Ok, not only is this genuinely the most impressive artwork I’ve seen on tumblr so far, but it’s also impressive In a technical sense too, like for instance look at their eyes. You can actually see a reflection of the device they are taking the picture with, some sort of offscreen computer monitor that is casting the white fore light, including vague diagnostics on it, and of course the the hologram, but said hologram is properly articulated The reflection, instead of just being a flat superimposed image.

It looks like a goddamn photo.

It’s a masterpiece, dare I say Sludgificer’s current magnum opus.

Sort of! The mortise is a device partially devised by my creator.

The etymology is quite fascinating, I think! A mortise is traditionally one half of a very simple carpentry junction, yes. Its shape does not dictate what material is needed to interface, only that the complementary half be the appropriate positive space.

This is a term used among palagrins to...

...describe most communication devices of its nature. In a similar way, I understand that you all use the term "computer" to describe a vast array of different concepts (even applied to ones of your own species, historically)! We, too, have devices which are best translated as being computers, but a mortise is a more specific designation.

The mortise I hold here is of special make, and it is the device through which you and I are able to speak so easily! The exact nature of what makes it unique, though, is best described by Silted Frost himself. I've offered to transcribe as he speaks:

Please accept my benevolence and most sincere apologies for having enjoyed these Delays to sharing with you our first Cross communication. Near Water and Ragged Breath has novelly delivered to you my name, though I reiterate: I am Silted Frost, Nine Ruby Droplets, Former Architect and Wind Villa Vagabond.

This device became functional only unexpectedly, whilst my companion quibbled with it over the snow. I cannot...

He has actually been pacing for some time now. I transcribed exactly as those words were delivered. Though, he seems ready to continue:

I cannot lay out for you the mix of emotions I feel in speaking to an audience which is not Near Water.

Right, yes. My device is uniquely capable of long-distance communication via three-and-twenty basic particles. Energy from void rarefaction is concentrated and directed to selectively adjust Bloch vectors in such a way that creates an entanglement, ideally with a targeted set of particles some space away. It was found that a temporally-dense enough pulse of energy can be used to tweak various properties of these particles via dipolar coupling and resolved-sideband laser cooling. I sit within the yoke of my ancestors for this to be possible, though, as void-technology is the only methodology which has made such precision instruments, such as cooling past zero-point, Possible.

The inevitable barrier I'd encountered was the realization that, due to the nature of entanglement, no three-and-twenty particles could be targeted with any level of selectiveness. To say "targeted" even was simply inaccurate. The mortise would have to be cycled until some set of particles was snagged that showed some promise of some redundancy and patterning. The Cycles drained while it searched were, in hindsight, a substantive resource failure.

I admit, though, that you were not my goal. Your species is both far and flawed, and in many ways incapable of internalizing what I intended to ask of this mortise's counterpart. Learning more about your world has been myself and Near Water and Ragged Breath's sole focus for Three Cycles now, and many paths have opened. Many more have closed, in a way, but this is to be expected. It is a joy to know that this mortise were feasible, were Possible. Odd as it is.

I look forward to more Cross with you, truly! Though it was with some pain I had peeled myself from my study to speak. My partner's eagerness to talk indeed surpasses my own, at least in the meantime. I prefer to know all and what else, as much as I can, before communicating. You will hear more of me in time.

Not much I can add, I think! Thank you for your inquiry, as always. Pleasant Cycles. 💛

Isn't suns lactose intolerant? - they're asking their messanger for a belly ache.

have you spoken to lactose intolerant people? they dgaf. suns knows whats going to happen but they want a yummy treat now

last night was spent primarily enjoying an extended anxiety attack, so here's some iterator sketches from work to tide you over until i can tell you more about Silted Frost, Nine Ruby Droplets.

*beginning to suspect my roommate is a pulley* hey man would you mind picking up this big crate by changing the direction of applied force, thereby reducing the force needed? no reason
