Density of the thermosphere at the altitude of the International Space Station during the geomagnetic storm of November 2018.

[whats-in-a-sentence]

The pattern is clearly shown as the zigzag line on Fig. 2.1. (...) These and other features of the atmosphere are shown in Fig. 2.1. (...) Because temperature appears in the denominator of the exponential term, there are small changes in slope of the pressure versus altitude curve within the different regions of the atmosphere and this is shown graphically in Fig. 2.1.

Bro is both the cutest and most disgusting human I've ever laid eyes upon

[rantingravingliving]

Hello, Hello

because it's Thirstday, it is just but fitting to mark the 4th day of Jimtober with some of the hottest Jimins we've been blessed with throughout the years.

And let's start with this Jimin from the Wings era:

I don't know about you but everything about this Jimin is just thirst-worthy. And the sexiest things about this Jimin are his beautiful body line and that delicate hand covering his sight. Jimin, when captured while dancing, is just breathtaking to behold, and in this snapshot, sizzling.

The next Jimins wear the best accessory that propels his hotness into the thermosphere.

Jimin rocking these colored specs (come on Gentle Monster, you got to make that offer) is just swoon-worthy. He wears glasses so well and makes his beautiful face more alluring.

Before we proceed, let's have some water break:

I don't know about you but I need more drenched /wet Jimin in my life. And that slicked back hair (bonus points when the undercut is showing) just makes you want to drink that Jimin up.

Just like this Jimin

Jimin looks extra hot whenever he wears a dress shirt or a suit, like:

But even if he is just wearing casual clothes, he still exudes sexiness:

The great thing about Jimin? You'll never know who you'll get. You can get the hot today then the cutie tomorrow then the pretty next week. But one thing for sure, whoever Jimin we get for the day, he'll never fail to evoke a strong response, because that's THE PARK JIMIN we are talking about.

Leaving you with this Jimin that I am pretty sure is the one to blame for the current Tannies chest collection, hehe

Wish Granted 🌟👩🏾🎶: How Star Came to Earth 🌍 (Bonus Story)

(This story starts years before the events of the story, and leads up to "This Wish")

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

In this special space of Earth's atmosphere called "The Startosphere" ,its located in a cosmic space between the the mesosphere and thermosphere. In this space, millions of stars travel across the galaxy as nomads. They go around seeing different nebula formations, constellations and other wonders of the universe!

All of the star people have cosmic power, but its never been used to the extent of actually permanently changing their own form, let alone turning into animals or a human.

That is, until one young Star saw the Earth.

Humans and animals fascinated him even when he was just a plushie shaped star. He loved how everyone seem to know each other, had exotic creatures in their everyday lives, and eating things like, what were those things called? Oh yeah, food. Food looked good.

And the humans! He loved the humans so much, our Star slowly changed his outward appearance to look just like to them.

Now, our Star was quite different amongst his family and species. As the Star nomads live together and slowly start to drift apart, they learn to live independently from one another. So independently that they're accustomed to traveling alone for decades, there's no need to make friends or even mate often because there's nearly endless stars in the sky.

Our Star did not like to be alone. He loved to make friends and loved his family, but his big happy family did not last forever.

Our Star had a mother, a father and five brothers. His parents were a bit quieter than their children, and the children themselves enjoyed being loud and playing with each other. They could get a little rough, but always managed to have fun. His mother and father did have their hands full, especially when our Star liked to zoom around the moon trying trick them into playing an extra game.

Star had no name, and neither did his two younger brothers. But his older brothers gained the names of Orion and Draco. They started off being together as one group, but as time went on and two of then reached departure age, they became distant from their siblings. When the time came for them to leave at 15 years. Tears were not shed. They would miss their family, but not enough to leave a lingering attachment. As years pass for the star nomads, the memories of friends, mates or family, will fade as they naturally adjust to being alone.

When Our Star reached his departure age, he held onto his memories like a vice. Not wanting to forget the love he had for them. There were days he missed his younger brothers to who always asked for him play a game of tag. Days he missed his mother's calm voice when she sang to calm them down. Days he even missed his stubborn father's well meaning lectures on not getting his head in the clouds.

As our Star traveled, he met lots of unique nomads, all with their own personalities, likes and dislikes. One thing he always wanted to learn about with them was Earth. The nomads had seen Earth dozens of times, and grew a bit bored. They preferred to see planets and nebula outside of the Earth's system.

