Where: Thisavrou + New Worlds
Warnings:

thisavrou monthly info ( the tmi )

⋆ All information is current as of day 62 ( there are 100 days in a cycle, which started on January 1st).

⋆ The storm around Thisavrou is rather quiet this month. Although there is still an upsurge in the number of Outpost techs called in, many of them have been put on standby until otherwise needed. Weather on Kauto is a moderate 70°F / 21°C during the day and 65°F / 18 °C at night, and Chioni’s has reached dangerous highs of 200°F / 93°C at peak hours.

⋆ Savrii Notices:

Region One grocery depots are offering sixty percent off of any item purchased between day 70 and 82.
Region Three’s residents are doing a pruning ( every sixty days or so ) and all excess is available to be taken; if you need it for mulch, lumber, etc. it’s free to anyone.

⋆ Mission notices have been posted to TABs for anyone interested in earning a little extra cash. Available missions are listed below:

Day 65 (March 6th) - The locals of Region One (R1) are looking for extra help with cleaning and are hiring pairs to run each machine. They’ll pay 50 sencs an hour or 300 sencs for a full day.
Day 68 ( March 10th) - A group of newcomers have taken shelter in Region Five as their home world is no longer habitable. All of their belongings have been brought through the Ingress and is stacked up outside the EN-Line in R1. Savrii are paying volunteers 70 sencs an hour to help transport everything to their new homes. This species returns kindness with kindness, and will offer any volunteer who goes the extra mile tips ranging from 100 to 200 sencs.
Day 75 (March 16th) - With temperatures on Chioni reaching record highs, some scientists and researchers have been stranded due to EN-Line shutdowns. Those in the Ingress Complex are offering 950 sencs to anyone who is willing to withstand the heat and rescue their fellow colleagues. Any equipment needed for the trip will be provided, but due to the greater increase of temperature, some suits may only cool a body inside for a total of four hours before needing replaced. Plan the trip wisely: most EN-Line access has been completely revoked and travel by foot (or vehicle) is necessary.
Day 87 (March 28th) - Scientific Study. Do you smoke? Are you addicted to any substance? A scientist researching methods to combat addictions, of all kinds, is looking for volunteers. He’ll ask a series of questions, take samples, record, study, analyze, and apply new procedures over the course of a day (nothing invasive without permission). Compensation is 800 sencs with complete cooperation.

ingress travel info

⋆ Signatures are the base reason for traveling through the Ingress (aside from general exploration and monetary gain) and are used to discover the correct world visitors on Thisavrou wish to return to. Every visit through a different Ingress brings the technicians a little closer to finding it. The two worlds open for access this month only have a slight impact on the signature of each person who travels.

⋆ Missions are jobs or specific tasks listed on the TAB once new worlds are open for exploration. Be sure to check if Clearance Levels are required to accept some of these missions.

⋆Clearance Levels are given to visitors for the length of time they have been on Thisavrou (or traveling on the Moira). Each CL offers access to certain things or incentives that others will not have.

deslora

⋆Upon entering the world of Deslora, everything seems to be connected by an intricate tunnel of tubes that lead to different and very explorable areas of this new place. Ingress travel will have been quick but somewhat nauseating for most, and returning to Thisavrou will result in the same feeling. However, it wears off quickly, and Deslora is opened as EC (exploration class). Aside from the bright colors of the “walls” and the excessive lights, there are also smells of familiarity—to some. Popcorn, pizza, cotton candy. They waft through the tunnels and get stronger the closer anyone comes to the first open area of Deslora, and depending on the route that is taken, some may have to crawl or walk right into it.

⋆Food, perhaps, might be one draw to Deslora, but it is not, so to speak, the main attraction. After piling through the tunnels, it’s like being inside a massive tent. There is no natural lighting, everything illuminated by bulbs or torches placed strategically across the path that leads to an equally smaller tent. Dangling above the doorway is a sign that reads Laugh Your Way to A Smile with reflectors and pieces of glass hanging from its bottom. Entering the tent will reveal a very small but intricately designed room full of twists and turns and mirrors. The strange thing about them comes with looking at your own reflection; passing by will do nothing. If you linger too long, you find your own physical body beginning to take the shape of what is reflected in the mirror. Sometimes, you are stretched thin and tall. Sometimes, you are short and round. And other times, you will find yourself suddenly wavy and curved from head to toe. These changes do not hurt the first few times they happen, but after the third look at your reflection, some alterations may cause pain in your limbs or torso. It increases each time you look at a mirror, and while the effects will fade after a few minutes, it’s best not to linger too long and find your way out through the otherside.

