Mozelodia goes to work!

  
Papa comes over to spend some time with her. She seems burnt out afterwards.
 
While on her phone, Mozelodia makes a scared face.

Her hunger and fun meters are low, so she has a very sad face on.
  
We invite over some friends!
  
She makes a post on social media!

Mozelodia goes on a date with Janeychu. It goes well!

She proposes.

And soon, a child is hatched! I name her Janelia.

Janelia enjoys some time with her parent, Janeychu.

And soon, it's time for Janelia's first birthday!

She is now orange! There is some sort of horn coming out of her forehead now.
 
We go to Hubchi. We meet a Kirby-looking friend.

We invite over some friends! This first guy looks like a computer mouse...

They became grandmas already... I guess the Connection has a faster lifecycle timeline. I also changed the background panels to be glow in the dark~

END OF APRIMAY 5500

 

we were able to get through our first season more or less unscathed. we've got a nice little bunker set up, complete with individual bedrooms (a rarity this early into my colonies) and a surprisingly consistent power supply in the wind turbine. i'm not usually one to resort to turbines over solar or geothermal generators, but this tile's "windy" modifier means it's pretty much always generating power. even just the one has been keeping the grid steady for the time being. early renewable power is actually WAY more important here than i initially expected - there is extremely little wood to work with in grasslands, and after making the initial housing i've been storing it for use only when necessary.

along with the four bedrooms towards the top of the above image, you might have also noticed the extra one next to the battery housing. this was initially for simpson, a wanderer who asked to join on day 7:

 

 

not great - especially with that chemical fascination trait - but more helping hands are always nice in the early game. that crafting stat was especially convenient, given that our four crashlanders all have extremely low skills in crafting. i could probably start growing a little patch of weed or something for her and rynyk's chemical need-

 

well, fuck.

i'll be real i forgot that wanderers could turn out to be traitors. she wasn't a huge threat, thankfully, but she died as soon as she was knocked down so i wouldn't have been able to re-recruit her if i wanted to. such is life on the rim.

on a more positive note, this happened around the middle of the season:
 

that was... WAY faster than i expected. i was honestly scared we wouldn't see a gravship until, like, at least a year in. i'm not sure if this was a scripted event in the same vein as the guaranteed "imperial noble getting chased by a maddened small animal" quest or an insane stroke of luck, but i'm not complaining. guess we can start on that gravship soon.

speaking of that noble quest, i accepted it so i could give four eyes psychic wizard powers. her xenotype gives her psychic hypersensitivity, which gives her a LOT of potential to be a strong psycaster. vanilla psycasts expanded additionally gives me the chance to pick out the abilities i want via skill trees, as opposed to having them granted at random. i gave four eyes "word of healing" and "word of immunity" to start out.
 

we also managed to obtain a greatwolf named yolanda that fell out of the sky. hopefully we can recruit someone who has the skill to actually train her sooner than later

next season, we aim for the skies. time will tell if that comes out successful.

- Wavestar smiles at the family.
- Mistyash is hoping for a small litter he tells Wavestar, she agrees, small litters seem easier, tells him he should have seen what Breezethistle's large litters were like as kits. Especially in a clan with only 2 other cats. Breezethistle swats her for this.

- "Brinestripe I'm getting you a boyfriend" 
- "Huh?" Brinestripe is suddenly paying full attention to her, stopping the meeting the mediators and leaders were having

- Someone noticed.
- Croczoom is struck by lightning
- Brinestripe trues following Wavestar's lead and checks on clanmates, how they're handling the news. He's flattered by cats complementing him "stepping up"
- Cloudpaw flourishes at every task handed to him. Brinestripe is so proud. Wavestar decides that, even though he's 10 moons old, he's ready to be a warrior. He's named Cloudtail.
- Moistpaw is named Moistbreak, and Soakpaw is named Soakstripe
- Coconutpaw is too excited and shoves her nose into Flamingosnarl's too hard. Flamingosnarl laughs about it though, just happy to have such an excited apprentice.

- Their parents hadn't expected it, but the rest of the clan did. Stormhusk is overly excited to announce her new mate, Foambreak.

- Riverpaw is named Riverheart
- Lilypadpaw is given to Eelshore to apprentice under.
- The elders den feels oddly empty, Wavestar and Brinestripe visit anyway. Moonfluff had been young when she joined the elders, it's so... odd now. 
- Brinestripe also accompanies Wavestar visiting Breezethistle, who sobs from her grief near constantly. Breezethistle and Tunastripe had been mates for so many moons...
- An injured loner is brought to the clan by Cavesplash and Mistyash, she takes the name Floatbeetle

Moon 126
- Lightning strikes again, taking Chitonstripe. Wavestar thinks they're being punished, Brinestripe looks to Starclan wondering.
- Eelshore eats tainted prey and passes. Wavestar makes the clan get rid of half the fresh prey.
- Oceanpaw is given the name Oceanswipe
- Wavestar has thrown herself into her work this moon, desperate for something. Breezethistle could only cry when, after so many many moons, Scaleblossom is brought back to camp.

