27 ♐ Video ♐ Loss and Gain
[It's sometime at the end of Friday that Darkleer makes this post. He didn't want to ruin the festival for anyone beforehand, but now that it's coming to close, he thinks it's a decent time. For once, Darkleer is appearing on the network without his glasses willingly. He's honestly an open book without them- blue on yellow eyes filled with a bit of sadness, loss, and tiredness. Normally he wouldn't take off his glasses for anything, but- she was his auspitice. She deserves his all, even if...]
Princess Zelda of Hyrule is no long in Vatheon. I imagine many of you knew her, as she was well engaged in much of the community, including the Welcoming Committee and crafting the tunics which assist in breathing underwater. It is also thanks to her that we have been able to find out more about our situation trapped in Vatheon. She was an excellent leader, a keen and intelligent woman, and the finest auspitice one could have asked for. We will all be blessed if she is brought back to Vatheon at some point in the future, yet even if not, we were all fortunate to have her in our midst. I doubt I can take her place, but if you have any questions about Vatheon and its purpose, I will do my best to answer you.
Coincidentally, if there is anyone in Vatheon who possesses a calm head, knows how to settle disputes evenly, and isn't afraid of clowns, please contact me.
Mr. Captor, I would also like to speak with you.
[There's a moment of silence, and then he takes a breath before reaching down for his glasses. He puts them on again and feels the better for it.]
With all of that said, Vatheon, I would like to make you all an offer. In order for this to make sense, however, please allow me to explain a device known as a syalladex.
[Behind Darkleer, what almost looks like a stack of pecular cards pops into existence. The top one seems to show a picture of a bag of bird seed.]
On Alternia, every troll has a sylladex, which is a storage system you carry with you everywhere. It is composed of captchalogue cards which are organized into a deck, a fetch modus, and a strife deck.
The captchalogue cards are where you store your items. You can often find them for sale in the Nostalgia Quarter. The number of items you can hold in your sylladex depends on the number of cards you have, although you can store multiple objects in one card so long as they are similar in nature or purpose.
[He gestures to his deck, which seems to shuffle until another card is on the front. Are those.... Is it a picture full of robotic hoofbeasts? Yes. Yes it is.]
You should be warned that if you do such a thing, then you must bring out all of the items stored on the card even if you wish to retrieve just one.
The size of the item you wish to store is limited, and I would not recommend attempting to store your hive in it. That would be silly. However, depending on the type and quality of your sylladex, you can store large items in it. If you are not sure what kind of items you are capable of storing inside of it, please contact me and I will advise you.
Now we will move onto the Fetch Modus portion of the sylladex. Fetch modi are the methods in which your cards are organized and in what fashion you can retrieve them. There are a variety of fetch modi, as many prefer something which suits their personality or preferences. For the purpose of this demonstration, I have equipped my sylladex with the Array fetch modus, which allows me to pull an item from any of my cards without much fuss. You can equip your sylladex with multiple fetch modi if you so choose. For example, I often use this particular fetch modus.
[He kind of just... reaches over to grab his cards, fiddles with the back for a second, and- pop! The cards are now a different color, what do you know. The deck shuffles again until the card shows, for a moment, a stack of freshly laundered towels. It then immediately shows a screen of a chalkboard with what appears to be a very complex math equation. Darkleer lets it be shown for just a moment before seeming to nod slightly and out pop a whole pile of towels.]
I will attach a document with this broadcast with a list and explanation of a few more fetch modi types. This is not a complete list, and if you have a different idea for a kind of fetch modus that would suit you, I am willing to listen.
Lastly, we have the strife deck, which contains its own specibus. This is where you store the weapons you use for battle, although it should be noted that a deck only contains one particular weapon of its kind.
I am explaining this to all of you because I have made quite a few sylladice during my stay in Vatheon for a few individuals not from Alternia. After the disaster of the flooding, I thought it would be prudent to distribute them out.
If you are interested in possessing a sylladex, please respond to this broadcast and we can work out the details. If you wish to pay me in some manner, I will accept it.
[After the post completes itself, a document containing a list of different kinds of fetch modi becomes available.]

Private
[Minutes later, he will see her turn the corner and make her way towards his hive. True to her word, she is lugging the large cat-plush in her arms. She offers a sympathetic smile as she finally makes it to the porch.]
Hey.
Private
[A small wave.]
Ah, let's hurry to my room, before the children see... [It's embarrassing to let your sons know you are going to have a feelings jam ok]
Action (excuse my fail, been a busy week.)
[She returns his wave with a nod of the head and another look of sympathy and then lets him lead the way into the hive. It was not as embarrassing for the oliveblood, but her daughter usually know what was going on in regards to her mamacat's quadrants even if she tried to hide it.]
Action (same here man)
[He takes her quickly through the messy hive, all feathers and horns and robot parts. His respite block is better only in that it's not filled with as many horns, and the feathers are only Dural's white ones nestled in her corner. He looks a bit awkward for a moment.]
I, ah, tried to clear some space in the center...
Action
[Said a little wistful, considering the circumstances. Then plop goes the large catplush as she drops it in the center of the room. She pats down a spot in the center, then steps back, giving her moirail space.]
Alright, you first.
Action
[Tentatively moving as usual, he settles as best he can onto the cat plush. There's a part of him that feels he should fidget go get more comfortable, but he just doesn't seem to have the energy for it, if that even makes sense. He waits for her to come down with him as well.]
Action
[She scans the room, looking for a blanket of some kind. Fining one, she will retrieve it, and curl up on the pile, next to, and slightly on top of, him. She nuzzles into him, wrapping the blanket as best she can around the two of them.]
There. All better.
Action
[He, very tentatively, cuddles back. She's just a bit warmer than him, really, but to a highblood like him, that means a world of difference. For a moment, he just stays as he is.]
I've... always been well aware of how this place functions. But she seemed like she was so much more permanent...
Action
[She continues to hold him, trying her best to shield him protectively like a mother lion. Not easy when the cub was three to four times her size.]
Her home... where she came from... was it a happy place?
action
I'm not sure... I believe it had its troubles, but- I was able to visit a proxy of it, during a dream curse. She wanted to rebuild and save so much... Perhaps it is good, in some ways, that she was able to return.
action
It is her home after all. I am certain there are those back home that she missed, those that were dear to her. It might be good for her to be home for awhile. Who knows, she might even come back someday, and we will be ready for her with open arms.
