4 Planning

'What if I could create my own body…!?...its totally possible. Its just like getting genetic treatment or artificial stem cell implants…no,no,no...I'm not considering the state in which my body is right now. I'm a slime. Slimes are creatures who can be easily modified without needing to recieve any sort of genetic treatment or otherwise.'

Because of the fact I'm a slime my previous mindset needs to be changed. If I'm a slime…and I have intelligence…then I can just manually modify myself. All I need is the materials to make the bones. My body itself can act like the tissues necessary for movement.

The more I think along these lines the more I feel like it's plausible and a great idea. I don't even need any kind of flesh. I can just substitute with my body.

While I was thinking about all this the rest of the troll body which hadn't been digested and assimilated is gone.

I should probably move now. Although I'm a slime there are definitely a few simple ways to kill me or at least harm me. On top of that I have literally no information on where I am and are there any intelligent species. Will they be hostile to me if I present myself? Are there other creatures like me? What are my weaknesses? What if… and so on and on. The point is im figuratively blind and deaf here but I shouldn't rush things cause there's not a immediate solution to this problem right now. I should take everything step by step.

But I'm getting sidetracked here. I should be thinking about my body but I'm going to stop here cause of three reasons which will or probably won't have serious ramifications:

1.I don't have any suitable materials right now. I can't use bones cause they'll eventually get digested by myself which kind of defeats their purpose. Even if I try to stop the digestion consciously I can do it for a while but not forever cause obviously there are going to be times when i'm distracted. Its an involuntary action I cant stop it rather than waste my time on that might as well work my way around it.

2. I need a base of operations. There are way too many factors I'm unaware of and I wont always be operating at a capacity of 100% physically or mentally. Thus a place retreat,recuperate,plan and strategize is vital for my survival.

3.I am looking at a huge brown hear but its different than normal brown bears. Its hide looks more like spikes instead of well…a hide I guess. On top of that it's got these weird yellowish patterns on its body. But the problem is I'm about ninety percent sure this creature is hostile considering the fact that it is circling around me instead of retreating which means it's hesitating to decide whether it should act.

I waited for a while so that it would attack but it didn't and I was starting to get bored so…well I'll attack you stupid big ass idiot of a bear.
