Tasmanian devils possess the ability for bioluminescence. Therefore, your OC should be glow-in-the-dark compatible.

It isn't shown on the most recent ref because it's not something I feel the need to highlight to other people in most cases, but rest assured that Vosco does glow in the dark!

Montenegro “Black Mountain”

I got out on the top deck for a yoga session at 6:30am, as we were just entering Kotor Bay for the 90 minute cruise through the fiord-like inlet to the village of Kotor. The bay was dotted with coastal fortified villages, all with churches, waterfront promenades and beaches. Kotor is a village at the end of the inlet, nestled inside steep limestone cliffs at Mt. Lovcen. Apparently, the whole Bay of Kotor is a UNESCO World Heritage site. The name, Kotor, translates to “squeezed between the mountains and sea.”

We transferred by tender from the boat to the harbor, where we were met by our guide, Vasco, for the “Taste of Montenegro” tour. We walked just a few blocks, where we boarded a small bus that quickly led us out of town into the mountainside overlooking the Bay. That gave us plenty of time for Vasco to give us a quick history lesson.

The history was long and complicated, starting in 500 BC. For hundreds of years, land changed hands after various invasions: Romans, Greek, Austria-Hungarian, Turkish and Venetians. Throughout history, the boundaries blurred between what is now Montenegro and their neighbors (Albania to the south, Serbia to the east, Croatia to the north

10th century - Duklja (medieval South Slavic state)

1356 - Zeta (medieval Serbian state)

1516 - Prince-Bishopric of Montenegro 

1878 - Treaty of Berlin, kicked the Ottomans out and officially gave the Montenegrins independence

1910 - Kingdom of Montenegro, monarchy in southeastern Europe during the tumultuous time leading up to WWI.

1918 - Kingdom of Yugoslavia (translated means land of the south Slavs), included territory around Serbia, Croatia and Slovenia

1945 - Socialist Federal Republic of Yugoslavia, lasted until 1992 when it was broken up as a consequence of the Yugoslav Wars. It was a one-party socialist state and federation led by the league of Communists.

1992 - Serbia and Montenegro

2006 - Independence referendum 

2017 - joined NATO (Adriatic Charter).

Vasco said the 1990s were terrible times for the country. They’re not yet a member of the EU, but working towards that. Last year they started using the Euro, and their economy is a bit unstable. He said without being a NATO member, he thinks they’d be in a state similar to Ukraine right now.

A few more facts:

624,000 people

7th smallest country in Europe (13,812 square kilometers)

Surrounded by Croatia, Albania, Serbia and Bosnia.

Only industry is tourism and unemployment is high, yet, many foreign workers come to work in the service industry.

They speak Montenegrin, but Vosco said each of the former Yugoslavian countries have their own language, however it’s the same language with a different name and some regional dialect. Interesting that some of the names are Spanish / Italian and he said that’s because sailers would stop here and the terms they used were incorporated into the language - including the name of the country. It was officially Crna Gors, but became Montenegro (Black Mountain).

Our drive took us to the little village of Tici, where we were greeted by Ilija Moric, a university professor and President of the Montenegro Olive Oil Producers Association. With his two brothers, he is the eighth generation of owners of this Olive Tree farm, in his family for nearly 300 years. He and his two donkeys greeted us with Grapa and donuts - the donkeys wanted the leftover donuts.

Their farm has 1000 trees, and produces about 3 liters per tree, considered a small organic farm (he joked it’s a large garden). In commercial production, the get about 6 liters per tree. We learned olive oil isn’t healthy because of the oil, it’s healthy because of the nutrients. The nutrients come from the pit, which is smashed with the olive. Fresh olive oil will be cloudy for 2 months, so it is left to settle before the oil is bottled. He debunked a few myths (it’s all Cold Processed, and it’s all First Press).

We traveled a few more minutes by bus to an old structure where the old processing equipment was still located (similar to what we’d seen in Sorrento a few days ago). There we had a sampling of: two local cheeses, eggs from their chickens, tomatoes, two homemade breads, battered zucchini, prosciutto, local wines, a yummy apple torte and Turkish coffee. It was a beautiful setting and we felt immersed in Montenegrin history and culture. I wondered what this family’s experience was like and how they’d been impacted by the wars. Had they just survived off the land and kept producing their olive oil and tending their trees and garden? Wish I’d asked.

