As part of the celebration of springtime was cooking. So much cooking. As the grip of winter faded and food became more readily available, it was traditional to celebrate with food. Bloodstone lead the way to Boti's tribes kitchens, chattering cheerfully to Whiteout and Splash who looked around with interest. ((Neither of them had been this deep in the tribe's tunnels, winding through the orange and gold sandstone of the hills. The kitchens, what with the heat the ovens radiated, and...

Now that the winter storms were letting up, travelers were coming in to trade with Skyward, and some brought their youngsters with them so that they could learn about other colonies. Nova, Noodle, and Sky were giving Dionysus, a youngster from WhiteRaven, a tour and some advice. They had met him at the transport pad, ((earlier in the morning while the sky was still clear and there were only the barest wisps of clouds building. The amethyst tone of the atmosphere lent a dreamy tint to...

"What took you guys so long?" Skyner said as his two companions walked or slithered off the gang plank and onto the dock where he had been waiting for them. ((He kicked off the remains of the fish he had procured while waiting. They hit the water below with a soft plonk and quickly sank out of sight. )) "The water looked cold. This is Rekes after all. Not the warm waters of Issiq," Charai reminded the belemoid. "I would have jumped but Charai said not to," Spalla said quietly. S...

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 upside of using older technology was that it was simple to repair, and often cheaper than buying brand now. The downside… well, the downside was that it had a tendency to break down more often than newer equipment, as Bloodstone, Noodle, and Splash had just discovered the hard way. The flyer, on its way from Rekes to Mireh to do some trading, had jolted suddenly mid-flight, alarms blaring. The trio had wasted no time donning the emergency parachutes and abandoning ship, even though the ...

The tunnels that Depths' colony lived in were tame compared to the old ones that ran through the mountains. Whether they were the remnants of lava tubes, the wear of water, or were the veins of some long-ago beast as the stories went, he didn't know. What mattered was that they were eerie. But, they had needed minerals and ores, and so he was gritting his teeth and going in. Ambergris had brought from friends from elsewhere, Solar and Spring, to give some insights into mining as they w...

"I don't know about you brother, but I was hoping that there was more to this land." Delano said ((as he and his brother, Ferdinand, looked out across a vast plain of golden fields for as far as their eyes could see. The golden fields waved gently in the slight breeze.)) "It's pretty." Ferdinand said quietly with a slight shrug. ((The two of them waded through the golden fields, leaving behind a trail of bent plants behind them.)) As they walked they began to notice a smell. It wasn't ...

Noodle was still nervous about being a doctor for zir colony. The pressure to do good that ze inflicted upon zirself was intense, but it came from a place of wanting to help people. It was a double edged sword, and ze was doing zir best to navigate it. One thing, though, that ze enjoyed, were the small checkups or treatments of the youngsters. One youngster that Noodle saw a lot was Whiteout - the youngster had been sickly from a young age, and today… well, today Whiteout had somehow...

Nova was helping to tend the aerobic in the colony's infirmary, and kept having to shoo the youngsters that had found them away. Sky, at least, was willing to sit quietly and help him bandage the small scratches on the aerobic and other small tasks. Parhelion had been away, being dunked into the bath by Rocky, but soon he had appeared to jump around the small infirmary, a resigned Whiteout following behind. "Oh, can you stop that!" Nova worried as Parhelion hid under the aerobic's bed....

The sandstorm that had nearly overtaken Ballor had only worsened after they had reached the shelter of Boti's tribe's ravines, the wind screaming outside like a vengeful spirit. Depths and Nova had been here helping the tribe with some mining, and had stopped by to say hello to Ambergris. "Like the weather?" Nova asked cheerfully, and Ambergris snorted, brushing sand out of aer fur. "I think I like the air a little better when it's not solid, y'know?" Nova ...

Quirk, a tark'ee the color of matcha with a pelt vibrantly spotted with koi, hopped up onto the smooth boulders. A dark bracelet curled around one of her front wrists, obsidian-black with a stripe of blue upon the stomach. "Ahem," she coughed to clear her throat, and absent-mindedly twisted the bracelet around her fingers–revealing that it was not a piece of jewerly, but a newborn creature: A draconic tark'ee, by any means not much larger than a garden snake. "Hear ye, here ye!" She called,...

((Though storms in Rekes were common and nothing usual, the one that had struck last night had been a beast. Even tucked away in their caves within the mountains, the screaming of the wind could clearly be heard, and occasional lightning strikes made the lights dim briefly. The youngsters had been nervous, and today, with the air cleared and the sun shining,)) Rocky was hoping to take them outside and cheer them up. Sky had immediately bounded out the door and into the sky, chirping ha...
