Industrial Cyber Forest
```

Stepping into this forest is like being immersed in deep foilage, trees surrounding all of you - yet with the soundscape and particulars of an industrial landscape. Everything is artificial, in a harsh, metallic, unrepentant kind of way - trees tower over you made of concrete and steel, towering braching poles sprawling out into solar panels and electronics equipment, and cables string from planet to plant overhead to criss-cross the canopy. If it's late at night, then blinkenlights and indicator signals pin-prick your surroundings in a mix of faint greens, reds and ambers. The sounds of electric motors, fans, engines and generators thrummmmm all around you - and the rustling, clicking, trotting of mechanical fauna big, small, flying and crawling and skulking can be heard all around you - and there's clear evidence of trails, nests, even trapdoors and crawlways should you know what to look for. A stream of rushing water (or coolant?) leads you to a clearing in the forest's center, where an artificial great oak is lined with computronium interfaces and displays on its eight flat sides. This seems like it'd be a perfect place to bushwalk in, if you have an affinity for mechanical flora and fauna - either to explore your surroundings, or perhaps to enjoy the wilderness as an artificial lifeform yourself.

Luge N10 W3
```

You sit on a street luge (it resembles a long skateboard) and zip directly there!

Observatory of the Inward Eye(#14631RLJ)

Grassy paths, shuttle lines, and light rail tracks connect a hill at the edge of the disk to the world at large. Where they meet, a copper dome overwhelms the dwindling horizon. The observatory's white ceramic walls and metal roofs help the complex bring to mind old high-voltage electrical equipment. A bright red sparkle between panels makes it gleam with energy!

```
 
```

The surrounding hillside is placid and quiet, enough that much wildlife has found a comfortable home in the bushes and trees that surround the buildings. When the dome opens and the telescope's motors resound low through the ground, squirrels and birds watch with peculiarly knowing interest.

```
 
```

At the base of the round flat structure that supports the dome, stained glass doors in a jagged pattern swing open and inviting.

        It's cool out, with a very light wind in the cloudless, sunless sky.  It feels like about 4 pm.

```
Observatory Foyer
```

A grandiose space with sweeping ramps and balcony levels on two sides, helpfully built as handholds for larger creatures to climb up like a ladder. A branching frame of translucent ruby supports the building from within, holding up the ceramic outside walls and letting in filtered sunlight through the gaps. It looks like an unlikely fossilized tree, or a crystalline circulatory system.

```
 
```

In the center of the space, well off the ground, spins... A sculpture? It's a huge lens in a copper frame, showing distorted and vivid visions of the world with every revolution. Large arched doors lead off to different sectors of the building, and a shifting synth idles behind a desk.

Newcomer's Island(#1603RDA)
```

        This appears to be a rather constrictive inkwell, jammed full of characters.  A little bit of Vulpes Flourinectie ink drops on you; through it one can see the rose garden that's out there and the people in it.  Among other things, the world outside the inkwell offers housing that isn't so cramped, or so wet.

```
 
```

        You might choose to visit the Rose Garden by typing 'out', or the park of the day by typing 'park'.  You can return to this area by typing 'new'.  If you're new to MUCKing, you can get a short list of important commands by typing 'commands'.

```
 
```

        If you'd like a character, you can page a wizard who's on duty -- they're listed by typing 'wizzes' -- or if none are available, send an email with the name you want and some information about your character to     character@spindizzy.org    and if there's no difficulties, the persona will be created.  It's highly recommended to take look around SpinDizzy and talk to other residents before requesting a character.

```
  
```

        If you *have* a character and would like automated help setting it up, or re-setting it, you may wish to try typing the 'setup' command from here.  You can get help finding a home by typing 'homefinder',  or type 'homefinder #help' for more options.

```
  
```

        If you need help, try paging helpstaff or a wizard (type 'helpstaff' or 'wizzes' for a list of such people), or for basic help type 'commands'.

Observatory of the Inward Eye(#14631RLJ)

Grassy paths, shuttle lines, and light rail tracks connect a hill at the edge of the disk to the world at large. Where they meet, a copper dome overwhelms the dwindling horizon. The observatory's white ceramic walls and metal roofs help the complex bring to mind old high-voltage electrical equipment. A bright red sparkle between panels makes it gleam with energy!

```
 
```

The surrounding hillside is placid and quiet, enough that much wildlife has found a comfortable home in the bushes and trees that surround the buildings. When the dome opens and the telescope's motors resound low through the ground, squirrels and birds watch with peculiarly knowing interest.

```
 
```

At the base of the round flat structure that supports the dome, stained glass doors in a jagged pattern swing open and inviting.

        It's cool out, with a very light wind in the cloudless, sunless sky.  It feels like about 4 pm.

Observatory Foyer
```

A grandiose space with sweeping ramps and balcony levels on two sides, helpfully built as handholds for larger creatures to climb up like a ladder. A branching frame of translucent ruby supports the building from within, holding up the ceramic outside walls and letting in filtered sunlight through the gaps. It looks like an unlikely fossilized tree, or a crystalline circulatory system.

```
 
```

In the center of the space, well off the ground, spins... A sculpture? It's a huge lens in a copper frame, showing distorted and vivid visions of the world with every revolution. Large arched doors lead off to different sectors of the building, and a shifting synth idles behind a desk.

Newcomer's Island(#1603RDA)
```

        This appears to be a rather constrictive inkwell, jammed full of characters.  A little bit of Vulpes Flourinectie ink drops on you; through it one can see the rose garden that's out there and the people in it.  Among other things, the world outside the inkwell offers housing that isn't so cramped, or so wet.

```
 
```

        You might choose to visit the Rose Garden by typing 'out', or the park of the day by typing 'park'.  You can return to this area by typing 'new'.  If you're new to MUCKing, you can get a short list of important commands by typing 'commands'.

```
 
```

        If you'd like a character, you can page a wizard who's on duty -- they're listed by typing 'wizzes' -- or if none are available, send an email with the name you want and some information about your character to     character@spindizzy.org    and if there's no difficulties, the persona will be created.  It's highly recommended to take look around SpinDizzy and talk to other residents before requesting a character.

```
  
```

        If you *have* a character and would like automated help setting it up, or re-setting it, you may wish to try typing the 'setup' command from here.  You can get help finding a home by typing 'homefinder',  or type 'homefinder #help' for more options.

```
  
```

        If you need help, try paging helpstaff or a wizard (type 'helpstaff' or 'wizzes' for a list of such people), or for basic help type 'commands'.

```

It's cool out, with a very light wind in the cloudless, sunless sky.  It feels like about 4 pm.

Welcome, seeker, to the Qualia Hoard of Voksa. The world will seem a much stranger place within, but rest assured, you are just as connected to reality as ever.

The items and interfaces here are moderately invasive- Perceiving many of them will affect other senses and modify subjective experience. These patterns have been thoroughly tested for safety, and are obscured enough to be difficult to connect to without trying.

```
 
```

(("out", "exit", and "leave" will always take you closer to back here- If you find a broken path, please inform me so I can fix it!))

```
 
```

((Most things are described. Try "look in"!))

```
 
```

((Many objects once you're inside have a command to represent their universal interface- For example, 'interface computer' or 'int computer'.))