- Two injured cats are found this moon, an old female named Lakebeak and a young female named Toyotariver
- Waterstripe and Moistbreak finally make it official. Moistbreak is afraid Wavestar will be mad, but she just purrs when she's told and congratulates the pair

Moon 127
- Egret retires to the elders den.
- Reedkit follows Driftfuzz around every chance he gets, asking so many questions and keeping him informed on gossip he heard. Driftfuzz is honestly impressed, so when Reedkit is to get his apprentice name, Driftfuzz so generously offers the kit a spot in the mediator den.
- Wavestar seems to think Deputies should keep training apprentices, Brinestripe is given Whalepaw to train
- Fishpaw looks at his mentor, Shorespeckle, and smiles. He's so excited to learn!
- Sandywhisker sits with Spongeburr, unusually quiet. It's taken several moons, but he says it finally, he knows Spongeburr murdered Swantalon. He tells his friend he'd been waiting, hoping, he'd admit it himself. If he doesn't, Sandywhisker will.
- Spongeburr has to make a choice. He admires that Sandywhisker approached him like this, kept it private, wasn't quick to react. He goes to Wavestar that night, and in front of her and the deputy, admits to the murder. He's still surprised to be exiled, thinking his clan would embrace him, but no. No he was wrong.
- Much to the mediators surprise, Iceripple and Brinestripe announce they are mates. 
- This won't stop Marinedapple. Heronclaw and Brinestripe have something special.
- (I honestly just missed that this happened.)

Moon 128
- This moon starts off horribly
- Breezethistle was just going on a walk. That's it, a short walk. She doesn't return. Wavestar panics as minutes turn into hours, Brinestripe is out on a patrol looking.
- He returns solemnly, and she knows immediately. Behind him the patrol drags her mother's into camp, obvious evidence of a dog attack.
- Scaleblossom, Fishwhisker, and her, Breezethistle's last kits, weep over the body. 
- Algaewish is the head healer now, plagued by sadness. 
- No one is expecting Minnowsting to jump him in the middle of camp, and take his life. 
- Minnowsting must have thought grief was enough distraction for Wavestar not to banish him. He was wrong. He swears revenge on the clan.
- Toyotariver succumbs to Redcough.
- Wavestar struggles to breathe. Brinestripe is too sick to lead, currently the clan must follow the head healer. Mikhailfish is just as lost as everyone else, but he keeps going.
- Frogluarel, Toadslip, Teddydrip, Egretdrop, Rainfern, Foamswirl, and Waterrumble are particularly shaken
- Brookmimic think Fishsun couldn't have picked a worse time to confess
- Jellyfisheyes, Penguinflame, new warriors
- New apprentices, Riptidepaw to Mudmane, Pearlpaw to Sunbracken, Ripplepaw to Frozenghost
- Wavestar returns to her den after the ceremonies, but the kits at least deserved their ceremonies
- An injured kittypet is brought to camp names Snapdragonfloat. The clan leaders think they should avoid taking loners in for now unless they are healers.
- Starclan, or most likely Breezethistle, sends them two suck healers. Lightrapid, a young male, and Gooseegg and middle aged female.

Moon 129
- Ghostwave is taken down by a sharp pain in his chest
- Wetfleck loses his life whole on a stroll to a dog
- Green cough takes Swanfleck
- Myrtledapple dies of a rat bite.
- Wavestar sobs about the loses, her mind foggy with grief.
- Stormhusk attempts to cheer her mother up, informing the clan she's expecting kits. People congratulate her, Wavestar is happy, but she longs for her own mother to see.
- Sealeyes, Greenflood, Ripplepaw, Rainnewt, Clamheart, Brinestripe, and Splashskitter are shaken by grief.
- Coconutpaw is given the name Coconutshiver, and Wavestar can't help but worries for the silly cat.
- Sandywhisker is killed by a dog on patrol, cats whisper it's Spongeburrs revenge.
- A sweet kit is found just outside of camp. He takes the name palm kit.

Moon 130
- Kelpdrop announces he's expecting kits. Wavestar seems happy, bringing her mate food, but grief makes her slow. Age is really hitting lately.
- Stormhusk rambles to her father about hits, Kelpdrop grooming her fur. She's excited and nervous, and mad when she's forced into the nursery
- Flamingosnarl joins the elders
- Deliwave and Softbubble are committed to being mates. 
- Rayleaf and Rainfern have become mates, Wavestar congratulates her son
- Barnaclestripe is lost to quicksand and never recovered
- Brinestripe and Heronclaw continue to get close, grief allowing Brinestripe to open up about his woes
- Stormhusk has a terrible headache and wants 

Moon 131
- Thunderdaze dies in her sleep. She at least looks peaceful
- Kelpdrop doesn't know how many kits he'll have. Wavestar hopes it's a small amount

