What is your favourite piloting crash?

Ah, I was doing some orbital shenanigans over Hollow's Vacuum, and I was going very fast. Like, going faster than one of those volcanic rocks fast. Eventually, I fell into the black hole somehow. And then I crashed into the white hole station and died. One of my funnier crashes if I do say so myself

Hoo boy, I definitely don't want to go there again

Day 12 - The Vessel

I only got to post it after midnight of my timezone unfortunately… it’s def one of my most rushed ones, and I didn’t like it as much

But I must keep going

Kimberlite sat up on the sleeping bag. They grab their cello and amble to the launchpad, putting in their launch codes before they noticed another version of themself standing behind them.

“AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAhhhhHHHHHHH—“

They stumble off the elevator, tripping and falling back into the elevator shaft. Poor Kimber doesn’t realize until they are about to be… um- yknow…

Their resulting scream is muted quickly by a horrible CRUNCH and the echoes of snapping strings.

Umm, are you okay? Hold on, hold on hold on, I'm doing this wrong. Grunt twice if you can hear me.

I'm curious, what exactly is Porphy's "Good stuff"? It sounds.. concerning, to say the least.

Oh god, you don't know the horrors yet. It's literally just fermented pine sap in a cup. Like, I don't even know if it's done fermenting yet by the time I drink it. Nothing is added, like, at all. Or at the very least the things that are added affect the final product so little that I can't taste them. And the texture, I don't even want to talk about the texture. The only way I can describe it is *barfing noises*. I can't even think of words to describe how bad it is.

Oh hey, thanks for the idea bud!

Guess What Achievement I Finally Got

i wrote this in 40ish minutes and very lightly edited it and I think it shows but

[ask-marble]

Yeah, sometimes it's like that, y'know?

Well @ask-feldspar, since you're asking I can safely assume you've never been, correct? Telling you now would mean that you cheated to get there, so I can't. On a completely unrelated note, what's the deal with that big cyclone on giant's deep?

You know how Feldspar kinda teased you with the answer about how to get to the bottom of Giant's Deep? Well, Feldspar's asking after what's on the Quantum moon and you have the opportunity to do the funniest thing.

If you've ever wanted to tease your elders, now's your chance ahaha.

Ah, finally, a chance for revenge >:)

Hey @ask-gabrro, don't tell Feldspar the quantum rules. I'm gonna prank them >:)

Who is Asphalt? Why are they telling stories about aliens? Do you have a favorite story of theirs?

Well Asphalt is the local storyteller in our village. They love telling the hatchlings about new discoveries we've made. Like that one story about a random Hearthian finding a lost nomai civilization in Hollow's Vacuum. That was my favorite :)

I mean, those stories may not be accurate, but that's why they even tell anyone.

[ask-marble]

They're a species from outside the solar system! They can be very nice.

As for why they're pretending to be from inside your mind, that's probably just some mischief.

Hey @ask-feldspar anything wrong?

[ask-marble]

Oh, those are my friends the Humans!

Hey @ask-feldspar anything wrong?

[ask-marble]

Hey @ask-feldspar anything wrong?

Hmm, I'm hearing a suspicious lack of harmonica from Timber Hearth. I might just check it out

[ask-marble]

How do you feel knowing that there are other alien species beyond your solar system, or possibly your entire galaxy? Think you'll ever visit us?

Welp, I hope you do well during heat death.

No, unless I stop the loop and everyone learns how to build a rocket, then no we can't visit you.

Also no, aliens out of our solar system aren't a new thing for me. Not just because of Asphalt's stories, but also because of that modern message in the Vessel.

Hey Marble, do you guys have like, books? Or do you guys do scrolls like the Nomai? Are all your books nonfiction or do you guys have fiction too? Who writes your novels?

Well good ol' Calcite was a very good writer until he went partially blind in one eye. Luckily, they got an apprentice recently.

Yeah, we have both nonfiction and fiction books. Most of the fiction is just writings of our folklore, but I digress.
