Glitch 1.3

Notices snow when she choas heals, so yes does palse the area making a dome of ice and clear air then dives into the backpack leaving it open so air escapes. She uses scrounge with a bost from the exstra chaos to search the contents for bits of metal, fabric, and tubing.

If she finds everything she crafts a crude mask and uses the clip with a moebius strip in it binding ether a plant spirit or air spirit to use the moebius strip to ether turn her cow to o2 or filter her air making it into an infinite rebreather.

Though likely the best she could get here is some kinda mold spirit but that would be fine just means only she could use it with out getting sick. (Or some one with disease imunity)

She also takes the time to take human form and bind the eyes she got to her soul so she can use them in rat form.

Then she gets out and looks around to try and get more info on her surroundings.

*Roll & Advance & Learn Somatic Body Modification*
She is fully healed, but in the process, she feels an immense release of tension and Chaos from her eye sockets as she heals in two ways at once - she can now switch at will between natural eyes and cybernetic eyes at will - her body has made the cybernetic eye part of her optional DNA code.

*Rolls & advances & Learn Boost Spiritual Magics*

quote:
binding ether a plant spirit or air spirit to use the moebius strip to ether turn her cow to o2 or filter her air making it into an infinite rebreather.

When she seeks for a spirit to bind to the breather mask, she only finds one viable spirit - an extremely ancient megafauna serpent which generated its own atmosphere, teraforming the planet in the process. The creature was slain by the native inhabitants billions of years ago, but is willing to take up residence in the mobius clip after Glitch's very polite request. In order for this sequence of events to happen, a divergent version of Glitch attempted to force the spirit to reside in the clip, and suffered horribly for a very long time before everything was made right. That Glitch prayed that she might prevent other versions of herself from that mistake. How fortunate.

The already de-corrupted spirit calls itself Contra, and immediately starts converting the every gas that touches it into a breathable atmosphere.

quote:
Then she gets out and looks around to try and get more info on her surroundings.


She begins walking around the rocky terrain, and soon realizes that she is on a plateau off the edge of the plateau, her eye reports that the atmosphere is acidic for about 10,000 feet down the cliff. Then for about 100,000 feet the atmosphere is neutral - mostly water, carbon dioxide and oxygen. Then from 110,000 feet down to the the ground a further 300,000 feet the atmosphere was very high on the PH scale - higher than bleach.

She also notices that her body seems to be able to put up with the acid, and is healing faster than the acid can burn her.

*rolls etc*

Her cyber-eyes pick up life in the valley far below, and show that the entire plateau seems to be lifeless, but also seems to create the map of a labyrinth from above https://wp-media.patheos.com/b...6/02/RockyValley.jpg - she can't quite make out the shape with her cybernetic eyes because of the angles and resolution, but her natural eye is able to pick up the shape and feed the information to her Maze Mapping mind.

She also senses that the Wyld Weaver and Wyrm energies here are in a kind of braided pattern of balance, with one rolling over the other in turn and in balance over time. At the moment, Wyld is more heavily balanced than Weaver or Wyrm.

She also sees in her imagination, the spirit of the planet - and an avatar of the spirit of the planet appears in her imaginal sight (not exactly the same as spiritual sight). The avatar is a Green furred humanoid bulldog dressed in gym clothes ((like this, but green https://i.pinimg.com/originals...d9cea186e0ca0ae7.png )) They say, "Hey, Glitch! Daing, rat, how's it goin'? Where you been at?"

(glitch wouldn't force a spirit to bind with anything unless it was temporary and she was in a rush.)

She asks if the spirit had any eggs or the like that may lay dormant some where, this planet looks like it could use it's kind, maybe she could impart to the locals that they are needed for the planet to mature/heal.

She starts to climb down into the life band in the valley when the spirit dog shows up. She blinks a few times canting her head to one side. "We take it we have/will meet before in the future/past?"

In that case, then, it must have been only one of billions of divergents from that moment of choice.

His eyes flash, "Oh, yeah! I forgot about that. Oh well, not every brain the size of a planet has a perfect memory."

The spirit laughs, and the avatar of the planet says, "Please don't reintroduce that invasive species into my ecosystem again. The invaders were contacted and have withdrawn their forces, and I'm very carefully orchestrating the balance of my ecology and the evolution of my creatures. You're here for a reason, but I'll let you know if you're getting off track. Otherwise, I'll just be hanging with you here in your imagination. You call me _____ by the way."

