*RAEG*Ah, the services industry. The only place where it's legal to treat workers like you own them and they are subhuman poos.
And fuse-like tails I suppose. This is sounding suspiciously like something someone would mod into DF's raw files.I think it already happened. If not, MUST HAPPEN.
"YOU MURDER PEOPLE FOR NO REASON.I find it hilarious that you focus on him rather than the 3 or 4 people who tried to end existence.
YOU DESTROY THINGS SIMPLY TO CAUSE CHAOS FOR YOUR OWN AMUSEMENT.
ONCE, MAYBE, YOU WERE GOOD, BACK WHEN YOU FOUGHT AGAINST BACON. BACK THEN YOU WERE A HERO, I SUPPORTED YOU.
NOW YOU ARE JUST A MURDERER, SEEKING TO DESTROY PEACE AND HARMONY WHEREVER YOU FIND IT. YOU ARE... A MONSTER."
inb4 someone points out the comparisons to the personal genocide thing...and the kitten is the bottle.
Exactly.
So, you take a kitten, pump it full of booze, light it's tail on fire, then throw with gusto.
The problem is that it wouldn't flare on impact; kittens aren't made of glass, after all. The only way a kitten molotov would work would be if you could throw the kitten fast enough for it to splatter on impact, releasing and igniting the contents. There's also the problem of the blood, gore, and wind snuffing out the tail; you'd normally lob a molotov in a relatively gentle arc, after all. So you'd have to soak pretty much the whole kitten before lighting it on fire, which in turn makes it a tad bit tricky to hold on to.
Genetically engineer it to be saturated with booze....and the kitten is the bottle.
Exactly.

That thing was pretty cool, although it basically depicted the eldritch being equivalent of a two-penny hooker.Ever wonder what Spongebob would look like if imitated by John Carpenter's The Thing? Here it is!That...Spoiler: Warning: Spongebob (click to show/hide)
... that looks a lot like the hugs and kisses elemental. Only, uh. Less. Less disturbing. *cough*
True, in a situation in which it is very likely based on what you know that you are being pursued with hostile intentions by one or more beings with unknown physical form, mental capabilities, or other abilities, it would make sense to be on watch for abnormalities in the situation so you could decide whether said abnormality was caused by the unkown being(s) pursuing you with malign intentions or not, but to remain that way all the time, even in situations where (by the particular paradigm you have) it is unlikely that you have hostile intentions projected toward you, is called paranoia, which I understand is rather taxing on the mental states of humans.Of course that's where considering possible bodily harm in a dangerous situation comes in, but there's still no point to worrying about something that's going to happen anyway.But What if it depends on you? You are getting a little arm-chair philosophy on me Xan, Opinions tend to change quiclky when in the situation. What if you're being hunted? If you don't care about that, you lack self-preservation.
Not really. If it can see you, it can do something to you, but you can't see it, and thus you're unaware of it's existence. Knowing that they may exist and may do stuff to you and trying to think up ways to prevent is what makes it scary. I just don't care. If it were to do something bad to me, I would attempt to stop it, but if I could not, it would have been pointless stressing myself out trying to delay the inevitable anyway. The true secret to courage, truth be told, is just not giving a shit.Dude, Giant Sponges infected by The Thing are essentially husks anyway. Stuff I can't see isn't scary.You see, that is bull. Just think about it for a minute. It can see you. It can always see you. And you can't see it. The Paranoia of this is terrifying.
There's a SCP which illustrates this. BTW, Click this..
Giant Sponges.* MaximumZero is lost.
