Wyvara will eat communally. These names are translated directly from Wyvaran. If you go to a wyvara restaurant, you wouldn't order food for yourself, you order it for the table, then you pick and choose what you want. The same happens in homes where families prepare large servings of food that is set at the table. Holding passers come in varying sizes and are the main serving vessel for reasturaunts and homes. They are shapes that way to enable wyvara to use reachers to pick them up and move them on the table.

Reachers are also used to grab food and place them on their take take plates. It is considered very bad manners to directly take and then eat with the reacher. It is seen as gluttonous and selfish as it gives others less of a chance to ask for some of the food before you take it. Proper manners dictate that you load your take plate with a little of what you want, then go back for more once you are done with what you have taken. Taking food from someone's take plate is EXTREMELY rude. You might as well be shoving your middle finger in their face for all intents and purposes. You then will use the holder to actually take the food from your take plate, if necessary, use the breaker to chop/smash/cut the food on the eat plate before actually eating.

If its not easily grabbable with the reacher, it will be served alongside several empty holding passers that will be used as bowls for use alongside the take plate and the eat plate. Human foods that would be served with several empty holding passers include, but are not limited to: Rice, pasta, fries/chips, sauces/dips, small nuts or cereal.

Most big food things that aren't in discreet units will be pre cut before being served. If you don't say when you order it, it will be cut to an arbitrary default of the restaurant(usually listed in their menu). So things like cakes, casseroles, bread, large cuts of meat are cut. Similar to how pizza places cut up stuff for us.

Wyvara would be pretty impressed by our overall comparative flexibility and acrobatics since stuff like that doesn't really exist for them. They are pretty slow on land and aren't built for aerial acrobatics because theyre built to be low energy gliders. So seeing a funny little monkey bouncing around is cool to them

Wyvaran burial practices

Settlists wyvara do not bury their dead. When the wyvara passes, there is a short mourning period, usually a day. During this time, sentimental items owned by the deceased are gathered. Wyvara close to the deceased will also gather items they closely relate to the deceased as well. The body is moved to the closest beach as the tide is going out by several wyvara who were close to the deceased. The gathered possessions are put together in a bundle and placed on the wyvara's chest, held in both hands, near their heart. The deceased's wings are then weighed down with smooth stones as to keep them in a flying posture, a piece of their favorite food is placed in their mouth and the crest is also extended to emote as smiling. The wyvara will be left for the tides to bury the body. Any attempts to view the body after the ceremony are considered bad luck, for the deceased as well as the viewer. Accidental viewings are still 'dangerous' but proper prayer and repentance will ease the anger and danger of/to any spirits. The reason possessions are gathered and placed with deceased is to help send off the spirit of the deceased wyvara. Settlists believe that as you interact with or, for the lack of a better term, love, objects, small pieces of your spirit/soul are given to them. These precious objects, if not buried with the owner of the imbued spirit, will hold the spirit back and prevent them from passing on. Settlists believe differently about memories of the deceased. They do believe there is a connection but one of emotion, rather than physically tying the spirit. If you remember the deceased and feel sadness, then the deceased spirit will be sad and upset. But if you remember the spirit and feel happiness and joy, the spirit will soar all the more easier in the afterlife. The Settlists believe in a type of heaven. Basically a place of eternal rest and abundance but they do not go their automatically. They must make it there themselves. The open, flying wing posture is meant to help the spirit fly easier to this afterlife, the mementoes to steel their hearts and bolster the spirit, and their favorite food to give them the energy to make the hard journey. (The shells are simply meant to cover the eyes as to keep the dead, dead. Open eyes implies alive so its a bad omen to "bury" a wyvara with open, visible eyes)

Heres a wyvara doin some traditional pole dancing! They spin the poles around their necks, stopping and starting the spins with their arms, and occasionally tossing and catching the neck pole and continuing the spin. The mouth pole is used for add accent sounds and flourishes to tricks by twisting the head to shake the bells. More ostentatious outfits will have the performer also decorated in bells and bangles. Its quite the workout!

trick or treat !!

Ah!!! I wasn't expecting anyone! Here. Have some Wyvaran Puffed Crunch! Its a common street food/snack food. Its made by tossing fried puffy cliffnut grain and drizzled sugary sauce to get the grains to stick together into clumps. There's tons of variations in toppings and style but this one's a pretty traditional sweet and spicy! Enjoy!

Did some futzing and made a sound for a happy Wyvaran!

It's intra-galactic hug-a-human day! Have you hugged your human friends yet? You should! Humans prefer more personal space than us Wyvara but despite this lack of proper platonic pats humans do still require physical contact and most humans don't get what they need to remain mentally healthy. Do do your friends a service and hug-a-human today!

"You do realize you're going to have to tell your parents about us now, right?"

"Yeah... Wish me luck?"

"Always."

Wyvara cut and swap parts of their major crest feathers to indicate romantic involvement!
