Idk if it's naive but I'm really hoping with the latest thing the fires can start dying down.

Anyway, how can we spin this into lore?

Lessee, after the betrayal arc, and the silence arc, and the rebirth arc, I guess this is the "bird goddess moves on" arc? Really need to know if there's gonna be yet another response after this.

I wish the old dragoon can come back to write new lore for /HAHA/. I wish /HAHA/ would migrate from the sinking black continent to indie-lands.

[Anonymous No.]

>>69070729
Where are all the old niji writers anyway? It would’ve been interesting to get their perspectives and read the potential new lore on this.

[Anonymous No.]

I went to bed before thread archived. I want to say I think Saplings can benefit from having earthy browns and greens for clothes as camoflauge. But enough about dyes. I think we have enough for sapling clothes.

The new dragoons are being drawn kinda like chocobos, maybe they'd like somewhere warm.

What’s your nation’s lore on love? Do you have a Valentine’s Day esque holiday? What are courting rituals and marriage ceremonies like?

Yeah, something like that. Also gotta think about the Niko lore, a minor outer god.

Whoops, looks like I forgot to push the last set of changes to the site. /pink/'s new territory and the higher-contrast biome map should be up now.
Come check it out: https://vtwbg.github.io/
And have a happy Valentine's Day!
Also, for anyone curious, it looks like the (0,0) point on our map is located in /vnug/, so I guess that's Viti's Greenwich.

I just want /uuu/ Industrial Revolution, it fits how fauna plays Minecraft and other games. She always tries to build factories and the such, just make the trees make plastic and create metal out of fruit. It's not like the forest is fantastical ain't it?

This week has been draining but here’s some ideas I have in case anyone’s interested
>/vnug/ slime (name pending) is a species of mycorrhizal (symbiotic with plants) fungus endemic to the cloud forest of /vnug/
>the slime forms a vast mycorrhizal network with the forest at topsoil and subsoil level (“wood wide web”)
>the slime network serves as the foundation of the forest ecosystem
>it accelerates decomposition of organic matter since the waterlogged and acidic soil makes it an otherwise slow process
>it also retains moisture (relatively unimportant since the cloud forest is always wet due to the climate and /uuu/ magic spillover) and helps absorb minerals and magical elements through chelation
>but its most significant function is transporting nutrients and information between the plants
>its existence makes the cloud forest (even) more overgrown and lusher since the network distributes nutrients to the plants better to maximize growth
>the slime congregates deep in the substratum/bedrock into blobs of slime that serves as local nodes of nutrient storage
>/vnug/ farmers would dig up these slime blobs and bury them in future farmland alongside intersecting crops and trees
>the slime will rebuild the network between them which results in better yield and resistance against nutrient depletion and pathogen
>it might also be used underground since the slime might be able to use magic as a source of energy to power the ecosystem (pending)
>a cult has formed around the slime where they try to join the network, with varying degrees of success
>it is rumored that some of these blobs of slime are actually sentient as manifestations of the “will of the forest”

[Anonymous No.]

>>69104183
Food would be better. But that's more /ag/.

[Anonymous No.]

>i dont even know where to begin
Magic, of course!

[Anonymous No.]

>>69107454
Root networks are not a myth. Networks of tree roots and fungi are very common in northern hemisphere forests. I do like the slime twist to it. Imagine if the slime is a semi-sentient species.

[Anonymous No.]

>>69107454

What dies the slime actually look like? color and such? Is it dangerous at all or does it only decompose dead stuff?

[Anonymous No.]

