Porings

Thank you to LiXIX, weh weh, Erusmortis, Arbonite for reviewing my work. Thank too to the readers for checking it out.

Part 2

1. Dead PoringGhostrings and Whispers? (from LiXIX's review)

Weird but true. I do believe that Ghostrings are dead Porings, a spirit type. Firstly, they look really the same if you check out the cards. Secondly, a poring's elemental depends on it's diet and behavior. If a Poring eats a Fire Heart(A heart-shaped Stone in dark red color, enchanted with the fire property.), it will become a Fire Poring. If it eats an Mystic Frozen(A icicled stone in light blue color, enchanted with the water property), it will turn into a Marin. Ghostrings and Whispers are mainly lost Poring souls, having a broken heart; usually left by the owner or killed after the owner is killed. That's why you'll usually find them in Payon Dungeon level 4 and sometimes in Glast Heim.

2. Why are Porings pink? (From Weh weh's review)

I've been thinking for months about that too. Other than cute camouflage (by being protected by girls and certain guys), there has to be a biological reason. I believe it's because of the bacteria in them. Good ones which keep the Poring(Pink one) healthy and well, jelly like. They get the bacteria(s) from eating apples. Most likely when their system turns the apple product into a nesting ground for bacteria. No worries though as this bacteria is harmless to humans but a put off to certain predators (that's why nothing seems to attack Porings.

3. How do Porings and Poring kin respond to Rocker's(Yes, the guitar playing insects) music? (From Arbonite's review)

Hmm. I don't see any problems between the Porings and Rockers's music. Rockers(the guitar playing insect) are herbivores, so they don't eat the Porings and vice versa. But come to think of it, if the Rocker plays badly or if the music bothers the Poring's youngs, the Poring would chase the rocker away. They would launch stones, sticks or anything they can find at the Rocker, perhaps even a sword. Don't be surprise if you see a Rocker jumping around with a sword pinned to its head.

4. Are Porings like Gold fish? 3 second memory.

No and the myth of gold fish having short term memory has been proven as false(thanks to the Mythbusters). If they ever had a 3 second memory, every Poring owner would lose their pets.

5. Angelings, how did they become them?

As stated in number 1, a Poring's elemental depends on its diet and behavior. Mostly this is more to their behavior. When a Poring/Drops/Poporing, Marin, etc(except Angeling, Ghostring, Whisper and Deviling) dies, it will either be reborn as an Angeling (Good), Deviling(Evil) or a Ghostring/Whisper(G. or W. depending on how strong it is.)

6. Santa Poring?

Most likely stole Santa's hat. Poor Santa. Nah! There's 2 answers. Firstly, the Poring picked it up (too obvious). Secondly, there has been a story of a 6 year old girl giving out Santa hats to the Porings. She loves Porings so much that she made hundreds for them as Christmas gifts to keep them warm during winter. Did I mention she's a ghost a.k.a dead. (Oo)? Ps: It is also said that she appears in the heavy winters of the week of Christmas. You never know, you may catch sight of her.

7. Hey! That Poring took my +9 padded armor with Orc lord card!

That's too bad. Another reason Porings steals items from humans other than liking unusual stuff is to build a nest. Just like an Utah Bird, it collects anything it finds useful(and sometimes useless) items which is suitable for its nest. I guess the Poring and its mate will be well protected thanks to that +9 padded armor with Orc Lord Card.

8. A Poring has a tongue…..

Even weirder. The fact that a jelly creature has a tongue and even sticks it out at people. Mine did. Embarrassed. Well, like us humans, it uses its tongue to taste and of course, stick its tongue out when being irritated by someone.

9. Poring dolls, why are they in Porings of all items?

Quite a not so rare item. Usually able to get one after a dozen kills or more. Nothing to do with humans I believe (1000 Poring dolls found is too far from being unusual). I can't imagine how a Poring gets a cloth and start sewing. More likely a game thing. None logical.

10. Yeah! I got a Poring Card! Wait, how does it work and why is it in a Poring?

Firstly, the image on the card is the memory of the Poring but very default because of the game. Something like a memory frozen and turn into a card. Secondly, it gives luck +3 or something because the card sends out the ability of the Poring.

11. Jellopy in a Poring?

The Primary material of a Poring. Looks very solid but actually squishy. More durable than your average jelly.

12. Candy in a Santa Poring.

Obvious. Steal from candy stores. Please check expiry date before consumption.

13. I killed the Poring, where's the elemental stone? I need it!

The Poring has already consume it and become the stone's element in seconds.

14. Metalling

Robot Porings. Depends on kinetic weights inside of it and inertia to jump, move and stabilize. Energy source most likely elemental stones but still unknown.

15. Why don't Porings have limbs?

In religion, they're made that way. In Charles Darwin's Theory (Proven wrong by today's scientist), evolution. In RO terms, cute.

16. Meaning of Poring and why?

i. To read or study carefully and attentively

ii. To gaze intently; stare. (Most likely this. Their faces always stare.)

iii. To meditate deeply; ponder

Any questions or curiosity, I would be glad to answer them. Please write them in the review. Special thanks to LiXIX, Weh weh, Erusmortis, and Arbonite. You're questions helped greatly.