During our drive Vasco talked about how the Infrastructure in the country is a mess, and we saw first hand that the roads are narrow, steep and crumbling. There were occasions where we’d meet a bus or truck, and one would have to reverse, or both pull their mirrors in and squeeze past. There is no public water or sewer system, must each have a well and drain field. The power grid is down frequently. Vasco said winters are still especially rough, with power out and roads inaccessible.

We drove back to Kotor a different route. Vasco pointed out major developments with private harbors and yachts, some luxury hotels (Aman) but most privately owned by UAE money, or one development from a Egyptian Billionaire who is also building infrastructure for his development. I couldn’t tell if Vasco was feeling proud and excited about these developments, or disgusted. He talked a lot about how hard it is to make money here - the open jobs are all service based low paying jobs. He has friends working on cruise ships and oil platforms making really good money, but that’s a different life. He makes good money as a guide, but only has work about 8 months a year and then sits around depressed the other 4 months. I wondered if 100+ years being in a poor socialist country, not enough people know how to make it as capitalists?

Traffic in town was majorly connected. One lane roundabout at the main intersection. I had a nap during that part after a big lunch with alcohol. We finally arrived at the Old Town and got out on foot.

There are 5km of zigzag walls surrounding the town. Initially started during the 9th century, they were completed in the 14th century with endless additions made until the 19th century. Despite all the wars, erosion and natural disasters, the walls are still strong today.

The fortification was necessary as this was an important trading port, specifically weapons were stored and sold from inside the walls. We walked together to the 12th century Cathedral of St Triphon, where we said goodbye to our guide and went off on our own. Jeff and I walked as high as possible along the wall without paying the €15 to walk to the top. It was fun to poke along the narrow passageways that would open to patios and gardens belonging to the houses built into the steep mountain. We walked the portion of the wall that overlooks the harbor and newer part of the city, but that was crammed with tourists.

We headed down, grabbed a gelato and headed back to the ship to rest up the the evening. We showered and went on deck for trivia and evening entertainment. The restaurants are closed tonight and the staff went all out for a BBQ. Great cheeses and salads, seafood, Asian sucking pig, ribs, and chicken. Then a whole dessert table including an apple pie that was about 40” in diameter.

We ate early, at a table overlooking the beautiful city. There had been a large cruise ship in town, and it was fun to watch them steam off into the Bay while we enjoyed dinner. We then cleared out to the lounge to make room for others. It was quiet and we were into our second backgammon game, when a rush of noise and people came in. Apparently, the gorgeous evening turned into a sudden gush of rain!

The band moved inside. Entertainment tonight included a show of staff performing about 10 different line dances. It was really fun! So many of the staff, including our room attendant Asep, have such fun personalities and that really came out in their dancing!

I've done a lot of in depth writing about Vosco, but I'm not sure if I've ever just... gotten straight to the point about who they are.

Art credit

Vosco is a Tasmanian devil/bison hybrid. They were raised mostly by their bison mother, who, while they still have a positive relationship, believed that Vosco would have more opportunities if they masked as a pure bison, and thus did not properly acknowledge the Tasmanian devil side of them. Because of this, Vosco has always felt closer to their dad. Though Vosco looks mostly like a bison, their personality and cravings align much closer to that of a devil.

After their dad passed away, they lost the one connection they trusted to accept their carnivorous side and as a result Vosco began to suppress themself and not acknowledge themselves as part carnivore at all, hoping that by suppressing it, they wouldn't have to acknowledge the hole that the loss created in their heart.

Of course, suppressing it didn't work. As a young adult, Vosco realized that by covering their horns with their fur, they could pass as a lion, so they created an alter ego, Piers the lion from this disguise. This allowed Vosco to finally feel like a carnivore again, and they sustained themselves on this outlet for 13 years until they realized it was no longer satisfying.

Vosco had never visited the Back Alley Market before this point, but feeling desperate, they went, hoping that it would make them feel more like a carnivore. They wandered deep into the alleys, eventually trespassing on Dokugumi territory, where the gang mistook them for a new Shishigumi member who had not yet learned the ropes about staying out of other gangs' territories. The lizards beat Vosco up and dumped them on the Shishigumi's doorstep as a warning.

After this point, Vosco began to get to know the Shishigumi and joined the gang, realizing that what they needed was connection with other carnivores.

Vosco's about due for a new ref! Decided to go for a vintage movie poster feel with this one, particularly because of how Vosco has a sort of film noir aesthetic to them.
