Absence In Meaning awakens from the sugary oblivion of the undreamt. Absence is in name only, not in presence. Now to find some meaning in all of this.
Rain in the AllswampThe Allswamp is a swamp, the Crabmen are crabmen. What is the meaning of this? Absence in Meaning knows not, and their thoughts set time in motion once more. He stands up and set the jug on his shoulder, and walk, sometimes spilling water from the endless jug, causing it to fall on the Allswamp in the form of rain of various intensity.
Mur and Crab, crab partyThe surviving crabs are inexplicably compelled to gather around Mur, despite their supposedly functioning survival instincts telling them this is most assuredly not a really toasty idea. At the same time, Crab is showering the Crabmen with Divinity®, making them more Divine. What could go wrong?
Suddenly the Crabmen achieve an understanding of Somewhat-Good and Somewhat-Evil as two conflicting wills tell them to do stuff they wouldn't usually do. The shower of Divinity® is probably not helping. Each of the survivors sees mental constructs of their own making appearing before their eyes, a nicely roasted reddened crab, and crab-lawyer wearing a monocle of legitimacy. The two mental crabs argue in order to help the Crabmen make a Choice, although in truth it is not really helping, and only adding to the confusion.
Many crabs decide to jump into the furnace to make the voices of dubious reason cease, while many others just filter the white noise out and go somewhere else. The twice surviving survivors thus settle somewhere in the Allswamp far from Mur and Crab, now unbound by Divinity® and thus unable to count as worshipers in the industrial process of Ambrosia processing.
Mur and Crab lost all their worshipers, Oops!Bubba, dumping gatorsMeanwhile Bubba decides to create gator mortals, and maybe realize that gators are annoying to take care of, or maybe not. Whatever the reason they dump the poor unloved gators into the Allswamp, and leave them take care of themselves. All in a day's work.
The Gator Mortals, in their search for divine love, start worshiping anything that should and shouldn't be worshiped, making them quite the omni-animists. They hold a special place in their gatoresque hearts for Bubba, the one who didn't love them and threw them in the swamp.
Bubba earned 1000 worshippers, because the Gators have been traumatized by how they were left alone by their maker.Ding! Bubba earned 1 lump of Ambrosia
