WildGrowths Shop: The Back Back Room

[WildGrowths]

Dr. Kayesh gestures abruptly as he spots you hovering near the lab's doorway.  He hustles you into one of the back rooms, past the tanks of blobbies and into the next room down.

"I've made a discovery," he whispers to you hoarsely.  If you inspect him, you'll notice that he's even more disheveled than usual, and, in fact, seems to have some heavy bags under his eyes.  Emotionally, however, he seems elated.  "I think this is the key to blobbie reproduction!"  He glances towards the door almost furtively, then leans in closer to you.  "Mushrooms."

The scientist straightens and crosses his arms, waiting for some sort of reaction perhaps, but he doesn't wait long enough before pushing the conversation on.  "I haven't pinpointed what they all do yet; if only Miki had shown me the mushroom she ate before she ate it!  But look, look, here!"  He almost shoves you at a telescope.  It's zoomed far, far in on a small, coloured mushroom.  "See that!  I think tha tmeans it needs to be used with one of the bigger mushrooms!  It has the same sort of propensity as the fruits, I think, but, then--"  he cuts himself off and stares seriously at you.

"You can't give them mushrooms without my presence!  I don't dare let Miki have anymore, so I need to be there when you try on your blobbies!  Just come find me in this room-- don't let Alice see you!-- and we'll do some experiments."

[WildGrowths]

(Yes, blobbies can officially reproduce!  I didn't expect Miki to find a mushroom so early in the game, but, since she did, they'll be available fairly rarely.

Breedings are possible in a multitude of ways, but it will be up to you to discover which mushroom does what.  Because there are so many possibilities, you should either have other blobbies around for the other parent option (or let Dr. Kayesh know you'd like to have some of the tank blobbies available), or be prepared for the breeding to not work.  

Hint: The tiny colored mushrooms aren't the only ones that should be used with another mushroom.

Blobbies don't have an official breeding season, but I probably won't be doing too many at a time so I can keep up with other growths and things.  Please keep an eye open for slots and their availability and realize that things will likely still be a little slow in this thread.)

FAQs/Info

Only one blobbie will eat mushrooms per round.  This one will be the 'mother', so to speak.  You can try to feed them as many mushrooms as you desire, though not all of them may be consumed.  Blobbies will instinctively eat the mushrooms that apply to its current situation.  

For the colored slots available this time, they will be based off the color of the 'mother' blobbie; so the blobbie eating the mushrooms.  I will generally assume that the 'mother' blobbie is the first blobbie listed.  

You may put in as many other items as you'd like into the mix.  Items used during a breeding, be they food or other items, will effect the offspring and not the parents, except in very rare cases.

The genders of the blobbies are important based on which type of mushrooms you have.  As far as Dr. Kayesh can tell, any type of breeding is possible based on the mushrooms available.

[WildGrowths]

(Phew!  Please feel free to post any questions here as well.  I know I have at least one more growth to do before I will feel comfortable opening any breedings, but I did want the info to be up in case I've missed something blatant that people would like to know about. )

[Kadana Sorano]

How would one acquire mushrooms?  Will they be for sale, or are they strictly for finding during rp?

[WildGrowths]

(There should be some mushrooms for sale soon, there also a few slated to be given out in some free events, and, of course, some of them can be found through RP.

When this is officially marked open, Dr. Kayesh should have a few for sale if there hasn't been an item sale of them yet.  This will be one of the few times he will sell mushrooms.  Or any items, hopefully; he really abhors that part. lol)

[YourLoveOnly]

Oooh that is so exciting! Do genders matter for succesfull breedings?
I think they do, but I figured I should ask just to be save <3

[indigowulf]

Soothe reaches for the mushroom being viewed, trying to snatch it up and gobble it.

"NO!" I put my hand between him and it, he climbs onto my hand and tries to streeeeetch himself out towards it, "thats not yours, Soothe!"

He begins to pout, and climbs into my jacket pocket to sulk.

[WildGrowths]

(Genders are, indeed, important for breedings.  I will let you know if the required blobbies or items are present.  Mushrooms will not be used if the needed components for breedin aren't here.

Slots are open.  For this round, Dr. Kayesh will take one breeding per color.  You may sign up for more than one color this round.)

[sera]

lol i need to name my new blobbie. *coughs*  May i purchase a Frilled Mushroom and a Swirly Mushroom anyway?

