I guess I just really love Oddworld. I can't believe that I've made so many posts in such a short space of time. Hopefully I'll spend a lot of May on my revision and exams. I'll try and reduce the amount of posting that I'm doing to a more acceptable level.
As for my creativity, it's been pretty good lately. I think it's several years of repressed Slig fandom that have suddenly appeared after about 9 years of denial! Just for you, here's the next bit

"Quick, get him to the operating room... fast!". There was no way I would let my twin die, "Hold on Miro... I can't let you die like this". Miro gave him a smile from the stretcher, "It's okay Meso, I know you did your best". Miro passed out, Meso looked at the Vykker. "Please save him, I'll do anything".
Two weeks later, Meso and Miro are in a laboratory. They both have their eyes closed. Meso could hear breathing, "Miro, is that you?!". Miro smiled, "Yeah, It's me... I can't believe you saved my life". Meso smiled, "Well, I couldn't lose you. You're more than just a twin, you're my friend and hatchmate". Miro smiled, "By the way, where are we?".
Miro and Meso opened their eyes. The light was harsh, "Some kind of laboratory, I think...". Miro rubbed the dust off his mask with his right hand... Meso did the same, but with his left hand. Miro and Meso looked towards each other and could hardly believe the sight before them.
Miro and Meso were closer now then they had ever been. They had been stitched together to form one body, but with both of their heads on a larger, semi-Big Bro chest. Instead of the minotaur leg form, they had the centaur form, to support their large bulky body. Meso looked confused, "Well... I guess we won't have to worry about getting seperated again". Miro raised an eyebrow, "You can say that again... Is there anything that a Vykker wouldn't do?".
It was an hour until the Vykker arrived, "Ah, nice to see you two recovering well". "You joined us together?", they both said at the same time. "Aha, yes... It was the only way to save him". Meso smiled, "Then you did your best, thank you". The Vykker put his arms on their shoulders. "Now, there is something you must do for me".
A few days pass, we walk towards where the Vykker said the rogue Slig was located.
Our codename was Duo, we each had our own ability. Miro could perform what the Vykker called "mind intrusion", which insolves his soul leaving the body and entering the host remotely and Miro's torso and head would become limp and could not be moved by Meso. From there he can perform a lot of things similar to possession... It's only temporary though, so should not be used for long-term tasks. Meso could harness the power of his body to a great extent. Partially due to the centaur model legs and partially due to his improved body strength, he could grip objects with surprising strength. He had just finished choking a Scrab, "This is some grip", he chewed a bit of the meat, giving some to Miro.
Miro smiled, "How long til we reach the rogue Slig?". Meso nodded, "Not long now, we're right near him".
