Yet Unnamed Story, ch. 3

finally!

Note: When Neverhood said ‘fuck physics, Neechee said ‘fuck it even more’.

He will never forget the feeling when the world first swung upside down around him. All of sudden, where used to be up was suddenly down, and where  down used to be, it was top. He made a nearly perfect flip around the drain's edge and his back slammed over the muddy klay surface, making a loud *FLAP* noise.

'Ouch!' he said, 'Another happy landing, I see.' He made it! However terrible idea it was at the beginning, now he didn't even understood how they could even agree to do something so stupid, it worked! It worked and no one got hurt. Or at least not yet.

As he was lying on the ground, he finally had a chance to take a look at the place he just landed on.

He found himself in a small, muddy canyon. The klay around had a similar texture to the one he was familiar with from the Lake, but as it was getting further from the Drain, it was fading from the grey green to a way warmer, brownish tone. The little darker grains of klay formed strange patterns and anyone who didn't grow up in the Neverhood would immediately recognize them as a sign that water was once flowing there.

The klay walls around him forbade him from seeing further, but they absolutely weren't big enough to stop him from climbing them. If Ciara was there, she could climb on it in no time with her long arms and giant steps. Surrounded by an absolute silence, he took one last look on the dark sky, took a deep breath and finally stood up.

Looking back on the Drain (it seemed kinda strange from this point of view), he could still hear the muted voices of Kloo, Kleea, Bažinka and others, standing around the Signs of Danger and wondering what happened to him.

While untying the rope he had previously tied around his waist, he leaned over the Drain and shouted loudly: 'It worked! You can come here too!'

Unsurprisingly, it was Ciara who joined first with a loud 'I'm coming, bro!', crawled into the Drain and swung in the air almost like Lee, just in a far less elegant way.

'Aw! That hurt.' she yelled as her yellowbrown body slammed over the green mud. She stood up, now covered in mud both from the fall and the previous mudfight.

'I don't know what I expected, but shit on any 'other side' symbolism, this is awesome!' she said with excitement, 'now who wants to explore a new world?'

It took a while to get everyone else through the drain as well. After some failed attempts to find a better way to climb through, they sticked with using Lee's rope as a ladder. Soon, everyone except for Kleea was standing in the canyon. Lee and Ciar were excited, Bažinka was curious, Kloo was worried but amazed.

'I still cannot believe it... how could our homeland have a whole new side to walk on... without anyone ever suspecting a thing...' she said.

'Well, I started suspecting it some time ago and it *did* turn out to be true.' Ciara replied.

'But we still don’t know what’s really here. Wait for what we'll find after crossing these walls,' Lee added, 'it could be both nothing and everything.'

#Bažinka

This adorable little robot is designed to make sure its photosynthesising passenger is well taken care of. It moves towards brighter light if it needs, or hides in the shade to keep cool. When in the light, it rotates to make sure the plant gets plenty of illumination. It even likes to play with humans.

Oh, and apparently, it gets antsy when it’s thirsty.

The robot is actually an art project called “Sharing Human Technology with Plants” by a roboticist named Sun Tianqi. It's made from a modified version of a Vincross HEXA robot, and in his own words, its purpose is “to explore the relationship between living beings and robots.”

I don’t care if it’s silly. I want one.

Yet Unnamed Story, ch. 2

I wrote this almost a year ago, but forgot to post it here ‘:)

Enjoy.

‘No no no no no. I am not going to do that.’

The whole squad – Lee, Bažinka, Ciar, Kloo and Kleea – now gathered a few steps from the Drain, while Lee was loudly protesting against his role in their plan.

‘Seriously, Lee? You wanted so much to do it and now, when we’re about to start, you don’t want to continue?’ Bažinka said.

‘I am not gonna climb through the possibly most dangerous place in the Hood. What if I will fall?’

‘Just in case you haven’t listened, we were about to tie you on a rope so we could pull you back if it was necessary.’ Ciara sighed.

‘Still…’ Lee notably calmed down. ‘why can’t anyone else go instead?’

‘Still it’s a madness.’ Kleea added.

‘You,’ Ciar pointed at Kleea, ‘should shut your mouth, and you,’ she turned to Lee, ‘are more of a scarecrow than I supposed, I guess. You are the lightest of us, that’s it. But perhaps it was a bad idea after all.’

‘Hmm…’ Lee slowly sat on the muddy lake surface. Then, out of nowhere, he smiles, his right hand trails forth in a lightning speed… ‘Watch out!’

A mud ball hits Bažinka with a full force. Kleea takes a step back from him, but he only grins, makes another mud clod and throws it back on Lee. In a few seconds, everyone except Kleea is in the middle of a mud fight. The white lady stayed aside and examined with disgust the dark stains on her body, while a few Hoodians who just happened to walk by also joined the battle. (They play with mud instead of a snow, is anything wrong on that?)

While everyone was busy with fighting, laughing and covering others with that icky matter the ground in the Lake is made of, Lee carefully stepped aside from the heat of the battle. He wasn’t

even half as much covered in mud as he would usually be. There was something he wanted to do so the mud battle had to wait. He opened his chest compartment and pulled a thick long rope out of it. He was the Prankmaster, for Quater’s sake. He went through all the secret passages and climbed on every place in the whole Hood. The Drain is nothing compared to the top of the Cathead Mountain, especially when tied on a rope.

