Blind Stories from the depths and deaths of oddworld - A Collection of Shorts

Lazy Day-

Cark looked down focusing on the reflection of his face cast in the puddle, he touched his mouth with his gentle fingers, his mouth had been completely stitched shut, one of the few successes, he was just happy that he didn’t have his eyes stitched to, he was forgotten and no one remembered him that’s how it had been for as long as he remembered, no one used his walkway anymore anyway, not even the passing fleech, how he wished for one to come and put him out of his misery, every time he worked up the courage to move to another path he simply looked at a suppression orb and it fizzed out of him, in the half light that he had so accustomed his eyes to, he saw a figure stalk towards him, he looked eagerly at it and raised his arm to a wave dropping the soulstorm bottle that had failed to lift him.

The creature had red eyes or eye from what it looked like and it glowed, it did not raise its arm back and Cark’s smile faded away like his dreams, the slig pushed its body into the dim light cast by a broken lamp, it turned from Cark and swayed his head before slipping his baton from its holster, Cark still did not no what was going to happen, he was happy for the strange creatures company, Cark tried to speak before remembering his curse of lost speech, what he did do was make a strange muffled hum, he advanced towards the slig who by now had his baton ready, he walked forward and smashed a blow across Cark’s face knocking him to the floor a sensation ripped through his body much like when he stubbed his bare toes only it was stronger, Cark winced and gripped his face, a red stream slowly trickled over his hands, he stumbled to his feet and tried to run but the slig caught him over the legs and sent him reeling, Cark landed hard and stretched his arm towards the slig, looking for sympathy, he saw no remorse, the slig yanked his arm up and continued the beating, eventually Cark grew tired and his body lazed itself of life, he dropped to the floor, the stitches had been beaten from his lips and now he finally spoke, “friend”? He asked feebly.

Escape-

The shallow water splashed up at the mudokons legs, the noise reflected down the pipe, past the fleech they ran, its tongue was to slow to catch a taste of flesh, the shadows danced and flickered in the light of the bottled fireflies, the group consisted of four Mudokons, nameless like so many, what little speech they new was reserved for plotting and planning, for these were the words of the masterful tacticians, they had trained were possible and now the grate was visible and the fumes of the stockyards greeted there desensitized nostrils, they clutched at there noses stumbling forward noisy now until suddenly, a popper no just a red light run, jump sidle creep through the shadows the searchlight passes over, run hop jump. Freedom? No bats, sligs slogs scrabs paramites those were what awaited them.

Ok here are all the MOM news i have done in the last two months

M.O.M – News you cannot refuse – By the Scrabtrapman

ISSUE1: UPRISINGS ON THE OUTER RIM!

Today General Dripik allowed some powerful new to slip from his stupid mouth, An uprising on the outer rim has started up and mudokons are killing sligs and taking there weapons, an un-confirmed death report has reached us that Jr. Executive Vippy has been killed by his workers, oh the horror!

General Dripik assures us that he is dealing with the situation and that these pockets of resistance shall be wiped out soon, “Big bro sligs” are being sent in to neutralise the areas and “remove” the sligs that failed.

In a side story, a small meat packaging plant has opened on the fringes of Mudos; the name of the plant is, well, no one cares.

This report was sent to you by Scrabtrapman our very own frontline reporter and was sponsored by Lung Busters; mmm that’s a good smoke, now with hack catcher!

ISSUE2: UPRISINGS ROLL

The uprisings in the outer rim are snowballing as the big bro’s go down, our poor over sized, drugged up brothers, Dripik has just confirmed that there has never actually been a war he has fought in, he only got general by default, what a shmuck!

Casualties have risen to around 600 sligs, the mudokons have a three to one kill ratio and have set up a small village for defence, mudarchers are on constant guard in strategic positions around the perimeter, there leader is rumoured to actually have known Abe!

In a side story, the meat plant that no one cares about has made a stunning profit increase of 150%, we will now name it as Mudos Mill Meat Plant, the Glukkon owner is still to be found.

