BTW, how is xp earned? It's an essential resource, would be good to know how to get more.

Soul transferal is for Damien. Leah's an NPC, she has her own shtick and you won't need to spend XP to develop her powers. As for Soul Transferal - it's a ten tier power like all powers. At its highest level you're basically endgame Agent Smith. At its lower levels - well, Leah will show it off to you so you'll be able to judge for yourself.
XP is essentially gained in two ways. First, is eating 'interesting things'. Sentient creatures is best, but anything Damien hasn't eaten before will help. You get bonuses depending on various factors (variety, quantity, quality, your consumption level, etc.) but at base Consumption 1, you go from 5xp (pablum), 10 xp (adequate), 15 xp (interesting), 20 xp (very interesting), 25 xp (Amazing!). Second, would be having 'interesting experiences.' This hasn't been introduced yet, but works more or less like Exalted Motivations - if you decide to do something particularly noteworthy (start a successful superhero team, start a gang war and then eat the winners, become a well-respected philanthropist billionaire, start a major social movement and lead it forwards, become the pirate king, etc.) you will also get XP. We'll get more into the latter later.
You can also gain XP through development (as mentioned in the options), though this will depend on dice rolls and will be geared towards a specific thing.
That doesn't make 120 xp seem like THAT much. Raiding a zoo should get us that much easily. 24 new animals of pablum uniqueness.
Ah, that is MUCH different, yeah.You misunderstand. The numbers are generally per update.
- Location
- USA
So many voters. this quest really benefitted from the transfer.
The idea of prototype monster being a philanthropist billionaire is hilarious
Besides that, its still several levels of other skills. And it is a very rare case where we can get it via wealth. essentially buying 120XP with money.