((Choose what Glitch would call him, and that's what he said.))

After about an hour climbing down, Glitch is hanging on to a seemingly solid rock, when the rock suddenly shifts and falls with her on it. She's now in a free-fall and has been pushed off and away from the cliff a bit.

Right now would just call him Sender because thats a mouth full..... she dose respond going "Yah that is a mouthful. And hard as balls to say."

Lets her self fall till she's facing the cliff side again and used leap of the kangaroo to jump to it digging her claws in. She's fairly good at climbing and there is a gift called skitter that even lets her climb along a sheer surface, upside down, so if she activates it she should be able to dig her claws in and stop herself from falling. Then climb the rest of the way down.

Then she remembers the knife and just tries to get down enough she can see where life is and teleport nearby so she can get a closer look. feeling a little silly to be climbing around.

Just as she tries to leap, the section of rock she was clinging to as it fell, juts off to the side from bouncing off of an outcrop that seemed like it wasn't there a minute ago, ruining her momentum and causing her to spin instead of move toward the cliff. As she pulls out the knife, a stone falling from above hits the knife, causing it to soon away from her. Her momentum and speed have already increased enough, though that before she has time to do anything else, she lands like Wonder Woman, making a dent in the ground, but leaving her safe and sound.

Tries to catch the knife with her tail as it falls for style points.  =p

Sighs, taking a moment to self groom after that fall and looks around. Not sure why that didn't hurt but assumes she is changing in more ways than she knows.... or maybe it was a gift from one of the world celestials that have been so nice to her. Guess they find this scriff stuff rather interesting, or at least entertaining, to be so chatty.

She looks around to see what life is down here though.

Glitch catches the knife, wrapping her tail around the handle, and looking like a badass.

quote:
She looks around to see what life is down here


There is an abundance of vegetation, but most of it is no bigger than her thigh, and there aren't any trees bigger than her. Most of the creatures are less than an inch tall, and only a few lizards are even as tall as her knees. Tiny flying bat-like lizards dart here and there, and hundreds of gnat-sized birds fly near the tree tops.

She sees a collection of tiny houses, none bigger than an inch tall, all enclosed in a clearing against the wall, with a stone fence about the size of Glitch all the way around it.

Suddenly, she finds herself surrounded by anthropomorphic fur covered green creatures about 1/8 inch tall. One of them climbs her within a few seconds, and stands on her nose, staring into her eyes. It waits a moment, then pokes her with a tiny spear, which feels like a splinter just scratching the surface.

The little guy turns its head this way and that about 20-30 times before Glitch finished the thought. He jumps down from her nose, landing similarly to how she had recently landed. But then they all move around alot really fast, some go off, most stay behind. Then, about 5 seconds after he jumped down, the little guy rapidly scales back up to her nose.

He thinks at her, Hey

Glitch 1.3

By the time she thinks "if we", half of the gathered little people have dispersed, and they've established a supply line from the city to Glitch, and a defensive perimeter around her and the remaining people gathered. Les than a second after she begins to transform, probably most of the city has returned. They move around really quickly, even for their size.

The little guy who was on her nose thinks at her Wow!

Then by the time she finishes thinking "better?", they've already built a stone replica of Glitch.

Just then, a very fast (but not as fast as the little guys) lizard about the same size as Glitch's rat form, leaps into their midst and bites down on a mouthful of them and tries to retreat. Some of them who are armed with spears, attack the lizard, showing it down enough for Glitch to catch it, but otherwise it looks like it'll get away into the tiny jungle.

She catches the lizard, mainly because it's on her scale of size, and examines it. How where they moving so fast. They where not eating enough for the kinda of insane matabilizisem it would take to have that kinda movement non stop. Was there something with the flow of time here? She could ramp up her senses and movement to match but not for long.... not non stop. She scaned the lizard over trying to figure it out, pinning it down if she could do so with out hurting it. She didn't want to use anything on it that might taint any results.

If it fought back she would push the fight away form the village if she could, and she would try to just stick to being a bigger rat or something to hold it down to exsamine it.

quote:
She catches the lizard

Once she's immobilized it, the furry little people pry it's mouth open with their spears and free the people it had begun to chew. There is little person blood everywhere, limbs torn off, people almost completely skinned, offal protruding and even a few skulls showing their partial brains. But within a few short seconds, all who survived are almost completely healed, with limbs and skin regrown and organs all back in place and inside. The lizard manages to swallow the limbs that were severed.

quote:
How where they moving so fast

*Roll & gain Somatic skills*
Glitch feels an internal clock sense she's never felt before, and feels an ability to change its speed.

quote:

((Well, actually, they were eating every few minutes, it just wasn't important to me enough to mention it. But good catch, their metabolism mostly makes sense.))

