#assumedly from the winds 2 nights ago

[grumpy-zane]

(( Watched all of Ice chapter for the world building. got a little derailed, but kept to it for the most part. Here are my observations below:

Episode 1

Heavily mountainous, and snowy. High elevation, yet no icebergs.

layer of clouds, presumably blocking out the sun?

HEXAGONAL FORMATIONS, meaning Basaltic. AKA: highly volcanic.

Trees have a root structure akin to mangrove trees. Perhaps it was marshland beneath the freeze?

Wolves are dark. The marshland must also be pretty dark, they have not adapted their coat to match the camo of the snow

The inhabitants have blue garb with Red highlights. Foliage or perhaps shell-based dyes? Trade?

Live in a place surrounded by mountains, with a large pond inside. Caldera?? very large caldera?

Dark ice is sort of like mirrors.

Episode 2

Pass from the lake village to the castle, called 'mala-wojira', or Wojira's Wrath. Culturally believed that she is the one that causes avalanches. The place is highly reactive to noise/motion.

The sun is not fully blocked, at least when it is setting. Therefore, the clouds are only overhead but not too far wide.

Clouds not present at night.

people made of ice fully, some just mind controlled. ice controlled. very funny.

Episode 3

'There can be no ice without water' WRONG, Solid Nitrogen GO

I love Nya's temper. hwaaaa. She and Kai both hate being dead weight

Not all inhabitants of the realm are formlings, in fact there's some worry that they are cursed, or at least the formling village vex came from. -The magic ice can spread from those who are under its spell to non-cursed

Episode 4

UV being a fan of Lou is very funny, yet I am sure she is not the only one.

Fugi-dove's first appearance.

Kais eyes are more yellow than Nyas. Coles eyes are grey or black? hard to tell. Jays are blue ofc.

Pixal is OP.

Episode 5

Giant bird is part of the normal fauna of the realm.

Zane making note that he feels as though he has been there for quite some time, though this may allude that he was not the emperor for very long. However, this contradicts the idea that the village lady planted, in that its been cold for a stupid long time. (Decades)

Episode 6

Cole your anxiety dreams… This seems to be something he has normally. :(

THATS A LARGE TOOTHBRUSH. Jay by far must have the best dental hygiene.

Nyas struggle answers an interesting question, in that understanding similar elements is a thing that's inherently hard.

It is known in the village that travelers occasional 'stop by' and get leaves from the travelers tree to leave. This may be why they aren't so inquisitive of their sudden appearance.

It takes the wind out of Cole to do some terraforming.

Episode 7

CRAIG. ohh my god the flowers on the burial mounds probably are where the blue dye comes from.

There's small little crab apple looking things in the realm. They smell bad.

The Ice samurai have hunted the Craig species for sport. The Craig Species is an herbivorous fauna.

Travelers Tree. it creates its own heat, as well as being in a place far above the cloud line. needs Regular sunlight. Flowers are buttercup shaped, and the apple-like fruits come from it. Presumably, the tree also smells bad. I don't know why the tea is made of flower pedals, you tell me. Floral Tea I suppose.

Episode 8

'Legion of Grimfax', named after the captain. the legions are divided by generals. Assumedly, there's only one?

There are still no glaciers. There's a lot of frozen bodies of water. I have to assume that it rains a lot, or did rain a lot at some point, which also explains the marshland further down.

The shape of the rock construct is very similar to the shape of the Guardian in the Birchwood forest. Also made of Basalt.

Episode 9

Apples are native to the realm.

Chickens, bears, falcons, wolves, elk, Rabbits. (Formling types)

Vex' failure to find his animal form was 'a long time ago'. Perhaps Zane really wasn't the ice emperor for too long, due to Vex just being kind of the only icified guy. If the natural state of winter in the never realm allows for greenery, then it must not be a super cold winter.

Formling ritual includes a travel in silence, as well as a chase to ones own animal. It's granted to the formling once said formling catches their animal. Perhaps Vex did not catch his, it probably didnt show up for he is 'not worthy'. The Ritual also seems to only occur in the winter(?)

There is a type of purple berry as flora as well, in the form of a bush.

Boreas is the one who doomed the formlings. It is good to note that the ice does not kill, but freezes.

Zane and Vex did not have an army until recently it seems. He and Vex brough boreas, but no others.