2. Your MPI description is:
```

You see a vulpes with mostly snow white fluffy fur and giant black tipped fennec ears. This fox hybrid seems to be wearing a kind of exotic hat, probably to keep heat from being radiated out through those giant ears. They seem a bit out of place on an otherwise snow white arctic. There are faded grey markings on their snout that start at their eyes and stream down to their mouth and tyrian dashing lines of trim, geometric circuit trace patterns, inscribed with shapes-in-shapes, markings, and logotypes in an alien runic alphabet all over their body. You see a bushy black-tipped tail, fluffy black paw gloves with sharp white claws and pink pads. You swear to occasionally see small electrical sparks jump from the claws.

Ping squeaks, "I was just told your last several messages were "test test test test test", and Voksa blocked you when "you started actually spamming" them."

Ping squeaks, "Does that sound familiar at all?"

say My client doesn't let me know when people are online so I send test to see if I get a response from the IRC server saying 'Nick not found'. If I also send something and I don't hear any response back at all for a long time, I begin to question if there's some technical thing wrong with the computer so i'll send test messages

Ping squeaks, "Yeah, I'm familiar with how IRC works. Much more so than, say, discord..."

say i prefer XMPP which does have those things including offline messaging, but some places are elsewhere unfortunately

You yip, "i prefer XMPP which does have those things including offline messaging, but some places are elsewhere unfortunately"

Ping squeaks, "So, Voksa's disconnected here, for now, it sounds like they already had plans."

Ping squeaks, "It sounds like you know them much better than I do."

```
say why is that?
```
```
You yip, "why is that?"
```

Ping squeaks, "Because I haven't really had much in the way of direct, one-to-one conversations with them yet. Though I do appreciate their company here."

You yip, "I appreciate their creatations here"

say though i haven't had the chance of their company here, i've had elsewhere

say i'm not asking for anything bad to happen to them

You yip, "i'm not asking for anything bad to happen to them"

Ping squeaks, "Seems like a rather pleasant creature. That's why I'm a bit inclined to think this isn't as huge a deal as you might imagine."

say what I am asking Ping, is that they not treat me like a jerk here, whatever their reason is for doing the mean things they did elsewhere

You yip, "they act like it's a huge deal"

Ping squeaks, "Yeah, I feel like I'm only getting half the story here, obviously."

say I hope it is just a big misunderstanding, and if it is, my best hope is that we can resolve that misunderstanding and carry on without banishing me from various places like the observatory

You yip, "I hope it is just a big misunderstanding, and if it is, my best hope is that we can resolve that misunderstanding and carry on without banishing me from various places like the observatory"

say I am pretty hurt by what happened, and I didn't know Bismuthine well enough to possibly want to still be friends with them after this

You yip, "I am pretty hurt by what happened, and I didn't know Bismuthine well enough to possibly want to still be friends with them after this"

Ping squeaks, "So, it sounds like for the moment, the best thing to do is to try to avoid escalating the situation, and I'll hopefully have a chance to talk with him a bit more about this later. I got the impression he's decided he needs to write something to you, which may take a bit."

say whatever the impression is, i hope is not more absolute silence and exclusion and pretending like I or this issue doesn't exist

You yip, "whatever the impression is, i hope is not more absolute silence and exclusion and pretending like I or this issue doesn't exist"

say what i was saying Ping is that idk if i can still be friends with them after this still if it does get cleared up, but I do hope this great effort to exclude and ignore me stops

You yip, "what i was saying Ping is that idk if i can still be friends with them after this still if it does get cleared up, but I do hope this great effort to exclude and ignore me stops"

say thankyou ping for trying to resolve this

You yip, "thankyou ping for trying to resolve this"

say i'm sorry for dragging you into this

You yip, "i'm sorry for dragging you into this"

Ping squeaks, "Right."

The Rose Garden(#304RLCJ)
```

        The water fountain stands at the center of the Rose Garden,

a circular pond with cement funnels, water turned off for the fear of

ice.  From it, running in the cardinal directions, are twin avenues

covered in about six centimeters of snow; and surprisingly deep straits

of water that extend to the distance.  A light fog rises from the warm

water, condensation slowly eating away the snowfall.

```
        
```

        Bracketing the fountain and several curled benches the roses

grow, with the larger flowers still poking out from the white blanket

in concentric circles out to the trees.  A vertical orange wall with

notes sticking to it serves as the bulletin board, and a drinking

```
fountain offers something to sip on.  
```
```
        
```

        A light dusting of snow coats the benches and skims on the leaves of the rose bushes, and the bare branches of the oaks reach over the pathways, with the leaves heaped against their trunks.

     The sunless sky slowly turns orange and purple in the cool, still air.  It's getting on 5 pm in a sense.

[OOC] Ping has been learning some blender. Or at least trying to. Got as far as deciding that the only way she could possibly watch the youtube tutorials by "Blender Guru" is by downloading the videos, because advertising breaks every 5 minutes is simply intolerable.

```
look Endy
```
```
It's one them badgers!
```

He's not a terribly tall badger; only about five feet tall. He doesn't look terribly old, either; could easily be mistaken for an early-teen.

```
Starting from the top:
```

He sports hair! Spikey, blond hair that would make any anime series proud to have it. There's a sort of 'halo' of red tips smattered around the spikes, too. His face? Standard European badger markings of black on white, 'cept for the twin golden stripes running up his short muzzlebridge, between his cobalt blue eyes, and disappearing into his hair. Lightly peppering his cheeks are a few 'freckles' the same color as the golden stripes of his muzzle. There's almost always a little smile plastered to that face. Should you get a look at his teeth, they're almost impossibly white.

He's slender, but athletically built. There's no question that the weaselkin has a good amount of strength available to him. His arms are toned, his pawhands are rather large for his size and sport some wicked-looking, retractable claws on the end of each of his five digits. He also has some pale pink pawpads. They're more like hands than paws, but hey, pads are paddy!

He's wearing a black 'wife beater' shirt with a biohazard symbol on it. Shorts? Yes, those, too -- khaki cargo shorts that reach just below his knees. The strength continues down onto the boy's legs; toned and powerful. Big feets, too! Two'a them! With pawpads and claws.

If you wanted to start from the bottom... you're a perv. He does have a cute butt, though, and a long (for a badger), fluffy tail with those golden stripes coming together at the tip.

You see Jax Neurocyon, a female, Grey Foxtaur...

  The vixen's azure eyes glistening in the light.  Her steel grey fur is short and thick.  Rust red fur covers her fuzzy, pointed ears and borders her partly exposed, white anthro belly.  Just below her waist, her taur form begins, taking the shape of a large non-morphic fox.  Her body transistions from vertical to horizonal, as she stands upon a pair of strong forelegs and matching hind legs.  A narrow, black stripe leads from her neck, down her grey anthro then taur back, to her black tail tip.

  A felt cowboy hat adorns her head.  The hat provides two holes on the sides to accommodate her fuzzy ears, and a blue band accents the crown and retains a small Ace of Hearts to the side.  Continuing down to her torso, a plaid, button-up shirt hangs loosely over her foxy form, covering her modest chest.  Then draped over her taur-back is a blue saddle blanket, which is embroidered with a pattern of falling leaves in green thread.  The blanket is secured to her back by a simple, trail saddle, which has a cyan seat and a black body.  A steel canteen with a synthetic leather holder and a small, brown bag are secured to opposite sides of her saddle.  Finally, a small, blue bow is tied to the base of her fluffy tail.

  She often looks around her, with a gleaming smile, and her tail sways behind her, swishing back and forth to it's own beat.

The Rose Garden(#304RLCJ)

        The water fountain stands at the center of the Rose Garden,

a circular pond with cement funnels, water turned off for the fear of

ice.  From it, running in the cardinal directions, are twin avenues

covered in about six centimeters of snow; and surprisingly deep straits

of water that extend to the distance.  A light fog rises from the warm

water, condensation slowly eating away the snowfall.

```
        
```

        Bracketing the fountain and several curled benches the roses

grow, with the larger flowers still poking out from the white blanket

in concentric circles out to the trees.  A vertical orange wall with

fountain offers something to sip on.

PrismaCola! It's time for bottled sunshine!

