do y'all have a fav song from the old ones?
you BETTER appreciate this because i am about to run around the base passing the focus along to everyone !!!
Aloy - Oh. Um. I don’t exactly listen to their music a lot, I generally prefer what we have today. Although, GAIA gave me this playlist once called “Phonk”, and I guess it was ok, so I guess that? Sorry, that’s not really a song..
Erend - HEAVY METAL BANDS, I THINK METALLICA OR SLIPKNOT IS MY FAVOURITE. I ENJOY MASTER OF PUPPETS A LOT, THOUGH. ITS EIGHT MINUTES LONG, SO I GET TO ENJOY IT FOR AGES.
(ooc: i know nothing about heavy metal bands all i have is a friend with a metallica bag whom we call emo all the time)
Varl - i actually quite enjoy the pop genre! i think there was a heavy split between the old ones between people who did and didn’t, but i think they sound cool and upbeat. my favourite has to be this one song called shake it off by this girl called taylor swift!!! i don’t know if she’s still relevant with you guys but i enjoy a lot of her music :) also i listen to classical sometimes from zo!!!
Zo - Generally I listen to calmer music, classical like Varl said. I enjoy Beethoven, but I also switch over to more 80s, 90s, 2000s, and 2020s music sometimes because of Varl. I like Adele - my favourite from her has to be Chasing Pavements, or Easy On Me :) Alva got me into The Lumineers too.
Kotallo - i don’t have a lot of time to listen to music. all i know is mr. sandman. bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam bam oh mr sandman. that one. i think it’s old so i don’t know if you all still know it.
Alva - MY TURN!!!!! i enjoy this one band called the lumineers a LOT. my favourite is ophelia because it reminds me of federa and sometimes it makes me cry. also!! taylor swift!! she was 2000s to 2020s i think so like varl said i’m not sure if you all know her.. but i heard her fans called themselves “swifties” so that’s pretty cool!! me and varl listen to music together a lot we share similar tastes :3 i like the pop genre too!!
Beta - i really enjoy the crane wives i really like the moon will sing or the well also there was this song called lovely and i think billie something was her name and all i can do is see myself in the lyrics so it makes me cry but it also makes me feel really comforted also alva showed me this song called rises the moon and it makes me really calm
Sylens - Classical.
GAIA - My likes are what Elisabet liked. Sometimes, when she was feeling a bit happier, she’d listen to 70s, 80s, 90s, but when she needed to focus or needed something calmer in a solemn mood, she’d put on some classical or generally calm music. I believe her favourite was “Keep On Movin’” by a band called Five. Although, I do enjoy the songs everyone plays around the base, too.
sorry guys sylens was grumpy… it took me like 5 minutes of pestering him to get him to write ONE word!!!!
now i am going to look at some data. sitting down. i’ve been running around the base i need a break.

aloy in the slack channel: everyone should be added now and assignments have been sent for the month so refresh your inboxes and ask gaia if you have any issues
erend: Go team!!
talanah: @everyone anyone want to hunt an apex stormbird with me, meet me by the west exist in 5min, bring your own arrows
varl: aloy when are you updating your icons, yours and talanahs are still the default so i keep getting you both confused
avad: Hello Am I Using This Correctly? How Is The Weather Out West?
anonymous: If you continue to fill this message board with prattle, I shall install a virus into the network that restricts you all to five messages per day before all your focuses will crash. Consider yourselves appropriately warned and do not touch the lab door for the next twelve hours, as I have cultures growing and the lab must remain at a certain temperature.
aloy: Sylens I know you know how to use mute so shut up and leave if you don't like it
alva: Hi everyone, and hi Sylens, just to let you know, I don't want to be presumptuous or anything but the plural of "focuses" is actually foci! Quen scholars have debated this rigorously, and colloquially the Old Ones said focuses all the time, but grammatically I just thought you might want to know the more accurate word!
alva: ALSO I'm so glad we can chat here now, I'll upload you all some files here so we can learn and use some terms that the Ancestors used! TTYS!!! (talk to you soon)
beta: Aloy keeps forgetting to respond to my request for admin access formally so I've hacked her account and am assigning myself a fellow moderator of this chat just to tell everyone this is for WORK ONLY. I'll make several separate threads for any other idle chat or interests, but please keep it on topic here.
kotallo: Hello, everyone. Apologies for the message, I'd just like to test that this text-to-speech function works. Send. Oh I needn't say "send"? Thank you, GAIA.

Every day I try not to be a hater to people in fandom who completely fall for a characters facade or false perception of themselves. Like girl the narrative device tricked you.

