{CHAPTER 1 - MEETING WITH JELLI}

(In a swamp biome…)

[player]: “Jeez…this place is so wet it’s like something rained here.”

Female Slime: (gently tugging on [player]'s leg) “Hey there! Want to play?”

([player] looks behind them and sees the female Slime.)

[player]: “Uh…can you get off my leg, please?”

Female Slime: (taken aback) “Oh, sorry! I didn’t mean to bother you. I just thought maybe we could have some fun together.”

[player]: “It’s alright, I guess. I’m just not used to slime creatures being so friendly.”

Female Slime: (saddened) “I understand. Most people find us slimy creatures disgusting and avoid us. But I promise, I won’t harm you. My name is Jelli, by the way.”

[player]: “Nice to meet you, Jelli. I’m [player]. What brings you here in this swamp?”

Jelli: “I live here. This is my home. It might not be the most glamorous place, but it’s where I feel comfortable.”

[player]: “I see. Well, it’s certainly a unique habitat. So, what kind of games were you thinking of playing?”

Jelli: “Hmm, how about a game of tag? I can bounce around and hide in the marshes, while you try to catch me. It’ll be a fun way to explore the swamp.”

[player]: “Sounds interesting. Alright, let’s play!”

(Jelli hops away, leaving a trail of slime behind. [player] follows and tries to catch Jelli as she playfully dodges through the swamp.)

[player]: “You’re quite slippery, Jelli! How do you manage to move so fast in this muddy environment?”

Jelli: (laughs) “Being a slime has its advantages! My body is capable of gliding smoothly through any surface, even the stickiest mud. It’s like I’m always sliding, which makes it easier to escape.”

[player]: “That’s pretty cool. It must be fun being a slime.”

Jelli: “It definitely has its perks. Plus, I can morph into different shapes too! Watch this!”

(Jelli transforms into a perfect cube and bounces around, showcasing her flexibility.)

[player]: “Wow, that’s impressive! I had no idea slimes could do that.”

Jelli: “Thank you! Slimes are known for their ability to change shape, and it helps us adapt to different situations. Plus, it’s really fun to surprise others with our transformations.”

[player]: “I can imagine. It’s great getting to know more about slimes. I’ve never really interacted with one before.”

Jelli: “I’m glad I could give you a different perspective. Sometimes, it’s important not to judge based on appearance alone. We all have unique qualities to offer.”

[player]: “You’re right, Jelli. I shouldn’t have judged you without getting to know you first. Thanks for showing me the joys of slime life.”

Jelli: “No problem, [player]! I’m always happy to make new friends and change people’s perceptions. Let’s continue playing and exploring the swamp together!”

[player]: “Absolutely! Let’s make the most out of our time here.”

(And so, [player] and Jelli spend the rest of the day playing, laughing, and bonding in the swamp biome, forming an unlikely friendship.)

{CHAPTER 2 - JELLI STARTS BUDDING}

Jelli: (noticing her belly looks a little bigger than normal) “Hey, uh…[player]? Does my belly look bigger to you?”

[player]: (observing Jelli’s belly) “Hmm, now that you mention it, it does seem a bit larger. Is everything alright, Jelli?”

Jelli: (nervously) “I’m not sure. This has never happened before. I feel different, and my body feels a little strange.”

[player]: “Do you want me to take a closer look? Maybe I can figure out what’s going on.”

Jelli: (hesitant) “Okay, but please be gentle. I’m not sure what’s happening, and I’m a bit scared.”

([player] gently touches Jelli’s belly.)

[player]: “I can feel something inside. It feels soft, like… another slime?”

Jelli: (surprised) “Another slime? But how? I’ve never come across this before.”

[player]: “Maybe it’s a natural process for slimes. Let’s try not to worry too much. We can figure it out together.”

Jelli: (taking a deep breath) “You’re right. We’ll face it together. But I can’t help but wonder, what if I’m not ready to be a parent?”

[player]: “It’s okay, Jelli. Parenting is a big responsibility, and it’s natural to feel uncertain. But remember, you have me and the support of our friends. We’ll be here to help you every step of the way.”

Jelli: (feeling relieved) “Thank you, [player]. Your words mean a lot to me. I’m glad I have you as a friend.”

[player]: “And I’m glad to have you as a friend, Jelli. We’ll navigate this new chapter together, and I’m sure it will bring us closer.”

(As Jelli and [player] continue to explore and enjoy their time in the swamp biome, they embark on a journey of discovery, friendship, and the challenges of parenthood as Jelli’s budding progresses.)
