Come to think of it, you have no idea why your SPACE SUIT has POCKETS...

>Yes, dig through the trash. If nothing usefull is found, empty it and wield it accordingly. Or use it as some fancy HEADGEAR

> No. Why dig when you can overturn the TRASH CAN.

You somewhat grudgingly give in to your baser instincts and overturn the PRIMITIVE ALTAR.

Some ASSORTED FILTH flows out sickeningly. You bend in for a closer examination.

> Pick up PIECE OF PAPER

That paper looks interesting. You extricate it from the ASSORTED FILTH and give it a gander.

It appears to be a FOLDED MISSIVE. One side contains alien text and photographs printed in a red ink and some sticky pink substance, and it appears that someone scrawled an INDECIPHERABLE ALIEN MESSAGE on the MISSIVE's back.
You carefully fold up the note and deposit it in the second pocket of your SPACE SUIT.

Pick up toy

You rescue the poor little BARBARIAN DOLL from the ASSORTED FILTH.

You have reached the Equip Limit of your SKINCLENCH FACTOR. If you attempt to carry anything more, you will drop something. Unless you wear it on your head, I guess, in which case gravity and friction do the work for you and no SKINCLENCHing is required.

Is that a dead plant? Does xenobotany work on dead things? Let's find out.

You make a XENOBOTANY Skill Check on the BLOSSOM.

SUCCESS! This WITHERED FRIENDSHIP BLOSSOM is on the verge of DECAY. It bears some subtle differences from Nigel's FRIENDSHIP BLOSSOM, but seems to be of the same species.

Use ORANGE on TOY to color it.

You decide that the neglected BARBARIAN DOLL looks quite sad and filthy. You decide to enhance it with your ORANGE.

The power of ORANGE has merged with your BARBARIAN DOLL to create an adorable CITRUS-HELMETED STAINED BARBARIAN DOLL. You are quite pleased.

Since it would clearly require an explanation that might take time and effor away from the comic itself, I'll refrain from asking how Bob cut the Orange.

:P

:P

Well, um, obviously he pulled it apart with his SKINCLENCHing....

...and it was a clean cut because this is a strange alien hybrid of a normal ORANGE that has been bred for easier peeling...

...yeah.
*shifty eyes*

My, we certainly enjoy playing in filth, don't we?

You have acquired an ORANGE YARMULKA. You have equipped the WITHERED FRIENDSHIP BLOSSOM and the HELMETED BARBARIAN DOLL. You think you've acquired everything that could possibly be useful in this alleyway, and you can't carry any more anyway.

You suddenly hear some bestial growling behind you!

You peer through the CRUDE BARRIER.

A strange red BEAST-OF-BURDEN is growling softly to itself. It does not appear to have noticed you.

You throw the DOLL mightily!

The BARBARIAN DOLL catches the top of the CRUDE BARRIER and loses its helmet. A mysterious, FLUFFY WHITE SUBSTANCE bursts forth from the DOLL's innards.

The red BEAST-OF-BURDEN's growling softens to a quiet purr.

Nice GIF, man! :O

Thanks! It took forever* to make (as evidenced by my response time). I don't know how Mr. Hussie does it.

*By "forever" I merely mean more than an hour. I never want to draw that doll again, lol

Seriously. I dunno how he finds the time. xD

I've made two gifs and god, they both took waaaaaay too long to make. But that might just have to do with my lack of artistic skills and GIMP/Photoshop knowledge. xD

You examine the FLUFFY WHITE SUBSTANCE.

It seems to be infested with HIDEOUS SPACE LARVAE. Are you sure you want to take it? Y/N

There we go; back to my usual quality of GIFs. :B

> Why just stop at taking the FLUFFY WHITE SUBSTANCE with HIDEOUS SPACE LARVAE?! Take the FLUFFY WHITE SUBSTANCE with HIDEOUS SPACE LARVAE and equipped it as your new DEADLY WEAPON! Surely for it to be in the PRIMITIVE ALTAR along with ASSORTED FILTH, it must be either really important or unwanted by the NATIVES. Either way, it's a win!

Yes! These HIDEOUS SPACE LARVAE will be the perfect weapon for warding off the SAVAGES! You will be like unto a maggoty god!

SpoilerShow

On second thought, the FLUFFY WHITE SUBSTANCE and HIDEOUS SPACE LARVAE are too crumbly to make an effective weapon; it would fall apart if you tried to pick it up.

>Put it on your head to save space.

You combine the LARVAE with your ORANGE YARMULKA to accentuate your headwear.

You are looking quite dapper!

You look back through the CRUDE BARRIER.

You think you see something moving beneath the BEAST-OF-BURDEN's semi-transparent carapace...

You have been spotted by the BEAST-OF-BURDEN.
