Pain, Suffering, and Observing Creatures [Completed]

[cobalt raven]

so much more to unlock

[full ember]

It’s the Vulture Gang

[rain crown]

some of the unlocks will be hunter-exclusive

I think... ||9?||

[cobalt raven]

oh interesting

they came at me...all of em

oh wow

I think Ik what i'm going to do now...

get tf outta here and get wormithy, then go to plantation and enter sky from there

that is if I can figure out where tf I am

and not get distracted

which is probably going to happen

nhbegdtyswhu

[stark goblet]

[cobalt raven]

took me a while, but I finally captured and can now hibernate with fly

bleh

this place is a nightmare

I just went in a giant circle

I feel like I am missing something, the region can't be that small...can it?

they are crowding

Fancy coloured pearl!

I need someone to lmk rq, does walking over and revealing it count as picking it up? I don't want to loose another pearl to the rain T-T

[edgy juniper]

I think if it moves, it counts

[cobalt raven]

welp, imma die soon anyways

[edgy juniper]

not sure exactly but I would recommend yoinking it

[cobalt raven]

I'm not sure where to go from here

you'd expect the sky islands to go higher

[polar sail]

they are pretty high

[cobalt raven]

this is as high as I've been able to go

many pearl in this palce

place

Should I keep exploring?

[full ember]

I love the SI pearls

They are cool

[alpine frigate]

It never hurts to do so map can help with finding places you haven't been to
I'd just recommend storing all the coloured pearls you find into some shelter, just in case

[cobalt raven]

hmm okie

getting food here be very annoying

managed to store two, I'll go for the other two next

[errant jackal]

[cobalt raven]

pls help gerald

[granite sundial]

helps Gerald

[edgy juniper]

Gerald doesn't look like he needs any help!

[cobalt raven]

I'm asking Gerald for help lol

[granite sundial]

I kno, was just being silly

[cobalt raven]

sir....shooo

success!

OI, GET OUT

THEY TOOK ONE

[bleak zenith]

[cobalt raven]

NEBHWGTSYUS

[errant jackal]

[cobalt raven]

[errant jackal]

[cobalt raven]

I HATE THEM

[bleak zenith]

Solution, kill them before they steal /j

[bleak zenith]

[cobalt raven]

[errant jackal]

[cobalt raven]

THAT'S THE THING, THEY DIDNT, THEY ARE COMING FROM NOWEHERE

[frosty arch]

[cobalt raven]

THIEFS

[errant jackal]

kill

[cobalt raven]

I'm trying T-T

[spark valley]

I would reccomend using a different region for pearl storage

[lime axle]

Usually I like scavs but this warrants murder

[errant jackal]

||or use a shelter they can't reach||

[errant jackal]

same

[cobalt raven]

I can't even leave my shelter without them storming in

[bleak zenith]

How

[cobalt raven]

idk T-T

They seem to be gone now

DON'T YOU DARE

[errant jackal]

why do they have like pearl radars

[lime axle]

FR

[bleak zenith]

Murder
Kill them all

[lime axle]

What happened with you and scavs

[cobalt raven]

HO AWAY

I hate them

I really do

[frosty arch]

just read the glowshroom pages! wonderful ort and neat facts as always

[bleak zenith]

A LOT

[cobalt raven]

I fucked up and slept with it

murder.

[frosty arch]

oh . . .

[cobalt raven]

another one just tried to enter

I killed it

I killed this one too

[errant jackal]

[bleak zenith]

Cas murder route confirm

[cobalt raven]

dead scav + fly + me

tight fit

I'm keeping that body there as a warning

I'm done here, I'm taking my porls and leavin

You have got to be kidding me

[full ember]

I love doing that

It funny

[topaz flume]

Gotta love physics

[bleak zenith]

How the hell does that happen

[granite sundial]

me too

[alpine frigate]

Slugcats have one hell of a grab

[cobalt raven]

I'm so tired of this place T-T

I need to lure a lizer in here so I can get rid of this annoying body

[midnight fable]

oh god a lot happened

what did i miss?

[cobalt raven]

scavengers

stealing

[polar sail]

a murder apparently

[cobalt raven]

MY PEARLS

I'M TOO WEAK TO DRAG THE BODY OUT HELP

[edgy juniper]

went to the Sky Islands

found a bunch of pearls

[alpine frigate]

btw there is backup system if you want to retrieve them.
Your choice obviously

[edgy juniper]

scavengers also found a bunch of pearls

they were the same pearls

[midnight fable]

wooo!!!

[cobalt raven]

I still have all my pearls

[midnight fable]

[cobalt raven]

I'm just annoyed

and stuck

[alpine frigate]

Oh nice, even the coloured ones?

[cobalt raven]

yes, 2 coloured ones

[alpine frigate]

Nice

[midnight fable]

oh yay

[polar sail]

[cobalt raven]

i want out now ;-;

luring a lizard is harder than it looks

like

suddenly they just don't want to eat you

[alpine frigate]

Did you try pinning a spear so you don't need to jump?

[cobalt raven]

i'll try

omg you're a star, tysm

get fed to the predators, asshole

I accidently became a snack too LMAO

this is pleasant

slay

[sterile sand]

so cas has entered her villain arc?