This report was sent to you by Scrabtrapman our very own frontline reporter and was sponsored by Elum Chubs, lip smackingly sticky!

ISSUE3: MYKE’S THE VYK CREATES NEW GUNNER

Myk one of the junior Vykers has just stumbled over a fantastic new weapon to fight the uprisings, shock rocker! The shock rocker is a small pistol like weapon that, when fired, releases a 40ft by 40ft net, once the net touches the floor it channels all natural electricities from the ground and fries anything inside with 120,000 volts! Myk said this “When I tired the fuzzles little eyes literally blew out of there heads, what a mess, I was scrapping up bits of flesh for days”! M.O.M says that’s disgusting!

Mudos Mill Meat Plant or (MMMP) as it is now known is now the third largest meat plant on the entirety of Oddworld the glukkon responsible is none other than a chump named Murg, he has sent us a telegram saying this “I set up this little factory from an old mudokon mill, the Mudokons are happy to work for me and I don’t even have to pay them moolah! Just a bottle of Soulstorm MicroBrew a day!

ISSUE4: SLIG BARRACKS FALL!

Yesterday a group of mudokons around 200, fresh from the mudokon uprising barracks, Slig’s took heavy resistance and each platform was fought for inch by bloody inch, the mudarchers kept coming in great swathes while tomahawkers battered the poppers in front, Aslisk took a ball car outta there just as the muds found the boiler room, lucky they didn’t no how to operate the boilers, ha stupid little muds, however now they have taken the entire barracks and are raising the labour eggs, apparently the next stop is Sam the glukkon queen!

Our side story today is about a meech that was found in the very back pen of Rupture farms, it was found with a litter of dead meech’s which leads M.O.M to believe that somewhere there is a male meech ready for breeding woop woop!


ISSUE5: RUMOURS ANNOUNCED!

Dripik issued M.O.M a private talk today to announce that the slig barracks was never assaulted, however, the terrorist group now formerly known as MRS (mudokon rebellion squad) has assaulted various strategic choke points around Mudos, Dripik told us “I err… no for certain that those f***ing mud scum have not assaulted my beautiful barracks, I am sending in big bros to kill anyone who dared get in my metaphorical way”! What a moron huh.

In a side story the mudokons have teamed up with a group of Luskan Mercenaries, there hard shells and ologer droids make them dangerous opponents, even snuzis are no match for there armour, slig battle tanks have been phased into play!

ISSUE6: DROP POD

Last night two mysterious drop pods hurtled into a small jungle 40 miles from a slig outpost, delegate General Gibson told us, “We are investigating what sent these pods down; they appear to resemble wasp heads with six eyes”! The general has sent Mudos quadrant 11 into danger level 10 (1%-5% threat alert)

These mysterious pods give an interesting chance that there is life off Oddworld!

ISSUE7: UPRISINGS ARE RESTED

The uprisings on the outer rim have been moped up today, over 800 mudokons have been captured though many fled there are around 1200 accounted deaths, this is the largest mudokon uprising in the history of industrialism, Dripik said, “I obviously new that those duh, mudokons would get there duh juice, we are going to shoot every single one of the captured mudokons and hang them up for display in Molluck’s free fire zone”! M.O.M says, juice, that tard has finally lost it.

In a sub story the drop pods that were seen have been found deep in the forest, a small camp had been set up, a few huts made from wax and a range, the owners were nowhere to be seen, the technology of the camp is almost primitive besides one strange long spire that protrudes the tree canopy, it had four red lights on top and appears to be beaming waves out to space that are increasing in intensity by the hour, outpost slig leader Dycort gave us this tapper message, “I think its best if we watch this closely I haven’t been given any outstanding orders to destroy the place so I won’t, yet”!

