[S3 E0] [Cherry Blossom Square](#253RLJA) This is a large area, partially built up with room for further expansion. Coming in from the north is a wide flagstone path, serving as a road as it goes in a circle around the center of the square, branching off in the other major compass directions, while the outer line of the square is marked out with old-style stone walls, forming a cozy enclosed region. In each corner of the square, a section has been marked out for buildings. To the northeast, behind an additional outer wall against the flagstones, you can see what appears to be something between an eastern temple and a residence. To the southeast, a much more modern building of metal, wood and stone, its front windows displaying various dresses, suits, pants, shirts, and other works of fashion, with a large sign over the door: "SEW WHAT: Custom Coutoure". The north western corner seems to be being used to store materials for some new construction relatively soon, with foundations marked out in tape. The south wester corner is as yet unoccupied. In the very center of the square, inside the circle formed by the flagstone road, stands a simply massive Sakura tree. Stretching several stories high its perpetually pink canopy provides a light shade to the entire square, while around it on little hills on the edge of the island are benches and lanterns for relaxing on. Perhaps most interesting is within; the treet has grown so large that its roots have spread out into a sizable hollow beneath the tree. The whole square is lit with lanterns styled after traditional eastern stone lanterns, but at night, the tree itself seems to glow softly. Blinding light seems to come from all directions; pure, white snow covers everything. It's somewhere around 10 am by how the light moves.

Cherry Blossom Gate Nestled beneath the giant Sakura tree, you find a strange hollow. Within, fireflies flit about, and lotus-like plants grow vigorously both along the root-like walls and upon the surface of the ankle-high water that fills the hollow's floor. Most striking, however, is the strange circle of root and stone that has seemingly sprung up here, held aloft by the structure of the tree itself like some sort of unnatural doorway. It is tall, wide, and probably just large enough to drive a golf cart through, were you that way inclined. For now, however, it lies silent, standing there ominously lit by firefly light and the glow of the strange flowers around it. Obvious Exits: [O]ut You head elsewhere... Cherry Blossom Stage(#10731RJA) This is a grand stage, suitable for many different sorts of show. Please wait for a scenepost spoof to detail where you are! Blinding light seems to come from all directions; pure, white snow covers everything. It's somewhere around 10 am by how the light moves. Obvious Exits: [O]ut Contents: Mako, and Mooncat ## There are possible hidden listeners here. Sirianna has arrived. Setting clothing 'mage' Mako blepo Sirianna fweeeb. Mako is doing some last minute status checks with a clipboard, her little pookabots running around taking care of things Sirianna will walk in, attended by spherebots and a halo of attentino. Sirianna errs, attention. Amy has sent several large duffels of cargo ahead of herself... Now she arrives aboard the ship proper, dressed neatly, gaze hidden behind gendo glasses. "Ladies. So we're headed to Thyke 56." Two different floaty orbs accompany her, a black one, and one which looks a bit like a combination of 400-day-clock and bubble lamp. "Thyke 56 is a rogue planet in an interstellar void, kept geothermally warm. It's helped trade cross the gap. So, it's a difficult target with a multitude of beacons. A nice test." Amy nudges the collection of glassware, which ejects a little black crystal and sends it hovering over to Mako. "Map and coordinates, if you require." Mako says, "Does help!" Mako nabs the crystal, and hands it off to a Pooka, who runs it up to the bridge.... Sirianna ... believes this is an absolutely wonderful getup. Sirianna will get a copy of that coordinate set, and then admits, "if you want me to bring the Paradise, we can be spaceborn presently ... I just need to get aboard." Mako says, "I was going to ask, we all going to take the Mooncat, or are others taking thier own rides? I got space for everyone. :P" Sirianna prrs, "I'm good either way - you tell me what you need from me, yea?" You say, "I am content aboard the Mooncat... I helpe design the power systems, and your food is good." Mako Squints at Amy. "Lemme guess, you;re the other half." Amy lifts a brow, "Close enough. I can find the other if you're expecting any monsters along the weay..." Mako says, "Doubtful. The Mooncat has... tricks I'm keeping to myself. ;p"" Sirianna purrrs quietly, "This must be why Niji asked