Day Two:

Parinux once again found himself in line. This line was moving a little slower. It gave him time to watch the (relative) orderliness of it all. The Shifting Expanse's barrenness could, at a glance, be compared to the flat floes of the Icefields. Yet, the Expanses had chosen to fill this barrenness with its own form of order. Nothing in nature could replicate the sharp, clinical edges and flat, smooth surfaces that abounded here.

Shuffling along, deep in thought, he almost walked into the table. Blinking, Parinux caught himself and redirected his attention. The cheerful fae listed off several questions, and Parinux struggled to keep up.

"Parinux...Plant-only diet...None, although, my fur is easily caught in machinery. Would that be an issue?"
"Not an issue at all!"
"Alright then. Um, where was I?"
"High gravity conditions."
"High gravity conditions...?" Parinux thought to himself. "I can handle it," he stated.
"Sure thing, now, fight, flight or freeze?"
"Fight," and before the fae could react to that, he quickly added, "and my emergency contacts are Rujlarth and Zerethorn in the Gladeveins."
Unfazed, the fae piped, "You're all set!" Handing Parinux an ID badge, he motioned over to the hard-hat box.

Peering in, there appeared to be a motley of hard-hats. Some had hastily taped-on additions, others were quite fancifully decorated. Feathers, glitter, and other detritus dusted over everything. Spotting some leaves, Parinux grabbed out a hat adorned with antlers on either side, foraged branches glued haphazardly around its rim. There were even holes for his horns. It wasn't a substitute to being back in the Gladeveins, surrounded by the evergreen of nature, but it would do.

When she reached the front of the line, the spiral behind the table greeted her with a string of questions. She answered them thoughtfully, most of them fairly routine, although the last couple did concern her a bit. Much to her dismay, she was asked to decorate her hard hat, but she was thankful at least that the one the spiral handed her was a soft yellow, as yellow was her favorite color. She clumsily applied a few flowers and vines to the hat as the ridgeback watched her, hoping the final product didn’t look [i]too[/i] heinous. When she finished “decorating”, she reluctantly put on the hat, its stiff form pushing down her crests in a rather uncomfortable way, and headed down the staircase. She found that the blue lights in the stairwell comforted her, reminding her of the glowing fungi typical of her home. That brief moment of comfort, however, quickly faded away as the dragons she found at the bottom of the staircase began bickering about her placement. As if things weren’t uncomfortable enough, they turned to her to make the decision of where she would spend her time here. “I think my skills are more suited to science than engineering, so I think maybe I’ll go with the scientist,” she murmured, hoping the engineer wouldn’t be too angry.