They do have an extremely efficient metabolism, and she can tell from her Sight abilities that they're converting ambient spiritual energy into somatic energy to make up the difference. She can also duplicate what they're doing even more efficiently than she already can. Now she could keep up with their speed indefinitely.

quote:
If it fought back she would push the fight away form the village

*Roll & gain Somatic Strength*
It does fight back with significantly more strength than it should have for its size, it seems to be capable of lifting 250 lbs even though it weighs less than 2 lbs. But in struggling against it, Glitch feels her own muscles popping and snapping and rehealing rapidly until she's more than capable of overcoming its disproportionate strength.

Once it's been fully immobilized and overpowered by Glitch, and now that Glitch is moving as fast as the little people, the little people run up to the lizard with spears in hand, ready to hunt the lizard for their own meat. They nod at Glitch in gratitude, spears lifted high.

((I really enjoy how you think of things I hadn't considered - like biting off the tail.))

The little guys celebrate the gift of the tail and the leader who had climbed Glitch rubs some twigs together until they start smoking, then flower into the sensual slow dancing flame. Someone fans the flame while another feeds it more twigs. Another stabs the tail in places and shoves arm-sized herbs into the holes. The leader gestures and two of them hoist the tail over the flame to cook it. A smell like rotisserie chicken slowly fills the air.

Nobody has spoken words aloud, though they have made noises of celebration.

While the tail cooks, the leader approaches Glitch's nose and his scent subtly changes this way and that as he thinks at her without words, using mostly feelings of scent (automatically interpreted by the telepathy): Gratitude, awe and amazement. Images of Glitch descending from heaven and creating (non-harmful) earthquakes throughout the valley. Then images of the unbelievably huge Glitch combined with admiration. Then the transformation into a mouse, which takes hours, combined with love and appreciation for condescension. Then fear with the lizard followed by more gratitude and joy with the tail. Then a sense of query and confusion and a confused repitition of the words Glitch thought.

Being a Chaos Mage, her innate Chaos interpretation translates the subtly changing scents as, "Wow! Thanks! A good god from on high has graced us! You came down to our level, not holding on to your power and might, rescued us from the dragon, and fed us without permanently harming it! Why do you use 'words', and why can I hear them in my head? This is new, I've never heard or sensed the thoughts of another before, and I've certainly never experienced 'words'."

Then, when the tail has been fully cooked, they give half of it to Glitch (she's only a little hungry - enough to eat maybe 1/4 of what they gave her) and the rest of those nearby gather and are each given a portion - children, elders and pregnant women first, then everyone else. The leader is the last to receive a portion.

When Glitch saw the maze with one exit and one path from above, she noticed that she was landing near the center of the maze. The little stone-walled village is at the furthest point possible from the exit.

~We are not gods, the only god we know of here is the world itself....~ she bites her lower lip trying to remember the full correct name to share and it takes her a moment. ~Somasaikee Natoclasta Send Idmeistra~ She stops using words though after that as she is use to spirit speak and it is similar. She tells them words was a gift from the weaver, a primal force of order, they allow recording thoughts and sharing them in ways you consistent about there meanings. She didn't mean to share the gift with them but figured Sender knew she would so it's fine, besides she leaves it to them to figure out words if they chose to use them.

She removes what she needs to eat from the tail and shares the rest so they can have extra portions or save some for later.

She meditates for a while to try and get a feel for the balance of things here and asks the leader to tell her about the valley.

((Technically, by their definition, Glitch is a god. For them, a god isn't something to be worshiped, a god is any spirit-being who isn't reliant on a physical body. Glitch can walk into the Spirit realm, so Glitch counts as a god from their understanding - but if Glitch's understanding of a god is something that is worshiped, then she is right and the leader would agree.))

quote:
Somasaikee Natoclasta Send Idmeistra

The leader closes his eyes and repeats the name three times, then breathes really fast about 17 times. When he opens his eyes a moment later returning to normal breath, he thinks at Glitch the feeling of self-designation and then the thought-sounds, ~Setthoshel~ with the meaning of Spirit Chosen Leader and then the feeling of the tiny green-furred people group designation and then the thought-sounds, ~Amkelevadam~ with the meaning of People of loyal-love and dirt. This is Chaos-translated as I'm Setthoshel and we are the Amkelevadam.

quote:
She removes what she needs to eat from the tail and shares the rest so they can have extra portions or save some for later.