But our Star couldn't do that. The more he watched Earth and humans, the more he wanted to go there. He just didn't know how.

Star traveled with other nomads, hoping that one of them would be a traveling companion. But it seemed that they would only stick around for a week at most, and then decide to leave. It would be days before he saw one or more nomads at a time.

Star did try to stick with them to other places, but the longer he was around them, the more the other nomads started to get annoyed. He was still a young one, and perhaps he needs to get used to being alone to mellow himself out. It was simply a phase he needed to pass.

But each year he got older, Star still talked about Earth. Like, nearly 24/7. Every nomad he encountered had already seen Earth, but never wanted to talk about it to this extent. Star already knew just about everything having to do with space, and he always saw nearly the sane thing everyday. Earth was always changing, something new happened each day and was full of surprises.

Star attempts for friendship started to backfire, so eventually the other stars were honest to him. He was told many reasons they refused to travel with him:

"You're way too obsessed with Earth."

"The universe is infinite, why bother with one tiny planet?"

"Can you stop talking for five minutes?"

"You know you don't have to hug everyone you meet?"

"Its not working out, you're just...too much to handle."

"I think its better if we travel apart."

It took Star a very long time to process. At one point he traveled with a female nomad named Astra, whom he thought maybe would be different because she enjoyed Earth a lot too. However, after a week traveling together, she challenged him to a race around Earth's moon. Star won the race, and waited hours, but he never saw Nova again.

Now he understood. He was the problem.

So years passed, he traveled but spoke less and less each year. Knowing that anyone he traveled with would leave him. It hurt, but he didn't say anything. He could feel his own glow dimming as his joy was fading.

After he turned 18, he finally came across a group of stars gathered near Earth, discussing the activity of the humans. Feeling a spark of hope, he flew to join them. Perhaps he could get advice on a name for himself! But once he arrived...

It was the same. Star was infamous for his non stop chatter and pestering about Earth, so now most stars learned to stay away from him.

Star could feel his heart sink (If he had one). He finally decided to give up finding a friend, let alone a mate.

So Star sat on a small nebulae in front of a good area of Earth, and watch the people go by. He longed to be down there, surrounded by friends. But there's no way he could ever get there on his own. He was stuck in space, alone.

Star laid down on the cloud, closed his eyes and patiently waited. Waited for the supernova to activate. It would be quite a long time, as stars live for billions of years, but he could wait.

Everything was quite. Until...

🎶So I look up at the stars to guide me🎶

Star's eyes popped open. He sat up and look around.

🎶And I'm throwing all caution to the side🎶

"Hey, is one of you guys singing right now?" He asked a few nomads passing by. The two that heard him shook their heads.

🎶If knowing what we could be is what drives me 🎶

🎶Then let me be the first to stand and shout!🎶

Star stood up and looked at the Earth, now realizing it was a woman's voice. It was such a beautiful voice... He could feel it changing something in him as he looked at a shining light coming from the Iberian Peninsula. The song was pulling him in as he heard the voice continue.

🎶So I make this wish, to have something more for us than this!🎶

🎶So I make this wish, to have something more for us than this!🎶

Star's eyes lit up and a goofy smile stretched across his face. His yellow glow returned as he felt his joy return to his body as he heard the voice gradually get louder.

"She's calling me... SHE'S CALLING ME!" Star shouted as he nearly fell off the could. He ended up doing back flips out of excitement.

"What are you on about?" Asked an older male nomad.

Star zipped over to him. "You hear that? Don't you?"

🎶Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah🎶

🎶Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, ah🎶

🎶More than this, oh, whoa, whoa, ah🎶

The nomad rolled his eyes. "Humans sing all the time for various reasons. Sometimes a bit too much."

"But she's singing to me! Out of all the stars in this universe, she's calling me!" Star could barely contain his excitement, he didn't even realize the nomad was slowly back away from him.

Star listens once more to the song:

🎶I always knew I needed freedom to go,🎶

🎶But, I did what I was told when someone told me, "No!"🎶

🎶Now I've got all of this desire in my heart🎶

🎶And I just can't keep the lid on, but I don't know where to start!🎶

"OHMYGOSH, she's feels how I feel! This is insane, we both want the same thing!" Star paced on the cloud as his mind was racing as his glow began to flicker in unison with her singing. The nomad quietly flew away, hoping that the insane sounding Star didn't notice him.