It seemed that in his haste he'd ended up with one sized for a fully-grown Guardian. The Fae's own hardhat had been merrily decorated by a very enthusiastic Zap; she had meticulously poured a small jar of greenish slime on it, flown about his head as she emptied a basket of blue petals, then finished the whole thing off with at least half a bottle of Cerdae shedding. All in all, when the Ridgeback ushered them into the dark, Ixion thought that one tool he should probably bring with him in the future is a mirror--until he noticed the glowing all around him, and realized it was coming from [i]his head[/i]. Zap zipped around him, the ID she had insisted on wearing in lieu of a heavy oversized hardhat swinging all around as she trilled happily, obviously proud of her work. A brief inspection of his hardhat revealed that the slime glowed brightly in the dark; the petals were so thin that plenty of light came through, yet it turned a modest blue in the process; and the Cerdae shedding added small touches of red to the whole. Ixion put it back on, impressed. "You never mentioned you had an artistic streak." She let out a delighted hum, making a swift two laps around his neck before settling on his shoulder, content. Bolt looked up at the bright, multi-coloured hardhat above him, then back at his own, which was still refusing to stay in place, and hung his head. Before Ixion could so much as reach out a claw, Zap had already quirked her head and flown up into the air again. A mournful trill rang out just in time for Bolt to look up, saving his hardhat from falling off altogether. Zap hovered in place for a few seconds before her abdomen abruptly lit up brighter than normal--usually a tell-tale sign she'd had an idea. She positioned herself right over Bolt's head, then started shaking her body as hard as possible. Just when Ixion started to wonder if he should be concerned, small sparks of red floated down her body--remnants of the Cerdae shedding. They had been drowned out by her own, stronger glow, but when they gradually landed on Bolt's hardhat, they stood out sharply against the material. When Zap finally fluttered back to rest on Ixion's shoulder, exhausted, Bolt gingerly removed the metal from his head--and looked up, eyes sparkling harder than his hardhat. ----- Undeterred by the loud voices coming from below (fuel; a launch; this all sounded very SCIENCE-y, and all good scientists needed to exchange thoughts by means of furious screaming once in a while, after all), the group made their way down the clearly indicated path. Even if there hadn't been bulbs lighting the way, the three of them gave off enough light now that what would've been an intimidating darkness otherwise had turned into a gentle dimness they could've navigated on their own without a problem. Ixion grinned as the first thing he saw upon exiting the stairwell was a Bogsneak, sharply dressed in a lab coat. Unfortunately, his grin faded slightly when a Nocturne turned up (and [i]without[/i] a snazzy lab coat, he noted with disapproval). Another argument started up before he could even introduce himself, this time seemingly about [i]him[/i], about where he should be allocated. The Fae hovered in the air, flapping his wings restlessly. He'd been promised experiments; where did he have to go to get started on the SCIENCE? He'd started to tune out their arguing, but one specific word pulled Ixion out of his thoughts. "Hold your hounds--you want [i]me[/i] to help you carry an [i]engine[/i]?" He paused for a moment so the Nocturne could take a look at his small form. While Ixion had developed some tools to assist himself with these matters (and had admittedly bulked up a bit from flying his reactor around everywhere), he still let Bolt do any heavy lifting. He looked towards the Bogsneak; the choice seemed beyond obvious. [i]Why were they still standing here?[/i] Zap zoomed ahead of him, seemingly thinking the same thing. [i]There was SCIENCE to be done![/i] [s]wow I sure spent a lot of time on those hats :')[/s]

Just when Ixion started to wonder if he should be concerned, small sparks of red floated down her body--remnants of the Cerdae shedding. They had been drowned out by her own, stronger glow, but when they gradually landed on Bolt's hardhat, they stood out sharply against the material. When Zap finally fluttered back to rest on Ixion's shoulder, exhausted, Bolt gingerly removed the metal from his head--and looked up, eyes sparkling harder than his hardhat.


Undeterred by the loud voices coming from below (fuel; a launch; this all sounded very SCIENCE-y, and all good scientists needed to exchange thoughts by means of furious screaming once in a while, after all), the group made their way down the clearly indicated path. Even if there hadn't been bulbs lighting the way, the three of them gave off enough light now that what would've been an intimidating darkness otherwise had turned into a gentle dimness they could've navigated on their own without a problem.

Ixion grinned as the first thing he saw upon exiting the stairwell was a Bogsneak, sharply dressed in a lab coat. Unfortunately, his grin faded slightly when a Nocturne turned up (and without a snazzy lab coat, he noted with disapproval). Another argument started up before he could even introduce himself, this time seemingly about him, about where he should be allocated. The Fae hovered in the air, flapping his wings restlessly. He'd been promised experiments; where did he have to go to get started on the SCIENCE? He'd started to tune out their arguing, but one specific word pulled Ixion out of his thoughts.

"Hold your hounds--you want me to help you carry an engine?" He paused for a moment so the Nocturne could take a look at his small form. While Ixion had developed some tools to assist himself with these matters (and had admittedly bulked up a bit from flying his reactor around everywhere), he still let Bolt do any heavy lifting.

He looked towards the Bogsneak; the choice seemed beyond obvious. Why were they still standing here? Zap zoomed ahead of him, seemingly thinking the same thing. There was SCIENCE to be done!


wow I sure spent a lot of time on those hats :')
~~ Call me Beato!
