This crossover idea by @help-i-need-a-cool-username has been on my mind for DAYS thinking of how the alt turtles would summon Leon or one of the others.
Then, I read this beautiful piece of a fic, coming right on back for you by taizi, and the answer came to me in the author's absolute galaxy brain of a headcanon, which I will not paraphrase and instead give you an excerpt of the fic where taizi very concisely yet perfectly encapsulates the concept:
If all of the universes in this dimension were highways running parallel to one another, he explained unremarkably, to Donnie’s mounting incredulity, then the Hidden City would be a secret subway system tucked neatly underneath with about a billion lines in and out and crazy good Wi-Fi. 
-
Go read and show it some love.
-
Anyway, that got me thinking. What if because the Hidden City is basically a giant subway station where people can enter and exit as they please if they know how to access the HC, the yokai feel that it's important to regulate the use of mystic energy. Not all mystic/magic users use their powers for good and sometimes they go out of control to the point of becoming a threat. It's a problem because what if the threat comes into the Hidden City?
So there's like a whole organisation in charge of this. They're like a combination of a help hotline and pest control for mystic users/supernatural creatures running rampant. Way back in the day, they used to be contacted through summoning scrolls that were sent out to every universe. The dispatchers would just send the closest available recruit to help... it's a flawed system.
Fast forward to Rise time period, Donnie comes in and overhauls the whole system because imagine if there's like a rampaging monster and you have to go through all the tedious ritual procedures, only to get someone who is of no help at all? Bitch, NO.
After Donnie's intervention, they're still scrolls, but now the dispatchers answer like in an actual hotline, just that the words appear on the scroll like game instructions. Summoners can now specify the help they need, and Donnie's system will scan the database for a suitable helper. The helper will be transported from their current location to the location of the summon immediately.
There's no prior notice. All helpers should expect to be summoned at all times because any kind of threat that requires their expertise can appear at any time. On the bright side though, the high risk of their job means they get paid very, very handsomely.
Donnie enters Leo's name as a joke; who the hell would summon Leo? Then the Usagi thing happens (this is a genuine coincidence), and while pissed, Leo can't be too mad since he got a boyfriend out of it, but then Donnie forgets to take his name out of the database.
Cue crossover idea and it's like:
The second they open the scroll, a golden holographic square appears on it with the words,
MYSTIC HOTLINE, WHAT'S YOUR EMERGENCY?
They stare it in confusion. How do they answer? Does it work like a video game or a phone call?
They try the verbal route. It works.
*insert brief explanation*
The words change.
UNDERSTOOD. IS THERE A SPECIFIC TYPE OF HELP YOU REQUIRE?
"Uh, I'd prefer if the person you send has experience in fighting magical threats, and is a teenage mutant ninja turtle named Leonardo."
Meanwhile in the Riseverse:
MATCH FOUND. ETA: 5 SECONDS.(PLEASE NOTE THAT YOUR MYSTIC HELPER IS INSURED AND YOU WILL NOT BE HELD RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY HARM THAT BEFALLS UPON THEM.)
A glowing blue Hamato symbol appears below Leo.
"Oh, for fu- Not again!"

Fixing the T'au empire part 2
So, in the first part I explained how the T'au were fine as they were, because their relatively hopeful outlook on the galaxy shone bright in contrast of the rest of the setting, how that turn the rest of the setting even darker, and how I love the idea that the solution to the Galaxy's problem is a truly different, alien approach to our individualist societies.
However, I have come to realize something, a reason as to why the T'au Empire may not feel at home in the 40k universe, and I thought about it by watching Indiana Jones 4, so sacrifices have been made.
The T'au Empire is not mythological.
The 40k is not a sci-fi setting, it is a dark fantasy setting with guns. And part of what makes the grandiosity of it is how mythologized every faction is. And I do not speak about religion, I speak of myths as in the stories we, right now, tell ourselves are the foundations of the world, the archetypes of what is and is not.
The Imperium incarnates the various mythologies of vast empires. Alexander the Great, Genghis Khan, the British Empire, vast swats of lands combining different people united by righteousness and oppression. And also how all those empires fell. It's the idea of "things were better before" (even when they were not). Moreover, the equipment used by this faction is deliberatly old, centuries old, technology is religiously taken care of, weapons are blessed, vehicles are passed down from generation to generation. It is all very old, marked with that myths of the old Empire on its last leg.
