In the search for the perfect formalwear for the upcoming Dawning Ball, Heulog-12 has been introducing Kysurax to some of Sol's more…audacious fashions.
The Lightbearer Wizard has found herself rather taken with this "polished nail" aesthetic and how sharp and willful it makes her chitin look, particularly the edges about the face.
(finally got around to doing this :3 )

Neptune
“The names you give your planets,” asks the Wizard, breaking the silence between the broken glass crunch of Heulog-12’s footsteps. “What is their meaning? What is…’Jupiter’, what is ‘Neptune’ or ‘Saturn’?” Heulog hadn’t noticed, but the Wizard had slowed their glide to stop in front of a stylized mural depicting the Sol System; such displays were not uncommon in the Cosmodrome.
Heulog hums in astonishment. “I didn’t realize you could read Old Russian.”
The Wizard hesitates for a moment, sinking a bit closer to the floor. “...I cannot. I have read the records of them in the World’s Grave. The Grave is replete with empiric information: names, locations, recent history, but there is little by way of semantic relevance. There is little there concerned with meaning.”
“Meaning?” Heulog is surprised to hear such soft concepts be sanctioned by such sharp teeth. She thinks for a moment, then sighs. “I don’t suppose this counts as Vanguard intel, but nevertheless let’s just keep these…encounters to ourselves for the time being, yeah? This is like the third time in as many months that we’ve bumped into eac—”
“Coincidences and nothing more.” The Wizard hisses with pressed urgency.
“As you’ve insisted. Repeatedly. Now, the planets. They come from old religions. Pre-Golden Age. I’ve read in the Cryptarchy about the mythologies of ancient Rome, though I am no expert; that was more Tyra’s thing. See, they were polytheistic, and came up with personified representations of natural phenomena in order to explain the sometimes capricious and unpredictable behavior of the world around them. Jupiter was the god of the sky, and thunderstorms. Neptune was the god of the sea. Saturn was the god of…time? And agriculture? Wealth? A lot of things, the man was busy.”
The Wizard turns to the Warlock. “Sad that your ancestors had to fabricate gods for themselves, whereas we the Hive are blessed with the knowledge that ours walk among us. It must have been a lonely time in Earth’s history, so removed were you from any and all divinity.”
The Exo scoffs. “You presuppose it would be better had our gods walked among us, implanting ontopathogenic parasites along the way?”
“I didn’t say our way was ‘better’, I said that yours was ‘sad’ and ‘lonely’. Two different things can be undesirable for different reasons.” The Wizard turns and resumes drifting down the hallway of broken glass. “So your planets are named for gods which were allegorical constructs representing concepts. But the meaning is still missing. Why is the planet Jupiter given the name of your thundergod, why is the planet Neptune given that of your god of—” She searches for the word. ”Waves?”
Heulog shrugs. “Your guess is as good as mine. Jupiter is the biggest, Neptune is the bluest? I get the impression it was less about 1:1 semantic matchup, and more about a feeling. An emotion.”
“Do you name yourselves through the same heuristic?”
“Sometimes, sure.”
The Wizard thinks on this a moment. After stopping themselves short three times, they finally ask, “What is the emotion of ‘Heulog’?”
The Exo stops and looks directly at the Wizard. “How do you know my name?”
Curving away in recoil, the Wizard falters. “I—Your Ghost, I overheard it from your Ghost. It talks very loudly.”
Checking the pocket inside her robes where Alder likes to stay when physically manifested, Heulog is greeted by the sleepy, but very silent, glowblue grin of her best friend. Heulog smiles, mouths the word “hey,” and tucks her robes back into place, turning to face the Wizard. “We both know that’s not true.” Her narrowed eyes widen with sudden excitement. “Wait. Do I have an entry in the World’s Grave?!”
The Wizard, unsure, barely above a whisper, admits, “Yes. It is where I first heard about you. It was…intriguing to me. You were not at all like I expected.”
Heulog squints, amused, at the quavering Wizard. “We are going to have to have a sit-down at some point so you can tell me all about what sort of wild, exaggerated fan-fiction the Hive have scrawled about me. But to answer your question: it means “sunny” in Cymraeg, also known as ‘Welsh’ in English, because the provenance of English is one of giving names to things that already have names. The intent behind my name? I don’t know, maybe it was because of my winning smile and warm disposition. Unfortunately I cannot ask the last person who used this body.”
“I understand,” the Wizard lies, affecting a posture of thoughtfulness and introspection.
“Why this interest in the meaning of names? Is this an important subject in Hive cul—” She stops herself, smirks and shakes her head in self-admonishment. She walks over to the Wizard, reaches up, and gently tugs on her claw. Such is the size difference that she can only manage to grab a single digit. “Hey. What’s your name?”
The Wizard’s three eyes flash. “I am called Kysurax. Its meaning is that of sea-foam: sea-foam of the God-wave, the lingering impression of green logic left behind in the wake of final destruction. It means ‘beautiful,’ and it means ‘me’.”
“I understand,” Heulog lies. Her posture of thoughtfulness and introspection, however, is genuine. “Hell of a thing to be named after though, right? In the wake of, y’know, recent developments and all that? Finding out the wave was a lie?” She had been absent-mindedly pushing around shards of glass with the toe of her boot; they had now gathered together into a small pile. “So much fuss over fake gods, huh?”
Kysurax looks at the Exo, considering her rhetorical questions. “Like Neptune?”
Heulog looks back at the Wizard with a guileless grin. “Like Neptune.”