me to help her get ahold of a couple of pieces of spatial looms." Amy smirks. "Yourself and the monsters. Well. Shall we?" Sirianna in-deeds. Mako will 'board' regardless. :P Mako has left. Mooncat Deck This is the topdeck of the flying ship, the Mooncat, a now rather heavily modified ex-merchant vessel. The deck is a soft brownish red wood with a waxy laquor-like coating. It's not slippery even when wet, however. The topdeck itself has a single main mast in the center, and a smaller triangular sail stand up near the bow. On the front of the deck is a smallish cabin-like structure, while a larger temple like structure occupies a large portion of the rear, behind the main mast, presumably where the bridge is. From here you can also see a kind of squarish guardhouse style vestibule, which contains entryway into the large captain's quarters area at the rear of the ship. In that same vestibule is a stairway leading into the crew deck. Inlaid into the wood along the edges and under your feet are polished brass metal plates, themselves set with a light quartz that glows a soft blue, providing a series of tron-line like flow lines all along the wood that both serves as deck lighting, guidance, and a steady flow of magical power. Obvious Exits: [B]ridge, [C]aptains Quarters, [D]own to Lower Deck, and [O]ut Contents: Mako, and Tam-IKO Sirianna has arrived. [OOC] Mako figures we can work from here regardless of ships taken. :P Mako offers to carry you. "HOPON Mako" to accept. Mako offers to carry Sirianna with her. [OOC] Amy says, "I think we're taking the mooncat." You scramble up on Mako. Sirianna scrambles up on Mako. [OOC] Sirianna says, "Yes." [OOC] Mako noddle Mako leaves for the Temple Bridge. Mako has left. Mako carries you along with her. Mooncat Bridge This is the bridge and Command Center of the ship, such as it is. This is, however, probably far from what is standard for a normal spaceship. At first, it looks a bit like the interior of an old-style japanese tatami room mixed with a temple, complete with a small altar, presently empty, and decorative scrolls on the walls. The flooring is a soft woven mat, centered around a central... it would be a firepit, but there's a big green gem instead of a fire. In the back corners of the room are a pair of small stairwells that lead up to an upper level. This upper level is designed as a two-tier platform in a horseshoe shape. The "Shoe" part forms a slightly lower portion, about two feet lower than the central dias, which is on the inside of the U, raised up and inside its own semicircular console. Smaller consoles appear to be arrayed at set intervals along the lower ring as well. The consoles are made of reddish-brown laquered wood and golden brass, and greenish-blue gemstone jade. The center console itself has a large orb in its center segment, with displays on each of the side segments. Lower ring consoles are similar, but it looks as if this ship can be run from one central point, or crewed by multiple people using the outer rings. Against the flat back wall is more smooth wall and what looks like a powered junction box. Lighting is provided by more of those quartz-in-brass ground and wall lightnings. Around the outer walls of the Ring are open windows viewing out into space, or large projection screens for when this is impractical. Obvious Exits: [D]rive, [Im]mersive Mode, and [O]ut Contents: Mako Sirianna has arrived. Mako carries Amy and Sirianna with her. [OOC] Amy says, "oof, brb" Mako steps up the bridge. The data crystal is slotted into a section of hte upper-u, while the lower-u is being manned by three different pooka. The fourth is somewhere belowdecks with the ship majordomo. She grins. "Well now, y'all haven't had a chance to see this thing really get going, so this ought to be interesting, too. You say, "Mm. The view won't be much, until we get close - it is in a void after all. If your instruments aren't bang-on, we'll miss it. But it has plenty of beacons for another try, and another." Sirianna will settle into a chair, "I want to see it fly - it's good to know other people have, well ... toys to bring to the party." Amy nudges her black globe and makes a quiet demand, "Query, spatial loom." Polo> Sar'a falls asleep. Mako grins. She takes a lotus position in the central seat, and places her hand on the central console. Her handprint glows, and her hair begins to halo around here as the tron "Running" lights on the ship begin to start up, and you can both hear and feel a low hum under your feet. .Amy> Room: Secret Base Great Room .Amy> -Stat-Name----------------Gender------Species--------------------------------- .Amy> >Nijiiro[4m idle] Female Tienzu Niji |Sirianna she/her .Amy> IC >.Amy -unknown- -unknown- |Amy .Amy/.Amy .Amy> ---[ Found 2 characters.