The Orks are the Barbarians At the Gate, the savages who relish only destruction, like Attila the Hun, but british. In truth, it's not like barbarians actually existed, those were just foreign countries, but the myth is there.
The Tyranids are the Monsters in the Dark.
The Craftworld Eldars are the Atlanteans, the Utopians, the Babelians, the Old Civilization who fell due to their own hubris, and is now a superior people with no place to call home and no way back their transgression.
The Dark Eldars are the Feys of old, trolls, goblins, fairies stealing children in the night, playing cruel and horrific pranks, eating people. And following them to their home is a death sentence.
The Chaos is the Evil of Man, the primordial sin, the dark part of Humanity that eats itself to death, self destructive and perverse (They should have western dragons, that would fit them).
The Necrons are Death, or at least they try. They are like the Craftworld Eldars in a sense, but in a more Inevitable return way.
But the T'au? They do not fit any myth, in fact they specifically are immune to myths and the Warp. They are no none-sense, they do not play by any rule. As they were written, they would be better as a recurring joke than a faction. Everything about them is bright new, from theme to lore, and it makes them feel shallow.
There is one exception to that, and that is Farsight, who fit the myth of the Virtuous Rebel, an archetype that is not really coined by any faction as far as I know. In a way, he could also be kind like King Arthur, with his magic blade and his knights around him, but the clash of eastern/western reference hide this interpretation of him.
So... how to fix it? Modern problems requires modern myths.
As I said, myths are not about what is actually old, myths are always modern, visions we have right now about the past. So what Myth could fit the T'au Empire? I think we must look to a very modern work of literature: The SCP Foundation. A collective work written like articles depicting how an advanced and secret organization captures, study, and contains supernatural entities. They are much like the Men in Black, or the government in X-Files. They gain they mythology not through what they are, but what they deal with.
I think we should make the T'au Empire's main armies kinda fade in the background and focus on an organisation within the the T'au Empire that would approach the other mythological faction with a saavy appraoch based on tech to contain and use the horrors back at the horrors. A cold scalpel who knows what they are dealing with, knows they are outmatched, and use secrecy, focused efforts, and unconventional tactics to deal with it. The T'au Empire already have the foundation for it, they are technologically advanced, learn from their mistakes, and have authoritarian ruling cast shrouded in mystery.
They could pop up bio/cyber/solar-punks units, highly specialised and modified modern soldiers. Not the WW1 Kriegsmen, not the WWII Cadians, not the Catachan Rambos, not the Angelic Space Marines. People, with modern, recognizable equipment, turning to extremes in order to deal with demons, and civilizations using farming equipment more ancient than their prehistory.
In that perspective, the T'au main armies would kind of become the background, the necessary fight force to win actual battles and hold ground. Their stories could develop nicely on their own until they become established enough to have their own mythos. But the main event would be the Secret Cadre, the Black ops, the Foundation, the Men In Black of the T'au Empire, using not ancient techs and beliefs against demons like the Inquisition does, but developing Reality anchors of their own, sending modified Tyranid viruses into the other faction, using Soul Traps to capture and send daemons to corrupt enemy tanks.
Fire warriors spawned from tyranids biopools, weapons build by engineers trapped in time distortion to produce more advanced stuff faster, ships recycled from Space Hulks...
To mythologize the T'au, the T'au must, I believe, become Myth users to become Myth Breakers.

Saioumota vtuber AU! (My full piece from @saioumota-zine​ )
Also included are the full designs and the Discord icons. Kokichi’s account is the one shown, so it was fun to think of what people he’d be friends with and what kind of servers he’d be in. (I’m not saying they all met in a Terezi fan server in this AU, but I’m not not saying that.)
The conversation they’re having on Discord is basically Kaito having bad wi-fi, Kokichi claiming to have cursed him, and Shuichi offering sympathy and trying to point out something on screen. I imagine they all commissioned Angie for the art in universe, but here in our world, I had loads of fun trying to make the art styles distinct 😁
Official names:
Kindaichi Satoki / 金田一 悟記 Surname: reference to famous fictional detective Kindaichi Kosuke Given name: enlightenment/perceive/realize, account/record (also, sounds like Satori)
Amateur (?) detective with a suspicious amount of anime and game knowledge for someone who claims to only read detective novels and true crime. Audience is split on whether the stories they tell about cases are based on something the real person behind them actually experienced or are totally fictional/references to media.
Inexplicably amazing at racing games. Banned from werewolf/mafia-type multiplayer games for being too good at guessing the bad actors.
