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.

Comments

[wallride]

...Didn't realise that was a snack.

[weirdo]

Well, I'm glad you're not, uh. Pretzeled right now.

cw body horror mention lol

[inconsequence]

It's not.

[It's a churning, sickening, horrific way to die. You bleed out of every orifice. It is excruciating and protracted, and it lasts for days on end. The petals blister your throat and shred your digestive tract, staining the nice clean sheets with your sickening sweat and blood and discharge.

A fitting end for something like them, is it not?


And yet not permanent enough.]

I'm not. It was infinitely preferable.

chara pls

[wallride]

Uh huh. Well, it would definitely be harder to get out if you were pretzeled.

[as hard as lúcio tries not to let them get to him... he can't stop them creeping him out.]

[inconsequence]

Unfortunately for everyone, yes.

[How frustrating for everyone, am I right folks, that they must all continue to tolerate this unwanted presence in their lives!]

[wallride]

For no-one, Chara. Swear one day I'm gonna get a damn spray bottle on you!

[one spirtz every time they put themselves down >:V]

[inconsequence]

You would do best filling it with holy water.

[Get it? Because they're a demon. Har har.]

You really don't know anything about me. It could be I'm better off dead and buried.

[Spoilers: they are, indeed, better off dead and buried, pushing up daisies, sleeping in the soil. That's the best ending for everybody. The ending where they stop plaguing everyone with their unwanted presence, and dissipate into nothingness forever.]

[wallride]

Really? I like you. I would prefer you not to be dead and buried.

[lúcio simply refuses to believe it.]

[inconsequence]

[They laugh. It comes easily, wry and skeptical.]

You'll change your mind. One can only exist in denial for so long.

[wallride]

I'll let you know when I start to find you unlikable so you can document the whole thing.

[inconsequence]

[He already has, no doubt. Either he's mired in denial or he's bent on proving them wrong, for reasons utterly beyond them.]

Of course. Who could resist such winning qualities as, "has murdered an entire species," and "is so bad at pretending to be human that it's obvious to everyone that they aren't one"?

[wallride]

And yet... you disregard your own life so easily. I think there's more to you than that.

[inconsequence]

I may be objectively terrible, but at least I can claim some measure of self-awareness.

[All brightly pronounced, as cheerful as their plastic smile.]

[wallride]

Subjectively. I don't think you're terrible.

[lúcio just smiles back.]

I think that's a great thing to be. Self aware.

[inconsequence]

That's because you have no standards.

[Like Frisk, it appears he relishes in being as sickeningly and unreasonably positive as possible. Even about those that should be dismissed as impossible to SAVE.

It has less to do with them, and more to do with what they can assume is a fundamentally misguided notion that he can twist them into something worth SAVING.

Such efforts are inevitably bound to result in tears. And worse.]

[wallride]

Now, I know I have standards. I grew up in a favela, you know. I know proper stuff when I see it.

[he'll remain so, because that's what he does. lúcio uplifts people's spirits when they feel like all is lost; he believes so genuinely and thoroughly in the ability of those around him...]

[inconsequence]

[They should ask what in the blue heck a favela is, but that would imply they're anything but the omniscient, scarily all-knowing, perpetually controlling demonic force of nature that they so plainly, obviously are. Asking questions would imply they don't know everything, all the time. Which they do.

So there.]

Then I should question why it is you insist on associating with a known murderer.

[wallride]

'Cause you're already associating with a wanted man.

[he raises his eyebrows and grins.]

[inconsequence]

Wanted for what, precisely? Stuffed animal theft?

[Oh, yes. They're quaking in their sneakers.]

[wallride]

Naw, [he says, still walking and talking.] some asshole company moved into Rio, tried to ruin where we all lived so I stole their tech and used it to rouse an uprising.

It wasn't easy, but we drove them out. They won't be coming back.

[inconsequence]

[He'll have to try harder to shake their deadpan demeanor. They are, after all, dead enough to suit it.]

Pioneering a robot revolution. Truly you are a villain to be reckoned with.

[wallride]

There were a load of omnics that helped but... it wasn't entirely them. It was a good mix of people.

Point is, we've all got a lot more to us. I do. You do. We're multifaceted creatures.

[inconsequence]

Perhaps humans are.

[They've been reliably informed that they are nothing of the sort. Because it would really help him out, you see, if they would keep pretending to be one.]

[wallride]

All sentient beings are, Chara. All of them. Even you.

[inconsequence]

[Ew, sentiment. Get it away from them.]

I barely count as a sentient person on a good day, sir. A copy of a memory of a long-dead child is hardly worth bothering to pretend as such.

[wallride]

You're some HD quality copy then. At least 2000p! C'mon, lil' dude. It breaks my heart to see you put yourself down like this, you're clearly intelligent and mature. Why do you hate yourself so much?