[Kadana Sorano]

I would like to purchase one Plain Mushroom, and one Swirly Mushroom please.

Payment has been sent.

DO I need to wait for these to be updated to my inventory before using them in breeding?

Also.. I guess that means a genderless (it) blobbie can't breed?

Annd does this also mean two blobbies of differant colors cannot breed together?

[WildGrowths]

(Mushrooms confirmed to here.)

Dr. Kayesh tilts his head.  "On the contrary, the different types of mushrooms allow different things.  As far as I can tell, with the right mushroom any type of breeding is possible, include It breedings, and single blobbie breedings.  Though that's more like a budding than a breeding. . ." he trails off, momentarily distracted.

"From what I've seen thus far, blobbies will breed and the offspring is generally the colour of the parent that ate the mushroom.  This isn't always true, but I haven't yet pinpointed the mushroom that causes that."  He frowns in thought.  After several moments, he shakes his head.  "Did that answer your question?"

[Kadana Sorano]

I think so.. OK then, let me try this..

Also, in case I'm supposed to decide which one eats the Mushrooms, feed the plain to Prism and the Swirly to Vera.  Or if both need to be ate by the same blobbie, then both to Prism.

And of course, if I'm not meant to choose, then that's perfectly fie!  I just didn't want you to potentially have to ait on me to get back and decide if i had been meant to lol

Yellow Tiny Mushroom, Rounded Mushroom

[indigowulf]

Id like to purchase a yellow tiny mushroom, and a exotic mushroom please.

Now before I post a breeding form and do it all wrong, I have 2 questions- first, can we use as many mushrooms as we want, or just 2? Second, can we throw other items into the mix? Oh and we just ask for tank blobbie on the form, right? if not, I need a partner!

[YourLoveOnly]

I am wondering about the same things and I am also waiting 'til I get my question in the other thread answered.. Don't wanna breed a pair and then find a shiny new blobbie that seems like a better pair.

[WildGrowths]

(Only one blobbie will eat mushrooms per round.  This one will be the 'mother', so to speak.  You can try to feed them as many mushrooms as you desire, though not all of them may be consumed.  Blobbies will instinctively eat the mushrooms that apply to its current situation.

Yes, you may use a random 'tank' blobbie by simply entering Tank Blobbie into the Second Blobbie blanks.

Mushrooms verified to here.  Sorry if this is too confusing!)

[Silvanon]

I'd like to buy a Plain Mushroom and a Frilled Mushroom please!

ETA:  Is there a blobbie out there who'd be willing to be paired up with Chemed?  If the breeding works, I'd like to know what the other parent looks like.    *Chemed burbles and looks around*

[YourLoveOnly]

I have four blobbies, one female, one male, one it and the fourth one needs to be certed so I dunno what gender that is. But I just read I can sign up for more than one color this round so yea.. I do have blobbies available, but I would like some kind of fee in return. Dunno what would be fair O.o

[Silvanon]

Thanks YLO!  Chemed is male (hehe, forgot to say that in my post above) so I'm imagining a female would give the best chance of a successful breeding.  (I think the "It" would probably be my next choice.)

As far as a fee, well, they haven't been added to my inventory yet but I've put in to buy an Orange Bittersweet and a Purple Flowers, if you're looking for WG items.  I've got a lot of SG if you're interested in that, or I could do a small Kennel bed?  Or?     

[YourLoveOnly]

Oooh small kennel bed will do, yes yes. I planned on going with WildGrowth items, but those particular items don't really have my fancy so I think kennel bed would be good. Let's wait and see what gender my adorable purple elephantsnail is (yes, I've decided it's an elephant snail XD) and then we can figure things out further. My female is Sookie, who is already in stage 1 and the one I am most attached too but we'll see. I will defenitely use either Sookie or Bebbie myself, maybe both, it mostly depends on the gender of my new purple one which I'll find out once Dr. Kayesh certs Pharple.

My blobbies:

         - Female -                         - It -                        - Male -                   - Female -            

I just thought I would post them in case you also care about the way they look and not just their gender.
Oooh! Question for the FAQ: can blobbies only breed once per round? Or does it depend on their gender? Like females can breed once and males twice or whatever?

[WildGrowths]

(Kadana, I'm sorry, I just realized I completely missed one of your questions.  I'm apparently just pretending to be all the way back. 

