Well well well, what's with the Gimp gear? And that knife! Do you know how to even use that without cutting your own trunk? Or is Eggluk in charge?

haha cockroach goes brrrrrrrrrrr

Hello Lyluk, the pervert spirits have returned.

Eggluk! Are you the fabled boyluk of legend, destined to...uh....be male and stuff?

What brave little luks, to survive all this and for so long. Give each other a hug, you deserve it!

Let's hope they don't die from getting grazed by a rusty nail on their first move.

uhhh, hold on, let me try something...

>Begraluk: Appear/Reveal yourself/Approach the bitluk

Priorities! Eat your burgers before embarking on a new journey! You will need the energy

As you do that, could you tell us more about this fabled Begraluk? What makes her so fabled?

"Yeah, we haven't eaten in days, roach burgers are gross but you make do with what you get. Anyways, begraluk is the most wise and intelligent of all known lyluks, if anyone knows how to fix this it would be her, but we've been searching for who knows how long and we haven't found her, we're starting think she died in the peachalypse. the world is doomed if she did. Ah for goodness sakes! Did that just... Why the spit and not the cooked roach meat? Aw, whatever..."

If we're going to get robbed this early, we should see if you still have any of your belongings left.

I believe that chasing after the legendary Begraluk would be foolish without a bigger party! As capable as you two might have become, you will need new allies!

Perhaps there are some mutantluks out there? Lyluks that have adapted to this new harsh world!

Finish those roachburgers before you leave. You will need strength for your journey. Also, take that ribbon, strong shittiness aura coming from this one.

Draw a smiley face on the ribbon, maybe some hearts! So it helps with morale :D

what a beautiful ribbon
Perhaps it belonged to someone just as beautiful?
*gasp* could this be...
Begraluk's ribbon??!

Wait, maybe the missing Luks went to our realm.
IS THERE ANY LYLUKS WITH US PERVERT SPIRITS?

wear the cute ribbon around your neck, it's very fashionable

If we walk left long enough we'll eventually get around to right, that's how it works, so let's go on a leftist adventure!

Isn't the fire a bit close to the walls?

Go to the right, there may be anything these bugs may have nabbed from other places. And who knows, maybe the trail of dead bug meat that one stole will lead us to a nice passageway below.

>>1058323

Go down. Can't see new horizons by looping in a direction.

we must uncover the source of the ribbon as soon as possible, what if it really came from Begraluk and she needs our help?

(The walls are just metal sheets, it's fine but don't touch them.)

Use your trunk to roll over some rocks to clog the bug holes with! Make sure to time it right though, when the bugs are down

Say hello to the bugs, maybe they can understand you.

whoa, his swaying is mesmerizing. sway along with him, a dance will make you feel good.

Offer them a song! A talented lyluk such as yourself should have no trouble singing Dvar - Hishmaliin

Introduce them to the wonders of condiments by letting have a taste of ketchup.
Maybe Lyluks and them can strike a deal, they seem good at earth stuff.

I concur, though maybe we should ask if they've seen a ribbon like this one anywhere else.

Yeah I saw it flutter away, it came from the nest down below, I hear the boss got someone tied up real good and demanding a ransom of a months supply of syrup for her. If you want to know anything else you'll need to get me some of that syrup yourself."

Is burger syrup okay?

When someone gets killed or captured for an incredibly dumb reason they were probably a shitty lyluk. So let's find that syrup and free her from there.

i'd say attempt to seduce them to be let in, if that fails lets ask if they would know some way to find a months worth of syrup

It is time for adventures again! Head in there like you own the place, hold them all hostage and begin executing them until they let Begraluk go!

Cute display by the way

Get to the lyluk, then we can explore the nest with more manpower (lukpower?) on our side

Since we lack syrup we really only have one option, Bitluk! You must throw Eggluk down as has as you can, this will make her bounce all over the place!

With like, a *ton* of luck she will build enough momentum and then smash into the spear wielding bug and obliterate him! Just make sure to duck, just in case

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?

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 >:)

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.

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.

(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?)

(Eggluk gestures in the most history like way she can imagine)
"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

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