[undone harbor]

Just some basic things you need to know

[south bobcat]

Wow

[undone harbor]

I came back to say HOW CAN NO ONE POINT OUR SKY AND YURI ON ICE RELEASED TEASERS IN THE SAME MONTH WITH THE SAME TOPIC OF FIGURE SKATING

[bitter shale]

Wat@

Hol up

YOI got a movie???

[icy spruce]

WHHHHHHHHHHAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAATTTT

OH HOW THE TABLES HAS TURNED

GEN CHAT IS BECOMING LORE CHATT

[rose gorge]

omg really

[icy spruce]

YESSS

[rose gorge]

IT REALLT IS

[icy spruce]

IKR

AAAAAAAAAAAAA

[keen kettle]

I just ralized one thing, guys. Skids are left handed. All of them

[icy spruce]

O-

[fast jasper]

OOh

[brisk python]

Have you ever thought why the rain doesn't bother nor hurt the mantas (creatures of light) but it does hurt us (children of light)?

[hushed steeple]

Because we are half dark and light or some ratio of that and that makes us susceptible to being filled more with either light or dark like when we go to the corresponding areas which in both cases is shoving some of the other force out henceforth making room for the absorbing force but we do bleed out the light sooo maybe im wrong im probably wrong anyway lol i make wierd connection that most likely never make sense

[north elk]

I think that actually makes sense

[north elk]

WHAT

AHHHH???

Ok this is sky discussion but thanks for the notify

[north elk]

I have a theory idk if someone ever thought about

What if the home space is part of orbit? Like you have a portal to go back home but you don’t have a portal to go back to orbit

Also you have exactly the same constellation pattern in the home space where you can see the constellations and in orb

And that’s the same constellation of eden

Are we a bi-product of eden and the light? We have the crown constellation? Are we the king? Like we fell down from the sky, like we did from eden when coming back home after orbit, like the new memory upgrade for the come here spirit looks very much like us falling into home space? Are we reliving our first memory?
We are half light half darkness, and we ascended the crystals together with the elders which let to the demise of the sky world

Idk I’m just full of ideas @_@

[lethal stump]

have you read the theory doc ? some of your questions are talked about, you could add your thoughts as well

[north elk]

Yeah I checked them

[north elk]

Did anybody mention this yet tho?

[lethal stump]

nope, you can be the first

[north elk]

Uhhhhh

[hushed steeple]

Possibly. Orbit is in the air and skids hit home when descending from orbit by traveling down to it.

So it's like,

Home is orbit but on land

Idk how to explain

[north elk]

Yes

I thought that

Like the base of orbit

And the other part is on top, after eden

Yes I actually understood that while playing now when I got to the home space

[pulsar iris]

So you’re saying orbit is a liminal space?

[north elk]

Yes kinda

Seems like so

[exotic reef]

is orbit nonorientable?

[north elk]

Yes I think so except you usually go to one direction when leaving eden

To arrive at the constellation part

[queen locust]

i had to look up that word and realized this was a geometry thing too late-

[hushed steeple]

I can't with geokeyy

Geometry

[north elk]

Which ever makes sense

[queen locust]

same I think I almost failed every math class I've ever had since middle school-

[hushed steeple]

Same

More of a literature person

[queen locust]

you know what- same-

i got slightly more context to this so uh- was the gist of it Home= an Earthly Orbit?

[hushed steeple]

personal headcanon all the seasonal candles have a different scent based on the season

YES

I LIKE THAT

[lyric isle]

Good news that I’m growing more accustomed to calling krill organic

[hushed steeple]

What scent do you think each candle has? I'm so curious

[lyric isle]

I’m getting used to it at last

[hushed steeple]

at least one gotta be pumpkin spice

Whichever seasonal candle is orange

So

This season's candles?

alternate headcanon they all smell like pumpkin spice

Imma look up each season's candles colors

[queen locust]

lightskewer candles are blueberry scented fight me

[hushed steeple]

Okay Google doesn't give much results

[queen locust]

hold on imma skim through the wiki then

but I distinctly remember Lightskewers being royal blue

[hushed steeple]

what about rain scent?

:O

[rapid juniper]

Well uhm

[queen locust]

Sky: Bath and Body Works

[hushed steeple]

PFFFFF

Welcome to bath and body works

[rapid juniper]

XD

[hushed steeple]

Bath and Body Works: Oops! All Candles Edition

Xbhhahahsuashhshssh

[rapid juniper]

Hm right ,sorry late reply it’s buried in the sea of messages

[queen locust]

GRATITUDE- Bronze
LIGHTSKEWERS- Royal Blue
BELONGING-
RHYTHM-
ENCHANTMENT-
SANCTUARY- Golden-Orange
PROPHECY- Orange

god Pol you're right the wiki ain't helping

imma check on youtube instead gimme a sec

[rapid juniper]

Well all of them is the same color except lightskewers

[queen locust]

And Gratitude- it's a weird Bronze

[rapid juniper]

Not really but I cant remember the color of it

[hushed steeple]

Gratitude - Cinnamon
Lightseekers - Blueberry maple pancakes
Belonging, rhythm, enchant- ??????
Sanctuary - Vanilla
Prophecy - Pumpkin spice

[rapid juniper]

Why is it called lightskewers tho

[queen locust]

Proph QG: mmm yes- smells like p r o p h e c y

[queen locust]

uhhhh chat gag

[hushed steeple]

What if prophecy candle scents change to represent each element

[queen locust]

you can never tell with the color tho so one minute it smells like rainwater and then the other one smells like the fiery depths of hell

[hushed steeple]

Yes

[queen locust]

wait what would a i r smell like

[primal verge]

Hey guys I have a question

We, skids, are fine with being underwater. But are spirits?

Is there or has there ever been a spirit with its memories partially underwater?

