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.

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

I don't really know if "I bought it in a space mall" counts as an explanation, but that's what he said.

The point is that I don't have to explain it because it wasn't my fault.

Why... would a cow be your fault.

Look! Things happen! Cows get purchased! I'm not the one on trial here!

Have... you bought a cow?

In the past?

"Bought" is not the word I would use.

YOU STOLE A COW?

PROCURED.

I PROCURED A COW.

Why would you steal a cow?

[He just groans.]

Teenager. Test of courage. I had to procure a cow from a local farm without the farmer catching me. It wasn't especially hard, especially when all I had to do was lift the cow. It was bringing it back that was the problem. The cow was not cooperative and before I knew it--...

...Why am I explaining this?? Is this really the line of questioning I should be answering?! How about start with "Hey, Darin! The house isn't on fire or painted pink! How did you manage to not do those things?"

No, go back, I want to hear more about this cow lifting.

[Because this is partially payback for the "date" incident.]

That's way more interesting.

...You're screwing with me.

On the one hand? I'm genuinely happy because that's a good sign.

On the other? The lack of general praise is making me wish I had stolen a cow just so you had to bail me out of space jail.

Hey, it could be worse. I could be yelling.

I'm also glad to see you stuck around.

Oh, like I could just waltz out after you dropped these kids in my lap?

Dick move, by the way.

But yeah, I figured if I was going to do the right thing, I might as well not half-ass it.

I talked to the Princess, and had words with pretty much everyone. Made sure everyone was on the same page. I gave the Princess my thoughts and my expert consultation on where I think things need improvement, and we seemed to be in agreement.

All in all? House is fine, no one's on fire, everyone seems to be on the same page, for once. And now Darin gets to go back to not being a leader, thank the gods for that.

... It got you to stay put, didn't it?

[Look at that smug ass grin. He knows exactly what he did there. And Pidge does too, probably.]

[But, anyway.]

... I need to talk to Allura, too. About... everything. Whenever she'll see me.

[He wouldn't blame her if she didn't for a while, either. He knows how badly he took things. He needs to do better, in the future. But she needs to hear that from him.]

Thanks, though. I knew you'd be fine.

She'll see you.

You've got your buddy here to thank for that too. I kind of put things into perspective for her. About how you were feeling. About why this was such a big deal.

[He shrugs.]

We hit it off. S'all good now.

I hope so. I uh... kind of got a peace offering. Good to know it won't go to waste.

[He bought her a goddamn peace offering with Lucio's help okay.]

[But, seriously.]

I'm impressed. You didn't need to do that. Any of this, really. I'm grateful, though.

[He shrugs again.]

I told you...if I was going to do it, I wasn't about to half-ass it.

Besides...anyone can see how much you care about this group. And even someone as dense as me can see how much they care about you. As far as I'm concerned, you all deserve one another. The least I could do is make things easier for everyone around here.

You make it sound like I performed a miracle. I just talked to them.

You weren't kidding.

[He pauses.]

... Part of the reason I said that to you was to make you see you're important here, too. You know that, right? We want you to stick around.

And I'm not trying to make it sound miraculous. Just being grateful you pitched in like that.

I know...I know.

You all made it...pretty abundantly clear. And I appreciate it. I'm just...

[He sighs and pushes himself off of the door frame as he searches for the words.]

I've never...done the whole 'team' thing. Have I wanted to? Sure. Anything beats being alone. But there's always that part of me that reminds me of what I am. And what that could mean for those around me.

It's not that I don't want to get close. It's...can I afford to? Can anyone afford to get close to me?

... I can't believe you're saying that now.

[Suddenly, it's like all the good humor and amusement is gone. And there's just something hard left behind.]

You tell me you got Allura to talk to you without breaking the house down. And talked to the entire team.

"The house isn't painted pink".

And then you turn around and say "can anyone get close to me"? Are you listening to yourself? We're all still here. We all want you here.

What's it going to take for that to sink in?

Gee, I dunno, Shiro. Maybe it's the literal voice in my head that says "Your control wavers by the day, soon everything you love will be ash" every few days?

Or maybe I'm just terrible with commitment! At least that's what the quiz in the back of that magazine I was perusing the other day said! It also said I'm a generous lover! So I don't know! You tell me!

[There is a strong impulse to retort: And I have one in mine that tells me I'm a broken monster. But he bites down on that.]

And we're going to figure that out. I don't know how, yet, but we're going to do something about that. Somehow. If we can have a planet full of combat and black ooze, another of space whales, we can find one that will help. We're in space. In another world.

Someone has to know something.

But you have to be here for us to do it.

Edited 2017-03-10 03:14 (UTC)

Look, I didn't say I was going anywhere. Just that this is all...tough for me.

I've always flown solo. Not always by choice but by necessity. You haven't seen what I'm capable of yet. All you saw was me...flexing my muscles so to speak.
