The Living Suit Pt. 1
I woke up on the floor of a tram car, i was going to an abandoned lab to explore why it was abandoned. This tram car was the fastest (and the only way without off-roading) to get there. It had taken 4 hours last i checked and now it was probably 8 hours. The stop was soon so i stood up and sat on one of the benches. Half an hour later i was at the stop and was let in. It definitely looked abandoned, just without moss. I walked over to the check in desk, put down my backpack, and found a note about "creatures", huh. I decided to look around the other areas. I walked down the main hallway and came to a crossing i would have gone down the right one because there was rooms that way but there were orange footprints going to the left. There were some checks before i came and they didn't see anything like this. I press a button and the doors opened. There was a room with a central control center; lot's of dials, switches, buttons, sliders, you know; and on top of it was a glass container with something in there. I walked around it, there was a door on the other side that lead to the hallway i was going to go down, then i saw a big button labeled "Press In Case of Meltdown", i pressed it, thinking there wasn't any power going here. The glass broke and the specimen jumped at me, i tried to go backwards but the door had closed locking me in. It wrapped around me, squishing and poking my back, and i could feel everything it was doing in the back and front, then it stopped. It was wrapped tightly around my torso and some tendrils(?) were stuck in my back. My arms and hands were wrapped on one side by white tendrils(?) and i could feel nothing. It was like it wasn't there. In fact i felt better, i had a cut on my knee from something a couple days earlier and it was gone. Weird. I pressed the front door button and walked down the hallway. I could start to feel some weird squishing on my back but i kept continuing. I found the bathroom and looked in the mirror, yup, it was wrapped around me. I realized that i left my backpack in the entrance. I went back to grab it and my camera to see what the back looked like. 8 things were stuck in my back. I explored and saw the research lab, in there was a mess. More orange footprints, goo everywhere, and the furniture strewn about. I followed the footprints to a door. Inside were a whole bunch of clipboards and more footprints leading up to a vent. The clipboards detailed a bunch of stuff. I took the papers off and put them in my back for later. I went in the vent, just to see what was going on, and found myself in a room with frosted glass and buttons. I unfrosted them and took pictures. I kept following the footprints until they lead to a vent that took me right back to the control center. I had everything i needed. But there was still the thing wrapped around me. I tried to pry it off and that didn't work. I tried leaving with it and it didn't let me. The only thing i could do was stay in here, and so i did. I managed to find a wifi signal-although it was bad-and send my colleagues the situation and the images. I realized that i healed every time i got hurt and started sending info about the other creatures. I tested them on me, and documented it. I kept going around the place and i found a locked room, the only one. I had found a key in some room and put it in, it worked. I turned the handle and inside were no lights, a figure in the corner and orange footsteps. I walked over to the figure and saw that it was a person, that looked dead. Around their torso was what looked like the thing that was wearing me. Although it looked different: it had teeth, it had six of the back tendrils(?) and it had no arm protection. I waited what felt like a week, documenting everything, until my colleagues came and somehow pulled it off. It died immediately and so we went to autopsy it. It was very weird. We found out how it protected people, by injecting them with a dark-blue substance. The substance could protect from everything, from radiation to gunshots, it all survived. We also found it was self-sustaining, until it latched on, then it helped its host while helping itself. It couldn't die until it didn't have a source of energy. We found the chemicals that made the substance and won the nobel prize for finding a stable element. We're currently looking into mass-producing this. We've kept coming every so often and the newest time we autopsied the person, he had a different substance that replaced his blood, killing him slowly, and painfully. We also examined the other creatures, specifically dead ones, and found other killing ways. That's it for now.
The Living Suit Pt. 2
I was sitting on a bench in a tramcar, it had taken 8 hours to get there. I was on a private investigation to find out what had happened to the science lab in this desert. There was a team of investigators who went by yesterday to check for a public investigation. The tramcar stopped and i exited. I entered the lab and saw how dilapidated it was. My first stop was to the control center. The creature cage was empty and there was a box in the hallway behind it. I opened the box and put the glass box onto the platform. I went to the research lab first to read up on the creatures. I stepped on something and looked down, it looked like a dead one of those things in the glass cage. Then it woke up, and then got up on its legs. These creatures don't do that so i ran into the vent and it was still chasing me. I ended up in the creature lab and it was still chasing me. I didn't even want the info, i just wanted to leave. I ended up back in the control room and, while trying to drop down safely, it attached. I only had 15 minutes, but i had no idea where the antidote was. I looked around and felt worse and worse. I was running out of time. The orange stuff and cleaned off my shoes but when i entered a room i had stepped on another corpse. This angered the thing and a couple minutes later i passed out. I woke up on the floor of a tramcar. I looked at my phone and saw that it was a month later. The public investigators had already passed through here. The tramcar stopped and i realized that i should have died. I stepped out and re-entered the facility. The control room creature was gone and my footsteps had been cleaned. I then realized that they had probably found me. i checked the room and i was not there. I felt a squishing on my back then i realized something, i pulled my shirt up and saw it. They had saved me. I searched the basement and found another box and put it on the control center. I was supposed to do this given that used to be the person who ran this room. I cleaned up the facility... wait. Why was i cleaning this up? I wasn't the person who ran the control center. Who was i? I checked in the mirror and it was still me. I checked the thing again and saw a fake brain "plugged" in. I pulled it off and forgot a bunch of stuff about these things. I put it back in and wrote down everything, then went back to cleaning until it was clean enough, then i pulled it off again. I felt it squish again, then i used the machine to remove it and kill it. I left and took the 8 hour tram ride again. I came back to my area and, of course, got asked a bunch of questions, all of them i answered. I met Gene who told me that, yep, they saved me. That's it for now.
