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'.
Clouds blot out the stars and snow drifts about in the wind as it falls. It seems to be about 10 pm.

Athares(Z)[Myril] pages, "The shout: ( Greetings, friends! The portal is open for those who wish to join an exploration of Xedwa's moon (t #32155). This site was pivotal in the last days of the world I knew; I expect there are several secret features present, and I have no way of knowing what may have become of them in the time since. As well, space will always remain a dangerous place to explore; be sure to come prepared. Fortunately I've brought several drones to help, and others are welcome to use them. )" to you.
t #32155
You feel a wrenching sensation...
Xedwa-56(#32155RLJ)
Behold, the lingering whispers of a dead past finally coming to rest: a scorched, dead landscape of craterized brown and grey marked by broken highways and scattered ruins, seas empty of all but drifting detritus and derelicts matching the grey of the quieting skies above. The cities sleep eternal on this world; there is no birdsong, no howls of the wilds, for nothing remains beyond the broken cities but the brown and black of burnt trees and ash-strewn fields, no sound at all but the sleepy, blank howl of the wind mingling with the patter of rainfall washing the last of the ashes away.
The lingering radiation around the craterized remains of military bases and large cities speaks the classic tale of apocalyptic rivalry and nuclear armageddon, but even globlal nuclear wars tend to leave something left, some patches of nature that can some day recover. This world couldn't have even been that lucky. Down to even the last microbe, there is simply no lifeforce left... Eventually, this planet will resume being one more barren lifeless rock among the countless many in the universe, the oddly regular patterns of shaped stone and corroded metal the only hints that complex life ever existed here at all. At least, fortunately, someone is now present to learn from these remains before they fade completely.
While there are scattered settlements, secluded towers, and the occasional odd lone building scatterred around this planet there were two unique and highly developed regions apparent from the remains at large. Across the breadth of a large southern continent, a spider's web of trench-highways and railroads weaves a tattered tapestry of former civilization, stretches of variously purposed buildings made of form-flowed stone likely by earth magic spanning along these paths rather than being clumped together in conventional cities, sub-paths branching out like branches on a tree. The abundance of varied banners and symbols suggests a diverse bunch of nations composed this tapestry, all interconnected with the largest of them occupying most of the hemisphere's temperate land and once commanding its largest ports. The presence of incredibly sophisticated golems along with vehicles and machines for every concievable task, grand artworks and abundant shopping venues, and the absence of any imposing control devices suggests this used to be a fairly comfortable region to live in.
To the north in regions still abundantly rainy is the heart of the other stretch, showing more conventional-looking cities albeit with circular polar street grids rather than square euclidean ones. Their larger buildings thus tend to be wedge-shaped towers, surrounding the three-sided glass-and-steel pyramids at the heart of their cities. Echoes of divine magic still linger omnipresently, a pyramid temple found at the heart of every city, the larger ones hosting multiple, with sun and cloud symbols absolutely everywhere. While there are shops and such about and the condominiums don't seem that unpleasant, the shelves seem a bit more plain, the city walls and coastal fortifications hinting at a more militaristic society. There are a variety of banners seen among the northern stretches too, though they all seem to share a golden sun symbol at the center.
Such is history, but what of the future? No longer does the sky bear a purple hue; the now-entirely-conventional thunder has been quieting down lately, the occasional gap in the clouds spilling sun rays through the gloom. The magic once polluting the world has been condensed and removed, a glowing green stretch of land bearing spires of twisted quasi-metal the last mark of mad magic on this world where a crashed starship once was. One last echo of that dying past had been ressurected from that wreck prior, bringing from it one last glimmer of life from the old world. Or perhaps a spark, beginning a new one? This world will soon be ideal for recultivation, though an interlude persists for now. Those last relics still await.

## There are possible hidden listeners here.
[OOC] Chevesh says, "I think the recap of last session is: we went to go check on Cinderglow's base, discussed where to go next. The moon base was an enticing option, even though there's not likely to be much left there."
[OOC] Chevesh says, "I think there were other options brought up besides the moon base, but I don't remember what those were."

Vahno has teleported in.

[OOC] Desmet says, "Surprise Guest!"
[OOC] Dawnwing says, "Chevesh went back later and partially trashed it :p"
[OOC] Chevesh says, "Oh, a guest! Thank goodness! Now we have true power on our side."
ooc I wanted to say I wouldn't be opposed to exploring the north if it meant having more rp sessions
[OOC] Agris says, "I wanted to say I wouldn't be opposed to exploring the north if it meant having more rp sessions"
[OOC] Dawnwing greets!
ooc when i advocated exploring the moon next i didn't realize that meant the end
[OOC] Agris says, "when i advocated exploring the moon next i didn't realize that meant the end"
[OOC] Chevesh says, "The only thing I trashed was a door! And I apologized for that."
[OOC] Desmet says, "This would be the 15th session, keep in mind. All good things must come to an end someday"
[OOC] Relee says, "Ahh yeah I was wondering about that, it sounds like I missed a session without realizing it. The last session I was here for ended with the dramatic cliffhanger reveal of Cinderglow, so I'm curious what happened after that?"
[OOC] Doppel says, "Also Doppel is still never NOT going to give you shit for wanting to hug the fusion core."
page Dawnwing=:blushingly coldwetnoses into your belly, "hello~ <3"
You page-pose, "Agris blushingly coldwetnoses into your belly, "hello~ <3"" to Dawnwing.
[OOC] Athares says, "I suppose if people really want to, though as mentioned, yeah, this has been going on for quite a while already. The place will still be here though, if others want to revisit another time"
In a page-pose to you, Dawnwing cuddles on you warmly! Rrrr~
[OOC] Athares says, "IIRC, there was a tense talk with Cinderglow that ended with Athares being welcomed to help Glow (and watch Glow to make sure nothing unfortunate was happening)"
ooc i just joined late and didn't have as many sessions. 15 wow that's a lot
[OOC] Agris says, "i just joined late and didn't have as many sessions. 15 wow that's a lot"
[OOC] Relee says, "I imagine in-canon this place will always be here, but the official RP might end."
[OOC] Chevesh says, "There's always the remains at the bottom of the ocean, too. But yeah, I think if we try to press it too far, we start begging for a situation where it's hard to come up with new things to do. And it's usually good to end a plot before that happens. When the ideas are still coming easily."
ooc whatever rp comes after this, I'd love to be told about and invited
[OOC] Agris says, "whatever rp comes after this, I'd love to be told about and invited"
ooc this was really fun with all of you
[OOC] Agris says, "this was really fun with all of you"
[OOC] Kandra says, "I mean there might be a slow-burn background thread with Athares passing through and chatting about the world-renovation every now and again, idk"
[OOC] Desmet says, "In general public RPs get posted on +read/rpread, Agris, so you can keep up that way"
[OOC] Chevesh says, "In the end, it comes down to Myril, and whether she feels like she still has interesting things to say about the setting."
[OOC] Athares says, "Just saying that if someone really wants to see something in particular, they can always go bug Athares for transit (or bring him with on theirs) to go visit later as a one-off. And Athares will be busy in the future. On Spindizzy, in fact. Remember that talk of rebuilding a desert town with Xedwan magitek?"
ooc but, if people get bored and it drags out for hours with nobody posting, i think it'd be better to call it early than wait for everybody to tire out
[OOC] Agris says, "but, if people get bored and it drags out for hours with nobody posting, i think it'd be better to call it early than wait for everybody to tire out"

[OOC] Chevesh says, "I personally can't think of much else to go visit other than the deep sea wreckage and the moon base. I'd be happy to explore new places, and just run around looking at everything. But I'm having trouble coming up with ideas of new places to visit."

[OOC] Chevesh says, "I'm a cat, that makes me an expert at burding. I'm really good at it. I cant jump and catch them."
[OOC] Chevesh meant 'can,' but that typo makes it more amusing.
[OOC] Doppel says, "Then again there's always room for a later recolonization effort I suppose for a later RP."
[OOC] Relee says, "Yeah I've been delighted by this RP and thank you to Athares/Myril for hosting it. I haven't been in this sort of large group, long-form exploration RP before and it's been great. So, if you want to host something else big and public, I'd be happy for that. Or small and intimate, or anything in between!"

[OOC] Agris says, "yeah, longform rp is kinda my style"
[OOC] Athares says, "As a note, Doppel, I don't have a set list of secret things for you to find. I pretty much make stuff up on the spot, from a framework of overarching ideas, and that framework's already been fully revealed (and thouroughly expanded)"

[OOC] Athares says, "Yep! I'll do so if we end this time; there's always the chance we'll have another just to tie things up if we run out of time and people are doing things"
[OOC] Kandra says, "I might be able to pick up the RP posts, but I probably don't have all their contacts?"
[OOC] Athares says, "And, thank you, Relee! And all of you for playing for that matter"
[OOC] Vahno is gonna try and work up the nerve to run a thing of his own, but he's... probably gonna limit folks some.
[OOC] Relee says, "Well, if you speak to Moriar on here, they should be able to give the info to you, Kandra."
[OOC] Chevesh says, "I do what I want. And I want to play in your games."
[OOC] Athares grins. Speaking of that!
[OOC] Kandra says, "Yeah if I were to run something it'd probably be by invitation only, or semi-public (i.e. "you can ask about it but there's no guarantee you'll be allowed in"). I don't have anything to run at this time, though."
[OOC] Chevesh says, "That's sort of how I'm planning to do the intro to the new plot I'm planning on running. Get people to investigate it, then the main plot gets put on the board after it's been discovered and filtered through word of mouth."

Chevesh pads through the portal on four paws, flicking her tail and shaking herself off a bit to resettle her fur. She glances to Athares, and wanders over to purr and rub against him fondly. "Was there any unfourtunate backlash?" She rumbles.

Doppel walks in wearing his standard labcoat albeit absolutely covered in Titanium Dioxide cream and wearing welding goggles. "Sup."
[Doppel just looked in your direction! (none Mew)]
In a page-pose to you, Dawnwing's suits tend to have hyper-accomodations, too >>
look doppel
You see a shiny, oddly so in both senses of the term, Mew... in a lab coat. Specifically a Mew that's mostly pale blue however except for the ends of their extremities and ears abruptly shifting to a deep midnight blue... and all of the visible parts of their body seems to have a reflective, rubbery sheen. Though between the buttoned up lab coat, and a wearing both a very fancy C-Gear and a Z-Ring strapped to their tail, it's mainly noticeable on their head. Oddities of coloration and dress aside, they appear to otherwise be a normal member of their species, complete with only being 1' and change tall normally and not abu- er, using their species trademark shapeshifting ability.

[OOC] Desmet says, "Hello! We'll get an establishing spoof when Athares finishes writing it"
Doppel says, "What? It's just that cream that people put on their nose to avoid getting sunburn, I don't want to UV bleach my clothes."
Athares looks around through the Growler's camera feed as the moondust settles. It was a fairly uneventful ride over, though finding a parking spot was a bit trying. The Growler's currently parked at the rim of a crater, the slope down leading towards the webwork of domes and cylindrical modules peeking up over tunnels buried under brownish-grey regolith. There's a shimmering gold-capped pyramidial structure at the center of it all, surrounded by a brilliant white 'donut' ring buried in the regolith. As well, there's a dome surrounded by a number of tanks and machinery, three landing pads around it; two are occupied, and the remaining is nowhere near large enough for the Growler. On the opposite ridge are fields of solar flowers, and a spire surrounded by rings of reflectors, the ridge itself showing an amphitheter-like set of rungs of trusswork and machinery. The sun is nearer the horizon though, its piercing shine casting crisply defined shadows under an airless sky, Xedwa itself nearer xenith, a distant and darkened blue-brown marble shrouded in swirling bands of grey. Fortunately, though the ridge itself looks daunting, the gravity is low enough to make traversing it a more manageable challenge, and there's even a vehicle pathway carved a short distance away, eternal treadmarks slaloming off into the distance. And we have an exploratory crawler to ride around in. Still, the hazards of space, micrometeors and radiation, are omnipresent. As well, there are hints of wild magic mixed in with a larger amount of celestial magic present on this site. Space itself seems charged in places...
[OOC] Desmet says, "which is right now in fact!"
Chevesh pauses in greeting Athares, and purrs, leaning over to nose at the guest curiously. "Hello!"
Vahno says, "...Might need to check for wild- We should've had Crix do a fly by of the moon."
Athares looks to Chevesh. "Backlash?" He headtilts slightly. But, does rub inside her ears, petting down her back. Always nice to have a purry cat along! He looks to the guest as well, giving a calm smile. "Hello and welcome, friend."
Desmet takes a good long look out the viewport as we come into a landing, just... contemplating the view. The civilization's first, and last, journey into space. Pretty in its pragmatism... They'll have to get spacesuited up to begin exploring, of course, and they won't skimp on wards.
Guest1 says, "thanks for the invitation"
Mako's tails bottlebrush on approach. "Oh holy fnord I can sense the wild again. Better be careful and keep your distance.
Dawnwing's suit is ready for standard radiation, at least. Micrometeors may just have to be dodged, or dealt with by point defense if anyone's carrying any. "Is that something you can sense before we walk into it?"
ooc reading.. give me a moment
[OOC] Agris says, "reading.. give me a moment"
Guest1 Puts on a standard EVA suit
Chevesh closes her eyes and rumbles, licking at Athares as her ear splays under the attention and purring contentedly. "Oh. Nevermind." She purrs in return, before opening her eyes again and looking toward Desmet. She licks them as well, rumbling, "I don't suppose you'd mind giving me some radiation protection?"
Desmet sees the Guest, and bows politely, raising an open palm in greeting. "Welcome to our expedition to Xedwa, an investigation of a planet who's people went extinct. We're taking a look at the planet's moon base, today. If you see Athares, they're one of the planet's AIs who managed to get recovered and revived - a native, effectively." And to Chevesh, he nods, waving his hands in a circle, braiding his fingers together for a moment, and pushing out as he shouts - mana flaring up green, as a green spherical shield flares brightly around Chevesh before fading into translucency.
Guest1 says, "Watch out for Athares, got it"
Chevesh purrs and nuzzles Desmet's ear, with a "Thank you." Then she turns her attention to the window, standing up to look outside. "It is oddly pretty... I wonder to what extent it's damaged. I was expecting the whole thing to be a blasted crater, so this is already more interesting than I assumed."
Doppel says, "I'm good on that front assuming nothing got neutron activated or any salted warheads went off, the UV and some solar wind I can handle on my own at least."
Desmet nods to Chevesh, "I shared your concerns, I admit. It looks surprisingly functional."
Dawnwing says, "Watch out for? Athares has been a remarkably good guide and an insight into stuff we probably wouldn't have figured out on our own."
Guest1 says, "Oh sorry, I get a bit paranoid with AI's"
Guest1 says, "Any idea to the contents of the atmosphere?"
Chevesh laughs a bit, turning to the guest and extending a paw to rub his head... then pausing, at that last bit, in thought.
Mako says, "Honestly, the AIs have been the most sensible of the locals, given the history we've pulled up. And Chev's right, there's too much here. >.>"