- Lilypadswirl is made a full warrior
- Minnowsting is caught, finally, sneaking into camp. The clan chases him down and kills him. His hisses and curses their names from the Dark Rapid.
- Arielecho does not feel the same about Flukedawn
- Stormhusk's headache feels so much better. Must have been from the kit!
- Grousegull joins the clan as healer

Moon 132
- Wavestar and Kelpdrop smile over their two kits. Two toms... They quietly discuss names, deciding on Breezekit and Dunekit.
- Wavestar is still grieving. Brinestripe is dealing with Frostbite. The clan keeps looking to the medicine cats for guidance.
- Scrubheart is expecting kits
- Clamheart retires to the elders den.
- The mediators sit in their den wincing, watch Arielecho reject Flukedawn again, and Frogluarel not listening to them that Turtlescreech is not interested.
- Splashskitter and Drizzlesnarl think they're being sneaky, but new mates are always easy to spot.
- Patrols remain easy. Salvageflood does get a nasty bite from a fox
- The medicine den is overwhelmed, but Wavestar isn't much help right now. And food is running low.
- Food will have to come first, then she'll make the clan relax.
- Wavestar and Brinestripe sit quietly together, watching the clan. Wavestar watches him shiver, quietly praying to starclan they don't take this deputy from her as well.

Year: 11
Cats: 121
Food: Poor
Medicine: Poor

[MonochromeClown]

Aislingclan - Year 1 - Part 2
Moon 4
The morning of the fourth moon Shydust awakens from a startling dream, Redquill looming over her with worry in his eyes before the calls of many cats come crying behind her but everytime Shydust tries to look for them they’re behind her again. She doesn’t know what this means but she’s sure it’s a vision of some kind… She spends most of the day trying to figure it out, hoping Starclan will send her a more clear sign soon. She hears Melonstar calling for a clan meeting and pads into the clearing.

 Melonstar stands above the clan, his leg has thankfully healed but it feels weaker than before, Shydust had told him he may always have trouble with that leg, still he refuses to let that stop him from looking after his clan. He announces he is all healed and to start off the moon he proclaims that Moonpaw and Bluebellpaw will be made warriors, he honors Moonjumble for its vigilance and gives it the name Moonjumble. The small cat nods, happy to have made it through its apprenticeship. Melonstar turns to Bluebellpaw and honors her assurance, noting that she did well to train while he was stuck in the medicine cat den, he names her Bluebellstare. Bluebellstare puffs up her chest proudly.

Shydust takes her apprentice Micapaw out to gather more herbs. With greenleaf upon them it was the perfect time to gather medicinal supplies, especially goldenrod. The two cats find themselves surrounded by tall flowers and the two exchange contact calls, meowing to each other as they work. It’s a very successful gathering and Shydust rethinks some of her doubts about Micapaw. Later Shydust is surprised when a yowl comes from camp, she runs out in time to see Micapaw fighting a snake, grabbing it and tossing it out of camp completely unscathed. She’s very impressed with her apprentice.

The patrols have awkward encounters with Baskclan and Fishclan both, the clan is still young and their presence in the territory is still fresh in the other clan’s minds… As well as Micapaw’s defection to Aislingclan… It’s no wonder they don’t seem to be warming up too quickly.

Moonjumble loses in a race against Lindenminnow and feels bitter about it, scowling and lashing its tail at its former mentor. Lindenminnow tries to make it up for the cat by bringing it prey and is surprised to find Moonjumble doing the exact same thing for her. The two laugh and sit down to eat together. As Moonjumble passes by the prey pile later it is suddenly ambushed by a group of rats, it yowls and furiously fights off the rats but not before being injured. The other cats come rushing just as Moonjumble collapses in pain.

Melonstar limps into the medicine cat den later to try and apologise for not helping Moonjumble sooner with the rats but finds it chatting with Orchidpaw, recounting the event to the younger cat and maybe exaggerating a little as it does so. Melonstar chuckles, reassured. He leaves the medicine cat den only to come face to face with Ibisglare who’s staring down at his leg… She tells him to get it checked out and to stop pretending like it’s okay. Melonstar is offended, he just wanted to be an attentive leader and not be caught up in the medicine cat den anymore but Ibisglare is insistent.

Melonstar begrudgingly goes to Shydust for help. Chuckling he explains the situation, saying his leg has been feeling inflamed and painful. Shydust says he’s lucky she likes his laugh, he should have been here sooner and Melonstar can only pout like a kit as she tends to his leg.

Moon 5
On the dawn of moon five Orchidpaw is woken up by Burntdream’s scent in the apprentice den, the warrior places a bundle of purple flowers down infront of Orchidpaw, saying he’s been doing so well as an apprentice he deserves a little gift. Orchidpaw happily takes the flowers, placing them in his pelt. Burntdream spends the morning telling Orchidpaw and Zappaw about the adventures he’s had as a warrior, perhaps exaggerating… Just a little.