[hushed steeple]

Uhhhhhh

[queen locust]

and would earth just smell like dirt

[hushed steeple]

I'm gonna think about candle flavors hold on

[queen locust]

bro they're not EATING the candles-

also not as far as I recall-

Spirits being underwater-

[primal verge]

I'm writing a fictional season that will take place underwater. That's why I asked

[queen locust]

Ohhhh- wait that does kind of beg the question- can Water Proph swim

[primal verge]

The ultimate reward for the season is a spirit manta cape(transparent)

[hushed steeple]

Air flavor would smell let whatever this smells like

[queen locust]

it smells like saltwater and my impending tropical doom

i like it-

[hushed steeple]

Earth would smell like

[queen locust]

you know what we should do- run a candle business a la Pointing Candlemaker

[hushed steeple]

Yes

[icy spruce]

yes

[hushed steeple]

Hello ch sca

[icy spruce]

hallo

[queen locust]

Heya Chesca wanna help run the candle business

[hushed steeple]

Candle business gang

[icy spruce]

sure

[queen locust]

okay back to that question about spirits swimming though-

[hushed steeple]

What if we changed our names to candle business ppl or smth

[queen locust]

CAN they swim?

[hushed steeple]

Yes

Brb

[queen locust]

aw shoot I'm a candle dealer now

candealer

[icy spruce]

I- ok

[hushed steeple]

Candlear

Candlelear

Spirits can't swim but they probably could before they died

Idk how ectoplasm reacts to water but I'm assuming it just goes through water

[queen locust]

wait why the ectoplasm

[hushed steeple]

Ghosts are made of ectoplasm

[queen locust]

Oh-

[icy spruce]

huh

[queen locust]

I was tryna think back to some of the spirits that might have had some sort of affinity for water but not even the Sanc spirits on vacation really swim

[icy spruce]

true-

[queen locust]

There's some of the Hidden Forest spirits but they don't really have wide pools to swim in

People who work on the docks and the construction of boats don't suggest that they know how to swim- much less go underwater

but most of them are chonky so maybe they rely on their buoyancy idk

[icy spruce]

preolly

*prolly

[teal orbit]

wut is going on....

[queen locust]

bath and body works and can spirits swim lmao

[teal orbit]

oh.

oh well

imma go make the krill script now

[queen locust]

other than that chat's kinda ded

[teal orbit]

u guys shower me with more krill theories...

[queen locust]

...god brb I have a lit quiz

[burnt drum]

Is the Sanctuary mural in the Jellyfish Cave a bug?

I'm getting confused here.

[icy spruce]

yes it is

[burnt drum]

aside from chesca's opinion or answer

[icy spruce]

That somehow survived multiple updates

[burnt drum]

I saw something proving that it's not a bug

but I lost it

[icy spruce]

@teal orbit hey, so someone is asking about the sanc bug mural. I need your answer

Sorry for the ping Pyre-

But if you go to the search bar

And look for Sanc bug mural

You'll see messages 'bout it being a bug

[burnt drum]

officially confused again

[lethal stump]

it’s a bug

[burnt drum]

let me ask somethin'

im confused runs away

[icy spruce]

it's ok

[lethal stump]

just ask your questions and we can do our best to answer

not all questions have answers

[icy spruce]

A lot of people get's confused 'bout the bugged sanc mural

[lethal stump]

but most have some semblance of an answer

[icy spruce]

yep

[queen locust]

i see we're talking about the bugged sanc mural

time to take a water shot

[icy spruce]

yep

brb-

[hushed steeple]

Hi.

[icy spruce]

hallo

Lore chat got krilled by Sanc bug mural :((

[hushed steeple]

I don't know which mur-

[queen locust]

[hushed steeple]

GSJJFSAHDFJAFKGAKGAJAGAG

[queen locust]

[queen locust]

GW Elder: long live the King

[hushed steeple]

Jxgjgzhfzx

[queen locust]

Prenc: y e e t

[icy spruce]

NOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO-

[hushed steeple]

The elders just standing there like: ok. This is normal

[teal orbit]

huh? why dya need my answer?

[queen locust]

Vault Elder: just another Monday

[hushed steeple]

I see chonky elder

[icy spruce]

It's already solved. Appearantly someone was talking about the Sanc bug mural and then I pointed out it's a bug and then they went to lore chat to clarify it.

[hushed steeple]

That mural shows that compared to them: we are really, really tiny-

[icy spruce]

Anyways, sorry if I had to ping you-

[teal orbit]

its ok

hence my name lol

[icy spruce]

Ok, thank goodness I though ya'll are not fine with pings-

Anyways, l o r e

[teal orbit]

krill theories

[icy spruce]

Ok

[teal orbit]

oh hey chesca dya wanna write the script for season 2?

[icy spruce]

sure

[teal orbit]

i`ll check for grammar tho lol

[icy spruce]

I have some ideas for the krill one

[teal orbit]

ok

plz ask for editing access @icy spruce

[icy spruce]

mk-

Wait where-

[teal orbit]

the nat geo doc

https://docs.google.com/document/d/1YwQ4EKsPLyhk9VN5hw43XqFX-7xTdoBE0nGGCnn51L4/edit

[icy spruce]

Oh ok

[hushed steeple]

@teal orbit doc needs to be public still

Unless you intentionally have it set for ppl to request to view it

[icy spruce]

The only krill theories I remembered so far are the Krill are machines and Krills are the adult version of Dark worms-

[teal orbit]

krill arent machines tho...

i`ll provide the theories

u just record them plz lol

[teal orbit]

this is a script lol

[hushed steeple]

Doc as in Google document

[queen locust]

idk if this convo really needs to be taken to lore chat if you're making arrangements for something

[teal orbit]

ik
the doc is a script lol

[hushed steeple]

Bruh

[teal orbit]

its for sky geo

this is the script doc

we r editing

[queen locust]

i realize that but this seems like a project that's limited to you guys

wouldn't it be easier in a DM?