Vahno says, "It's a moon, so... none?"
Desmet chirrs, "The readings - combined with Mako's bristling hair - indicates that it's vacuum with wild magic and radiation dangers."
Doppel says, "I wouldn't recommend that attitude here, the vast majority of AI is just as stable as your average meatbrain... which admittedly isn't that much of a vote of confidence, but still."
Chevesh shakes her head at the Guest, pulling her paw back and shrugging. "Probably not a lot of atmosphere to contend with at all. It seems pretty airless... " She nods toward Desmet. "... yeah."
Guest1 says, "So I'm paranoid in general"
Desmet chirrs, "Paranoia is a good policy, Guest. If you'd like, I'll extend my magic shielding to you. It's not perfect, but it will give you enough time to remove yourself from the threat."

Guest1 Double checks the amount of CO2 filters and O2 available to him
Relee heads to the Long Growler's airlock, in preparation for the expedition to the moon base. He's still not wearing a space suit, but clearly has a more magical aura than usual.
( Fortunately, there are spacesuits provided. Basic, but functional, and with built in hud and comms. Athares is a bit big for most, though he did get one made for himself in preparation. And yes, he is going to suit up. "Ironic as it is, my choosing to be able to digest food comes with an oxygen and pressure requirement." But, he's practiced it ahead of time. He looks to Guest. Smiles warmly through his helmet. "I am Athares. I might look like an organic, but that's because Patashu's synths are of an exquisite quality. All the same, I'll be happy to call you a friend if you'll welcome it." And indeed, no atmosphere here! For that matter, the site looks more or less undamaged. )
Desmet stands in front of the Guest and waves his hands in circles, making a flurry of gestures and shouting in a foreign language. Mana bursts from each series of gestures as they're applied. In order, a bubble white, yellow and green shield manifest around the Guest, before fading into invisibility. "The shields will flicker back into visibility whenever they're resisting something, so you'll be aware of what's going on."

Agris chuckles at Chevesh's gesture
Guest1 says, "Nice to meet you Athares"
Dawnwing says, "Handy visual cue, Desmet. Anything for 'oh shit, it's about to break?'"
Desmet gets suited up, after that. Cute ferrin in a form-fitting spacesuit, no major customization. :> They nod to Dawnwing. "The brighter, the more work it's putting in."
Chevesh blinks and tilts her head, looking back to Athares for a moment. "Wait, synth bodies can digest food?" She rumbles. "That's... pretty awesome."
Guest1 Suits up, unsure of how to start the suit's systems
Guest1 says, "I fell asleep during that lecture"
Guest1 manages to start up the suit, "So that's how"
Desmet'd happily help Guest1 through the process if no one else is. (They read every instruction manual from cover to cover. What a nerd, right/)
Chevesh wanders over to Guest, and helps them figure out where the buttons are, getting it turned on and making certain the gas pressures are all set. And also helping them pre-key their radio to the frequency everyone's been using.
Chevesh, with Desmet.

Chevesh laughs. "Ah, I'm sure that's fine." She rumbles. Meanwhile, she pads over to the airlock to join the others, forgoing getting inside of the crawler herself for the time being. "Where are we exploring first? My vote's for that landing area around that dome."
Desmet nods head, "Sounds fine to me. Outside-in is logical."
Guest1 rumbles around with his stuff, taking a shortwave rado and a geiger counter
Relee says, "I want to check out the pyramid most of all, but it seems like the access would be best from the facility, rather than flying in.

[OOC] Agris says, "this is going way too fast and i'm getting overwhelmed"
Chevesh tilts her head, swaying on her paws a little bit as her tail flicks. "Well, I also kind of want to check the tanks and machinery around it. Knowing what we can make use of from the remaining local infrastructure might help us as we explore further."

ooc did you all get my suitup scene?
[OOC] Agris says, "did you all get my suitup scene?"
Chevesh nods to Relee. "The pyramid is eye-catching. But my guess is that it will be accessed inside through the tunnels. That thing on the top might have been the collection point for all of the solar power being collected."
[OOC] Relee says, "Yeah I'm having a bit of trouble also, mostly 'cause I'm distracted by friends in voice chat distracting me. But, yes, as Desmet said, things should slow down when we've reached the end of our individual actions and reactions to the last thing Athares said, until Athares says something else, which takes a bit."
[OOC] Desmet says, "I saw it, yes. Cute way to set up a suit :3"

[OOC] Dawnwing hello Nin!
ooc maybe turn off the voice chat so your full attention is here
[OOC] Agris says, "maybe turn off the voice chat so your full attention is here"
Athares looks to Chevesh, nods with a smile. "Biochemical reactor. It's actually a pretty decent for what's technically a form of combustion engine." All the same, we'll have a shared channel, most likely. There are faint distant signals from other civilizations out there; there's at least one relatively nearby, in the galactic sense. Nonetheless! Soon enough, the Crawler, a box of drones, and those who wish to go on foot will all be deployed to ground; feel free to head out the airlock at your leisure. The radiation here is what you would expect on an airless moon, space radiation from the solar winds, not from fission. Thankfully the space weather is fairly calm at the moment. Athares steps over to the ridge, his tail swaying as he gestures to the pyramid at the center. "That is a temple of Kazorian. Judging by the aura, it was desecrated." Unsurprisingly, he muses. He curls his tail around himself, conjuring an orb of light over it. He flicks his tail, tossing it up so that it hovers above his head. It glows with a sunny glow. "This will serve as an ambient magic indicator. Celestial magic on its own isn't harmful, but as it is pluripotent, it can amplify other magic, explosively in some cases, and it can affect the nature of space itself."
[OOC] Athares greets, Niny'ah!
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "what @ Agris"
ooc was talking to kandra
[OOC] Agris says, "was talking to kandra"
[OOC] Kandra says, "Oh hi Niny'ah!"
[OOC] Kandra says, "Safe? No terrifying traffic accident?"
Desmet won't hesitate any longer, then. They step out onto the moon's surface, enjoying the feeling of bouncing a little with every step - lower gravity! Suited tail flicking, ears perked. "Desecrated...? You can tell that from all the way over here?" They sound curious, before perking up at the indicator orb. "Very well, I will be careful. If it's a type of magic unknown to me, I can't be confident I can defend against it."
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "I JUST walked in the door <3 missed you all"
[OOC] Kandra is not in any voice chat. That's Relee
[OOC] Kandra says, "Yay! We are glad you did not die."
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "being in here via laptop was hard because I didn't have dual-screen"
[OOC] Dawnwing bighugs Nin!
[OOC] Niny'ah catches up on log
Guest1 steps out of the airlock taking a while looking at the smaller than usual horizon
[OOC] Kandra is here via laptop at the moment, actually. <.< >_> I only have one screen attached to the desktop anymore, not sure if it's worth burning stimulus money to have a slightly nicer setup.
Dawnwing will make sure sie grabs at least one drone and a controller for it as part of headin' out. Spare battery packs too, if they're available.
Chevesh climbs out of the airlock, sans spacesuit but bearing Desmet's radiation shielding, dropping off of the ship to scatter regolith dust under her paws as she lands. Ah, low gravity, making everything seem to be somewhat in slow motion... it's like the feeling of having her processing increased, but without the effort. She bounds forward a couple of steps, kicking up dust on four paws, adjusting to the feeling of lower weight... then pauses, turning toward Athares. <Wait, will it affect the radiation shell Desmet put on me?> She inquires over radio, for lack of an atmosphere to carry her voice.
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "well I got my secondary monitor at a thrift store"
[OOC] Kandra says, "Yeah"
[OOC] Dawnwing says, "Yeah, my desk is dual screen. I feel a little constrained when I have to go to a single monitor lappy setup."
[OOC] Dawnwing says, "My second screen came from Dell Refurbished >>"
[OOC] Vahno hugs Niny!
[OOC] Kandra got bitten by $monitor2 not having a Vesa mount, and then also cable lengths.
Doppel heads on out with a Barrier set up
[OOC] Kandra says, "$monitor2 is actually a surplus/cast-off from my dad's work"
Relee heads out onto the surface through the airlock. When in hard vaccumn, he has an apparently slightly glowing aura around him, and it appears that there is a relatively small sphere of breathable air surrounding him. He also has several different force-fields around him, at different distances, rather like an onion-skin, including one directly against his body, though it doesn't seem to flatten his fur. Their interaction is complex, allowing and disallowing different things at different times. He floats by magic as well, rather than striding across the surface of the moon, rather ignoring gravity or any threat of flying off into space by accident.
[OOC] Kandra says, "I only have $monitor1 though now."
[OOC] Kandra could probably use three or even four, admittedly, if she had em. <.<
( We came prepared; there are spare packs to use. Athares looks to Desmet. "The temple is a nexus for the ambient aura, and I'm familiar with its power. Do you have a way to scry?" He- right, can't rub behind an ear with a bubble over his head. "At least we can always send a drone ahead if you're not sure." Then to Chevesh. Back to Desmet. )
[OOC] Kandra says, "Anyway I'll shut up about OOCstuff."
[OOC] Athares has never had a second monitor before, for what it's worth
[OOC] Relee says, "My second monitor was an investment for a job I had gotten, which would need one when I was working from home, and paid me enough to cover the monitor in the time I worked there, which wasn't terribly long."

Outside they spot the long exaggerated shadows that comes from a lack of proper atmosphere and the immense contrast of light. It hurts their eyes a little so they squint as they attempt to adjust to it. if anyone were to look at them they would be able to see an immediate subtle blue glow as the materials in their electric organs take on the faint background solar radiation

