new-ness!

A pig-like creature that wants you to eat it. Solves the whole vegetarian conundrum. Sign on to messenger already and I’ll give you a proper explanation. :slight_smile:

Before everyone takes off to that restaurant, perhaps we should deal with all the chopped up villagers lying in front of the door conecting the Complex to the Vale? No point in having every scavenger and disease carrier right outside the door.

Hrmmm, no using insects this time, that just didn’t work out like I expected. … I know!..

Everyone step back through the door, into the complex and leave this to me.

Concentrates

The ground turns to mud, the chopped villagers sink into the earth, the mud turns back to solid ground

There, that should do it ~schloop~ The ground under EarthStone turns to mud and sucks him down

I’m going to be offline till Monday

Ahh, very good work, troops. Another crisis averted. So…now what?

Any newbies out there need a run through the new and improved Initiatron 2000?

Hey, that reminds me…to answer everyone who had complaints about the first run of the Initiatron 2000, let me just point out two things – 1) EarthStone777 was the one who went through. Dude’s made of rock! Of course he wasn’t that shaken up by the ordeal. 2) He only went through half the initiation! If you recall, he was accidentally dropped into the control room. That’s only the mid-point of the Initiatron 2000. He still had the three most mentally devastating initiation stations to go!

Anyway…anyone got any Initation Complex-improvement ideas? Any new business? Or should I just hit this green button and release one of my latest creations?

NO! DON’T PRESS THAT —
… button :smack: . Well, here we go again. :rolleyes:

But… it’s so beautiful! How could anything like that be harmful?

Really! Not everything I genetically engineer is done for destructive purposes…(Hmmm…destructive porpoises…gotta add that to the list)…for example, the lovely creature you’re looking at is the combination of a beautiful gazelle, combined with the DNA from RYBTP’s pet yak.

The combination gives us a lithe, agile creature with long, shimmery fur. It truly brings a tear to the eye. Ladies and gentlemen, I give you the Gak!

Errr…ok, maybe a better name can be worked out later.

It brings a tear to the eye alright… why does it smell like onoins?

Beautiful plumage, though.

Oooooooooo, it is pretty. It’s friendly, right?
:: goes over to pet the … the, er … how about we call it a yazelle? ::

Beautiful, aye. It’s just a pity how those huge yak-horns are making it’s pretty little head at the end of it’s gazelle-graceful neck never get more than three inches off the floor…

The yak-horns could be of light and foamy construction… but, knowing Hal, they aren’t. Look at it this way: eventually the yazelle will have really strong neck muscles.

Oh, no no no…they’re quite light. Hollow, actually. They’d have to be, of course…how else could she inject the venom?

Did I not mention the puff adder DNA in the mix?

:eek:

Oh Hal… you are so twisted

[M. Night Shamalan]What a twist![/MNS]

Oh, of course - so it’s head is in the proper position for a snake… perfect for striking! Why didn’t I see it before? :dubious:

Hal, you’ve got issues, man…

The real question at the moment is, IMHO, does the yazelle have any issues. I’m uneasy about the way it’s moving aroung the walls of the room…

No no, you should all be fine. It’s very friendly, as long as it’s not abused, and it only uses its horns for hunting prey. Again, you’re fine there – it only eats small game such as rabbits, squirrels and the like, as well as the occasional interdimensional spatial being or mythical goddess.

Ooo…hmmm, ok…some of you might wanna steer clear.

Pffft. As if anything could get through the spacetime surrounding me if I didn’t want it to.

Uh, SR47, you seem to hve a big welt on you’re leg. Looks to me like the sort of wound that a poison carrying tooth or horn might leave.

Ah crap. Really should have been paying more attention. Well, I suppose I could reverse the flow of time in the volume immediately surrounding my injured leg, and thus prevent the injury from ever occurring in the first place, but I think I’ll just grab one of the handy puff adder antivenom syringes in this drawer here. Gotta give Hal some credit for taking precautions, I suppose.

:: injects leg with antivenom ::

Ahh, that’s better.

Say, anyone seen Clothahump recently? I could have sworn I saw him downstairs a while back…