Yamiochi Makiko / 闇落 魔鬼子 Surname: fall to darkness/heel turn Given name: demon, ghost, child (also, same first kanji as Maki)
Daughter and heir to the demon king who refers to all followers/subs as minions in her evil organization. Possibly also a clown? Only plays games on hard, and is apparently pro-level at chess. Really wide range of expressions, especially creepy ones!
Accepts Yamimaki and Kiko as nicknames, but not plain Maki. There is some Other Maki who never appears and is only referenced ominously.
Nanase Stella / 七星 ステラ Surname: seven stars/Big Dipper Given name: Latin for star
Alien visiting Earth for the first time from another galaxy. Inexplicably speaks Japanese, English, and Russian despite this. Chat streams rebranded as “Let Me Tell You About Space!” because that’s most of what happened anyway, but she’ll still give advice/encouragement if someone asks.
Consistently terrible luck, both in games (random chance= worst outcome 100% of the time) and out (wi-fi has issues constantly, streams glitch out in ways that seem impossible). Official explanations offered: 1) Attacks from enemy aliens who want to destroy Earth. 2) Cursed by Makiko with a million years of bad luck.

Tumblr media
One day in 1979, while logged in to San Diego State University’s principal computer from his home, Vernor Vinge found himself chatting to another user via the TALK program, both using implausible names and trying to figure out each other’s true name. “Afterwards, I realised that I had just lived a science-fiction story – at least by the standards of my childhood,” recalled Vinge, a mathematics and computer science teacher at the university, who has died from Parkinson’s disease aged 79.
The encounter was the starting point for his novella True Names (1981), one of the first sci-fi stories to predict an internet that is remarkably familiar to us 40 years later, with its fully immersive multiplayer role-playing games, dark web, hackers and trolls. Its descriptions of a virtual reality battle between Mr Slippery and the Mailman predated William Gibson’s Neuromancer by three years and, while it was Gibson who named “cyberspace”, Vinge was the godparent of its iconography.
At a meeting of the Association for the Advancement of Artificial Intelligence in 1982, Vinge coined the term “the Singularity” to describe the increasingly rapid acceleration of AI; he expanded on the concept in an editorial in the science and sci-fi magazine Omni, in which he said: “We will soon create intelligences greater than our own. When this happens … the world will pass beyond our understanding.”
A decade later, in The Coming Technological Singularity (1993), Vinge predicted that within 30 years “we will have the technological means to create superhuman intelligence. Shortly after, the human era will be ended.”
In his novel Marooned in Realtime (1986), a singularity event in the 23rd century known as “the Extinction” has repercussions 50 million years in the future, when only a handful of humans have been able to survive in “bobbles”, impenetrable force fields in which time slows to zero. One of the scientists trying to reconnect humanity is murdered – perhaps uniquely for a locked-room murder mystery, she is locked outside. This was a sequel to The Peace War (1984), in which the new stasis technology is shown to be misused by the ruling Peace Authority.
Vinge’s A Fire Upon the Deep (1992) and its prequel A Deepness in the Sky (1999) both won Hugo awards. A fine example of how Vinge could be rigorously true to his scientific beliefs without it limiting his ability to write galaxy-spanning space opera, A Fire Upon the Deep sidestepped the inevitability of all civilisations destroying themselves by dividing the Milky Way into “zones of thought”: the galaxy centre being the Unthinking Depths, surrounded by the Slow Zone and, a little further out, the Beyond, leading into Transcend. In this way he could write a far future-set adventure, where discoveries among the relics of a long-dead civilisation lead to the emergence of a malevolent AI called the Blight.
A Deepness in the Sky is set 30,000 years earlier, the characters unaware of the zones of thought, which makes it almost a standalone epic about an emerging spider civilisation unaware that it is being battled over by space-faring races.
Vinge won more Hugos, for the novellas Fast Times at Fairmont High (2001) and The Cookie Monster (2003) and the novel Rainbow’s End (2006), set in a near future dominated by augmented reality.
Born in Waukesha, Wisconsin, the son of Clarence Vinge, a teacher at the state college, and his wife, Ada (nee Rolands), Vernor earned a mathematics degree from Michigan State University in 1966, and a master’s (1968) and PhD (1971) from the University of California, San Diego. He began working as an assistant professor at San Diego State University in 1972, rising to associate professor of mathematics in 1978, and retiring in 2000.
