northling asked on Log - June 2025/Pre Event FAQ at 2025-06-02

Answer date: 2025-06-03

for the bridge, will aves types still be able to fly over with the Squid there? would a suitably tiny aves go unnoticed?

and if they can, are there teleportation devices that could fit in a carry-on suitcase?

(if the answer to both of these is yes, this is the month northly is forced to deal with how useful a skillset flying + inventory is)
The squid has some very long tentacles, but an Aves flying high and discreetly enough could probably slip past. Very sneaky....

Unfortunately, some of the parts of the teleportation device are larger than that, so wouldn't be able to fit in a suitcase. She wouldn't be able to carry over a whole panel on her own. However, there are multiple pieces to their construction, and some of those components would be able to fit in her inventory. So even if she couldn't put together a whole thing, she could take care of some of the parts.

Wild golems - would it be possible to find some weird little walking rocks while foraging? 👀 TY They are pretty uncommon... but it might be possible to spot the occasional little ambling rock formation out there. Maybe they're drawn in by the Augmented Golems in the vicinity...? A sign that it's safe to come out of hibernation? But yes they may be spot.

opposed asked on Log - June 2025/Pre Event FAQ at 2025-06-02

Answer date: 2025-06-02

I close my eyes... mods, I'm so sorry for these dumb questions.

1) For Aves/people with more sixth sense or empathy-related powers, what would they be able to garner from the squid? Or from Kelesis in general? (If this will be answered on the log, feel free to skip this question and tell me to be patient!)

2) When you say "attractive and scantily dressed" for the Smooth Grind... What might that look like, and would the Augmented flagging people down ALSO be wearing that kind of uniform? Or nah?

From redsoil

Adds on to here w/ permission: for characters who can also directly speak with animals, what else might be uncovered from that angle? let's not SQUID about the INK-SSUE!

1. The log will have some more information on Squid Interaction, and on the approach to Kelesis. More questions would absolutely be welcomed on the log post! But empath-types, Aves (and also other cephalopods), or people otherwise good at reading animals, would be able to pick up on the squid being intelligent, curious, and immensely lonely. For Kelesis, each of the 'sensitive' types will have a different experience, different things they'll be attuned to.

2. It's not too scantily dressed, but there's some amount of leg showing. Far more close-fitting compared to everyday wear, items that show off a neckline, that accentuate a waist. A tease similar to formal-wear, but it's also clearly not formal, so it comes across as a bit daring to Karterian standards. As long as Augmented fit the 'vibe', they won't be constrained to a particular outfit- especially as the point is to show off those fine (but only a little scary, and most of all not dull) Shifted/corrupted features! They don't want those wings hiding under long sleeves, or lovely whipping tails to be disguised under coats! They want those features accentuated!

Response to redsoil

More information will turn up with the log, but characters who can talk to animals will definitely be able to communicate to some degree with the squid. It'll be somewhat different from the experience of talking to either an animal or a person- like some bizarre halfway point, something that had forgotten how to talk to anything. Its thoughts are LOUD.

flamechase asked on Log - June 2025/Pre Event FAQ at 2025-06-02

Answer date: 2025-06-02

coming back with the questions as i am wont to do...

i really like the summer solstice prompt with all the eyes and stuff, and since elysia's shifted form does come with a bunch of extra eyes, i wanted to know if the eyes that appear on their bodies are like, random eyes/space's eyes?? or if it'd be ok if i took an itty bitty detour here and had elysia shift instead, so the eyes growing on her body are just the eyes that come in her shifted form... if that makes sense?
The eyes can take all sorts of forms, they can match what a character has, they can be wildly alien, they can be different animals, or things that are only vaguely eye-shaped at all... it's a world of eyes out there. So Elysia could have her shifted-eyes wherever and however you like!

flamebears asked on Log - June 2025/Pre Event FAQ at 2025-06-02

Answer date: 2025-06-02

hello mods! i've kind of been operating under the assumption that spectral-types are aware ( either formally or through Vibes ) of their impending deaths as corruption continues, and please correct me if i'm wrong!

if that's true: were a spectral-type character happens to start feeling ANTSY about their Impending Death and approaches Patho-Gen about medical/scientific interventions ( outside of the posted efforts ) to stave off the Corruption — essentially volunteering for MORE — what kind of response might they get? patho-gen already put this guy back together ONCE, since he arrived Dead... sorry ny'all
It's not widely known, but The Vibes Are There... really, Patho-Gen could have done with providing a manual about what to expect with some of these types (then again, it's possible that they don't know the details themselves). Hopefully as Spectral-types start dying off, they can spread that exciting potential to other Spectral-types. But regardless, how much a character can 'sense' of their impending death as a Spectral-type is up to the player, so it's certainly possible to feel it coming.

Given that this impending-demise-antsyness is due to the Natural Soul and not an actual failing of the body (though they would certainly want to try to clear that as a possibility), they wouldn't treat the task of stopping the process that seriously. Your Spectral-side knows what they're about. However, Patho-Gen would be interested in observing the process, and would welcome someone regularly coming in to get a load of tests done, really get a feel for how things are deteriorating, if it's something that can be measured. They might present this scientific curiosity as 'help staving off Corruption'... but in truth, they are more interested in seeing it play out.

honorism asked on Log - June 2025/Pre Event FAQ at 2025-06-02

Answer date: 2025-06-02

hi sooo if someone were to go bug-hunting in the swamp, would they find just regular ol' swamp-bugs like we have in the real world, or are the bugs Different?? I've been going with the assumption all the bugs are basically the same but figured i should ask since Helaena...loves bugs....and catching them.... It would probably be a mix! Familiar bug, unusual bug... not even necessarily unnaturally mutated bug, but just the result of evolution taking some of the bugs in different directions. Of course, there are the occasional ones that seem to have been mutated by arcane radiation, given that their developments are more... haphazard. Dragonflies with extra sets of wings, mosquitos with far too many mouthparts, water striders grown too heavy to stride. Most of the nonfunctional ones are just eaten by something else in the wetlands, but some of the developments might be advantageous, or at least not too much of a hindrance. A toxicity that makes them repulsive to the ambient amphibians and birds, or appendages that mimic the local snakes... nature is beautiful.

So really, she can find a combination of familiar, similar-but-localized, bizarrely-mutated, and mixes of all of those....
