Housepets!

Just realized I don't think I ever clarified this...
Bold text means the pair is speaking in Yasal, normal speech is normal, italics is emphasis is what I've been doing. If that's not a good way or is confusing I can change it, I know I sorta broke that pattern way back but this should be consistent past that one example.

Good to know, thanks. ^^

For clarity, I usually write other languages between these things: <>.

Does anyone know if Citrisfur replied to my latest post in the rp? I sent them a pm but I got no response.

The post mentioned here:

"Uhh where is James?" He asked, looking around the library.

I do not believe Citris replied to you.

It seems they have not been online since the 14th.

If anyone's interested, Josh Widdicombe has a Devonshire accent so this is pretty close to how I hear Lightfoot if he wants to let his accent show.

I've based the idea for Ryan's tower on 71 South Wacker in Chicago, although it's not quite as big or broad. Also I turned it blue.

Amy is a Cornucopia, inspired by the goat foster mother of Zeus, Amaltheia. She has the ability to detach her horn and use it to produce a nearly infinite amount of food. In disguised form, she has to fill it first with the food she wants to produce. This is not required in her Kaiju form.

Thought it seemed familiar - it's a staple in most of the more traditional Thanksgiving decor! Didn't know it had actual religious history though, that's pretty neat!

So do the folks at the table have a clear line of sight to the kitchen in such a way that they'd see how that was prepared or are they unaware of the whole cornucopia scene?

Much of the kitchen is just behind the counter. In fact, pretty much all of it is. The grills, fryers, soda fountains, shake machines, and all that would be visible.

I'd like to write tomorrow evening. If you haven't posted yet, try to do so before then!

Interesting bit of lore of the day:
Colossi are the only kind of Kaiju that can be born from non-Kaiju parents.
HOWEVER!
This phenomenon for some reason only happens in Crater City. Nowhere else in the world can a Kaiju of any kind be born to non-kaiju parents.

If a child is a Kaiju, one of the parents must also be a Kaiju with the exception of some Colossi in Crater City.

Sorry for not posting anything. I should have time to come up with something tonight.

A: Very similar. Zoomorphs are the same size as humans, age the same as humans, are able to eat the same foods as humans, have very similar needs to humans, and are even able to produce hybrid children with humans. These hybrids are not normally able to have kids, however, so Zoomorphs are roughly in the same genus as humans, but are not the same species.

(Emphasis mine)
It just crossed my mind that Tigress's joke is something that actually happens in this world. It was going to be a joke about Tigress learning "civilian culture" from her construction site coworkers and I'm just now considering that they exist aaaand I should probably have Mist remark on how their 'mythical powers' are just folk tales that have been refuted many times over at some point.

The bit about there being WWII ruins and historical sites along the West US coast is actually real. Though they aren't normally as extensive or widespread as they are in the CC universe.

For example, there are a bunch of Nike missile sites along the coast designed to defend against incoming ships, and even some Civil War sites (Like Fort Battery) That were utilized during WWII and are now historical sites.

There's an old bunker around Devil's Slide that's a popular for photos.

For some reason, I feel like I should remark that 'Other Pizza restaurants are available' here...

IRL? I only ever get pizza from Pizza Hut or Giant Brand (my grocery store) Pizza

Pizza Hut's pizza is very oily. Extremely oily.
Unlike oil and water, oil and fire mix very well. Too well.
Wildfire is a fire-based dragon.

He has been banned from several Pizza Huts already.

I wonder if it's as bad as the pizza joint near the waterfront in my city. You literally have to tilt the pizza and drain off the oil there before you can eat it

Just to let you guys know, I got a new job!

It's a full time software development position, Monday through Friday.

This means my schedule for writing is going to be changing. Instead of Monday and Tuesday off, I'm going to have Saturday and Sunday off where I can write.

So that means it's best to get your own posts in by Fridays or Saturdays if you can.

Congrats Cyber! Best of luck with it, I'm sure you'll do great there~

Anyone else going to post? I try to make sure the majority of people have posted before I move on, and I only have today and tomorrow specifically dedicated to writing.

I'm just waiting on Deske.

So I'm trying to figure out more about how the mechanics of Wildfire's green flame work.

I'm thinking that the green fire is raw life energy of some sort. When it is separated from living things, it takes the form of the green flame. In this form, the life energy is extremely unstable. If it comes into contact with a living thing, or something else that can sustain the energy, it absorbs into that thing. With living things, the life energy restores injuries immediately and promotes growth depending on the nature of the organism it's absorbed by. Plants and trees can grow to massive proportions, while animal life might regrow fur or scales or even entire limbs if enough fire is absorbed.

