Poring's adventure: 1. Yellow Rain Coat

"Poring has this. First it starts with the head, not too big and not too small. The head has to be round but not a ball. Then we add hair so Poring can look pretty. Next is the body... I think it is suppose to be like two triangles like that... uhh... magic toy that tells time and is filled with the sand. I cant remember ahhh! Bodies are too hard... where is my coat? Ok, I cant at least stay inside of this. Next Poring needs some arms and fingers. How many fingers humans have again... one, two, three, oh yeah 4! Poring has this... but just in case, I will try and keep them inside of my sleeve. Next we do the hardest part, legs! Human's do not crawl like Poring, so I have to do the walk. I been practicing a lot too. Last time, i made it across a whole street without falling so am a total expert. Since we have boots, I will skip feet today. With that, I should be just about... done."

A ball of slime reached out from out of a yellow rain coat sleeve and hovered over a large broken piece of mirror glass.
"Opps... I forgot the 4 fingers. Poring has this!"
4 "fingers" poked out of the slime ball and latched onto the glass and craned it up like a toy machine. The slime placed the glass in front of her head. Her slime "hair" trembled before being absorbed into the head.
"Girl's do their hair in front of the magic self seeing stone, Poring will practice too."
She moved her other sleeve to the glass, grabbing it with her sleeve instead of her slime "hand."

"Should it be long... or short... wait, i forget. Human's can't control their hair right? Like, it has to move when the wind blows it and it has to not stick to things... I will just keep it short. Less too remember. Man... being human is hard work..."
She settled on a wavy bob cut with clumps of slime acting as sections of the hair and building a rough shape. "Yep... just gonna keep this under my hood. I don't feel like it looks human enough... Am I missing anything else? Oh right. A face, Human's have faces too. Lets see, 2 eyes, a noise... such an ugly body part if you ask me... and a mouth, eyebrows with a smile! FINISH!"

Poring pulled back her hood and examined her features. They moved around her head until she felt they were positioned correctly.
"And I will move my core to the head because that is how humans want to see."

Poring's disguise was complete. Even though all of her body was covered by the coat or it's shadow, she had the shape of a young human girl about 3 feet tall. She wobbled around in her boots, practicing taking steps without dripping slime. Her wobble transitioned into an actual walk and with her arms out to keep balance. Then she lowered her arms, still holding them to the side before moving again.

"Easy peesy. Now its time for Poring's quest with..." her sleeve hovered over her pocket for a second before being thrown into the sky, "THE MONEIES." Sticking out of her sleeve was a ten dollar bill. "While Poring can just eat the paper, Humans use this magic paper to get things far bigger then it. So that is what I will do! No more leftovers from the metal cans tonight, for now we will eat like a Kings! Isn't that right Mr. Bubbles!"

Poring turned to a rock with a smiley face drawn on it. While the dots were as perfect as dots can get, the smile looked as if it was drawn by a 2 year old with a wobbly line that lacked any form of symmetry. A tendril of slime picked the rock up from behind and lifted it into the air.
"Oh yes little girl. Moldy cheese is nice and all but little girls should not be eating things with hairs," the rock bounced as the slime deepened her voice as it was thrown onto Mr. Bubbles.
Then Poring laughed and started her walk to the surface.

"Be careful little girl, nobody likes sewer kids." said the rock as Poring pushed a manhole over from her head. Above her was an empty alley way surround by broken buildings. Boxes and trashed filled the small nook and the only way in was through the path that led to the road.

"Its okay Mr. Bubbles because don't cha know?" Pori responded before giggling.
She covered the manhole and brushed off the dirt from her coat. Then she cradled Mr. Bubbles between her sleeves as if it was some small delicate mammal and started walking out of the shade and into the streets.

"Know what little girl?" questioned the rock while being raised to the slime's face.

"I am not a real girl, Poring am a slime!" The girl and the rock took turns laughing due to sharing the same voice and the girl wobbled into the lights and into a busy street with cars flying across the road.