[teal orbit]

if u wanna u can join

[hushed steeple]

This

[teal orbit]

is there a way to make everyone able to edit it?

or is that the default setting

idk

[queen locust]

Yep- in the share settings

[hushed steeple]

Yeah

Do I need to do a demonstration

In dms

[teal orbit]

like editing rights?

i only see viewing and copy paste rights...

[hushed steeple]

Wha-

Copy paste righ-

[teal orbit]

can i make it possible for anyone to edit the doc?

[hushed steeple]

I think y'all should def go to dms for this

[queen locust]

Or like- make a private server specifically for this

[teal orbit]

ok

[lethal stump]

or friend each other and make a group dm

[icy spruce]

yea

[hushed steeple]

Ye

So anyway, what are we talking about-

[icy spruce]

idk-

[hushed steeple]

Oh

W e l p

[queen locust]

It was the Sanc mural but uh- we've already established that it's a bug

[icy spruce]

yep

[hushed steeple]

Yea

I'm pretty sure the elders couldn't have been cut in half

[queen locust]

speaking of the Elders can they swim-

[icy spruce]

lmao-

I-

[hushed steeple]

Hmm

[icy spruce]

hmmmmmmmmmmmmmmmm

[hushed steeple]

Swim in what type of waters

[queen locust]

Just- in general

Are they able to swim

[hushed steeple]

Uhhh

Maybe

[lethal stump]

i’d imagine so ?

i don’t see why they wouldn’t

[hushed steeple]

There is a possibility that they can actually swim-

But we have no evidence whatsoever-

Swimming-

[rapid juniper]

Waht

[hushed steeple]

In the stars

[queen locust]

Orbit DOES have water for some reason

[hushed steeple]

But they're higher above

When we summon them for hair we can see

They come from higher above

Unless they come down to swim-

[queen locust]

it's a star pool- who wouldn't wanna wade in a star pool-

[hushed steeple]

Me-

Just let me be reborn i don't wanna spend time in the stars with a pool that probably extends on forever and a random staircase for me to sit and talk to no one.

And a very bright obnoxious portal

[queen locust]

orbit is just an existential anxiety pool

[hushed steeple]

What if that existed irl

And one day one someone's space travels, they found it

I will not even touch that water

[sinful anvil]

at first i thought orbit is just this giant cosmos and a showcase of the life source in sky-verse, and then someone i cant remember say its like a womb.

and im like, holy cow!

[hushed steeple]

Wait i just realised something

Why is it called Season of Dreams if you're only helping to fulfill one dream.

Season of dream

[rapid juniper]

Fulfill a lot of dreams there I guess

Like uhhhhhh

[queen locust]

It DOES take a village-

Plus consider the context- this is a girl from the slums who's beloved by her village and has a grandiose dream that she will likely never achieve in any normal circumstance

[rapid juniper]

I-

[hushed steeple]

Which is one dream

[rapid juniper]

Also us

[queen locust]

Who knows- it might be that carrying out this dream, she's carrying the dreams of the ones who'd helped her get to where she wants to be

[hushed steeple]

Whats our dream-?

[hushed steeple]

Oki

Our dream is to stop dying every week

[rapid juniper]

Idk o

[rapid juniper]

Well my dream is to just have all pants

[hushed steeple]

I meant our skids dream

[rapid juniper]

Hm

[queen locust]

my skid's dream is nice pants

jk jk-

[rapid juniper]

I-

[hushed steeple]

I mean our skid's dream is....uh-

[icy spruce]

My skids dream is to have nice capes

[queen locust]

Can skids have aspirations beyond their original purpose?

[icy spruce]

no idea

[hushed steeple]

Idk

[queen locust]

Are they mentally developed enough to have aspirations?

[hushed steeple]

Can they actually feel-

[rapid juniper]

Yes

[queen locust]

They can feel fear ye- and have basic understanding of empathy if we go by the Elder cutscenes

[hushed steeple]

I guess

[rapid juniper]

Well

[hushed steeple]

Hmm

[queen locust]

well I just got off of classes and now I have free time until lunch let's do this-

[hushed steeple]

They can feel shock in Teth's cut scene

[rapid juniper]

Yes

Well uh

[hushed steeple]

Uhh

[queen locust]

In Isle Elder's and Vault Elder's cutscene, they feel like they know what it was that they were sent down to do

[rapid juniper]

Yes

[hushed steeple]

The voice

[queen locust]

In GW Elder's cutscene, they're able to express concern

[rapid juniper]

Yes

[icy spruce]

yes

[rapid juniper]

Yes

[hushed steeple]

Old chonk elder

[queen locust]

And in Valley Elders' cutscene apparently they know how to play catch

[hushed steeple]

But suck at it

[queen locust]

and idk what the heck Prairie Elder's supposed to show them

[rapid juniper]

Well the skid is

[queen locust]

Wonder?

Awe?