ISSUE8: OUTPOST GOES OFFLINE

The outpost near the drop pod has lost connection with Dripik’s slig barracks, a possible confrontation arose when the sligs went in to scout the wreckage, the large pole that was erected in the forest was interfering with local telecommunications and appears to be beaming an unidentifiable message out to one of Oddworlds undiscovered distant moons, the threat level has been risen from 10 to 7, possible threat in a localized area, is M.O.M worried, no, no not really, oh and Dripik sent us a tapper just to make sure, “I do promise that er, the big pointy thing in the trees is going to be destroyed and the er things will be er taken away, the Vyker’s asked me for a specimen so I’ll give them one so long as they give me a few er vouchers? No, I mean money, er moolah.

Our sub story today is about the uprisings, today a mass execution was to be held but, after a small number of kills, an ambush was thrown, sligs returned rapid fire at the mudokon freedom fighters but the elusive terrorists hit and run tactics were superior, Dripik says “I swear, I was outnumbered”! Aslisk says “Bumbling idiot”! M.O.M says, go Aslisk.

ISSUE9: BREW REACHES RECORD LOW!

Today Soulstorm Brew reached an all time low in sales and profits, Brewmaster Glukkon was appalled when he was filed a report that there were no longer enough mudokons due to one reason or another, to maintain that soft delicious taste, he also was told that he had actually lost 800,000 moolah! The Brewmaster gave a secret report to M.O.M so, we published it, sorry but news is news Glukkon, “I am appalled at how we have lost our profits, my sligs are supposed to be extra brutal because it makes the mudokon tears salty from crying hard but, this is just stupid, suckmableuh”! Well, now we know that mudokons are ill-treated in there factories confides, this will surely bite the industrialists in there butts!

ISSUE10: GIBRO’S BONE BREAKING PLANT GETS HOSTILE TAKEOVER

Gibro is or was a small time industrialist on the edge of known oddworld, he made up for around 3% of soulstorm brew bones but, unlike its sister plants it had a reputation for uncanny safety and fantastically treated workers the bones weren’t even mudokon, there were never more than ten accidents a year! Yesterday GBBP went offline for a short period of time then we directly received this tapper, “We are hexarets, once there was a colony on this world and we are coming to find it, much has changed, we are going to take control of this area and keep it under our control, do not resist us”! M.O.M is being told to stay calm and that all inhabitants should see there local big bro for more information.
Our side story today is presented by Vyker’s new economic sub branch, it shows the economic change and balance of money as more and more of there buyers are being eradicated by the magog cartel’s violent nature! Note that Rupture Farms lost its meeches around 1999!

Forgotten-

chapter 1

When the Rupture farms went offline all its outposts on lease did not realise so they continued existence as they did before after around eight years the outposts began to realise there lease had expired so why weren’t they receiving messages, why weren’t they receiving anything? This story is set around eight years after the collapse of Rupture Farms and six years after the Soulstorm Tri Explosion. The story is intended to run a little bit longer than my others maybe a couple of chapters.

The gentle beat of the tribal bongos blown across the wind soothed the slig as it wandered from its post, he was on top of the hill and he could see a good ten miles of paramonia, he was supposed to be finding berries but everyday he made sure he came to the same spot, he had been watching a pack of paramites prey upon a wandering elum, he was amazed at there cunning skill, they hid in bushes while one paramite directed the elum through the clearing once it was through it was set upon by all the others in wait, then they took turns at devouring equal parts. He removed his visor and squinted, he was training his eyes to see without it and now he could see without the visor clearly for about five metres, “that’s five metres better than five years ago” he told himself, after a bit he returned to the camp, through the palisades and up to the makeshift storage hut were he dropped his berries on the floor, the sligs had really got back to nature and relieved there ancient sense to care, now they worked as a team and only killed when necessary. The sligs pants had been tampered with to work more effectively with the terrain, the spring loaded heels allowed them to escape pursuers without the need of a gun and also jump over falls and holes.
The slig senses were now adapted to paramonia, every strange noise and they would run and hide in the bushes waiting for whatever made it to pass on, usually it would just be a lone meech or something yes there are native meeches in paramonia though they are far different from there area 1029 ones, they are green in complexion with white stripes on there necks, they have spikes jutting from there heads and a soft feather coat on there backs.

can any help me as to where this should go?