🎶Cause we've been here generations and generations,🎶

🎶Oh, where should I even begin?🎶

🎶I'm done keeping my thoughts in🎶

🎶No, I won't stop, no, I'm already rushing in!🎶

Star gasped. "Okay, okay, calm down. She clearly needs my help, but how do I get down there?" He rubbed his knuckle on his forehead. "Think! Think! Think!"

He opened his eyes and saw a small glowing trail that seemed to lead to the very shining spot he was looking at. He looked down at his own hands, and an idea finally arrived.

🎶If I could just be free of this feeling of suspension,🎶

🎶Oh, where do I go and what do I do?🎶

🎶My heart is breaking, but my head's held high,🎶

🎶The way you always taught me to🎶

"Don't you worry, I'm on way there, just hang on!" He told the voice. The joyous Star closed his eyes and focused all his power on the song. The light in the center of his chest began to shine, his glow grew brighter and brighter as the other nomads began to notice.

🎶So I look up at the stars to guide me🎶

🎶And I'm taking this as a sign🎶

🎶I'm sure there will be challenges that find me🎶

🎶But I can take them on one at a time🎶

Star's flickering was fluctuating rapidly as it kept in sync with her singing. He took a took a running stance on the cloud and his power built up more and more, until he was filled to the brim with magic.

"What is that guy doing?!" One of the nearby nomads asked.

Star's eyes opened wide, as they burned a bright yellow. "HERE I COME!"

🎶So I make this wish🎶

With all his might and his heart focused on the beautiful voice, Star rocketed himself towards the Earth, leaving a shockwave of light and stardust behind and causing the other nomads to be blown backwards. The stars were rattling due to the aftershock.

🎶To have something more for us than this🎶

🎶So I make this wish🎶

🎶To have something more for us than this!🎶

Star took off at such an incredible speed, he looked like a comet coming to Earth. He was so full of excitement to finally come to his favorite planet, he laughed on his way down.

🎶Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah (so I make this wish) 🎶

🎶Hey, yeah, yeah, yeah, ah, ah (to have something more) 🎶

🎶More than this, oh, whoa, whoa, ah🎶

The bright star was rapidly approaching Earth's atmosphere, and eventually entering the Iberian Peninsula. He was going so fast he barely had time to take in the surroundings as the music swelled up.

🎶So I make this wish 🎶

🎶To have something more for us than this!🎶

Asha slowly opens her eyes once she finishes and notices one of the stars seems to be flickering rather quickly. It wasn't doing that before. At first Asha wasn't really going to pay it any mind, but then it started to get brighter. And brighter. And brigther. It got so bright that she had to shield her eyes from the light.

The animals near her feet scrambled away, except for Valentino who beleted and hid behind her legs. Asha could barely see, but she swore she could hear... laughing? She tries to look back at the sky, only to see something hurtling STRAIGHT TOWARDS HER.

"What the he-" (her eyes widened) VALENTINO, RUN!" Asha exclaimed as she and the goat tried to run down from the tree. The laughing was growing louder and louder. Seeing that it was pointless, she grabbed her little friend and the two hit the ground together. Just in time too, because that ball of light wooshed right over their heads and down the hill, still laughing along the way.

Star realized he passed by the singing woman way too quickly, and he forgot to account for one thing. "I DON'T KNOW HOW TO STOP!"

Both of them looked up and saw the bright light going down the hill, the glowing ball flying through the air until–

"Ow!"

Thump!

"Ow!"

Thump!

"Ack!"

Crack!

"Oof!"

*Cat screeches*

"Sorry! AAAAAHHH–"

BOOM! 🌠

✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨✨

FINAL THOUGHTS

So, how we feeling? 😅

I've been meaning to write this one for a while, as providing extra backstory and lore to "Wish Granted". A lot of readers were curious on what Star's life was like before coming to Earth, since the main story has only been dropping small hints. Towards the end, Star will tell Asha why he doesn't want to go back to space, giving her more understanding of why he's been so determined to stay on Earth. Its also why he loves that there are other Starboys and Stargirls to hang with, he's not alone anymore!

