WEEK 4

[bathymetric]

Another trial, another week, and still you're probably running lower on answers than you'd like. And on people - you lost three since last Sunday. By the end of this week, you'll have been here for nearly a full month, yet still the days crawl on.

You wake up Sunday, again with no memory of Saturday, but this time with a simple message on your devices: You may resume requesting items, if you like. Enjoy. Guess it really was just a stealth motive after all, but at least it's being communicated that it's over! That's something, at least.

And when you leave your rooms on Sunday, there's another new area to explore! This one is... certainly more ambitious in its construction than the last one, to say the least. But hey, you have a pretty neat place to host parties, if you feel so inclined! That's... fun...

Hey, you gotta find the fun in situations like this where you can! Silver linings, right?



SUNDAY | MONDAY | TUESDAY | WEDNESDAY | THURSDAY

[ ooc: Welcome to Week 4! Remember to turn in AC here, threads for regain coins here, and if you feel so inclined you can visit Angel's office hours over here! ]

Oh, I've never heard of that! I don't think there's any rope in there, though. Maybe in the workshop, but I guess I haven't been in there much.

[She just...likes making soft things?]

[fivestagegod]

There isn't really. I spend a lot of time in here [making THIS SHITTY THING] so I'm kind of familiar with it? Not extremely, but enough.

[lovelikeyou]

That's too bad.

[But she doesn't even know what macrame is, so nbd]

Are you still going to be able to move all the arms when that's done? [MARIONETTE ABOMINATION]

[fivestagegod]

Probably not, but it's not really meant to be a functional...whatever it's ending up as, anyway.

[HELLPUPPET HELLPUPPET]

[lovelikeyou]

That's fun, too!

[It's ART!]

Some Gem fusions have multiple arms, like that. I was part of one who had six once.

[fivestagegod]

...Is that a natural thing? [...how do you word this damn question.] Or, well...I guess "are they supposed to have multiple", is more what I mean.

[lovelikeyou]

Most fusions involving different types of Gem have more than usual of something. I think it's more likely when there's more than two people involved.

[She shrugs a little.]

Things like that weren't allowed on Homeworld, so all I really know about it is what I've seen myself.

[fivestagegod]

How do you...do it? If you don't mind my asking.

[lovelikeyou]

You have to be in tune with the other person. A lot of Gems will dance to do it, but you don't have to. If you know your partner really well, or you both really, really want to, it can be easy. You just...

[She laces her fingers together, searching for a term.]

...merge your light.

[fivestagegod]

So it just kind of...resonates, I guess.

[Huh.]

I've never heard of anything like it, though I guess it's fairly obvious why.

[lovelikeyou]

[She nods.]

We can't do it with humans. I've tried before, but you aren't made of light.
