“Slime Stuff - For The Average Slime Enthusiast... A ‘roll’ is a unit of measurement determined by the average span in which an ordinary slime can traverse in a single, unmotivated bound from a standstill. Which happens to measure out as a distance of 63.5 cm, or in freedom units (Cheese Burger for Bald Eagle in a College Football Field), 2 feet and 1 inch... - Sentient_Sock, “Sock Guy””

??? - POV -
Methodically trying to pry myself out of the Noisy One’s unyielding grasp; I successfully managed to wiggle my core out from under its concave palm. But before getting any further, I am interrupted by the rhythmic booming of heavy, resounding thuds. Gradually, the sound became increasingly pronounced; Almost akin to that of the bellowing of raging thunder. Visibly shrinking back, I compressed my excess mass around my core; Revamp into a round, cerulean blue orb almost half of my original radius. Staring straight ahead, I am petrified by what I witnessed. I paled, the very color draining from my now quivering core.
‘What in the actual fuck is THAT!?...’
Towering over both me and the Noisy One; Was a burly, rippling MONSTER. The bulking stalwarts’ snaking, bulging veins were girthier than the entirety of my comparatively puny core. Its muscular body was composed of more muscle than there are stars in the night sky. Presumably scanning its immediate surroundings; It ultimately locked eyes with me. Immediately, my movements stilled; All but assured of my impending doom, likely even death.
Fortunately, before succumbing to the raging, roiling fear that now stricken my core; It dismissed its imposing glare. Settling down a bit, I brought my awareness back towards the bulky behemoth. It seemed to be conversing with the other Noisy One, about what, I hadn’t the vaguest of clue. Its voice was truly jarring in the sense of discrepancy between its body and pitch. Nevertheless, it still shook my core every time it spoke.
Stuck between the two bickering creatures, if you could call one of them as such; I began to tire from the duo's insistent gibbering. Studying the most certainly, abnormally large Noisy One, I'm seized by the creature's iron grip. Wanting absolutely nothing to do with the grotesque being; I begin desperately squirming around. But unfortunately, my attempts were futile...
----------------------------------------
Im currently being dangled around by that monstrous Noisy One; Lifted by a single, glimmering
verdant vine that was virtually fused to my beautiful body.
‘Hmph!’ ‘The indignity!’
I'm literally being treated like an object! Twisting to the side the best I could considering my current circumstances; I watched on with near palpable spite as the behemoth meandered along, seemingly without a care in the world. Directing my attention elsewhere, I marvel at the sheer proportions of their hole. And that's disregarding the stunning, transcendental objects and spaces throughout the complex; All of which I couldn’t even begin to fathom a purpose for, much less have even imagined their profound appearances without seeing them first.

I was... I was just flabbergasted, at a complete and utter loss for words. I was fumbling through my core; Trying to find a comparison in regards to this bizarre scene. The hole in which I resided was in reality a subsection of another, much larger hole. Connected to many others, in fact. And not only that, but the main hole was ABOVE ground. Formed of lengthy, vertical strips of polished trees; Intermittently dotted by panes of an incredibly clear material, and the same miniature suns as in the previous hole.
Glancing around the best I could whilst suspended but a roll from the ground, constantly twisting around in an erratic spiral; I couldn’t help but be absolutely floored by the amount of residents. Occupying the wide array of surreal amenities scattered throughout the hole, or simply loitering nearby; Were A LOT of Noisy Ones. There were more Noisy Ones in this single area, than I have cumulatively seen in the entirety of my life. From the well groomed and defined elders, to the unkempt and jacked; To the charming and lithe, and bountiful yet curt. A melding pot of unique characters and appearances. All of which have had their attention directed towards me...
Visibly shrinking under the numerous, piercing gazes of the intrigued and confounded; I fumbled about in an attempt to evacuate out of their sight. Presumably sensing my immense struggle, the burly Noisy One proceeded to let out what could only be presumed as a primal roar. Almost immediately all of the noise in the hole ceased; The creatures receding their stares whilst trembling.
Once again pulled along by the terrifying creature, I find us inside of yet another subsection of the hole. This hole was smaller than the previous one, but not by much; It just felt as such due to the large utilities installed within. From a girthy, dome shaped cave entrance made of dark red, Running Bond rocks; To numerous large, rectangular objects formed from polished rocks, all with a vast array of fixtures and extruded portions.
Setting me down with a show of confounding gentleness; The Noisy One proceeded to attach the verdant vine to a rock before lumbering over to a vertical, dead tree. Swinging open two flaps from an intersection in its center, it began to rummage through its contents before retreating with an arm full of numerous goodies. From foods similar to those found in the forest, to a multitude of things which I have never before seen, including a long rock. ‘I'm pretty sure that that's not edible...’. Returning to the spot that it had left me; It unceremoniously deposited its jumble of items on the polished, marbled rock on which I sat.
THUD!
Startled, I flattened my body by instinct while attempting to leap to the side; But am unfortunately pulled back by the damned vine. Dazed, I stood completely oblivious to the Noisy One’s colossal, outstretched hand.
‘…’
‘... Did it... did it just PET me? HOW DARE IT!!!’
Immediately, I whipped around; Releasing a series of deafening squeaks.
‘THE AUDACI-PLOOP!?’
Staggered by the impromptu interruption; I shifted my presence towards my insides. Suspended in my gelatinous body was the leafy nub of an orange vegetable. Bewildered, I quickly dissolved the unexpected offering. Finished, I glance over at the towering Noisy One; Still not quite satisfied with its apology.
‘I'm gonna need more than that.’
----------------------------------------
Stuffed, I laid upon the cold, slick surface of the large rock. The day was going surprisingly well, and the Noisy One was pretty nic-
Clink~
Perking back up, I peeked at the curiously shaped, concave rock. Residing inside of the slick, yet dull object; Was a meaty, aromatic amber liquid, with chunks of floating bits. Inching forward, I marveled at the stunning food. Not even a second after gazing upon the mystifying liquid, I made my move.
Sploosh!
‘Mmm~ Good~’