[hushed steeple]

Ok, butterfly

[rapid juniper]

Maybe to wake praire elder up

[queen locust]

idk what that butterfly was supposed to mean-

'get inside the pot Baxter'

[hushed steeple]

I totally have never seen a butterfly before

[rapid juniper]

Lmaoa yes

[queen locust]

So to recap I guess they have basic empathy and communication skills and are ultimately motivated by their purpose

[rapid juniper]

Hmhmbmhnhnhmhmh

[hushed steeple]

I am in awe. I totally did not see the hundreds of butterflies that exist in prairie

"Old man, I think you need to start thinking about your pension plan"

[queen locust]

"prepare for rubble"

[hushed steeple]

"Look, its you"

[queen locust]

"there's more of these if you're interested"

[hushed steeple]

"Holy -, you just stole from a child"

[rapid juniper]

Yes

[queen locust]

"well- aren't you the offspring of the devil"

[rapid juniper]

I-

[hushed steeple]

"You're like one of those old hags reading tarot cards"

"I didn't know ghibli had a collaboration with sky"

[queen locust]

okay where were we-

[hushed steeple]

Lmao

Idk

[queen locust]

before the mods rain doom on us all-

oh right can skids have dreams

[hushed steeple]

Uh

[queen locust]

For the most part I don't think they can dream

[hushed steeple]

I don't think either

[queen locust]

Or have goals beyond their initial purpose

[hushed steeple]

Mhm

[queen locust]

I guess if you gave them enough time MAYBE they'll develop more cognitive abilities over time

But for now we're stuck in a loop

[hushed steeple]

Yup

And the skid be like: a normal sunday

Heading straight for death

[queen locust]

Skid: this is fine

[hushed steeple]

We should discuss the "pity room"

[queen locust]

Pity room?

[hushed steeple]

The one you get sent to when you somehow lose all your wl

Sit in rain for 30 minutes

[queen locust]

oh that pity room- first time I saw it I always thought it was technically the same one from Eden

[hushed steeple]

Get tossed around in the krill playground

[queen locust]

But because we haven't completed our missions just yet we're not able to ascend

my god this ramen's taking too long

And yet I'm not sure if that's the same shiny boi every time we're sent there

Maybe it's a case where like 'okay I know we told you your mission was basically to die but not here okay' and they yeeted you back to the living realm

You only get hugging privileges in Eden-

[hushed steeple]

[queen locust]

Heya Kokichi

[hushed steeple]

Cmon, I've hugged you 10 times already

The skid: just repeatedly dying

Also my skid: boogie dances in front of shiny boi

Imagine hugging the shiny boi halfway then letting go

Has anyone ever reported the sanc bug mural?

Wait I wanna check if its in beta but I don't got my other device with me

Oof

[queen locust]

I've been told it's a low-priority bug and that's why it's survived for so long-

It's not game breaking- or maybe it is lore-wise but it's not like it's capable of crashing the game

[icy spruce]

true

[hushed steeple]

But it was meant to be a mural somewhere right? Why did they make it in the first place?

[rapid juniper]

Hm right

[hushed steeple]

Its just- apparently cut into hal-

[rapid juniper]

Hm

[hushed steeple]

I think it was supposed to be part of a larger thing

On a larger wall-

Part of a larger mura-

[sinful anvil]

yea giving us a choice to hug the boi is sometimes a mistake bc some skykids can be mischievious for the hell of it ...
like if higher intelligence falls in the wrong hands, they might deny their destiny

its wild that whoever decides to send us doesnt stop us from it

[hushed steeple]

From wha-

[sinful anvil]

from choosing to not doing what we’re meant to do

[hushed steeple]

The skid would rather stay with a shiny boi in a pitch black room forever?

They will do it eventually

[sinful anvil]

i meant the narrator just thinks we might pursue our destiny when some sky players would just go boogie in the dark room or go nope at the shiny

[hushed steeple]

Basically me

But I still hug the boi

[sinful anvil]

what if they do for the hell of it

[hushed steeple]

Why-

Fine then.

Stay there

[sinful anvil]

mm no reason..?

[hushed steeple]

See them when the next season comes out and they're in a pitch black room-

[sinful anvil]

yea technically u can choose to do that but its unfavorable

[supple sluice]

It's been a while

[hushed steeple]

Who would wanna suffer in a room-

[supple sluice]

How has everyone been

[hushed steeple]

Ok

[supple sluice]

Oke

[hushed steeple]

Megan be like: u better hug the kid

[supple sluice]

Pffg

[icy spruce]

And I be like: Nah, COVID

[hushed steeple]

Covid doesn't exist in sky

Or does it

[supple sluice]

I-

In that case we're doing a bad job

[hushed steeple]

Everyone wearing masks tomorrow

Is chibi mask counted as a mask-

Cos its called a mask-

So anyway

Let's talk about........

Uh

Uh-

Crabs-

Crabs were normal at first then they were corrupted by darkness right?

There are tame crabs in sanc

And the ark mural shows tame crabs too

So imma assume they were corrupted

That means a lot of crabs used to live in gw-

Whats for breakfast: crabs

Whats for lunch: crabs

Whats for dinner: crabs

[pastel brook]

Mods? WHERE?!

[queen locust]

On crabs I think they just live wherever the hell they happen to be-

And the corruption probably isn't corruption at all, it might have been natural to some and maybe some crabs just aren't affiliated with darkness

Maybe it also has to do with their environment

Because the tame Sanc crabs are exposed to clear sunlight, that sort of thing

[hushed steeple]

Lore doc says crabs move like something and that something is a hint at what they are. Ark mural has people holding pots, then running when the crabs go hostile, but missing their pots.