Yep, this is a colorful vending mchine, built in a somewhat antique style with a heavy metal case, curved front and a dome top, though the front is transparent to show the merchendise within. A PrismaCola logo is seen on top with a blue swish-line underneath it, the line parting into a festive eruption of spirals and curved lines. The machine itself is green painted with blue lights lighting the interior, a rainbow of colored stripes running down the interior where a uniform set of glass soda bottles contrast with a variety of addon packets and vials.

There's only one PrismaCola because there only needs to be one. What brings out the flavor is the selection (l machine's selection) of delicious radioactive isotopes available to go with it; when mixed, PrismaCola takes on a flavor and color of glow signature to that isotope, absorbing the material in the process! And for those with more natural tastes, mixing PrismaCola with your neurological agent of choice will cause it to gel into flavorful jam, allowing it to be spread on any food you desire. Just drop in a coin and punch in the combo (get cola [flavor]) to get a bottle of your own!

There's even a 'secret' flavor, aquired by neutron-activating an otherwise plain PrismaCola. Just put your bottle next to an active nuclear reactor for a while or in view of a nuclear bomb flash. When it glows bright blue, it's ready for you! And as the vendor's gift to the customer, in the event of nuclear apocalypse, all machines near a crater will dispense this flavor for free to all patrons so long as inventory remains!

the nose, with a bunch of square yellow fruits for the eye mask.

        The snout wriggling confirms this is no cake rendition of Austin

You take a look at the squirrel.  At first, he looks pretty much like an ordinary Eastern Gray Squirrel, with the usual fluffy tail, as long as the rest of his body, curled up in a horseshoe shape.  The short fur is, for the most part, gray, but fades to a reddish-brown hue around the eyes and legs, and is white on the chest.

After closer inspection, you notice a pair of wings on his back, situated much like those on a gryphon.  The wings are mostly gray, with reddish-brown accents around the wingtips.  Unlike a sugar glider, the wings allow this squirrel to actually *fly*, though he's a bit bad at steering due to having a regular squirrel tail.  Most of the time, he keeps the wings against his back unless he's actually flying, but if he's running downhill, he'll occasionally open them to glide.

Atop his head is a tiny pair of glasses, modified slightly to hook around squirrel ears.  There is also a drawstring bag with straps; he usually wears it on his back when scampering around, flipping it around to his chest when he needs to access the contents.  Both items are in the same shade of reddish-brown that accents his fur.

Today the squirrel is wearing a form-fitting pink T-shirt with a purple silhouette of a squirrel on it.

As you look at the squirrel, his tail twitches a bit.  Noticing your gaze, he looks back and chitters a greeting, waving his tail.

This post is protected from expiration.
```
```
Subject: Anti-Idlers
```
```
 
```

Some of you have, at some point, received a warning that the MUCK server has possibly detected an anti-idler on your connection.  The warning is then followed up by a forced disconnection.  Please be aware that the wizards do get a notice when this happens, and that we do talk to people who frequently get that warning.  While it's not serious, we still consider it important to fix the problem and help everyone enjoy SpinDizzy even more.

```
  
```

If you're finding yourself being kicked off by the anti-idler detector or even frequently idling out, you may want to consider staying off SpinDizzy to sleep or nap, focus on work, or do whatever it is that's keeping you from being on here.  Your friends here will appreciate knowing that when you are online, you're actually available to talk and play, and you'll enjoy feeling less detached and more involved in all the fun that goes on.

```
  
```

If you are using an anti-idler due to a connection issue, fluffy has written a nice program anyone can use that is not an anti-idler and therefore allows the idle timeout to work properly.  Please see 'cread 89' for details.  Several residents are successfully using it already.

```

Also, for those of you running events, you can request for any helpstaff or wizard to set the idle timeout much higher than it normally is, to keep spectators from having to reconnect several times over the course of the event.

```

Claude is a semi-anthro cat, with white fur and striking green eyes. He's maybe 3 feet tall when standing upright, though his height seems to vary as needed (cats are flexible, you know). Also, he seems equally content walking on all fours.

He's wearing a loose navy blue overcoat with golden stripes on the sleeves and collar, and two rows of shiny brass buttons. The coat is open in front -- thick fur on his belly keeping him modest -- and allows his tail to move freely.

A white combination cap sits on his head, rather floppy in shape and with a crest depicting an anchor into a cloud.

Carrying: Night cap, squeaky toy, LunaStar Amulet, and Surreal Contraption

```

A surreal contraption with brass pistons and knobs. It looks like either a gun, a camera or a hair drier, depending on how you look at it.

Subject: How to idle safely without making an idle timer

```
 
```

Many people use idle timers specifically because they have issues with

their network connection idling out due to inactivity.  This is an

unfortunate reality of how many modern networking devices work.

However, using anti-idle timers isn't very nice for a number of

reasons.  So, here's a way to fix it so that most connections won't

```
drop!
```
```
 
```

Just copy-paste these two commands into your MUCK client (make sure

that each one of them stays on a single line):

```
 
```

@set me=_msgmacs/showtime:{if:{awake:me},{date} {time}{null:{if:{prop:_timePID},{kill:{prop:_timePID}}} {store:{delay:60,{lit:{showtime}}},_timePID}}}

```
 
```
```
@set me=_connect/nokill:&{showtime}
```
```
 
```

That's it! This will install a hook where if you connect, it will start

aprocess where once a minute it tells you the current date and time, so

your network stack won't drop, and even if it does, you'll know it's

dropped instead of just sitting there waiting for someone to say

```
something!
```
```
  
```

If you want to start it up right away, just do:

```
  
```
```
@mpi {showtime}
```
```
  
```
```
and if you want to stop it, just do:
```
```
  
```
```
@mpi {kill:{prop:_timePID}}
```
```
 
```

And, if you want it to stop happening every time you connect, just do:

```
 
```
```
@set me=_connect/nokill:
```
```
 
```

If you get distracted by the constant display of the date and time, you

can replace the "{date} {time}" with whatever you want, although it has

to show something for this to work. That "something" could be a line

that you filter out, though, such as ->PING<- that you then gag client-

side. (Be sure you gag the exact string, so you don't gag Ping!)

```
  
```

And if you want to change the interval, you can replace the 60.

```
 
```
```
Done.

In front of you is a rather bizarre little critter. At first appearances,

sie appears to be a squirrel, yet sie doesn't have any fur. Instead

of fur, hir 'skin' is smooth and shiny and somewhat translucent.

Hir latex body is mostly brown in color with other markings

apparently painted on. Looking closely, you can see hir body is

almost completely empty, except for a heart-shaped balloon

floating inside. On hir tummy is a little vinyl patch where sie

```
has been repaired in the past.
```

You can see hir bob a little and realise that sie is floating just off

```
the ground.
```

Hir skin squeeks slightly as sie turns to meet your gaze was

deep blue eyes that appear to be painted in the squirrel-balloon's

face. Sie lets out and strange giggle, that seems to echo around

hir entire body. Sie bobs over to you and nudges against you

with a little squeek. Sie smiles again and swishes hir balloon

```
tail happily.

        This is a great, sweet cake, a dense golden-brown sweet food, in

the shape of a streamlined funhouse-mirror reflection of a raccoon.  The

crust shows what comes within: walnuts, pecans, currants, jellied fruits

of many colors.  Large green orbs make the eyes, and a cherry the tip of

the nose, with a bunch of square yellow fruits for the eye mask.

```
        
```

        The snout wriggling confirms this is no cake rendition of Austin

but the real coati.  His claws are little candy canes set into his paws.

His tail makes rings out of the inset lighter and darker fruits.  And as

another curious touch, his tail has doors outlined in fondant.  Each one

bears a number, 1 through 24, written faintly across its center.

