I imagine it's a much broader reference than that.
Good to know regarding the light, thanks.
They'll turn your world around"Who do you know who's named Joseph?"
"Keep your hand raised if you remember Joseph being a lizard."
"Keep your hand raised if you remember Joseph using these moonstones to turn himself human."
"Keep your hand raised if you remember Joseph forgetting us after turning human."
"Keep your hand raised if you remember thinking Joseph was acting weird besides the amnesia."
In the interest of efficient posting, should Morpho's list of queries be all in one post?
@Masterofchaos: By the way, every time a Mayatan has spoken with awareness that Maya should have been in earshot (if Maya had functioning ears), their telepathy has automatically put the words into her head in a format other than audio. It's one of those automatic quirks of Mayatan telepathy that contributes to Mequoql's claim of struggling with Power Incontinence. Even Nyorla, whose telepathic range doesn't cover the Transporter Room from her current position on the planet's surface, is capable of indirectly getting the info to Maya via mechanical assistance from the communication microchips and piggybacking off of Arnaya's telepathic range. What would make more sense — that automatic feature failing to activate because Nyorla hasn't been introduced to Maya yet, or Aynara's awareness of Maya's presence initiating a brainstorm with Nyorla to activate that automatic feature?

If not for this anchor I'd be dancing between the stars. At least I can try to write better vampire stories than Twilight.Makes sense to me.
They'll turn your world aroundOh, that's what it was. Never mind then.
By the way, you keep reversing the q and the o in Sarquoql's name. It's weird, I haven't noticed you making the same mistake with Mequoql when she was interacting with the Not-Chaos-Hunters.

By the way, Mroh, I'm curious — is English your native language or not?

Spiral out, keep going.
In that case... hmmm... how about it looks like an oversized wrist watch but with a sphere or hemisphere instead of a disk, with too many weirdly-shaped hands, and nonsensical inscriptions instead of numbers? I don't know where that idea popped into my head from, but the more I think about it the more I'm convinced that I'm probably not being original...

Got some school work I need to get on top of anyway. Safe bet is busy 'til Tuesday. More likely I get bored before then.
They'll turn your world aroundSpent most of the day on Dreams doing a sculpt of Oswald
. I know he's not in Adventure, he was just the first one I tried to tackle. Neither complete nor perfect, but I'm still learning and I thought it was good enough to share. Gonna try David and a few others when I get the time.
I dunno about my regular human characters though. Not sure if I'd ever be happy enough with them to share. Too uncanny and all that.
I'm joking, though I do wonder how others are gonna react to Sarquoql now.

I thought you were already using shapeshifting vocal cords... oh I think I see what you're getting at — shapeshifting and un-shifting a second set of vocal cords at will? Yeah, go ahead, I'm pretty sure I wasn't the first one to come up with that anatomy idea. I've got two different versions of that idea — the Mayatans have their double sets of vocal cords in a single voicebox so the tones stay somewhat similar to each other, while the dragons, dragonhorses and Viporises have multiple voiceboxes for extreme, multi-octave tonal differences.

Yeah, that line was a joke on my part but I still figure it makes sense for this kind of setting. Especially now that they've got their own vaguely eldritch abomination-esque entity to keep all the other weirdness in town from getting too dangerous.
Having a busy work week, but I'm working on a post. Nice to see that apocalemur is feeling better again.
Still a great "screw depression" song even after seven years.
I'm not seeing what you're seeing, so I've got a Confused Question Mark above my head.
@Ryuhza: Both our characters got the idea to disarm each other at the same time....
...so is it okay if I follow up the attempts with both gems flying through the air and swapping owners?

(checks to see what that looks like) Eew, that's unfortunate! I guess I got lucky then — all that happened to me was I had to turn forum "gingerbread" off again.
@Millership: Are you still thinking about Iolana? Because I just finished drafting a moufreta distraction for the horses and I'm wondering whether or not to post it.
Does anybody want to take control of the moufreta after I introduce them, or shall I continue the work of painting a picture of the collective juveniles in the world as a Goldfish Poop Gang?

I had imagined that the gem would just be transported from Mequoql's had to Joseph's in an instant, like with the gems she had recalled earlier— the ones that Henry had accidentally sent away. But if you'd like to do an aerial crisscross, I s'pose I can work with that.
They'll turn your world aroundIs Lerna still having nightmares? Varla's seduction-snare spells are set to start siphoning energy from Lerna as soon as Lerna is aware that Varla is touching her, and Varla is about to do something that'll make all the energy she's currently conducting visible.

@Ryuhza: Is that a Dear Evan Hanson reference, you nerd?
Anyway, unless you're like screaming or you step in some leaves or something like that, the gems are mostly silent. The real way to get someone's attention with them is if they see a bright flash of light. In the daytime it'll be harder to tell (unless it's close) but at night...yeah.
Edit: LOL pagetopper.
