Ok, I hads a questioning about the shiny new FAQ, pertaining to the memory crystal experiments.
When someone freezes it and the crystal does the expansion thing, how long does the sleep last? I'm assuming it lasts the 36 hours the crystal is big and wears off after the crystal shrinks, but I just wanted to check.
And when someone boils a crystal resulting in flash-blinding everyone in the area, how long does the blindness last? Until the memory is over, or until the three days of radioactivity-weirdness passes?
I have some questions about Edensphere's bird life! It's... sort of retroactive since Cara has had a bluebird friend for a while now, but since I'm planning a log in the near distant future where she actually talks to someone about it, I should. probably find out for sure. And since Cara is a speshul goddamn snowflake able to talk to animals, these things might come up.
1. Do Edensphere's gigantor birds winter over in the Sphere, or do they go elsewhere until spring? 2. Do they ever fly in and out of the hole in the top? 3. Do they have nests and raise families? Also, do they get old and die in the Sphere?
If the answers to any of these questions don't line up with what birds actually do, I don't think it'd become meta because the bird is... a bird and doesn't have the mental capacity to wonder about the weirdness or answer any questions about it, but it's certainly something for the hoominz to wonder about.
First, you may want to watch this log as Kurayami and Apple are about to discover just how dangerous it is at the top.
The higher Rogue gets to the top of the tree, the greater the chance he will have of being attacked by giant birds, squirrels and bugs. You need special mod permission to breach the very top of the sphere. As stated in our FAQ: "the result may severely damage your character's mental state afterward via a fourth wall breaking revelation". The chances of character death are high. But if this is something you wish to explore, please feel free to contact a mod directly.
So what with one thing or another, Handmaiden is going to try and get some Sphere infos in a place other than the Library--because let's face it, spending an afternoon doing research there is like an afternoon of reading Youtube comments. With glitter.
I was thinking of having her go to the Post Office, as it's not difficult to reach and so far not a whole lot has been done there. Is there anything special or interesting she could find besides the stuff listed on the World Map page?
Handmaiden will get the impression that someone had just left- she'll see a box of markers and colored pens on a desk, with a few tubes of glitter-glue. Written on the chalkboard in rainbow chalk are the words "Ding-dong, the witch is dead!", and above the word "witch" is a frowny-face in white chalk. There are various smudges on the board, all obliterating drawings and writing- the two that are still partially legible are the latters "A--le -eas-o-!" and "2+2=???".
I've been thinking about having Asuka try and break through the sphere, from the top I mean. You guys okay with it, and umm... What kind of back-fire exactly will she get?
Should Asuka decide to make a go for the top of the sphere, you should know in advance that there really is no top of the sphere, as mentioned in our World-Map FAQ. The top of the glass is cut-away for the tree to grow through, providing an opening without requiring characters to try and break the glass! If you would like Asuka to try and break the glass, just let us know and we can discuss that!
Assuming Asuka will jump/shunpo/whatever it is shinigami do up the tree branches, she will meet resistance along the way, most notably in the form of giant blue-jays defending their nest and trying to make a meal out of Asuka for their babies. Asuka can escape, but if she reaches the top she will be killed, requiring a three-day waiting period before rebirth, a loss, and a new birth dream to be written.
So which one are you looking to do, so we can work out the details?
Oh, yes. She will try to break it. So, I'm guessing maybe we could IM about it?
Hmm, I don't think I want her dead just yet. Maybe in the future? Well, is it possible for her to simply escape the giant blue-jays then reach the glass but lose consciousness?
As said, there is no glass at the top of the sphere, so Asuka will have to find another area and a way to reach the glass if she wishes to destroy it. If she plans to stand on a branch and attack it, theoretically she would be close enough to the hole in the top of the glass to just crawl through.
Should Asuka lose consciousness while being attacked by blue-jays, however, she will be killed by them, as a warning. She can reach the glass and be killed, or she can retreat and her life be spared. The wild animals in the upper branches of the tree are hostile and prone to attacking any resident that enters their territory.
The only other option I can see is if she is knocked out and plummets down from where she had been fighting the glass, though that would likely lead to severe injury.

Good question! The blindness fades slowly over the next three days and is completely gone by the end of it.

1) Yes the massive birds migrate like real birds do. However--
2) Nobody knows where they go. They don't appear to come in and out of the top but on the other hand they're not here in the winter. /shrugs
3) There may be evidence of nests but no they do not have families and they do not grow old and die.
I hope that helps! You can contact me directly for more info, it'll probably be faster.

She will also find a hairclip with Hello Kitty on it on the floor, next to the desk.

Thanks in advanced!