Picnic grounds (N4 E7)
```

      A light but chilly breeze blows out of the northeast, rustling the brown leaves on the tall trees that surround the clearing and sending some of them drifting down the the ground.  A peaceful calmness fills the crisp autumn air whenever the breeze dies down, the only persistant sounds being from the trickle of the creek that runs along the eastern edge of the clearing, punctuated by the calls from crows or ravens overhead, and by the crunch of leaves underfoot.

      Several picnic tables are scattered around this leaf-covered clearing, though they don't appear to get much use during this time of year.  Near the center of the clearing are three wooden benches arranged in a circle around a stone-lined firepit.  A small picnic shelter constructed of stone stands in the northwest corner of the clearing, beside which firewood is stacked and large, rusty barbacue grill set up in front. There is a bat shelter to the northeast, beside the creek.

      Away to the north just outside the picnic area, the it becomes a bit overgrown, though the foliage is brown and dry. To the west it is more wooded, and you see several large boulders amongst the trees.

        Twilight causes stars to just barely peek through, the wind picking up in the cold air.  It feels like 8 pm.

Proving Grounds
```

Out here Patashu's latest designs are not just quality checked, but put to the test. The outdoors landscape is potmarked, cratered and lined with various signs of activity and battle - every so often, it needs to be resurfaced after some extensive conflict. In the distance, various towering buildings can be seen - specialized towards holding and testing various designs and environments. One-off prototypes and whole series are brought out here for testing - and sometimes, mechanical 'environments' are set up here, to independently create their own designs, and allow the strongest to rise to the top.

look Thea
```

The short reptilian snout, the prominent canines giving her an almost fangy grin, the fin-ears reminiscent of dragons, the row of spines down her draping tail, her slit-pupil eyes all but glowing amber; all said, this creature might look like something one would expect to encounter delving a dungeon or such. That she's healthy and to an extent sturdy looking might even let her be a bit imposing rather than simply ominous. Yet, though she's comfortable around friends, she tends to carry herself with a shy demeanor if not standoffish at times. In a way, this might make her seem even more like a dungeon critter though she does try to be polite, whenever she actually talks.

At least for lack of horns and scales as well as her plantigrade feet, she won't be mistaken for an over-sized kobold. Her skin shows desert colors, a light sandy brown with curving blotches of pale tan, her belly and the bottom of her tail lightening to the latter as well with the membranes of her ear fins closer to white. Her claws are plain, kept trimmed and dull though the spines of her tail definitely look pointy. As well, she has a pair of subtle pits on her snout behind and below her nostrils, viper style, her eyes as well suited to dark conditions.

She tends to dress simply if practically, a pair of khaki cargo pants, black boots or tennis shoes depending on if she anticipates rough terrain, and a lightly colored tee shirt, often white or light grey. She'll usually be wearing sunglasses if outside, a backpack and canteen worn along with a utility knife at her side if she's venturing afar.

[OOC] Patashu says, "aha. funny how different the reactions are between 'understands mucking' and 'how bad could it be'"

[OOC] Agris says, "can somebody please paste me?"

Chevesh has, against all other odds, been making swift time around the circumference of the central area on a path toward where she spotted Thea's solar collector and the drone traveling out of bounds. Once she hears the alarm indicating she's been detected, her hide stiffens, raising her hackles as she risks ducking into the gap around the building immediately, circling around it on padding paws to come around and pad up behind the drone that's coming out to try and get a bead on her. Shadowing it quietly for several moments, allowing its investigation to run its course as she stays opposite its detection elements. She's unlikely to detect the transmissions between drones at all, but her senses are quite keen, even without being augmented beyond normal leopard senses. And she'll notice one flying drone breaking normal behavior and rising up into the air in the distance. Especially as focused on tracking their movements as she has been, and as wary of their lines of sight as she's been, even up to now. Glancing back to the 'bot she's shadowing nervously, she looks back to the ascending drone, rapidly gaining altitude enough to spot her past all buildings. Her jaw tenses as her teeth clench, ears folding back as her hide ripples. Obviously, that must have been the drone she saw flying out of bounds. Thea must have copied one of them somehow. Perhaps it's holographic, or perhaps she just hacked it. Either way, that moment of tension is followed by a sigh and a relaxing as she experiences a familiar euphoric feeling of 'fuck it.' The same one that happens eventually, every time she tries to be stealthy. Reaching out to tap the drone on the 'shoulder,' she slips the other direction, seeking to slip past it as she starts to make a beeline for the ground directly below that ascending drone. No more worrying about lines of sight for sake of not being detected, only performing evasive maneuvers as she seeks to beat the clock to the punch, ducking and weaving to always try and have physical structures between her and the robots

( she's surely beginning to pull in her wake. )

[OOC] Patashu says, "'a familiar euphoric feeling of 'fuck it.'' I love it"

[OOC] Chevesh says, "Chevy is fueled by 'fuck it.'"

( Aaaand, sure enough... Thea's high overhead drone will rawr and chirp cutely as it transmits its bead on Chevesh's location to the rest of the drone network. No getting around it - intruder on the premises! The tank drone you tap on the 'shoulder' rawrs? and spins around to open fire - but you're already darting out of sight. Those treads whirr up as it chases after you, but you can move faster and stick to cover. But every drone near your location is now scrambling to make its way over to you - quadcopter dragon-faced drones hovering visibly overhead, moving in range to pelt you with shotgun blast. Dragon-headed tank drones skidding out from around building entrances they're guarding to try to skim you with machine gun fire as you race past. Their individual behaviours are easy to keep track of, outmaneuver and dart past - but there's a fair number of them, and you don't know all of their locations until you see or hear them. )

Thea sees Chev making her move. At the altitude she's at... well, she's seen Chev move before, so she knows it's not the guarantor of safety it normally would be. However, she does not evade. She pre-emptively trains the drone's shotgun (thinking of it, who puts shotguns on a flier?) downwards, expecting Chevesh to make a rocketing move upwards... or, she muses, forwards, towards her. Having equipped herself and her lizards, the lost one now replaced, she decides to dig in and stand her ground. She recalls the snooper back towards her, though it probably won't reach her in time. This leaves her with three; she orders one over the ridge and up to a vantage point, cloaking it, using it to watch for anything approaching over land or up high. The other two she positions at the basewards wall inside the crater, hidden from view of anyone on approach, their back-guns ready. Thea herself sits between them, lowering to sit just below the ridge, curling her tail about herself. She huffs nervously; it might be hard to notice her newly restored biological limitations when she's so kitted up, but this is one case where it shows; she has trouble keeping watch of the feed through her interface -and- what's immediately around her at the same time. Nonetheless, she fishes for one of those grenades, pulling it out, pulling the pin but keeping the lever held down, waiting to huck it over the ridge of the crater should she see a cat projectile-rushing towards her.

Patashu puts shotguns on a flier. It's not even in the top 50% of Patashu's Bad Ideas List and he was sleep deprived, give a dragon a break zwz

Dawnwing with shotguns would be shotguns-on-a-flier!

Chevesh has no intention of actually attacking that rising drone. Not that she actually could right now. She's fast, no lie, ducking and weaving between buildings, but only 36 miles per hour at her utmost extreme currently. A far cry from the speed she could be pulling out in a best case scenario, and all while on all four paws, her body stretching out far with every bound to set her forepaws as far ahead of her as she can and chew up the distance in large strides. She's not aiming to attack the flier, because she's got an army at her back now... just not one directly under her control. And one she has to be very wary of, as sprays of pellets impact the buildings around her, and linked sets of machine-guns tear ragged stitches through the surroundings around her. Her approach is not subtle. It's heralded by gunfire and shredding scenery, as it should be. But even so, the air behind her is sometimes filled with enough uncaring lead that probability is not on her side. A spray of buckshot rebounds off of a nearby wall to sink into her hide at one point... enough to draw many points of blood, but not enough to penetrate through her hid itself after the glancing blow. She's doing her best to interject buildings between herself and the gunfire, to cut lines of sight as much as possible, but she's quite literally beset on from all sides at once. Still, she doesn't slow down. Once her cover was well and truly blown, she decided to try and race ahead of the consequences, and draw her opponent into the wash of those repercussions as well. If they're going to be shooting at her, then why not make it worth something to her advantage? When she reaches the far fence, she abandons ground-level and leaps to the top of a nearby building, then turns and vaults up the side of a guard-tower to pull herself into it, being momentarily shredded by wood and metal shrapnel as one side of the nest explodes inward, drawing blood from her skin with it as it shreds past her side... but she looks outward from on high, seeking her ultimate target,

( and still somewhat holding out hope that events will transpire to still allow her to catch and chew on her quarry personally. Though, that's looking less likely with every passing moment. )