Crabs evil pots? Evil.....edible pots. I don’t think even I could convince myself of that

Wait hold on

Imma put the murals up

More crabs emerged

Also my skid almost lost wl while running around in there

[icy spruce]

damn

[hushed steeple]

Edible pots huh-

Dang even the mantas are scared of their screeching

Why does crab call spirit even want to befri-

[icy spruce]

because, it's s k y

[supple sluice]

👀

It is sky

[queen locust]

FINALLY- TS CONQUERED

[supple sluice]

As Forest Elder says in that video about the elders: this is sky, no logic needed

[queen locust]

AND WHY DOES IT WANT TO FOLLOW THE CRABS SO BAD

[supple sluice]

Cuz it's food

They're right next to the crab kebab cooker

[icy spruce]

and it's cute

[supple sluice]

Yea

[icy spruce]

[supple sluice]

Tbh when someone said their story was sad i was expecting like their child died

But no

[icy spruce]

like look at this gremlin

very cute

[supple sluice]

Dad just needed one more crab to finish the crab kebaba

Awa

[icy spruce]

lmao

[queen locust]

i lost too many shining children

[supple sluice]

O h

[icy spruce]

rip

[queen locust]

curse you old man

[supple sluice]

You could've used home trick and a few fri3nds;u;

[queen locust]

I kinda wanted to play alone for a while- anyway-

[supple sluice]

Or just idk follow people around and join their group like i did-

[icy spruce]

It's ok, at least you could rob their guitar and cape

[supple sluice]

O h

[queen locust]

give me your clothes old man

[supple sluice]

I'm just happy to have gotten the wing buff from him ;u;

Anyway

[queen locust]

i demand compensation for my efforts

[supple sluice]

Hm

Pfff

[icy spruce]

anyways

lore

[queen locust]

okay this guy really was either desperate for food

or desperate for friends

[supple sluice]

I-

[queen locust]

because I'm both-

[supple sluice]

Ooof

Also... Why are they a parent

Like

I get illiteration but-

[queen locust]

They WERE part of the big Belonging family-

[supple sluice]

O-

[icy spruce]

cool

[queen locust]

Maybe he was out hunting food for the children

Or a feast that he never ended up getting to

[supple sluice]

Yeahh

.... And then let it cook for... Uh...

27958384 years

Somehow it's not overcooked

[queen locust]

several millenia those crabs have got to be d a n g roasted

[supple sluice]

Y e a h

Talj about slow cooking

[icy spruce]

yes

[teal orbit]

hey folks...

[supple sluice]

Anyway

Hello

[rapid juniper]

Hey guys i wanna show you something i found in valley

[supple sluice]

How is The documentary?

O

[queen locust]

there's your headstart for the crab episode lmao

[rapid juniper]

See the hole?

[supple sluice]

A.... Hole

Huh

[queen locust]

h o l e

[supple sluice]

Has that always been there?

[icy spruce]

h o l e

[supple sluice]

It could be for the upcoming season...

[icy spruce]

perhaps

[teal orbit]

guys.. dya mind helping me with the documenary script?
chesca bailed... i think... or maybe they r just taking a break idk but i ran outta lore juice and we need to finish krill part 2

[rapid juniper]

I saw this in a youtube video and i went to explore it

Well uh

[icy spruce]

I have writers block, I can't think of anything to write. Sorry-

[queen locust]

there's a krill part two because of course there is

[teal orbit]

it was too long

[icy spruce]

ye

[teal orbit]

so we split it

[supple sluice]

Cuz krills have two parts

[icy spruce]

yep

[supple sluice]

One is the shell, one is the edible part

[rapid juniper]

Three

[supple sluice]

... Oh wait that's shrimp.

[queen locust]

idk I have some free time on my hands starting tomorrow

[rapid juniper]

[queen locust]

I'm on break until January

[rapid juniper]

Wait

[supple sluice]

Hmmm

[teal orbit]

theoreticaly, there are 3

[queen locust]

s h r i m p

[supple sluice]

Well

[queen locust]

shramp

[rapid juniper]

Yeah

[supple sluice]

Maybe it's 3 parts just cus of discord emote stuff

[queen locust]

shrapnel

[teal orbit]

schwriimp

[supple sluice]

Schair
Schearth
Schfire
Schwater

[rapid juniper]

[queen locust]

brb gotta eat i'll think of the tempura while I'm eating

[rapid juniper]

Bye

[supple sluice]

Hm

So

.... Lore wise do the clouds matter?

Like

[rapid juniper]

Yes

[supple sluice]

The ones that lead from the Prairie social space to the main Prairie

Or the clouds covering hidden forest

Why do they have those shapes?

Besides game design

[rapid juniper]

Cuz uhm what shapes

What shapes do they form

[supple sluice]

Like the narrow tube

[rapid juniper]

So we can pass throught lamo

[supple sluice]

Oh

You'd think they should be clear channels tho

[rapid juniper]

It’s called sky tho

[supple sluice]

Well

True

And we are canonically always on clouds

[rapid juniper]

Yes except vault and gw

Nothing

Chat is dead

Again

[worn inlet]

so
eyes

[hasty hinge]

skykids eyes are always closed because if you clip inside the mask you can see their closed eyes and if they can't see i would think they use echolocation because why else would you be able to honk if you cant hear yourself or others cant hear you

[worn inlet]

its why moths are moths cuz they havent learned the audible cues and they cant see the blue light turn red-

[hasty hinge]

[worn inlet]

oh my gosh imagine sky blind mode where everything is black except for like glowing outlines and grids for skid echolocation that only show up if you honk-

[hasty hinge]

i want that to be real

[worn inlet]

im putting that in wishlist brb

[icy spruce]

huh

[worn inlet]

im back

[icy spruce]

Hi Back, I'm Chesca

[worn inlet]

nice to meet you

anyway do skids have ears? where is the light coming from that shines from the masks

[icy spruce]

nice to meet ya too

[hasty hinge]

Hol up lemme get a pic of their ears

i also think they put glowing stones in their mask eye places

[icy spruce]

Ye

[worn inlet]

oh man

imagine

skids live off light right?

they cant see it

so they have to locate by warmth

or spirit detection

but other glowing things, how do they see?
like in prophecy cave, how do they see it

[supple sluice]

Imagined if in the death room you were blind 👀

The wls sung?

[hasty hinge]

??