? what's that girly doing? jeannie noticed a girl stumbling into the street. hey that's dangerous she goes to help the oddly clumsy girl out of the road

Poring stop after hearing a voice yell out. She turned to the direction of the voice just as a car zoomed passed her while blasting their horn. "That... that was a close one... I almost became a splat."
Poring stepped back tripping over her feet and landing on her buttock. *squish* the rock flew out of her hands and into the street, but all Poring was focused on was the funny sound her body made. She giggled before reforming her body underneath her raincoat to fix any issues.

yeah splatings not fun Jeannie is happy the girl was ok, then watches as she turned into a puddle then back into a girl. confused Jeannie picked up her rock she dropped and hands it to her.

you dropped your rock, are you like a space alien or something? that was neat huh what plant does a puddle person come from? is your rock like some kinda magic rock

Jeannie smiles excited as what she thought was just helping a kid cross the street seemed much more interesting.I'm jeannie, should I take you to my leader?
that's what space people usually want when they come to earth

"Finally someone who understood!"

Poring giggled and raised her sleeve, "Mr. Bubbles we made a friend."
She turned to her sleeve and noticed Mr. Bubbles was missing. She turned to see the woman dropping the walk up and drop the rock in her hands. Poring pulled the rock to her chest.

"Mr. Bubbles, you cant run off like that. Your all I have!"

Then chill ran through her core after hearing the word "puddle girl." She lowered her head and saw that ground below her was wet. She broke her disguise while reforming her body despite being so careful.

"Alien... no... uhh... I am a normal girl." She raise her head but kept the woman's head above the rim of her hood, "I just uhh... wet myself." She whimpered while covering her face with her sleeves. She stood up without using her arms and took a step back, away from the woman. "Poring was so scared. I almost lost Mr. Bubbles...."

oh ok then well don't be scared you and Mr.
bubbles are back together.nice to meet you Mr.bubbles she waves to the rock so what might your name be?

-It worked...-
Poring lowered her hands, surprise how easily the woman believed the lie. In fact, she almost felt bad... almost. What was most important was being human. She wouldn't understand.

She looked up and noticed something off about the girl. Her ears were pointy and not circles. However the rest of her looked like a human. She made sure by looking at other people driving by. She turned back down to hide her face and put the rock in her pocket.

"My name is Poring Flan! Mom gave me the first one but i made up the second one because Flan are yummy!" She moved her hands to her stomach and rubbed it, "You think the store sells them, I have a money now!"

Poring pointed to the Mc Donalds on the other side of the road.

jeannie is happy when she mentioned food she liked snacks, she must really like it to be named after themok, nice to met you new friend Poring, hun yeah they might let us go find out.mm yummy

"REALLY!" Poring shouted raising her fist as if she was about to cheer, "Race you there!"

Poring immediately ran out into the middle of the road. Then a deafen honk stunned her. She turned around and saw the metal beast(car) charging at her. She smiled and lowered her head to excepted her faith.

"Well... it was worth a try, sor..."

ok Jeannie runs after huh in the street again hey be careful Jeannie quickly grabs poring and pulls her out of the way of the car.

she picks her up and carries her across the street that was close you really need to be careful. I'd hate to see you get hurt
Jeannie heard wondered if this girl had never seen cars before or something.

she noticed a funny swish sound, huh she didn't notice any water around. you got wait for the sign before you go,
and you really shouldn't stop in the middle. she points to the stop light and crosswalk.

see when the light changes green cars go and red they stop. if it's a hand on the crosswalk sign we stop and go when it's the little walking guy we go. you gotta push the button to change it

she notices a funny smell huh you smell kinda water? oh, are you like from one of them tiny villages where people are fishermen and stuff.

oh yeah if your from way out in the country that'd explain why you don't about city stuff like traffic and stop lights. don't worry Jeannie well help new friend get used to city stuff!

first, let us get those snacks this time Jeannie holds her hand to keep her from running out in front of cars again. and they make there way to Mc Donalds.

Skid marks marked followed the car as it swirled to avoid Poring but was unable to maneuver in time. Smoke filled the road and the smell of burnt rubber filled the air. With the scene covered with white smoke, the man adjusted his car and then sped off.