[cobalt raven]

they started it :(

popcoen

[sterile sand]

soon enough you will become fine mass murderer

[cobalt raven]

ty

I'm out of this place

I need to get back to wormithy

[bleak zenith]

Did you bring the pearls?

[cobalt raven]

the pearls are safe for now, what I need to do rn is like get back to wormithy because I cant stand walking around like a pheasant

[topaz flume]

aWalking around is the best part

[bleak zenith]

Are you sure they're safe

[cobalt raven]

yes, I'm pretty sure when you leave an area the game saves and the area doesn't proceed until you return. I checked the pearls just as I entered the gate

plantation

oh god not the platforming

[bleak zenith]

Mmmk I sure hope they stay safe because that would really suck if they disappeared

[cobalt raven]

THE GAME IS HARASSIMG ME WITH PEARLS

[polar sail]

[bleak zenith]

[cobalt raven]

I'm free!

[bleak zenith]

smol den

[cobalt raven]

idc, im just happy to be free :D

[bleak zenith]

That's fair

Go return to Wormithy

[edgy juniper]

kinda cramped actually

not that free

[cobalt raven]

I must retrieve wormithy now

[bleak zenith]

He needs you

[cobalt raven]

nom de porl

why of all places would I hear bells over here?

Funny looking at the map rn, I was actually pretty close to discovering this gate sooner

[polar sail]

bells?

[cobalt raven]

yes bells, like the ones in memory cript but louder

this scav is lowkey kinda pretty

screw y'all I ain't paying no taxes

[bleak zenith]

Murder route

[cobalt raven]

cat graffiti!

another porl!

They have pearls here....I saw...they grabbed em and ran away as soon as they saw me...count yours days...

they killed me -_-

[granite sundial]

was there a discernable reason

[cobalt raven]

i despise them

I AM NOT PAYING TAXES TO GET PAST

i was so close

ty lizzie, I will need to repay you somehow

Lizards support tax evasion

I think that's enough shenanigans for one day, I can't risk loosing any more of my braincells

[sudden remnant]

why not relocate multiple at once,,,

[cobalt raven]

Frogs knock em out of my hands, and I simply cannot be bothered to deal with them

[edgy juniper]

frogs

[sudden remnant]

I mean as in

go from shelter to shelter a few times

take a few rounds

and then take them one by one at shoreline

[edgy juniper]

that's what they did

[sudden remnant]

ah

[edgy juniper]

that's the gate to Shoreline

[cobalt raven]

I do that up until shaded, and then one by one

[sudden remnant]

dang my brain

[cobalt raven]

xD

[pallid wadi]

Yeah the frogs can be SO annoying when you’re carrying stuff

Or even when you’re not

[edgy juniper]

Yeah the frogs can be SO annoying when you're

[cobalt raven]

I think that once I get wormithy back I'm going to pay five pebbles a visit and steal a braincell

[pallid wadi]

Hell appreciate that indeed :P

[cobalt raven]

maybe even attempt to steal some of his pearls

might steal a bomb and throw it in there as well to see what happens

[errant jackal]

becoming a scav

[cobalt raven]

shh

I'd like to think of myself as my own category of annoying

[pallid wadi]

I love having random rodents animals charging into my room and setting off a bomb!!

[cobalt raven]

I AM NOT A RODENT

[topaz flume]

You are a rodent :3

[errant jackal]

rodent

[cobalt raven]

[pallid wadi]

[cobalt raven]

[errant jackal]

[granite sundial]

mayhaps

[pallid wadi]

[stark goblet]

You are

Roden

[bleak zenith]

Rodan

[granite sundial]

Rohan

[stark goblet]

Calls for aid?

[cobalt raven]

Stawp bullying poor scug

[stark goblet]

Mouse 🫵

[bleak zenith]

Narrr /j

[cobalt raven]

I will smack y'all with wormithy's tongue

[stark goblet]

[errant jackal]

what if it's a compliment

[cobalt raven]

What if it's a really bad word in slugcat language

[frosty arch]

erm no calling others bad words
that's bad

[cobalt raven]

[bleak zenith]

https://tenor.com/view/slugcats-rain-world-gif-9079378395460751090

[cobalt raven]

I'm going to use a token to get back to Wormithy tmr

He's worth it, plus I'd like to see the cool art

[stark goblet]

Ofc

[cobalt raven]

appears

I just had a thought

yk the skull tree that scavengers hang around? They decorate said skull with porl and red paint

It looks like the grass striders from plantation's skull

which is a bit weird considering I've seen one all the way at garbage wastes

like how did it get there T-T

okay bye again

disappears

[uncut walrus]

That happened

[rain crown]

trebuchet

[granite sundial]

they ran

[full ember]

Finally, someone who says the far superior siege weapon

[cobalt raven]

What's a tebuchet

[silver yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/catapult-swing-fire-battle-war-gif-15426286

good meowning cas

[cobalt raven]

ohhhhh

good mornin

[silver yoke]

my friend playing rw for the first time got to FP

[cobalt raven]

fp?