Welsh Moony - a playlist
So from the first day I met them, @wdcmaxy has impressed upon me their Welsh Remus agenda. I decided to make a playlist to celebrate Welsh Moony in all his glory.
All songs are by Welsh artists (some of them in Welsh), and I tried to select songs that I thought fit Remus well where I could.
Full tracklist with lyrics underneath the cut!
1. Hello Sunshine // Super Furry Animals
I'm a minger
You're a minger too
So, come on, minger
I want to ming with you
In honesty
It's been a while
Since we had reason
Left to smile
Hello, Sunshine
Come into my life
2. Peeled Apples // Manic Street Preachers
You know so little about me
What if I turn into a werewolf or something?
3. Y Bluen Eira // The Joy Formidable
Be sy'n digwydd dywed
be ddoth o'r cudd-le
Pwy sy'n codi o'r geg
Sy'n brathu nôl yn anheg
Yn hollti y dymuniad
4. Don't Be Scared, I Love You // Bill Ryder-Jones
Those scars
All those senseless scars
My worst parts were when you're gone
And the endless screaming dark
...
Don't be scared, don't be scared
I love you, I love you
5. Have A Nice Day // Stereophonics
It started straight off, "coming here is Hell"
That's his first words, we asked what he meant
He said, "Where you from?" we told him a lot
We take a holiday, is this what you want?
To have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
Have a nice day
6. Ysbeidiau Heulog // Super Furry Animals
Ond ar y cyfan roedd y camau yn weigion
Y swigod coch yn llosgi fel gwreichion
Um cam ymlaen am ddwy aneffeithlon
Ysbeidiau heulog
Heulog oedd ein oariad ni
Heulog tan ddaeth glaw yn lliff
7. Romance Is Boring // Los Campesinos!
You're pouting in your sleep
I'm waking still yawning
We're proving to each other
That romance is boring
Still there are things I could do
If I was half prepared to
Prove to each other that romance is boring
8. Thank God I'm Not You // HIMALAYAS
I'm a coward, I'm a freak
The scum of the Earth
A liar and a cheat
But I could be so much worse
You could call me narcissistic
You could say I'm of no worth
You could call me the scorn of Satan
But I could be so much worse
I thank God that I'm not you
9. Fel i Fod // Adwaith
Sai'n siwr fel i fod
Beth o ni moyn bod
Yn y dyfodol
Fy hun sidd ar top y list
Pethau nai byth ffeindio
Gobeithio bod pawb yn gwybod
Sai'n siwr fel i fod
Falle fi moyn mynd yn willt
Falle fi moyn mynd i gysgu
Âa-ŵŵ
10. Sexbomb // Tom Jones (ft. Mousse T)
Make me explode although you know
The route to go to sex me slow
And yes, I must react to claims of those
Who say that you are not all that.
Sexbomb Sexbomb you're a Sexbomb
You can give it to me, when I need to come along
Sexbomb sexbomb you're my sexbomb
And baby you can turn me on
11. Suckers! // Super Furry Animals
Tell me you're a phoenix
Rising far above
All the
Suckers in the mainstream
Suckers in their slipstream
Suckers in the underground
Suckers on the benches
Suckers in the trenches
Suckers in the lost and found
12. Pure Pleasure // Drowners
It hurts like hell
But I'd given myself into thinking
You'd settle down
Now I'm holding my eyes and blinking
And I almost choked
When you offered me a smoke on your cigarette
Dry your eyes
This is only the first death
Well it took me by surprise
When you held me to your chest and said
I could love you in secret
I could love you in secret
I could love you in secret