Poring opened her eyes and saw herself out of the smoke cloud. When she looked down, she noticed her feet were off the ground. Her slime squished around in the raincoat, slowly degrading from her human shape. her boots started to pull away from her body and her body started to gather in the middle of the coat. She turned her head and noticed that Jeannie was carrying her.

"I didn't go splat..." She looked forward, not really processing Jeannie's words until they stopped on the other end of the street.
"I could get... hurt?" Poring questioned.

She had been hit by multiple cars before and never has she been "injured." What worried her was being revealed as a monster.
"Ahh... I forgot," she shouted.

She carefully redistributed her slime to better fit her shape without actually breaking her humanoid shape. "Yes... I could be hurt... uhh... thank you Jeannie!"

Then the woman started explaining the traffic light scheme after putting Poring down. Poring nodded though she did not understand. Why did green me go? Why did people always speed up on the yellow light? More and more questions bubbled in her head. Still she nodded, if only to show she was listening sort of.

Then the woman mentioned something... weird. She claimed Poring smelled like water. Water had no smell, alone... did it? Could humans smell water or... was this girl special? Was she even human?

"Village? No... I am a normal girl. I don't know of Fish men. Are those monsters? Monsters are scary. How can people live there?"

"Out in the country.." Poring repeated those words, looking for the woman meaning. It was not a phrase she heard before but she knew what the words meant. If by "out" she meant "outside," then yes she was right.

"Oh yes, yes. I am from out in the country. Thank you for helping us! Ain't that right Mr. Bubbles!" Poring took out the rock and waved it in the air until Jeannie grabbed her Sleeve and guided Poring to Mc Donalds.

The golden arches towered into the sky spinning that signature M like a beacon for all hungry souls. Poring however, had another problem. Most of her brain power was spent trying to maintain the pressure under Jeannie's grip. While the girl was not aggressive with her hold, Poring was not experience enough to mimic that feeling of holding hands, let alone keeping her hand from being squished.

It was the first time she had made contact with another human in disguise aside from her "Mom" and she knew the woman could feel the constant shifting in the squishiness of her slime arm in the sleeve. Also, since she was so focused on her arm, her walking became sloppy and she nearly tripped a couple times. Still they manage to make it inside the store. Lucky for Poring there were no customers and minimal staff.

A dozen square tables were arranged in the back and a multi color set of tubes fed into a ball pool. One boy in his teens stood at the register, playing on his phone and completely oblivious to everything around him. He did not even greet the two when they walked in.

Leeroy couldn't help himself when it came to the intoxicating aroma of good ol' Mickey D's. The Homeless Chic Renegade, had been wandering the country for weeks now, and couldn't remember the last time he'd indulged in the chemical, life shortening goodness that was McDonalds. He followed his nose, as if in a trance, to the doors, and swung them open with dramatically, spreading his arms and legs as if greeting adoring fans.

"Hellllloooooooooo, Big M!" He sauntered over to the cashier, doing a little twirl as he walked, snagging a fry out of the fingers of a random customer just before they could eat it. He moved the fry along the bottom of his nose, taking a deep breathe and closing his eyes, as if experiencing euphoria, before raising it up, tilting back his head, and dropping it into his mouth.

"mmm mmm MMMM! THAT is what I'm talkin bout!" he says, clapping and rubbing his hands together. He was wearing a pair of fingerless gloves made of cloth, military boots, dark wash jeans that were riddled with holes, and a beat up old varsity jacket that read "Summerdale High, class of 1991", with a faded Pink Floyd t-shirt underneath. His hair, which clearly had not been washed in a while, was tied back by a pink headband, and had formed into long dark dreads of varying lengths.

"I'll tell ya what," he begins, putting his elbows on the counter and leaning forward until he was inches away from the disinterested young cashier.

"I've been traveling around and around..." he begins twirling his index finger to illustrate the concept of "around". "And I have worked up quite the appetite. So I'll have....ohhhh" he squints at the menu tilting his head from side to side. "Let's sayyyy...10 large fries, 2 Whoppers, and a Baja blast." He finishes, grinning at the cashier before standing again.