[supple sluice]

I didn't know that

[icy spruce]

wait what

[hasty hinge]

Skykids ears

[worn inlet]

wait if skids dont have eyes how do they read letters-

[icy spruce]

smol

huh

[queen locust]

why is the first thing my eyes land on the phrase 'Sky Dark Mode'

[supple sluice]

How do skykids Learn music

That's probably not important

[icy spruce]

m a g i c

[willow sparrow]

While we're on the topic, how do skids honk?

[worn inlet]

how do we know that skids arent modeled after an ancient race and that the ears are actually useless and they rely on a more magical/energy based echolocation

[queen locust]

Low-key it kind of is- you know how much brain power you need to be able to play a whole song from a music sheet

[hasty hinge]

[worn inlet]

i asked that too lmao someone was like they honk from their eyes

[queen locust]

h j o n k

[supple sluice]

H j o n k

[hasty hinge]

[icy spruce]

h j o n k

[worn inlet]

im thinking they might be running on a sort of energy based echolocation & calling system where we as humans hear it as a sound but skids "hear" them as like vibrations or waves of energy

[hasty hinge]

yo thats good theor y

[queen locust]

beautiful- i stan that-

[icy spruce]

ADD IT IN THEORY VAULLTTTT

DOCCC

[hasty hinge]

add it now

[worn inlet]

wait where-

[queen locust]

https://docs.google.com/document/u/1/d/18B1-SKG3toG0oH0VhOWC5o-cG9u0STAN92QvmbhTDto/edit?ouid=111696134187527164036&usp=docs_home&ths=true
THE THEORY VAULT

this place-

[icy spruce]

yes

[queen locust]

this glorious place

[worn inlet]

yo it might be why they can see spirits and see the glowing things and wl because they're all made of energy-

[teal orbit]

echolocation~~~~ i love it!

wait wait

no

that cant be right

[hasty hinge]

im supposed to be doing school work but im talking about echolocation instead

how

[teal orbit]

if its echolocation we cant see colors lol

[worn inlet]

energy based, no actual soundwaves 👀

[queen locust]

'the amount of radiation that i've absorbed from playing this game has given me echolocation'

[hasty hinge]

why do skykids need to see colors

[worn inlet]

light is energy too so they might be able to filter that into color

[teal orbit]

no like rocks and trees and bunting lines too... those have colors and cosmetics too....

if we see with echolocation that cant be right

[hasty hinge]

but why do they need to see color

[teal orbit]

we should only see shape

[supple sluice]

OH

Wait

SPIRITS HJONK TOO

So maybe it is echolocation? Or just general communication?

Sorry I'm miles late

[worn inlet]

hrm wait i have idea

[teal orbit]

our eyes open when we put on the mask... or maybe the glowing eyes send signals to our "brain" of the outside world lol

[queen locust]

and I don't know anything about echolocation so Imma leave that to you skidologists

[hasty hinge]

our eyes dont open when we put on the mask

[supple sluice]

Tbh i thought we lit up cuz of the light inside us

[hasty hinge]

if you clip inside it you can see out eyes are closed

[supple sluice]

Like some kind of weird lantern

[teal orbit]

plus, if its echolocation we should only see when we honk and then it should be dark lol

[worn inlet]

so they might be able to filter lightwaves and see color
the energy it takes to see each other in honks or the glowing symbols and stuff and spirits and such could be separated, and thats how they echolocate other skids but they dont use it for overall movement

[teal orbit]

thats just a game mech

[supple sluice]

Yeah

Uhhh.... I do notice when we honk the room lights up

Maybe that's a game mechanic

[worn inlet]

that could be when you resort to only that energy for echolocation

[supple sluice]

Yeah that's ture

[teal orbit]

but then we have to see glimpses of the world only when we honk, and sometimes i play the game without ever honking once, and i see very well lol...

[queen locust]

actually can I interject for a second- does anyone else hear the sound of a door closing when you're flying in Sanc

[hasty hinge]

maybe honks make the world clearer but we can still see without honks??!??! im grasping at straws

[teal orbit]

it doesnt make a lotta sense

[queen locust]

just- the distinct sound of a slamming door when you're passing through a cloud

[worn inlet]

they might be radiating the energy and they might be processed just like lightwaves in that instance

[queen locust]

one specific cloud-

[supple sluice]

We deep call to call butterflies...

[teal orbit]

but then honks are useless and also u dont see the world more clearly

[hasty hinge]

im still sticking to my echolocation idea

[teal orbit]

yes, but thats more like radar than echolocation lol.....

[supple sluice]

So

Does honking, like.... Call light?

[worn inlet]

energy radar that's used in addition to normal "sight"?

[teal orbit]

sooooo no echolocation.....

[supple sluice]

Maybe it is just commission of some sort

[worn inlet]

its echolocation when its dark tbh

[teal orbit]

honks are just to determine where skids are

[teal orbit]

thats just light generated by the sound wave...

[supple sluice]

Like "COME OVER AND HELP ME WITH THE 4 PERSON VAULT DOOR DANG IT"
Or
"BUTTERFLIES I HAVE NO FLAPPS GET OVER HERE"

[teal orbit]

ye

[supple sluice]

Also when we honk around friends they gain wing energy...

[teal orbit]

yes

[supple sluice]

So yeah i agree our honks emit energy or light

[teal orbit]

we expel sparks when we honk

no tho

[worn inlet]

we be dragons

[supple sluice]

we are secretly tesla coils

[teal orbit]

remember?

[worn inlet]

wait how do you think magnets affect skids

[hasty hinge]

our honks not krills

[hushed steeple]

Its called deep calls-

[supple sluice]

Oh right... Krills.

