first rivulet playthrough!!!
I sadly already have knowledge of what generally this playthrough will have, but i still have not experienced firsthand, or probably any specifics
#slippery little guy
bold creek
abstract fern
RIULET
fathom mason
bold creek
immediately first reaction: he schmoovin'
also what's with the scavanger that fell down too?
definitely dead but i am curious nonetheless
and oh god cycle timer low
fathom mason
also what's with the scavanger that fell down too?
bold creek
he swimmin'
the room before this seems different
i don't remember the top right pipe
or the scavs
so eep
well shit
i've seen this when i was playing gourmand
yup
in raining
i don't like this lizor
abstract fern
why 
fathom mason
he just wants a hug
trust
abstract fern
he just wants a hug
trust
these are the intentions of every creature in rain world
bold creek
i successfully baited the long fish into the other pipe
...and another shelter flood
is this going to be a common occurance?
lilac swift
bold creek
uh oh
i have no porl
maybe i just... run past them
died
salvation
...but at what cost
found a white one :3
ah i found the artificer spawn
lilac swift
the exploder
lilac swift
the fixh
bold creek
me when it rains in the world:
a downpour if you will
that's not a gun bird
oh
i think pebbles may be collapsing
i think this is those dome things near the middle of the underhang
oh wait a minute
pebble's structure is collapsing as i said
but that means the rot must have gotten real bad
so going through pebbles is not going to be very easy
i might try to go to the wall via underhang instead
assuming it's still there
once i get the mark from pebbles tho, i wanna see what the pearl in my stomach says
well i managed to get near the top of the leg
i'll leave it there for now
bold creek
the worms keep killing me 
lilac swift

I don’t even mean the blue cancer cysts
I mean THESE
lilac swift
kill them 
bold creek
fathom mason
eat them 
bold creek
bold creek
i've always wondered why this is here
seems weird for the ancients to make a sign pointing to a den
especially like that
so something else must have
fathom mason
bold creek
you bitch...
lilac swift
somebody wanted to let you know
but who 
bold creek
yeah
not very tidy looking, almost like chalk
so it's something drawn on after its construction
i'm thinking maybe the scavs?
i know from the arti campaign that they inhabited parts of pebbles' structure
bold creek
you bitch...
got this guy blocking the pipe back down to the rest of the underhang, so up i go
bold creek
can't figure out how to get to wall without backtracking a bunch T-T
i'm just going to go up through pebbles instead
probably a bad idea
but i've got some level farming to do
lilac swift
sounds like a good plan 
bold creek
sounds like a good plan <:huntersmile:1264371824548905113>
NO ITS NOT
PEBBLES IS RENAMED TO "THE ROT"
THIS DEVELOPPMENT IS VERY UNFORTUNATE
lilac swift
hehe
bold creek
i already have the mark !?
maybe my stomach porl will tell me about that when i get either moon or somehow pebbles to read it
bold creek
there's sky islands foliage growing inside pebbles
that's interesting
i wonder if its related to the rot
or perhaps instead the neural fibers in pebbles
i hear faint music
pebbles!
shit's got bad here
bold creek
or perhaps instead the neural fibers in pebbles
so, iirc, sky islands was supposed to act as a bridge between pebbles and moon
there's no way moon snapped of cleany when she detatched
and sky islands could very likely be that snap point
so perhaps the weird flora in sky islands is what used to be the neural fibers inside moon
which then managed to survive outside of her can
and grew into what we see there
doubt that though
moon is to the right of pebbles roughly wheras sky islands is to the left
bold creek
it is done
i wonder what i can figure out from the images shown by moon though?
omg the fruit
POV Looks to the Moon:
https://youtu.be/QM58NgpgGqo?si=x_SaqIxilPQIZDUk
the neurons are flicking green and making sounds...
i'm going to go see how pebbles is doing
huh
it appears overseers communicate through physically transmitting signals to one another with their tendrils
they turn and face eachother, align the four tendrils at their head by the tips, and then sparks come out
so the overseers are acting on moon's behalf to operate the rest of her structure
perhaps the overseers are using this to directly interface with components, with each overseer having a specific job
and if data needs transferred, thats what happens
other than that, i can't figure out why overseers would need to communicate
they don't seem to be a particularly social species, and instead work at the command of an iterator
but then again, moon fully lost contact with her overseers
so the one guiding the survivor is likely acting on its own accord
wanton tinsel
omg the fruit
bold creek
looks like overseers can communicate the same way to neuron flies
but more importantly... are they playing god damn scrabble?
bold creek
looks like overseers can communicate the same way to neuron flies
oh shit, that reminds me of the neuron fibers actually
i love how connected things are in this game if you just sit and watch
bold creek
but more importantly... are they playing god damn scrabble?
ah wait no, it's a matching game
each tile is 1x2 and has two symbols, and you need to match two symbols together
i assume points accumulate the more symbols are matched in a row
i also assume yellow is moon and blue is pebbles
like their overseer colours
if i had to guess moon is probably winning here
3-2 if i had to guess
this does give me an idea though on how to possibly decipher the ancient language
probably not though
i'll have to find some examples to try to decipher
this is probably not a written example, but it could help decipher
text
looking at this, it probably is not a cypher
instead i can probably look at symbols tied to passages or achievments