Blobbies of different colors can breed together.

Soothe is confirmed as the daddy blobbie; all mushrooms will be eaten by the tank blobbie, which random chance deems purple.

Silvanon's mushroom purchases are confirmed.

Pharple is apparently Female.)

Dr. Kayesh glances over at YourLoveOnly before thoughtfully replying, "There is no numerical limit to the number of times a blobbie can breed per round, but when they breed, they're actually budding off from the 'mother' blobbie, as it were.  As such, if you breed too many times in a round, the blobbie won't have an opportunity to renew itself.  There is a distinct possibility of a blobbie breeding itself out of existence, or perhaps back a Stage?" He doesn't sound as positive about this, and finally shakes his head.  "In any case, it seems wisest to take care of the number of times you breed your blobbie, especially if it's still Stage 0." 

[YourLoveOnly]

Silvanon, I am going to breed Sookie and Bebbie myself. I would breed Boo and Pharple too, but both those color slots are gone.. You can borrow one of them if you want in return for the small bed and then make your blob the mommy?

I give Silvanon permission to use Pharple in a breeding

[WildGrowths]

(This breeding season will be open until I finish drawing the new blobbies.  There are two slots remaining.  Sorry this has taken so long, everyone, but I think I've gotten a few more things figured out on the items and the breedings in general.)

[YourLoveOnly]

Is it possible to apply for a breeding with a tank blobbie to get one of the remaining slots? I have a blobbie left, but no green or yellow.

[red_uni387]

is it still possible to purchase mushrooms? if so, I'd love an exotic and rounded

[YourLoveOnly]

It says breeding season is still open, so I'm pretty sure that means mushroom sales are also open.

[WildGrowths]

Dr. Kayesh comes out and regards YourLoveOnly thoughtfully.  "Since there hasn't been anyone else overally interested, I believe that will be fine for this round.  I hate for things to not be in order." 

He's surprised to see red_uni387 there, but nods at her question anyway.  "Your mushroom purchases are confirmed."

He pauses to think again, before turning back to YourLoveOnly, "If you sign for another slot and someone else signs for a slot for one of the two remaining colors, I will just grab a tank blobbie of the unused color.  If someone else signs for a tank blobbie, then I will choose a random blobbie for your breeding first, and the other person will have the left over color.  I hope these are acceptable terms."

[YourLoveOnly]

Yes that is fine! I don't have a blobbie of either color, so I would be happy with any outcome.

[WildGrowths]

(All slots are filled.

Random chance deems YourLoveOnly's second slot to be green.  Therefore, red_uni387 will take the yellow slot.

Two thirds of the breedings are now complete.  I'm hoping to finish them today, but I don't suggest anyone hold their breath.  lol  Sorry, again, that these are taking so long.)

[YourLoveOnly]

Breedings, breedings, eee! -dances around-
And green + blue should make awesome babies. I believe you said it often takes the bodycolor of the mommy blob, so that could give me a green blobbie. I don't have a green one yet ^^

Yaaay. -all hyper- I shall be stalking. And then sleep. And then stalk again.

[red_uni387]

*squeals* yes yes yes!!! green's my least favorite color, and yellow's one of my favorites, so eeeee!!!

[YourLoveOnly]

I would have been happy with both colors, I do not yet have a WildGrowth of either ^^

(Well, ironically or not, I had a space of free time and finished the other breedings.  Unfortunately.  Photobucket will not open for me.  Everytime I click anywhere on the page it loads a blank page and says done.  I will keep trying throughout the evening to try and get it up, but breedings won't be posted until it works again.  Sorry!)

[red_uni387]

awww evil photobucket D:

edit: I see pickups :O they're all so adorable!!

[WildGrowths]

"Miki!"  The outraged cry sounds from the back back room of the lab, and you're drawn back to find out what the fuss is about.  Miki comes darting out past you with a bottle in her jaws.  Dr. Kayesh stops himself on the doorframe to keep from running into you.  He glares towards his blobbie, but motions for you to follow him back into the room.

"The breedings. . . well, Miki messed with them." He sends you a pained look.  "Not all of them, just a few.  She apparently dropped some mushrooms in some of the tanks.  But, well, here are the results."

Kadana Sorano: No mushrooms used.
indigowulf: All items used.
YourLoveOnly: (First) All items used.  (Second) Swirly Mushroom used.
Silvanon: Frilled Mushroom used.
red_uni387: Exotic Mushroom used.

