OPEN || Kinda Bug and Kinda Snack
Who: Turo & You!
Status: Open
Where: Snaxburg Island
What: Snaxburg Secrets MANTA Quest, exploring the town-sized island and taking everything in. Building up what is essentially a Snaxdex. Other shenanigans likely to ensue.(Prose or brackets, I'll match you)
Warnings: Will but any up as needed.
Exploration 🐞
A
[Really, this was just the thing to get into after properly resting after an incident last month -and fortunate he did rest, given the mess of things elsewhere- was to head to a newly discovered island. Even if on the smaller side, the rumored life there sounded absolutely fascinating, and reason there were several notebooks stashed away in his leather bag along with a few other items more meant for anyone else exploring he might stumble across as well.
Even the moment he started in, the darting sweetie flies of various kinds were eye catching, and carefully he was able to coax a glittering one that looked like rock candy on a stick to land on his hand.]
Well, you are magnificent little one.
B
[Turo had stopped to take pictures of a few Bugsnax that were marching along, a section which had fallen behind racing to catch up, when a rather glittering, brightly colored bugsnack practically leapt into view to strike a pose the moment the sound of the shellphone's camera had gone off. Rather excitedly as well.]
Oh. You... like attention?
[INSTA!] Ah, I see.
[This one would likely stay still enough for him to sketch out- even if it wasn't necessary, but easier to share like the pictures would be...]
Take It All In 🍔
[It hadn't really been too long into Turo's adventure before a couple of Bungers had taken to following after him. Bouncing along with every step, even rushing along as if to ensure a few more aggressive of their kind kept a distance.
More so when Turo had found a good place to sit that had so many varieties of them milling about so he could pull out one of the notebooks and start sketching a few groups amongst the pages that carried a few more individual pieces that had notes with them.
Even with a few of the somewhat larger Bugsnax flying around, almost at ease with his presence.
Even with things like Loaded Spuddies and a few Flapjackarak meandering around. Watching how they seemed to 'hunt' around here.]
Are you two not hungry?
[Bunger Bunger Bunger—]
Hm. If you are sure.
Wildcard! 🃏

no subject
[Words fully meant, as usual, coming from Turo as he did just as told after pausing with that clear meaning for it.
It was rather clear that the preying mantis looking creature may have held some fear for the other the way it postured and swung claws while attempting to make itself bigger- but it didn't sway the golden wrapped Spuddy. Oh no.
The Spuddy fully charged at the Preying Picantis, knocking it off it's rock to be sent flying, hitting against one of the cacti close by as soil had given way to sand. It slid down into some oasis like pond after a bounce and- panic ensued as it tried to scramble out of the water, hissing all the while, the Spuddy simply wandering off.
A surprise came when the Picantis exploded- and from it flew a large moth-like creature, a panicking worm-like one that burrowed into the sand, and then two six-legged creatures which scurried off.]
... It... broke into smaller separate creatures.
[Oh, he was getting all of this down in his notebook quickly, despite how very strange that was.]
no subject
Daqiang made them visible once more. He really could only hold it for a few minutes a day and any time he could save the better.]
The implications of that are... concerning.
no subject
[Writing it all down even as he spoke, Turo quick to sketch up images of the pieces that had scattered, run off. An easier way for something capable of knocking it apart so it could- what? Feed on them? Scatter them off to claim its territory?
The Spuddy seemed to be pleased with itself at least, meandering off past the rock the Picantis had been on.]
Multiple creatures that combine and create one larger one. Are they more amorphous in nature, but able to fuse together in whatever shape they have taken- making them at least something more than what they appear.
no subject
[An order. Turo was certain to have already intended to do such, but now Daqiang wanted to know what other oddities these creatures had in case they were equally suspicious. When something is injured and dying, it should die, not scatter into multiple other creatures that looked nothing like the original.]
This venerable one will return to the ship and inform the sailing crew to avoid the creatures until we know more. We should not risk an infestation should one be injured and similarly transform itself.
no subject
[A nod of his head that was a partial bow of it- these creatures had certainly crossed into something more than mere curiosity if it was possible that their form was- unstable? No, that didn't seem the right word for it. There was still mimicry at play, but what they were made up of-
Could only liken it to something of a Ditto almost, but that likely didn't cover it all either.]
I will make as thorough of a report as I can, more so than I was already planning to with this discovery, and agree that it is much better to be safe. Care will be put into finding anything further as I go.