Vinge described his youthful self as an imaginative child who “wanted interstellar empires (interplanetary ones at the least). I wanted supercomputers and artificial intelligence and effective immortality. All seemed possible.” Science fiction was his window into this world. He began writing as a teenager, selling one story, Apartness, to Michael Moorcock’s New Worlds magazine in 1965 and Bookworm, Run, a story involving an escaped chimp with enhanced intelligence, to John W Campbell’s Analog in 1966.
Damon Knight published Grimm’s Story in his 1968 anthology Orbit, and asked if Vinge could expand it into a novel. He could, as Grimm’s World (1969, later revised and expanded as Tatja Grimm’s World, 1987), with Tatja Grimm the ruler of a primitive planet who reaches out to greater civilisations, only to be beset by slavers. The Witling (1976) featured a world in which everyone has the power to teleport, and a shipwrecked anthropological team from Earth who are considered low-status “witlings” (half-wits), fit only for slavery.
Vinge’s last published novel, The Children of the Sky (2011) was a sequel to A Fire Upon the Deep. While he then retired from writing (only two vignettes were published later), his body of work continued to be recognised with various honours, including the Robert A Heinlein award in 2020, rewarding “an author whose body of work inspires the human exploration of space”.
Vinge married Joan Dennison in 1972; she wrote under the name of Joan D Vinge, and they divorced in 1979. He is survived by his sister, Patricia.

Todays rip: 22/04/2024
Robbie's Rotten Mine
Season 8 No Album Release (Read More)
Ripper Unknown
youtube
Hey, yesterday I covered the olden ways of doing We Are Number One rips - it only seems right to contrast it with how things are done nowadays!
Though, of course, Robbie's Rotten Mine is far form the first rip of this style that I've covered on here, but it likely won't even be the last. Chillin’ Like A Villain, Ska Cha Cha (Rotten Mix), and of course The expanse of meme in past was split, A fiendish trap has now been set; Behind a tree the villains sit, Terror of sport, the Robbie's Net., are all some of my favorite rips on the channel - and the reason is just because, even eight years later, I'm very attached to this silly ska song. There's a lot of memes that seem to have run their course for people, stuff like All Star mashups as I talked about in Semi-Charmed All Star, and while the rest of the internet certainly aren't out there celebrating We Are Number One anymore, the SiIvaGunner team is still making rips of the song at a remarkably consistent clip. And like, I stand by what I declared back on We Are Number 4 (Golden) - of all the long-running jokes on the channel, We Are Number One feels as if it is the most refined and polished one - it isn't just being used as a reocurring gag, but because rippers have become exceptionally good at using it for truly high quality rips.
Robbie's Rotten Mine, then, decides to combine my affection for We Are Number One with my unabashed love for Mario Kart Wii, which I've rambled on about with several posts already now like Neon Wi-Fi and Sweatpants Select. The result is a rip that just made me smile as soon as the rugpull occurred: Those unedited first four seconds builds suspense for just long enough, only for Robbie's sax playing to suddenly introduce the rip proper, not just revealing the joke, but reminding you of just how far We Are Number One-posting has come. Because yes, that is unmistakeably the same saxophone sound as in the original song - but its playing the opening to Wario's Gold Mine, the arrangement is absolutely seamlessly blending the two. It really just gets better from there going into the chorus, I love how the ripper leverages Wario's Gold Mine having a sort of ebb-and-flow between sounding silly and trepidatious by matching them with We Are Number One's chorus and verses respectively. The Wario's Gold Mine melody going all nervewracking and tense feels like it was MADE for something like Robbie Rotten talking about sneaking around and laying booby traps - in the words of one commenter, "I’m more surprised this didn’t happen until now".
I talk a lot on here about rips in the vein of, say, Poké Village: the ones that feel ever-so-personal, like love letters to parts of a ripper's life, the ones that bridge parts of the online world together that you'd never considered before listening. But there's just as much value to be found in the rips on the other end of the spectrum, ones like Among Drip Drop Galaxy - the ones where the joke fits so well, that it's a marvel it hadn't been done sooner. I declared Among Drip Drop Galaxy a damn-near perfect rip for that very reason, and I'm going to do the very same for Robbie's Rotten Mine - with maybe just one sole exception, there are few songs that I think would fit We Are Number One quite as perfectly as Wario's Gold Mine, and yet it took me eight years past the meme's upbringing for me to come to that conclusion. And to me, that speaks volumes to just how enduring of a tune We Are Number One is - there's surely yet more to be done with this track, and I'm all here for it.

