The Starborn [Xenofiction?]
« on: November 14, 2012, 08:21:46 pm »

You are.
FEAR MEAN HUN
You are floating. Floating in a sea of green. It's surrounding you, encapsulating you.
FEAR MEAN HUN
You are aware of a moon above, dark and shadowy. You are sure that you have been there before. You know you've eaten some.
FEAR MEAN HUN
You are.
FEAR MEAN HUN
You know nothing but that you are. You know nothing but that this is. You know nothing but that this is how it was before your first memories, and you know that soon you will not remember this point in your life.
FEAR MEAN HUN
YOU ARE.
FEAR MEAN HUN
Neurons begin to fire. Everything is becoming clear now. This fluid has been here. You remember. But you don't. Memory is funny that way. Maybe it's only been this way since you were.
FEAR MEAN HUN
YOU ARE.
FEAR MEAN HUN
You don't have a name. You don't need one. You are the only. You are you. The only you.
FEAR MEAN HUN
YOU ARE.
FEAR MEAN HUN
You are not a god. What are you?
FEAR MEAN HUN
YOU ARE.
FEAR MEAN HUN
And the universe was green.
You feel the boundaries of your universe under your chitinous legs.
FEAR MEAN HUN
FEAR MEAN HUN

The moon is gooey and slippery, but you've been feeding off of it for a while. Your mandibles grip the yolk as you draw nutrients from it.

STAT EFF. CORE: LARGE

Spoiler: Status Effect Cores (click to show/hide)

You cannot examine yourself truely, but you can feel that you have six legs, encased in chitin, and a bulbus, soft body. Your head is a hard shell, with two eyes that make up almost fifty percent of its surface. You have two antenna, useless in the goo you live in. You have two sets of eyelids, and your second set is transparent, protecting your eyes from any debrii. The first set is opaque, and makes you feel sleepy if you shut them for too long.

You know all this by feel. You do not know any color but the green of the world you live in.

You are under a quarter meter long.

You can see nothing but the large shadow of the moon. All is green, a acidic shade of light green that completely fails to shimmer poetically in the light filtering through from... You don't know where.

You can't tell which way the light is coming from and so you forget all about it. You are too young to be that logically curious.

A instinct fills you.

Strike!

You smash against the wall. Your mandibles scrabble for a grip, your legs scratching. You swirl about, then come back and fly at the wall again.

Strike!

Your bulk bulges the wall out, and you scrabble harder, using the sharp sensitive tips of your legs as knives, slicing and slicing.

Strike!

Your mandibles are like scissors, slicing and cutting and gripping and pulling. Splits begin to form.

Strike!

The slits widen.

Strike!

You tumble out of the egg on a wave of gel, spattering out onto a new world, flat and hard. It's quite bright out here, in fact, but beyond tht you cannot see. Your eyes are still those of a newborn, sensitive only to movement, and you are but one of the first of your brothers to hatch. Here and there dark forms swirl inside the acid green eggs, some manageing to break free, some failing.

On instinct, you begin to lap up the fluid that, until now, you've spent your life in. You have no tongue, but the fluid is viscous enough, and your manibles small enough, that you do a reasonable job of clearing the mess.

You are still hungry.

There are hundreds of them. A few missing would not be misses, certainly.

Instinct, however, tells you that it would, perhaps, be best to wait until they are hatched. (Specifically, until they've metabolized the nutrients in the "eggwhite" into longer protien chains and sugars, but as a baby alien you wouldn't know shit about that) However, instinct also tells you that following the pack is a good thing, and there are a group of larger grubs breaking loose hatchlings and devouring them whole. The eggwhite is nutritious, and they've grown somewhat even inside the egg. It would not be a loss, either way.