```
[OOC] Patashu says, "Oh No"
```

[OOC] Thea says, "'as it should be'. Nice!"

( What the drone army is doing at this point needs no further introduction - as Chevesh races and leaps out of the base's fence via guard tower, her pursuers are racing onwards in full force. And Thea might find that there's a problem - While she has a back door into the drone network via her overhead drone, she does not have COMPLETE control. Her drone can try to tell the others about targets or to stand down, but they also individually see with their own sensors that Thea is in the distance near the base - and is now actively using force against drone base territory, with that grenade explosion. As quadcopters and treaded drones emerge and look for targets, they'll now consider Thea an enemy too. )

[OOC] Patashu says, "(making the assummption that it was Thea's grenade that made the explosion in the guard-tower - if it was something different and Thea hasn't actually aggressed yet, then don't mind that part... YET)"

[OOC] Patashu says, "(in any case, they'll still be shooting in Chevesh's direction, and that may as well soon become Thea's direction too, as I understand)"

[OOC] Chevesh says, "Oh, no, I was assuming it got shredded by gunfire, mostly shotgun blasts."

[OOC] Chevesh says, "I wasn't gonna put words in Thea's mouth about how she attacks."

[OOC] Patashu says, "That makes more sense, alright. I think my intent is clear either way~"

[OOC] Chevesh says, "But yeah, I'm basically burning my candle at quadruple speed in order to bring the line of fire right toward Thea. I can't fight the whole base in bio leopard mode. I figured, if I didn't describe it properly, that she can barely even stay ahead of it and can't perfectly avoid it. She can't outrun bullets, and cover is disappearing at an alarming rate."

[OOC] Thea says, "Thea did not throw the grenade; she's expressly holding it in reserve. However at this point, it would make sense for Chev's heat to spill over towards Thea."

[OOC] Patashu says, "But yeah, this is an entertaining hunt for all the wrong reasons - instead of the two players duking it out in the base, Thea went 'aha, I have no reason to go into the base, so I shant' and then Chevesh goes 'OK, I'll bring the base to you then'"

Thea sees what she'd hoped not to: Chev kiting the -entire flipping horde- towards her. With them directing attention her way, having now associated all her suspicious behavior with Chev's deeds and her earlier shenanigans with a lizard drone. Still, though she's only half as fast as Chev is, she has a fair distance lead; she -does- toss her grenade at this point, hoping that the imminent explosion will deter the oncoming foes at least somewhat as she hastily scrambles up the other side of the crater, hoisting herself up the ridge before booking it, aiming back with her dart-railgun to fire more shots behind herself, hoping she gets lucky enough to gain some new converts, or possibly even hit Chev herself with it! She might be biological now, but she is still enhanced, with much better stamina than- THWAP! A bullet that had missed Chevesh instead happens to fly on just the right path to hit Thea's leg! She earns a new experience, feeling what may as well be a warhammer slamming into the back of her leg as a chunk of lead enters the back of her thigh and stops inside of the front of her leg. She's endured all sorts of abuse as a robot, and had felt the simulated experience of being shot before, but never was actually subjected to the real thing as an organic until now. Perhaps in a way it isn't as bad as one might expect, but it still drops her to the ground as her leg's musctulature all but detonates along a trail of hydrostatic shock. And the way an organic body acts when struggling through damage is markedly different than a synthetic one. She has a moment to appreciate this interesting new combination of sensations before her body's escape-the-large-predator responses grant her some mobility, though she's plainly still knocked for a loop, sort of hop-limping awkwardly and whimpering a bit as she tries to use her tail to keep upright- no. No more running at this point. She lets herself collapse again... to present a narrower profile, going prone, taking more focused shots to try to nanite-dart Chev and, don't f

Thea-- don't forget those two lizards hiding in the crater! If Chev crosses the crater or passes near enough, they'll spring their own surprise of gunfire aimed right at Chev!

[OOC] Thea hugs! I thank you, Patashu, and a very long list of others for all the RP experience I've had to reach that point. And! The lizards aren't particularly big; their back guns would be pistol sized usually, so they'd be firing basically 9mm hollowpoints. The nanites actually wouldn't do much up front but cause a lot of awkward pain and make it very obvious that Chev's been hit with nanites, more in an attempt to make Chev flip out and panic such that the base bots can better catch up to her.

```
look Dawnwing
```

What stands here is an hefty example of a Charizard - or, at least, sie -started- as a Charizard, and has since become more. No mere biped at all, this one has evolved into a more taurish form - an amply curved anthro upper body rests atop a stocky draconic quadrupedal form.

```
 
```

Hir anthro portion has five heads instead of the one most would expect hir to have. A bit over seven feet tall at the 'waist,' and twelve feet at the anthro-shoulders, hir heads rise above on long, graceful necks. Each head is identical - a somewhat boxy draconic muzzle and visage, a pair of horns rising backwards from just behind the head's eyeridges and sky-blue predatory eyes. Sie doesn't carry hirself like a predator, though. Hir eyes often lend hir a bright and cheery air instead!

```
 
```

Hir multiplicity continues - sie has three sets of arms, each hand sporting a quartet of clawed digits. Hir chest is also home to cleavage - three sets of it, and they're all very generously sized. Hir scales are much more fine around the areolae. Hir belly's a bit on the large side and hir forehips are wide, held up by forefeet with claws bigger than those on hir hands, their four toes arranged so that sie can use them as grasping limbs as well, if sie has to.

```
 
```

Hir taur body is about fifteen feet long from foreshoulders to rump, and is even more well-padded than hir upper portion is. 'Pear-shaped' comes to mind, with hir rump rising up above hir anthrobody's waist at eight feet off the ground while standing. Behind hir forelimbs a pair of large, leathery dragonwings are anchored; blue on the insides of their sails and orange everywhere else. Sie's endowed here, too - between hir forelegs rest a quintet of heavy sheaths with tapered pink tips occasionally visible poking out their ends. Just behind the sheaths lie a set of five female vents.

```
 
```

Between hir hindlegs, things are even bigger - and in some cases, more numerous. Sheaths come in two sets of five, one behind the other. The second set visibly contains more shaft tips, suitably upsized for the hindsheaths' greater size, but the shapes within the first set are different. A peek inside one might show what looks like the snout of a very large snake - viperish and scaled with the same sort of orange hide that covers the majority of hir form. Sie also carries ten immense testes in a common sac, their soft weight pressing against the ground beneath hir when sie stands upright. A quintet of vents rests behind hir sac, suitably more cavernous than those up front.

