((The caps of the tall mushrooms slightly sway when jostled by local fauna. The air lays stagnant as the vaporized swamp water lingers suspended. Animals continue their chitters and mating calls, seeming absolutely unbothered by the oppressive heat. The shade provided by the giant mushrooms don't give any reprieve, as the heat has seeped into the air itself.)) A black tsabhua rears on his hind legs, reaching up towards the cap of a young, thin fruiting body. The cap of the still growin...

((Tall grass rustles in the distance as a nimble jaebo stalks for its next meal. A small scaled head peeks above the golden blades, turning left and right, scanning the surroundings. The jaebo's nostrils widen and contract as it takes small and quick breaths, smelling the atmosphere. Thin, tall ears twitch and pan, trying to pick up any sound of prey nearby. Just as its guard is lowered, a projectile whirs past its head, barely nicking its ear. A small and sharp yelp escapes its mouth as pain...

Zuri covers their nostrils and baps desperately at Ycthuthrheth's drone, begging for its attention. Having noticed the disturbance, Ycthuthreth turns the drone's camera around, searching for a cause. Upon noticing Zuri, a voice emanates from its speakers, "Is something wrong?" It notices the paw covering their nostrils. "Did you get something stuck in your nose?" Zuri shakes their head no. They use their paws to make a wafting motion to their face, then cross them in an 'X' as t...

Ycthuthrheth's drone whirs across the base frantically, its surprisingly dexterous hands in a frenzy, trying to accomplish an overwhelming number of tasks alone. Distracted by the overwhelming duties on hand, it doesn't realize the microphone is still on. "If only I could handle this planet's atmosphere, I could use all my hands. Gotta add more hands to this drone sometime…" buzzes through the drone's speakers. Hearing Ycthuthrheth's muttering, Citria, Xochcatl, and Tezcatlipoca appr...

Cattleya knocks desperately at the entrance of Citria's sleeping chambers. "It came back! It came back! The garden is…" Xochcatl emerges from her chamber half asleep and with a scowl on her face from her peaceful dreams being cut short. She turns to Cattleya and scolds in a whisper, "Do you know what time it is? You are being loud and waking people up." "S-sorry," Cattleya says, starting at full volume, then catching herself and quieting her voice to a whisper. A groggy...

Cattleya clutches her head and barely manages to speak coherently through frantic panting. "haahaahaa Ihh'm dyhing." Her legs wobble with each step, threatening to collapse. Before she topples over, Citria runs to her side and gently nudges Cattleya to lean on her. "Lean on me. I'm taking you to the shade." "Okay. Urgh." Cattleya begins to gag. "Did you get sick?" asks Xochcatl as she puts her hand to Cattleya's forehead. She then pulls away her hand with a concerned look...

Citria, Tezcatlipoca, and Corazon chatter away in the base's mess hall, relaxing on their day of rest. The topics drifting to the whims of Tezcatlipoca's mind and Corazon's verbose explanations, with Citria playing a more observational role, every so often asking questions the others have yet to ponder. Ycthuthrheth barges in, and the drone's camera lens focuses in on the three conversing. "Citria! Tez! Corazon! I need your help." Citria faces the drone, making eye contact with ...

Citria, Tezcatlipoca, and Bloe stare into the chasm before them. ((The glistening rays of the afternoon sun peeking through the canopy of giant mushrooms shine upon the open maw of the dark cave. An inviting, open mouth that won't let anything it takes escape, including light. The sound of cool droplets dripping within reverberate and ricochet off the cold stone walls, becoming loud enough to compete with the rustling of mushroom caps rubbing against each other in the wind and the chitter of ...

Contemplating on whether or not the colony should change regions, Ycthuthrheth is going with colonists around on field trips throughout B'av. The first stop: Rekes. Tezcatlipoca, Bloe, Citria, and Xochcatl were woefully unprepared and overly accustomed to the warm, humid climate of their home, L'Hatzif. Ycthuthrheth was not in the same situation as them, but only because it is a drone being piloted remotely. The four warm-blooded entities huddled together in a cave, holding on to all t...

Xochcatl, Ivy, and Katherine surround a large submerged skeleton, documenting the information they can about it, while Citria, Whisp, Bloe, and Ycthuthrheth watch the whelps from a distance. When Ycthuthrheth told the adults about the whelps' plans, they decided to secretly tail the whelps, making sure that they are safe. And so ...

The soft consistent hum of fluorescent lights is drowned out by the muffled cacophony of bustling life outside the walls. Gently swaying mushrooms dance in the window's view. Rays of sunlight offer warmth inside the harshly air conditioned room, while the air conditioned room offers reprieve from the swamp's oppressive heat.)) Ycthuthrheth claps its hands together.

Day 1: Citria, Tezcatlipoca, and Bloe approached me to let me know that they are going away for a while. Something about a personal challenge. They departed early in the morning. I'd imagine they don't want any help, but Tara a bit concerned. The drone I use is a DPIP drone that I've modified, so if I hide those modifications, I should be able to keep track of them without them knowing it's me. For Tara's piece of mind. My departure was a bit delayed, but they did not do ...

Katherine looks around for adults, then lowers her head and responds in a whisper, "What is it?" "I heard our researcher saying something about old bones found in the swamp." Ivy does a quick scan of her surroundings as well. Once she believes there are no adults nearby, she whisp...

The adults doing this in hopes of feeling a bit better after eating that biological war crime Ycthuthrheth calls "food."
