Send a big FB to stabilize the guy and apologize for knocking him over. Return to the pod if he wants to talk or anything.
(5) A big FB rushes over and carefully disentangles this elderly patron. He seems cheerful, and dismisses the incident as an accident. He seems to recognize his mistake in nibbling your leaves, and offers his own apologies. He and your FB slowly cross to the pods, and the patron blinks lazily at you. How very curious. What manner of creature are you?

Invite the curator people to lunch with myself and the corpse.
Utilize interpretive dance.
(6) Dropping the corpse unceremoniously into a heap at your feet, you sweep two of the curators up into an embrace, and swing them around, stomping and gyrating rhythmically. You call out "to the kitchen, to the pot, to our bellies!" (a traditional accompaniment to the interpretive dance) as you go.
(1) this seems to please the curators very much, as they seem to get into the spirit of the interpretive dance quite intensely.
(5) A couple of them gather up the heap that was your companion ... wait .. .they are going the wrong way! Lunch is this way!
(4) you hear sirens approaching.


JESUS. Run around shutting everything unneeded off.
(1) You go to shut something off, and a shock courses u your arm. It really stings, and you hop around on your good foot, holding your shocked arm with your good arm for a minute.

Start fixing the dishwasher, again. This time, revert the water pressure controls back to default instead of water pulse cannon.
(6) The water pressure returns to normal, but somehow the heat setting is elevated. Now your kitchen area is filling with steam.

Take quick nutrient bath. When that's done, figure out interface issues.
(2) You leave the control area and head to the nutrient baths. You settle in for a quick ... just a little ... maybe you'll just ... sleep ... a minute ...

FACERAPE HIM ALREADY!
(1 v. 5 - this literally could not have gone worse for you. Wow.) Working your way out from under the garbage, you make your way up the heap toward your target. You see him struggling up over the ridge opposite. Success! You spring into action, leaping toward him ... and right into the container he has prepared for you. The lid clamps down, and you are caught!

Go back to my food cart.
(1) You dive into the river tunnel and head back toward your cart. You hop out of the river at your destination and begin to ... something's wrong ... where's your cart? Wait, where are you? this doesn't look right. It's too dark, for one, and whatever that purple stuff is doesn't look like anything you've seen around your cart before.

Well, let's say you're going away from Earth on huge spaceship and suddenly shit goes wrong and you have Super Mutants. Social Experiments prepared them for this.

((Silly GM. Fungi do not sleep.))

Keffit-Fum found his sluggishness unusual. Clearly, his nutrient intake requires adjustment.

Adjust nutrient intake to prevent dormancy, then resume work. Figure out the problems with the interface.

Right, right. The long lines at the nutrient bath prevent you from getting nourishment this turn.  Keffit Fum found himself sluggish, unfocused, and disconnected, as if the voice of the Former overmind were coming to him from very far away. -1 on rolls until you are properly fed.

The place is steaming? But I've never even gotten to the oven yet! Or maybe the water short-circuited it somehow... Oh well there is always work to be done.

Fix whatever's causing the heat.

Blurble at him angrily!
(1) You settle contentedly into the container. It's a perfect fit!
((was that as weird for you as it was for me?))

Continue melting boulders, cackling with glee.
(6) As the test drones fly off to search for likely candidates, you select another target based on ... well, flamelust. Your lasers burn a hole deep into this one, which then explodes energetically! (6) Bits of it rain upon your machine. A  particularly large bit clangs hard against your hull, rattling you and sending the machine rolling erratically. The large bit was flaming as it hit ... must have been some oxygen in there ... you hope that was from the boulder ...

((Silly GM. Fungi do not sleep.))

Keffit-Fum found his sluggishness unusual. Clearly, his nutrient intake requires adjustment.

Adjust nutrient intake to prevent dormancy, then resume work. Figure out the problems with the interface.
(6) Nutrients flood into you in a highly energizing way. You find your senses on high alert, and develop .... uh ... the shroom equivalent of a sharp headache and a nervous twitch.
(3) Whatever glitch locked you out of the interface has been resolved while you were nutrating, but your data for the new project never compiled. Looks like it'll need reentered.

...Sit down on floor. Meditate. Get up and TURN EVERYTHING OFF AGAIN.
(3) the meditation does little to calm your nerves, what with the blaring and all. You do manage to silence an alarm. Only ... seven, eight, you don't know , but a lot of tings left to turn off.

See what purple stuff is.
(4) you peer into the purple stuff. It's soft and oozy. You think you recognize it as biomass that is compatible with your own body chemistry, a kind of nutrient slurry for a race of bottom feeders. It looks like it would feel good on your skin.

Explain my species to the gentleman.
(3) You manage to convey the concept of Sentient Plant. The being peers at you for several seconds, then replies "like a potato?" You have no idea what that is.
((shhhhhh..... potatos are funny, roll with it. Besides, I didn't say he was talking about an Earth potato.))

Fix whatever's causing the heat.
(6) You locate the source of the steam in the dishwasher's hot water dispenser. You manage to reset it to it's normal condition. Unfortunately, you are now lodged pretty firmly in your dishwasher.

((a lot of sixes, ones, and threes this round. Dansmithers continues his unfortunate streak.))

If possible to accomplish without being totally decimated, head for the station, and ram it. Otherwise, try to ram the firebug.
((And thus ends my character, assuming I don't roll a 5, and maybe even then.