Episode 10

There are a lot of large ribcages. What large fauna have been killed? large quadropeds of some sort?

The castle probably existed long before Zane inhabited it. I wonder who made it in the past?

Episode 11

The Realm tea opening to Chima Beavers. Mystake made the travelers tea recipe.

Very interesting that tea leaves open to any realm. First Realm, Chima, Underworld, Cloud Kingdom, Departed Realm.

THE DEPARTED REALM!!! Its Green and dark, perhaps the preeminent's existence there has warped parts of it.

Speaking of the Preeminent, she appears to have the whole realm inside of her. When she died, she appeared in the departed realm, though is still the embodiment of the cursed realm. Is she smaller than she was before?

Episode 12

The castle is the king of the realm(?) the samurai are clad in Red.

Zane seems surprisingly level headed when using the scroll. However, he seemed to struggle slightly to put it down.

Zanes 'I feel like I have been here a long time' does not make sense given how quickly he just spawned in the realm, but perhaps he is temporally displaced and is feeling the effects of said displacement.

Episode 13

Zane seems rather adamant on not killing. Its strange that his ice isn't killing.

Corrupted Ice behaves like Vengestone. Perhaps Vengestone is Corrupted Earth.

The Ice samurai are not fully 'evil', or rather fully mind controlled. At least, not the general.

Episode 14

'Lava Zombies' the name of an old arcade game made my Milton Dyer

Craig is 8 ft tall.

Zane spends a lot of time sleeping. perhaps constantly using his element is doing a number on him.

Episode 15

the berries are more potent than the tea leaves.

[zvaigzdelasas]

Every day I drive around town I see at least 1 thing that makes me say to myself 'ah so this is what it's like to live in a failing state'

[jash62]

The Hell Universe Entry 2 part 1

Slight breeze blowing. Foot falls on dirt. snapping twigs. Rhythmic stretching of leather and cloth. Rustling of brush. Slight heavy breathing.

Person 1 assumed male voice: Hello, hello, testing testing, 1. 2. 3.

Hand hitting plastic

Person 1: Huh this transcriber program is not bad, but how will I remember that person 1 is me? I guess male voice-

Crow call in the distance

P1 to Me: That's pretty cool that this program can tell it was a crow. Wait it changed person 1 to me!

Deep laughter

Me: That is ever loving cool. Okay. Now only if I can break up the paragraphs so it's not one big block of texts.

Audible Pipboy clicks.

Me: There. Hopefully the setting are right. Monty's Log, Diary, Journal? Screw it! Captain's log Oct 25 2287 currently 1400 and change. Weather humid as fuck. Location: west-south west of the neighborhood. Current mission: tracking my wife Cassandra. Status: pain in my ass.

Deep sigh from Monty

Me to Monty: Ha this is awesome, deep sigh from Monty. I wonder if this thing can tell the difference from voices. Experiment for later. Anyways log, the reason why I'm talking to you instead of typing is because I'm out in the woods trying to find my wife with little luck. Not to mention I hate typing on that small ass Pipboy keypad, let alone one handed.

Note to self: thank Codsworth for program.

Anyway I say with little luck is because according to Codsworth, there was a rain storm rolled through not too long ago and wash her tracks away from the vault.

Speaking of the British ass, after I woke up yesterday afternoon, (after my drunken cry fest Hangover) Codsy-poo reminded me of my supplies box I buried in the backyard and that it was still there. So after digging it up, and finding my paranoia finally paying off, I took stock.

3 different carrying bags for supplies

4 empty duffle bags for scavenged supplies

Footsteps stop

Monty: 1500 already and a rock that looks comfortable to sit on, brake time!

2 asummed bags hit the ground. Bag 1 zipper opens. Metal scrapes against cloth. Plastic cap unscrewed. Liquid being gulped down assumedly by Monty.

Monty: ahhhh that's the stuff. You know log assuming makes an ass out of you and me.

More cloth rustling against metal and cloth. second metal object pulled out from ASSUMED bag.

Monty: Smartass

Plastic pop from metal. Multiple rustling sound from metal object. Crunching noise. Liquid gulping from first metal object.

Monty while eating: where was I

Crunching of food

Monty Swallowing: Okay Mom I get it! No eating and talking. Geez getting back sassed by my own transcriber program. I just trying to eat my trail mix gah!

