She will build up enough kinetic energy to peirce even the toughest centipede armor, amd/or explode

>>1059562
we don't have to free her right away, for now talking will be enough, just to confirm who it is. We can always quest to free her afterwards!
Though i'm less certain it's a begraluk now, since she wouldn't possibly break the laws like this would she? But it's still a luk and we should help her.

Let's go to the library first, we don't even know what this place's currency is and we may find anything that may help swaying the centipedes to let us in.

Maybe we can ask advice from that grateful juice junkie?

:bitlukico: (Bitluk begins to spin, building up momentum for her deadly attack)
"What are you doing? Is that thing your child? Are you playing with it?"
"Eggluk! GO!"
(Eggluk impacts the head capsule of the bug, knocking her out instantly)

"Hey, do you know the way to the library? Or where the other lyluk is being held?"
"Library is to the left, detention center to the right." *lick lick*
(Which way bitluk?)

detention center sounds scary but its time to save friends!

Before we leave make sure to thank the other bug for the information and for not freaking out about what you just did

And I also vote for detention center! We can go to the library with Begraluk afterwards, she will make much better use of the information withing!

Be a naughty luk and loot the bug before it wakes up >:)

The only thing the guard had on her was the spear. Bitluk takes it cause it's probably better than her knife.
"Thanks for not raising the alarm or anything."
"fucking prick got what she deserved. cocksucking n-"
(bitluk quickly runs away to spare eggluk from hearing such nasty sailor speak)
____________________________________________
(After going down a slimy wet hall bitluk arrives in an expansive chamber.)
"Hello? Do you have business here?"
(Eggluk doesn't want to hurt someone again, how are you going to convince the jailer to release the lyluk?)

Ask if the jailer is hungry, we have some foods in our inventory, don't we?

Tell the jailer that you are here to replace her, direct order from the queen!

Greet politely, and ask its name. You should also ask what's up with the egg next to the lyluk, or why they put her in one in the first place.

"My name is Karen, can I help you with something?"
(Bitluk remembers the egg next to the lyluk pod, thats the egg that once graced our inventory! But whats it doing here? Did the lyluk have it on her? But that would mean that they had access to your personal LYLUK INVENTORY DIMENSION. Could it be?)
"Whats with the egg? That yours?"
"No, that one came in with the trespasser. I'm single. *wink*"
>>1060441
"Oh thank you, I'm actually starved right now. I've never had anything like this before but it's good! What do you call it?"
"Goodness! You've never heard of burgers? My dear you've been missing out."
(Karen is now appreciative of you)
>>1060442
"... Did you really expect me to believe that? You don't even have an exoskeleton! Whats going on here?"
(Karen is now suspicious and confused)

Quickly tell Karen that the replacement thing was just a funny haha joke!

And also comment on her voluptuous figure *wink* *wink*

>>1060444
Pervert spirits, focus!
We can always hit on the big bug wife later!
Tell her the truth, that you're here to find your friends with a shape similar to yours.

>>1060447
We can't hit on the bug wife... unu
We're *spirits*, we don't have forms or bodies anymore.. "us" hitting on her would just be seen as bitluk or eggluk hitting on her since she can't see us. (also are they even of age to hit on people???)

>>1060445
I concur! The guard thing was a subtle joke about signs and rhymes, but it got lost in translation in the Undecipherable Language of The Lyluks.

But yes, we are here to retrieve the long-trunked thing that trespassed the hive. We reassure you that whatever slights it may have caused were not done with bad intentions in mind, lyluks are simply a bit foolish sometimes.

(Bitluk laughs nervously as she says that was just a funny joke haha)
"... Uh huh. So what are you actually here for?"
"We're here to release our friend you have locked up here. She's shaped just like us."
"Oh yes, I see the resemblance. Well, I assume you have the syrup to pay bail yes?"
(Ahhh! Again with the bail! Where are we going to get so much syrup in such short notice? Or is there another way?)

Do a silly little dance to convince Karen to release the lyluk

Does she accept alternative currencies? Favors? She's not going anywhere so we can leave to do any requests and come back. Keep the egg though, it looks like it wants to be with her.

"Oh hoh? Are you challenging me? I'll have you know that just because I'm big doesn't mean I can't bogey with the wogey."
(Karen is feeling competitive)
>>1060455
"Alternative currencies? What do you think this is? We're an advanced society, we have one legal tender. 1! Pay us in it or get lost!"
(Karen is getting annoyed)
"Well, can we at least take the egg she had on her? We'll keep her personal property safe."
"Sure, I suppose you can collect her belongings for her."
(You have acquired egg, again)

Ask Eggluk if she knows anything about the Egg! If nothing else we could save it for next time you are hungry at least

Off we go then, should check the library first though.

>>1060460
Well girls, i think we have our First (Side-)Quest!
*ahem*
-Rescue the criminal luk
-Acquire enough syrup to free the jailed luk

Guess there's nothing to do now but to leave for now...
at the very least the luks silhouette doesn't appear to be a begraluk.
(actually... it looks kinda like a meanluk??)
Ask Karen if you're allowed to take a closer look at the prisoner (look closer at the prison cocoon to see if you can see any more detail)

"Why would she? Remember, we found it in the sewer of the extermination camp. You think eggluk knows all about eggs just because her name is eggluk? Ignorant spirits."
>>1060463
"Hello traveler! Welcome to the wonderous world of literature. What are you looking for today? Cicovsky? Crickens?"
(This is a bad place for a lyluk to be as we don't know how to read.)

Eat the yummy books! Assimilate their brain-smartening nutrients!