Orchidpaw bumps into Melonstar outside the medicine cat den, he’s still limping and looking pained. Melonstar admits to Orchidpaw he’s maybe a little too eager to get back into his duties, he just wants to be good for the clan but he worries he’s not enough… Orchidpaw finds himself relating, he’s just an apprentice right now, not a true warrior and that’s all he wants to be. He feels a little comfort from his adoptive father before leading him back to Shydust to be looked after.

Melonstar feels a little better after some rest and goes on a hunting trip with Burntdream, they don’t catch much and Melonstar shares a piece of prey with Burntdream that is too small to bring back to camp. Burntdream appreciates the gesture. Lindenminnow notices the generous gesture when she scents the prey on Burntdream’s breath, glad their leader is so kind.

Bluebellstare brings Lindenminnow a large piece of prey, saying she looked hungry. Lindenminnow knows this is Bluebellstare’s favourite kind of prey and is very warmed by the gesture, saying so. Burntdream interjects to say his favourite prey is squirrel, Ratfur says “No way!” and admits that’s her favourite too… Bluebellstare is unamused as the two take her gesture as a chance to bond with each other instead of praising her.
 
Micapaw is dreading his apprentice duties and when Burntdream comes up to him he realises that he accidentally made a face at him, Burntdream frowns. Later Micapaw notices Burntdream is fixing a part of the medicine cat den  without being asked or telling anyone. He cringes as he realises Burntdream was probably going to ask him that before he weirded him out.

 Ibisglare sees Lindenminnow staring off into the distance with a blank look on her face, she’s a little creeped out. Lindenminnow snaps out of it a while later, stressing about her zoning out… She wonders if she should go to Shydust about it but when she does Shydust says she’s too busy tending to Moonjumble to attend to something so silly.

Ratfur plans to visit the medicine cat den to check up on Moonjumble, when she eventually does she meets Micapaw in there who is tending to it. She offers them both some prey and they all take a break to just chat idly. Moonjumble appreciates the company.

The clan is alarmed to hear from a returning patrol that a badger sett has been spotted and a new scent has been detected in it, indicating a badger has taken up residence there.

Moon 6
Micapaw awakes from a strange dream, he couldn't make out any images, only hearing the call of unfamiliar cats. He brushes it off, just a weird dream, nothing else. Shydust hails Micapaw down to talk about gathering some blackberries, as he does Bluebellstare excitedly states she’s seen some red berries nearby that looked useful. Shydust very harshly warns Bluebellstare to never pick red berries without a medicine cat to approve them before padding off with Micapaw. Bluebellstare is frustrated by her scolding, just wanting to help.

Melonstar calls for a clan meeting, declaring that Zappaw is ready to be promoted to Warrior, honoring her for her intensity and giving her the name Zaptangle. Zaptangle sits up as straight as she can, feeling very proud of herself. Ratfur and Ibisglare look on with similar pride, Ratfur almost crying with how relieved she was knowing her child had thrived since leaving Umbreclan, she never thought she’d be glad to see her kit become a warrior.

 Burntdream sees the pride and relief on Ratfurs face, remembering his partial resentment towards Ratfur for being his mentor. Remembering his first patrol, how he broke down crying over his fears of never becoming a warrior, over his memories of the violence his old mentor made him commit… Ratfur never forced him to do anything he didn’t want to but yet he still felt badly towards her… At least until now. He pads up to Ratfur, quietly meowing an apology for taking her mentorship for granted. Ratfur wasn’t expecting such an apology but she appreciates it regardless and the two bond over their old clan woes. Melonstar watches from the side, glad that Burntdream managed to tie up those old resentments.

Zaptangle brings his old mentor a piece of prey, thanking her for teaching her and looking out for her and her mother all this time and even for abandoning Umbreclan for all of this. Ibisglare smiles warmly, wrapping her paw around Zaptangle and saying she’s just glad the kid actually made it to warriorhood. Zaptangle and her laugh about their time together.

Zaptangle overhears Shydust and Melonstar speaking. Shydust is giving advice to Melonstar but it seems to be more of a scolding, telling him to be more careful on his weak leg and take things slow. Melonstar snips that he’s not slowing down like she is before limping away angrily. Zaptangle feels bad for Shydust and worries for their leader and how hard he’s pushing himself.

Moonjumble, who thankfully recovered from the rat attack, sees that Orchidpaw’s piece of prey looks tastier and asks if he’d like to swap, Orchidpaw agrees saying that he likes that one better anyway. Orchidpaw perks up as Bluebellstare approaches where they’re eating. The young cats gossip about clan drama, mainly Zaptangle’s vigil tonight and how intimidating Shydust is as a cat.

That night while on vigil Zaptangle is so focused on staying awake that he doesn’t notice the cats sneaking into the camp. He rushes into the clearing as he hears cries in the morning, Bluebellstare exclaiming that someone has stolen prey, the clan can see clearly enough the missing prey and pawprints leading out of camp. Bluebellstare snaps at Zaptangle saying he was supposed to be keeping watch! Zaptangle sheepishly apologises and offers to go on the patrol to try and find the intruders. Ibisglare is glad to have a clanmate like Bluebellstare as the young cat quickly organises a patrol.

