Oh.
This... is not what I was expecting.
In a somewhat fancy living room, I can see...
For what I can only describe by similarity.
A weird frog.
The frog's body is normal, nothing different from a usual frog.
But every time the frog opens its mouth...
"REEEEEEEEEEE".
A glaringly loud screech is made, nearly making me take a double take on my newly gained knowledge on just how loud a frog can be.
But the result is the same.
This is not a normal level of noise any frog can make by normal means.
Hmm... then what would happen if I were to approach it?
At first when I came into the house, I thought I would be facing some kind of beast or object of immense terror.
But now...
While yes, terror of going deaf by noise is real. The real danger doesn't look so dangerous after all.
Well then.
Let's try it.
It should not be too hard right?
Ah, yes.
"REEEEEEEEEE".
The frog noticed me and... just stayed there.
Huh.
What happens if I approach it some more.
"REEEEEEEEE".
Oh, it backed away.
But, why?
Hmm...
Try to get closer then.
"REEEEEEEEE".
Ah, I see.
The frog is being assimilated.
The black void of corruption I spread in my original form seems to corrupt or assimilate it. The closer I am the harder it is for the frog to resist.
But I am so far away already from it, just the tiny hint of me seems to greatly affect it.
Well then, I have two choices before me.
One, greatly restrain myself until my presence does not affect anything in this world.
Or.
Two, double down and do the 'mess around and find out' to the frog.
Hmm...
Let's get closer.
"REEEEEE...!!!"
Ah, well... I wasn't expecting that.
The frog... melted.
"...!!!"
But to be fair, I wasn't expecting much at all from the first place. So, any reaction is a new reaction to me.
"...!!!"
So... what do I do with this squirming black puddle of corruption?
Can I erase it?
Oh.
"..."
Yes, yes, I can.
The squirming black puddle of ooze is now silent and still. Slowly disappearing right before my eyes.
Okay, while that was fun and all.
I think it is time for me to go back to exploring the rest of the outskirts of this town.
...
"AHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Experimental subject number 147.
"AHHHHHHHHH!!!"
Outward visual body signs are slowly becoming unstable.
"AHHH...!!!"
The rapid spread of black assimilation corruption has gone past the point of equilibrium in its body.
"...!!!"
Subject final results... Failure.
"...!!!"
Termination.
"..."
Well then, there goes that experiment.
That black and white face that looks like it is trolling someone was really annoying to look at. But the cries it made afterword's made up for it.
And it also gave me some much more valuable experimental assimilation corruption experience!
I feel that my goal of reaching equilibrium with these 'things' in the fog will succeed soon in the following experiments! After that, I can slowly expose myself to these things and see what they originally do.
