Clay Terran Week 2021: Day 1 - GYAXA

Maybe the best move isn't printing out your slow-burn 52k "My Parents Sold Me to the Gavinners" fanfiction to torture your roommate with on the work printer on your first week at the new job?

Clay Terran Week Day 1: Gyaxa

Yep, I'll give it a try.

Unfortunately, I don't know if I'll make it through all the days, but I'll do my best to contribute a little to this wonderful character that has been with me for a while now.

Day 1 takes place shortly after Clay has applied for the HAT-2 mission/ or after his required tests.

Hope you enjoy my contributions :)

Clay Terran Week Starts October 11th!

Reminder that Clay Week starts next week!

The start date was chosen to coincide with the launch of Apollo 7 in 1968, the first crewed flight in NASA's Apollo Space program

“'It was the longest, it was the most ambitious, and most successful first test flight of any new flying machine, ever,'” said Apollo 7 Lunar Module Pilot Walt Cunningham."(https://www.nasa.gov/feature/nasa-celebrates-the-50th-anniversary-of-apollo-7)

The Guidelines and Prompts for Clay Week can be found here with descriptions (and ID).

Turnabout for the Stars ✨

[ID: A digital illustration featuring Clay Terran from ace attorney in the forefront. He has his hand on his chin, his eyes are closed and he has a confident expression. To the right is a night sky with a couple of largely drawn stars. To the left are three characters. The first is the back of Aura Blackquill. Next to her is a girl in a lab coat with blue hair and yellow protective googles. Her hair is done up in a headband with two orbs. She appears to be angrily shouting to those beside her. The last character is a man with long green hair done up in a ponytail. He is wearing a scarf and headphones, and has a scar across his face. He smugly looks and points infront of him. End ID]

Clay Terran Week #1 - GYAXA

Everyone knows the best way to be a space kid is to infect other kids with the space bug. What better way to do that than be a space camp counselor?

(Based on a silly idea between @zahai and me that Clay is a camp counselor and Simon has to babysit Clay)

Clay Terran Is Fine

– A story about Clay Terran’s second day at the space center –

Clay Terran is fine … and not anxious at his first visit to the space center all on his own, not together with class. You would know, right? No one else could argue against that, even if you were shaking all over your body and having goosebumps at the thought of meeting Starbuck again, the young astronaut at the center aspiring to go into space soon.

Meeting him some years ago on that class trip had been mesmerizing, the way he talked about space and space travel so casually and the things you need to learn in order to be launched into space yourself. Never having known that absolutely anyone could become an astronaut if they tried hard and had some luck a whole world opened up and a distant dream suddenly became an actual life goal.

Now you were here all alone – well, almost alone, aside from a certain friend holding your sweaty hand, trying to convince you not to bail, to walk through the door instead. And before mustering up courage to walk up to the ticket counter and get a permit into the world of space once more, the doors flung open and an elderly man, white beard, captain hat, marine blue jacket darted out on his electric scooter.

He came to a stop in front of you and swung an arm into the air, making a dramatic gesture.

“A glorious day to you, children! My name is the Great Yuri Cosmos, director at the center of the Cosmos Center, named after no one else but me!”

Creating eye contact, he was silent for a moment before exclaiming:

“Never before have I met someone as starry-eyed as you! I can tell you are determined to explore everything space has to offer. For now, take these two free tickets so you can begin your journey today!”

The word “thanks” stuck in your throat, the director continued, now looking into the distance: “No need to thank me. Galactic Scooter, full speed ahead!”

Never before had you been beaming as much as in that moment. Now shaking from excitement you finally start moving which quickly becomes running, towards the electronic doors that open just in time.

Where to go first? Of course to the newly opened space museum covering the upcoming mission that was supposed to send Starbuck into space in the coming weeks.

Up the space (center) elevator, and into the space lounge. Last time, you had stared for what seemed like an hour just at the holograms at the walls that replace windows here, marveling at the display of outer space with stars and distant planets, hands on the glass, sad that you couldn’t just step through and feel the gravels and rocks below your feet, the absence of strong gravity that keeps you grounded on Earth and pass by stars few had ever seen so clearly.

But now the holograms showed a weird landscape that seemed to be straight of a fairy tale book, with some odd creature swirling around. You were too embarrassed to show an interest in such a clearly childish thing to even take a closer look. After all, this is a space center, and you were here for the real thing. You left the picture books with stories of dragons at home, and wanted to show how much you were ready to be taken onboard a rocket.

Proudly marching through the door into the actual space museum, nose in the air, taking in the different sights, and above all, the rocket, you do not realize where you are going and bumped into someone. A young man with red ruffled hair covered by a peaked cap, carrying a forceful smile and watching you with friendly eyes. It’s Starbuck!

You first hang your head in shame, but he doesn’t wait a moment to speak up:

“Hey, … it’s alright! And I think I remember you from a school class visit here years ago. You bombarded me with question like no one else has ever done!”

He puts a hand on your shoulder, and you look up to see him grinning from ear to ear, which felt weirdly encouraging, enough to make your heart race. Everyone around you could see your face lighting up. It was a wonderful sight.

“And now you’re all grown up, and came here on your own, with a friend?”

Simply nodding in return, you clench your teeth, trying not to smile too widely or starting to barrage him with questions anew.

“Well, I’m happy to see you’re still as enthusiastic about space as ever! Today shall be your lucky day, have my cap as a gift to remember it!”

He puts it on your head, leaving you bedazzled at what is happening.

“And now, follow me outside to the spaceport. We’ve got a photo to shoot there. I’ll call Yuri Cosmos and the ladies from the robotics lab as well.”

And here they are! The themes for each day of Clay Terran Week! We are BLASTING OFF BABES!! Delusion week is a GO!

Day 1 - GYAXA (Oct 11)

Starting off with putting our space boy into SPACE. This can be his first day at GYAXA, his first mission, interacting with his coworkers, etc.

Day 2 - Movie (Oct 12)

There are many sci-fi movies and many space movies this man would love (GATTACA and Alien included) so you can write/draw him going to see them OR put him into it.

Day 3 - Free Day / AU (Oct 13)

If there is any situation you've wanted to put Clay Terran into, this is the time to do it.

Day 4 - Youth (Oct 14)

This day is for looking at his childhood, his and Apollo's time together, his time in high school/college, any time like that.

Day 5 - Ship (Oct 15)

Claypollo, Claypollier, Clayvier, etc. Go nuts, go wild (within limits).

Day 6 - Meme (Oct 16)

Clay Terran is a little shit, we all know this. He has the tacky shirts, he says the vine quotes, he sings the meme songs, he does it all. Let us see the specifics.

Day 7 - Future (Oct 17)

As Clay Terran is alive but Capcom isn't utilizing him, what do you think he'll be doing in the future? You can do a redesign, talk about his fifth space mission, etc.

~~~

As of right now we got no more info (this isn't super formal) but occasionally I'll put out reminders and more edits because I like making them and I already have some designs workshopped.