This is probably the saddest story I've written, but I wanted it to have a good outcome, and show what it was like for Star during "This Wish". This is actually the scenario I pictured for the actual film, where Star came to Earth because of Asha's passion and desire to help was so strong, it literally reached the stars! But according to the director, it was star dust. Good lord...

Plus I've seen stories where Starboy comes to Earth and feels homesick, likes Earth but chooses to go home, or they get forced back home. Most of the time they really love being in space. I wanted to play with the idea of a star who hated being in space in the first place and wanted to come to Earth.

It also ties into my upcoming teaser poster for the story where the tagline is "She called. He answered." So I'm glad that actually has a pay off.

The main story will continue later on, just want to finish my outline. And more people are returning of their studies, so I'm real excited to talk to the other writers again! 😁

Thanks for reading!

Mothra and Astra (larva) looked up at the night sky together. Astra, noticing the stars, reached out to them.l

Mothra: do you like the stars?

Astra: *chirps*

Mothra: one day, we'll fly togther, i'll show you the stars closer.

HEADCANON!!!

Since Mothra Astra possessed a rare power to fly higher up to the Earth's atmosphere (I must say, she loves flying higher into space), Mothra makes sure her daughter won't outbalanced the gravity, pressure and temperature once she is there. It's super rare for a moth to fly into space because there's no air molecules to breathe, except the Princess.

She likes flying in the thermosphere because of the auroras' colorful brilliance and the UV radiation somehow she detected, which makes her bioluminiscence even more stronger.

Certain times that Godzilla nearly have a heart attack after seeing his precious daughter dive down like a burning meteor in the atmosphere, seemingly not having a single scratch...but he scolded her 😐

But HEY! OPPOSITE SCOLDING!!!

Mothra hates Godzilla for bringing their daughter on a sea to swim.

And Godzilla hates Mothra for bringing their daughter up from the sky to the extent which he regretted it of dying.

Supervisions are thin though...

Plus, an ideal connection to the stars is something Astra transpires for as a role in the future.

[to-be-a-dreamer]

In case anyone else was wondering, I did the math and, to reach a speed of 5000 mph by going up in a plane and jumping out or something, you would have to free fall from a height of approximately 160 miles, which is in the thermosphere (not breathable air) and doesn't leave you with enough distance to decelerate safely so it's not really a viable method. Yes I took a break from the action movie show to do physics don't worry about it

Scratch work for reference

[drops-of-universe]

Little Drops, I love you! Can you write me a poem?

drops of universe annoying as hell

has a little tale to tell

are you ready? let's get all

autobiographical

over dry salt flats i gaze

a wasted land, horizon's haze obscures a figure mountain-tall

a god, a beast, a fireball

under the burning thermosphere, where does the anon go from here?

[abimee]

ooohh I want to know who CY-ENA's friends that go down w her are.also with the dying planet what exactly did the people in the city decide made it uninhabitable? was it too hot or weather patterns or something that made it hard to survive?

I have a bunch of designs floating around for the other two in the group (besides CY-ENA) so theyre still cooking in the pot a little, but I can talk about two of them: the MC and her girlfriend(?)

The MC (left) has an unknown age, due the new humans having a different form of keeping track of time and ''progression'', just as they have a different measurement system, language, etc. In true human time, she's probably around 36 years old. She was born in a great plain area of the world that is nothing but wheat for miles, and her community focused on logging trees to protect the grain. She's a rudimentary Grace user, having practiced since she was 12 true human years old. For now she is a ''warrior'', which to the new humans mean she keeps conflict from happening by helping various communities and establishging connection with the more isolated ones that prop up.

Her favorite foods are the animals that descended from prairie dogs and owls, as the owl in specific had evolved into rather pleasant pickings. Her height is ''unknown'', but she's on the taller side of the new humans. She is above all rather quiet and considerate, but has the tendency to not communicate her own personal thoughts well and therefore comes off as distant or overly professional, making it hard to become friends with her if you take silence and curt responses as ''getting brushed off''.

Her girlfriend(? wife?) also has an unknown age, but is around true human 40. She's exceptionally tall and brawny for a new human, and sometimes gets the nickname ''Boar'' because she is massive and has a sort of shaggy golden-brown hair color like that of the descendents of boars, who have grown massive in the 15,000 years. She is incredibly friendly if a bit tactless in professional scenarios, so she never became a ''Warrior'', and instead acts as a bodyguard of sorts to Warriors, which is how she met the MC and fell in love.