2. Week 2: Old McDonald Had A Farm
One day, you find a picture book. It's called Old McDonald Had A Farm. The pages are stained and crinkled and it smells like the leftovers of a sewage sundae.
You love it.
By the time you get to page 4, 'Old McDonald had a cow', you have the best idea.
Predictably, Leah is against it.
-----
-----
"No," she tells you, as seriously as she can, which isn't very.
This is because she is about yea tall and also a cat.
Leah has powers. You are very curious about this. Sometimes you think you can just start to grasp how she does it, the trick of jumping bodies, but it trickles away, fast as a bolt. It'll take much more sustained effort for you to do the same. In the meantime, you're stuck in one body. She isn't, so her voice is no longer hitchhiking in your head and instead exiting the cat that liked you so much a few alleyways ago. You don't quite see the difference between her operating it like a fuzzy-wuzzy meat puppet and you eating it so you can incorporate it into your collective biomass, but are now wise enough not to mention it lest everything get horrifically side-tracked by allusions to God, cuteness and such.
You like Leah better as a cat. There's a lot less 'thou shalt' and 'you must' and a lot more chasing after small skittering things and trying to climb trees. She's only gotten stuck twice so far and you are quite sure she is well on her way to understanding the benefits of raw rat even if she still claims it gross.
Why she feels compelled to bury her organic waste instead of letting you have it is a mystery you fear you will never solve.
"No," she repeats when the moment stretches.
You choose to smirk. Leah is much better than you at arguing, but you've been working and planning on this. You'll use logic and rational arguments to sway her. After an entire night spent pondering, this is what you've come up with:
"You said steak was yummy."
You wait for her to falter. Based on previous experience when it came to the 'Day Leah Lacroix decided to eat rats' hunger is what will convince her.
There is a moment of silence that is broken by a lot of blinking.
Finally:
"No," she meows, before immediately correcting herself. "I mean yes, it is delicious - like - but robbing a farm? It's too dangerous, Damien." She sits on her haunches, nose quivering.
You expected this tactic. You open your picture book. She takes this will ill-concealed impatience. Her ears twitch and her tail lashes behind her. You laboriously open up to page 13 and show her the chicks. Since you're doing this in broad daylight, the light falls on the images quite well and they are clear to see. Just twenty feet away, people walk past the alleyway, ignoring the talking cat and viral abomination reading the picture book. Even Leah has to admit people are surprisingly oblivious.
You point to Old McDonald who is taking a nap. "Not dangerous." Then you point to the chicks. "Yummy!"
"Uhhhm," Leah says.
You flip forward to the ducks.
"Yummy!" you announce.
Then the-
"F-fine!" she says. "Just, uh, stop right there." She puts a paw to her forehead and growls to herself. Then she puts it down looks you in the eye. "Do you remember the Ten Commandments? What you want to do is called 'stealing'. It's not right."
"You said stealing was okay, sometimes."
"Only when necessary!" the cat yowls defensively.
You nod, very serious. "Then it's necessary."
She sighs. "Do you even know where to find a farm?"
You frown, and sit back. This problem hadn't occurred to you.
Damn, Leah is really good at arguing.
Turns out, Leah doesn't know where to find a farm either. This is a crushing disappointment. She tells you that the internet might help, but the number of places that have have readily usable internet and allow cats inside is very limited. It's about then the two of you learn Leah is... um, stuck. Inside the cat. It may take some time for her to figure out how to jump to a different body. In the meantime you try to operate a computer yourself. This is far more difficult than it sounds. You don't make it past the library's login page and are forced to either eat a librarian or call it quits. Given the number of times Leah told you: "Do not eat anyone Damien, I'm serious!" before letting you enter, you leave the eat-a-librarian plan for discussion.
Like usual, Leah vetoes it.
So you try something else.
-----
----
You enter The Favor.
According to the scraps of memory you painstakingly resurrected from all the dead Bad People you have eaten, this is the place to go if you want to learn something. Sadly, Bad People are generally not very curious because not a single one actually seems to have entered here, but since you know where it is you might as well try. It's a Bar. It's a very pretty bar with no customers and exactly one person inside.
The person doesn't look up from where he's polishing the counter. "No cats. Come back in a few years, kid."
You ignore that. "Where's the closest farm, Mister?"
You're very proud you remembered to use the 'Mister'. Usually you forget or get it wrong. People are very touchy when you get it wrong. It'd be easier if they were more consistent about the short hair for men, long hair for women thing, or mammary gland thing, but it's not systematic.
The man looks up. He's got red hair, brown skin, and a grizzled jawline, but, given that Leah gasps a little, you suspect he is what she would call 'cute'. Or maybe 'handsome.' You're not sure what the difference is yet, or if there even is one.
"We're closed, kiddo. Geddout."
Again, you ignore that.
"I heard it was here you got to learn anything worth learning, Mister." You stride forward and then jump up onto a stool. With your much reduced biomass it doesn't even creak. "So, where's the closest farm?"
He finally stops polishing the countertop. "Do I look like my name is Google? Geddout and look it up."
"I tried."
"Look, do you think this a joke? I said get out."
Oh. Disappointing.
"Well, if you don't know where the closest farm is, you could tell me about the gangs. I also want to know about them. Leah said that if people are Bad, I could..." a though occurs to you and tentacles writhe beneath your thin veneer of humanity, your entire body preparing to become a dark smile, "are you Bad?"
Before he can answer something runs up your leg, yowls as it climbs onto your face, hissing and spitting.
You are, within a few moments, forced out of The Favor by a very irate body-jacked cat.
----
"Oh my God, Damien, you can't just ask someone if they're Bad."
----
Outside, you spend a lot of time waiting on Leah and she walks around, growling.
After a very long lecture which pretty much boils down to Leah calling you a socially impaired man-eating alien nitwit Leah tells you to stay put and not eat anyone she'll figure it out for you. Well, she'll figure out the gang thing for you, anyway. You should be happy, but you brood next to a dumpster, sticking rotting biomass in your face. You thought that had been going really well. He'd been talking to you and everything and you were talking right back. You've never done that before except with Leah!
You don't even get to eat anyone before Leah returns: the one likely candidate who is probably Bad turns green when he realizes what you're doing and runs off.
You're still unhappy when Leah returns, hours later.
"Sounds like there are five big groups," she tells you. She sounds very satisfied. Of course she does. She got to talk. Or at least listen. "The Cartel, the Yakuza, the Irish, the Mob, and Baskin-Robbins."
You mmm-hmmm in reply and continue eating.
Leah looks at you, surprised. "Yeah, uh, I guess that wasn't a good joke. Who'm I kidding you're an alien. It was actually Roxxon Corporation. And..." she hesitates, looking at you more closely. "Damien, are you okay?"
You check your status.
"Yes," you tell her shortly. "Just hungry."
"You... don't sound happy."
You have no idea what happiness has to do with anything.
"I also, um, heard about a farm... but, if you're not interested."
You pick up the cat who yowls in surprise and hug it close. "Leah! You're the best!"
-----
-----
Leah brings you to a big brick building. When you sneak inside (okay, break your way inside) you discover the inside is very green. You might have very little experience with humanity, but from what your picture book indicates, this is so not a farm.
"Leah. Where are my ducks."
"Uhhhh..."
"Leah. Where are my cows and horsies."
"Surprise...?"
"Leah. Where are my cows and horsies?!"
-----
[x] You leave without eating anything.
[x] You still end up eating all of it.
[x] You eat everything except the farmers.
-----
You later do find a farm. It takes most of a week, but you manage it! It is nothing like Old McDonald. You're starting to think that the picture book lied to you. Just like Leah lied to you. You still don't know how you feel about that. You don't know if it's against God's rules, but if not it should be. People shouldn't - people shouldn't trick you! It's not nice!
The horsies aren't cute at all though. One of them kicked a hoof straight through your face when you tried to sneak up behind it.
You might have been a bit messy with it.
----
Gains:
If you kill the gang running the weed farm: about ten thousand cash and miscellaneous items and 35xp (Very Interesting! Quite a bit of new input). If you didn't kill the gangsters there (28xp). And if you only snacked on the farm animals, 21xp (Interesting!). No matter what, your biomass gets maxed out.
Consumption III - You can consume biomass at a rate equivalent to around 4kg/sec. You will retain knowledge from the consumption. Rank 4 skills now obtainable upon consumption (rare). You can now obtain magic skills. You can now obtain Forms. +1xp per 10 people consumed. (Upgrade: 35 xp, experimental subjects (9, all human) and Biology IV)