```
 
```

Sie has five tails, each one thick and about as long as hir entire lower body, smoothly tapering down to a point on which Charizard's signature tailflame burns brightly.

Chevesh doesn't get the best look, as her guard tower is shredded by gunfire, sending splinters and shrapnel casting off of it as her little nest gets progressively demolished. So she doesn't spend more than a few moments in it, barely enough time to take cover and get a good look, before she's already vaulting out of it, buoyed by waves of tracking bullets just a moment behind. As she's still in free-fall, the detonation of Thea's grenade lights the surroundings up, expanding in a wave of shrapnel and casting out an expanding ring of red sand and debris from the base of the guard tower, opening up a wide hole in the perimeter fence and causing the tower itself to buckle and topple. Chevesh herself is caught in the expanding blast on her way down, kicking her forward and to the side as a series of punctures rip through her skin, causing her to topple heavily to the sand, coming up with a mixture of sand and blood caked over her injuries. But she can't linger long, and a strong sense of desperation lifts her to her paws, against the slowly ebbing throb of pain that begins to filter through the shock of the moment, her internal simulation screaming at her about blood loss and trying to fight against her to dampen the reach of her limbs and the speed of her movements. The tugging of her skin shoots agony directly into her temples as it pulls at the wounds, but she sets her ears back and buckles forward, drawing up her paws and kicking up sand despite it all as she thrusts herself forward through the seeping blood in her vision. With lead whistling around her at her back and thumping into the faux desert, she dives forward into the shelter of the pit, seeking reprieve... and being surprised by a round through her shoulder following a deafening crack, whipping around and missing the second impact by chance as she curls her lips back and roars at the lizards... but rather than attacking them, she's up and over the side, dashing off after Thea with a pained growl choking in her throat, eyes set and skin straining with the mis

You whisper, "oh, I'm sure we could figure something out. I'm not at a fixed size either, so something can be arranged if trying anyways doesn't work out" to Dawnwing.

( mistaken assumption that the flexing of her muscles is driving her forward. But it never will be. The drive is in her bones, though she buckles and jerks at the oncoming needle-projectiles, hissing and jerking as they sink into her skin. She doesn't understand the threat, just yet... she's yet to feel the crawling in her skin. There's only room enough for so much sensation at once, and another pair of rounds drive into her back with splashes of blood as she bears down on Thea, though her steps start to slow, and her movements become haphazard and jerking. Amusingly, the cat's own body probably provides her with cover from the oncoming robot horde, for as long as it stands. )

( Did you remember that some of the aerial drones came equipped with smoke grenade launchers? Well, if you didn't, here's your reminder! A round gets launched into the center of the crater... PSSHHEWWWW! Exploding and expanding into a blinding, choking pillar of gas as it rises. The base's perimeter floods with all nearby treaded and hovering bots, invariably making 'rawr' and 'grrrarrr' noises with their tinny speakers as they float in closer - the spread of machine gun fire inaccurately hurtling into the distance, towards where Chevesh and Thea are in the crater. And it won't be many seconds after that before shotgun bearing aerial drones come in closer to deliver buckshot to whomever they see first. Hell, Thea's lizard-drones might even be caught in the crossfire, just as likely to be shot incidentally as anything else right now. )

Adding Dawnwing to your permanent watchfor list.

Thea looks to Chevesh with a hint of incredulity, a hint of... no, not horror. Admiration. Chevesh is full of holes, leaking like a sieve, and yet she keeps going. -That- is the kind of durability Thea hopes to manage some day! Thea's own drones aren't particularly smart on their own, and she's in no position to command them; once they get smoked, they're pretty well, well, smoked, by the first base bots that happen across them! But it doesn't matter. Thea's happy, in that odd delirious euphoria that comes from a cocktail of adrenaline and her own odd taste for misfortune as shock begins to grip her vitals. Not that it'll have time to find much purchase. If only the moment could last! She doesn't even shoot. As far as she sees it, Chev has earned her nomf. No, she gives a gift to Chev in fact, reaching over to pull the wire out of her revenge bomb, such that it won't go off. In retrospect, she shouldn't have done that anyway; posthumous surprise attacks are for actual enemies, not friends who just happen to be giving you the delight of a violent death! Still, if Chev manages to reach her, while Chev would be able to get a good bite in on Thea, Thea would try to grip Chevesh by the arms and return it with one of her own. Inevitably, either way, they're both likely to get dogpiled by the entire base robot team, blended into a mess of gore painting the red sands even redder after a hailstorm of lead.

Dawnwing whispers, "Dawnwing manygrins. The enormous testes within all slosh a little..." to you.

Chevesh's steps become more plodding as she approaches, her custom-built program screaming about blood loss and collapse of vital functions, all simulated. She continually fights against it to maintain consciousness and drive herself forward, only passingly making note of the countdown until forced shut-off of all control of her body and death. And with all of the blood lost for real, her skin died already, moments ago, though it still retains its vibrance for a short while yet. When she walks forward to stand over Thea, with the bright ringing sound of yet more errant rounds piercing the cloud of smoke to deflect off of her metal skeleton at oblique angles and tear bits of tattered skin along with them, she collapses down onto her heavily, head angled eagerly to close her jaws around the chimaera's throat. She's not supporting her weight anymore, coming to settle, but it doesn't stop her from projecting a deep rolling growl as her teeth puncture on either side of Thea's neck, vibrating in her flesh, a couple of gnawing bites to settle them as her tongue presses hard against the pulse in her jaws. The pulse, the breath, the beat against her tongue, far more important even than the rich coppery taste of blood. She can't do much more that that at the moment, as her consciousness itself is fluttering on the verge of shutdown. The countdown reaches two, and then one, and then she's gone... her body sagging still moments before the robots even arrive to fulfill their need to destroy all who encroach upon their territory.

( Sure enough, as the two combatants collapse together, biting down on each other as they slump and collapse, shots would be fired - THUMP THUMP THUMP BRRRTTT - gunfire billowing the hazy column of smoke outwards as it ripples through, drawing blood and sending it flying in trails. But with both Thea and Chevesh losing consciousness, collapsing and not firing back, the gunfire will be shortlived. Mission successful, intruders repelled, back to base! As far as their drone programming is concerned, they did *great* today. )

Thea's pulse in that final moment is frantic, too fast, adrenaline overwhelming her as she gags on her last breath. She'll only be able to get a bite at Chev's ears with a trembling, weakening grasp, but that's well enough. The ear-biter, paid in kind! She sheds a tear, from the pain, the shock, the thrilling horror of Chev's vibrating teeth digging into her most vital arteries; she remains with it just long enough to advance her experience of gunshots by the robots perforating her in short order, before it all piles up over a lack of bloodflow to finally part this instance of her from the world. Ah, she's gonna want her head back to recover that experience, what a moment! And indeed, hey, the prototype base-bots -did- do pretty well, and such will be reported once Thea's gathered herself enough to file one. Only when working with Thea and Chevesh would swiss-cheesing your evaluator be a good way to get a passing score!

[Thea just looked in your direction! (female chimeric creature)]

