Quote Four-ish hours is still a pretty long nap, but I guess the warmth is contributing.

He answered as best as he could - he wasn’t the best source for answers on an average life, as his family was poor and barely had more than they needed.

Rust is more interested in senses and feelings, because they need to know about the culture of the sky people, which Kal cannot tell them about. @SpiritOfWrath, is Adtae just standing there for four hours?

Rust has emotions but finds the concept of family strange. Apparently they split when they run out of memories, but because memory can be shared they don’t have any special attachment to “their” swarms. @SpiritOfWrath @Through The Living Glass @Spark of Hope After around two hours, you can see movement in the distance, at an angle from back where you came.

It woke up, yawned, and stretched its neck and wings. It looked quite adorable doing it. It blinked up at the man happily. There were tiny red feathers beginning to poke out on its head.

It’s quite far away, and the rusty haze makes it difficult to make out. But something is moving closer to you at an angle. Rust’s vision doesn’t reach that far, so they continue eating a third blade-plant.
Through the Living Wrath he/him Posted November 20, 2024 Posted November 20, 2024 Adtae was still stock still, still. He was waiting. For the opportune moment.

It’s still far away, but it’s a relative compact shape moving slightly up and down as it speeds in your direction. Rust expands in alarm. “What is that? It is alive, but strange.”

He twisted in upon himself, disappearing and reappearing behind the object, stabbing his blade at the object.

It is a sort of wagon-like box, rolling of bendy spokes around wheels. There’s two figures in the front, both shrouded in black fabric. They turn around in alarm as Adtae cuts through one support for the roof, which seems to be made of a similar canvas. They speed up as it drapes over them.

Rust, too, scrambles out of the way as the driver swerves to avoid you. “I think those might be sky people. Why is Adtea attacking them?” @SpiritOfWrath @Through The Living Glass

The passenger gets out of their seat to try putting the back of the vehicle back together. They move strangely, and you realize their limbs have an extra joint. The black suit they’re wearing makes it hard to see anything else, but it’s unlikely they’re human. The driver continues berating you. “You just showed up? Three weeks to the closest other system, and you just show up?” Then, they process Adtae’s statement. “Did the Quantum bring you here or something? We’re researching the life forms here, of course. What else would a research station on a bioplanet be doing?” Rust walks over. “Sky people! Did I call you yet?” The driver sighs. “You just meant a Ferrian? I didn’t realize there were any sapient ones that decided to stay…”