"We..we don't do Whoppers, that's Burger King. Baja Blasts are Taco Bell, but I guess we gotchu with the fries. That'll be...$21.32." the cashier says, barely looking away from his phone.

Leeroy grins sheepishly and gives a short breathy chuckle. "Well, now... I seem to be lacking the monetary.." he begins, before being cut off.

"No money, no food. NEXT." The cashier says, again not looking up from his phone.

Leeroy nods and laughs, a notably more sinister sound this time, before nodding in acceptance and turning to walk away. He stops, and raises one finger.

"Well, now that I think of it...I do have something..." He says, before snapping his fingers. At this, the trash bins in the restaurant begin to shake and fall, as various pieces of uneaten food, paper, and other organic materials slither, role, and shake their way to the center of the restaurant, and force themselves into the shape of a gigantic snake. Leeroy rests his hand on the large head of this trash-snake, and it hisses at the cashier revealing teeth of chicken bone and broken plastic.

"I'm thinking, this time it's on the house. Wouldn't you agree, young man?" Leeroy asks the cashier, a sinister but comical note in his tone.

your welcome, huh yeah fish monsters would be scary, but I meant guys that catch fish, but I suppose there might be monster fish men like in the creature from the black lagoon out there. I like that movie have you seen it? Jeannie then noticed the trash snake and odd man in front of them.

from what she heard he had no money, so was he doing a magic trick for his food? huh well her and poring couldn't get their food with him making a mess.

huh was he like a homeless guy or something? his clothes were dirty and he smelled funny. huh, he'll scare the kiddies that might be there and maybe her new friend if he keeps this up.

she goes over and taps him on the shoulder. hey Mr. wizard I can pay for you if you want no need to put a curse on Mcdonalds or whatever you are doing.
huh seems like making money of the burgers with your magic would be easier

Suddenly a homeless human walked into the establishment greeting this Big M person. Poring looked around and could not find anyone by that name. Before she could further question name, the human snatched a piece of food from another human! Such an horrible act was something even she could understand well. Her eyes narrowed, her slime jaw clenched, the only thing holding her back was the reward of food if she could make it to the register undiscovered. At least she would get to eat before the man.

However the man just jumped to the front of the line and started his harassment of the aloof employee. Her slime stiffed as she fought the urge to break the disguise. Humans could be rude sometimes, but this guy was pushing it. She watched as her bubbles surrounded her core and boiled to the top of her head. "Its okay... just have to be... good."

With laugh, all the trash swarmed together to create a giant trash snake. Everyone panic, running out the restaurant all except for 4. Jeannie walked over to the man for a pacifist approach while he terrorize the cashier with the trash snake. Poring's last straw was broken.

Her her slime was bubbling with fury and her stomach let out a loud roar. "Poring, was nice!"

Blue slime fell to the floor covering her boots. Her arms fell to her sides as the slime left them and receded to her body. She glided across the floor leaving a film of slime behind her. "Poring had monies and wanted to eat good but you, smelly man, had to ruin it with your magics. Poring is not HAPPY!"

Her stomach growled even louder as her core burned off the last of her stored calories to make more slime and increase her mass. Now the rain coat was standing 6 feet in the air over a pile of slime. "Poring just wants to eat... Pori is hungry. So Man will..." Her voice started to bubble as her stomach rumbled again. A tendril of slime popped open her coat and shot at the man grabbing his shoulder. "LEAVE! BEFORE PORI MAKES YOU SPLAT!"

what? jeannie watched confused as her friend turned into slimeumm are you ok pori? your all squishy and stuff huh Jeannie wondered why she always seemed to get involved in odd stuff, why did a grumpy wizard have to go to the same Mcdonalds as her. and why is the little girl she was helping some kinda slimy creature, huh she was hungry too and didn't want the MacDonalds blown up. calming her interesting friend down seemed like a good idea to her

calm down pori we can still get food, no need to get upset
