The Journey So Far

The Encounter 4

After an extensive amount of running and climbing, I found myself safe up in the trees as the roads echoed down below. Finally, some peace, cause now a new question pops up...I just randomly vanished out of Nowhere, but now I’m normal again?? Though this is all interrupted when I heard laughing of some sort, everywhere around me...

???: Up here! What kind of bird are you supposed to be?

Tanzanite: what...who’s there??

???: Depends on how I feel at the moment. Maybe I’m a sick flying beast, maybe I’m one radical dude! You could always come up and see

So of course I had to go. Curiosity and fear were eating me up from the inside. A few branches later, and I’m face to face with a green gal that seemed...familiar...

Tanzanite: ...what? Do I look like a bird to you??

???: Of course not, I just wanted to know what you thought. Hmmm...Oh! Maybe if I ask nicely, we can keep you as a pet! I know a lot of cool tricks-

Tanzanite: What are you talking about?? I-I’m no Pet!

???: Not yet you’re not, Jeez! Get with the program...Where’re ya from anyways? You don’t look like the others...you’re too bright

Tanzanite: ...well, from what I know, Gems can come in many shapes and sizes

???: Ohh, you’re a Gem too! I didn’t know they could be so Bright!...well, I guess Amber is, kinda...? Dunno really, though she is pretty! Now then, you still need to tell me where you came from...Oh! And you’re lucky I found you before T-Rexy Messy chomped you to bits!

Tanzanite: I’m from Africa-...isn’t “T-Rexy Messy” a large, red beefcake of rage with a mighty roar?

???: You already got chased by her? That must’ve been hilarious!! How did you get away??

Tanzanite: ...I don’t think so, I should get going...

???: Aww! Don’t leave!! I gotta show you to Amber!!! I promise I’ll play nice...I’m Dinosaur Bone, but the others call me Ptery! I think...

Tanzanite: Wait...you wouldn’t happen to know a blue triceratops, would you?? And Who’s AMBER???-

It was then that I realized the branch I was sitting on was cracking. Guess I stayed on for too long as I wasn’t fast enough to escape, soon falling into the jungle below...

I’ve been curious about something from the moment I learned about the main four characters. Does Ptery have a name for their non-binary gender, or do they prefer not to label themself?

There’s a word for it in the Harpy language, but the best translation of it is “in between” and Ptery doesn’t like that. Banshees have no sexual dimorphism and no gender culture. They’re a young species, which means that “male” and “female” mean little to them. There’s no history of gender roles, and when other banshees and harpies can tell what sex you are from the particular pheromones you give off, your gender doesn’t really matter anyway.In the end, about 40% choose to present as male, 40% choose to present as female, and 20% don’t feel the connection to either binary gender and so they remain “in between.” Generally this decision is made in their teens… Not by societal pressure, but as a natural progression toward adulthood. Part of Ptery’s arc will involve their gender, and how they neither felt connected to maleness nor femaleness. They don’t consider “in between” to adequately describe them, so they don’t use the word for it.Essentially, they’re quite happy, but they’re not beyond waiting for a connection. ;D

Just finished listening to the Nashville live show and, spoiler alert...

I have a great need for art of Terry, my new favorite NPC, holding that fucking $15 bill and winking at the camera. I have a hunger, a need, a desire. I love Terry (Ptery?) v much, he is AMAZING. (and reminds me of a nearly identical npc I’ve created in my world)
