Dumping some interesting info I sort of worked up for Void, along with a couple doodles/color stuff. Spoiler: More on Void critter Void is a weird being who likely is actually an inter-dimensional traveler. They kind of seem to come and go as they please, sometimes appearing when no one is sure HOW they would get there. Their mouth opens wide enough to fit a large sized watermelon in there! Technically they could swallow it too, as their internal organs and skin is extremely stretchy. They have four nostrils, one set of which is very adept for making their whistling noises. Their fur is the softness and texture of kitten fur, and is very fun to pet. Their colors actually change color on their whims, likely because their biology has cells similar to octopi. They can't change markings, but they can change the hue. The little antennae bauble glows if they want it too! Technically they are sexless, UNLESS they want to be something else. Possibly cyclic hermaphrodite. Haven't decided. Possibly able to breed with most beings under certain circumstances??? They have lots of squishy nip nops who knows. Their blood is likely black, or at least extremely dark colored. Yes I think about things too much. Will shovel this character away for use in something else later too probably.
jesse, you know, the farmer? said one of his robots has gone missing. it has six legs and answers to 'spackle'. it was last seen wearing a miniature sombrero.
@Kaylotta I know I'm late to the party, but: Kite from the library has called in, and said a new library room has been excavated. The books look to be on (insert interesting/weird topic here), and are currently held in the transition room, to check for damages and to enter them into the system while the room is being cleared and upgraded for library use, and cannot be accessed at the moment. The books from last excavation, on (insert another interesting/weird topic here), have been fully equipped with RFID chips and moved back into their room, and can now be checked
Oooooh I want to play. Definitely Scientist/ecologist, probably spends a lot of time trying to help Jesse have what he needs depending on soil type. Probably also does lots of exploration near ruins and discovering neat places and things. "Dr. Raire announced that she's discovered a new species of space manatee in what she is calling "hella cool springs". She proceeded to mutter about quasi wormholes but your announcer didn't understand more than three words in ten. In related news we have 15 new members from the future! Apparently ectobiology is afoot again so don't forget to sweep up paradox dust around your homes" I dunno I feel like I could be cooler xD
for the community radio script: "Ivy has sent in a reminder about the monthly measurment taking. As always you are welcome to bring in anything frayed, chewed on, or ripped you want mended or replaced. Remember, folks: Only clean and whole clothes can guarantee optimal protection. Also new clothes. You definitly all need new combat suits. The designs will be done in time for measurement taking."
Aaaah community radio script! /late because lazy brit I don't really have anything to add for it but I am mad excited to hear. Also would like to suggest more generally that the mobile phone equivalents on the colony should totally be mirror compacts. Remember all, if you hear knocking noises in your pocket, it's probably me trying to get your attention because you haven't been answering your damn 'phone' and for some reason people have been complaining to me about it! Also remember to tag all mirrors you don't want used as communication devices with the appropriate runes or I can't be held responsible for accidentally routing someone through to the wrong reflective surface. If you know what I mean. EDIT: the 'appropriate runes' are probably something along the lines of 'GTFO' or 'no, fuck off' written backwards on the mirror surface. I am a simple soul, you know.
Hehe. Well, I can bake cookies, so I could also bake icecream sandwiches. But not cat shaped ones. Pawprint shaped maybe.
@TwoBrokenMirrors Speaking of community radio, may I suggest that when you're "giving tumblr officials the runaround" you occasionally put them through to the radio station? I mean, if it wouldn't be too traumatising for @Kaylotta and the listeners. I think it would be hilarious for them to come in all Take Me To Your Leader, Problematic Scum and get "I'm afraid I can't reroute your call to the Complaints Department from here, but while you're on the line, if you can get this bit of trivia right, you can win a small but interesting prize!" in response. ...You could also totally send them to Space Me, who would be very confused as to why they've called Satellite Maintenance when they don't want their satellite maintained, did they want the Emergency Art hotline instead, wait why do they want to talk to the leader, do they mean management, was it something she said, look, she doesn't have a file in the Compaints Department yet and would like to keep it that way, how about settling this with a discount on that art, what do you mean you don't need any art, everyone needs art. #i'm having way too much fun with this #someone send help
If they get rerouted to the library and get me, I will ask them to tell me the title if the book or movie they want. Or the author at least. Leader? that´s really not specific enough, sorry.
Of course once everyone is done playing with them and they're still on the line you can tell them you're referring them to someone who can help better and send them back to me...
I love how much this thing has exploded. I haven't actually described myself yet! I think I'm my icon, a really tall elf with with pink hair and mismatched eyes who likes sweater vests and button down shirts. Also the rose earings because earings. I think I might be one of the kids living on kintsugi who wanders about and helps keep the structure in place? (i would think writers would be important for that)
I wanna be a SPACE SIDHE. Only half exists on the physical plane, maybe a remnant of whatever lived on the planet way back when? Except it doesn't remember what happened except that the others "went away" and left it behind to look after things. Sometimes just a beam of light, sometimes a vaguely human entity of mysterious and indistinct gender. Has a bad habit of talking directly into people's brains instead of making actual face-sounds and has to be reminded BOUNDARIES GODDAMMIT. Don't eat anything it offers you. You won't be trapped forever or anything but you might sprout an extra limb or end up speaking tongues for a while. It likes to hang out in the library when it's not floating around the various archeological sites or hanging out in the fields. If no-one minds maybe progress finding out about the original occupants is kind of slow because whenever someone tries to investigate some of the major sites it flips its shit. (Those would be the equivalent of faerie mounds. Everything else is safe to investigate/dig at.) No one's been hurt and it's always really apologetic afterwards, but it's always really awkward and kind of scary when it happens. (It was left as a guard for the barrows and goes straight into Protect Mode when they're 'threatened'. It's not even a voluntary thing, it just happens.)
*scribbling down notes from @jacktrash and @whimsicalobservant and @Elaienar and @littlemissCodeless and @Lazarae and and and...* i dunno guys, i think i might have to do more than one episode. o_0 y'all really like this idea.
Wes calling in to say that his magic seems to be over acting again, do not come within a few feet without permission or you may be doused with sparkles and i know that can cause some sensory issues for some people, which i really don't want to do. (I think that's how I fight the SJs, by throwing sparkles and rainbows and such.)
