey.

    They simply stare at you. One nibbles on a recently obtained french fry absent-mindedly.

    One of the larger rats paws at you, attempting to shove you from one side and then from the other. It leans closer and gives the surface of your body a long, slow, testing lick.
    It grimaces and it spits. It spits again, and again, and again. Giving your fat bulk one last shove away, it heads off. The other rats follow their leader, who is still spitting and grimacing.
    A poor runt of a rat that just managed to catch up with the rest of its pack turns around, following the group away, desperately trying to catch up.

    It appears that detailed communication is impossible at this stage - whether or not the images of peace, plenty and cooperation were conveyed or not are unknown.
    In the end, it seems like the rats aren't interested - except in perhaps peace. You don't bother them, they don't bother you. They don't appear to hae identified you as a threat.

    Feasting is surprisingly difficult. The rats are mostly focused around the drains where the food comes from, with the big male getting a gigantic portion, the rest of the pack feasting on most of the rest and the runt barely surviving off of the meager scraps that are left to flow down the sewer.

    You're forced to swim back and forth in the water, crawling through the waste, desperately trying to catch passing fries and meat-pieces. Normally, you'd be okay with having to live with hard work. It's what creatures do - they don't 'feel' anything about what they do. Yet, you feel a lack of satisfaction. Although the waste is fucking delicious, you're not really satisfied. Too much hard work for too little nutrition.

    There's a practically endless maze of sewers and drains down here. You've inhabited the same one as a pack of rats for the time being. They appear to be nesting near the opening that the waste flows down and they respond negatively to your approach.

    Still, you've got plenty of half-digested foodstuffs in your stomach - you're able to throw up once more. It seems to be your primary defensive mechanism.

    You catch a fragment of a soggy french fry and you drift towards the rat, discarding the fragment near it. The other creatures are too busy gorging to notice. The runt grabs it up and swallows it and when you return to your post, it follows curiously, stopping a short distance ahead of you - so it still has an advantage in catching food. But, if you have anything to offer, it's still willing to take it.

    A piece of packaging floats down the sewer, eventually. You notice them coming down. All sorts of stuff. Straws, plastic coverings, paper coverings... This was originally used to cover a burger, and there was a string to hold it all together. It's not exceptionally long - but it's fairly durable. You managed to swim over and catch the tip of it in your mouth.

    The runt has a look that says 'that is not food, you fucking moron' on its face.

    The runt watches you curiously and it attempts to sneak after you in a stealthy fashion - failing miserably - while still trying to keep up, trying to catch the fry that you're leaving unguarded. You lead it away, and towards another drain.
    Most of the drains seem to ascend, their waste flowing down towards the primary sewer in the current area.

    Slugs have both. I don't want to go around rubbing my eyes on things.

    Try and catch a small bit of food for Runt whilst observing the layout of the sewers. Are there any possible exits that we may access? What is in the East? What is East? All very important questions...

    Runt covers his head with his paws. Ow. Looks like he's got a bit of a migraine. Too much information in that thought there, buddy. He can't quite process it.
    After this, you decide to bath in the next obvious chemical flow. You jump into the sewage water and you swim over towards the next nearest pool of chemicals and it's a rather novel experience, to tell the trOHFUCKGETOUTGETOUTGETOUTGETOUTITBURNS

    The implications of this question are astounding, I don't think it's the sort of thing we should be devoting mental power towards thinking about. What is direction? Considering the realities of location and being? No sir, not today, not in this sewer.

    I get the fuck out of those chemicals and make a vow never to do that again, provided my injuries aren't too grievous.

    Get out. After the pain has passed. Get a cup to carry the chems in.
    Fire-water is the stuff of demons and should be understood to best know how to utilize and combat it.

    Runt stares at you as you squirm out of the chemical spill and into the normal contents of the sewer - diluted piss. It's quite soothing, after the previous experience - but your body does bare scars. Painful scars. Previously flawless alabaster flesh is now quite obviously burned and scarred. Every movement causes pain. It fucking hurts and it will definitely take you a while to recover from that mistake.

    Wait a minute, what about insects?
    Shouldn't sewers contain millions of insects?
    ... We DO need followers for the Slug-God, after all.

    Dry yourself on the Runt's fur and then build up a nice thick protective layer of slime.
    Proppa' Sluggy dat is.