>>69108102
>>69108136
>>69109296
Truth be told I’m still ruminating on how sentient the slime should be. It’s meant to be a Zeli reference (though inspired by that one comment about raiding deluxe slime a few threads ago) so at least some of the slime should be sentient, but at the same time I don’t really know what to do with them if they’re actually sentient especially since the biology’s so different from humans
I imagine the slime blobs are blue-ish because of how Zeli looks. Maybe the color comes from all the metal they’ve absorbed from the soil? I read that that plant with nickel sap has blue sap due to all the nickel. Size-wise it varies a lot depending on the state of the mycorrhizal network but personally I imagine an average blob to be like a gallon or two big so just barely small enough to be carried like a fat cat! It’s probably solid enough to be carried without breaking apart but you can probably still break them if you try
I don’t intend them to be dangerous so they won’t melt you but falling unconscious in them might not be a good idea. Alternatively I might make them fully benevolent and have the slime accelerate healing and helping against infections if you’re buried in them and the slime accepts you, but given how mycorrhiza works I feel the process would also change you permanently

[Anonymous No.]

>>69109669
A symbiotic transformation? Where have I seen this...
Slimification sounds fun! I didn't know Zeli had a slime thing going on, I'll have to investigate, I like slime girls.

That’s her lore but I don’t know how much she leans into it because I don’t watch her as I feel her target audience’s like 2 age groups younger than me

>>69111082
Well we do have to ask if your slimes can percieve communications. By that I don't mean words. I mean slimes having the ability to recognize an animal's intent based on its body language and sounds. It can be as simple as recognizing scary noise bad.

[Anonymous No.]

>>69112759
is Meeta really loli though?

[Anonymous No.]

>>69114782
I say so. Either way she milks me of my cum every stream.

[Anonymous No.]

>>69114484
They’re ultimately mycorrhizal fungus so I’m leaning towards no, but if we go with the symbiotic slime people idea then maybe they exist because the slime needs some way to communicate with animals

[Anonymous No.]

>>69115206
There's probably something that can be done to communicate using psychoactive compounds, fungi are pretty good at those.

[Anonymous No.]

>>69115583
I don’t consider that communication since it’s a one-way street

>>69116598
If it's just the slime releasing stuff, yeah. But mushrooms can have pheromone receptors ( G-protein-coupled receptors, GPCRs) as well. I think some parasitic mushrooms use them in particular. So it'd be a fully only smells-based communication.

[Anonymous No.]

>>69117352
It could work but I feel it’s going to take a decently long time for the slime to feel it. I like the idea of the forest being able to taste someone’s fear though so I might make it an urban (forest?) legend instead

[Anonymous No.]

Covolo Anon here
What sounds better for Kronii's nation, Chrono Conclave or Chronometric Conclave?
Also, do you believe excessive tardiness would be punished as a felony? I see this country as one obsessed with punctuality to the point of as much precision as possible.

[Anonymous No.]

>>69118373
that would be fun!
>>69118831
the first one flows better, the second one sounds more autistic, they both work for different reasons.
That would be a way to go about it, with everyone walking around with pocket watches kek.

[Anonymous No.]

>>69119601
Everyone's on time to meetings, the trains and buses are always on time, and clocks are legally mandated to be set correctly.

[Anonymous No.]

>>69119601
Alright then, I'll stick with the first one
I see Kronii as a person who, given her demeanor and the fact she's the literal warden of time, would be very insistent on everything running as smoothly as possible. Someone who can't keep to a schedule would be looked on akin to a social taboo, whereas a company that is routinely late with public transportation for instance would be heavily fined.

>>69120341
More or less the angle I'm going for

I don't think you can build an engine with wood and fibre tho...

[Anonymous No.]

>>69120760
I mean... Probably not a very good one. Could probably make some kind of steam engine with wood protected with clay in the parts that get exposed to fire.

what era/time period is Viti set in? are there guns?

[Anonymous No.]

I thought about going Monster Hunter logic and have the riding birds in /HAHA/ be wyverns. Specifically bird wyverns. But wyverns are a specific kind of animal that have a few key characteristics. They are in fantasy a venomous animals with poison tail stingers and loud defening roars. Though bird wyverns aren't real wyverns in Monster Hunter. Most bird wyverns are velociraptors.
