Entry #A-1: "A" [Video/Action] [Shepherd's Haven]

[numberedshepherd]

[Lazarus checks in looking thoroughly displeased. He's standing in the largest building in Shepherd's Haven, most commonly used for forums and meetings. Today, he's surrounded by fabulous, artistic and delectable patries and sweets. Some are on the tables, set out as if for a banquet, but others are on the floor or in odd, unexected places, like on chairs and sticking to the walls.]

It's the one-year anniversary of our move to Shepherd's Haven. I was going to tell you that in spite of the slime, you're all still welcome to come celebrate and eat some of the food prepared for the occasion in the town hall. You know, in a valiant effort to maintain some semblance of community and normalcy, and to reject sensationalist panic and obsession.

[A green blob drops onto his shoulder. He brushes it off with clear distaste, but from the time he touches it to the time it lands on the floor, it transforms into a platter of cream puffs that land with a resounding clatter.]

...disregard that. If you do decide to come, don't eat anything until you confirm with me that it isn't slime. Right now, that's everything over here.

[He turns the feed over so it's in view of a far less enticing display of healthier and plainer options. Much of it was probably canned or frozen previously.]

[Lazarus is frustrated and avoiding touching any more green blobs, since by this point he thinks he has a pretty good idea of what kind of outcome that'll have.]

You're right. I guess we should throw it away before someone mistakenly eats any.

[Which will be hard, considering it looks delicious.]

[Rakka hardly had the chance to avoid touching them to begin with. Like him, she was growing more concerned about what would happen if she touched it then the stains that came from tripping and falling onto one of the big ones.

Those were still a largely annoying problem though.]

Yeah... [She moves over to where some of the food was set up, poking at a plate. It all looked so yummy... No! It won't catch her like this!]

I-I mean. Maybe some of this is actually slime?

[numberedshepherd]

[Lazarus takes the opportunity to break a piece of poundcake in half, holding the pieces so that Rakka can see them.]

I haven't found any actual slime on or in anything I've touched. Whatever happens when Numbered touch them eliminates any trace. That being said, I still wouldn't actually eat any of this... but it's only because I know what it looked like before I touched it.

[Into the garbage bag goes the pieces of poundcake.]

What has happened when you've touched them? Anything similar or specific?
