In the same freshly-defrosted lands in which Goodberry Bushes grow, a teal plant appears.

In a glacier carved valley, the goodberry and catnip prosper, bringing color to an otherwise desolate terrain. Throngs of bushes crowd the glacier tip, sucking water and mana from a trickling creek. The mana-imbued runoff drips from icefluff filled ravines sheltered betwixt the cracked sheets of ice.

You have discovered a new property of icefluff.

More importantly, the catnip and goodberry bushes have difficulty retaining the mana. The absorbed mana is forced into the goodberry flowers, and dispersed with its fruit and pollen... One of the bushes has only one flowerbud left. The concentration of mana within the bud is abnormal! Within the bud, mana is coalescing into something unknown: an organism forming from high concentrations of mana!

tl;dr - Icefluff is a magic herb, and when it dies releases mana into the water. Goodberry bushes that absorb enough mana will give birth to water sprites, which (with enough mana) mature into Naiads. ((FakerFangirl will spend her three relationship points on birthing water sprites and giving out one icefluff quest reward.))

Quote from: OP
Creation:

I. 4 gods take turns spawning life. They will do this until they each have created 2 organisms, which can either be Fauna or Flora.

II. They will then take turns giving the organisms relationships, such as "_ eats _" "_ lives in _" until each got has created 3 relationships.

III. At the end, any Fauna with no beneficial relationships dies off. Including ones that lose their last one because of this. Life with the most harmful relationships will be most populous. Life with the most beneficial relationships(minus harmful ones) will be the best candidates for sentient life in the Society phase. Whom ever created the organism with the most beneficial relationships(minus harmful ones) will get 100 points, second will get 50 points, third 25 points, and last 0 points. Same for the player with the most populous life, and most diversity of surviving organisms. Ties will share a lowered rank, with more per tie lowering it more.
You're getting ahead of yourself, Faker.

Anyway, Saladman, I believe it is your turn.

I am assuming I am creating another life form so,
Along the route of the migrating Snowstubs is a pair of tall trees absorbing the heat of the sun with its navy leaves and distributing it to the surrounding area.

((Two flora! Name checks out.))

You're getting ahead of yourself, Faker.
((@Yellow : I'm powerful enough to use god power to imbue icefluff with mana or create water nymphs from thin air, but for the long term I have to learn how to incorporate their life cycle into nature so that the nymphs don't run out of mana and die when my 'spawn' power runs out.))

A species of bipedal reptilian creatures arises - not sapient, but capable of using sticks and stones as very primitive tools, like monkeys do. Most are slightly off-white, though a few in regions more populated with life can be found in greens, blues, and reds. What all share, however, are brightly yellow eyes.

A new species of fauna appears: Tealcats. They are, as their name implies, felines with a teal color of fur. They are sapient and capable of speech, but their lack of opposable thumbs or the ability to stand on two legs for any meaningful periods of time prevents tool use unless they get creative, which could take a long time (don't count them as truly sentient until Society phase). They can also eat plants in addition to meat, but plants are less nutritious for them.

Ok, so in summary we have...
Icefluff: Flora. A hardy red weed.
Goodberry Bushes: Flora. Bushes with sturdy wooden branches holding up the yellow-flecked green leaves.
Catnip: Flora. A type of herb about 1 meter tall.
Suntrees: Flora.
Wooly Snowstubs: Fauna. A fluffy blue sheep.
Water Sprites: Fauna. Living personifications of mana.
Saeriqs: Fauna. Bipedal reptilian.
Tealcats: Fauna. Felines with a teal color of fur.

Ok well that's a lot of plants(this planet sure has bounced back, hasn't it!?). Oh wait, that thing is a sheep, so even Steven.

So if you want to add a relationship that benefits both, make atleast one word in your post limegreen. Use red if it benefits one and harms the other. Use yellow if it doesn't fit the other two.

Whelp, guess I'll go first.

Saeriqs begin to use primitive herding techniques on Wooly Snowstubs in areas where they both are, the former protecting the latter until such time as more food is needed, and then killing the relatively old specimens for their meat and fur.

Wooly Snowstubs help icefluffs migrate across the planet by letting the weed grasp on the Snowstub’s wool. The snowstubs let the icefluff eat the scraps and dirt from its wool until the icefluffs are ready to leave their carrier.

((Thank you Saladman. If no one consumes icefluffs then the quest reward will default to the Snowstubs.)

Chasing an interesting nymph, a Tealcat happens upon a pond and decides to take a drink. While playing, it notices a goodberry flower larger than all the others, and swats it for fun. Amidst the falling petals, a water nymph falls out! After chasing nymphs a few days, the Tealcat notices that not only do nymphs like hiding in the goodberry bushes - newborn Water Nymphs are birthed from goodberry bush flowers!

tl;dr - Nymphs born in Goodberry Bushes that have absorbed mana.

Satisfied with her work, FakerFangirl observes the other species' interactions.