Shydust suggests two separate groups go out, in case they’ve split up. Moonjumble interrupts to say that it, Zaptangle and Bluebellstare can go while Burntdream, Lindenminnow and Ratfur split off to make sure the cats haven’t gone elsewhere. The clan praises Moonjumble for the suggestion but Shydust’s tail flicks, annoyed that the young cat was complimented for her idea.

While in camp Shydust apologises to Melonstar for being so hard on him about his injury, saying she shouldn’t have to remind him about his own struggle. Melonstar sighs and says it’s alright, he has been pushing it a bit but he just wants to be useful for his clan! And apologises for his own mean comment. Shydust tells him he shouldn’t have to push himself, he’s already doing plenty for the clan… But she doesn’t know if Melonstar takes it to heart.

Moon 7
Lindenminnow confesses something to Ratfur, saying she… Admires the she-cat and would love nothing more than to spend more time with her. Ratfur is startled by the confession and panics saying she can’t- Lindenminnow is… Well… An apprentice killer… And she’s not sure if she’s okay with that just yet. Lidenminnow’s heart breaks.

Zaptangle is hacking up her lungs, last moon she pushed herself too hard on the patrol to make up for letting those rogues into camp, now she’s paying for it. Shydust says she has greencough and needs to stay in camp for now. Zaptangle is saddened to be spending time in the medicine cat den rather than being out there searching for the intruders.

Melonstar notices Lindenminnow has been looking down lately and offers to go out on patrol with her. They go and Melonstar attempts to cheer her up by splashing her with the nearby creek water. They go a little too far in the water and end up getting soaked, the two are laughing upon returning to camp but later Lindenminnow is coughing and visits the Medicine cat den, Shydust tells Melonstar she has whitecough. The leader feels immensely guilty.

Orchidpaw goes up to Micapaw claiming Shydust told him to tell Micapaw he has to change the moss in the warriors den today, Micapaw sighs and does so, only realising halfway through that Shydust would’ve just told him herself. Orchidpaw takes this time to sneak off and go on patrol with Ratfur, trying to avoid Micapaw’s wrath. On patrol Orchidpaw admits to Ratfur that he maybe kind of sort of had a conversation with a nearby kittypet… Asking if that makes him disloyal? Ratfur laughs and says no of course not, as long as Orchidpaw’s loyalties stay with Aislingclan. Orchidpaw sighs, glad to get that off his chest.

Lindenminnow lays in the sun of the medicine cat den, having been told of a great spot by Melonstar when she notices Burntdream sneak into the den and flop down beside her. She asks him what’s on his mind, Burntdream admits he’s been thinking a little of his old clan, Umbreclan… Saying maybe Lindenminnow is the only cat who understands what it’s like to hurt another cat so badly and regret it. Lindenminnow gets the young cat to open up more about his previous difficult apprenticeship and the two bond over their similar pasts.

Moonjumble and Ibisglare visit Lindenminnow in the medicine cat den as well, passing Burntdream as he leaves. Lindenminnow invites them into the sun with her and they take her up on the offer. Moonjumble immediately opens saying she shouldn’t have been playing in the stream if she was sick, Lindenminnow quietly says she didn’t think it was very serious… Ibisglare shakes her head and says the health of the clan is always serious, even if it’s minor, brushing her tail against Moonjumble to back off a little, saying it’s okay though… She’s sure Shydust can take care of Lindenminnow and Zaptangle both, looking over at the sleeping warrior. 

Moonjumble nudges Zaptangle awake a little later, asking her how she’s feeling. The fresh warrior admits this was all her fault, she let the rogues in and now Starclan is punishing her. Moonjumble just sighs and says it’s never that simple, saying with leaf-bare around the corner of course the rogues are going to get desperate. Zaptangle has to agree. Ibisglare who is still in the medicine cat den says even the dogs are getting desperate, admitting she saw a huge one just outside the border looking for scraps in the leaves. This makes everyone nervous.

Melonstar is feeling so guilty about making Lindenminnow sick, thinking surely his clan sees him as a fool, not just for Lindenminnow but for his accident too, they’ve all been watching him limp around on it and he notices their looks… He slumps into the medicine cat den, looking sadly down at Lindenminnow who perks her head up to greet Melonstar, he apologises for making her sick and Lindenminnow reassures him that she already was and she was just pushing herself too hard to goof off with Melonstar after… Ratfur rejected her. Melonstar is surprised and takes the time to talk it through with her, the two promising to each other not to punish themselves anymore.

Ratfur hears their conversation from outside the den, regretting rejecting Lindenminnow like she did…

Behind the scenes
Part two yay!!! I've been so motivated to write for this, we've even started a roleplay between me and Erin that we may end up publishing as a more cohesive story? We'll see how that goes. For now lets get onto the line up!