[silver yoke]

Fifth Pebble

[cobalt raven]

YAY

[granite sundial]

looks to the pebbles

[sudden remnant]

they used randommachines to carry the skull to garbage wastes

[granite sundial]

five moons

[cobalt raven]

no

[cobalt raven]

stop

[cobalt raven]

I doubt they be that smort

[silver yoke]

cas don't click ||they used batfly glitch||

[cobalt raven]

BUT I REALLY WANNA CLICK

[silver yoke]

then click

You have no context for it anyways lol

[cobalt raven]

i did

true

[sudden remnant]

I think they might have used some ultraspecific gate

maybe even

[silver yoke]

They used the super secret FA -> GW gte

[cobalt raven]

or just hunted them to extinction in the other areas

[silver yoke]

that goes through 4 hundred billion worm grass

[potent quarry]

they walked the creature to the place and unalived it there.

[sudden remnant]

um actually it's called LF in code

[silver yoke]

You know who else is called LF in code

[cobalt raven]

Y'all with your abbreviations

[potent quarry]

yeah

[sudden remnant]

these farms... they're so... linear

[silver yoke]

rain world abbreviations are tame compared to the things I've seen in celeste tech

[sudden remnant]

skull

[potent quarry]

wounce

[silver yoke]

Have you heard of gsbttuhbwrtsbdrptnddrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdrdruragia3fwan

[cobalt raven]

;-;;;

i dont want to

[silver yoke]

what about mb6fbhsphdrcb

[cobalt raven]

nope

[potent quarry]

not heard about that one.

DTS is a simple one.

[silver yoke]

not even a cassoosted fuper

[cobalt raven]

nop

[sudden remnant]

honestly the best the scavs could do is go the intended game route and go industrial - garbage to transport that skull

[potent quarry]

casset busted (something) super ?

[cobalt raven]

dont touch sand?

[silver yoke]

feather

[potent quarry]

Dash Trigger Skip.

[cobalt raven]

oh

[silver yoke]

Oh you mean oil skip?

step 1 cover yourself in oil

[potent quarry]

step 2 float.

[sudden remnant]

do you think the scavs had a comically large amount of squidicadas lift the skull

[granite sundial]

i see where this is going...

[granite sundial]

o hhere we go

[silver yoke]

They used one million wormithys

[cobalt raven]

wormithy!

[silver yoke]

that's why there's rarely any wormithys in the game!!

[sudden remnant]

maybe they covered the skull in oil

[cobalt raven]

LOL

[silver yoke]

Step 1 : Cover skull in oil
Step 2 : Wait for it to rain
Step 3 : ?

[sudden remnant]

amazing how those things survive the rain

[silver yoke]

https://tenor.com/view/rain-world-downpour-plushie-rivulet-flying-gif-6225021008584662549

[cobalt raven]

thats how garbage wastes got polluted

[granite sundial]

oil floats on water

[sudden remnant]

or maybe.... they replaced them every single day

[cobalt raven]

woah

[sudden remnant]

bone crushing rain after all

[cobalt raven]

do scugs have bones?

[sudden remnant]

bet they gave em in those treasuries

yeah probably

[silver yoke]

Good question

[granite sundial]

the aliens did it

[sudden remnant]

weird bald rodent

[cobalt raven]

i wonder about anatomy of scug

[cobalt raven]

get out.

[sudden remnant]

human sized brain

but they are!!!

[cobalt raven]

no rodenting

[cobalt raven]

i refuse

[sudden remnant]

(slug cat is a community name)

from a YouTube comment section I belive

[granite sundial]

clug sat

[silver yoke]

slugcat was a fanmade name cas did you know that

[cobalt raven]

IT IS?

:0

[silver yoke]

Yeah a fan literally made it and then the devs said "oh thats cool were yoinkingg that"

[potent quarry]

bear create :)

[sudden remnant]

bear

[granite sundial]

imagine being the guy that unkowingly named slugcats

[silver yoke]

On the Rain World Dev Logs, the Slugcat was originally referred to as “Bear Creature”.
Their current name comes from a comment on a developer video stating “slug cats !!”

[cobalt raven]

slugcat is so much better

[sudden remnant]

bear creature from the hit indie game maze runner

[granite sundial]

slug cat sounds a lot better tbh im glad they used that name

[silver yoke]

it does

Scug cat

[cobalt raven]

......isnt maze runner a book?

[potent quarry]

and a movie?

[sudden remnant]

alternate reality where they're called slug rat

[cobalt raven]

oh god

[silver yoke]

Rug slat

[cobalt raven]

please no

[silver yoke]

Slug cas

[cobalt raven]

okay

[granite sundial]

spoonerism is a funny thing

[potent quarry]

please stop. Slug Cat sounds adorable, and rodents are cool.

[cobalt raven]

0-0

[silver yoke]

Its fun

[cobalt raven]

I AM NOT A RODENT

[silver yoke]

me and my slug crew

out here getting porls

[cobalt raven]

very slay

[silver yoke]

actually cas how many pearls have you gotten

[silver yoke]

very demure very mindful

[cobalt raven]

I have no idea

[silver yoke]

At least 2 surely

[potent quarry]

I'M NOT A MORON.

