Interesting! It s9unds rather amazing, h9nestly. I’ve always 6een amazed that hives can 6e under the water, despite kn9wing a few higher 6l99ded tr9lls. I think it’s p9sitively amazing. Rev9lt? F9rgive me, I d9n’t kn9w t99 much 9f hist9ry that isn’t 6ef9ran, s9 f9rgive me if I am unsure 9f things.

9h? Val is.. g9ing t9 perhaps end up rather tall, s9 I’m w9rried a69ut that. What are y9ur fav9rites? Perhaps I can prepare f9r the future.

Timeline specific. The revolt in question was the initial cullin’ of the Empress. There’s more other thereafter. None these nights…at least, not as much. But yeah, all things taken into account, ti’s pretty grand.

Hah. Like I said, anywhere.

[li6ertas]

9h, Interesting! W9uld there 6e any chance that y9u c9uld tell me m9re? I am always interested in learning hist9ry. 9ther w9rld hist9ry is fascinating t9 me. At least it's quiet in y9ur w9rld n9w.

That concerns me s9 much m9re. The c9uch and cup69ard was already terri6le en9ugh. I d9n't kn9w if I can handle him sleeping 9n t9p 9f the fridge.

[karcharodon]

li6ertas​:

Interesting. I’ve never heard 9f that. I’ve heard that m9st, at least in my w9rld, 6ef9rus, lived 6etween 69th the sea and the land. D9 y9u still m9stly live in the seas? I d9n’t think I’ve g9ne past wading in the water, h9nestly. I kn9w it’s deep, 6ut t9 g9 s9 far d9wn. It must 6e amazing.

It’s.. a struggle, that’s f9r sure. He’s c9nstantly delving under the c9uch t9 hide and lay d9wn. He finds it c9mf9rta6le, I think? It’s rather 9dd. He used t9 sleep in the ca6inents, which.. I’m n9t sure h9w.

Nah. My family name was more common in the seas, along with some other royal hives belongin’ to coldblood seadwellers. The Empress included. I did trainin’ and learnin’ in the palace, though. The palace is a massive dome beneath the seas. It’s large enough to inhabit an entire underwater city that used to primarily hold coldbloods. The lands above were more so for warmbloods before the revolt.

A little weird, but I’m not one to judge. I can sleep pretty much anywhere so long as it’s big enough.

karcharodon​:

Kelps be be fully clothed. But I’ll not get into that much detail.

I was. Thankfully. My lusus was a megalodon. The moment I was hatched from the highblood chambers I was given to him an he took me leagues under the seas to his roost to raise. Most of my upbrinin’ was in water. Can’t say the same for others, though.

Wigglers, huh…never been good with them. All the luck to ya, I guess.

karcharodon​:

Eh, it’s nice. I’d recommend it for everyone. Havin’ gills does have its perks, though. At least you’re warm blooded. Better for cuddlin’, in my humble opinion.

Sounds like ya fit together, somehow. That’s good I suppose.

You as whale, Kankri.

Truly? Perhaps if y9u get used t9 it. It’s rather hard t9 cuddle with c9lder 6l99ds, in my experience, well, at first. It feels as if I stuck my 69dy against a glacier 9f ice in the middle 9f winter. After a 6it th9ugh, I supp9se it’s n9t t99 bad. Were y9u 69rn with the innate a6ility t9 swim immediately, 9r did y9u struggle at first. Ap9l9gies if that is t99 much, y9u d9 n9t have t9 answer, 6ut it’s always 6een s9mething I’ve 6een curi9us a69ut.

It’s definitely interesting, 6ut it’s nice. We fit well t9gether after everything, and it l99ks like 9ur kid might take up m9re fr9m him than he d9es fr9m me, unf9rtunately.

[li6ertas]

karcharodon​:

Almost, but naut quite. It was in jest, anywaves.

A…Strider an a Vantas? Sounds like a bad time. Tell me more. I’m Barron. Barron Ampora, if it matters.

I have always 6een envi9us 9f Amp9ras 6eing a6le t9 swim s9 well. It c9mes with the territ9ry 9f 6eing a6le t9 6reathe water, I supp9se. I never quite learned the art 9f Swimming. 9h, it’s definitely a strange time. He’s c9nstantly d9ing w9rk and I s9metimes have t9 pull him 9ut 9f w9rk if he’s g9ing f9r t99 l9ng. S9metimes he g9es 9n tirades a69ut strange things. But it’s nice t9 learn. And it’s nice t9 meet y9u, Barr9n.

[karcharodon]

@li6ertas replied to your post: Either I’m just not havin’ luck searchin’ for…

F9r the m9st part, it seems Amp9ras and Capt9rs are everywhere lately.

Superior ends a the spectrum, I guess.

[li6ertas]

An interesting way t9 l99k at it, even if they’re n9t at the end 9f the end end 9f the spectrum. Kankri Strider-Vantas. I d9n’t remem6er if we’ve sp9ken 6ef9re.

[li6ertas]

I have n9t p9sted an image in s9 l9ng, 6ut this 9ne is t9 welc9me the new mem6er 9f the family: Val! He has pupated 9ut 9f his gru6 f9rm and it has 6een a while since then, 6ut I th9ught it was a g99d time t9 sh9w him 9ff.

Als9, Dirk is sh9wing em9ti9n, and it's a rare 9ccassi9n.

[li6ertas]

Aha, why, thank y9u! He's a sweetheart wh9 has such energy. I was a little afraid t9 sh9w him 9ff since his c9l9r is.. a mutati9n, 6ut I'm n9t ashamed 9f him. He's ad9ra6le and I want the w9rld t9 see just h9w pr9ud I am 9f my little fighter.

[chaptalizinggirasol]

IT’S SUCH A PRETTY SHADE OF PINK, TOO. YOU SHOULD FUCKIN BE PROUD, HE’S FUCKIN PRECIOUS. HOW’S HIS HEALTH? IF HE’S GOT THE MUTATION, I KNOW SHIT CAN BE WORRISOME.. DID ALL GO WELL AT FIRST? I’M GLAD HE’S DOIN GOOD, THOUGH.

[li6ertas]

At first it was rather w9rris9me. TW f9r pregnancy, child death and the dangers 9f the mutati9n. I had a clutch 9f five, tw9 survived t9 start t9 hatch 9ut 9f the egg, 6ut they were.. weak. 9nly 9ne survived the trip t9 the mediculler and he was very, very weak. Thankfully, the mediculler was a6le t9 help him and keep him healthy until he was str9ng en9ugh t9 c9me hive.

6ut since that, he has 6een very str9ng and active! The mediculler says he's d9ing well n9w and there hasn't 6een any s9rt 9f pr96lems and I'm thankful f9r that.

Val, f9r the last time, y9u are n9t all9wed t9 sleep in cup69ards anym9re, y9u’re t99 6ig..

[li6ertas]

An update. Val has g9ne int9 pupati9n and f9r the first week, we were rather w9rried, as any g99d parents w9uld 6e. We've given them all we can and just h9pe he'll 6e 9kay. I kn9w he will. I'm excited t9 see him c9me 9ut.

I've 6eem reading them st9ries and Dirk has 6een speaking Spanish t9 them as well. It's 6een.. nice.

So it’s that time already. I’ll read what I can on the pupation process. We need to stay on top of this. Double their meals. I’d imagine this’ll be strenuous on their body. I need you to tell me everything you know.

Alright, c9me sit with me as I give them their meal.