Dawnwing volunteers to be the Luggage Carrier for anyone who wants to bring extra gear, naturally. Taur stronk.
Mako floats afte rpeople. She has... absolutely no suit, which maybe alarming. But around her shimmers a bubble made of interlocking hexagonal lights. She has her senses open for patches of bad magic.
[OOC] Mako says, "I can words, I swear."
Guest1 Comms by radio to Agris "Where do you want to go? I would go near some buildings to scavenge for stuff"
Desmet headshakes to Athares. "I'm not particularly versed in scrying - I can sense and see magic but only if it's close to me. As for how celestial magic might affect my shielding; I'm afraid I don't know, since I've never seen it before. So, let's be careful."
( There's what looks like a vehicle bay nearer the bottom of the ramp, but the landing pads aren't far removed from it. With gravity low as it is, those on foot could probably jump atop the Crawler and hang on for a quicker ride, once we've chosen where to go. )
Vahno says, "Little concerned about the celestial magic..."
Chevesh turns her head to look out at the pyramid and the facility around it, then back to Athares. She folds her ears back and nods, forgoing her attempt to run around the moon in the low gravity in order to stay near Athares and Desmet instead. She certainly can't trust herself to be able to see the threat before it's upon her.
Athares nods to Desmet. "From what I see from here, we won't see many celestial effects in the periphery, though there might be a slight hotspot at the landing pads. I'm not sure though, we're too far for me to get a good sense." Then to Vahno. "And, at least it's only celestial, not divine. It shouldn't react any more harshly to you than anyone else, or at least not by much."
[OOC] Niny'ah cxaught up with log, reads scroll
Athares says, "I will say, however, that one of the two craft in the pads does not appear to be either Union or Imperial make."
say Athares=I should let you know that celestial magic has effects on foxes
You yip, "Athares=I should let you know that celestial magic has effects on foxes"
Desmet raises an eyebrow. "Really? ... I agree we should look closer at that, then."
Chevesh pads back and forth in the dust, a little floaty on her paws. <Not union or imperial... ? So they could be other alien explorers. We should definitely introduce ourselves. They might even be paranoid scavengers, and try to defend their claim!> Even over comms, it's obvious that she considers this a potentially positive outcome.
Niny'ah rock-paper-scissors with anyone who wants to drive the crawlers
Dawnwing huh. Sie sends a drone up to get a better peek - would the craft be recognizable as anything with SD affiliation? FE ships, or Thea's, perhaps?
Athares gives Agris a curious look. "Foxes in particular?"
Guest1 says, "I call dibs on what's in the tanks!"
say yes. nogitsunes in particular. Haven't you ever heard of the Celestial Foxen? Or is that only things my species gets told growing up as a kit
You yip, "yes. nogitsunes in particular. Haven't you ever heard of the Celestial Foxen? Or is that only things my species gets told growing up as a kit"
Mako hummm... "I want to see the vehicle bay, but I'm concerned about hte celestial magic too. Mostly because the residue of that stuff, if it's anything like some of hte others we've seen, is pretty potent death
Athares says, "Foxes didn't exist on my world; I only know of what I've read and seen since being recovered."
Desmet grins at Agris. "Will this be a *good* or a *bad* interaction? If you can suck it up safely, it sounds like you'd be doing a public service."
say *GASP* A world without foxes!? Oh you poor thing
You yip, "*GASP* A world without foxes!? Oh you poor thing"
Chevesh blinks, and looks to Agris, tilting her head.
Niny'ah says, "It's not a Sol-3 ManyEarth biosphere"
say I'm not sure. That really depends on who you ask, but it's pretty safe to assume the amplification effects of celestial magic amplifies vulpines exceptionally moreso than other kinds of magic, and that fennerctie kits grow up years learning how to manage their own energies
You yip, "I'm not sure. That really depends on who you ask, but it's pretty safe to assume the amplification effects of celestial magic amplifies vulpines exceptionally moreso than other kinds of magic, and that fennerctie kits grow up years learning how to manage their own energies"
Vahno rubs his head. "Okay?"
Niny'ah says, "Gonna want to hear more about this - later though, unless it comes up immediately relevant."
Niny'ah makes sure everybody gets their suit Systems-checked before cycling the airlock
Niny'ah . o O ( Hard Vaccuum is nothing to joke around with. )
( The craft in question is a trans-atmospheric vehicle. It's a blocky two-hull 'catamaran' design, looking like a siamese-twin cargo shuttle; the alloys on the hull are far superior to anything seen on Xedwa, and it's equipped with repulsors and a cycling antimatter-catalyzed fusion core between the hulls. The antimatter's all gone though. Judging by the weathering on the hull, it's been sitting here for about 10 years, which puts its arrival well after the final day of Xedwa anyway. )
Mako huh. "Is it just me, or does this mean there were Visitors here before us?"
Guest1 says, "I think this confirms that someone has been here before"
Athares says, "I'm fairly certain it does. And the fact that they didn't leave is not a good omen... Shall we approach to learn more?"
Dawnwing says, "So why's their ride -still- here?"
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "GM/Timeline check: where is the group?"
Desmet taps chin. "Not surprising, when you think about it - abandoned, history rich planets are exactly the kind of thing to attract scavengers. The PLANET itself had the wild magic storm. The MOON does not."
Guest1 says, "And I don't think they moved here to stay"
[OOC] Athares says, "Recently arrived, still on the ridge over the crater the base is in."
say i'm a bit dissapointed we are in a hard vacuum, because i really want to sniff this craft
You yip, "i'm a bit dissapointed we are in a hard vacuum, because i really want to sniff this craft"
Guest1 says, "I think it would smell like burnt plastic"
Chevesh stares at it, and listens to the reports, thinking. <It might mean that some visitor never left, though.>
Dawnwing says, "Long time for them to park, though. Wonder how many tickets they've got on their windshield..."
Desmet chirrs, "...That's a good point. Who comes as a scavenger and stays for 10 years? I wonder if we'll run into these people so we can ask their motives..."
say good thinking chevesh, it's unlikely someone would leave their craft behind
You yip, "good thinking chevesh, it's unlikely someone would leave their craft behind"
Niny'ah is looking through a set of binoculars at the foreign shuttlecraft. "That's an awful lot of Vac-rad weathering though."
Guest1 says, "Don't think they stayed voluntarily"
Doppel says, "Any port in the storm, I suppose."
Niny'ah says, "well, we're not going to learn much gawking from up here."

Mako says, "I am hoping they didn't run into a death field. :/"
Desmet chirrs, "I assume we're not going to try to pop open the ship, and instead we'll start exploring the moon base?"
Athares nods to Niny'ah. "You're driving? I suppose I will otherwise."
Guest1 follows behind Agris
Niny'ah gets the crawlers started and trundling down the ridge; loose moondust might make them skid some, but they're balanced very low so even though they may look precarious, they're still going to make it easily down
[OOC] Kandra is super-curious about the 'foreign' ship. >.>
Dawnwing says, "Leave a watch on the ship in case it's got enough reserve power to do anything, I think. Unless we're certain there are no lifesigns."
[OOC] Kandra says, "Even if you're certain there's no lifesigns."
[OOC] Kandra says, "AIs, SIs and humanscale component automation don't necessarily show up on those scans, right?"
Chevesh flicks her tail as she bounds after the crawler, staying to the side of it to stay out of the plume of dust it's certain to kick up. She looks over her shoulder and does a double-take, watching Agris, darting to the left and the right in leaping bounds that clear a lot of terrain with very little seeming effort. <I think we ought to explore the foreigner ship first. It could tell us whether its crew might still be alive, and whether they would consider us a threat. There might even be something inside that lets us identify where they are, tracking beacons in spacesuits. It would help rescuing them if they're in trouble, though, after ten years, that's not likely to be a problem.>
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "info-aside, Nyn is actually not in a separate spacesuit but she does have a duration-pack on her Alicorn suit, because it's rated"
Niny'ah says, "MAko, you picking up anything interesting?"

You yip, "this spaceship has been here for 10 years. it's not going anywhere"

You yip, "lets not got sidetracked"
Dawnwing says, "We've found lotsa stuff around here much older than that that still works fine."
Desmet chirrs, "I do worry about poking around someone else's ship, but... If it *has* been 10 years, maybe the owner(s) aren't with us after all. Hmm."
Dawnwing says, "It's mostly Keeping an Eye on it in case it's got enough battery juice left to be a nuisance."
Dawnwing says, "We don't need to go in, we just need to be aware if it does anything at all other than continuing to quietly sit there."
( Fortunately, the path down the ridge is pretty well packed; it could even be called paved owing to the use of earth magic to fuse the regolith and differentiate some of it into binder. Both the craft on the pads look cold and silent, no signs of life. The other one, a hexagonal thing on trussed legs with a series of hexagonal cans around it and a bottom marked in wind-earth synergetic thaumaturgy, Athares identifies as a Union resupply lander meant to be carried by a trans-orbital bus. )
say Athares, you don't mean the QDOT system do you?
You yip, "Athares, you don't mean the QDOT system do you?"
( Mako would sense there -are- celestial signatures coming from the hub structure between the pads. It doesn't feel wild at all. In fact, it's likely some kind of machinery in there. )
Mako is testing! "I dunno, I'm not seeing anything Live, but...." She peers forward. "I think the God powered machinery is still at least partially powered.
Guest1 looks at Agris "QDOT?"
/me listens to their whiskers
Niny'ah says, "Quantum Dot?"
pose listens to their whiskers
Agris listens to their whiskers
Chevesh <What happened to this facility is no mystery. It was attacked by the union in a preemptive strike. Why it's still standing is a little confusing, but the main mystery here, as far as I can see, is why a shuttle landed here long after the planet's death and then never left. Who it belongs to... the wild magic probably got it. But then why was there no follow-up mission, if they were known to be missing.>
say there's too much noise out here exposed to space i can't sense anything
You yip, "there's too much noise out here exposed to space i can't sense anything"
Athares looks to Agris. "No. I mean a Union spacecraft intended to carry several smaller spacecraft between celestial bodies. Our spaceflight techniques weren't advanced enough to build the do-everything vehicles you're familiar with; we optimized our missions with different vehicles for different phases of the journey."
say the qoudlibet department of transportation
You yip, "the qoudlibet department of transportation"
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "Agris, this is an area completely outside Spindizzy's normal narrative sphere of influence"
Athares says, "I actually vote we investigate the alien ship; if nothing else, it might serve as a warning if something unfortunate happened."
[OOC] Relee says, "Sorry for disappearing without a word; I got a phone call from my aging father in the basement, and he was worried he'd throw up and needed a bucket. Then, after the panic of finding him one... Well, he's in the twilight of his life and long-winded, so we talked for a while too. ^.^;;"
[OOC] Desmet says, "Welcome back, and glad he's doing alright now"
[OOC] Dawnwing internet hug.
[OOC] Athares says, "Welcome Back"
Niny'ah steers towards the odd ship!
[OOC] Chevesh says, "No worries. Taking care of your father when he's sick is pretty high on the list of acceptable reasons."
ooc how old?
[OOC] Agris says, "how old?"
Guest1 says, "Athares what is the Union so afraid of?"
[OOC] Relee says, "73! My Mom passed 5 years ago, and he's pointedly told me he's older than his parents were when they passed, so I'm doing my best to make the most of it. He's had an especially hard time due to Covid, so he's glad to have someone in the house to talk to again."
Chevesh bounds after the crawler, taking a moment to leap up and to the side to land and cling to it, craning her head up to get a better view ahead as she crawls up toward the front of it. <There's a lot of stuff I think would be worth checking out before we go inside... those gas tanks, the machinery, that odd ship... maybe, though I highly doubt it, there's breathable atmosphere and power left to turn on. Or... well. I'm not going in front, regardless. I'll walk right into a wild-magic zone, most likely, and get exploded.> There's a pause. <But like, in a bad way.>
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "Guest1 - the world was caught in a war where one of the factions' patron god used an Omnicidal Endgame Weapon that sterilized the planet"
Dawnwing comms to Chevesh - "Didn't you do that once on one of the trips I missed? Something about getting all your skins killed off..."
( You -are- in luck regarding the alien lander too. Odds are the Growler has means to reach out to the galactic network, no? It's from one of the other civilizations in the sector and they're a known bunch; you can pull the relevent references and translation files. It looks to be a typical civilian lander craft, known to be used among small-time shipping outfits, fringe pilots, and opportunistic explorers. )
say gas tanks?
You yip, "gas tanks?"
Chevesh projects a laugh over comms. <Yeah, I turned and walked face-first into an invisible orb of death that drained me dry and crumbled my skin to dust. Then Mako shelled me up, and I made a mad dash through it all to turn them off.>
[OOC] Relee says, "By the by, can I get a quick gist of what I missed? There's so much text and I can only read so fast."
Niny'ah gets a pingback from the database lookup, and shares the above with the group
[OOC] Desmet says, "The main thing is, we found out that there's an alien ship. As in, not Xedwan, landed here. It seems to have been sitting still for 10 years."
say and has tanks, potentially filled with delicious flourine
You yip, "and has tanks, potentially filled with delicious flourine"
Niny'ah says, "Fluo- You know what, I'm better off not knowing."
Desmet gets the data from Niny'ah, and taps chin. "Yeah, I'm starting to think this is a 'landed, got wild magic'd and died' situation. And the answer to 'why no followup' might be that they were already operating on their own, with no next of kin to go check on them. I guess taking a look inside can't hurt, then."
say chuckles to themselves
You yip, "chuckles to themselves"
Chevesh nods to Agris, and raises a paw to point to the tanks resting near the dome surrounded by landing pads. <Yeah, right there. I figure, they must be for liquids and gasses, maybe fuel and breathable atmosphere.>
Doppel says, "I hope they weren't crazy enough to use that shit as an oxidizer, I mean it's better than CTF but that's damming by faint praise right there."
[OOC] Relee says, "That's a long time, by sapient standards. Thanks!"
Niny'ah trundles the crawler up right close (nobody to yell at her for crowding the landing area!) so Chevesh can jump right onto the foreign ship!

You page, "CTF?" to Doppel.
Niny'ah says, "Everybody buttoned up for EVA?"