[cobalt raven]

I'm willing to bet I have atleast 4.5

[cobalt raven]

RATSDTUTFOUGTUDITVU9F58DOYF8

[granite sundial]

wheatley moment

[potent quarry]

:)

[granite sundial]

who would win, glados or 5 pebs

[cobalt raven]

what's glados

[granite sundial]

massive supercomputer AI thing from portal

[silver yoke]

not being spoiled on portal is like

wait you should play that next

!!!

Portal 1 and 2

[cobalt raven]

oop okay

[granite sundial]

and reloaded and revolution and portal stories mel

[polar sail]

i only liked portal revolution

[granite sundial]

i think they were all great, but fair enough

[potent quarry]

reloaded is ok.

not great, but ok.

revolution and stories mel are great. Prelude has good lore but the gameplay is questionable. Rexaura is good (portal 1 mod, little story, good puzzles). (I'm currently making a tierlist of portal games and mods, so I played a bunch and intend to play more)

[granite sundial]

is rexaura the one with purple fizzler orbs and cube holder hologram things

[potent quarry]

yeah.

[granite sundial]

hvaent played that one sadly

[potent quarry]

It's puzzles are really good, I am currently procrastinating on replaying it so that I can rank it while being fully briefed.

[cobalt raven]

I just came to a horrific realisation

There's supposed to be a tentacle fly and a eye roach in here.....

LIZARD THEFT

We'll get get her back soon...but for now it's time to get back to wormithy

OMG CUTTTTEEEE

I love the music as well

Wormithy!!!

ngl it's kind of fitting

using "The Friend" token to get back to a friend

damn time flies

Time to go and annoy Pebbles

Also, I keep getting clips and forgetting to send them, so here are some

Sky islands might be a pain, but this is a banger

Sky island music contrasts a lot

like the above one is all happy, but then this one reminds you of how small and insignificant you are, yet its somehow comforting

[midnight fable]

that one is one of my favourite songs in the game

[cobalt raven]

oh yeah, and this one time gerald just broke

[midnight fable]

peek a boo

[cobalt raven]

They thought they could be sneaky

now they are dead

pssst, tell Pebbles I'm trying to reach him regarding his car's extended warranty

killed this lizer too

bruh.

The moon! I wonder what all those other structures are

wait a damn minute

that's a pearl!

might just be me, but it's slightly tinted green!

Wouldn't it be facinating to go up there? I wonder if that's the superstructure moon mentioned

I don't understand why the past might have had such a big issue with rain

there is a whole ass city above the clouds

yeah that's def not white

I wonder what it is with all the spears lying around. Could be just incase we loose a spear and are unable to eat, but it doesn't rain up here so how would these get here?

I guess the same can be said with the inside of five pebbles area

I might actually be able to grab some pearls if they come close

I goteth to close

imma try throw the pearl that I found in there

these squares with paintings on them, they kinda look like the square I found inside Pebble's computer except not painted. There's a bunch going down with numerals and their faces painted over with white (I think). I wonder if they are family to pebbles. The equivilant of keeping someone's ashes in a jar.

I threw the pearl and it just fell straight to the ground :/

OMG I GRABBED ONE AHA

now I just need to reset rq and get the other pearl back

HE STOLE WOMRITHY

[cobalt raven]

Might be coincidence that a pearl just so happened to be there, but he looks like he's holding a pearl

okay wormithy, you can come out but just don't go too far while I go grab pearls...or actually no just come with

weeeeee

I GRABBED TWO!! (one's in my mouth)

a bit of a small area to start a pile, but it'll have to do

I hope this doesn't affect Pebble's too negatively

his eyes are closed, he eepy?

I got to close....rip the pearls i caught

[polar sail]

eeby robot

[cobalt raven]

he can see if you're close while his eyes are closed

creepy

Piles are becoming a reocurring theme in this playthrough

he's stopped moving again, I think I'm catching a theme

he doesn't move when it starts raining

if I am to stand a chance of more porls...i need hibernation

man

not even the cyan worms follow me in the wall when it rains

Even high up, these creatures seem affected by the rain

I'm going to try get a couple more pearls then I'll make my way to underhang

This is probably a horrible idea, but I'm currently making my way down as low as I dare

and damn

There is so much shaking

The sparks in underhang make sense, the structure is legit getting punched

no wonder pebbles is tired

My chieftian marker just went up...does stealing pearls do that? 😭

[full ember]

Chieftain is an enigma

[cobalt raven]

T-T

Also

The wall has a lot of these funny bits

I saw moon's area does as well on the outside

If Pebble's lives at the top of his area that could mean that Moon has a significant portion of her area underwater

the popcorn plants are taking forever to regrow at the top, so ig I'm just going to go down and get braincell for now

0.0

dead

worms

must not forget to say hi to wall moon

At first I thought that was a strange thing to graffiti on the wall, then I realised it could very well just be an ugly hairball

shoo

that moment when a worm and the hairball has you

im so dead

[polar sail]

hairballs are too strong

[cobalt raven]

I let go of the worm, that's why it won

the worm is always superior

[midnight fable]

woah a lot happened

so much progress

[cobalt raven]

I wouldn't really call it progress

[midnight fable]

[cobalt raven]

just me yappin

[midnight fable]

it is!!

