"Wait! Why are we eating each other when we could be eating EVERYONE ELSE?"

CREATE A CLONE ARMY
EAT EVERYONE ELSE

Um, didn't this end poorly last turn?

Firstly, you decide to "meditate" to see if that regains Creativity. [7-5][-4 Creativity, +1 Confusion] You have no idea what's going on. What are you doing here? What IS here? What's the point of everything? You're not sure if you'll get enough food; what would be lost by just jumping into the Void? You decide not to go that far, but this kind of thought process drains you of your desire and ability to create and replaces it with confusion.

...It's sad.

Next, you decide that you're tired of wandering around, across floors that are often silver or covered with vomit, with no shirt or socks or shoes. First, you wipe your feet off in the Hell area. Then, you make some nice socks, a pair of shoes, and a shirt. [22,28;12,25;6,21] You make a pair of truly excellent wool socks, two nice shoes, and a pretty good sweater. You haven't felt particularly cold anywhere, but Hell is a bit warm, and who knows where you could go? Therefore, you decide to make the sweater thermoregulating. [27] The sweater turns a weird mix of purple, blue, and red, switching more to blue when you enter Hell. you feel drained now. Time to eat and heal, I guess. [+1 Nutrition, +2 Sugar] You feel a bit...energized. You rest to heal yourself, and feel slightly better but rather hungry.

Next, to fix this place up a little.

Um...that knife looks angry.


Oh, my! What could this be?

((Holy snarkvent, why are we at almost 30 billion years? I'm going to be essentially ignoring the "official" length-counter for now.)

"Welcome back to The Origin of Us, where I just do not get a BREAK! I know you've been enjoying commercials or something, but I have had to record all these clips back-to-back because this lazy docu-corp doesn't want to have to pay me over two days--oh, sorry. Yes, I know, tight schedule. Anyways, the Muffins evolved into Snickerdoodles, which were of course still excellent parents."
"They were also rather viscious..."
"...as shown by the sudden decline in various species."
"They also had a rather wide array of other abilities. Their inner ears had greatly enlarged in size, presumably giving them superior balance; their hands gained size and chitinous plates; a third arm, excellent for clasping and crushing, sprouted from their undersides--presumably allowing them to feed on hard nuts--and tentacles now supported the electric organs, giving the Snickerdoodles enhanced electrical senses. Most incredible of all was the transformation of their hind legs..."
"...into wings.
"While they hunted many creatures, and while many creatures hated them..."
"But the Snickerdoodles have a trick up their [sleeve]..."
"...which lets the species develop a relationship based on not being eaten or killed. Of course, these weren't the only relations between species at this time..."
"...but they're important because the script says so.
"Around this time, a meteorite struck Slendermints."
"In addition, they sometimes met a strange creature--Rhydos lidda, a mighty browser who the Snickerdoodles avoid."

We've got a lot of DNA right now. What shall we do with it, if anything?

Also, keep in mind that our Complexity is pretty high right now...

Presumably because either:

1. Betweenford told Floe he's an angel and she believed him.
2. Someone else told Floe he's an angel and Ford just played along.
3. Floe is trying to convince Betweenford that he's an angel.
4. Betweenford is wearing a magical disguise that makes him look like an angel to Floe.
5. Betweenford is an angel.
6. Betweenford's full name (sans middle) is Angel Betweenford.
7. His name is Betweenford Angel.

Alright, I can live with that answer. If we assume it's true, of course.

As long as freeform's being asked questions, I'd like to repeat one I had for him that it's making me a bit nervous that it hasn't been answered yet.

Alright, I'm going to go with the following for the starting party. It was a lot harder to choose than it normally is. Sooo many good applications...

Mind if I ask what it was about my character that made it not chosen so that I can fix it for later/my next character after my current waitlister gets added and inevitably killed?

Kill the guy attacking shadowdragon

Respawn.

Kill the guy attacking shadowdragon

Aid action.

[3+1v2] Success! Wait, what?

CREATE MORE SOULS OF MYSELF
CONSUME MY CLONED SOULS
POWER LEVEL: DEMIGOD

[6] A dozen clones created! Randomly assigning you one. No one can agree on who gets to eat who, so here we go...
[4v3v4v4v6v2v6v6v2v5v4v5v3] Oof. Alright...the original does pretty well, but Clones V and IIX are killed, Clone XII is wounded, and Clones IV, VI, and VII damage themselves. You are Clone IX, so you're fine. You also helped kill IIX.
Clone V: [5v6v6v3v6-1v2-1v3-1v2v2v1v2-1] Clones I and II wound each other fighting over V, so O and IV claim bits of V.
Clone IIX: [3v5-1v4-1v6v2-1v5-1v4-1v2v2v4v5-1] III claims IIX, but ends up being killed by the others.
Clone III: [1v3-1v3-1v6-1v3-1v6-1v3v3v6v3-1] This prize is shared betwixt IV and VII.
Note that these bonuses only apply for the infighting; the bonus will decrease for other purposes.

:/ Damn. No reverse dice psychology.

You probably would have gotten a 6 if I had rolled.

cause a random effect.

[2] Nope. (Note: I actually did roll.)

Get Weapons of Mass Destruction. Fire Weapons of Mass Destruction at Hell.

[2] No WMDs. Stupid nonproliferation treaties, trying to keep the world safe...

Milk Cthulhu for every resource possible, and create a massive cheesecake army.
Promote the cheesecake squire to Knight of Cheese.

Do you mean that literally?
[6] You create a cheesecake army, combining all of your and Cthulhu's assets. Cthulhu points to the bit of the contract that gives him full control over the warriors, and promptly forces you to surrender the rest of your rights to the army at cakepoint. You are drafted!

Flirt with the boss and go steady.

[6] You promptly get married.

look for a portal to WW2

[2] No luck.

The logical solution would be to turn Ciro into a Citrus Mage, master of acidic fruit juices.

How would that...ah. Well, that's one problem solved, and one sadness gained that I understood what you meant.
Of course, we'd need the orange rifle to have some kind of teleportation or similar ability. We'd also need oranges.