Scribbles some notes. ( There sphere has a brief summary: a device that uses a mixture of psi-projection technology and threads of dark matter to create exotic molecules that are key for specific psiforge processes. ) Sirianna, meanwhile, is sipping coffee and waiting for the jump.

( The Mooncat indeed doesn't use a catapult, it 'sails' free of the moorings in the PI spaceport it was in, and out, then up, the ring behing it turning. Once it's clear of the station and spin itself, THEN the lightshow begins... The ring /splits apart/ into three parts, exactly equidistant between the gemstones, which themselves develop long fins behind them, and rotates /faster/, the hum increases in intensity.

No pun intended. ) Amy nods, "I saw the tour, I'm sure we won't be bored. Those readings will give me lots of study anyway..." Mako rolls her shoulders. "That.... was easier than I thought. Huh."

Mako says, "We can take a look, certainly. I think you've seen it before, but we got time. :P" You say, "I've seen it *OFF*. :p" [OOC] Amy says, "though we don't have to RP it.

( 3 Awake ) ]---------------------------------------- ( Hour by hour, the Nyan^G^G^G^GMooncat streaks past the stars, out of the friendly, crowded places, into the cold void, a place between clusters and beyond empires, almost totally empty and alone. Almost. The closer you get, the louder you can detect the beacons. https://freesound.org/people/markkuyp/sounds/345534/ ) ( As a rogue planet, Thyke is very dark -- no sun. This means squinting at numbers and beacons and radars all the way in, course correction, other boredom... The scanners aren't perfect, but this is why we're doing a trial run. An arcsecond here, a phase adjustment there. ) ( As you zero in on Thyke, smaller ident signals begin to tantalize. There's a cluster of clutter like a little solar system. A great big moon labeled with warninng symbols. Two dozen shuttles with six-letter signifiers, some of them obvious vanity plates. A cruise liner big and close enough to see in telescope, a gleaming self-lit cruciform titled [Germanium Lines]. A small station or large cargo vessel with so many idents they're crowding each other, offering services from fuel to bakery. And the planet itself has two idents, [Spire City] and [Pilot Butt]. ) Mako will pull us out of warp when we are appropriately close - she doesn't like the idea of having to do a hairpin turn at me-knows-how-fast. She pokes at the map, which projects like a holoram in the air in front of hte pilot seat. "... Pilot Butt? Really?" Sirianna laughs quietly at the entire exchange. THis is fascinating, and she watches the approach with a sort of amusement and fascination tinged with wonder. Polo> Sar'a wakes up. You say, "I always assumed a chracter set error... That's the industrial area. Go there if you want fissionables or bulk helium. Spire City is the main port, and ooh. A bunch of stuff in orbit today." She is interrupted by an incoming transmission. "Thyke 56 Control. Thyke 56 Control. Mooncat, we spot you on heading 1 8 niner mark 3."" Mako ah, the flickflicks a little switch. "Mooncat here, requesting direction for Spire City Docking." Sirianna will check a commlink and watches the exchange, sipping more coffee. ( Courses are planned and numbers exchanged. Rounding the planet, you see a few glimmers of light -- red spots of what's probably lava, a bit of shifting, indefinable purple, and a bright cross-shaped streak with the waypoint to the left side of it. Amy explains, "The huge cross shaped valley I told you about. 10% of the planet's entire atmosphere is in there. The obvious place to live..." The lights expand into a familiar crisscross of city, interrupted by occasional pools of water and pools of darkness, crawling dots of cars and air vehicles. You are guided to a circle of VTOL landing pads around a big prefab dome. A badger wielding neon sticks dances the Mooncat energetically in the right direction like a bee to a flower. ) Name Laston Last Connected Last Disconnected --------------------------------------------------------------------------- Voksa --- ONLINE --- 04:49PM 02/12/24 You page, "https://www.youtube.com/shorts/hGqKl9Adqrc" to Voksa.

Sirianna finds this is all very fascinating,and hrms, "I wonder how they create and maintain it - do you think there's a trick we should study while we're down there?" This, of course, she enjoys regardless, and as we land, she tries to peek at the scenery despite the oppressive gloom. c.c Mako takes the ship down very, very carefully. Nearly... neeearly.... CRNCH. Then up a little, so it hovers in place. ".... Well, so much for that paintjob. No damage, though...." Sirianna wells, there we go. Polo> Fisset has disconnected. ( The spaceport is as well lit as you'd expect on a lightless world, stadium lighting from distant posts. Can't due business in the dark, be the sky pitch black or not. And the ground off the concrete pad is not dead. It's definitely not 'grass' or anything photosynthtic, but is spongy to walk on, and chunkily textured, and gradually different by the moment, like a claymation landscape. Amy nods again. "You've done it! Well. We should visit the dome, and get a taxi in. Unless the mooncat has a runabout?" ) Amy asks Siri, "How what works?" Mako says, "I have ROOM for a runabout but I don't have one yet. The Bahamut(My bike) IS in the hold but it's one person, so taxi it is."" Sirianna wells, "how the atmosphere containment works." You say, "Oh.. gravity. The valley is miles deep. Very anisotrpic planet" Sirianna aaahs, "... fascinating." Mako says, "Very.... whatnow?" ( Leaving the Mooncat to walk off the concrete pad onto the spongy earth, the first few dozen sophonts you see are all badgers in grey-orange service overalls. For all the glittering towers in the distance, this is a very rural seeming spaceport, the dome doesn't even have freaking walls, inside or outside, just up on stilts, with people free to wander as they please. People being mostly badgers, with a sprinkling of many kinds of kobolds and lizardfolk. "You'll need a customs card to spend money here." A card with a hologram of your face on it is taken and supplied. ) [OOC] Amy says, "sorry, was typing" Polo> Sar'a falls asleep. You say, "For attractions, there are hot springs, the Breathing Forest, casinos, vent-fishing, shopping, trading, and a shocking number of restaraunts. And whatever happens to be in orbit, which is a fair bit right now." Sirianna prrs, "Yes yes, maybe, yes, yes, yes, ... and yes, and then possibly also yes!" Mako ho-lord that's a lot of options. o.o You say, "I have been fairly leading by the nose until now but should like some consensus." [OOC] Mako is getting combarded with questions in another window, please stand by. >.< [OOC] Sirianna says, "Murder them with fish." Sirianna wells, "I think we should start with something like the breathing forest - I'd like to start with something visually coool, and then we can do a social or economic thing, and branch from there, maybe?"