I hope I haven't been insensitive with Melonstar's injured leg, maybe he's been limping around a little too much? I'll think about maybe making him more recovered in the coming moons, I just find the idea of a disabled leader appealing as sooo many disabled cats in Warriors proper get pushed aside or killed off and the one leader we did have was basically tortured for being disabled the whole time which makes me sad x(

Also I'm sooo sad Lindenminnow got rejected, I want lesbian cats!!! Hopefully in year two? We'll have to see.
Following art is all by my wife, venusiansocket.


Shydust receiving her vision, I've played a little into the future so I think I know what this is now but speculation is always fun! Let me know what you think it could mean : )


Bluebellstare and Moonjumble's naming ceremony, I really love these two especially Bluebellstare, she's a little mean but she's allowed she's a sad lil teen.


I loooove how kind Burntdream is with the apprentices, hopefully he gets his own soon- I maybe... Sort of... Want a burntstar but we'll see!


The big chat near the end, I love when I can make the cats have big social sessions where they're all talking and getting along, it makes me happy and hopefully isn't a drag to read.

Anyway- That's it for now, gonna finish writing up year one and then I can finally play again AGH!!!

new baby Mima!
 

Revenge of Snake.
 

ball.
 

Mima took the same child form as Pippa.
 

Gubby is still hanging out today.
 

i am sick, so Lucian is on vacation today.

[gyiyg]

new baby Jo! i accidentally caught her between frames
 

Revenge of Snake 2
 

she did not seem pleased about this robot, but she still took it to sleep with for her nap.
 

she began balling immediately after evolution.
 

Mima became Young Mametchi.
 

Pot Plant.
 

the pot plant grew an enjoyable sun face.
 

Mima also dug another hole.
 

much like her father before her, she will immediately eat cake from a hole in the ground.

other creatures again probably tomorrow
 

[gyiyg]

mima is chilling today. see her astral project.
 

Jo became a teen, and seems to like playing with the balloon as a c-button animation.
 

Lucian wanted to play with the microphone as soon as he got home.
 

he did some office work for a little while.
 

then, he went on a date with his sake bottle friend.
 

sake bottle marriage.
 

"Sephiratchi" was suggested as the name for this one, so obviously his name is Sephiroth now.
 

no one was at the park to play with Sephiroth, so he just ran around for awhile.
 

there was an update that added some new items to the store, so we went to check them out. (oddly enough, the rubik's cube and gameboy are both considered "age appropriate" for a baby, but the fidget spinner is not.)
 

evolution. i don't know where the extra baby at the birthday party came from.
 

Cancri picked up the radio, then immediately stretched out and relaxed once he realized there was music playing from it.
 

captured the bowl.
 

he met Skitter today. 2 crabs
 

they seemed to get along pretty well.

Welcome back to the Arena! At Schmoo's insistence, we're going to start today off with a rematch against Paradigm and Singularity of The Workshop. I realized after last time I made the custom weapon a little too powerful, so I went back into the ActionScript files and made some adjustments.

Here's the original version of the weapon:



 

And here's the new, downgraded version:

The damage per shot has been lowered from 140 to 125, the rate of fire has been lowered from 59.4 shots per minute to 49.5 shots per minute, the maximum firing distance has been lowered from 200 to 180 units, and the weight of the weapon has increased from 10 to 12. All this means that we should have a much harder time beating the Workshop with this weapon, bringing this arena more in line with the difficulty of the rest of the game. The increased weight means we're forced to equip Schmoo with weaker armor for this fight, which happens to be the snazzy black armor she was whining about not getting to wear earlier.

"I was not whining. Whining is what robots do when they have too much dust in their ventilation systems."

With that, let's get into the match! Be sure to skip to 2:34 for the winning attempt.

"I thought you didn't like how difficult the arena was getting?"
"Yeah, but that was before I had a reality-bending god gifting me new weapons. If I'm going to cheat, I want it to be at least close to fair."
"Okay, I'm not actually a god, just- whatever. I'll explain it to you later."

Now that we have our consciences clear(er), we can talk about the real match for today- Scraptoria 2059! We've also got another chassis upgrade to perform, so we'll cover that as well.

"Why'd the two Slayers get thrown in here with the weakest weapon and third-weakest armor on the market? Did someone just run out of money?"
"They're probably decoys, to distract opponents while Reaper does all the damage."
"Horrid. I hope they at least rotate who has to be the cannon fodder."

The new chassis we'll be purchasing today is the Xeroi CLR-2050, its increased weight limit allowing Schmoo to equip some much better armor.

"Okay, this one just looks like a mess. Glad that'll be on the inside."

This chassis in particular is a drastic improvement from the previous one. Even with the latest armor and weapons equipped, there is still a generous amount of room for heavier equipment. If the arena rules allowed, we could even fit two guns on her.

With that out of the way, Schmoo's ready for her match! 

See you all in the next installment!