Green flame that isn't absorbed by a living thing still cannot sustain it's form for long. On contact with soil or stone, or really any non-living surface, the flame will spontaneously convert into a different form of life depending upon how much flame is converted and what surface it comes into contact with. Wildfire has some minor degree of control over the shape the new life takes, but mostly it depends on environmental factors.

The Raw Life Energy is actually Wildfire's own life energy. And, being a Kaiju, he has a LOT of it. However, excessive use obviously drains him of his own life, and can knock him out or even kill him if he tries to use too much at once. For example, Wildfire would be able to bring a human or zoomorph back from the dead by using the green flame and filling their body with life. However, if he were to try this with a disguised Kaiju while being unaware that they are actually a Kaiju, the drain of resurrecting the kaiju could potentially kill Wildfire.

The next part is actually something Wildfire himself isn't even aware of. He is aware that he can restore his life energy by eating. As his body breaks down organic matter, it also absorbs any residual life energy that might be left on that matter. However, what Wildfire doesn't know is that his body absorbs life energy from any living thing that dies in his vicinity, and he absorbs %100 of the life energy of any organic matter destroyed by his flame.

For example, when Wildfire burned Ryan just now, he actually absorbed a miniscule amount of Ryan's life energy. He then returned that energy by using the green flame on Ryan's burn, effectively reversing all damage done by the fire.

With that post, I end up wondering what would happen. I've done a bit of math - rife with imperfections as this is completely hypothetical and any measurements I can provide are pure estimations or scale factors of human averages - but apparently in a horizontal freefall Tigress tops out at vaguely 296.2 km/h, just above the top speed of the average human falling completely vertically. According to a number of physicists online, that's not inherently dangerous (most of the danger with speed is more about sudden acceleration, which seems intuitively correct seeing as we are all going roughly 1000 mph sitting in place) until she eventually needs to land and is either launched into the sky to burn the momentum or slams into the ground and grants Crater City another fitting landmark. This all to say that it's a reasonably useful containment technique against a single ground-bound Kaiju at a time (despite the fact that Mist is mistaken, as long as the portals aren't perfectly transparent they dimly align with Shadow energy) with the main difficulty being in the release.

Then I realized I'm assuming a very fundamental fact that I should really have asked first. Do Gregg's portals carry the subject's momentum with them?

In this case they do. Point to point portals carry momentum. Portals the stop in his pocket dimension do not necessarily have to carry momentum, but if you've never been then you wouldn't know how to arrest your momentum.

Just a reminder that tomorrow is Saturday. I typically like to post on Saturday and Sunday, so best get your posts in before then if you can!

Apologies to all of the people waiting on my posts. I got my second covid shot Friday which took me out of commission Saturday, and due to personal problems I wasn't able to get motivated to write today.

I will try to catch up some tomorrow.

I should mention, in case it wasn't obvious, Lightfoot Shifted back down to Zoomorph size to treat the Zoomorph-sized Tigress.

I apologize for the delay.

I've been visiting family in California the past week and, while I've had loads of time, I've been struggling with getting the motivation to write.

I likely will be too busy to write for much of Tomorrow, but don't worry. I'm not going to make you guys wait another week.

I will work on my rps in what time I have tomorrow, then finish up on Monday if I can't finish it tomorrow.

I apologize but I likely won't be writing today. I just flew out to California last night, and I'm going to be spending time with my family today.

I would like to try writing tomorrow, so if you haven't posted since the last update, please do so soon if you can.

I plan on writing this weekend since I've got an extra day.

Expect an update either Sunday or Monday. If you can, try to post before then.

She may not be able to really watch TV, but she likes his voice.

Planning on writing tomorrow.

If you haven't posted, please do so before tomorrow evening.

hello! i was wondering if i could have a charcter from out of this world, quite literally. my character is an immortal (not invincible) dimension hopper who just so happened to stumble upon this dimension

or do you think this belongs more for beacon of hope

Sounds more like a Beacon of Hope character, tbh. Not much universe hopping in Crater City.

I'm going to be writing tomorrow, so best try to get something up before then if you can.

Question for the boss, but I'd think anyone can respond so I'm just gonna throw it here.

Mist's next objective is to just get an idea of the landscape, but he's going to try to distance himself from both the Doctor and Gregg. The Doctor seems supportive of this, and I'm not lead to believe Gregg will stick with Mist when he explicitly states he doesn't want a chaperone. Would it be best for the situation to just have him stick around the pair, or can he separate himself without issues? Asking mainly because I don't want to force like 4 posts of soliloquy on his end nor do I want to push a new/reappearing NPC without some warning.

All thoughts appreciated