Farscape, Season 1: Very Late To This Party
Tumblr media
Farscape is one of those shows that has floated in and out of my general consciousness over the years, but I've never actually sat down and watched it. I've started it a couple of times, but like a few shows out there (Parks & Rec, and The Office both fit this category for me) it took me a few tries to actually dig into the show and really get a season under my belt.
Having finished the first season, let me just say this: I get it. I get it now.
My first impressions of this show, were sort of so-so, to me. The first couple of episodes are pretty good. Human, experimental spacecraft, gets sucked through a wormhole into another galaxy. He gets picked up by a crew of escaped prisoners and joins them on the lam after he accidentally kills one of the local law enforcers (the Peacekeepers, as we come to find out.)
As a basic premise, it's pretty good. Sort of Quantum Leap meets Star Trek with a touch of Doctor Who and a few other sci-fi shows thrown in for good measure. The early delivery, however... Maybe it's because I watched too many episodes of Andromeda when I was younger but this feels a lot like that show blended with Stargate SG-1 (in their 'planet/monster of the week' type of episode- not the longer arcs, which are genuinely good.) So I wasn't sure if I was going to really dig in on this show. It was okay.
But then, episode ten comes along. 'They've Got A Secret' turns out to be a game-changer for this first season, because when their ship, Moya seemingly turns against them, the crew has to spend most of the episode figuring out why, and then they do: she's pregnant.
That got my attention. A sentient ship is an interesting enough idea, but one that can get pregnant? I'm in.
The rest of the season gets much stronger from there as we learn more and more about the characters on the ship what got them put in prison in the first place and what they're doing to escape their pasts. Zhaan (Virginia Hey) gets a nice moment with 'Rhapsody In Blue', 'Durka Returns' and sees Rygel (voiced by Jonathan Hardy) confront his interrogator/torturer, and a new shipmate named Chiana comes aboard. We learn more about D'Argo (Anthony Simcoe) and the quest to reunite with his son in ''Til The Blood Runs Clear' and 'The Flax'. (The ship, Moya is piloted by a creature known, funnily enough as Pilot (voiced by Lani Tupu)-- who is grafted into the ship's nervous system and essentially the voice of Moya to the rest of the crew.)
Aeryn Sun (Claudia Black), the ex-Peacekeeper forced to join the crew, and Crichton (Ben Browder), the astronaut sucked through the wormhole are sort of the core characters- so their arcs sort of run on and off throughout the first season. I do like that they're not in any hurry to put Aeryn and Crichton together- even though there's some romantic tension between them that's pretty obvious. (Even though I haven't seen the show, I've read enough about pop culture/sci-fi shows over the years to have learned that they do, in fact, end up together.)
The first season ends on a nice cliffhanger with a new big bad established- Scorpius (Wayne Pygram) and the old one, Crais (Lani Tupu), actually defecting to their side- even if does wind up double-crossing them and forcing Moya to flee, while D'Argo and Crichton are left floating in space with only Aeryn Sun to save them.
If you dig a little bit into this show, there are a lot of interesting things that jump out at you. First, Wikipedia calls it 'an Australian-American science fiction television series' which was originally produced for Australian TV before it was picked up by the Sci-Fi Channel to be part of their Sci-Fi Friday lineup (hey, does everyone remember when the Sci-Fi Channel used to have sci-fi shows on it? It's almost like remembering when MTV used to show actual music videos and not 1,345,344 episodes of Ridiculousness over and over again.) As a result of this, the majority of the cast is either Australian or New Zealander with Ben Browder being the sole American amongst the cast- so that kind of makes it unusual.
The second thing is that The Jim Henson Company is one of the producers-- so they're responsible for the various alien make-up and prosthetics you see, but two of the main characters- Rygel and Pilot are animatronic puppets that are entirely Creature Shop creations. I'm sure it was a minor deal at the time because animatronic anything is cool-- but these days, when even Yoda has become CGI, I really appreciate practical effects and both Rygel (who farts helium when he gets nervous) and Pilot are great additions to the show. Rygel is more mobile than Pilot, but you also don't see many moments of weirdness/fourth wall breaking like you do with Muppets who have to suddenly jump up or show all of their limbs or something like that. It's really well done.
Overall: I am very, very late to this particular party and I have to acknowledge the slow start, but by season's end, Farscape had convinced me: I'm on board for the rest of this ride. My Grade: *** out of ****.