Welcome back to the Bot Arena! Today's installment is going to be a bit shorter, as we really only have one new item to cover. Today's match is in The Colosseum against Asklepios, Nemesis, and Hephaistos.
 

"Jackhammers? Seriously? There's so many better weapon options at this point..."

As you can see, Nemesis and Hephaistos aren't anything too special, but Asklepios is using a weapon we've never seen before- in fact, it's technically not a weapon at all! The Zeni PRS is a molecular distributor that can restore structural integrity to robots by rearranging the molecules on damaged parts, slowly bending them back into shape. Similar tools are used in most workshops outside of matches, but this is the first time we'll be seeing a portable unit in the arena itself.

The redistributor is mounted on the weapons platform of a robot, and it cannot be used offensively- meaning that any robot equipped with one of these will be completely unable to attack opponents. Obviously these aren't going to help us at all, since there's no one else for Schmoo to heal and she'd be completely defenseless with a distributor equipped, but they are going to appear in a few upcoming matches.

For this match we'll be giving Schmoo the Torrika KR-2. Since Nemesis and Hephaistos are both using jackhammers, there's no need for specialty long-range weapons here. Staying out of range of Nemesis and Hephaistos will be the easy part here- the hard part will be making sure to damage Asklepios. Any robot with a distributor equipped is smart enough to avoid enemy robots entirely, even attempting to hide behind teammates when they can, and while we can kind of control Schmoo's movement, there's no way to control her targeting system- she'll always fire at the closest target regardless of what orders she's given. So the difficulty in this match lies in maneuvering Schmoo in such a way that she's able to deal damage to Asklepios without getting hit too much by Nemesis and Hephaistos in the process. Once Asklepios is destroyed, Schmoo will be home free- without a healer, Nemesis and Hephaistos will both go down fairly quickly.

On our first attempt, the enemy team was able to trap Schmoo in the corner, completely negating her range advantage! This level of coordination on the part of the enemy team is extremely rare, so I'm honestly more impressed with them than anything. Regardless, it does mean you'll have to skip to 1:18 for the winning attempt here.

"I'm glad one of us is happy about that. My head is still ringing from that absolute dumpster fire of a match."
"You don't have a head. Or ears. Or the capacity to develop tinnitus."

[gyiyg]

according to the tracking on the package that contains the Plus that i have coming in, it should be here soon, so i have paused Mima for now in preparation so that they can potentially meet each other. (i also get to have a Ginjrotchi on a device for longer this way.)

Welcome back to Bot Arena! Today's match is against Sabre, Rapier, and Cutlass of Skirmesh, but before that, we need to go over one of the new additions to the shop.
 

"Aaand just like the weapons they're named for, they all look like they belong in a museum."
"Schmoo! Rude!"

Newly added to the shop is the Porantis R33, a heavy-duty cannon with a low rate of fire and a massive damage output. Its appearance, firing distance, and overall role in combat make it essentially an upgraded version of the Raptor-class weapons we saw way back in the first few matches.
 

"It's... beautiful..."


"I'm going to explode so many things with this gun."
"...Aaaaaand I'm going to triple-check the safety anytime you're not in the arena."
"What, I can't be excited?"
"It's a bit scary when the thing you're excited over is a high-powered cannon that fires ball bearings the size of oranges."

No, seriously, listen to the sound this thing makes when it fires. It's the only weapon in the game to use this sound effect, and it sounds menacing.

As Schmoo mentioned earlier, these robots really aren't that intimidating. Sabre and Rapier can barely scratch Schmoo with their Raptor-class weapons, so the strategy is to focus on eliminating Cutlass first- which is easy, since they have the weakest armor of the trio. I completed this match in my first attempt, so no skipping ahead required here.
 

See you next time... Assuming I haven't just given Schmoo the power to wipe out all of humanity.
"I would never. Who would manufacture more ammunition for all the different weapons I'd own?"

[gyiyg]

jo met someone with a very handsome beak today, and they projected hearts at each other.
 

fireworks
 

i swear i caught a picture of them jumping together, but my phone decided to advance a few frames forward from when i actually took the picture. oh well
 

Sephiroth cannot lift.

hoping to have more to report when my new devices come in some time in the next couple days and i'm feeling well enough to check on Cancri routinely again

LORE

Moon 133
- Reedpaw is named Reedeagle as a full mediator. Fishpaw is named Fishfleck as a warrior. The clan cheers
- Scrubheart is surprised how involved Gillgorse wants to be in this, bringing her prey and sitting with her when it seems lonely. She's hoping for a small litter.
- Caakirimist joins the nursery, maybe a tab early, but her stomach hurts. Scrubheart enjoys the company, Gillgorse makes sure to bring extra prey.
- Dovedrift drifts off to sleep one night, and is found stiff in his nest in the morning. Hopefully it was peaceful.
- Arielecho doesn't see Tuftsand that way, and tries to reject the cat in a nice way.
- He whines to Wavestar later that he just misses his mate, she pats him on the head and let's him talk. She knows the feeling.