[polar sail]

hi foggy

[midnight fable]

its 100% progress

hi

[polar sail]

[midnight fable]

https://tenor.com/view/rain-world-gif-25683658

[polar sail]

slug_plush_dance.gif

[midnight fable]

wait what

theres things here i dont even know about

really cool

[cobalt raven]

stalkin

[polar sail]

you could even say............ watching

[cobalt raven]

they are adorable

[cobalt raven]

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA

ehm

[polar sail]

[midnight fable]

[cobalt raven]

MOVE

worm, this is a horrible time to be grabbing random entities

actually nvm

hold him back while I swing past

[midnight fable]

🥹

[cobalt raven]

Worms might have a hard time communicating their intention, but sometimes they just tryna help

slay 700

bringin a snack with me to pebbles

dun dun duuuun!

omg

The orange stuff look like egg

weeeee

gotcha

ngl

I feel like there are less braincells in this room than there used to be

kinda makes sense

I have been eating some

and braincells dont restore

[polar sail]

I'm sure he'll be grateful

[cobalt raven]

he won't, that's why I'm eating it

[polar sail]

[cobalt raven]

time to journey to moon

I remember when I brought one of Moon's braincells to Pebble it just kinda floated around him like it did with moon

random info

eepy scug

[polar sail]

at least you've brought some cells to moon so it isn't as bad

[cobalt raven]

knowledge!

goop

[polar sail]

goop

[cobalt raven]

Imma leave braincell here while I go annoy Pebbles and steal his pearls

nah but like, I really wanna grab that fruit

[sterile sand]

nothing wrong there, just free fruit in the floor :)

[cobalt raven]

I scared it off :3

[cobalt raven]

nahhhh

nothing in this game is free

not even the lore

[sterile sand]

dying and crying are both free tho?

[cobalt raven]

true

[cobalt raven]

I just realised that if people don't realise there was a camouflaging bug in the previous screenshot then it looks like I scared off the fruit LMAO

[sterile sand]

how you even managed to scare of the fruit? :D
this is a joke

[cobalt raven]

I'm just that menacing

Okay Wormithy, try stay in here/not go tooo far while I go harass pebbles

HI PEBBL

porl

[full ember]

I no longer associate with him

[cobalt raven]

wdym?

[full ember]

Pebbles stole all of my pearls

[cobalt raven]

oh....

I'm sorry to hear that

[full ember]

I require revenge

For his heinous crimes

(This is random myself/nobody lore)

[cobalt raven]

I shall continue stealing his pearls then

[full ember]

Yes

Not even for reading, just do it out of spite

[cobalt raven]

oop

porls added

if I am fast I can grab a couple more before he sleeps

at this rate I'm going to be here forever

I was too slow T-T

[sterile sand]

what's problem with pebbles sleeping?

[cobalt raven]

When he's sleeping he does not move around

I need him to move around so if he gets close enough I can yoink the pearls

I'm going to try force hibernate, and then eat popcorn plant afterwards

I'm not too sure how it works but it's worth a try

wormithy is doing a great job guarding the pearls

dun dun duun

the orange one looks like oranges(the fruit)
it make me hungry

[long copper]

Bro what

[polar sail]

haven't you heard of mb6fbhsphdrcb?

[cobalt raven]

Might just be me, but I feel the slugcat looks thinner

welp, he sittin again

nom

nommed success

the pile grows

hmmm

what if I

just throw all the pearls into the air and take them to shelter all at once

well

after I grab em all

he's not moving anymore

i threw something in and he mov!

[polar sail]

[cobalt raven]

his machinery is squeaky

porl

it might be difficult for me to tell because he has so many, but I wonder if he gets new pearls and I'm grabbing empty ones

I think Imma bring moon what I have then grab more if those aren't empty

which pearl should I bring to moon first?

green one

or maybe orange?

[polar sail]

I don't think pebbles would keep empty pearls

[cobalt raven]

fair enough

I'm taking the green one

I'M COMING MOON

I just had a thought

I vaguely remember bringing moon a pearl about an air purifier and superstructure life

I hope I am remembering correctly

But if that city is said superstructure it would make sense to have an air purifier

There is no rain here so it's very dusty

and it's also windy

[polar sail]

I don't remember seeing that pearl reading, interesting

[cobalt raven]

Like I said, i could be wrong

i tend to remember funny things

or just dream about it

eepy scug

DECONTAMINATION CHAMBER

I have witnessed sweeper get eaten by pole

very nice

[granite sundial]

Omnomnomnjomnomnom

[cobalt raven]

into industrial!

[granite sundial]

U gonna take all those perls down individually?

[cobalt raven]

right now it's looking like a 2 pearl per trip and shelter to shelter

this time though i'm bringing braincell with me so I'm doing a direct route

idk why but it feels like bottom chimneys and industrial's lizards have gone

i dont see them in their groups

[granite sundial]

They went to a party

[cobalt raven]

found em

[granite sundial]

See? They all have party hats

[cobalt raven]

LOL

shower

i might be able to make it to moon this evening

ACK

runrunrunrunrunrunrunrun

fuck, im surrounded

ACK

uh oh...there be scavs

they threw a bomb and killed themselves with it

Gerald looks so out of place xD

I find it amusing that lizards actualy glow! Like, did they eat braincells too at some point?

dun dunduuun

I forgot i cant bring wormithy with ;-;

I shall leave him here

[full ember]

Uörmithy

[polar sail]

worship the worm

[full ember]

I have rechanged my pfp

I am pebble

Once more

[cobalt raven]

pebbl

almost there!

it's time

.....parents? City? Parasites that have opinions...houses...iterators again..pebbles is an iterator? some kind of situation deemed acceptable...