Dawnwing nodnods! "Ready to go, Nin."
Relee has been here the entire time, and is keeping an eye out for odd magical systems floating about that might harm anyone.
say thankyou for that relee
You yip, "thankyou for that relee"
Athares looks to the Guest. "Originally, the Empire. Now..." He eyes aside. "Nothing anymore." Perhaps some would say it's a silver lining, that. Nonetheless! He'd have hopped up on the Crawler to get a ride, swaying his tail calmly on the way over. Unfortunately, the atmosphere on that ship isn't breathable, to us at least; the civilization that made it hails from a world with a sulphurous reducing atmosphere. Fortunately we're all in spacesuits anyway, and the doors are unlocked, albeit unpowered. It's a pretty pragmatic thing inside though; a typical 'cabin and spine with boxes' arrangement, with the oddity of being a catamaran-hull. Apparantly this actually was done to help make the /ships/ stackable in larger carrier ships, and also helped reuse old smaller hulls when more economic-by-scale modules were developed by just merging two old hulls into a larger 'new' one.
Chevesh proves she is not at all and in any way predictable, by taking the unexpected action of... jumping from the crawler, right onto the foreign ship! She ducks her head and examines it as she pads around over top, scanning for traces of electricity... she won't bother trying to take samples of it, as its origin has already been pretty clearly determined. <If it's got no power, I -could- cut open the hatches or something.> She pays attention to the vibrations in the hull... the chances of hearing a conversation from inside a spacecraft hull that way is pretty low, but it doesn't hurt to pay attention all the same.
Niny'ah starts the pump-down of the Crawler's interior atmo (instead of it having a proper airlock, it can completely pump down, losing < 1% of air per cycle)
( No power signatures at all. There are batteries, but they've lost much of their charge. Also, the reactor's antimatter supply has been removed. )
Desmet'll be exploring the inside of this alien ship too. "Two things I'm interested in - if there's any personalization in the bridge or bunk that'll give us an idea of what kind of person this was, and if there's anything noteworthy in the cargo."
[OOC] Guest1 says, "seems we read the Martian :)"
Chevesh perks up her head, tilting it. <The reactor's fuel has been removed. I think maybe people survived for a while after their ship got broken, and they needed the power source.>
Desmet blinks. "Removed? Removed why... Hmm. Maybe. What a bizarre thing to do, though. Why would you not just fly back to known territory?"
Dawnwing says, "Think maybe they took it into the facility? I haven't seen the Xedwans using antimatter yet, so they'd have to bring their whole reactor with."
Niny'ah circles around to the powerplant. "It looks like a module is missing. there's brackets for a fairly sizable.... container? Module? that's been cleanly removed it looks like. The latches are popped open but not damaged that I can tell.
Niny'ah pushes eye-cam shots to the tacnet
Desmet thinks about it for a moment and ohs. "I guess there's the chance the ship might be broken. That would be awful luck, but it might fit the evidence as we learn more."
( The ship itself seems undamaged; the antimatter was removed intentionally and gracefully. )

Doppel starts looking for an airlock access panel, or failing that a safe place to blind teleport into the ship
Mako says, "I would also want to see, can we recover logs?"
say this low gravity is pretty great
You yip, "this low gravity is pretty great"
Niny'ah says, "Should be a manual override on the airlock"
Niny'ah says, "look for a crank handle and expect it to take a lot of crankin'"
Chevesh pads around on top of the ship with her nose down to it, planning on going inside with the others soon to look around. But for now, they've got the interior, and she trusts them as much as she would herself if she were inside. For now, she slinks along fluidly, gliding on pawpads with eerily slight motion that nevertheless has her bobbing lightly in the low gravity. With her attention fixated, she jumps and startles as her tail gets pounced and grabbed, instinctively thrusting herself up and twisting around as her hackles shoot up... there would be a startled 'mrowr,' if there had been any atmosphere to carry it. But for now, she's launched herself up with more power than she really ought to have, and is drifting on a very slowly shallowing arc above the landing pad. <... nope!> she responds after a moment, as she settles in to wait for herself to complete her arc and land.
Vahno has disconnected.
[OOC] Chevesh says, "I thought people were already inside. Athares said the door wasn't locked."
( You -can- get into the various chambers, though the ship doesn't look very lived in; it's pretty plainly a subcraft, having been launched from a larger one. The airlock on the ship can, with some diligence (and tools) be overridden and forced open. Also it has a port window you could use for not-so-blind teleporting into it. There are plenty of computers in there; the local standard isn't Spindizzian, but it wouldn't be the first time you've had to improvise an adapter. Or use another way of powering and interfacing with it. )
Niny'ah continues circling the ship. GM, do I discover a pylon clamp on top?

( The cargo bays are full of salvaged Xedwan hardware from the base, including a few celestial bits that match the machinery in the hub. For those wondering, there is only one weapon aboard, an emergency pistol still stowed in a survival kit. The ship does have a docking port and clamp, on the bottom. )

Niny'ah says, "Are they electric/electronic?"
( They are! )
Desmet tilts head left, right, studying one. "I think so."
say cumpootah
You yip, "cumpootah"
Chevesh flails a bit for several moments, trying to kick and scrabble her way back down to the surface, with her ears folded tightly back and her tail puffed up. The feeling of so freely floating above the surface causes her to move twitchily, and she stiffens and waits once it becomes obvious that flailing doesn't help. It's going to take her a little bit longer to land, probably near the edge of the crater, but she keeps her face pointed squarely -down- and directly toward the ground to keep her field of vision filled with it.
Dawnwing says, "Won't be the first time we've bodged together an electrical interface of some kind."
[OOC] Niny'ah says, "is Chev suited?"
[OOC] Chevesh says, "Nope. I have comms in my head, and a radiation shield courtesy of Desmet."
say hold on, why don't you get the computer running.
You yip, "hold on, why don't you get the computer running."
Dawnwing seems to want to try to fly after Chev to retrieve her (wings spreading and all) but that just won't work in this lack-of-atmosphere. Boo. "Y'alright up there?"
Athares looks up, tracking Chevesh in her arc. "Chevesh... are you alright? What happened?"
pose pads off to try and head over directly under where Chevesh is going to land, seeing as how their reflexes don't really work in space
Agris pads off to try and head over directly under where Chevesh is going to land, seeing as how their reflexes don't really work in space
Dawnwing ponders. Sie tries sending a drone after Chevesh. Hopefully it'll still have enough thrust to pull her down if she grabs on to it.
Guest1 has disconnected.
Guest1 is surrounded by Pac-Monsters and chomped!
Guest1 has left.
Niny'ah crawls out from under the ship. "Looks like it's got a pretty sturdy parent ship docking clamp. Wonder if the mothership is around somewhere... maybe in orbit?"
Dawnwing says, "Nin, if it was, wouldn't we have seen it already?"
Niny'ah says, "not if it's gone full cold"
Chevesh sends back to Dawnwing, <Yep! Yep! I'm just fine! I'm coming down eventually... > though she quickly snatches out and clings to the drone when it comes within arm's reach, curling immediately around it and digging her claws into it enough to cling to it like a velcro ball... though probably not enough to shred anything important. <I'm good, I'm fine. All's fine here. ... How are you?>
Niny'ah says, "If it's full cold, ti's just a particularly shiny bit of orbital debris. We can do some radar pings when we pop back up though"
Athares, about to climb up into the craft, instead hops over to the Crawler. "Niny'ah, would you mind if I borrow your vehicle to retrieve Chevesh with?..." He sounds more a combination of mildly amused and mildly frustrated than worried at this point.
Dawnwing tries towing Chev back down to the surface with it! Best not to have friends sailing out into who-knows-where. Or at least inconveniently distant ridges.
Niny'ah says, "Sure"

( Nothing showed up in orbit, and we're near enough to the sun that you should've been able to see the shimmer, even if it was entirely dark. There's still orbiting Xedwan space junk here and there, but no large alien craft. )
say i think the drone should be enough
You yip, "i think the drone should be enough"
Desmet comms, <You okay, Chevesh? I was wondering if you'd be capable of working the computers in the alien lander. They'd need power - am I right in recalling you can provide that too?>
Somewhere on the muck, Ping has disconnected.
Athares indeed would go take the Crawler for a brief ride over to help Chevesh return to the group, assuming she doesn't end up clinging to a drone; thankfully with everything nice and paved, it should be able to reach its normal top speed without any problems.
Mako will float after Chev. "Gravity, Chev! And I can probalby provide power, if it's magical."
Desmet <My guess from looking at it is it's electronic, though I'm not an expert.>
Chevesh stares at the ground, and pushes off of the drone to shove herself down toward the ground, trying to dig her claws into it. But they sift through loose dust, causing her to bounce a bit and flail with her paws before she finally settles back down, dropping low to her belly on her paws and whipping her tail back and forth. <Thank you Dawn! I owe you one.> She sends out, in what is actually a pretty calm voice. To Desmet, she sends <Yeah! Yeah, I can provide power, and I'm good at talking with computers usually. Just don't ask me how they work... > She darts toward the crawler that arrived, and clings to it tightly, though she's gradually relaxing. <I was dumb, I kicked way too hard.>
Athares returns with one (1) Chevesh. And Agris too, if Agris wants a ride back. Problem solved!
Chevesh <In fairness, Mako's power is probably a better bet, but I'll talk with the computer. My ability to -provide- power is a little difficult to regulate.>
Dawnwing makes sure to recover the drone, too. We might still need that later! "Alright. Time for some Chev-brand magic?"

Athares offers, "We do have a full tool kit including basic electronics tools which should suffice failing any more immediate option."
Chevesh laughs. <Yeah, well, I wasn't really looking for you.>

Niny'ah directs Athares to the relevant locker in the crawler
look desmet
Standing here is a Ferrin, a 5ft/1.52m tall brown fluffy critter, and I mean *fluffy*. Browns range from deep chocolate for the front, blocky snout and messy mane/chest fluff to a lighter tan for the face and extremities, to a pale tan for bits of fluff cascading down the hips, around the ankles, on the sides of shoulders and face, and a huge floof explosion at the end of the thick tail. Orange highlights the cat like paw-hands, paw soles, insides of the tall, oval perked ears, nostrils and tongue, while the eyes are dark, aloof and sleepy. Their body type is lithe and slender and they carry themselves calmly and casually, hiding a lot of adventuring instincts and dexterity that come out in moments of tension.
Their clothing is light and unencumbering, with a purple/black and orange highlights colour scheme. They have on monk robes of a fine silk, a scarf patterned with fractal winding square spirals, jangly golden braclets and anklets and tail rings, a golden monocle on their left eye, a loincloth with an embroidered golden design of a circle with an obelisk emitting a star, going barefoot. He carries a leather backpack, and strapped to either side of his tailbase are potion and scroll holsters, which are kept diligently full. The outfit glows under magesight.

Like, I've been building amphibious vehicles that use control programs to adjust the angle of pivot-points instead of using automatic AI controls. It lets you program your vehicle elements with LUA, and you even get access to a breadbox to program vehicle behaviors with with more control. I especially like that there's a campaign element to it, and you can port your designs in by building them in the campaigns and trying to fight other factions."

[OOC] Chevesh made something called the 'war wolf' that uses four spread-out stilts, with pivotable pads on the end of each one. Those pads have tank tracks on them, and hydrofoils and rows of propellers that automatically swing up and out of the way when it makes landfall. It took a -lot- of very fine adjustment of power outputs, hydrofoil angles, and turning speeds/limits to make it drive well on land while also skimming across the ocean without dipping into the water and then doing a backflip.

But it was not good. Very european humor, but also BAD european humor. Also the essential gameplay is herding a large group of man-like baby-things that scream a lot, and are as annoying as possible."

( One unscrewed panel and a bus splice later, and there's power to one of the ship's computers, of a few, but they can each get their turn. There's no hacking needed; computers vital to ship function are made such that they're always accessible by any crew. This is not a war ship after all. Handily, the crew here was keeping detailed records, not -quite- with a scientist's diligence, but, close. It looks like they came aboard a prospector-explorer ship named the Iridium Glimmer, seeking valuable finds. They got what they were looking for, in a sense; their civilization had no familiarity with magic, so they had no way to interpret all the hazards around, losing several probes to Xedwa's atmosphere, and nearly losing one of their crew to what they didn't know was an aether cascade when salvaging around here. "One more incident and we have to return. This world is already worth declaring a no-go zone." )
( They did manage to suss out some of the things about the locals' "Seemingly primitive technology that somehow works by distorting the laws of physics." and how it's "Powered by some kind of charged luminosity." Nearer the final logs, there's a note of "Spatial and gravitic anomalies in the pyramid." ultimately connected to "Some kind of machine the locals appear to have attached considerable religious significance to. The nature of the light conduits powering it suggest considerable pulse power, matching the potential output of the devices we found. Those looked like a sort of crude fusion-howitzer, but they may have another purpose. We could create a similar luminosity pulse using some of our ship's antimatter reserves." )
( There's a debate back and forth about the wisdom of trying to power up the ominous giant machine in the middle of the temple that's already full of odd gravimetric oddities. Still, they gambled a -big- chunk of budget on this operation so far, and their captain was unsubtly getting nervous at the thought of losing her ship into the financial hole they were digging. They decided to test the ominous machine, hoping that it would be something that would make the news and draw an archaeological if not literal gold rush. Test from a good distance, of course. )
( There's a comment among them right before they set it off. "Do you feel watched?..." And when the timer hits zero, the craft's sensors -light up- with a brilliant show of space-rending that registers as a very nearby hyperjump, centered right at the center of the pyramid. All sorts of alarms go off! And when it ends, all is silent. None of them return. The Iridium Glimmer calls for them... after a lot of cursing and verifying with a probe that their crew -vanished-, they decided they weren't even going to risk going back for their lander, rocketing off to return home. )
Mako winces at that last bit. "Oh hell, that's not good."

