Portals CYOA CH 9
#9 of Portals CYOA
I'm not going to tell you if anything is in the city, but I will confirm there is still life on the planet somewhere.
I also added the STATS page to the end of it as a reminder.
this chapter looks SUPER short, and maybe I should describe scenery more or something, but like, I don't want to make any descisions for you if I don't have to.
I do think however that I might put in a bit of a chance for things, like I should've had like, or there's an X percent chance they'll fall, and if they do there's an X percent chance it'll knock them out, and then use a random number generator to figure it out and such, and I think i'll do something like that with the fertility and such.
If I do do that, would you prefer it if I explain the percentages and such in the text, in the description thing, or if I keep it a secret, because a person doesn't generally know the percent chances and such?
Check self for wounds, admonish self for not taking anything with you to prepare. Snifg and taste the air to see if the place is inhabited, or long abandoned. Use serpent heat sensing to see if you can't pick anything up.
I rub at my forehead, but there's no cuts or scabs or anything. I pat myself down along my arms and such, just incase, but there's only a bit of bruising on my right knee.
The heat is everywhere, even here. The light is a cool light, so it's not making it any hotter here,but i'll probably have to be within sight of someone, or something, before the heatpits would be of much use here.
The city itself still seems empty, no sounds except a stirring of wind off beyond the wall. I doubt anything has lived here in at least a century, there's way too much dust in the streets. If anything is alive in here, it has not left any of the buildings anytime soon, or hasn't done so in this part of the city.
I'm not sure If i should keep going towards that tower in the center, check out the buildings, or portal back to the jungle temple and get some supplies, and maybe even have Sha-Dah-Ruhk make sure I don't have any internal injuries. Maybe I could bring him back one of these moths? I don't know for sure.
STATS:
Sneaking: I have decent ability at sneaking, and my new, overly large and flat feet should help so long as I remember to be silent.
Sensitivity: genitalia are very sensitive because of their newness. this should fade over time, and if i'm lucky within a day or two.
Hearing: Hearing is far better than that of a Human, and able to detect the location of where a sound came from far better than a human could.
Heat-sense: I can detect heat similarly to a snake, though it will take time to get used to and to be able to use it effectively.
Heats: I will eventually go into a heat, during which it'll be really hard not to fuck everyone around me.
gangly: muscles and not much else, because all of my fat got burnt off too keep my feet from getting cut off. muscles aren't as effective due to the lack of fat, and It's hard to get used to having so much less weight, but it being evenly distributed should help.
Dulled Vision: due to both of my alignments being animals with worse eyesight than humans (wolves without color, snakes just being plain abyssmal) my eyesight is deteriorating, though I should be able to handle things like reading and being able to tell where i'm going so long as things aren't too featureless or far away or anything.
The Basics: I have knowledge on the basis of many fields, mostly because the history and science channels are far more interesting than they're given credit for.
Questionable Fertility: due to the recently made and magical nature of my genitalia, it's quite possible i'm infertile, super fertile, or just regularly infertile.
horny devil: Canines are often known for being horny bastards, and I'm no exception. I'm more likely to suffer from lecherous thoughts, and am likely to get turned on by things I shouldn't.
