ulysses c. crab surveys his kingdom. are there rivals, potential mates, scraps to be eaten? seagulls circling hungrily?

build a pile of seashells and climb on top, this will improve our view and also make us look powerful to rivals and potential mates if there are no seashells handy, ask the seagull to bring us some, there's a love

well I'm down, but I'm wondering about breath spray. is that . . . good or bad for a crab? are crabs expected to have stinky breath? is there maybe some rotting seaweed-scented breath spray that might enhance our charisma? |

once, long ago, a sea creature of immeasurable size washed ashore on this beach. It had no pincers. Instead it had long slimy appendages and a bulbous head. Our top crabologists studied the beast, but were unable to figure out how it lived, for it had no protective shell. It took every crab working together to drag the heavy carcass under this protective metal bunker. We have been using it as a food source, but with your gift, we think we have developed the ultimate crab weapon.|

so hmm fellow crab adventure participants, we seem to have some options! they include: (a) fetching some sticks to further impress our new friends (b) taking that tentacle-on-a-stick and trying to scale the mysterious shiny cylinder to see what's inside (c) starting to organize an expedition to hunt or scavenge a giant suckered sea creature I'm down with (c) as a longer-term goal, but what about the others in the interim? maybe we should tell them we're gonna run out and try to get some more sticks, we'll return pretty soon, but we'd like to borrow the tentacle; and then maybe see how quickly-easily we can explore the slick metal object |

we got drunk, we found love, this adventure is starting to shape up! obviously large blunt metal thing is fascinating to us, someone said something about "waving around threateningly" and that sounds like our style however it's not getting us any closer to waking dread cthulhu from his malevolent slumber in r'lyeh so I'm gonna suggest we give the duck a goodbye kiss, and head for the hatch |

Sham bam bamina! posted:remove the stick from the tentacle, shove the knife handle in there for a sick double weapon okay but don't lose the stick, our credibility with the crabmob rests on our stick-gathering abilities I guess scuttling after the king would be pointless, he's moving too fast Scroon posted:We must camouflage ourselves to anti-crab forces don't spot us and hamper our noble quest! sure, blending in makes sense there may be sticks in that jungle, it's true, but somehow I feel ulysses c. crab would be more drawn to the siren song of the sewer |

Scroon posted:Take all the duck clothes from their lockers and throw them in the fountain are you trying to get us killed?? sure, if we could find some liquid heat, we could pour some on the ducks' jocks, now THAT would be funny, but not very nice presumably we can round ourselves up a duck guard uniform, if that's what we want we can also find out the names of the ducks on duty today, always good to know who you're dealing with but mostly I'm curious what sort of stuff is in those lockers. what does a duck carry with him/her day to day that they're not allowed to have on duty?

♫ smokin' in the ducks room ♫ part of me thinks we should take advantage of this time when they're all busy to sneak across the checkpoint the crab in me wants to check out that dumpster, maybe we should try to come back when the ducks are gone? what riches might lie within? but the (tiny) pragmatic part of the crab-brain thinks: Twenty Four posted:I guess maybe go up the stairs behind door number two?

well we're built to scuttle. scuttlin's what we do. losing the costume is a bit unfortunate though. still, I'm very curious to discover nestco's potentially disturbing secrets can we bring part of the duck costume along to act as sort of a parachute/wedge when we reach the other end of the tunnel, so we don't (say) get deposited into some sort of processing unit? |

Sensual Simian posted:nestco sounds...bad, almost as though it should be set ablaze. ah, but our lost love was . . . well not a bird exactly, an image of a bird. but still. there may be at least something redeeming in birdkind. was it not a seagull who built the pile of shells that showed us the way at the beginning of our adventure? I say, at a minimum we should find out what exactly nestco does with these sticks before we consider burning it down on a more practical note, these sticks are precisely what crabville needs to build an arsenal of tentacle-pop weapons . . . are we so sure we'll be able to find more sticks?? now if we were outside of bird town and needed to get in, I might be in favor of building a trojan duck that idea might still have some merit, but I think we need to look around a little before deciding what use to make of these sticks |