Mechs Ships Tournament: Transport Bracket Round 1 Poll 5
The Silvana: A ship Doctor Carmilla spent some time on after leaving the Mechanisms. It apparently has a bad Wi-Fi connection, according to the Mechanisms fandom wiki. 
The Pandora: Another ship from the tumblr Mechanisms roleplay verse! She used to be known for acts of incredible violence, more a legend than something known as fact. Nowadays, she roams the galaxy with Heracles, among others, and has an ongoing relationship with the Völuspá, and with Briar Rose.

🌈✨ Chakra Talk: Blocked vs. Clear Energy Centers! ✨🌈
🚫 Blocked Chakras: 🚫
🔴 Root Chakra (Muladhara): When blocked, it's like feeling lost in the cosmic wilderness. Insecurity, financial stress, and lack of stability might dominate.
🟠 Sacral Chakra (Svadhisthana)Blockages lead to creative droughts and emotional rollercoasters. The river of inspiration runs dry.
🟡 Solar Plexus Chakra (Manipura): Blocked? Confidence takes a hit. Procrastination and self-doubt may rule your cosmic domain.
💚 0Heart Chakra (Anahata): Blockages can make you feel guarded. Love and compassion become distant stars in your universe.
🔵 Throat Chakra (Vishuddha):*lWhen blocked, expressing yourself feels like whispering in a cosmic vacuum. Communication issues may arise.
🟣 **Third-Eye Chakra (Ajna):** Lack of clarity, foggy intuition, and indecision cloud your path. It's like navigating through cosmic mist.
👑 **Crown Chakra (Sahasrara):** Blockages disconnect you from higher consciousness. It's like a cosmic Wi-Fi glitch, leaving you feeling spiritually adrift.
🌟 *Clear Chakras:* 🌟
🔴 **Root Chakra:** Grounded and secure, you're the cosmic oak rooted deep in Earth's wisdom. Stability and confidence flow like a river.
🟠 **Sacral Chakra:** Your creative spark ignites galaxies of inspiration. Emotions are a river of cosmic energy, flowing freely.
🟡 **Solar Plexus Chakra:** Self-assured and motivated, you shine like a cosmic sun. Confidence fuels your cosmic journey.
💚 **Heart Chakra:** Love radiates like a cosmic beacon. You're a compassionate universe, nurturing connections with every heartbeat.
🔵 **Throat Chakra:** Your voice echoes through the cosmos, clear and truthful. Expressing yourself is a cosmic symphony.
🟣 **Third-Eye Chakra:** Intuition guides you through the cosmic maze. Clarity and insight shine like celestial stars.
👑 **Crown Chakra:** Connected to higher realms, you're in cosmic harmony. The universe's wisdom flows through you like a cosmic river.
Which chakra vibes with you today? 🌈✨ #ChakraClearing #CosmicBalance #EnergyFlow

Stargazing
Fic request from @yelenayasss. I know it took forever to write this so thank you for waiting! Hope you enjoy (and I’ll do my best to not take so long if you have other requests in the future!)
Here is the link to it on AO3 too.
Tumblr media
Chosen yawned as he walked down out onto the desktop towards the Wi-Fi portal.
He glanced down and saw the time on the desktop read just after midnight.
“Chosen?”
Chosen jolted in surprise and turned to see Yellow.
“What are you doing up so late?” Yellow asked curiously.
Chosen gave Yellow a slight smile; there was Redstone dust on her face except for a goggle-shaped spot around her eyes.
“Couldn’t sleep. What about you?”
“I uh…should sleep,” Yellow sighed. “Been working on some Redstone projects.”
”I’m glad you were wearing your goggles,” Chosen said. “Are you alright?”
Yellow chuckled.
“It wasn’t too bad,” she said. “Thanks though!”
Yellow glanced around the desktop curiously for a moment.
“Were you going somewhere?”
“There’s a place I like to visit when I can’t sleep,” Chosen said. “You’ve been there…it’s that spot by the ocean outside of Stick City.”
Yellow nodded, raising her eyebrows a bit.
“I could show you if you like,” Chosen said. “Unless you’re going to do band practice with the others soon.”
“No, not tonight…uh, well…it’s technically morning now, isn’t it?” Yellow chuckled sheepishly.
Chosen opened the portal and gestured.
“I’ll carry you,” he said.