⋆Located several tunnels down - or up, depending on the direction you go - from the Deslora’s ever-popular funhouse is another equally famous attraction. At the top of the steps, a worker waits to pair up individuals into groups of two before ushering them inside the first set of doors. The foyer is quiet, and after the doors behind you have been shut, two single doors ahead of you and your partner begin to illuminate. There is a sign between the doors: Pick A Path . Once through the chosen door, it will lock and the door will slowly fade away. It will quickly become evident that what is in this room is specifically targeted at one out of the two people inside. A happy memory, a beloved hobby, the person you love most - the scenario is always different, but the overall feel is the same. Whatever the room has transformed into, it’s what makes that person the happiest. If it’s a person, they can be spoken to and touched, if it’s an object, it can be used. As the interactions between both characters and the room increase, subtle changes will begin to occur. Slowly, the contents of the room begin to morph into something new. The combination of what one person loves the most and what the other hates the most. The only resolution to be had is to confront the issues and find something in the room to help. For one past patron, the room transformed into thousands of paintings that morphed into painted memories of their partner’s most painful memories. The only way out was a can of varnish tucked back into the corner of the room. Be creative, be careful. Find the way out together.

thisavrou (R6)

Every so often, new Regions are built to accommodate visitors who are looking to make Thisavrou their homes, a place to work, and many other acceptable reasons. The Savrii pride themselves on being open to explorers and travelers, allowing Thisavrou to be a mecca of trade, exploration, and for some - a place to live. During many meetings with Savrii intermediates over the course of 600 days, an agreement was made with an entrepreneur looking to find a safe place to build their business. The funder, John Hammond, spent millions of sencs on the proper permits and is funding the building, transportation, expansion and overall creation of Region Six. Over the next 30 days, Mr. Hammond will be following very specific building schematics and with this, will be hiring temporary workers to fill the positions required to do so. Job postings will go up and those that do well, might be offered permanent employment when Region Six is up and running. Hammond, along with his temporary work posts via the TABs, will release a missive explaining the following: a few days before the Region is open he will be hiring a large number of permanent employees in (research, science, ingress, cleaning, security, transportation, customer service) fields. He’ll also thank all Savrii, and anyone living on Thisavrou, for allowing him to bring him and his to live here.

Maybe.

[Zer0 glances down at his hands for a moment while he thinks that question over. HMMMM.]

...How would you translate / "Watch out for the laser wall" / Into five fingers?

[He's probably joking]

The world tides in and out in sporadic, fluxing intervals. Being lifted, being placed. Something else landing beside them, a pale sliver of sweat-streaked skin, too-flushed cheeks, the blisters beginning to boil out across skin in a reddening, ever-widening inflorescence. Every laugh simply generates a cold hitch in their lungs, in their throat, a wet clot of blood spat wetly across their disgusting shirt front, the bitter sting of petals clinging to their swollen tongue, the bleeding roof of their mouth.

How utterly disgusting! Just like them!

At some point, the pair of them ended up - here. Wherever here is. There's a shadow that shifts in and out of their vision, tunneling to a point and then out again, a glowing arc of red. Red as poppies. Red as determination. Red as the spilling wetness dribbling down their chin in sickening blood trails. The pair of them, and their double is still deathly still (ha ha) as it lies there limply. For a moment, they have to question - how can they be so sure that that one is the false twin, the copy, the echo? They're just as much a pointless recolor, aren't they? Conceptually last, a hidden sprite filed away among many, spr_truechara_0.png, only barely, briefly visible if you take the wrong options, the wrong paths! Shouldn't this be a two-in-one deal? One of them will fade, and the other will remain, and it won't matter which, because neither one of them are anything more than a hopeless construct, a manifestation of - of numbers, of lines of code that don't matter, in the long run, not here.

Moving is too much of a struggle, in this state. Don't struggle. Lie still, and maybe it won't hurt as much. Lie still, and maybe the pins and needles in your belly will stop trying to claw their way out.

Lie still, and get what's coming for you.

The silhouette looming above, the gleam of scarlet, and a stillness. An air of expectation that, for the moment, seems utterly superfluous. What is he waiting for, exactly? Dramatic tension? Another croaking rasp of laughter in the back of their throat, one crimson eye slitted open to peer darkly at whatever passes for a sky here, the purplish light that ignites everything's edge with a brilliant vespertine cast - or maybe that's just the delirium talking! Never can know with Chara!

"What - " they hiss, and have to break off in a hoarse snarl of a cough before they can continue, "whatever it is you were planning to do?"

Their smile locks into a cold rictus, skull-like.

"Do it."

Mmph-- [That would be the sound of Kurt almost choking on pancakes. He turns away and forces the food down, coughing into his elbow then glancing over his shoulder once he's able to speak again.] ... thank you, Hunk. That's kind of you to say.

[But he won't be discussing his decision to not sleep without a shirt.] I have only seen pictures of both places, though I would love to visit them one day.

Ja, it is. She isn't the only one I know, but the others are from ... different timelines. A space mall? Was it anything like the malls here?

[Hunk chuckles once he's sure Kurt's not in any real danger. He's starting to get used to this kind of reaction. Hopefully Kurt's getting used to accepting compliments.]

Not gonna lie, they're basically the prettiest places on earth. Sandy beaches, a sunset that goes on forever, killer food. Man, I gotta make my favorite for you some day.

[His eyebrows shoot up] You too, huh? When I got here I was from like, everyone's future. It kinda freaked me out, honestly. I really don't need that kind of power.