She is going bald in her age and has lost all of her body hair, and the hair on her head is slowly thinning out and receeding in its hairline. Her favorite meats are the re-introduced ancestors to the Pronghorn antelope, and she loves ale. She has had one prior child with another woman, but they left to another continent years ago, and she does not consider that child her family.

As for what the True Humans were going through long ago, it is not well categorized, but it's a mix of things; humanity at that point had already advanced their capabilities into making underground and thermosphere structures, and were prematurely sent into these structures when the climate grew too severe; across the world the water rose, hurricanes ravaged the coasts, tornadoes threw cities into the air, thunderstorms washed out metropolitan areas, snows froze everything it touched, etc. They went into the earth and into the sky both to protect themselves, and their ''technology'' they were developing to combat what had become of their planet. The 15,000 years spent in these megastructure was spent developing the androids like CY-ENA and the machines and weapons that will eventually become known in the story, but in this time something has also happened to the True Humans in these structures, because it is suspicious that they eventually stopped sending humans to the surface as punishment, and none of them have ever found out the surface has been inhabitable for thousands of years again and came out.

There Is however one True Human that the group meet, her name is Maya :]

assassin/spy!reader x leona brainrot on my mind 24/7. i just need to get this out of my system and shoot it directly into thermosphere

spy!reader who enrolls in NRC with a secret mission. it can be to probe into the workings of the kingscholar family, to take revenge for some decades-long vendetta, or just to execute a kill order (cz why not go all the way).

spy!reader who has to get close to the fearsome dorm leader of savanaclaw under the guise of a clueless student, all the while secretly despising him as the enemy.

spy!reader who, as time passes, eventually sees the layers buried deep beneath the tough-looking prince and learns of his childhood, his dwindled aspirations, his unspoken care for his country. all the vile things they’d heard of him crumble one by one the more they spend time in each other’s presence.

spy!reader who presses down the growing feelings and keeps reminding themselves of their main mission. but it’s getting harder and harder, especially when they can see that they’ve gained leona’s trust. they should be over the moon about this, but all they could feel was the looming fear that they would have to break his trust one day.

spy!reader who (sub)consciously delays the mission. whatever it may be about, they keep coming with excuses-- the timing is premature, there’s this school event going on that’s interfering with the mission, there seems to be more secrets hidden within and they need more time to figure them out. 

spy!reader who was brought up as a heartless weapon but feel themselve melting everytime there’s so much a graze from leona. it’s a foreign feeling, one that they find repulsive at first, but gradually come to love it. it makes them feel...human. normal.

spy!reader who, when leona confesses, says that they feel the same. only that they don’t know whether it’s for the mission or for their own feelings-- they’ve been living in this hurricane of emotions for so long, partly plagued by their responsibiliies, partly indulging in the softest desires of their heart.

spy!reader who can never be too happy with leona. even when everything is perfect, from the weather to the prince sleeping on their lap, there is always a sense of fear haunting them. they know that they have to give it all up one day, that they have to make a decision and it will always have to be to sacrifice this simply yet fulfilling pretense. they know that if they let themselves enjoy this too much, it’ll be impossible to leave.

spy!reader whose time is up. whoever is behind everything has done enough waiting and decides to take matters in their own hands. in the wreckage, among the debris of what was once a dorm filled with vitality and liveliness, leona’s sharp eyes glare at them, laced with fury and hurt as he yells at them to leave.

alternatively: spy!reader who has the tip of the knife kissing the hollow of leona’s throat, yet their hand can’t move despite the many experiences they’ve had. “do it. kill me.” leona says, as if he already knows the answer. he does. and so do them, who wring their hand away and return to the dark place they came from.

+ alternatively: spy!reader trying to convince leona that, yes, they’re here to kill him, but time has changed everything and now they want nothing more than to protect him from the claws of their leader, but leona doesn’t buy it. he stupidly believed that even though the world was against him, he at least had them on his side. now he’s proven wrong and wants nothing to do with them again.

spy!reader who either comes back to end things right with leona and has to live with regrets forever. (i don’t have a definite ending for this au... in fact i probably cannot write something so complicated. but personally i’m leaning towards a fluffy ending cz jesus, look at all this angst already.)