Yellow nodded and Chosen picked her carefully up.
“You’ll still be able to fly carrying me?”
Chosen nodded.
“I can fly with flames from my hands or feet,” he said. “It’ll be a little jerky to start, but it’ll get smoother after we take off.”
Yellow slipped her arms around Chosen’s neck.
“Ready?”
“Ready.”
Chosen smiled reassuringly and stepped into the portal.
Yellow kept her eyes closed for the whole flight, only opening them when Chosen touched down.
“We’re here,” Chosen said, setting Yellow down carefully. “You feel okay?”
“I’m just a bit dizzy,” Yellow said. “Better than the first time we all came here though.”
Chosen nodded and gazed out at the moon that was rising.
“Sorry,” Yellow mumbled after a bit. “Shouldn’t have brought that up.”
“It’s hard not to, considering where we are,” Chosen said. “I brought you here, so you’re alright.”
He glanced at the moon again.
“I come here every now and then when I can’t sleep.”
Yellow turned and gazed out at the sea, where the moon was making the water glow.
“I can see why,” she remarked. “The view is lovely.”
“This is the first place Dark and I found after escaping Alan’s desktop,” Chosen said. “We were busy finding somewhere safe at first, but a few days later we just sat watching the ocean until the sun went down. Then we watched the stars for a long time.”
Yellow laid back in the cool grass and stared up at the stars.
“I’ve never stargazed like this,” she said. “Sometimes I try stargazing in Minecraft, but it’s hard to sit still for long because of all the Mobs.”
“It’s safe here,” Chosen said. “I’ve explored all over and it’s just forest all around the city. I saw animals sometimes, but they didn’t ever bother me.”
“That’s good,” Yellow laughed. “Most of them are probably asleep now, I’ll bet.”
“Probably,” Chosen agreed with a little grin.
“Hey, look…that’s the Milky Way Galaxy up there,” Yellow said, pointing. “You can see it even in the city. Stick City technicians control the weather and sky mainframes and can make stars appear even though the city lights block them out on the Outside.”
“I’ve never seen them from the city,” Chosen said.
“We could go together sometime,” Yellow said. “Only if you’re comfortable with it.”
Yellow gasped suddenly.
“A shooting star!”
They watched the stars and were silent for a while.
“I used to see a lot of those,” Chosen said when they didn’t see any more. “Lately I haven’t been coming out here as frequently.”
“We’ve all been busy, haven’t we?” Yellow asked.
“Mmhm,” Chosen said. “But it’s better to stargaze with someone.”
“Yeah, it is!” Yellow agreed.
“I’m glad I came to the desktop,” Chosen said. “Even though I wasn’t very enthusiastic about it back then.”
“I’m glad too!” Yellow chimed. “We could finally help you a little in return for helping us.”
“It was more than a little,” Chosen said. “I wouldn’t be here if not for all of you…and you especially.”
“Me?” Yellow asked, looking puzzled.
“It’s thanks to you that Alan was here to help,” Chosen said. “You figured out how to use the computer in no time.”
“Oh, well…” Yellow said, laughing a bit and glancing away. “Someone had to do something. I’m glad I got it to work!”
Chosen looked back up at the sky, letting out a small sigh.
Yellow glanced over, then slowly took Chosen’s hand.
“I don’t want you to be lonely,” she said. “I’d love to come out here anytime you want to.”
Chosen gave Yellow’s hand a little squeeze a moment later.
“I’ve learned some constellations recently,” he said. “Want to pick out all the ones we can?”
“I’d love to!” Yellow said. “I want to finally use what I’ve been reading in all the astronomy books at the library.”
“I’ve only read books online so far,” Chosen said. “I want to try going there in person sometime. I think it’d be good.”
“I’ll show you around!” Yellow said, beaming. “We’ll get you a library card too.”
“Library card?” Chosen frowned curiously.
“If you have one you can check out books and take them home,” Yellow explained. “We’ve all got one. We’ll get you one tomorrow if you want to go then.”
“Yeah…let’s do that,” Chosen said. “Maybe we should go back and get some sleep if we’re going to have an outing though.”
“Mm…good idea!” Yellow said. “We can do some reading tomorrow and then come back here in the evening.”
“Ready?” Chosen asked, and Yellow nodded.
Chosen scooped her up and took off, flying slowly so she could watch the stars.
Before Chosen reached the portal back to Alan’s desktop Yellow had drifted off to sleep with her head resting against his chest.