Swig of liquid

Anyway where was I? Right after taking stock, I reburied what I didn't needed, packed my survival bag with the essentials, cleaned my the guns and headed up to the top of the hill where the vault’s entrance is. Then using deductive reasoning in my tracking skills I summarized my wife went left to the game Trail instead of turning right to the hiking trail trail to the neighborhood.

Rustling of trail mix against metal. Chewing. Swig of liquid.

Monty: I followed the game trail for miles, noting what tracks I could find. Oh boy let me tell you log, the tracks I found are unsettling at best. For example I found what I assume is deer tracks, what may be small mammal tracks large rat maybe possum. Somehow bear tracks and something big.

Rustling of trail mix against metal. Chewing. Swig of liquid

Bipedal, big tail, and from the ruts in the ground and gashes in the trees, fucking long sharp claws. Also fast, tall, and heavy from the stride length, foot size and foot impression left behind this beast wake. Good thing it's head the opposite direction that I am but I need to be careful. (whisperd) just another reminder of what has changed.

Rustling of trail mix against metal. Chewing. Swig of liquid. Repeat 3x Crow call in the distance.

Wind rustles tree branches and bushes.

Plastic cap screwed back on metal container 1. Plastic top is put back on metal container 2. Both containers are put in assumed bag and said bag zipped up. bags 1 and 2 are picked up and put on. Monty starts walking

There's something else log that I noticed today. Human tracks, mostly barefoot human tracks, but they was off. By my count there was 8 of them and each had a walking pattern that was weird. Some limping, others dragging a leg, some at a step step shuffle or a full shuffle. I even swar one was crawling along but the unsettling part was there was no blood trail and all 8 tracks where constant. The unsettling thing is that if any of those humans were wounded they would be leaning on each other for help but the tracks were nowhere near each other and there was no blood trail. So if the humans weren’t wounded what happened to them.

Walking stops. Sound of leather and cloth stretching. Assumed knee hits dirt. Rustle of bushes.

Monty: Ello, ello, ello! What is this!?

Cloth rubbed against fingers. Deep breath from nose

Monty: Lavender and bluebonnet. It's Cassandra, I'm sure of it.

Rustling leather and cloth. Bushes being asked pushed aside. Leaves being pushed around

Monty frustratedly: Come on love give me something.

More vegetation being pushed around x4

Monty triumphantly: Eureka! Thank you Lady Diana! Okay log it looks like she's headed towards the main power line towers. This is great! I have yet to have a solid clue since I found her camp yesterday evening.

Walking continues. Rhythmic stretching of leather and cloth of a steady pace.

Monty in concentration: Okay Monty pay attention, go with your intuition. It's not what you would do, it's what she would do. Oh right my log. Anyway log I found what looked to be her camp about 6 miles from the vault. I'm guessing she found someone else's abandon camp and holed up for the night. How do I know she stopped there you ask log? Well I found her discarded bandages and trash from her new ones. Also I don't think her vault suit is holding up very well either, because I've been following little strips of fabric torn from it-

Distant voices on the wind. Footsteps stop cloth and leather strain. Bags 1 and 2 quickly taken take and thrown to the ground under a bush. A dog barks. A pistol is unholster. Voices are getting closer.

Person 2 assumed male voice: Because you can’t peanut butter your dick up her ass!

Assorted laughter followed by a dog’s bark

Person 3 presume male voice: I don't get it. What's peanut butter?

Person 4 assumed female: that's because your dumb dick Peter.

P3 to Peter: Hey easy on the dumb dick, at least I know what toilet paper is Kim.

Metal hitting metal

Peter whining: ow what was dat for.

Person 5 assumed male voice: shut up Peter you dumb fuck and pay attention to your surroundings. Something off.

P4 to Kim: see something Alan?

P5 to Alan: no but Paul has disappeared.

Person 2: So what he does that all the time.

Alan: who's the dumb fuck now! If Paul has disappeared that means he hunting something.

Kim: Ooooo do you think it's the hot ass vault girl we saw the other week. Petey here has been having wet dreams since we saw her. Ain't that right Petey

Pete high pitch cracking voice: Sh-shut up

Kim and person 2 fully laughing

Pete yelling embarrassed laden cracking voice: SHUT UP!

Alan angrily: ALL THREE OF YOU SHUT THE FUCK UP.