[qcontinuumumum]

Fulgrim AU

It was a glorious dawn on Chemos, the last day of servitude as its industry advanced, its people free from labour and able to pursuit their own desires. The Coronation celebrated the one who changed the planet's fate, Fulgrim, he had stopped the never-ending toil the populace endured for the resources of off-world traders that they needed to survive.

Fulgrim awoke in his palace, it was a renovated factory with its machines removed. The first art of Chemos covered the palace, far from the drab greys the planet had only ever known, the walls were coloured in violets, scarlets and rouges. Paintings hanged on the walls, drawn on the back of supply mainfestos.

Gifts were left by his door, some priceless such as an ornate sword left by an old crone, others more sentimental like a child's doll that had one of its eyes torn off and had stitches over its body.

"These are the gratitudes of my people" Fulgrim mused.

As he walked the halls a man was waiting for him, he was dressed in fine clothing the likes of which the planet had never seen, decorated in shiny gems, all this marked him as one of the off-world traders that the planet once depended on.

"Congratulations" the man spoke "you've made a fine change here, this opulence suits you. If you wanted more you could strike a deal with me. Your people must be grateful to you for all the help you've given them, but they aren't capable of having so much freedom all to themselves, i mean look at this rubbish".

He gestures towards the paintings and the gifts. "This is the work of people who wouldn't know the meaning of beauty, they are labourers they need labour. I could show you exotic pieces from other worlds, and all you would have to do is let me take a few of these people to one of the distant moons to do what they do best, work".

He picks up the doll.

"I mean this is just plain shit", as he tosses it toward a wall.

Quicker than the man eyes could see, Fulgrim had rushed between the doll and the wall, catching it.

"This is mine" exclaimed Fulgrim "these people are mine, their achievements are mine, their future is mine and i will not let them suffer from parasites such as yourself who would let them work themselves to death for your gain and stifle their own desires".

"Your pride will be your downfall", the man stormed off.

Later that night

Fulgrim stood on the balacony addressing a crowd of hundreds of thousands.

"This is the future you have all been tirelessly working for and you will share in its wealth," before the speech could continue the sky was alight with flame as fire fell upon the palace grounds.

The people screamed and trampled over each other to get away, the palace was in blazes and many couldn't escape. Fulgrim looked up at the source and saw in the planet's thermosphere a trading vessel.

The palace collapsed with Fulgrim trapped, the fire consuming all within. The paintings destroyed, the doll burned and the ornate sword... glowed. Its light grew as the last death yell of the people trapped within.

Fugrim reached for the sword and feeling its energy unleashed it.

The ship above was ripped from realty as a warp hole appeared and its crew ripped apart by the souls of the dead.

In the dawn Fulgrim rose from his ashes.

Imagine if some ancient soviet document was publicly released that revealed that Laika ate a baby or some shit, like she was actually a fucking sicko and the only thing they could think to do was launch her into the thermosphere

[justlarkin]

The looking up could be referring to several things, 1. They are space matter like you say, 2. The Utopia WR is chilling on a space probe/station, 3. They’ve become a network entity which means they exists in the Thermosphere, Id say 2 is most likely but you really can't rule anything out

2 is definitely the most realistic. It's just super anticlimactic compared to all the hype that has been drummed up for their grand reveal, ya know? Like, they're just chilling in the sky? Fuxi's pocket world was more interesting than that. Even Michael has a sky island, so I wouldn't consider it super special. Their whereabouts wouldn't have even been brought into question considering they're not MIA and the Rule Makers are obviously in contact with them, so it just seems really weird to draw attention to that.

I was considering inorganic things like AI or robots, but the emphasis on stars made me realize they could also be something intangible, so I guess it doesn't necessarily have to be space matter or similar.

The Network Entity idea is interesting though since it reminded me of something that happened in Kurogane's character quest. I'd have to reread it to see if I'm remembering correctly, but the gist of it is that Kurogane and MC try to fly out of Tokyo in his rocket, but it doesn't end up working. But not because one of the Wall Dragons like in Kengo's Dungeon, it was the troopers from Utopia. I think it was like something got alerted when they went out of bounds and it deployed the troopers to attack them. I don't remember all of the details, but the troopers definitely attacked them when they tried getting out through the sky. So like maybe the Utopia WR is just chilling up there and monitoring the game and running security? There's also that idea that one Anon had about them being an AI within the game itself which might go here too.
