fashionably late to the show

[opal dragon]

from the time i was at thermal relay:
it's like a mosquito zapper but spiritual worm zapper

i was surprised it works on them

[opal dragon]

had a lil experiment:
i think the rot is spreading via portals and i'm required to be in a room with rot for it to travel. at the same time Cold Storage - location overtaken by infection - doesn't originally have a rot circle. a made a portal in this room and as a result neither of the 2 locations were marked as rotten

that means that i'm spreading a particular kind of rot

and, if i still count that torrential railways have a rot circle bc of me teleporting there from the og region, then Rot Matriarch is the same guy that ate Pebbles

it does speak as if it remembers numerous iterators though. maybe when OG map rot infects a region that already had rot they fuse and share the collected information.

[opal dragon]

and it was flattered

That's how I must look to the rot:

just my aim

but i'll try again later. wanna trade with scavs for an explosive spear too

signal spires

btw for some reason monkeys went extinct. i think??

or maybe they migrated

[opal dragon]

awesome shelter

pfppfpf is it even usable

[opal dragon]

one of my cold storage lizors came through pipe last second and now it's in salination

you can't swim, silly goose

fetid but worse

so these were supposed to be shroom silhouettes

[nocturne violet]

no, this is doing fetid glen a favor

[opal dragon]

somehow yes. rot has eaten all the burning trash and now all what's left is just an ugly bin

i can see where i'm jumping(!!)

yay

negative times negative made a bearable fetid

i think i'll finish the game faster than i'll find if i can do smth with these

i tried grabbing, throwing stuff and just jumping on top hm

sidenote: i think that crawling makes the drug poison a bit easier to deal with

[opal dragon]

So i tried throwing things at it (again..), then levitating while holding it, after that i started jumping on it from hight, but gooseberries are slippery so i tried grabbing them

Which led to both of us falling into abyss

Ig it's one of the things you either accidentally find out by falling from the sky and smashing all the buttons in panic or by trying out all possible means of interaction

My next idea was to make a noodle mother to angle her needle in a way that would pierce the ball

I wonder if it'd work

[nocturne violet]

this is one of the only rain world rooms that feels genuinely designed to trick you. not even pole plants are this bad

💔 they even added a second screen below the pomegranate (gooseberry?) to hide the deathpit gradient

[distant inlet]

Some of the rooms in Watcher are just. genuienly so horrendously bad for an official dlc

Theres a couple rooms with extra screens on the bottom that serve 0 purpose other than to kill you
One room Im thinking of logically shouldnt have a death pit that seperates a room below it but it does

[opal dragon]

let's say i found out it was a deathpit a bit earlier while trying to interact with the berry
I just didn't expect the thing to snap like that. Honestly, idk what i expected it to do pfppf

i think when i first died i was more surprised they made a second screen just for falling than that it was an abyss

[opal dragon]

they drew a very gooseberry-looking thing and officially called it a pomegranate?

why pomegranate. it's arguably resembles a watermelon but not pomegranate

I shall make a petition for renaming it /j

[opal dragon]

tried to go to OR but the portal led me to corrupted factories :0
hello, ind?

monkeys!

i thought they run from the infected regions

maybe they didn't have a chance :c poor guys

that doesn't look particularly nice to sleep in

not that bad

none of the monkeys i met had an explosive spear
did they use them all up

i saw one guy with bomb but lost him, so i traded my flower for a hive and spear eh

will this be another place with just rotten fruits and centis

[limber steeple]

There is a reason why it's called Pomegranate I think c:

Think of them as green pomegranates

Vinegranates?

[distant inlet]

The Watcher devs suck at naming things correctly :D

[opal dragon]

monkeys lost all their ammunition to rot (it's a former treasury)

factories are pretty easy survival-wise unlike wastes.

found 2 portals (are they to OR..? hope they're not) currently heading to them

[opal dragon]

yayyy

got thrown into factories again but different part of it (if i knew this would happen, i'd take more than a single piece of eggbug with me)

hi larry
larry, larry wait. LARRY

rip

the thing that amuses me about rattlers is that they aren't willing to put up with anyone and look like a nursery teacher walking kids to a "bad behavior" corner

[opal dragon]

gave rot a snack from my shelter to see if it has anything to say about it

tried bombing it but it just commented on my suicide

[opal dragon]

Have been thinking about what would happen if rot was set free in ancient urban.
That would create a kill your grandpa with time machine kind of paradox, wouldn't it

got jumpscared by my yellow nickname, forgot it was like this

[opal dragon]

Got into some decayed tunnels which i am not sure what it is. My best guess is deainage

Are we getting an excursion to all of the og regions

[nocturne violet]

probably. which is why || au is one of three regions that cannot be infected ||

[scenic mica]

isat reference?

"the paths overflow beyond measure" is an error message i believe

[opal dragon]

a rot eating crichur :0

eat this, please

[opal dragon]

Unintended, but can be counted as one

I started using this phrase a few years before isat.
I thinnnk someone had an oc that used this saying and I decided that it sounds nice

[scenic mica]

very dry and tasteless and crackly like dry leaves. 2,763 times better than normal rot

[opal dragon]

I think it was related to Echo..? maybe.
i don't think I saw this message after the echo disappearance, therefore i assumed that the paths that the message refers to are the ones that were being opened by echo.

Echo was traveling a lot while pondering about their existence and impact on people (or the lack of thereof), which, i assume, led to the "overflow"

[opal dragon]

Sorry if this was worded as gibberish

[worthy meteor]

oh how i hate the paths overflow beyond measure

(i can't create portals at all because it appears every. single. time )

[opal dragon]

the reptilian urge to just bite off ur buddy's head

i see no difference

aaaand i'm not dead pfppfp

the lizor thing happened a while ago but today's progress is: i infected 2 more regions (i'm sorry ) and have 2 (ig) left

and found out that cold storage has bottom half on the left huh

[opal dragon]

hi girl do you wanna talk

i'm not going to it rn but eventually will

not sure if anything about the region has changed tho tbh

have i mentioned that i love verdant waterways' threat theme

[opal dragon]

hmmmmm

don't u think that's too little food for a shelter

i need morrrrre

i forgor how many food objects i can put there before they stop being registered tho eheh

got tired of searching for karma flowers and making portals so i went for revisiting the creepy worm-like rot

it seems to be the same so far

[opal dragon]

this room was giving me an icky deja vu because I've been stuck in an identical one during coop in FP.
naturally, i pulled up the maps and PEPSI??

unfortunate evolution wasn't an allusion to pebbles it was pebbles

don't think i've ever been as attached to him as during this campaign

he rotted died and became a dusty can of purple worms

tw: flashing image (i guess..?)

[opal dragon]

i loaded these in wrong order-
but anyway

this time the portal to OR wan't laggy (yayy)

[rain jewel]

[scenic mica]

UNFORTUNATE EVOLUTION MY BELOVED