Ask the librarian if she knows a way to get lots of syrup quick

Also if she has any coloring books

Ask her if she has any books for beginners, if not we can at least look for a drawing book for bitluk.

"Do you have anything for beginners? I don't know how to read. A coloring book would be good too."
"Oh boy, a budding dilettante. Then let me be your guide on the path to learning the invaluable skill of literacy. Sadly we don't have coloring books here, only reading books. Here, have this one about a very hungry caterpillar, with this as your starting point may you bloom into a beautifu-"

(Bitluk puts the book in her mouth and starts chewing, absorbing the knowledge hidden within)
"WHAT ARE YOU DOING!? THATS NOT READING! YOU'RE RUINING IT! THESE BOOKS ARE EACH ONE OF A KIND ARTIFACTS!!! STOOOOOOOOOOOOP!"
(Bitluk has gained the KNOWLEDGE OF METAMORPHISIS)

Bit,luk: Display KNOWLEDGE OF METAMORPHOSIS

Impress the bug with your newfound power, though we must make haste and apply this shapeshifting to our quest ahead

Eggluk while Bitluk keeps her distracted you try to sneak around and steal a random book!

(Bitluk accesses the newly acquired knowledge from the book. The KNOWLEDGE OF METAMORPHISIS! You now know that if you can consume enough stuff you ascend to a greater form! But the content of your consumption will dictate what kind of ascension you achieve.)
>>1061101
(Eggluk steals a random book from the top of one of the piles. She can't read it to know what it's about.)
"Oh my goodness, You've... You've taken the information within yourself, eating the books will... No! That'll make them unreadable to anyone else! STOP BEING SELFISH AND GAIN THEIR KNOWLEDGE THE HARD WAY LIKE EVERYONE ELSE!"

Consume the Librarian to attain infinite knowledge

She doesn't seem capable of defending herself with those stubby legs and immovable fat

Consume all of the books! It's not like the bug
can stop you >:)

Surely one of them has the knowledge needed to find Begra, you just have to sort them through trial by error!

Remember not to aggravate the whole hive, we are not indestructible! Better change your form into a bug if any guards start coming and get out of here soon!

(Bitluk goes mad for more knowledge, she can't decide whether to eat more books or to eat the librarian and skip the middle man)
"AHHHHHHHHH! Guards help! Someone please! Both me and the Library are in danger!!!"
"Well looky here. So this is where you ended up. Taking out one of my eyes wasn't good enough for you and now you have to rob our library too? Looks like all you weird trunked things are the same. You're going away for a long time. And don't worry, we'll take care of you're... child? while you're serving out your sentence."
(Oh no! Bitluk is captured and eggluk has to go to SCHOOL!)
>>1061105
(Bitluk tries to use the POWER OF METAMORPHOSIS to change into a bug but changing into bugluk requires the mass consumption of... something! The METAMORPHOSIS fails!)
"Come on now, give up, don't make this any harder than it has to be. You're surrounded."

Threaten to summon the powers of the Old ones if they try to lay their grubby hands on either of you!

Push the librarian like a wrecking ball into the guards!

What have you guys done! You're supposed to be helping bitluk, not be a bad influence on her highly impressionable mind!!
Ohhh, the lylanity!!!

(Your desperate pleas for someone to come save you fall on deaf ears, all the old ones and meanluks are dead, the guards get you before you can get the librarian out of the her harness. You have been captured just like the other lyluk.)
(YOU ARE NOW EGGLUK)
"Alright little round girl, this is where you'll be staying while your momma serves out her sentence. I hope you get along with everyone else."
"Oh, I'm sure she'll get along fine with our swarm. Unfortunately all the seats are taken but we'll find a really round one just for you~"
"YOU. FOOD. GIVE. FOOD. FOOD. YOU. GIVE. YOU. GIVE. FOOD."
"Uh oh, looks like someone's hungry. What about you little one? Do you want some syrup?"
(Eggluk wants to be back with bitluk)

Thank god for the lyluk pocket dimension. We should make amends with our bunkmates, maybe hand them some rare exotic cheese?

it says class is in session, lyluk should ask about history of that bug so maybe lyluk will have more information to use to make her next decisions regarding her adventure.

Feed the bugs some ketchup, bugs love ketchup.
And listen up in class, maybe they'll teach you something that'll let you free your fellow luks.

>Bug School: Be both educational and fun unlike the unbearably boring schools from before the apocalypse

(In order to get in the good graces with those who she'll be staying with, eggluk gives one the last of the ketchup which it will not give back. To the next she gives the last of the cheese, it takes one bite and drops the cheese to the floor, no longer moving. Guess they don't like cheese?)

"Okay, thats an interesting topic. So our civilization was found by the first queen after the pechomet fell and granted her intelligence. With her incredibly fecundity her and her children subjugated all the other bugs and created a hive to conquer and civilize the empty wastes! We are still ruled by that queen to this day, indeed all the grubs here are her children. I bet you didn't know that little one!"
*Bobs in place to feign interest*
"Oh, you're so cute! I could just eat you up right-"
"HURT. HURT. HURT. HURT."
"Oh no! You poor thing, did that cheese not agree with you? Lets go get that squeezed out before you pop."
(The big bug leaves eggluk alone with the grubs)

RE-acquire the CHEESE while you wait for the big bug who tells all the rules to come back

No don't wait! This is the perfect chance to sneak away, everyone knows Eggluk is worldwide famous for her sneaking skills! Bitluk was holding her back, let's bounce into some other room

>>1061524
Sneak out! Bring the cheese with you. Maybe you can give other bugs indigestion if they block you...