Sonic
I was driving an hour away to test something new, the Sonic suit. Let me tell you about a couple days ago. I was sent into the building and had to get in a machine. I got it and it closed. 2 arms came down, each with 4 balls on them. They were for making the sonic suit fit me perfectly. They covered me in something weird that the scientists pulled off and i went back home. But they've made one, so i was going there. When i got there i changed into it, it felt weird but it was comfy. I was asked to go home wearing it under my clothes. So i went home. A couple hours later i was sleeping in bed when i heard crackling noises, i opened my eyes and saw that the suit was glowing, and was moving weirdly I went back to sleep before i felt a bag being slipped onto me. They tied it around my neck. I somehow could still breathe. I opened my eyes after this only to find that the bag was completely opaque. I somehow was able to sleep after that and woke up back in the lab. I was in a white room on a mattress. I knew that i was in the lab judging by the dimensions of the room and the door position, this was the room where i changed into the suit. The door was locked and the only other thing was a broken glass box. Then i felt a squish. I lifted my shirt up and saw one of those things. There was a chunk of metal in the middle of it (editor's note: this is how they control them) and i couldn't remove it. The door suddenly opened and i could walk out. The outside was not like it was before, black stuff covered the hallway and the hallway was made of wood. I came to a door and opened it. Instead of the scientists, there were black oily creatures. I also suddenly realized that my Sonic was gone. They looked at me and one walked up to me. They put their arms around my neck and now i was in the back of a van with one of the scientists untying the thing. Apparently things called "Voiders" had somehow detected that i was wearing a Sonic and had stolen me for testing one of those things, then they found me in this bag. Also the Sonic had worked and they just changed the frequency, but someone stole the old frequency and blueprints. For some reason a Voider turned themselves into one of the scientists and stole them. So now they can steal people based on other stuff. All you need to do is have a Sonic on and in the right place it'll change its frequency. Anyways its now on store shelves and you can go buy one, i'm bored.
Embedded Waruit
I woke up on the floor of my college after studying. I left after looking to see if anyone was around. I went to my dorm and passed out on the bed. I had to wake up at 2:00 am for something so i got up at 1:00 something. I had to go fix something at the local lab, at 2:00 am, because they needed to use something for the science fair tomorrow. I drove to the lab, very tired, and fixed it. I almost left the lab until i saw that the basement door was open. I hadn't seen it open before and so i entered. It was very dark without a light switch. I was walking around blind until i found a mattress down there, and so i slept for some reason. I awoke in a bed, same mattress, but actually on a bed. I got up and walked around, something felt off though. I felt like i was in a dream, but i could feel pain so no. Actually i almost couldn't feel pain, it was like something was blocking it. I also kept feeling squishing on my back, but i couldn't find where it was coming from. The door out of the bedroom i was in was locked and there weren't any windows. The squishing kept getting faster and my vision was starting to blur. My chest was also starting to glow, i pulled up my shirt and saw a weird fleshy thing embedded in my chest. I passed out shortly after. I woke up in a factory, instantly checked to see if i still had it and i did, but there was someone who said that they could remove it. Little did i know he didn't. He also showed me something, spikes. I was supposed to get on a conveyor belt and lay down and i wouldn't get hurt. So i did-trusting this random person-and what do you know, it did. But when i went to check there were no holes except in my clothes, huh. But then something jumped at me and started squeezing me very hard. It was like i was going to die, then it stopped. I somehow slept on the conveyor belt and woke up in a forest at night. There was eyes farther in the forest and so-even though i was completely scared-went over to them. I didn't know how i wasn't scared about eye in the middle of a forest at night, but was about being in a forest at night. In fact, i don't even think i was walking over be myself, it was like i was on autopilot. They held out a light to show nothing but liquid black then i walked into them. It was weird, like something was happening in there but i couldn't see or feel it. Then i opened my eyes, i was a lot taller and made out of the same liquid, i had become it. After a little bit the thing that was on my chest spoke to me and was making me close my eyes. "Become one with the void" it said. After a little bit it blinked and i was now in a black liquid area with a door. I opened it up and everywhere was black liquid trails and these beings. I couldn't take it anymore i reached into my body and tried to find the thing but, i had become the being. Now how did i end up back as a human, i just asked. I woke up in a lab where the people got it off by using a crowbar and needles. They found out that some of the people running the lab were the "Voiders" and they had tried to indoctrinate me. Unfortunately for them, most of them hate these people. That's all i have to write