[hasty hinge]

who said krills have the same kinda of honks as us

[supple sluice]

Tbh maybe it's just a visual for a loud sound

[hushed steeple]

Its called calls-

[teal orbit]

we honk when we give out sparks...
the cals themselves have nothing to do with sparks lol

[queen locust]

probably not that much unless we're made by some magnetic material I didn't know about-

[teal orbit]

exactly

[hasty hinge]

we dont have anyway to mimic krill voices yet

[worn inlet]

light up surroundings when its dark for vague impression
locate people

[supple sluice]

Yeah

Okay

Cool

[hasty hinge]

but we can mimic other light creatures

[supple sluice]

sigh

[worn inlet]

cool lol

[teal orbit]

nono krill honk too

[hushed steeple]

Imagine a someone tryna befriend a krill

[hasty hinge]

i men

mean*

crabs exist so

[supple sluice]

Yeah. And some calls entice other animals

[hushed steeple]

Crab call

[hasty hinge]

my hteory sucks

[queen locust]

i wouldn't call a krill honk a honk-

[teal orbit]

its been attempted.... they were never seen again....

[queen locust]

it's a whole freaking roar

[hushed steeple]

Wait then what would krill emote be-

[supple sluice]

Like the jellyfish call, the bird call....
WAIT why don't the jellyfish call make the jellyfish sing ;n;

[worn inlet]

or they physically cant make a sound like it

[queen locust]

It doesn't suck-

[supple sluice]

Are we just inexperienced jellyfish callers

[teal orbit]

but the visual makes it a honk

[queen locust]

that is distinctly not a honk-

[teal orbit]

ye... in a way lol
but seriously we make game-contradicting theories all the time...
ppl have to talk me outta most of my theories too lol

[hasty hinge]

we are supposed to be interpreting things

[supple sluice]

Yesh

[worn inlet]

i mean skids learn by what they see others do and mimic but it doesnt mean they can mimic perfectly especially if they dont have the physical capabilities to do it right

[supple sluice]

Yeah

[worn inlet]

grr call

[supple sluice]

Pff true

[queen locust]

I mean yeah- another objective is that we're supposed to have fun with the theories so

[teal orbit]

platypuses dont look like mamals but they are.. lol

[supple sluice]

We mimic our ancestors, that's how emotes work

[teal orbit]

grrraaallll

[queen locust]

the hell does that have to do with anything-

[hasty hinge]

platypuses aren

in sky

[teal orbit]

the krill honk doesnt sound like a honk but it is

[supple sluice]

Is his point that just cus it doesn't look like a honk it doesn't mean it ain't one

[teal orbit]

exactly

[supple sluice]

.... Hm

[queen locust]

i'm- those are vastly different cases

[supple sluice]

Why do jellyfish and other creatures call

Except... Uh....

Crabs??

[teal orbit]

how so?

[hasty hinge]

?

[supple sluice]

They don't have their sound orb

[queen locust]

nevermind I need to save my brain cells for Physics

[hushed steeple]

Krills honk-??

[teal orbit]

they dont honk but they call

[supple sluice]

When they scree they don't get a thing

[teal orbit]

ye

[hasty hinge]

maybe they need to be a certain size to make decent honks we can see

[teal orbit]

ye.. crabs dont honk, but they do have a call

[worn inlet]

wait do you get recharged if you get caught in krill call but not get krilled

[hushed steeple]

I have never hear- welp, cya im gonna go get krilled

[teal orbit]

no

[worn inlet]

rip

[hasty hinge]

also i dont think you can make a screechy noise look like a honk

[supple sluice]

Yeah that's weird

[teal orbit]

krll go brrr

[supple sluice]

Arw crabs just too small to have a loud enough voice to get the honksphere™

[hushed steeple]

And also when you get hit by strawberry jellybeans

[worn inlet]

yall i-
i made poems i put in #completed-sky-fanart-and-creations
and it has some headcanon-

[hushed steeple]

Love from eden

Strawberry jellybeans

Red rocks.

Totally not there to kill u

[teal orbit]

sith kyber crystals lol

[hasty hinge]

red rock candy

[teal orbit]

vvvzzzzooooommmmm

[hushed steeple]

I call them strawberry jellybeans

[supple sluice]

The.... OH

[teal orbit]

ye

red lightsaber crystals lol

[supple sluice]

THE ANGRY BEEF JERKY BITS

RIGHT RIGHT

[hushed steeple]

Y e s

[supple sluice]

Ppffff

[teal orbit]

ok folks

[supple sluice]

DKEIDJ THE EDEN DIAMOND IS A BIG BEEF JERKY STICK

[teal orbit]

the krill documentary script is finished lol

[hushed steeple]

Who wants strawberry jellybeans

[supple sluice]

Don't make that a legit theory

Pff

Pyre doesn't need sleep they need documentaries

[hushed steeple]

Theres only one way to serve strawberry jellybeans. To hit u on the head with it

[teal orbit]

nah.. we`re done with that lol
now we need crab theories lol

[supple sluice]

Hm

[hushed steeple]

Edible evil pots

[hasty hinge]

krebs are small because they dont get enough wl to eat because the krills eat most of it

[hushed steeple]

Evil edible pots

[supple sluice]

I know there is a theory of them being pots

[teal orbit]

bats?

[hushed steeple]

They can be eaten

[supple sluice]

And i agree they look like stones

[hushed steeple]

Evil edible pots

[supple sluice]

👀

[teal orbit]

all creatures are born naturally lol

[worn inlet]

but skids arent necessarily biotic right

[supple sluice]

Yeah

It's not my theory

I'm just mentioning it

[hushed steeple]

Evil edible pots

[supple sluice]

Ejsjfjejr

Also pls don't ping me

[teal orbit]

roasted crabs are for ancestors lol

[hasty hinge]

stop saying evil edible pots pls

[hushed steeple]

Ye

[supple sluice]

Hm

They're very sensitive to our honks...