But no one can know
13. Are You Satisfied? // MARINA
High achiever, don't you see?
Baby, nothing comes for free
They say I'm a control freak
Driven by a greed to succeed
Nobody can stop me
'Cause it's my problem if I want to pack up and run away
It's my business if I feel the need to smoke and drink and sway
It's my problem, it's my problem if I feel the need to hide
And it's my problem if I have no friends and feel I want to die
14. Dim Bendith // Super Furry Animals
Arswyd mae dy ddyddiau mor faith
Does wybod lle i sbio pan fod pawb mor ddauwynebog
Cysgu di heno febyn annwyl dy fam
Mae'n anodd treulio mil pan fo'r ddinas mor ddi hafant
Paid dyfaru byth
Na, dwi'm yn chwerthin ar dy ben di
15. Cave Song // Pretty Vicious
We are children of the streets
Don't listen to a word about tomorrow
'Cause the world is at our feet
It's mad, so try and just relax
Smoke another fag and ease your sorrows
'Cause you lads are all I need
Singing, drinking in the caves
All night, yeah
16. Conversations With Myself // Drowners
Where you going and how long until you're back
To forget what what I just lost track
I go to places where we used to go
The empty bedroom has been feeling cold
You must be busy, I've not heard from you for a while
Feeling lonely? No I'll be alright
My one track mind isn't treating me
Quite as kindly as I'd have liked
But conversations with myself
Conversations with myself
When I find the words I wanna say
The door is locked and I can't find a way out
17. Torra Fy Ngwallt Yn Hir // Super Furry Animals
Nei di dorri fy ngwallt yn hir?
Reit i lawr at fy nhin
Nei di dorri fy ngwallt yn hir?
Reit i lawr at fy nhin
Fydd neb yn eistedd wrth fy ymyl
Pan dwi ar y bws
Nei di dorri fy ngwallt yn hir?
A paid a geund dim ffys!
18. 9669 // The Joy Formidable
We don't ride, we don't ride to sunset
We just ride off to our last breath
This time it's over
Unless I under miss my
Nothing miss my number
19. 9669 (Welsh Language Version) // The Joy Formidable - Bonus Track

As the Hive typically depict others in words alone, Kysurax has been taking a greater interest in the novelty of portraiture.
There aren't many places to take a romantic portrait in the Tower, but they make it work.

Cultural Exchange, in which rituals of affection are discussed, commenced, and finally seen through to the end, and two women express heretofore unsaid emotions.
This was a culmination of a lot of things: art struggles, pushing my way through the last stretch of destinytober prompts, rounding off an arc of a character that I came up with for the event itself but ended up being extremely important to me, a big irl move, and as a result this emotionally-charged exchange serves as my submission for XXXI: Free Space, along with so much else.
Thanks for reading <3

Her work done for the time being, Eris finally relents and agrees to participate in some of the more hands-on traditions for the Festival of the Lost.
Her loved ones and biggest supporters gather to share in her experiences, but are mostly just glad to have her back home. 💚

"I always used to wonder whose hand that was, clutched in yours, back when I first found you here."
A sudden wind casts a cloud of dust from the Cosmodrome Wall, and Alder retreats into the collar of Heulog's robes.
"And then one day you met Kysurax—and I didn't wonder anymore."