The extra portions are taken by a group back to the city to share there.

quote:
She meditates for a while to try and get a feel for the balance of things here


Wyld and Wyrm are in complete cooperation with each other here, both maximizing the effects of the other. Like the tail of the lizard, anything that dies is very quickly decomposed and distributed around to fertilize new life. When a tree loses a branch, new life sprouts out of the cracks. When a tree is partially burned by something, sometimes new growth creates interesting fractal shaped trees, sometimes a fungal-plant symbiosis forms. All of the dead wood is used very quickly. Only Weaver is a little bit weaker here, but that is only because Weaver energy is just now budding out of the Spirit realm into the physical plane. The entire planet is an intricate and mature balance of Wyld Wyrm and Weaver, even Corruption exists only in a controlled and balanced mode of existence - kept at bay and prevented from causing irrevocable harm. Corruption is being used like a spiritual Wyrm, Woven into becoming a Wyld fertilizer.

There is a pathway of evolution laying before the tiny green furred people, and it is the pathway out of the labyrinth.

quote:
asks the leader to tell her about the valley


Translated, what Setthoshel says is, "Matter, the mother of life, through Somasaikee Natoclasta Send Idmeistra our creator, held us in her heart as she chose a rock in all the sea of the night and placed it near to a jewel which would give life - the sun above. The love in the heart of our creator became the life that we are. In this valley, there are many trials of survival. Creator has provided us with challenges to keep us full of life and love. The dragon-tail we just ate reminds us that we are part of the body of life and those whom we become are within us even now. We cultivate the life around us to support us without taking away from it since it is part of us. In this valley, some of the trials we face include the dragons ((size of a mouse)), and the great dragons ((size of a cat)). The mountain dragons ((lizards the size of a dog to a dinosaur)) ignore us.

"The river of life flows in from up the valley, and sinks into the deep well behind the village under the great wall. Mermaids in the under-sea sing stories ((without words)) of the great meandering river of the under-sea which flows hotter and hotter until at its end, it boils away into the highest heavens. From there, the seeds of the winds sing stories ((also no words)) of the great world-ocean teeming with life, which receives the water of the under-sea and returns it to the great island mountain where it pours in as a great waterfall to become the river of life."

((Fair point. Glitch is in the Bleach-zone - everything in this region is bathed in a gaseous PH basic atmosphere that it would quickly kill ordinary Earth lifeforms. Glitch's automatic healing is keeping up with the demand on her system to continuously heal her from the chemical burns before they become visible or even painful. There is a river which slowly diminishes as it descends from outside the labyrinth. The lowest point of the entire pathway is the little village, and the last single-droplet tinkle of the river descends on a hydrophobic surface through the bottom of the village and down a crevice beneath the central wall. These creatures evolved here under the supernatural glow of the sun which produces a Superman-like biology for all lifeforms, and which provides hyper-speed in-life evolution. Ever see Dragon Ball Z? Remember how no matter how beaten Goku got, he always came back stronger? That's these guys, with leveled up challenges along the path as they ascend - designed to help them to evolve into more and more wonderful and naturally strong yet balanced constantly evolving creatures to be prized. Sender was never a big fan of magic that the mind controlled - preferring natural magic and physical peak. Magic of matter and heart for a people of matter and heart. Amkelevadam would be literally translated as people-dog-humans or people-of-loyal-love-and-matter because that is literally what they are. Kelev (a Hebrew word) means dog, and it also means "that which is loyal love" (or something like that involving 'loyal love' for sure). But this isn't like Goku, just beating his way to the top - this is something entirely more beautiful.))

Well seeing as weaver is not fully in balance here feels it's safe to gift them with language... least put the spark in there mind and help guide them to the discovery of there own language. So they may pass down there culture more easily. Record there knowledge and music gifting such simple things may make her like a god to them but guesses that is fine long as she only acts as a guide... letting them figure things out on there own.

She will slow herself down for a while, while they figure out language and study them and other life trying to figure out there broader range PH resistances so the acids and bases don't harm her so much. It is physically and spiritually draining to heal so much, and she would have to eat more if she keep it up.... that or meditate much more.

She won't help them any unless they are struggling baddly, not even telling them they can record things down just that language is used to pass things on.... she will let them figure out it can be recorded on there own.