Despite the fact that Miki had messed with some of the breedings, overall the scientist looks pleased.  "There are a few interesting things that occured, though.  Indigowulf, you have the most changed of the blobbies.  Those protrustions are actually green glass; Soothe seems to have given up some of its glass.  I'm not really sure why it's glowing purple, though; perhaps that was one of the items you used?  Silvanon, congratulations, your blobbie had twins."  He seems especially pleased here.  "I'm marking them down as a and b, since they're essentially the same blobbie, only split into two.  YourLoveOnly, your new red blobbie came out very colorful; I think it was also caused by items, though perhaps a few of the stripes were adopted from Sookie."

He waves his hands at the blobbies, indicating that everyone can take their blobbies now.  "Keep me informed of their growth," he requests as you leave.

(So a few notes:  I misrolled a few of the breedings, so at least two of them should have failed, but didn't because I had messed up.  Oh, well.  Silvanon has identical twins, and normally they would just share an image (so both a and b would just have the one picture, thought they are two different blobbies), but since this is the first set I wanted to go ahead and draw them.  They are identical, but you can see the front by looking at a and the back by looking at b.  

Feel free to post names here.

I hope everyone likes them and, again, I'm sorry they took so long!)

[YourLoveOnly]

Oooh! They are all so extremely adorable! <3
I adoooore my blobbies. I want to name the male Craze and the female Nuclei.
I love the colorful crazyness of the male and I am already trying to figure out what direction I can see him going into. Defenitely a blobbie with lotsa possibilities. I really like the female's shade of green with that brighter lime outline and her shape immediately inspired me.

Red's blobbie looks so interesting.. I would love to see it evolve. And Nordin is a proud daddie ^^
And I <3 the glowing glass thingy and the fairy wings on indigowulf's. Dinosaur fae thingy, awesome. I find those twins intriguing, they keep me staring (didn't even know that could happen O.o). And Kadana's makes me go oooh, genie in a bottle! <3

Question about the twins: If RPed without the use of items, would they stay identical? I assume using items on one of them will defenitely make them unidentical, but I was wondering if just RP can also do that. It makes sense that it could, because blobbies are also influenced by what they interact with.. Not that they are my twins, I am just curious XD

Another question: can tiny colored mushrooms also be used to influence/add color onto already excisting blobbies or will that not work? My plan for Bebbie has always been to make her really colorful (hence why she is eating paint and other art supplies) and this might me a good way to achieve that ^^

[Silvanon]

Wow twins!  That was really unexpected and awesome!  Also thanks for the different images, that makes it especially fun!  ^_____^ 

YLO and I have made a deal for twin A to go home with her (I've posted in the trade thread) and I'll be keeping twin B. 

YLO is naming twin A "Spunk" and I'd like to name twin B "Spice".

Wheeeee! 

*Chemed gives a warm loving "hug" and burble to Spunk and then ushers Spice up onto Silvanon's shoulder.  Spice seems rather hyper and not at all shy, as she immediately begins exploring with no hesitation.  Silvanon quickly moves her hair out of possible eating range, which causes Spice to make an angry mewing noise - until she notices a couple loose hairs on Silvanon's shoulder, which she quickly munches down*

[red_uni387]

blobbie babies! :DD pretty yellow blobbie looks like a little fox, so i'd like to name her Sneak! thank you so much <333

[WildGrowths]

( And finally certed the blobbies I have names for! Sorry this took so long, everyone!  If you still need to name your blobbie, please post in the thread in the Trading Forum, using the Renaming Form. )











Dr. Kayesh eyes the twin blobbies with more thoughtful interest.  "If they lived in the exact same evironment, exposed to the exact same things, etc. etc., then I imagine they would remain identical.  But that would be incredibly difficult to do, if not impossible.  Living in the same environment without items, I would assume that they would remain very similiar, but I think it would probably be impossible to keep them identical."

Dr. Kayesh glances towards the mushrooms still on the table.  "As far as I can tell right now, the mushrooms are only used during the reproduction process.  I don't think it would be impossible for a blobbie to change color from eating one, but they seem to be completely uninterested in eating mushrooms except for when they are budding off."

Now that everyone seems to have collected their blobbies, Dr. Kayesh shoos you off and goes back to work, muttering under his breath about experiments with pumpkins.