- Wavestar attempts to comfort her deputy, but finds Heronclaw already helping out.
- While trying to find the missing cats bodies, Rayleaf charges Duckdawn and pushes them under a monster.

- Wavestar always loves visiting kits. She notes faintly they're a little small, and asks Gill to make sure Scrubheart gets extra prey. He's happy to do so.

- Frogluarel tries to avoid Dewmoon asking him out.

- After moons on the run, Spongeburr is tracked down and killed. He finds himself in the darkrapid, and growls at a kit who asks too many questions.

He hopes if he ever must take her place he can be half as special.
- Tropicpaw is given to Fogbuzz to mentor, and is bouncing off the walls with excitement.

138
- Having lost their adoptive mother Duckdawn to Rainfern's awful ex mate Rayleaf, Rainfern and Lobsterbranch hear whispers their birth father Windhiss has died.

Moon 139
- Hunger. Exposure to the elements. Bigger stronger cats, angrier cats. Cuts, bites, scrapes, bruises... Hunger. Rayleaf was not made for life outside a house, and not outside a clan. He was never much of a swimmer, but desperate times and stupid hunger leads to him drowning.

HI THE SOAP OPERA IS BACK


Less cats this time now

So we start with the leaders son committing murder in front of people and ends with the deputy's mate committing murder in secret. I do not know what I'm gonna do with this. I like Brinestripe, I really need to think about if Wavestar will keep him if it gets out that his mate was a murderer. 

Im so so so sad about Arielecho and Sealeyes. My babsssssss. 
Wavestar is still kicking

[gyiyg]

picked up my package today. my supply of small batteries was looking pretty corroded, so i can't try running these two just yet, but they're really gorgeous shells. i ordered some new batteries, so hopefully they're in working order for when those come in (which is unconfirmed, but the Osutchi at least seems to be in good enough shape that it's worth a shot, lol)
 

the Plus was unopened, so it's in immaculate condition, and even started working when the tab was pulled, though i did replace the battery anyway, since it's been sitting in there for 20+ years and i wasn't sure about it.
 

here's Momo. i remember the Plus sounds having a higher pitch than the western releases from the Entama i had when i was a kid. i do need to get used to the discipline icon not selecting for Praise by default, because i accidentally messed up a praise call, whoops. (i have fixed this by getting a perfect score in the dance game)
 

Round.
 

Jo also left today, so here's Lonny.
 

i am fond of this child stage.
 

he opened a treasure chest and found some makeup. he can't use this yet, but seemed content enough with it anyway.

- Heronclaw won't look at his brother. 

Moon 150
- Marinedapple wakes up late at night to rustling. He thinks he sees a cat at the fresh kill pile, and approaches drowsily. It's not a cat. It's not a cat, starclan had warned him.
- The clan awakes to an empty nest and missing prey. They find his body outside a fox den.
- Brinestripe takes Marinedapple's death hard, much to Heronclaw's annoyance. Wavestar comforts him.
- She comforts him for a few days... Kelpdrop goes on a walk alone. He's found later with a peaceful expression on his face.
- Wavestar takes this hard. Breezeice, their son, lays with her in her nest as she cries.
- Kelpdrop and Rayshimmer reunite in Starclan.
- Duckbramble is expecting kits. Stress seems to be getting to her, she snaps at the idea of going to the medicine den already. She isn't going to break, you'll have to drag her in by her scruff.

- Clamheart has been a great comfort to Wavestar this moon, she appreciates having a friend. He fidgets hearing this.

- Wavestar and Clamheart surprise the clan by becoming mates. Not too surprised but... surprised.

Moon 151

- Jellyfishheart finds a rogue who wishes to join the clan. He keeps his old name but adds a suffix, becoming Whispermoon.
- Toadfreckle steps out of the medicine den and goes to meet the clan. Wavestar can hardly believe it. Carrionplace disease! Survived. Mikhailfish must be so proud.
- Guppysong, Bubblingberry, and Salvageflood protect three apprentices from a vicious dog. Guppysong finds himself among the stars... alone at least. He hopes the clan knows he was brave.

- Wavestar can't seem to process this. She looks to Starclan, begs them to send him home. Begs Crabgrass to lead Brinestripe home, like he was lead home.

Moon 153
- Deliwave becomes the deputy. He's... fine. Weak leg. Wavestar and him don't... it's not like they don't get along, but they don't know eachother well.

I Scream. Brinestripe you can't give me heart attacks like that



Wavestar is 160 moons ftr. Clamheart and her have had crushes on eachother for ages so I wasn't surprised they became mates but like... same moon as Kelpdrop's death is... a lot. 
And Marinedapple ahhhh. I was trying to get him and Heronclaw to fight, was not expecting a fox death. I liked him. 

And no Deliwave didn't do anything wrong but like... I can't have a Delistar. And if I switched the name it'd be Wavestar 2. No.
