kintsugi IN SPACE

I would love if there was a known schedule of when weather will happen. That would be so cool. I like weather, but I love being able to prepare for it more.

 

"And on Wednesday, we'll have a lovely blizzard. Don't put those flip flops away though, because on Thursday it's going to be perfect beach weather, with a sand castle building contest! The use of antigrav engines in this contest will disqualify you though!"

 

Soul builds a magnificent sand castle, gets horribly sunburned, and does not exist for the following week.

 

Ay, Mirrors can probably faciliate lecture broadcasting. And most other kinds. Though only probably alongside a more usual tv network.

 

Wes finds the sand confusing.
And starts eating a sandcastle.

 

Um, kintsugi colony is under a dome. Weather satelites wouldn´t really work. Also you are refering to landmarks we don´t really have.

 

Snitch invented most of our planetary system and some of the colony´s outer structure.

Anywhere? Maybe near the hall of small fandoms? (Which does have a media room for movie nights, but there´s no reason we can´t build a theater, although in that case a stage for live action productions might also be an idea.)

 

We don´t have an arcade yet. Also as for weather organizing, you would need to talk to the programmers. (You are aware this topic is OOC right?)

 

Since we have people lecturing about their special intersts on tv in Kintsugi, whose vexilology show taught a cat to recognize the flag of Switzerland but didn't teach him what a human smile is supposed to look like?

 

What's Kintsugi's population? Besides "really diverse" how many people do we have? There's 21 profiles on the profile thread, plus we had a handful of mini-nonnies join with the last radio episode (what happened to them?) but that's not everyone. Seebs didn't put up a profile but Jesse mentioned her in Wes, Bump Into A Robot and she's also in the radio show.

& I feel like the town doesn't feel THAT small, like, it feels more like at least twice that big or more? I mean, yeah, small, but not less than 30 people! Especially since we hve our own radio show AND NEWSPAPER??

(I want to see more from the mini-nonnies. Do they feel really close to each other because they used to be in the same faceless legion? Do they want to be more individual? Do they like being a collective but just want to be a collective that shares Kintsugi's values? Do they want someting in between? Is it hard to make choices on their own? ARe they really, really, really scary-good at consensus and working together? Who's rping them anyway?)

More things: I really like the suggestion upthread to have a theater for live plays and use te Hall of Small Fandoms media room for movies. But what movies do we get on Kintsugi? Do we have Earth stuff that exists now irl? Do we have future space movies? Do we have both & we consider the stuff that really exists "classics"? Do we make our own? Do we have the same movies as they have in Tumblrtopia?

Speaking of Tumblrtopia, & tying tis back into the population thing: I think we said we started as refugees from Tumblrtopia, but most of the profiles we have now are from alternate universes or are a cat that never lived in human society before. We have a distinct lack of Tumblrtopian refugees, especially for a colony founded as a refugre from Tumblrtopia. Let's invent like a dozen expat Tumblrtopians! If nobody wants to make "their" character one of those we could just have them free for anybody to use when needed. That's help make a bigger town and make more sense. Sound like fun?

 

I agree. Also the slow collaborative worldbuilding to me is more fun, it gives it more of the feel of a colony where bits and peices get added on over time.

Also Cody is a tumblr refugee. They just don´t talk about it much.

 

Mirrors is also probably a Tumblr refugee! They won't talk about it, like Cody, but they always get grumpy when it's brought up, and take an unholy pleasure in giving Tumblrtopia officials the runaround.

 

Cody usually has fun anoying tumblr officials, but sometimes when tumblr type topics come up they wtill go quiet and walk of, to eventually be found in a corner curled up in the smallest ball possible.

 

Oh also, is => Wes, remember open to anyone?

 

I thought it might be good for people who can´t do mouthnoises? Might be an electronic one, dunno.

 

Yeah I just kind of felt like kintsugi's population was
Like
Anyone on the forums?
Because I was just looking at it as a weird little AU for real life

And yeah I deffo don't want to have to read a manual
Like at some point I may need to check a map
But I like just being able to check each other with "does this sound legit y/n" because I feel like the tone comes across pretty good.

Intern Moss has probably, at some point, run across tumblrtopia, and has some old friends there because Moss believes in networking like hella.

Any other of Moss' dealings with tumblrtopia are generally not discussed, as Moss believes firmly in the here and now, a belief that is only backed up by the fact that Moss' data banks are sometimes prone to short circuiting.

Sometimes Moss knows things without necessarily knowing where that information came from, which seems to be useful in a Kintsugi Community Radio Intern. Moss accepts this as part and parcel of how weird life is these days.

(Kintsugijin seem to be a singularly private community of, oddly, both very open and very secretive people.)

 

interestingly enough, i have actual real life experience making a newspaper, and zero actual real life experience making a radio show. i find this amusing.

also i find it very amusing that Moss short-circuits on occasion. we probably have some backups of your databanks. somewhere. they might have gone to the library when we were renovating. oops.