Facial
So i was working at White Tree Labs when i had to go into the freezer. I applied my Livuit and started fixing the AC in there. For some reason my Livuit didn't want to enter the freezer and when i forced it to it slipped off my body and started walking back. This made me more aware of things in there, but not aware enough for what was to come. I had followed the cooling lines to another one of our freezers where there was a broken pipe. On top of the pipe was something i hadn't seen before jumping at me. I went backwards but it swung off of a rope attached to the ceiling. It gripped to my face and started squeezing, squishing, and everything before it stopped. I couldn't see anything and, even though i couldn't feel anything of my mouth, my speech was muffled. Then i started to see again. You know when paper burns, that's basically what happened from the middle of my vision to the edges. I looked up a d saw a white wire that followed me from the, i guess, conduit. When i got too far away it just disappeared. I could also climb it and swing off of it, it was fun. I fixed the pipe and asked my supervisor what the heck was on my face, by writing down my question of course, but i didn't get an answer. I then realized, how would i eat. Then i felt something wet and weird go into my mouth, it tasted like nothing; i guess this is how i ate from now on. I somehow lived like this, for a month. Installing conduits so i could swing, figuring out how to drink-turns out you don't, and also trying to get it off my face. I also learned how it got up there, it broke its cage and crawled through the vents before getting on top of one of them and sleeping before i woke him up by entering. I hadn't seen this thing before so i went to find another one, as well as a way to get it off. I turned on the portal and stepped inside. I hadn't gone in the portal before and so i was weirded out by how much the portal felt like liquid. I grabbed out my pocket computer and opened the map. I followed it, looking for these things, until i found them in the "sun room". It was the brightest area, and the quietest one. I also found a dead person with one of these on their head, with blood. I tried to pull it off but it stayed on, even if it was probably dead. I guess it was stuck on my head. Also i began to feel a bit light headed. A couple hours later i passed out. I woke up with a Waruit stuck on me as well as no trace of the thing. We decided to call it a Crultae. If you want to get it off, grab a crowbar.
Notes
These are just some notes to refer to if you need to know more :)
Spendeqae (Living Suit): A living being that can heal you from anything. When you feel a squish, that means it's doing something. Either healing you, replacing your mind if you have a fake brain, doing anything. Has 8 grips and a thin arm and hand monitor
Spendacea (Dealing Suit): The original one before it evolved to heal instead of hurt. Has feelings and if you step on it, it will kill you. Has 6 grips and teeth in the front
Mondrode (the family): this is the family name for the Spendeqae and Spendacea, other Mondrode are unknown but what we do know is that they grip to humans.
The Thin Hand and Arm Monitor: it's like a thin piece of rubber except not. It just monitors you so it can squish. It also serves as protection, not a lot, but it does.
The Grips: it's like spikes, but weirder. They don't plunge into skin, more they stick-without glue-to skin. Thin versions are in the H&A Monitor. Although for the back ones they do have small injections to put the orange in.
The Design: like the bean makers from the puzzle game Bean And Nothingness mixed with flesh and some metal like stuff. Freaky
The Blood: it's not the blue stuff, it's the orange stuff. The orange is like the dark-blue substance but way weaker and also helps the creature. Also the dark-blue stuff is like safe inside, so it doesn't leak out.
Sonic: like the H&AM but full body and actually made of rubber.
Spenbeqer: like the Spendeqae but without the arm things. The reason why the name is so different is because there's other stuff to it. you have to use a machine to get it off because of adhesion on the front and it's inside your skin now. Usually used to "save" someone's life. (See Living Suit 2 and Sonic) also it can do other stuff, it has a mind of its own and can be controlled.
You know what, i'll just give them names: spendeq is now called Livut, spendac is now called Gervuit, and the Spenb is now called the Wariut
The Voiders: black slug like creatures that monitor the void and also steal people when they detect a signal that unfortunately the Sonic makes
Craetrqeb (Bear Hugger): got the idea from another dream, this time about a 2d side-scrolling game. You can swing off of "ropes" made by Conduits. The reason why it's called the Bear Hugger because it "hugs" your face. You also don't need to eat, or drink! (Name: Crultae)
Spemgekder: squeezes you to your bare limits. Wraps around your entire torso and is basically mind control. I got this idea while trying to fall asleep and it had to beat just the h&am but only on the top of your chest, which i think it's better so it get's a scientific name. (Name: Squegg)
White Tree Labs: basically Black Mesa if it was worse. The ones who found the Mondrodes