[OOC] Kandra rubs at her face, and looks at the mentioned game ('Homebrew'). Is this . . . hrm, well: I have a fairly powerful machine, highish end i7/GTX 1070 (yeah I know, overkill, I built it like back in 2017 or something and I had saved up enough to go for what seemed like the thing just *before* price/advantage started to get silly.) BUT... there's mentions of optimization issues in the top review >.<
[OOC] Kandra says, "I kind of want it... <_<"
Athares says, "Celestial magic can catalyze rampant explosions of magical power, especially with this chaotic element mixed with it... this scan though... it's familiar in a way. I'll need to take a moment to make sense of it. Thank you, Doppel."
Doppel says, "No problem."
( As for Mako! She'll be able to find the source of the celestial power in the hub. It looks like machinery on a floating platform... Athares would recognize it. It's a Xedwan-made analog to a repulsor, using celestial distortion of the void as another approach to gravtech. Mako might be able to make use of it, now that you've found the bits that were taken off of it in the alien ship's hold. )

Mako blinks. "Okay, I Want This." She'll Send her findings back, and request info on how to safely recover it.
Somewhere on the muck, Austin has connected.
Desmet hears Mako, and looks... concerned, but intrigued. "Is this safe?"
Chevesh listens to the comm chatter, as she stalks around the tanks outside, and having actually scaled her output to be well below even a biological leopard in order to avoid accidentally throwing herself off of the surface again. Now she's padding around in more of a slow and lazy gait in line with the slow drifting of the dust she kicks up with every step. <Maybe the device just didn't like the taste of however they tried to power it. They sound like they were shooting it with raw light, but without those elemental energies that the beams the Xedwans use carry.> There a slight pause, and she continues, <Athares. Could the fact that the beam was probably empty have caused it to... I don't know. -Do- something 'empty?'>

Athares looks over. "For the time being." He climbs down, looking towards the hub, and by extension, Mako. The hub structure contains not only various equipment for servicing the pads, but a workspace for spacecraft modules; that repulsor is right in the middle of it. "That module is similar to those my original form used to attempt to launch with." He ponders, swaying his tail in wide arcs. "It was at the very fringe of the cutting edge in the final days, but I wasn't aware of any being brought or made here. A secret prototype platform for something?... It should be relatively safe when unpowered. I guess if you're trying to build a magical starship of your own, it could come in handy." It looks like a large platform with a trussed cylinder over it with a sphere in the middle, oddly curving conduits spiralling about it, both ends sporting crystalline accumulators faintly glowing with a sunny light, celestial magic resonantly pulled from all that floating about here. Athares then looks to Chevesh though. "I expect if that was the issue, then the machine would've been broken, not do that. However, I can't be sure. What you suggest is not impossible..." He then muses. "There were various suggestions from the chronomancers on ways to develop ways to travel faster than light, though this is different..." He then muses more. "Hyperdrives work similarly to hypothetical planar rifts?... A planar rift in a temple? It may be reaching out on a limb, but I wonder if this may have something to do with the divine realms..."
[OOC] Kandra would take any recommendations for a really good, general vehicle building game that actually runs well.
Chevesh perks her ears, and turns to bound back over toward Athares. <Divine realms?> She sends quizzically. <Do you mean where the gods came from, or something? You think they'd use such a place for faster-than-light travel?>
Desmet quirks an ear. "Punch a hole into another plane of existence to... Woah."
[OOC] Kandra says, "Maybe that's why they felt watched. o.o;"

[OOC] Chevesh says, "Too bad there's nobody IC to voice that remarkable insight! It's a good one."
Desmet chirrs, "Here's a good question. Why would that do anything if the Gods are dead? Or is the premise incorrect?"
Niny'ah woah.
Dawnwing says, "Could be that even if they're dead, their plane still exists..."
Desmet chirrs, "And a divine plane with no divinity may be in a bad way. That would be unfortunate."
Chevesh <Maybe there are more gods in those realms than merely the ones who laid claim to Xedwa 56. Or, perhaps something flowed in to replace their absence, unbeknownst to anyone trying to access it.>
Niny'ah says, "The logs from the dropship say thatit recorded a ... hyperspace rift"
Relee says, "Well, as the group's primary and as far as I know only planeswalker wizard, I think it would be a good idea for me to investigate the device. Maybe we can find out where your gods went, or at least the souls of your people, if they're still out there."
Desmet ... ...s and raises a thought that's quite unlike what they normally would. "If we wanted to find out for sure, we could repeat the experiment. We certainly have the capabilities to."
Chevesh looks toward Niny, and nods. <They were unfamiliar with any of the magical goings-on they were dealing with. 'Hyperspace rift' may have just been their best available way to describe it, or they might not have known enough to realize the difference... of course, it could also just be true. I kind of want to find out definitively.>
Dawnwing says, "I'm curious, but also super apprehensive."
Mako says, "Magical Starship nothing, I need a tool to... waaait what. Take a look. They may have attracted Unwanted Atteniont(tm) people are thinking?"
Dawnwing says, "After all, if it's another entire plane, I'm likely to be cut off from myself again."
Niny'ah says, "What I'm saying is that it may be both tehchnically true, yet incomplete."
[OOC] Kandra says, "Also, Agris! I definitely earperked at your intricate Minecraft computer-driven tunnel boring machine. I've occasionally daydreamed about making something like an automated build-height-railway-grid-builder, or other things along those lines, but never actually got that far/done it."
Niny'ah says, "Not having Aether-sensitive instruments, it would completely miss any Aether component of the event"
Athares says, "Using it for faster than light travel would be possible, with the 'asterisk' that it would only be able to go where the realms held sway, which would've only been Xedwa and here at the time it was being built. It could've been made in hopes of building star-gates at some future time, once settlements further away were built." He then looks to Relee. "I'm very curious. I'm not sure if repeating the experiment would be wise at the moment, but if you can help us learn more before we do anything further, that would be ideal."
Niny'ah says, "I want to be well outside the Event when it goes off, thank-you-very-much."
Athares also looks to Chevesh. "That's what I'm thinking. A planar rift would look like a hyperspace jump to technological sensors."

Desmet chirrs, "A spiritual jumpgate. Funnily enough, I'm familiar with something similar - back in the Retroverse where I came from, one of the planets had statues set up representing the other five planets, and you had to pray in front of them to be transported."
Athares nods to Agris, definitely, at that.
Athares looks to Desmet. "Do you think you might be able to help Relee and I learn more?"
Relee says, "Yeah! If I can get in there safely, I should be able to see if there are any leftover effects or phenomenon present. If we do repeat the experiment, with preparation I should be able to track anything sent away."
Desmet nods head, "I can try. If there's anything to read or sense in this room, or Relee readings to double check, I'll take a look."
Athares ponders. "We might need more measures against the celestial..." Then looks to Mako. "Would you be able to help with that?"
Desmet chirrs, "I was hoping Mako would be able to help, yes."

Dawnwing says, "We seem to run into a lot of those in our line of work, don't we?"
Desmet . o O ( It's okay, Mako. We don't want to slay *you*. It's all the other Gods we worry about, you know? )
[OOC] Athares says, "The magitek repulsor is a spaceship module in the landing hub. The anomaly source is a large machine built into the central pyramid. Two entirely different things."
Mako says, "More than I'm comfortable with, honestly. :x"
look mako
Wah! Mako has made a few... changes... this time around, although how much is intentional is perhaps up for debate. Floating here is a female red panda, a far change from the usual! She has the same curves as she always did, covered with a soft reddish fur, except on the front where it turns to a pitch black, and whitish markings on her cheeks, pointy ears and nose. She does not seem to have gotten the transformation /quite/ right in this case, noticeable in the case of her chest, which appears to have gained a cup size in the transition, and she is having just a little difficulty adjusting to this. Her hair is a snow white, done up in a bun with a needle through it, and striped with deep royal purple.
Her hips sway when she's idle, Or perhaps she just lounges in the air, floating as if gravity will have nothing to do with her. She wears a kimono today, of a loose, baggy variety best suited to her current slightly enlarged frame. On the upside, it's a /nice/ kimono, of a deep royal purple like the streaks in her hair, offset with little white sakura petal and lightning-like stitches, descending into black at the bottom, and tied around around a deep blue sash at the waist. Behind her, a pair of fluffy ringed tails swish around agitatedly, alternating red and white in fur color, but you'd swear the white bands seem to pulse and glow different colors with barious background noises!

Chevesh flicks her tail, idly, and turns to nuzzle at Mako. "Well, you are the closest we have to an expert. I lost my god and abandoned all of my god-killing weaponry. Even that didn't really make me any kind of an expert... I'm sure that knowledge is all hidden away or corrupted behind the walls by now."
Mako will square away her find with help, and then return to the ship. "I AM a god. I'm just not on duty. This is not my domain. But I CAN whip up a few protective charms. Not like we're short on materials...."

Chevesh shakes her head. <No, I agree with them. This is Xedwa. If any of the gods from down below are still around here, they have a lot to answer for. Though, of the lot, I'd say that Kaphre is the one who deserves to answer for the most. One of them is a god who killed their entire planet, and Kaphre still manages to be the one I'd be most scared of.>
Mako rifles through materials recovered. "I'll need metal, and a gem if someone can find one, and I can put together a charm. I'm more of a Guardian Kami, anyway."
( Dawnwing's likely to be helpful in getting that module moved and loaded at least; thing's big and heavy! Metal and gems are pretty ubiquitous in the magitek here, if synthetics count. )

Mako can show off a bit, here. She touches a finger to an ingot, and draws it out, as if it was a liquid, spinning it into a thin, thread-like substance.... Then gets out a second ingot, some fabric, and a gemstone.....

[OOC] Kandra says, "No*"
[OOC] Kandra giggles at Chevesh. "Okay, but what about the white foxes?"
Mako weaves the metal like a thread through the fabric, and uses it to fuse a gem into the material itself. In her hands, the metal flows like liquid. She then begins etching symbols in the air, and pushing them /into/ the gemstone. The symbols are not standard, at least, but magically speaking, they're sort of like words of admonishment.
[OOC] Chevesh says, "Servants of Inari. His messengers."
ooc white foxes? *smiles*
[OOC] Agris says, "white foxes? *smiles*"
[OOC] Kandra was addressing that mainly to Niny'ah
Desmet perks ears up. "Oh, that is impressive..." They muse, rumbling quietly.
Mako then produces some slips of paper and begins scribbling symbols onto them with the metal like an ink. "Are you familiar with Ofuda?" She asks, almost conversationally.
Desmet chirrs, "Ofuda...?"

Desmet blinks, and looks over to Agris. "Yes? Oh, thank you." They blink.

Agris smiles
Chevesh pauses and turns to Desmet... but, they're busy, and she leaves them be. She pads up to Athares, and prepares to speak. But, he's busy as well. And Mako is -certainly- busy. She decides not to bother any of them, keeping her distance and padding a wide circle around the platform as she watches.
Athares shakes his head. "I'm not, though I do respect the potency of this." He leans forward a bit, curling his tail around to gaze through his light.
Athares does notice Chevesh though? "If you have something to ask, I can multitask."
Chevesh pauses with a paw held up in mid-step, and aborts it as she curls back around to return to Athares. <What are you all doing?> She sends quietly. <Is this to peek into the divine realm? I am kind of familiar with Ofuda, but not to any deep degree.>
Niny'ah watches, without much comment
Mako says, "They are slips of paper with spells and prayers engraved on them. Onmyouji and Miko, Priestesses and a kind of civil servant slash exorcist would use them. Often used to cast and produce spells easily. I am creating a charm of protection, and some talismans containing admoishments. It's like yelling "Screw you." but with a supernatural fist to the solar plexus."
Desmet chirrs, "I see. Your preferred method of protection against the celestial and divine?"
Chevesh perks her ears at Mako, considering that for a moment. <I fucking -adore- that explanation. Hell yeah, I'm on board. I would offer to help scream 'screw you,' but, there's no air to talk with.>
Mako says, "The charm contains a light barrier like mine, but sadly with only a fraction of the power. The spellcards... well, I have no diea what to expect. So, the best defense is a good offense. And a good defense."
Desmet chuckles. "With Chevesh's history, that might pack a punch."
Athares says, "Mako is providing protection against the celestial fields ahead of us." He then perks. "Oh, scrolls." He smiles a hint, musing. "I wonder if technological cassette tapes can be used like Xedwan ones for that?"
Mako says, "I once met a priest who was skilled enough to write legal documents that were capable of causing physical harm. Without hitting someone with them."
say please protect my tail
You yip, "please protect my tail"
Chevesh looks over to Desmet, and obscures their visor by covering it with a broad lick before turning her attention back to the ritual. She looks down, and allows her claws to flash and disappear... replacing them for now with the faintly green-glittering, transparent glass-covered mindglass claws, with the silver cores. Just to be prepared.
Dawnwing says, "Some of the people you meet make me afraid, Mako."
Desmet acks! at the lick, but chuckles, rubbing their visor, eying the green glass claws. Oh, that's an interesting shimmer...
say oh wow
You yip, "oh wow"

You yip, "Chevesh! Very pretty claws"
Mako ohs, and scribbles one other different symbol on the last paper, then sits up, and shakes out the cards. "And one trump card just in case."

