Ember and Snowfall had, indeed, shown back up, covered in dust. Pepper and Mystery had both breathed a sigh of relief and arranged for minders for them, while they dealt with what they had come here to do. Or… tried to, in any case. Riad and Comet had come to learn about the ways of camouflaging in the desert, where cover was sparse, and Pepper overheard them talking when they came back from one of their excursions. "And Cindex said they'd never seen the oasis so empty…"...

An upside of having a friendly tribe in the desert that Skyward had close ties with was the ease of trade, and shared use of their mines, among other things. The downside was that the youngsters always wanted to come along… and always managed to get themselves lost. Pepper and Mystery were doing their best to find where the current miscreants - Snowfall and Mistwatch had got off to, while not losing track of the ones they knew where they were. Mystery was asking Ballor if he k...

Though Fog and Fallow had been much more comfortable in the depths of the Ocean, they had been curious about Skyward's friends in Issiq. Mystery and Waveform had offered to introduce them, with the caveat that they would end up helping them in their mine, since Skyward needed some tin for some new picks. Fog and Fallow had been understanding, and so the trip was on! ((They all watched the desert flash past beneath the flyer with curiosity, staring with wrap attention at the ...

Ocean mining, sapient, indigo | Fallow, Fog, Mystery, Depths, obs Pepper Deciding that, perhaps, caves beneath the mountains were not the best places for those with wings, Depths was introducing Fog and Fallow to Sapient and their methods of mining underwater. Mystery was also getting introduced to the experience of mining underwater, and Pepper was coming along in case anyone needed help. Given her adaptations to swimming, it was always good to have her along in the water. ...

After meeting while gathering poppies, Fog and Fallow had decided to meet more with the colony 'over the mountains' as they put it. It seemed that Skyward had a good few caves with nice ore deposits nearby, and their inhabitants were happy to share with Fog and Fallow. Inky lead them towards the tunnel entrance, with Waveform talking to Fog and Fallow behind. They each carried some tools to measure the ore in the walls, except for Inky who instead had some mapping tools with them. Th...

It was a warm day for the mountains, and so Comet and Crevasse had stepped out to go foraging for some poppies. It was still too early in the season to find berries, yet, but Noodle had asked them to find some poppies so ze could make some more painkillers. Mitro had agreed to show them where a good bed of the flowers were, and so Comet and Crevasse were waiting for them when they noticed some unfamiliar shapes circling in the sky above. "Do you think it's Snickerdoodle or Sky?" Comet ...

Though those that made their homes under the water lived in a far different environment than those above the surface, they still had valuable insights and shouldn't be discounted. Glow, Whiteout, and Ambergris were visiting Sapient's tribe that lived in the depths of the ocean, and both Comet and Mistwatch had begged to come along. Glow was fairly sure they only wanted to look at the fish, but giving them a trip couldn't hurt. As their colony didn't have a dock as it wasn't ...

"What do you mean the flyer's broken?" Spatter stared up at Splash, blinking disgruntledly, wrench held in her tail. "I mean it's broken." Nova flicked Splash lightly with his tail as Noodle stepped in. "How broken…?" "Well, you technically could fly it. But it's a coin toss about how far you'd get before you go crashing down in flames." Noodle and Nova exchanged a look, and even Splash seemed put off by that. "How long will it take to f...

Noodle, dissatisfied with the compendium DPIP had sent their colony about the effects of the local flora, had decided to take matters into zir own hands. Nova and Splash had been - unwillingly - roped into this scheme, but when Noodle promised that ze wouldn't send them out for basaraytz fruit anymore, the two readily agreed. How bad could sampling some unknown flora be, anyways? Noodle wasn't stupid, and had asked the natives that lived in the area which plants were toxic, ...

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...

The flyer set down in the fields of Mierh on a landing pad set up and maintained by the local tribes so that the vehicles weren't landing willy nilly all over their lands. Sunlight, Spatter, and Marin stepped out, blinking in the light, and looked around uncertainly. Glow had described what they needed to find and what not to collect, and showed them examples. ((But it was still different, going from the tall mountains of Rekes to the rolling plains and grasslands where the grasses t...

The humid air of the jungle was something far different than the dry air of the mountains, and Seafoam was already sweating. And cranky about it. Thankfully they weren't alone in this, with both Whiteout and Ambergris both looking uncomfortable in the heat despite not having Seafoam's layers of blubber. They felt a perverse sense of glee at not being alone in their misery, but the sooner they were done with this the sooner they could go home and soak in a snowbank. "The map?" Wh...

Even in the tumultuous waters off the coast of Rekes, shipwrecks were rare. Most of the time they knew to steer clear of the sharp fingers of rock that erupted from the water, and more that hid beneath the surface, but this one had foundered and been blown on the rocks. The ship hadn't been able to withstand the storm winds and the sharp stone, and so had shattered and fallen into the depths. Thankfully, the drift had given the crew enough time to disembark, and so nobody had been hurt. ...

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...

((The ocean was a place to be respected more than anything else. This was especially true off of the Rekes coast, as the continental shelf rose sharply from the depths to the shore, making the surf violent and unpredictable. Jagged outcrops of stone scattered the surf as well, some poking above the water, others only visible in the troughs of the waves.)) Sky soared out above it, watching the never-ending fight between the waves and the shore before diving into the calmer waters past ...
