Day 153: PIT FIGHT!

Parents are home again from rome, and i forgot to move Shoggoth out of that room. It made me worry a little when i thought of it, but all they did is turn off the lamp. pfft.










It's black VS white ladies and gentlemen, and no, not PEOPLE.

Our arena is a semi-internet famous plastic measurement cup, filled with rotting hell and everything that comes with it, And what is this dark stain on the electrified steel wire? Well people, i don't know either! (Yes, i know, electrolysis.) But it is of vital importance in our arena!

and our pit fighters of the day;

The black sludge like fungi is in the minority, and the black sludge seems to "melt" thanks to the heating lamp (at the bottom of the picture) which looks kind of neat.
The texture of the sludge also looks kind of freaky, and i haven't seen something like this in either Kweeksel or Shoggoth before.

The white "light" fungi however is starting to look like crap from under a microscope, it grows fast, it looks sweet, and well most important of all; It's fuzzy-fungi.
And it seems that it can also absorb other colored stuff, near the piece of bread. (the half brown half white fungi)

Yesterday we already laid down the first trap, The rift, but it seems that both our competitors don't really care about traps and are starting to grow over it. The black sludge has the majority in the area of "the rift", but a tiny amount of White light soldiers are making their final stand at the edges of the "the rift."

Our electricity traps running on a 9V battery are temporary disabled until we have a new power source though. Should be tomorrow.

And no, the brown 'white light' fungi pit fighters do not count as a seperate team yet, their color just changed a bit thanks to the melting bread.

WHO WILL BE THE GLORIOUS WINNER OF THIS ARENA FIGHT? LETS FIND OUT. LET THE GAMES, BEGIN!

Day 152: Rip and tear

The grand canyon of dehydration is making it's comeback, and i'm not going to throw in something wet right now so expect it to grow. I will from now on refer to it as "the rift."

In one of the last comments someone asked if i could take a picture without flash, but due the lighting of that room it looked exactly the same. The white fuzzy fungi also absorbs ligth from outside and from the lamp, so they we're just a little bit less white and more tan colored.

The battery will be empty in a few hours, and i won't have a replacement until tomorrow so meh. And I just noticed that there is another opening near the tan fungi, with a small liquid pool in it. So much for dehydration.

It seems that instead of getting covered in the black fungi, the light reflecting fungi is today's biggest population instead. And that piece of bread still hasn't begun to mold yet, instead it's still melting down into this dark brown goo.

The black sludge in the middle seems to be covered with bubble like balls, and i'd nearly want to poke it just to see if it starts moving and spews acid into my face or something, because it's something i haven't seen before yet.

Day 151: Shocking.

Well now that 50% of that shitstorm is over, i finally went into the garden to check up my second lovechild Eden.










Salami and crap too salty? No u!
Now this looks like a delicious pile of shit, you can barely recognize the second piece of meat, and that apple won't be an apple for any longer either.
And the white puss coming out of that little tomato? jesus christ. It's growing mushroom shaped.

One thing that i specially love about this is that nearly every color that Shoggoth has been is present in this mess right now. And ofcourse, the fact that it's growing like i want it to grow, and not becoming a pot of slime.

Speaking of not becoming a pot of slime;


"I need lightning to make my man of mold aliiiiive!"





The first thing that really caught my attention was ofcourse the colour change to grimdark gray, and how on camera most of it catches/reflects the light of the flash. The tan colored part also looks kind of sweet, though it will be overgrown with gray fungi in a small matter of time.

But, inspecting the picture a bit more...
White bits of fungi are growing on the upper steel wire (The + charged part.) but not on the other side. This is probally due to the location difference, but it still looks a bit odd.
It could be just coincidence, but i don't see why fungi would need to grow on electrified steel. (And yes, i checked if the battery still had some charge. I'll need to replace it in ~2 days)

The smell has also become well... the bad smell is gone again. Tomorrow i won't be home alone anymore, but i'm going to try to keep it at this spot, it's perfect; Electric socket for the lamp, window for fresh air and bad smell removal next to it, and the room heating conviently placed directly below Shoggoth.

Day 150: Things got in the way.

Sorry can't really update right now, lotsa problems.

well.

Adsense account deactivated. (And they don't give a single clue why either.)
"Well i wasn't planning on keeping it on anyway, it didn-"
All earned money will be given back to adword publishers.

Well shit. That ruins my day. Regular update coming in an hour or two...

Day 149: God bless Thomas Edison.

Did i ever tell you how much i love lamps?

Just look at this man, light reflecting fungi and these strange chainmail/worm like formations everywhere, adding to that the fact there are still gas bubbles coming out, and well, wasn't this a puddle of rainwater yesterday?










Oh shit that gas bubble leak is staring at you.
Funny how those rings/strings of fungi are almost everywhere, but for some reason they do change colors all over the place. And that bread is kind of.. melting. Just like that white pill that i threw in a week ago; Speaking of which, thats the bright thing next to the bubble "eye".
The strange bug corpse in the upper right corner seems to be becoming Charlie 2.

I don't know if electricity helps, or the temperature (probally the second though if i'd be able to think in common sense.) But you got to admit, the results are sweet so far.

...Which made me check the batteries, and according to the charging device there's still power left in the battery just less than yesterday. So electric circuit: succesful.

I did check Eden, but there wasn't much to write about so i'll leave that alone for today.

EDIT 1:









See that stuff between the fungi and bread, near the electrified steel wire? What the hell? Is it a bubble or..?

Day 148: Welcome home, you dirty bastard.

I woke up, looked outside;
Storm.
Shit.

Went into the garden and one of the worst things that could happen happened; The lid of Shoggoth was thrown of by the wind. Shoggoth's container was almost fully filled with rain water. And from experience with Kweeksel and that failed bottle i can tell that a large amount of liquid is very bad for growth, so i had to dump most of it... Which probally includes a million bacteria or something.










Though you can still recognize the old "landmarks", it still looks... ruined. But he'll recover. And see that in the bottom left corner? That looks like slime out of a horror movie man. I added some bread after taking tis picture which will soak up a bit of the fluids.

So basicly it's a deja vu moment;
Shoggoth gets damaged by outside weather -> Shoggoth goes back home.










At first i kept him at this place, i mean, it's where the Shoggies and such started to appear, but i decided to go back further, to where it all started;










It's like the begin all over again.
I hope the lamp will help a bit with temperature, and otherwise i'm going to get that heating device again, got to pump up that electric bill!

Wait you know what? Now that it's already damaged by weather hazard, let's add another hazardous element.










1.21 Gigawatts is now running through Shoggoth. (Well, a standard 9V battery that is) I doubt it will do anything, but screw it, experimentation time fuck yes.

And yes, Eden was safe from most of the rain, only a little amount came in which will only help the growth instead. So Eden didn't have much new stuff to talk about. And i still haven't refilled the bottle or my new tiny glass jar.
