Twice a year, the WCS has a defense drill in which the crew must simulate a mock battle against outside attackers. Typically, the crew weaponizes the satellite itself and completes the drill with ease, but it seems like something's gone wrong this time...

Rochehe! Do you have a favorite model of plane!

.....I think what he's trying to say, is that there's too many to choose from.

Wanna get spooky in the summer? Then you need some Augustween!

from left to right - Rocheche, Rotada, Neneki, and Junii make their way through one of the weather satellite's outer-most hallways.

Sour Apple Slushie - Neapolitan Ice Cream

Berry Popsicle - Orange Cream Float

Some lineless practice I did with my orikeros. I thought frozen sweets were a perfect fit for summer!

Orikero blast attack!!! These fellas have been rattling around in my head for a couple months now. Lore stuff under the cut <3

It’s mentioned once or twice in the series that the planet Keron’s weather is controlled via satellite. I like to think the weather conditioning satellite (WCS) is less like an unmanned satellite and more like a space station, with crew both on the planet’s surface and aboard the satellite - constantly working to keep the installation up and running.

A weather satellite might seem like a huge deal to humans, but to Keron’s general public it’s regarded with about as much reverence as a power plant or water treatment center. It’s just a municipal service to them, and one they seriously take for granted! You can take tours of the satellite sorta like how one can tour money mints or chocolate factories here on earth. There’s a gift shop!

Rotada is the highest-ranking non-military crew member of the WCS, holding the position of head engineer. The WCS is her pride and joy, and even if she isn’t the station’s official captain, she’s pretty much the de-facto second in command. Often butts heads with the actual captain (Neneki) about what’s best for the WCS and its crew.

Kind, but not nice.

She knows just about everything that goes on around here.

Before working on the WCS, she was an engineer for an aerospace company.

Rocheche is one of the WCS’s many onboard scientists. He’s specifically in quality control - keeping an eye on the station's near-constant stream of data to ensure the planet’s artificial weather patterns are flowing smoothly.

The new guy.

Developing a caffeine addiction as we speak.

Fresh out of college and fought tooth and nail to get this job. "Per my last email" is his most often typed sentence this year!

Neneki is the WCS's captain and a warrant officer in the Keronian army. He'd been assigned to the satellite as punishment after being demoted from the rank of second lieutenant, but he's actually been enjoying himself immensely. He's not sure what to think about Rotada, and sometimes clashes with her if he feels she’s undermining his authority too much.

Easy-going. To a point...

Misses his wife. When's his next shore leave coming up???

Before being sent to the WCS, he served as an ambassador / negotiator for the Keronian Empire.

Neneki might’ve only gone down one military rank when he got demoted, but he essentially is a former diplomat sent to manage a municipal / scientific facility. Considering how much importance Keron assigns to military jobs… they did him dirty. At least he's having fun?

Junii is a tour guide, as well as a member of the satellite's PR team.

Chipper and friendly, shes pretty good at keeping kids entertained. Probably because she herself is easily amused.

Double-faced like a Janus cat. She is able to talk with both mouths at once, but since shes only got one set of lungs she runs out of air faster. She usually only does this as a party trick.

i quite literally just realized she looks like beta-design tamama. someone come and kill me right the fuck now

Orikero stuff. Roughly 20-ish years before the "current time", Rotada was working in engineering. Rocheche was working on eating solid food.

[citrus-soda]

Doodle dump for Rotada n Rocheche.

Rocheche is a bit of a flirt, but lacks charm. That pet milliputter Rotada is snuggling gets more kissies than he does...

[citrus-soda]

mspaint doodles ft ocs.

[citrus-soda]

a message from Rocheche

[citrus-soda]

rotada is haunted by the gummy vitamins three

[citrus-soda]

I've been picking at this for a few days - expression practices of my orikeros and one (1) Hallikka x Neneki. For good measure.

[keron-wcs]

I need to know, does Rocheche drink energy drinks and if so what's his favorite?? :3c

Rocheche's favorite could be considered.... the original energy drink.

He likes the flavor and the variety, and will gladly drink it a multitude of ways, from iced to hot.

[citrus-soda]

Rocheche got so used to being a shut-in during college that when he really started socializing again, he was pretty surprised with just how lonely he'd actually been.

Junii is happy to help a friend in need. Even if he squeezes kinda tight.

[citrus-soda]

teq wants to ask if you can draw rocheche flossing (THE DANCE)

The thing about the floss (and a lot of dance moves, actually,) is that it looks fine in motion but super stupid in freeze-frame. Do you think he is stupid? Do you?

[citrus-soda]

Some rotada doodles sans work clothes. Keronians usually don't need to wear full-body outfits all the time, but she's gotten so used to wearing safety gear for her engineering work that going without clothing feels weird to her now. She mainly wears casual jumpsuits.