Could y'all do the thing where you get the text again and send it here please 😭

Thank you moon!

[granite sundial]

What did they say when giving 2nd neuron

[cobalt raven]

Not much in terms of lore. She said she was thankful, then went on about how Pebbles wouldn't mind...or maybe he would..but it meant a lot to her

the pile grows

[granite sundial]

Fill the shelter to the brim

[cobalt raven]

I sure will try!

[granite sundial]

Is that the bigger one within moons chamber

[long bloom]

this is the dull greenish one?

[cobalt raven]

yesyes

[long bloom]

    "...we will not consider the Current Situation acceptable. Although our community is Blessed with an ever shrinking Population, and we can Almost Glimpse that Glorious moment when the last of us has joined our most Admired peers, we must still (at All Times!) maintain Good Relations with our Iterator.

    The Moral Argument: Five Pebbles is our Creation, and we have Parental Obligations towards him. As an Iterator, he is also a Gift of Charity from Us to The World (unable to reach Enlightenment by itself - being composed mostly of Rock, Gas, dull witted Bugs and Microbes - and towards which We thus have Obligations).

    The Practical Argument: Despite You being family, I must Beg Forgiveness for the Blunt Vulgarity - but We are (for as long as we Remain) Dependent on Five Pebbles for Water, Nectar, Energy, Void Fluid and All other Vital Resources. By Now, living on the surface is Laughable. We are Across the River and have Kicked out the Boat.

    I therefor ask you to Do Anything in your Might to stop the House(We both know which House) from Further Obstruction! They have less than forty members on the Council, but still Tilt the spiritual Discourse with Our Iterator in a direction that most obviously Displeases him, and is hardly High Held by anyone in the Community either! We can not Risk this!"

    And then there are polite farewells. None of us really miss the times when their cities were populated. Imagine having skin parasites that also ask for advice and have opinions...

    I'm sorry, that was disrespectful. They were our parents after all.```

[cobalt raven]

ty!

[polar sail]

[granite sundial]

When I got that pearl I found the typo

Therefore is canonically spelled "therefor" in rain world

[cobalt raven]

LOL

hmm

that is a weirdly informative pearl

I'm glad that I found it

[granite sundial]

Epic

[cobalt raven]

So like...
Iterators are the robot people-
They are.....uh

Give it a moment, I'm getting there

An iterator

.....

It's a fun pearl but goodness it hurts to think about

Imma brb, coffee is needed

[long bloom]

lo

not enough caffeine for this many lore implications

[lime axle]

Ikr it had me staring for twenty minutes straight

[frosty arch]

hello! having fun?

[cobalt raven]

yes lol

[cobalt raven]

EXACTLY

okayokayokay

uh

Iterators

Pebbles is an iterator

Moon is also likely one

the robot being seems to be the center of it all, the core/personality of said iterator.
It wouldn't make sense if it wasn't, because moon isn't technically connected to anything (or is she?)

using pebbles as the example, he is connected to a giant computer system, but this also includes the city itself

[lime axle]

[cobalt raven]

TECHNICALLY, the whole area is literally him

okayokay

getting somewhere here

The people of the city created the iterator to help them.....depend on them for resources?

wtf is a void fluid

and I'm lost again

okay so

there was a situation....likely involving the rain...though I haven't exactly found an explanation to whatever the exact details of the "situation" is...but it wasn't a desirable situation....

...so much so not desirable the whole ass population decided to move to another plane of existence...

acension..

uhh

Each iterator (atleast I assume so) has their own city

Moon nor Pebbles seem to have liked their "parents"
which I am assuming be some kind of political figure/party of the city

or maybe the people of the city as a whole...

[granite sundial]

[cobalt raven]

Pebbles once said something about being the reluctant gift..so I don't think the iterators had the best relationship

uhm

When the population acended they left their iterators behind...because they aren't considered an organic creation of nature or whatever...but Moon and Pebbles do seem to be conciious and able to feel emotion

uh

First and foremost

if the population is gone...what is Pebbles exactly working to achieve?

what is is purpose now? and why does it drive him crazy?

and wth happened to moon

I get basically she's like disconnected from her city/computer structure thin----omg

is that what a superstructure is

anyways, I find it unlikely that it was just the rain that she obtained damage from

She spoke of being cut off from the world like it was an action of some kind, atleast I think so

bleh

[frosty arch]

[cobalt raven]

I think I have a pearl addiction now

[cobalt raven]

Imma go get some of my pearls from sky

[frosty arch]

pearls

[marsh holly]

shoutouts to kalum for pinging me in first playthrough guiding & coordination thread so i stumbled upon this thread again

its time... to watch

[cobalt raven]

....oh another worm

Welcome

we shall return soon

I wonder if I decide to explore this place more if I'll find reminants of a city

Wormithy

I'm so smart

[long bloom]

[cobalt raven]

I might've just not been paying attention, but Gerald didn't show me that symbol while I was carrying a braincell

y'all

for some reason this area ALWAYS has a green lizard just fall from the sky

like i just had a heart attack

[rain crown]

yeah it's my favorite of the colored ones personally

once you finish hunter you should hop on #vanilla-lore

there is much to see

[cobalt raven]

0.0

What I'm going to do is grab some pearls from sky, leave them in a shelter and only take 1 coloured one, then go to pebbles and take a mango one

I have a feeling this is going to be...a massive pain

could y'all like...move please?