```
look Thea
```

The short reptilian snout, the prominent canines giving her an almost fangy grin, the fin-ears reminiscent of dragons, the row of spines down her draping tail, her slit-pupil eyes all but glowing amber; all said, this creature might look like something one would expect to encounter delving a dungeon or such. That she's healthy and to an extent sturdy looking might even let her be a bit imposing rather than simply ominous. Yet, though she's comfortable around friends, she tends to carry herself with a shy demeanor if not standoffish at times. In a way, this might make her seem even more like a dungeon critter though she does try to be polite, whenever she actually talks.

At least for lack of horns and scales as well as her plantigrade feet, she won't be mistaken for an over-sized kobold. Her skin shows desert colors, a light sandy brown with curving blotches of pale tan, her belly and the bottom of her tail lightening to the latter as well with the membranes of her ear fins closer to white. Her claws are plain, kept trimmed and dull though the spines of her tail definitely look pointy. As well, she has a pair of subtle pits on her snout behind and below her nostrils, viper style, her eyes as well suited to dark conditions.

She tends to dress simply if practically, a pair of khaki cargo pants, black boots or tennis shoes depending on if she anticipates rough terrain, and a lightly colored tee shirt, often white or light grey. She'll usually be wearing sunglasses if outside, a backpack and canteen worn along with a utility knife at her side if she's venturing afar.

[OOC] Thea ponders, I hear you also do these hunts, Agris?

Chevesh, indeed, will lie still for some time, riddled with holes and tears. Her leopard skin is in ruins, many parts of it hanging over exposed metal framework beneath, her gleaming skeleton slick with a sheen of red blood. It will be several minutes before she moves again, preceded by a few of her structural rods separating and being ejected to clatter free of her skin and onto the ground. When she finally does rise from Thea's body, it's as a tatterdemalion of torn flesh and metal structure. She looks down at Thea's body for several moments, kneeling and absently reaching up to tear the remains of her skin off and cast it aside. Then she leans down and gives a kiss to the end of the chimaera's muzzle, petting her fondly. "I hope you get a new one of these very soon." She says in a much different voice, as she cleans herself off enough to eventually accept a new, clean skin. "I'd really hate to lose you the only one available."

[OOC] Agris says, "Chevesh, we still have that hunt to do in the cyber forest"

Chevesh eventually gets the last of her old skin off, and calls in a new one, re-clothing herself as a leopardess. Then she scoops up Thea's body, and carries her off of the battlefield to rest nearby, not really minding that she's getting blood on her new clean skin. Not that she's ever really minded blood. In her own mind, being painted in blood only makes her feel more beautiful. And there's worse blood to wear than that of a dear friend. "Goodnight, Thea." She purrs warmly. "You were very clever, and very resourceful... and frankly, I think you won. You deserve it."

Chevesh rises and walks over to Patashu, hugging him warmly and purring. "Goodnight, Patashu... thank you very much for helping with this."

Patashu hugs back with a rumblepurr. "Of course. A very entertaining hunt tonight. See you tomorrow."

Thea will take a few moments for another one of her selves to show up, but eventually, her usual response to a death does, her vultury gryphon self gliding down, circling her own body before setting down as Chev sets her other self down. She steps forward, gently pulling Chevesh into a hug. "One nice thing about the organic body: cloning's cheap. That looked like a real delight, and I look forward to pulling the memory in. Thanks for that." She nosenoses her beak against Chev's cheek, then lets go. "And goodnight." She gapegrins. "I had another present I planned to give you too, though it kinda pales in comparison to the one we shared. I'll give it to you tomorrow I guess. Sweet dreams!"

```

[OOC] Agris says, "Thea, why do you ask?"

Chevesh laughs. "Oh, no, I really ought to think of something." She rumbles bashfully, accepting and hugging vulture-Thea in return... and parting with a warm rumbling bite along the top of her beak. "I hope you rest well, when you do, too. Pass that along to all of you for me."

Patashu's Personal Quarters(#29396RLJA)
```

While the base is constantly busy manufacturing and researching and testing and shipping and soforth, Patashu often desires to have a space of his own to work on personal projects or to have discussions with friends and associates. The quarters start with an open foyer of sorts - having a lounge and holographic computer systems, workbenches and scientific equipment and a table (with the company logo emblazoned in gold along its surface) that can be used for conferences, gaming and eating just as easily. (Of course, there are amneties for organic visitors - food, water, beds and all!) (Oh yes, and there IS a pile of 'cushions' and 'beanbags'.) From the holographic screens, all activity of the base can be monitored, and base databases/security feeds accessed. Off to one side, a personal hangar has a huge, rotary rack of different robotic parts and even alternate bodies that can be swapped into and out of, as well as a maintenance system with automated scaffold lined with robotic arms. Kobolds clean, maintain and can be called upon for any necessary task. Posters and blueprints line many of the walls, some of them of products the base builds, some of them gaming related or based on legendary mecha, and the noise of the surrounding base is (mostly) dampened.

Among the Cushions, you see it is empty.

A young(ish) vixen.  Specifically, she is almost but not quite entirely like an Arctic fox, with a fluffy, snow-white pelt, long, black hair, blue eyes.  She stands at about five and a half feet, not counting her tail -- which apart from the inky black tip is as white as the rest of her, and at least as fluffy.

```
  
```

Presently she is dressed in an almost knee-length robe-like top and a pair of trousers of identical, soft (and fluffy, though not nearly as much so as her fur) material, a generic grey in color all over -- the sort of thing one might pick out when someone they didn't know needed *some* sort of clothes as an, if nothing else, functional concern.  She seems mature, and yet strangely lost and sometimes clumsy or uncoordinated in her movements, as though her body is a machine she's not entirely learned to operate.

Kandra, looking ... profoundly bewildered, and more than a little unsettled.  "Try wha--  Hey!  I barely -- I *don't* even know you!"  Her tail fluffs out, and she backs away a couple of paces further.  "...not being scared is what the *other* me would do!  Would have done?  I dunno--"  She blinks, looking around for help but only seeing Patashu there.

Kandra's ears splay out to the sides.  "...what?  ... Patashu, who *is* this?"

```
Patashu rumbles, "Agris!"
```

Kandra stares at Agris, tilting her head to one side, expression drifting slightly towards bewildered examination since she considers herself at a safe distance.  This doesn't *look* like the terrifying lynx woman from her second-party 'memories.'  But.  The existence of one such person, surely implies the existence of more than one such person, as a rule.  "Uh... and... who is that?"

[Patashu just looked in your direction! (neuter Big Plushsune)]

```
say and who are you fellow snowfox?
```

You yip, "and who are you fellow snowfox?"

```
look Patashu
```

It's big! It's soft! It's a Plushsune! He's a great, big, grinning thing, easily standing 9 feet tall. Starting from the top, he has a pair of big, pointed fox ears, each nearly a foot long. The both of them purple in color, with golden fuzz on the insides. Between the both of them, the plushsune sports a pair of golden, draconic horns, about as long as his ears and curving backwards. His face is a soft thing with a big, almost toony fox muzzle, ending in a big, golden nose. His eyes are plastic, the both of them an almost shiny golden color.

```
 
```

Moving down, his body has a soft, quite bottom heavy build to it. Much of his plush body is made with fuzzy purple fabric, though his chest covered with a large synthetic section, carefully made to look like golden, draconic scales. The plushsune's belly is likewise covered, not to mention quite overstuffed. It's a great, big, soft thing that sticks out far past his plush legs and nearly touches the ground. His arms are nice and thick things, each of them ending in an oversized mitt, golden in color to match his horns and scales.

```
 
```

Further down, the plushsune is as soft and thick as above, with his legs as thick and soft as his arms. They've got a simple, plantigrade build to them, with each of them ending in a VERY oversized plush paw, gold like his mitts. Simplified ones as well, with no separate toes, just black lines sewn in, making it look like they have a trio of toes. To finish off the fox, he sports seven Massive plush tails, each easily six feet long. They, like the rest of him, are soft and fuzzy and purple, save for each tail tip, where they end in a patch of soft, bright gold.

A young(ish) vixen.  Specifically, she is almost but not quite entirely like an Arctic fox, with a fluffy, snow-white pelt, long, black hair, blue eyes.  She stands at about five and a half feet, not counting her tail -- which apart from the inky black tip is as white as the rest of her, and at least as fluffy.

