You know slime is probably scared of anyone other than himself falling down pits or holes where you can’t see the other person after a second, he himself on the other hand while not liking the sensation of falling he feels as though he deserves it, I dunno just a quick thing I thought would be interesting
yes he very much would be, and it worries and confuses everyone else
we're gonna be switching it up a bit have other people than just Las Nevadas citizens react to Slime's weirdness

Quackity was mining with the help of Tommy, Wilbur and Slime, of course.
Why Wilbur and Tommy joined, he had no idea.
He guessed Wilbur was trying to sabotage him and dragged Tommy along. The mexican didn't care, he just needed some ores for Sam and Foolish to use in builds, and even though he could technically make them get it themselves, they were in the middle of builds and he had free time. Slime would say he's just nice like that, he himself says that it's just more efficient that way.
The four of them had been quite deep in a dense cave network when they cave across a huge cave, it was really dark, but Slime came in handy. Because apparently the slime bits on his head and shoulder could glow in the dark, or emits light, he hadn't decided which was the case.
"Oh Jesus this cave is fuckin' huge!" Tommy exclaimed, he was the first to enter it, Slime tailing him because of orders from Quackity. Said man followed after with Wilbur being the last one to enter.
"It is in fact, huge!" Slime said enthusiastically, the glow from his little slimes growing brighter to show more of the cave.
There were a few pools of lava and some glow lichen that light it up a bit, giving them a sense of space, but it was still dark.
"You talk really funny, man. Are some fuckin' comedian?" Tommy asked Slime, it was said with a twinge of a mocking tone, but Quackity knew Tommy didn't mean any harm.
"I am a person!"
Wilbur chuckled at that, and walked up to Slime. Quackity's wings puffed up in alarm at that, he didn't trust Wilbur at all, and said man's track record with mobs was a cause of concern for the Mexican. Tommy also seemed a bit nervous.
"Give us a little more light, funny man" Wilbur said, with eased posture and no signs of danger. Quackity didn't buy it. The look in his eyes was unreadable, which made both Tommy and Quackity uncomfortable.
"Ok! Dap me up!" Slime held up his hand, waiting for the taller to 'dap him up'. As soon as Wilbur did, it started to become brighter.
They all moved on from the conversation and started placing down torches.
Quackity didn't want Slime's glow to go away, in all honesty it was very pretty. The green light made him look ethereal and his eyes seemed so bright behind those glasses. But they needed light, not just the glow from Slime.
As they properly light up the cave, they found a massive pit in the middle. They couldn't see the bottom.
Tommy, reckless as ever, took out his bucket and went to jump down. And he did.
Quackity only could barely get out a 'hey!' to scold the kid before Slime went after Tommy in a panic. His eyes glowed that same godly shine after that one game night, his skin was turning green and translucent as he jumped into the hole. Both Quackity and Wilbur rushed to the edge to watch. "Slime!" the mexican shouted after the man.
They both watched as Slime reached Tommy before they were even close to the ground. They watched as he pulled the confused boy close and made it so that he was facing the ground, as if to take the impact. The glow from his body and eyes illuminateed the hole, and Quackity's heart was pounding as he saw them reaching the ground.
Quackity watched them hit the ground, he expected them both or Slime to die from impact, but they watched as they bounced a few blocks back – then a flash of blinding light.
When Quackity went to peer at them again after shielding his eyes with his arm, he watched as the gently landed down again and seemed to take no damage. Slime's eyes were still glowing, although faintly. He was still looking more goopy.
Wilbur whistled loudly, as if he was impressed.
"How are you going to get back up from there, funny man? Anything your... 'goop' can do to fix that problem eh?" Wilbur yelled down at them, a smirk across his face.
Quackity wanted to punch him for that.
Slime looked up at them and raised his arm, and they watched as it started to stretch. The further it went, the skinnier Slime seemed to become, it seemed he was taking the mass from the rest of his body into extending his arm.
When it reached them up at the mouth of the hole, Quackity grabbed it immediately, a sturdy grip on it.
Slime started to pull him and Tommy back up, pulling the slime back into his body.
"What the hell man? Why did you fuckin'... jump after me?"
Slime was quiet. It was unusual.
When Tommy and Slime were out of there and the totally-not-slime man was no longer translucent, they decided to head back to the surface after marking their route. Wilbur and Tommy were walking in the front, their banter a sort of background noise to Quackity as he glanced at Slime.
His form wasn't holding up that well, he was constantly sweating green gloop and his eyes were still glowing. He was clenching and unclenching his hands, he wasn't smiling anymore. He looked on edge.
Quackity reached out and grabbed Slime's hand, the slime seemed to like doing it so he thought it'd help soothe him.
Slime glanced at him, a tiny smile tugging at his lips.
They both gripped each other's hands tightly.
"You alright?" Q asked quietly, looking ahead.
"...No, but I will be" Slime answered, bringing the mexican's hand to his lips and giving it a soft kiss. Quackity sputtered at that gesture, but didn't pull his hand away. He only pulled their hands back down, his face red and wings puffed up beneath his shirt.
"Christ Slime, do you have to kiss me so much?"
"You deserve it, Quackity from Las Nevadas"
"Unlike me" Slime quietly admitted.