I died

but I speared this guy just before I did

he kinda just hanging there

Pinned that one as well

[cobalt raven]

make that three

.....

four.

[bleak zenith]

Smort

[cobalt raven]

If I die one more time....I'm leaving those pearls for another time and I'm going to go back to harassing pebbles

I died.

guess we're leaving this for another day when I enter through plantation

[topaz flume]

:p

[cobalt raven]

WELL YEAH I CAN DO THIS JUMP JUUUSSST FIINE

eepy scug

[edgy juniper]

lots to backread

[cobalt raven]

have fun!

[edgy juniper]

I see your pearl hoard grows

[pallid wadi]

She has a lot more pearls than I remember

[polar sail]

[cobalt raven]

bro..how

bro killed me and stole my worm..bruh

another lizard sucessfulyy pinned

climbclimbclimb

[bleak zenith]

They do that sometimes

[cobalt raven]

eh

I wonder what information pebbles stores in all these pearls

If Pebbles had any bit of non-hatred left for me..I think it's gone now

[long bloom]

wtf

[cobalt raven]

I'm taking this pearl business seriously

[alpine frigate]

I genuinely hope you dont plan on bringing all of them

[cobalt raven]

......

what's wrong with bringing all of them

bruh I got to close and he killed me

rip my progress

[alpine frigate]

The walk is quite long, and the fastest route requires you to use a grapple worm which Wastes an additional slot

[topaz flume]

Even with carrying 3 per trip, it would take at minimum 5 trips from FP to Moon to take those alone

[cobalt raven]

I don't really mind, unless the pearls just have nothin on them

and besides

you guys know the lore

I don't T-T

[bleak zenith]

(I'm fairly sure all of his pearls have different things on em so yea )

[alpine frigate]

The pearls are not that important, I'd argue even less beneficial to the lore than the white/blank ones

[cobalt raven]

but....imagine having every...single...pearl...in one pile

[alpine frigate]

Your choice I just wouldn't really advise it

[bleak zenith]

I would I'm fueling the bad choices

[cobalt raven]

IT'S NOT THAT BAD OF A CHOICE

[bleak zenith]

Hey Cas I'm sorry for starting this by telling you to bring the drugs to Moon

[cobalt raven]

Don't worry, I'm enjoying this

[bleak zenith]

At least you enjoy it

[cobalt raven]

I guess I do understand where y'all are coming from though

It is a ton

I'll mostly see how it goes and if it's that much of a pain I'll stop

[silver yoke]

Wait, I didn't know that

[bleak zenith]

Neither did I

[cobalt raven]

pretty lizer

[errant jackal]

why is its head so small

this is a wonderful message

[cobalt raven]

I'm done for today, I'll get the pearls to moon tmr

[lime axle]

Good night!

[potent quarry]

Ok, slugats are (probably) not rodents, as rodents have ever growing teeth, and we never see this with slugcats. (thanks @zealous mesa for pointing this out to me)

[cobalt raven]

NOT RODENTS WOO

[pine brook]

That's a lot of stuff to keep up with. Impressive progress so far

[cobalt raven]

........I wish I could give Pebbles a hug

[high rain]

we can't know if they have ever growing teeth since we never see their mouths

[silver yoke]

slugcat has no mouth but must scream

I have no mouth but I must slugcat

[midnight fable]

Then where does the food go

[edgy juniper]

osmosis

[cobalt raven]

nose

[midnight fable]

[cobalt raven]

where that mouse goin

IT FELL 😭

[polar sail]

it was running from scary monsters

[cobalt raven]

I'm not that scary

I accidently dropped my porl

almost there...

HI MOON

.........active pearl and working memory

confused

thank you moon!

hmm

Back with wormithy!

[silver yoke]

🪱

[silver yoke]

slugcats beyond my comprehension

[cobalt raven]

Sky pearl retrieval attempt no. 2

.....I COULD'VE JUST WORMED ABOVE THAT STUPID GAP THIS ENTIRE TIME?

bruh

Pinned!

[edgy juniper]

someone pin this

[cobalt raven]

LOL

okay but seriously, I struggled so much go get here yesterday T-T

[edgy juniper]

it appears that you are becoming good at the game

[cobalt raven]

I got killed by a lizard just as I left the shelter

Do y'all ever try to put a pearl down and then end up accidently throwing it off of a cliff?

[edgy juniper]

no I obviously play perfectly and never make mistakes WDYM

[cobalt raven]

xD

[potent quarry]

.

[cobalt raven]

Ayy sky island music

[edgy juniper]

✅

[cobalt raven]

I GOT SO CLOSE TO GETTING OUT AND FELL ACK

I keep panicking

I should stop panicking

[edgy juniper]

(the fun one?)