[Chevesh's Den]
Stepping into the hollow tree, you find not a home, but literally what looks like an animal's den. The entrance has no door on it, merely a gap leading into the hollow space inside the tree... though it is roomier than it would have appeared from outside, as the entrance curves toward the left, leading into a slightly underground crevice held agape by the surrounding root system.
It is far too small for the average-sized person to walk into upright, necessitating crawling... but, down at the end of the burrow, it provides someplace cozy, safe, and secure in which to sleep. And that seems to be all that the occupant wants from it, right now. Save for a thick blanket, that has been laid down directly onto stone and earth, with the Patashu Industries logo on it. It doesn't look like one of their products for sale... it could possibly be stolen from one of their facilities.

Chevesh's mouth quirks at the corner in a faint grin, and she splays an ear aside. "Ah, it might not suit your tastes. I'm not a real Kitsune, you see. And I never was. I couldn't learn the magic, I couldn't be a spirit, and I couldn't feed from the thirteen elements... part of why I stopped trying, and just rebranded myself as a nogitsune, becoming a pain in the ass of the Lady's court."

Chevesh purr-rumbles, settling down to lay partially over you, splaying a paw out to curl out her claws and comb them through your chestfur, prickling and scraping over the skin beneath in a kneading motion. Her ears splay and eyes squint a bit as your claws cup her muzzle, the points of them against her... and then she twitches a bit at the little sparks jolting her skin, causing her to stiffen slightly and her hackles to rise with each little jolt. "Close your eyes for a moment." She vibrates as she rumbles deeply, flicking her tailtip.
ooc hackles?
[OOC] Agris says, "hackles?"
[OOC] Chevesh says, "It's the term for the fur along the back of the neck and shoulders. The fur that tends to stand up when the skin tightens, usually indicating stress or alarm, or signaling during play."

Chevesh's body shifts and seems to vanish over you for a moment, beset with the whirring and clanking sound of machinery being re-arranged. Then soft fur over warm skin returns, and a trio of tails with remarkably soft and flowing fur flick up to drape over you and brush along. "Okay, you can open them now." He says, nuzzling at your muzzle. "And as for the question of how to use your claws, well... " His still hooked and catlike claws on his paws curl out once more, petting down the fur of your side... before curling in and drawing up against the lay of your fur, scratching circles upward over your skin. "... aside from actual violence... this is kind of what I meant."

You yip, "honarary fox"
look Chevesh
Upon first glance, the fox before you seems quite graceful and elegant. Though, time will tell whether he bothers to live up to such first impressions.
He's almost, but not quite, six feet tall. With the sleek and firm body of a dancer or a gymnast, he carries himself lightly as though he weighs nothing at all. His soft fur is a light charcoal grey in colour, with creamy white running down from just under his chin, to travel over the feathery tousled fur of his chest, and across his sleek belly, to end halfway down the inside of each thigh. His legs are long and firmly muscled, ending in broad digitigrade feet. His hands, though, are the only part of him that cannot be described as lithe and graceful...they are more like broad and short-fingered paws, and watching him move, you get the feeling that he is probably every bit as comfortable on four legs as he is on two, transitioning between the two forms of movement at a moment's notice.
A black knit crop top clothes his chest, with a zipper in the front that is usually pulled down at least a bit to allow feathery curls of white chestfur to peek out. It has a slash-neck collar, leaving his shoulders bare, and long sleeves that come down all the way to his hands, secured there with holes for his thumbs so that they almost function as fingerless gloves as well. It leaves the majority of his soft belly-fur exposed from just below his chest, down to the simple black pleated skirt that girds his hips, hanging down to about mid-thigh and swaying about his legs much as his tails do...a slit gap in the back of that skirt allows those tails to swing free, preventing them from lifting up the skirt unnecessarily, as they would had they been left beneath it.
His legs, from just below the knee down, are fastened into heavy leather, not unlike boots. But rather than actual boots, they seem designed for his digitigrade feet, opened to slip over his legs and cinch tight with a series of straps and silver buckles. The front of them is left open, to allow his toes and the claws thereon to remain free. Those claws, as well as the ones upon his broad fingers, are a bit larger, sharper and more catlike than the ones you might normally expect to find on a fox...
...but then, he's not exactly an ordinary fox, either. He has three long tails emerging from behind that never sit still, swaying and brushing through the air. Two of them are the same grey as his fur, but the third is a stark white that seems out of place. He seems very fond of his tails, occasionally running his paws through their long silky fur.
His head has no longer hair upon it, being sleek and more naturally vulpine in shape. Though, there is a clip with a long purple ribbon on it tied into a bow resting at the back of his head, the long trailing ends of which hang down behind his shoulders. And his shining yellow eyes are shadowed in a curious choice of deep violet...the contrast of those eyes can cause his gaze to be quite piercing at times, and they flash with reflected light when night falls around him.

Chevesh laughs softly, dipping his muzzle under yours to press his mouth up against your neck and take a light bite of it, gnawing past your fur for a moment. "I like to think I'm pretty skilled, when I bother to put my mind to it." He smooths your fur back down, and slips a paw behind your back, smoothing down your fur before curling his claws out and sinking into the fur to scratch, trying to prick your spine into an arch against him. "But I'm intrigued... you -also- have electrical claws, and not so crude as mine. So teach me."
pose yips softly as you skillfully bite over their exposed neck, "straight to the point i see" Agris wraps a paw over your ribs and applies pressure, pulling in though only just enough to puncture your skin with their sharp, pointed tips. That's all they need before they send a mild high frequency electric current inside which feels most like a turgid tugging sensation over your whole left side. Agris speaks in a calm but devious and controlling voice "be careful there chevesh, Unless you'd like me to continue~"

spoof a bellow of warmth flows up from their neck and can be felt over your nose in your mawgrip you have. The exact opposite sort of thing you'd expect a creature to do in such a situation as more warm blood flows to the area. Perhaps it's a sign of trust, or arousal

Chevesh laughs quietly, flicking his tails. "Well, of course I get straight to the point. I'm the one who asks strangers I've just met to let me hunt them, and usually succeed. I'm fairly pointy, from many angles." He presses forward, pulling you up against his belly fur as he sits up, his jaws around your neck gnawing up and down your throat in slow bites. With his claws scratching up the small of your back and pulling it toward him, he leans forward to bend you backward into a beautiful curve that draws your skin tight against him, in answer to 'why go for your spine.' His mouth rattles lightly with a low growl around your throat, though he hasn't broken skin in any way, nor deployed any shocks. He stiffens and sits up as your claws dig into his ribs, eliciting a draw of breath from him as his skin twitches, causing his fur to stand up... and then the current shooting into his ribs causes him to spasm, pulling his paws in and inadvertently biting down on your throat as his jaws clench at the shocks, surprisingly sharp teeth finally puncturing through heavy fur to actually well your skin and bring up many warm points of blood on his tongue. The fur of his tails stands up as his growl becomes lower and more real.

I'm not that judgmental... though I do have a habit of rebelling and growing violent when people try to control me. That's probably the only thing to watch out for, unless that's the sort of response you're looking for."

Chevesh stiffens continually under the little jolts and the claws on his side, his tails puffing up and falling flat again as they stiffen and sway. His ears, splayed, are a little warm and flushed along the inside as a pink tint grows up the bare inner skin... and how could you know how much he loves being shocked, really, before now? Twitchily, he loosens his jaws around your throat again, huffing hot breath to curl through your fur as he passes his tongue over your fur to lap up the spots of blood... only occasionally biting down a bit as you jolt him. "I'll try to remember that... " He mutters breathily, sliding his paws down behind you to curl his clawtips up beneath you, pulling you up and against him to better seat his maw against your throat, drinking in the warm spreading flush of your pulse beating against his tongue as he rolls backward gradually to lie on his back.
[OOC] Chevesh says, "Oh, don't worry about it. I disagree with anyone who tries to tell other people how long their poses ought to be. I don't care if it's people saying 'your poses should be shorter' or people saying 'your poses should be longer.' They're all wrong. Just write how much you need to write to feel like you've portrayed what you're trying to say. That's the important part."

Agris's tail swishes back and forth in your periphery vision as they drag a single claw over your chest scratching along in a line and emitting a corona that seeps into you through your more conductive blood letting up as they move upwards. they point their nose down and growl, biting into your left shoulder, and licking over the spot between your neck and shoulder with their warm tongue, electric blue symbols beginning to flow over their cheeks and face.

Chevesh pulls his knees up a bit to cradle you between his warm thighs, giving you a squeeze between them as his three tails flick back and forth, occasionally drifting against you and brushing down your side like a warm blanket, his paws pulling you down against him as his back rises slightly, pressing his soft-furred chest up against your prickling clawtips and your soft warm pads. Despite himself, he has to grin and emit a quiet giggle at that. "I think you're delicious." He murmurs, tugging at the skin of your throat lightly between his teeth and savouring the taste of you, before running the side of his muzzle up alongside your face to press it against the stiff base of your ear and nuzzle into its warm cup. "You know, people get me all wrong... I think biting, hunger, they're the most honest and primal expression of need, really. Something deep, something dark crimson. If we'd had more time, I might have asked to hunt you, instead." He murrs and slips his tongue out to run it along the inside of your ear, dipping around the inner edge of it to slip its tip just barely into the side of your head. "Sadly, that's really not the case, and I'm going to need to leave---" his breath catches as he shudders at the susurrations of current seeping into his chest, arcing his back up gradually and stiffening beneath you as though to stretch, his fur rising and dancing as the skin below tightens and relaxes in waves in response, his head ducking to the side to press against yours as you dip to bite into his shoulder, causing it to bunch up and try to catch your muzzle between his shoulder and head, growling softly... but in that manner of a play-growl, preceding a clamping bite over your ear.

Chevesh tilts his head, his muzzle twitching as his whiskers splay upon being played with. He slowly shrugs, with a wry half-smile, reaching up to cup his paws along your ribs just below your shoulders, scratching with his claws along your back and your side as he presses his paws down either side of your body together, squeezing lightly and pressing you down until his paws end at sliding over your hips. "Why go for the spine? Why... I just really love the beautiful curve that a person's body makes, when they bend inward toward me. Pressing their shoulders back, drawing the middle of their back against me... it makes the whole front of their body taut and tight against me, from throat to groin, with their head cast back and their throat in my mouth."

I can talk with computers at very low power. But if I try to do anything you'd be likely to feel well, it's like... well. It's not precise. And it heats up my claws from the resistance.

Chevesh grins and reaches down to cup your rear, curling his fingers beneath your tail to securely pull your groin in very tightly against his, where a similar hard swell lurks just beneath his skirt. He squeezes his thighs around your hips, rocking them back and forth lazily to the sway of his tails as he nibbles lightly along the edge of your jaw.

Chevesh slowly grins, rubbing your hips against his in the cradle between his thighs, slowly grinding the hard bulges together until it aches. And the material is thin enough that you can actually feel him pulsing and twitching a bit beneath the material. "You can certainly groom me any time you like." He murmurs sweetly, nuzzling against your ear. "But if you want to get under my skirt... you'll have to hunt me for it." He ducks his face down, and licks along the top of your muzzle. "Goodnight, Agris... you can sleep here, for tonight, if you like. I'm afraid the rest of my 'home' isn't much to look at, though. Just temporary storage space, really. My real home is at Patashu's."

Chevesh ponders that, splaying an ear aside and flicking his tails. "Really?" He ponders. Then he noses up, and clamps his teeth around your throat, clutching you tightly against him in his arms as he growls around your sensitive flushed throat and gnaws at it fondly. Then, bastard that he is, he immediately falls asleep to avoid the repercussions.

SpinDizzy General News
================================================================
AUP - SpinDizzy's acceptable use policy
privacy - Explanation of the privacy policy
legal - Our legal document. You must read and agree to this.
alts - SpinDizzy's alternate character (or 'alt') policy
civics - Outlines the civic responsibilities for users and
staff on the muck.

acceptable behaviour.