In a second he had the one end of the rope fastened around his body. He walked to the turquoise lakewall car to tie the other end of the rope on it and he encountered Kleea who was leaning against the car. He just said ‘Sssh.’ and grinned on her. Kleea gave him a puzzled look.

Now, when everything was ready, Lee walked towards the drain. He looked around on his brothers and sisters who were still fully focused on splashing others with clay, he kneeled on the ground and carefully started crawling through one of the four holes in the drain.

Somewhere behind him, Kleea was screaming: ’STOP!’

Yet Unnamed Story, chapter 1

Ahh, a fanfiction. After 6 months of not writing a thing. Surprise me and actually read it.

Once again, a new day started in the Neverhood -  the ever-lasting neighborhood. Not much time have passed and a bunch of Hoodians already gathered in the Public park. They were chatting, sharing sandwiches, discussing either dumb stuff or even dumber stuff or maybe just listening to the stories told by others.

‘Hey, Lee… have you seen Zizi today?” a guy with a plant in a head asked his small fellow, “he always comes as one of the first.”

‘Swamphead, you really haven‘t noticed?’ Lee laughed. Immediately he was up on his feet and started screaming to somewhere above their heads – to the spiky tree: ‘Oh c’mon, Zizi, lift your lazy ass!’

A few creaking noises came from above. Bažinka lifted his head up and immediately recognized the curly pale-yellow stems hanging from the branch and the annoyed voice yawning: ‘Why can’t you let me sleeeeep…’ He had no way but to also burst in laugh.

“And Zizi seems to not be the only one who had terrible sleep.” Bažinka poked his head to a tall yellow-brown gal who was sitting just next to the entrance to the Hall of Records. ‘Ciar’s mind also seems to be absent today.’

Ciara really didn’t looked very lively. Usually she would be one of the loudest contributors to the conversation, but right now she was just frowning on some non-existent object in front of her.

No one seemed to be bothered with that, the discussion among others happily continued. They were talking about how the last Lee’s prank turned out (Poor Klayzi ended up covered in slime during that), what-the-heck did Lattice put into those sandwiches since they ‘taste like a flamethrower’, or why did Hoborg forbid everyone from going to that bedroom where Klaymen slept last night… at least until someone pretty loudly said: ‘What if you wouldn’t jump? Through the drain?’

Apparently it was the so-silent-today Ciara who said that. All the faces instantly turned to her.

‘Huh, what you’re talkin’ about, yellowbrown?’ Kleea, who was just a few seconds ago completely busy with whispering something to her sister Kloo and didn’t bothered about the discussion at all, immediately replied, ‘None of us jumped and none of us is gonna jump there, what’s the point?’

‘Shut up, white chocolate, especially when you barely know what you’re replying to,’ Ciara fired back on Kleea. ‘Nevermind, what I was thinking about is that when water cycles through the Lake. When it flows through the drain, it doesn’t get out of the Hood! Gravity brings it back up!* So, maybe if you wouldn’t jump but carefully climbed through, that gravity thingy would catch you!’

‘Hmm...why we have never thought about that?’ Bažinka stood up. ‘There could be an entire new world on the opposite side!’

‘The warning on the signs talks only about jumping, after all…’ Lee added.

‘Wait,’ Kloo joined the conversation, ‘you mean you are really going to try out this mad idea?’

But when she saw the wide grin of both Lee and Bažinka, she knew that she had lost already.

To be continued...

‘Heeeey, Swamphead!’

A more detailed view on Bažinka’s head flower. Done several days ago.

[kakostt]

New Characterr! Finally.

This is Bažinka - one of the the most crazy charming people in the whole Hood. Bažinka has no hair or stems - he has a hole in his head with a plant in it. It is also hard to point out a specifc gender - but people basically call him ‘he’.

Hobbies: telling jokes, making fun of everything, doing crazy stuff Friends: KaLee, Rolyat, Ciara, Kosteau

Card-throwing is back!

Bažinka also likes cards, though he's not such a master as Kalee.

You see how I messed up the whole colouring?

To the deck: Today's concept works with 4 basic symbols: trees, swirls, triangles and crowns. Apart from the numbered cards, there is also a 'Dead', 'Holder' and also an Ace for each symbol. (+ a huge empty space)

There are also about 4 empty cards called 'Father's Free Will' that can be thrown at your opponent to 1) distract him 2) see what cards he has 3) anything else.

[kakostt]

Ziziii is back!

Fun facts:

He’s based on a real person (people)

has a ‘Halfstar’* symbol on the back of his head

actually has 4 splitted personalities

One of those separate personas can handle a huuuuge two-handed sword.

Setted aside shortly after the creation (due to disturbing both Bažinka and Kahless), but now back in canon!

[kakostt]

Eyyyyy!

Somebody may have a vacuum in the head, somebody may have a swamp in a head.

But... You can't insult Bažinka with any pronoun, but still... the official one is HE.