[cobalt raven]

they killed me and made me lose my flower....assholes

yes

[topaz flume]

Kayava

[cobalt raven]

Shoo

holy I just did 2 epic saves with wormithy and got to the otherside...my hands are so sweaty I'm scared to die

I'M FREEE

[polar sail]

[cobalt raven]

Imma grab braincell and then go to moon

cmere braincell spspspspsps

I fucked up

[topaz flume]

mm blubery

[cobalt raven]

Attempt 2

success

Imagine bringing a lizard into zero gravity, I wonder how it'd react

I died.

so smart

who decided to place bottomless pits everywhere?

[polar sail]

that's not a braincell

[cobalt raven]

That's so true LOL

grass is very attached to braincell, grass does not want braincell to leave

successfully escaped with braincell

bruh.

shoutout to the worms over there that were holding the hairball

[sterile sand]

snack :>

[cobalt raven]

y'all

I just threw the braincell

and it bugged into the floor below, all the way to the left

Luckily it's still fine

was not going to die to the same lizard more than once

[cobalt raven]

My heart rn...Im right next to it and it hasnt noticed me yet...

please please go away

it got me

oml

they takin the poor worm hostage

[full ember]

What do the worms do?

[cobalt raven]

the one the scav is carrying?

[full ember]

Yes

[cobalt raven]

They are (I assume) Pebble's eyes

[full ember]

WHAT?!

[cobalt raven]

not literally LOL

finally out of chimneys

I'm going to pay closer attention to gerald while Im in shaded to see if he shows the symbols again

He does when I'm not holding it

wait I think he shown it while I was holding it

into shoreline!

Narrow escape

I'm honestly surprised I was not killed or had the braincell knocked out of my hand

oml that was a long pearl

Moon finished just in time for the rain

I am lucky to have a shelter nearby :D

Can I get the text of the pearl that you find in sky? It's darkish (maybe green) and it's a conversation between seven sun something and Pebbles. Something about seeking guidance.

[topaz flume]

Gimme a sec Im doin a kahoot

[cobalt raven]

okie dokie

[topaz flume]

"1591.290 - PRIVATE
Five Pebbles, Seven Red Suns

FP: Can I tell you something? Lately...

FP: I'm tired of trying and trying. And angry that they left us here. The anger makes me even less inclined to solve their puzzle for them. Why do we do this?

SRS: Yes, I'll spell this out - not because you're stupid or naive... Also, not saying that you're not ~

FP: Please, I'm coming to you for guidance.

SRS: Sorry, very sorry. I kid. Fact is, of course we are all aware of the evident futility of this Big Task. It's not said out loud but if you were better at reading between the lines there's nowhere you wouldn't see it. We're all frustrated.

FP: So why do we continue? We assemble work groups, we ponder, we iterate and try. Some of us die. It's not fair.

SRS: Because there's not any options. What else CAN we do? You're stuck in your can, and at any moment you have no more than two alternatives: Do nothing, or work like you're supposed to.

SRS: An analogy. You have a maze, and you have a handful of bugs. You put the bugs in the maze, and you leave. Given infinite time, one of the bugs WILL find a way out, if they just erratically try and try. This is why they called us Iterators.

FP: But we do die of old age.

SRS: Even more incentive! You know that nothing ever truly dies though, around and around it goes. Granted, our tools and resources get worse over time - but that is theoretically unproblematic, because in time even a miniscule[sic] chance will strike a positive. All the same to them, they're not around anymore!

FP: I struggle to accept being a bug."```

[cobalt raven]

Thank you!

[cobalt raven]

so

there are

Looks to the Moon, Five Pebbles, Seven Red Suns, and Sliver of Straw

that I know about

The iterators were left behind/created to solve some kind of puzzle

I also know why they are called "iterators" now

[marsh holly]

[lime axle]

[cobalt raven]

..........I am still no closer to finding what the issue actually is

more pearls

[cobalt raven]

I'm going to take wormithy with me into shoreline, I want to explore a path but I struggle with the platforms

[midnight fable]

have fun!

you are getting faster!

[cobalt raven]

yee

.....omg

the death kelp, they also grab fruits

omg I found a new path...i must stay focused T-T

[granite sundial]

They are trying to figure out where the scavs take their pearls

[cobalt raven]

Must be a pretty big issue if the whole population decided to just leave

[frosty arch]

it was me

[cobalt raven]

bruh.

berri

TRY CATCH ME NOW YOU FILTHY MAGGOTS

[polar sail]

[cobalt raven]

this bit is what I wanted to get wormithy for

I'm also doing a lot better in terms of keeping wormithy alive

:0000000000000

PINK PORL

[polar sail]

good job!

i had to spend much more time to get this pearl compared to the other ones

[cobalt raven]

I was going to say I am going to leave wormithy up here while I go get pearl...BUT HE IMMEDIATLY FELL INTO THE WATER

I'll be quick...please let go

I drowned...anyways

Guess I'm returning to moon faster than expected

All of a sudden I don't know how to get up there again-

ugh

Figured it out :D

I LIZARD INSTANTLY ATE ME