Worldbuilding idea: Magic is a nonphysical substance secreted by a gland that sits at the top of one's throat. When your voice passes through your throat, it saturates it with magic and that's what makes verbal spells.
All people are born with this magic gland, but it atrophies a little after puberty. The current theory is that it's a survival mechanism for infants, who can do little else but cry. A few never loses this gland, and we call them sorcerers and such.
Magic, as with other secretions, is then carried around in the blood, which makes the body of a magical person a brush to paint spells onto the world. These somatic spells take the form of signing, dancing, acrobatics, ect.
The presence of magic in blood also led to children sacrifices in history. And of course blood magic. Which might involves children sacrifices.
Due to the location of the gland and its exposure to the airway, the simple act of breathing creates a magical field. In high population densities, this is enough to support spells made by a non-magical person.
(feel free to use this in your works!)

hey gang! if u were living during the old ones time, what kind of job do u think u would have? or what you would want to do?
huh. you guys LOVE making me run around the base… ok, round two!!!
Aloy - I’m not sure what specifically, but I think I’d look into cures for this disease they used to have called cancer, which was REALLY bad. Assuming the world wouldn’t be imminently ending, I try and fix the world. Just a little bit. Sorry, I didn’t know how else to phrase it.
Erend - OK, I HAVE TWO ROUTES. I’D EITHER START MY OWN BAR AND BE A BARTENDER, AND EVERYONE IN TOWN WOULD KNOW WHO I WAS. IF SOMEONE ASKED “HEY, WHAT SHOULD WE DO FOR OUR NIGHT OUT?” THEY’D SAY “LETS GO TO THE FORGE™️” AND NO ONE WOULD DISAGREE. OR I’D GET TOGETHER WITH SOME BUDDIES AND START A BAND. WE’D BE FAMOUS. LIKE REALLY FAMOUS.
Varl - see they used to have this game called football and it’s basically where you kick a ball around and try and get it into the goal. it looks really fun and i don’t know if it would be a proper job but i think i’d like to do that!!
Zo - I would like to be someone who works with plants.. I think they called it a botanist. Sorry it’s not a lengthy answer - that’s all there is to say, really :)
Kotallo - i want to be able to stab my enemies. i think i’ll become a serial killer.
Alva - um. well. i promise he’s fine guys. ANYWAY!! i would love to be a historian.. it’s basically the same as being a diviner but everything is more accurate LOL. or maybe i’ll dig up the dinosaur bones..
Sylens - he’s NOT dealing with my chicanery guys. this is the second time i’ve pestered him like this he might snap soon. although i can picture him as the local neighbour that people generally don’t like. he’s probably like.. some professor at a university who’s REALLY done with this one specific kid.
Beta - i think i’d want to work at a library where i get to read all day and it would be really quiet and then everyone else would come and visit and we’d have tea together and it’d be really nice and cozy
GAIA - I’m not sure. All I’ve ever been is an AI; I’m not sure I can comprehend having a different job. My apologies.

If someone spots a typo in a fanfic you post on ao3 would you be okay with them commenting pointing it out? Big fan of your stuff and just wanna help if thats something youre looking for
This is really sweet and I'm happy that you wanna help but I'm very, very, very sensitive with the stuff I write and if you point out something that's wrong I might not feel good about it-- English isn't my first language and I'm aware it's not the best and I don't have any beta readers either so there are a lot of mistakes in my fics I don't wanna know about 😭 But it's nice that you asked 💖💖

cannot stop thinking about the fact that the main trolls had both a sylph (healing focused class) and a life player (can heal mortal injuries and literally raise the dead), but neither of them focused on their classpect powers At All in the alpha timeline so the party member who did the most actual medicine was equius the sweaty horse guy. he did lifesaving surgery on two separate occasions. on patients who were actively bleeding out. the first was just in his hive with pretty much no notice the second was just on the floor of the meteor. he integrated robotics with their nervous systems and other than some balance issues from the guy whod been paraplegic for months prior to getting his legs cut off with a chainsaw it worked great. the prosthetics held up for the rest of their natural lives. hes 13. after he died they had to start sourcing all their medical care from ghosts

I have scoured the ends of the internet to find if Takemichi has a canonical height. I’ve seen things that cannot be unseen. Heard things that cannot be unheard. Only to find out he doesn’t have a canon height. Only the captives that actually show up in UDG have canon heights. The rest are just estimated based on that line up of them that was put out by the staff.
But the post that people refer back to when they say Takaaki is 6’5” says that Michi is 5’2” so-
Tumblr media
Tiny boy. The top of his head is at Mondo’s shoulder.
Tumblr media
And this comparison too. Look at ‘em.
Keep in mind, there are other sources that say that he’s EVEN SHORTER, but I’m going with this one.