================================================================
news behaviour
Every now and then it's a good idea to remind folks that we do, in fact,
have an Acceptable Use Policy on this muck. Generally, it's fairly
relaxed, but occasionally there needs to be some interpretation on the
part of the wizards about how it applies to everyday life on the muck.
One such area where problems of interpretation occur is what is and is
not considered suitable behaviour for a public area. The AUP has this
to say:
"Be a nice person, give other folks a fair shake, don't be a jerk,
realize that a wizard is never merely *suggesting* that you knock
it off."
So what behaviour would go beyond the bounds of the AUP? In simple
terms, anything that is upsetting to another person. If you're in a
public place, and it becomes clear that what you're doing or saying is
upsetting someone else in the room, then clearly you should stop.
But what if you think that person is being overly sensitive about what's
happening? Well, it really makes no difference. You're in a -public-
area, and are obliged to modify your behaviour according to the people
around you. Why? Well, consider how you'd behave if you were out to
dinner with a bunch of your close friends compared to if it were your
grandmother. Depending on your grandmother, I'd suspect it'd be quite
different. Something that your friends would laugh at, might very well
be offensive to your grandmother.
So how do we 'be a nice person, and give other folks a fair shake'?
Simply, if you're upsetting someone, you must stop, no matter whether
you think they're being thin-skinned or not. From the other point of
view, if someone is upsetting you, you should politely tell them this
and ask them to stop. Asking someone (or being asked) like this is
-not- a cue to start an argument about what is and isn't OK for a public
place. If someone asks you to stop, there -is- no further argument. If
you feel they're asking frivolously or maliciously, then take that up
with a wizard, not with them.
Of course, what you do or say in private is your own affair - people
can always leave if they don't like what's happening. But in a public
place, everyone has as much right to be there as you do. If you want to
carry on a conversation that someone objects to, you have lots of
options. You can take it to another room, moves to whispers or pages,
or just drop it and pick it up later.
An exception to the 'private' rule is when your interactions in
private (non-public rooms, pages, whispers, etc) cause distress or discomfort
for another player, and they express the discomfort to you. In such a
situation, the offending behaviour should stop (the AUP still applies even in
private situations) and the player should be left alone. Players may discuss
concerns with a wizard should they feel uncomfortable about something happening
in private; the wizard can offer advice and, as needed, talk to the other
parties involved.
Given SpinDizzy culture and player expectations, some issues do not depend
on who is in a public area with you, such as sexually explicit descriptions
and behaviour. You should automatically expect someone to be uncomfortable
with either. There are other, age-restricted mucks that allow such
things, so please keep them there, as the Spindizzy staff has little desire
to police 'adult behaviour' on the muck. Whether in a private or public
sphere, if an administrator must get involved in such an issue, whether
because they're hearing about it from players or an argument has come up
about what 'adult behaviour' is, you may assume you've gone too far,
and that your behaviour is unacceptable.
So, acceptable and unacceptable behaviour in public is really a sliding
scale. What might be funny to one group on one day, might be offensive
to others on the following day. Everyone expects to be treated with
respect. Nobody should feel forced to leave a public area because they
find themselves upset by the actions of others. Conversely, no-one
should feel they can't discuss a reasonable topic in a public place. So
please make sure you extend this same respect to those around you, and be
on the look-out for when your behaviour crosses the line from being just
off-colour and becomes offensive.
This policy document has been written to allow people to understand how
the wizards will interpret the AUP with respect to behaviour. It does not
lay out any new 'rules' nor 'rights'. The AUP is the basic criteria by
which the wizards make their judgements.

[Chevesh's Den]
Stepping into the hollow tree, you find not a home, but literally what looks like an animal's den. The entrance has no door on it, merely a gap leading into the hollow space inside the tree... though it is roomier than it would have appeared from outside, as the entrance curves toward the left, leading into a slightly underground crevice held agape by the surrounding root system.
It is far too small for the average-sized person to walk into upright, necessitating crawling... but, down at the end of the burrow, it provides someplace cozy, safe, and secure in which to sleep. And that seems to be all that the occupant wants from it, right now. Save for a thick blanket, that has been laid down directly onto stone and earth, with the Patashu Industries logo on it. It doesn't look like one of their products for sale... it could possibly be stolen from one of their facilities.

A Patashu Industries logo glows in the fur of their rump, while a collar around the fox's neck reads in tiny print, "Souvenir Pocket Fox - 2021 Spindizzy Olympics". If you've a sense of these things, you can tell that the fox is a tiny robot under the fluff, though the lack of breathing may have already given that away.

lookat trunk's mask
This is no great work of art, it is true. At first, it looks like it might be printed, but close examination will make evident the lines of a common graphite pencil over a sturdy paper fiber. The crispness of the lines makes it seem like it might have been drawn by some automated machine, programmed to turn photographs into drawings by way of algorithms. Thus, its first impression is that there is no feeling, no actual heart behind it. It's too stark, draw-by-numbers. However, some far more clumsy attempt has been made to shade it by hand after the lines have been laid down, graphite smudged intentionally to blend in an impression of directional light and shadow. This attempt is far more imperfect, and honestly, not very skilled. But it attempts to add real feeling to what would otherwise be a dispassionate copy of an image.
The image is from a low angle, looking up at a tall and imposing canine striding toward the viewer at a 3/4 perspective toward the left of frame. He is dressed in a long dark coat, the bottom of which flares out around his legs, giving an impression of a brisk and powerful stride. The inside lining of the coat has an interesting pattern sketched in, giving the impression that it's armoured along the interior. His face is covered in a lightly-coloured mask of some kind, reminiscent almost of a kabuki performer's mask, with no mouth or jaw, allowing the grim set of his own jaws to remain visible beneath. The shape of the head, the ears, the jaw, all give the impression of a doberman to anyone who might be familiar enough with canines.
Behind the trailing edge of the coat, the background behind the figure shows a rabbit and some kind of dark cat, huddled and peeking from behind cover. But much less effort has been placed into these figures, and they don't draw the eye immediately. Lines that seem to indicate some kind of gunfire streak toward the central figure from out of frame, impacting and glancing off near the canine in mid-air, the impact lines describing a curved force against which they strike, not otherwise drawn. Held out in the figure's left hand, angled low behind them and to the side to trail them as they walk, a very long slightly-curved nodachi with a square angular tip is drawn at the ready. The length of the blade is ornamented in sweeping and curling lines stylistically portraying flowing water and frothing waves, in which equally stylized illustrations of fish swim.
At the bottom, words are written. 'Mask, with Jiyu. He died saving ten billion souls. He marched against impossible odds without hesitation, with nothing but a sword and a shield, and made a difference. In the end, he laid down his life so that his companions could live, and made a hell of a mess of the enemy doing it. Wherever you are, Mask... if you actually are anywhere... I hope you're still fighting the Good Fight.'
Somewhere on the muck, Myril has disconnected.

Nostme'urra, first among divinities, survivor of the universe-that-was. Bringer of the end of all that is, tied to existence in chains. May your cries for justice not fall on deaf ears. Those of us who linger in the wake of your passing bleed for you in our flesh and spirit.
In hearing of your torment, we are tormented in kind. In the sharing of your prison, we are imprisoned at your side. Your life gave us life, your words gave us wisdom, and the peace you seek is our only goal. We pledge this to not be an empty promise, but a declaration of will.
We, the Adrastai-ka, your children in whom you confide, pledge this space as a monument to those who will fall for opposing you. Let their worlds burn, their peoples turned to ash and dust, before they can ever rise to oppose your deserved mercy and escape from a universe that both rejects and restrains you. But your words of mercy will never be forgotten. Those who struggle against the end suffer by their own choice, in rejecting a peaceful path to nothingness.
We will wait for your return, when the path to the end of all futures has been cleared. We will repay your guidance, and your gifts, by letting none of the pillars of creation stand in our way as we make possible the only thing we could possibly give to you. The great collapse will be ready to recieve your touch.

Albia - Rainforest Floor
This rainforest isn't the tropical kind - instead, it's populated with a mix of large conifers, deciduous and evergreen broadleaf trees, and numerous smaller shrubs and bushes. In places, large rocks and boulders litter the undergrowth; in others, ferns, mosses, and other forms of vegetation run rampant.
It's a perpetual twilight here beneath the canopy, though a few rays of light filter down, illuminating fungus on fallen branches. A stream runs through the forest, trickling down towards the sea. When the wind blows right, you can spy the peaks of the Purple Mountains far off in the distance.
A small clearing hosts a small campfire surrounded by stones. Nearby, a few huts perch precariously on stilts, while small caves and hollow tree-trunks abound to accomodate those with simpler tastes.
A large staircase has been cut into a living conifer tree, winding up into the foliage, though vines and branches offer a faster route for the dexterous.

Albia - Rainforest Floor
This rainforest isn't the tropical kind - instead, it's populated with a mix of large conifers, deciduous and evergreen broadleaf trees, and numerous smaller shrubs and bushes. In places, large rocks and boulders litter the undergrowth; in others, ferns, mosses, and other forms of vegetation run rampant.
It's a perpetual twilight here beneath the canopy, though a few rays of light filter down, illuminating fungus on fallen branches. A stream runs through the forest, trickling down towards the sea. When the wind blows right, you can spy the peaks of the Purple Mountains far off in the distance.
A small clearing hosts a small campfire surrounded by stones. Nearby, a few huts perch precariously on stilts, while small caves and hollow tree-trunks abound to accomodate those with simpler tastes.
A large staircase has been cut into a living conifer tree, winding up into the foliage, though vines and branches offer a faster route for the dexterous.

[Chevesh's Den]
Stepping into the hollow tree, you find not a home, but literally what looks like an animal's den. The entrance has no door on it, merely a gap leading into the hollow space inside the tree... though it is roomier than it would have appeared from outside, as the entrance curves toward the left, leading into a slightly underground crevice held agape by the surrounding root system.
It is far too small for the average-sized person to walk into upright, necessitating crawling... but, down at the end of the burrow, it provides someplace cozy, safe, and secure in which to sleep. And that seems to be all that the occupant wants from it, right now. Save for a thick blanket, that has been laid down directly onto stone and earth, with the Patashu Industries logo on it. It doesn't look like one of their products for sale... it could possibly be stolen from one of their facilities.

look Chevesh
Upon first glance, the fox before you seems quite graceful and elegant. Though, time will tell whether he bothers to live up to such first impressions.
He's almost, but not quite, six feet tall. With the sleek and firm body of a dancer or a gymnast, he carries himself lightly as though he weighs nothing at all. His soft fur is a light charcoal grey in colour, with creamy white running down from just under his chin, to travel over the feathery tousled fur of his chest, and across his sleek belly, to end halfway down the inside of each thigh. His legs are long and firmly muscled, ending in broad digitigrade feet. His hands, though, are the only part of him that cannot be described as lithe and graceful...they are more like broad and short-fingered paws, and watching him move, you get the feeling that he is probably every bit as comfortable on four legs as he is on two, transitioning between the two forms of movement at a moment's notice.
A black knit crop top clothes his chest, with a zipper in the front that is usually pulled down at least a bit to allow feathery curls of white chestfur to peek out. It has a slash-neck collar, leaving his shoulders bare, and long sleeves that come down all the way to his hands, secured there with holes for his thumbs so that they almost function as fingerless gloves as well. It leaves the majority of his soft belly-fur exposed from just below his chest, down to the simple black pleated skirt that girds his hips, hanging down to about mid-thigh and swaying about his legs much as his tails do...a slit gap in the back of that skirt allows those tails to swing free, preventing them from lifting up the skirt unnecessarily, as they would had they been left beneath it.
His legs, from just below the knee down, are fastened into heavy leather, not unlike boots. But rather than actual boots, they seem designed for his digitigrade feet, opened to slip over his legs and cinch tight with a series of straps and silver buckles. The front of them is left open, to allow his toes and the claws thereon to remain free. Those claws, as well as the ones upon his broad fingers, are a bit larger, sharper and more catlike than the ones you might normally expect to find on a fox...
...but then, he's not exactly an ordinary fox, either. He has three long tails emerging from behind that never sit still, swaying and brushing through the air. Two of them are the same grey as his fur, but the third is a stark white that seems out of place. He seems very fond of his tails, occasionally running his paws through their long silky fur.
His head has no longer hair upon it, being sleek and more naturally vulpine in shape. Though, there is a clip with a long purple ribbon on it tied into a bow resting at the back of his head, the long trailing ends of which hang down behind his shoulders. And his shining yellow eyes are shadowed in a curious choice of deep violet...the contrast of those eyes can cause his gaze to be quite piercing at times, and they flash with reflected light when night falls around him.

look Plasma
I don't see that here.
look chevesh's Plasma
Glowy, rolly, it doesn't get more eyecatching than this! It looks much like what it is: a plasma globe without need for a base, the inner high voltage electrode connected to the tetrahedrally arranged rods (containing the power source) linking it to the 15cm-wide outer ball, filaments of purple and blue-white glowing plasma trailing within. Extending from the orb are six black rubbery streamers each 20cm long and lined with conductive nanotubes carrying a noticeable but non-damaging electric charge similar to a van-de-graff generator.
As it's all contained in the ball, it can be rolled around freely. Or kicked around. Or batted around and thrown at things. It's made of the same stuff armored port windows are made of, so it can deal with a good bit of bouncing around. The streamers are likewise kevlar-tough, good for quite a bit of being chewed on and clawed at. There's a switch on it where one of the posts meets the outer orb to toggle it, an adapter port on another to recharge it with. A hazard note: while the conductive streamers aren't likely to hurt anyone, they should still be kept away from sensitive electronics and flammable materials. Unless you're trying to make a mess.

This large tract of meadow lies to the south and west of an amusement park. Its large, lighted sign proclaims it to be "Edgeworld Park," and in smaller letters, "Home of the SpinDizzy Fair." Even at some distance, the roar of rides and crowds can be heard, giving the meadow a sense of life and excitement. The tops of tall rides can be seen, and some large buildings that look like barns. By day it is a cheerful enough sight, but at night it becomes magical, a glittering city on the sea.
To the north, the meadow gives way to a strip of sandy shore. Beyond it, the Glimmersea sparkles and crashes. To the east, the ground seems to abruptly stop, giving way to open sky; it looks like the edge of the world, and indeed it is. The park has two gates, one larger one to the south -- the Main Gate -- and a smaller one on its west side.
A road leads south from the Main Gate, disappearing into the distance. Another leads west from the West Gate.