```
  
```

Presently she is dressed in an almost knee-length robe-like top and a pair of trousers of identical, soft (and fluffy, though not nearly as much so as her fur) material, a generic grey in color all over -- the sort of thing one might pick out when someone they didn't know needed *some* sort of clothes as an, if nothing else, functional concern.  She seems mature, and yet strangely lost and sometimes clumsy or uncoordinated in her movements, as though her body is a machine she's not entirely learned to operate.

```
look Volacris
```

        You see a strange insectoid creature, which looks like someone had magnified an insect to about human size. It has the general looks of a wasp, with a large vespine abdomen --- bulbous but pointed near the end --- and a set of thin wings on the back of its thorax. Yet its stance resembles that of a mantis: it has four thin legs to stand on sprouting from its thorax, and two arms to grab things with. As opposed to the raptorial arms of a mantis, the arms of this creature look similar to pincers. The insides are covered with sharp spikes. Despite looking fierce, the pincers are usually safely tucked away next to the elongated 'neck' sprouting from the thorax, behind the insectoid's head.

        Its head has a triangular shape, including a wide variety of mantis-like mandible pieces. Two antennae sprout from its head between its large compound eyes, elegantly curving back and upwards. The two eyes, however, are more spherical than those of a mantis. As light reflects off of the compound eyes, they shimmer a colorful star-shaped iridescent pattern, making it seem like the creature is constantly staring at the light source. But looks can deceive: these are merely pseudopupils. Nobody knows what the creature may be looking at right now.

        The insect moves in smooth, slow motions, its head twitching as it moves so as to stabilize its eyes. Its abdomen increases and decreases in size periodically, as it uses its abdomen to breathe. Occasionally, its head tilts, and the creature moves its front leg upwards to start nibbling on it. Its speech sounds like a series of chitters and clicks, and it has a rather insectoid sound quality. Even so, its communication is somehow perfectly understandable to you.

Patashu whispers, "I don't think Kandra is a troll so much as just... not in a good place mentally IRL, not much emotional energy/robustness, if that makes sense" to you.

        You see a strange insectoid creature, which looks like someone had magnified an insect to about human size. It has the general looks of a wasp, with a large vespine abdomen --- bulbous but pointed near the end --- and a set of thin wings on the back of its thorax. Yet its stance resembles that of a mantis: it has four thin legs to stand on sprouting from its thorax, and two arms to grab things with. As opposed to the raptorial arms of a mantis, the arms of this creature look similar to pincers. The insides are covered with sharp spikes. Despite looking fierce, the pincers are usually safely tucked away next to the elongated 'neck' sprouting from the thorax, behind the insectoid's head.

        Its head has a triangular shape, including a wide variety of mantis-like mandible pieces. Two antennae sprout from its head between its large compound eyes, elegantly curving back and upwards. The two eyes, however, are more spherical than those of a mantis. As light reflects off of the compound eyes, they shimmer a colorful star-shaped iridescent pattern, making it seem like the creature is constantly staring at the light source. But looks can deceive: these are merely pseudopupils. Nobody knows what the creature may be looking at right now.

        The insect moves in smooth, slow motions, its head twitching as it moves so as to stabilize its eyes. Its abdomen increases and decreases in size periodically, as it uses its abdomen to breathe. Occasionally, its head tilts, and the creature moves its front leg upwards to start nibbling on it. Its speech sounds like a series of chitters and clicks, and it has a rather insectoid sound quality. Even so, its communication is somehow perfectly understandable to you.

The insectoid's exoskeleton smells faintly like popcorn with honey.

[OOC] Agris says, "your pretty cool volacris, haven't seen too many insects before"

[OOC] Volacris smiles! "Thank you! And yeah, insects are a bit rare indeed."

Two kobolds sit on the top of a tarp-covered wheeled vehicle that rumbles as it moves through the area. Its contents jostle slightly with each bump and jolt.

```
bus
```

A sleek tram rushes around the corner at high speed with a startling sonic boom, stopping only at the last possible second to let you on.  You get an odd feeling as you step on...

```
Spindizzy Tram System
```

   Thick pale pink carpeting lays underfoot, the cabin of the monorail

pressurized by hidden vents whose hissing you can softly hear as you make

yourself comfortable, perhaps upon one of the nearby plush-upholstered swivel

chairs or soft modular sofas. The spacious tubular cabin of Patricia resembles

the shape of a grand aircraft and is richly decorated, with a cozy bistro at

one far end of the compartment, and a harpsichord lit by a baby spotlight at

another. There are no windows, but indirect lighting glows from panels high on

the walls. A chandelier dangles at the halfway point of the cabin's length,

pivoting gently in response to the light-speed motions of the tram.

```
  
```

   The engines wind to life and, as the floor thrums with their power, the

gentle cant of Patricia's automated voice sounds; the feminine voice first

soothing to the ears, but soon running off into a wild garble of high-pitched

garbling, sobbing, and crazed giggling that leaves you wondering if this

monorail is exactly the safest way around..

```
 
```

   "Welcome to Patricia. Praise the Imperium! Please make sure your

transit-card is available for collection and remember that false boarding is

a serious crime punishable by law. We hopehopeHOPE you enjoy your trip, but

not the faaallllll. ALL EXITS ARE NOW CLOSED. PLEASE STAY FOR THE SHOW. WHY

        The air feels cold in the dim, star-filled night and the wind is picking up.  It seems around midnight.

Agris requests Archway to Tesseract Apts.  The tram creeks loudly in it's place, before humming softly, as it powers up. "Destination set."

```

```

You try and leave Patricia, but she doesn't like that idea!  After some carefully chosen words, she lets you out via an exit.

```
Archway to Tesseract Apts
```

A broad archway separates Tesseract Gardens Apartments from the street outside. Set into each side is a small wrought iron gate with an engraved wooden sign: "Office" on the left and "Foyer" on the right. Through the arch is a tiny roofless patio lined with stone walls and filled by a delicate spiral staircase which rises out of sight. Bouganvilla twines along the banisters, reaching up toward the sunlight.

The air here is cool and quiet, regardless of the weather outside.

Garden Gazebo
```

This is a smallish open-walled hexagonal structure with white walls and dark green trim. Six arched entrances support the pointed roof, each one leading down to to a path through one of the many gardens. Someone has furnished the place with two tiny wrought-iron tables and four matching chairs, additionally six small benches pokes out of the corners at just the right height for sitting.

A ring of metal about a yard in diameter, surrounded by curlicue designs, has been inlaid into the center of the wooden floor.

Tucked away in one corner (perhaps you miscounted those benches) is a small spiral staircase leading up and down. Bouganvilla twines along its railings as well as the gazebo wall behind it.

        The air feels cold in the dim, star-filled night and the wind is picking up.  It seems around midnight.

Garden of Water
```

A circle of evergreens shelter this tiny clearing, their somber coloring contrasting with the brilliant green of the undergrowth. A tiny stream empties out into a placid pool covered in water lilies. Peeking in between their broad leaves, one might catch a glimpse of orange or yellow koi. A miniature waterwheel, barely three feet tall, turns lazily over a bend in the stream.

        The air feels cold in the dim, star-filled night and the wind is picking up.  It seems around midnight.

This hexagonal entryway is larger than it appears from the outside. The walls are painted dark blue, and a circular pale blue carpet covers the floor. Five plain doors in pale blue frames are set into the walls, each with a name or number on a plaque. The sixth doorway opens onto a small stairway leading down and an archway in the opposite wall leads out to a garden.

Living Room

You walk into the living room, and notice all the windows open, letting in the fresh sea air from outside. There is a stone fireplace built into the wall, the logs crackling as they burn. Also in the room is a 55" Projection TV across from a large, soft, emerald green couch. There is also a matching loveseat, and recliner, all very inviting. There is a wide, open corridor leading into the kitchen, and doors leading to the other rooms of the house. You can go out onto the beach through the sliding glass door.
