((The night was so dark that the exploration team had been struggling to get through the brush – slapping themselves in the faces with ferns and stumbling around in the pitch-black. You couldn't have told the tsabhua from the kukuri, their forms all-black down to only their voices and blinking eyes. All until a bright light had filtered through the distance. "This way," March Hare had breathed,...

The start of mid-shemesh, marking the start of the warmer season, was marked with a party by the tribe that lived in the canyons and ravines. A ceremonial opening of the extra ventilation they kept closed during the winter, a time for airing out and cleaning before the true heat of the desert settled in. Sunlight and Inky were visiting for the celebration, bringing some gifts and snacks. Some others of Skyward colony were there to celebrate, but they were off in the crowd as Sunlight...

Garnet and Sky were on their way to do their first real deep dive supervised by Sapient when they heard the pattering of feet on the sand behind them. They turned to see Zulli bounding after them, a wide, mischievous grin on her face. "Found you!" Sky tilted their head. "You were looking for us?" Zulli huffed. "Of course! I wanted to know where you were sneaking off too!" "But… we weren't sneaking…?" Garnet blinked slowly at the youngster, bemu...

"Are you sure this is a good idea?" xe called to Sky over the ((hungry rumbling rush of the water as it clawed at the shore. )) Sky, who seemed completely unperturbed by the weather, just grinned back. "Yep! I've been out here on worse days, and I'm still here, aren't I?" "That's not comforting," Garnet m...

((Pearl skipped down the trail, her little paws leaving prints in the wet melting snow. Before long the snow down here in the lower lands would be completely gone. Even now blades of green grass were bravely poking up through the snow, seeking the warmth of one of the two suns. Evergreen trees on either side of the trail had long lost their own collected snow and the bushes under the tree canopy were covered in white and pink flowers.)) "I can't believe we get to learn how to swim!" ...

"Like I was saying, real nasty place. Aren't you soo glad that we don't live here?" The fur of Skritch's head was spiked and sticky, with smears of the same gummy goo across his pelt. "Yet, I explicitly told you not to stand under the giant mushroom as I sliced off the sample," Shenzi muttered back weakly. "Why did you even want to come with me, again?" The black tsabhua had traveled here to meet Van Callis, an expert on the rare species of mus...

((The noise filling the air from the crowds bustling among the market streets of Naveh was somehow simultaneously a pleasing background noise, and also entirely overwhelming for the many visitors and tourists to the city. The vibrant colours from the market stalls banners flapping in the dry desert breeze accented by the flow of colourful pedestrians and their equally colourful garb created a shimmering river of colour along the streets)). Remi and Nee'la, a roaming pair visiting from Mireh, ...

Waveform stared out the window of the flyer with unabashed curiosity as the ground below ((transitioned from the snowy mountains of home to the orange-red desert of Issiq, spotted with rocky outcrops that rose high into the air. They watched in fascination as the flyer descended towards one, a mesa criss-crossed with the dark lines of ravines.)) Parhelion nudged them and then shoved them over to hog the window for himself, and Waveform let out a protesting noise at his conduct. ...

One of the downsides of mining in Issiq, Boti's tribe was discovering, was that the sand got everywhere. Even into the mines. "It's a never ending battle," Kukimbia grumbled, leading Ambergris and Depths towards the mine's entrance. "You think you've cleared it out but no, some more appears overnight. I swear it's breeding in there." Depths snorted in amusement, and was about to add something when the high sound of youngster's voices echoed down the tunnel, and Clay and Garn...

Research by DPIP indicated that the ocean held the lowest education rate out of all of the regions of Xiunus, and a plan had been put into place to alleviate that: A small school that had opened up on a large, central island, inviting any colonist to fully funded classes. Skritch had been incredibly hesitant to send any of the Sea-Cucumber Colony's residents, as time spent in college was better used mining precious gold and gems for their charismatic leader. Akira had only managed to convince...

The Medical Mushroom Mayhap

Literature
The City of Naveh–if you could even call it that–was more akin to a red crater. The structures were formed out of the thick, red clay, forming tunnel-like abodes with several sets of doors and windows. The tallest red brick buildings formed the watchtowers, which were visible well outside the stone-tooth perimeter wall. Though it was only late day, the sky above was an eerie dark purple that tinted the buildings and pelts of inhabitants. It was better than the long desert that the ...

Maema had been meeting with Hamster regularly for months now. At first she hadn't believed what the belemoid had to say, but then she'd been horrified. She had never dreamed of how the DPIP had really been hurting the people of Xiunus. It made her feel hurt and guilty to have participated in it. Hamster had also taught her some other things, of course– picking locks, picking pockets, and picking good marks. She'd also taught her how to make a mean egg salad, but that wasn't relevant to the ...

((Naveh's pillar walls stretched up out of the edge of the crater like teeth, giving the city the impression of being the open mouth of some massive animal. The oppressive, organic-looking layout of the buildings lent some credence to that hypothesis.)) The atmosphere of this place made Maema nervous, and so did the thick crowds. ((The lavender morning was smothered by smoke from early cooking fires and the normally sweet-smelling breeze was so acrid it made her eyes sting.)) So many people i...