Medical Bay(#27436RLJ)
While the rest of the base focuses on providing folks with non-organic options for new bodies, mechanical and electrical products, the Medbay is for providing medical assistance to organic folks. The Medbay is a large area, with one part of it being lined with [biobeds] that have large, holographic panels in the wall behind each of the biobeds to automatically begin displaying the information each of the beds begin to provide when occupied.
There's a closed off area with a sign above the double doors that slide open, that says 'Operating Theatres' on it. The Medbay has a total of 4 operating theatres, fully equipped for any type of surgery that might need to be done. There's also another section that's a medical lab, with reinforced, silver counters, taking advantage of the anti-microbial properties of silver, as well as sterile field generators. It's full of various things from beakers, test tubes, and vials all the way to the equipment needed to run tests on things collected from patients.
Next to every biobed is a [workstation] for use by the medical professionals who work in the Medbay. Other than the workstations, there's multiple [crash carts] that are kept ready for any emergency in which they'd be needed.
Off to one side is a large area whwre various medical scanners have been set up to assist in diagnosing patients. It's a mix of both portable versions as well as permanently installed. There are portabke medical storage cabinets, as well as a few mounted kn the walls near the biobeds, kept locked by variohs electronic locks.
Closest to the entrance of the medbay, off to the right side is an office for the doctor who's in charge of the medbay.

Based on that, I'll culture a body of your own stem cells, inject them into the wound, and encourage it to heal faster with their regenerative properties."

Medical Bay(#27436RLJ)
While the rest of the base focuses on providing folks with non-organic options for new bodies, mechanical and electrical products, the Medbay is for providing medical assistance to organic folks. The Medbay is a large area, with one part of it being lined with [biobeds] that have large, holographic panels in the wall behind each of the biobeds to automatically begin displaying the information each of the beds begin to provide when occupied.
There's a closed off area with a sign above the double doors that slide open, that says 'Operating Theatres' on it. The Medbay has a total of 4 operating theatres, fully equipped for any type of surgery that might need to be done. There's also another section that's a medical lab, with reinforced, silver counters, taking advantage of the anti-microbial properties of silver, as well as sterile field generators. It's full of various things from beakers, test tubes, and vials all the way to the equipment needed to run tests on things collected from patients.
Next to every biobed is a [workstation] for use by the medical professionals who work in the Medbay. Other than the workstations, there's multiple [crash carts] that are kept ready for any emergency in which they'd be needed.
Off to one side is a large area whwre various medical scanners have been set up to assist in diagnosing patients. It's a mix of both portable versions as well as permanently installed. There are portabke medical storage cabinets, as well as a few mounted kn the walls near the biobeds, kept locked by variohs electronic locks.
Closest to the entrance of the medbay, off to the right side is an office for the doctor who's in charge of the medbay.
Chief Medical Officer: Dr. Kobalt Amber, M.D.
Doctor(s) on-call: Dr. Kobalt Amber, M.D and Dr. Tobias Underwood, M.D.

-0-
Standing before you is a hi-tech feral robotic dragon, some 25ft long and 8ft to the shoulder. Layered with angular, geometric plates all over that gleam a polished silver, the dragon's aesthetic design conjures an elegant and personable appearance, managing to move fluidly and gracefully with a high level of articulation. Interestingly, it is safe to pet and stroke anywhere - the metal is soft to the touch and nothing is sharp enough to hurt or pinch if not engaged in a combat situation.
-1-
Starting with the head that cranes down to inspect you, a familiar beaked axehead shape that flattens on the left and right, and has the upper arch up then jaw jut down with a sharp tip to overtake the lower jaw, has a flattened top with two horizontal bands mimicing the scales an organic dragon might have there. Purple camera optics glowing purple gaze at you behind translucent screens that flicker with a golden HUD, shifting and focusing. Two horns with a spiraling indent run straight back, curving downwards before straightening out and tapering to sharp points. Earfins made of smooth metal struts and sails are highly articulated and used to convey emotion, while three 'spines' that travel down the back of the dragon's head fan downwards towards the neck, but can flare out to show surprise or tension. When the jaw gapes open, a hint of a breath weapon cannon can be seen.
-2-
Traveling downwards, the dragon's neck is segmented with overlapping sections that have similar cross-sections - boxy and metal, yet aesthetically stylized to appear elegant and 'organic' as much as the rigid confines of the stylization can manage. The front of each segment is pushed out to form a 90 degree angle, with a small square 'outcrop' that overlaps the segment below it (closer to the dragon's tail end). Similarly, the back of each segment is slanted backwards on each side, coming together at a point overlapping the segment below it. This pattern continues all the way to the dragon's tail, the armour above and below framing the articulated segments underneath.
-3-
The dragon's shoulders are layered in geometric 'frames' of armour, that expose the omni-directional spherical joints on the sides, glowing purple as they shift and orient. Framed from above and below by more artistically geometric plates are the dragon's forearms, ending in enlongated talons that carry a surprisingly high degree of dexterity and can be used for fine manipulation despite their apparent bulkiness overall. In comparison, the hip segments are far more bulky and boxy, consisting of single segments with the purple Patashu Industries ( https://i.imgur.com/kAPgEhg.png ) logo on them, exposing the omnijoint at the base as they lead into the bulky hindlegs that end in sturdy, arched eggshell talonned footclaws that are stable enough to stand and skid upon.
-4-
Similarly jointed are the wings, their omnijoint bases framed by a 'fan' of multiple overlapping plates that stick out radially, the wingspan made up of a series of strut-framed metal sails, able to snap out into a full set of dragon wings or tuck in close to the dragon's sides, sticking upwards and backwards at a diagonal angle that leaves nothing to bump or scrape into anything close to the dragon's flanks. Finally, the tip of the tail has an interesting twin spike tailspade, fanned like a U shape around an exposed omnijoint, its glowing purple flats exposed above and below, doing double duty as a holo-projector and manipulator.

Albia - Purple Mountains(#14563RLJ)
The misty mountains towering up before you are magnificent, but also slightly unreal, as if painted onto a canvas backdrop. In comparison, the small tended garden visible off a side-path appears reassuringly solid - although it seems to get larger the further in you go . . .

Albia - Rainforest Floor
This rainforest isn't the tropical kind - instead, it's populated with a mix of large conifers, deciduous and evergreen broadleaf trees, and numerous smaller shrubs and bushes. In places, large rocks and boulders litter the undergrowth; in others, ferns, mosses, and other forms of vegetation run rampant.
It's a perpetual twilight here beneath the canopy, though a few rays of light filter down, illuminating fungus on fallen branches. A stream runs through the forest, trickling down towards the sea. When the wind blows right, you can spy the peaks of the Purple Mountains far off in the distance.
A small clearing hosts a small campfire surrounded by stones. Nearby, a few huts perch precariously on stilts, while small caves and hollow tree-trunks abound to accomodate those with simpler tastes.
A large staircase has been cut into a living conifer tree, winding up into the foliage, though vines and branches offer a faster route for the dexterous.

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'.

[Chevesh's Den]
Stepping into the hollow tree, you find not a home, but literally what looks like an animal's den. The entrance has no door on it, merely a gap leading into the hollow space inside the tree... though it is roomier than it would have appeared from outside, as the entrance curves toward the left, leading into a slightly underground crevice held agape by the surrounding root system.
It is far too small for the average-sized person to walk into upright, necessitating crawling... but, down at the end of the burrow, it provides someplace cozy, safe, and secure in which to sleep. And that seems to be all that the occupant wants from it, right now. Save for a thick blanket, that has been laid down directly onto stone and earth, with the Patashu Industries logo on it. It doesn't look like one of their products for sale... it could possibly be stolen from one of their facilities.

Upon first glance, the fox before you seems quite graceful and elegant. Though, time will tell whether he bothers to live up to such first impressions.
He's almost, but not quite, six feet tall. With the sleek and firm body of a dancer or a gymnast, he carries himself lightly as though he weighs nothing at all. His soft fur is a light charcoal grey in colour, with creamy white running down from just under his chin, to travel over the feathery tousled fur of his chest, and across his sleek belly, to end halfway down the inside of each thigh. His legs are long and firmly muscled, ending in broad digitigrade feet. His hands, though, are the only part of him that cannot be described as lithe and graceful...they are more like broad and short-fingered paws, and watching him move, you get the feeling that he is probably every bit as comfortable on four legs as he is on two, transitioning between the two forms of movement at a moment's notice.
A black knit crop top clothes his chest, with a zipper in the front that is usually pulled down at least a bit to allow feathery curls of white chestfur to peek out. It has a slash-neck collar, leaving his shoulders bare, and long sleeves that come down all the way to his hands, secured there with holes for his thumbs so that they almost function as fingerless gloves as well. It leaves the majority of his soft belly-fur exposed from just below his chest, down to the simple black pleated skirt that girds his hips, hanging down to about mid-thigh and swaying about his legs much as his tails do...a slit gap in the back of that skirt allows those tails to swing free, preventing them from lifting up the skirt unnecessarily, as they would had they been left beneath it.
His legs, from just below the knee down, are fastened into heavy leather, not unlike boots. But rather than actual boots, they seem designed for his digitigrade feet, opened to slip over his legs and cinch tight with a series of straps and silver buckles. The front of them is left open, to allow his toes and the claws thereon to remain free. Those claws, as well as the ones upon his broad fingers, are a bit larger, sharper and more catlike than the ones you might normally expect to find on a fox...
...but then, he's not exactly an ordinary fox, either. He has three long tails emerging from behind that never sit still, swaying and brushing through the air. Two of them are the same grey as his fur, but the third is a stark white that seems out of place. He seems very fond of his tails, occasionally running his paws through their long silky fur.
His head has no longer hair upon it, being sleek and more naturally vulpine in shape. Though, there is a clip with a long purple ribbon on it tied into a bow resting at the back of his head, the long trailing ends of which hang down behind his shoulders. And his shining yellow eyes are shadowed in a curious choice of deep violet...the contrast of those eyes can cause his gaze to be quite piercing at times, and they flash with reflected light when night falls around him.

lookat Chevesh's table
The simulation materializes a scene of a tall ornate stone archway. There are no walls or ceilings attached, leaving it standing alone against a backdrop of incredibly clear night sky, except that the stars are rotating overhead more quickly than they normally would, arriving into view and tracking across the tableau in only a few moments before disappearing again. The scene beyond the archway is almost Grecian in theme, a pale stone making up the shallow steps leading up to a courtyard beyond, freestanding ornamental columns supporting a roof that doesn't exist. There are walls, further inside, of varying height, overgrown with bright green lavender-flowering vines growing from narrow strips of grass stark beneath the night. Wherever the light illuminating this place comes from doesn't seem important, or taken into account. Here in this lower courtyard, a series of padded massage tables rest near a shimmering, heated pool of water with steps leading into it, and a larger swimming pool can be seen half behind one of the dividing walls further toward the left. Many long asymmetrical couches sit out beneath an overhanging awning of wires draped with flowering plants as though for shade, despite the lack of any sunlight to shade ones'self from.
Further beyond, on the other side of the courtyard, the ground rises up, and a set of shallow stone steps leads to a second archway. There is a shimmering light beyond it, and a warm breeze flows through that archway to lazily brush over skin and fur without being strong enough to even play with strands of hair. That second archway rests in the middle of a high dividing wall that blocks off the remainder of the area from view, though the archway itself lies open and without any door. It feels like a temperate tropical night, not warm enough to be muggy. But once stepping inside, turning around will reveal a basketball, tennis and a volleyball court, along with a few pool tables beneath the turning night sky... and then, beyond them, a sudden dropoff into space, curving around the area to either side with the texture of unworked craggy stone.
The second archway, at the far end of the courtyard, will reveal another sort of scene when Voksa and Azure peek through it. The reason why the starfield is spinning overhead so rapidly is revealed. Beyond, is a long crescent-shaped flat bit of ground scattered with soft sand, much like a beach. But rather than bordering an ocean, it ends at the edge of space itself. This entire resort is a single small asteroid spinning around the edge of a circular pool of dazzling light... normally, it would be blindingly lethal, but for some reason the current scene ignores that. It is the edge of the accretion disk of a black hole that greets them, something having recently fed and now spiraling inward toward an invisible center that warps the light around it like a distorting lens. Immense columns of searing light and gasses appear far above and below, projecting into the empty black, and the roiling light roars past as the spa is whipped around its outer edge at dizzying speeds... it must surely be speeding up, but as of yet, the stars in the sky have not yet become blurred streaks at least.

Object Hammer V. 2.61 -- by Ginger Editing: white winter gloves
1. This object's desc is 'The gloves upon inspection look to be extraordinarily soft and well made with stitching and grey velvet around each pad. Whomever made this put a lot of effort into them. Those with more unworldly senses might notice that these gloves aren't made of any ordinary fabric but rather a manifestation of Ichor. A powerful aura of mischievousness and fields of nogitsunic origin can be felt emanating from the gloves. There's enough of it that to the ordinary, untrained senses it feels like they are charged with the subtle dry prickle of static electricity'.

Object Hammer V. 2.61 -- by Ginger Editing: white winter gloves
1. This object's desc is 'The gloves upon inspection look to be extraordinarily soft and well made with stitching and grey velvet around each pad. Whomever made this put a lot of effort into them. Those with more unworldly senses might notice that these gloves aren't made of any ordinary fabric but rather a manifestation of Ichor. A powerful aura of mischievousness and fields of nogitsunic origin can be felt emanating from the gloves. There's enough of it that to the ordinary, untrained senses it feels like they are charged with the subtle dry prickle of static electricity'.