[Hunk took another bite of pancake, chewing thoughtfully before swallowing.] You know, it kinda was. Just.. more aliens. Ooh, I got to be a chef for a day! That was fun.

[Slowly but surely and he'd prefer them when he's not trying to eat. Also, his face is definitely not purple already.]

It sounds like some sort of dream vacation ... Oh, you do! What is your favorite food, by the way? Or ... did you already tell me? Ach, how rude of me to forget if you have.

[There's a brief moment where Kurt cringes, features twisting with unease. He'd felt that way when re-introducing himself to Charles and Peter and it genuinely bothered him that he knew what would happen to them in the future.] The feeling is uncomfortable, but I try to ignore it.

Did you really? You must tell me all about it! What sort of things did you make?

[ Oh, definitely not, huh? For sure not a touch of purple anywhere, you say? ]

You should totally visit sometime. Heh, hey, maybe I exist in your world too. Look me up! And nah, don't think I told you. [ Another little nudge. ] Stop worrying about it. It's spam musubi! My stomach's gonna growl just thinking about it. It's kinda like a big piece of nigiri sushi with seasoned spam on top. Mmm.

Dude, I don't even know. [ He laughs ] I couldn't even read the language on the orders that were coming in. I just kinda had to wing it. It was awesome, though. So much food that I'd never seen before!

They're a kind of vegetable! Grow in the ground, like potatoes. Alien place I'm from had some pretty cool ones.

Uh. I think that plan has some flaws in it. Like, what if you rust or break stuff?

[ Dude, seriously? ]

Uh, it means going off and training for hours or doing missions forever and being too busy or too distracted to eat meals with enough calories, fat and protein to balance out your energy output.

Oh. So it's like... plants or something?

[Yes, Sideswipe, like plants or something.]

Uh.

Hope for the best?

Yeah, food plants! Super tasty food plants.

.. yeah, that's. Probably a bad plan. I'm an engineer, you know. If you ever want me to take a peek at something I'd be happy to.

Man, sometimes I'm a little jealous of you guys and your food plant stuff.

[SHRUG.]

Oh wait, yeah? Seriously? You can work on 'bots?

Alright! We can totally make this happen. [ Firm nod as he moves towards the pile of wood, counting it out. ] Hey, have you ever tried milking the space cow? Do space cows even make milk?

What? Why not? That's a crime! You've never been to a festival before?

Seriously. I wish you guys could eat food. Robots are super cool and all, but I'd be really sad if spam musubi wasn't a part of my life.

Once I built a tracking device based on a weird alien signal I knew nothing about based only on data I snuck out of my friend's diary. I also drive a big robot cat. I've never worked on you guys specifically but I bet I could figure out it.

If... what now? I know you're saying words and all, but it's like. Not making sense.

...

You drive a cat? Seriously?

Absolutely a worthy cause, not saying it isn't! But how long is this gonna be our fight for? Forever? Are we never going home?

And what's wrong with making this place a home if we're never going back to our real one anyway?

Basically I'm kinda really good at engineering stuff.

Yeah! Me and my buddies all drive robot cats. Or, well, lions. But lady lions, so no huge robot manes. They all merge together to form this really cool giant robot called Voltron.

... Dude, I'll be honest here. All I understood there was "I'm cool and drive A Combiner!"

[ I mean, he really doesn't know what a combiner is but it DOES technically combine, so... ]

Aw, I think you're really cool too, man.

No one said it would go on forever. And at the very least, I need to go back to find my family and bring them home. We can't stay here and pretend everything's fine, Hunk. We don't belong here- None of us belong here, and our universe kind of needs Voltron right now.

I'm not saying you should stop looking for your family, Pidge! It's just...

[ He lets out a frustrated sigh. ]

What are you gonna do after you find your family? You gonna stay in space with us and fight? Until when? When is it over, exactly? When do we get to have a home again? And man, me making a home here so isn't the worst thing that could happen. Why is it even a big deal?

Once they're safely back home, yeah, I'll keep fighting! We're protecting everyone from hostile Galra takeover, remember? I don't know when or how it would end, some kind of peace negotiation alien politics thing for the princess to handle probably?

And that's so not what I'm saying, Hunk, I'm saying it's not a good idea to just settle in like everything's totally normal when we all know it's not!

[It's basically a more sentient Voltron, just roll with it Hunk.]

Yeah?

Awesome! Feeling's mutual, my dude.

Totally! And I'll repair your parts any time you need it, dude. Always happy to learn new stuff and help out friends.

[There might be the slightest hint of indigo across his cheeks, but nothing more!!]

Do you really think so? [He visibly perks at the idea of being able to find Hunk in his own world. They knew of 'Earth,' but would it be the same for both of them? Kurt's drawn back to the other half of their conversation when Hunk bumps him, his features creasing in a playful pout then giving way to delight at the explanation.] Hm ... I can't say that I've ever heard of it, but that's no surprise. I'm new to a lot of things.

Sometimes winging it ist gut! I don't always follow a recipe and I think the only thing I can make from memory is spaetzle. Perhaps sarmale, although I'd have to double-check what I remember for that one, considering it's a Romanian dish.