Biology? How would we get that? Get a book and study?
[x] You still end up eating all of it.
Hey, food is food.
[X] Patience II - You can stay put for relatively long periods of time without wandering off, or continue at a task even if you find it pointless.
[X] All Mobbed Up II - You know about as much about the Irish mob as a low level grunt does.
[X] Form: Seamus Mckenna - Balding man in his 30s.
[X] Scent IV (Dog) - Your nose is as good as dog's - while you couldn't necessarily track something through a city, you'd be pretty good if the scent trail hasn't been too disturbed.
Patience is a must. Learning about the Mob is handy for tracking down more money and/or Bad people. Having an adult form to use is also very useful. And finally, being able to follow a scent trail, and generally be able to smell things out, can be very useful.
[X] Smad
She was our Friend! Some friend she is.
[X] Forgive her.
She's our friend, even if she's a doo-doo head.
@FixerUpper Could we do a write-in here? Smad and Make Her Apologize seem like good options.
No idea on what we should do this week.

Well, if you developed Biology using an action slot, yeah, pretty much. Otherwise you'd have to hunt biologists.
I'll okay the smad, but given how little Damien has in the ways of social skills, you don't actually understand the concept of apologies.

I love the way Damien talks and acts. I just wish he could act like that for the rest of the quest.

I'm saying a pub because we do have the Seamus form and we can learn more about the Irish (the gang, not the people)
Also guys do you really think getting a dog form when Leah appears to be slowly becoming more cat like (in her actions) is a good idea?

You think that wasnt thought about? Do you think that this wasnt absolutely and completely intentional. She led us to the wrong farm independent of whether it was intentional or not. She said we couldnt eat people whenever we want. She prevented us from eating him and knowing where the farm with the cowsies are. It´s her fault. Is this a new feeling? Im feeling... vengeful. Primarily sad. But still vengeful. Not to hunt her or anything like that. God no, that would be far too much. Just enough to annoy the crap out of her. If she doesnt care about us looking like that than it really doesnt matter. Also not all cats and dogs hate each other. As a child we once had a cat who actually snuggled up with our dog from time to time. Maybe she was just very cuddly, who knows.
Also if you thinks its not a good idea why do you vote for the same thing?

But I do think it's a good idea. I just commented on it doesnt mean I dont agree with you guys.
Hell for all you know the reason I want us to get a dog form could be because I want us to show her that the cat form is affecting her mind and as such we should eat it.
Why do you guys want the form of a dog? I can't think of anything useful it'd give us, presumably you can since you are voting for it.
Plus, the Mob option would give us a lot of useful info. Primarily, where to find more Bad people to eat.
Why do you want Chemistry? Unless we get REALLY HIGH Chemistry (comic-book genius levels of high), don't see it doing us much good.

Less likely to draw attention.
Our kid form is doing a rather good job of not drawing attention. It's mentioned in this update that people are completely ignoring us. What's more, the people who do pay attention to us tend to be Bad people, and those we can eat, which is good.

How about this. If we're a dog, we'd get thrown into the pound, or as I term it, the smorgasbord.
There'd only be more dogs and cats, nothing that interesting. And Leah would almost certainly be against us eating them, them being cute and what-not. Plus, why would we let ourselves be captured in the first place in order to find out about the smorgasbord? It's not like they could capture us if we didn't want capturing.

With enough Chemistry we get a good source of income which we can use to buy animals and beyond that knowing about Chemistry will give us knowledge on how to manipulate and use various poisons as well as allowing us to make bombs.

Good point. Do you think we could try this with other things too? I would really like to know whether that would work with other forms too. Who know maybe if we scare her bad enough in a human form she might allow us to eat all humans. I mean its worth a try right? I think i now know what im going to vote for after the next update.
(If there is a possibility for me to vote for that.)
It gives us the chance to just walk up to random people and follow them around without them finding us suspicious if we act accordingly. It´s a very specific and weird ability but one i always wanted. If we follow someone it gives us the possibility to follow them directly to their door without them finding us weird. With a slight possibility they may give us food. There are a lot of logical reasons. The most important one... i love dogs. Even if we have to eat ´em. I dont love all dogs.