[hushed steeple]

But the pots disappear in the murals and more crabs appear

[supple sluice]

They probably just dropped them somewhere lok

[hushed steeple]

Lol

Probably

They were nice crabs and all of a sudden more appear and just chase after everyone

Lol

Crab screech

[supple sluice]

.... Wh

Okay

I gotta pay attention to crabs more

Cuz idk wth their walk cycle resembles

[hushed steeple]

Hmmmmm

[supple sluice]

They definitely walk in circles... Then shake and turn red when they see a child

Then charge in one direction

Maybe they curve a little too? Ifk

[worn inlet]

ya know what'd be scary
if crabs used to be babies

[hasty hinge]

[supple sluice]

..... hm

Tbh they just remind me of irl crabs

[hasty hinge]

that just makes them tastier

[supple sluice]

But they don't walk sideways....

[worn inlet]

they have 4 legs
is that a sign

[hushed steeple]

Hmmm

[supple sluice]

They don't have the uh

Snappy bits

The claws skakfkf

[hasty hinge]

pincers

[hushed steeple]

They have short legs which move so fast-

[supple sluice]

Yeah

.....
crabs are chibis 👀

Jkjk

[hasty hinge]

[supple sluice]

It's interesting that we can pick them up too

[hasty hinge]

WHat about beetles

[supple sluice]

I

Hmmm

[hasty hinge]

they fight eachother with their heads like krebs yeet us with their heads

[worn inlet]

bulls

[teal orbit]

i thought it was bats

[hasty hinge]

oMG

[worn inlet]

did it mean walking sequence as in the moving animation or the pattern in which they move

[hasty hinge]

when beetles get stuck on their backs

[supple sluice]

Hmmm

Angry turtles?

[hasty hinge]

they keep moving their legs like the krebs

[worn inlet]

that-
actually turtles maybe-

[supple sluice]

👀

[hasty hinge]

but turtles dont yeet people with their heads

[supple sluice]

So crabs grow with their rock shells?

I guess?

[teal orbit]

i like turtles lets go with turtles lol

[hasty hinge]

beetles

[supple sluice]

Hmmm

They can't be deer or elk...

Hhh what do they resemble besides crabs that walk correctly?

[hasty hinge]

that scares me

ima keep looking at it tho

[supple sluice]

It's like a spider turtle

A beetle turtle

[hushed steeple]

Naked crab

[hasty hinge]

what if they are 2 animals stacked ontop eachother

[supple sluice]

Like a....

Tick?

A flea?

[hushed steeple]

I was thinking....they walk like robots

[supple sluice]

Yea

Hm

[hasty hinge]

what

[worn inlet]

crabs do this weird thing where they burrow in the ground for a little

[supple sluice]

Yeah, i do notice they flip upside down to hide or bury in the ground

Like tortures preparing to lay eggs 👀

[hasty hinge]

why would they make themselves unable to move when they are scared

[pseudo heart]

We're talkin bout kreb gait?

[supple sluice]

Cuz nobody would harm a rock, right? ;u;

[hushed steeple]

So predators don’t bbq them on a skewer

[hasty hinge]

[supple sluice]

Bro imagine crabs taking on random rubble for shells....

[pseudo heart]

Kreb's gait and whole appearance is weird, they're nothing like crabs other than their names

[hushed steeple]

At least they went out tasty.

[hasty hinge]

why are crabs so aggressive tho

[pseudo heart]

corrupted

[hasty hinge]

oh yea h

[hushed steeple]

Dark dust on em

[pseudo heart]

They have dust like the krills and dark plants

[hushed steeple]

Sometimes they vanish and just leave a floating clump of dark dust

[sinful anvil]

i only learned poison can increase in concentration as it goes up the food chain... so how does corruption work as its ingested

[hushed steeple]

Oh. Cool. Nice tell for it.

[sinful anvil]

(irrelevant pls carry on
tmw ur just vibing and realized if valley of triumph thrived, capitalism can b one of the possible system it thrives on, and that means a sliver of chance that the twins might be advocating it and taking some steps to ensure this system is in place ... all putting a goofy face on)

[hasty hinge]

how do you thinks skykids would handle corruption

[hushed steeple]

Like the ones statuified in eden

[worn inlet]

oh ya what's up with the pipes in wasteland? like they look more like pipes than traveling tubes we use them for
like did waste and corruption literally flood out of it once upon a time? what was it used for before that if that even happened?

[supple sluice]

Not very well, in the point of no return (and maybe in other areas?)
When you're unlit and just generally dying you get the dark particles on you

[teal orbit]

i found a turtle walk cycle lol

[sinful anvil]

skykids already have an ounce of darkness. descendants are hybrids; its likely they symbolize the balance between light and darkness

so the corruption cant just b caused by darkness alone

[supple sluice]

Maybe it's from an imbalance of light and dark?

[icy spruce]

ye, I too personally think we're also made with a lil' bit of dark

ness

[teal orbit]

nah... the dust would have consumed the sparks in no time lol

[icy spruce]

lol

[supple sluice]

Like maybe darkness needs a a lot of light to counter balance it?

[worn inlet]

sometimes, when skids glitch out, they too leave behind the dark dust

[hushed steeple]

WHAT

[supple sluice]

Cuz when we lose wing power we lose the flame next

[hushed steeple]

REALLY?!

[sinful anvil]

i mean whatever it is, i dont believe darkness causes corruption alone. its not evil.
i cant stress this enough. darkness isnt a bad guy and “darkness as some evil force” tropes need. to. freaking. DIE.

[teal orbit]

the skids themselves r prob neutral and wut makes them neutral is that they are both spark and dust compatible and the skid is trying to keep them in balance lol

[hushed steeple]

I assumed that was the dark in eden clinging to them though

[supple sluice]

The Disaster Dust™ is everywhere

[queen locust]

i came back from a Voltron review to a glorious revelation

darkness is not evil-

[icy spruce]

cool

[supple sluice]

Yeah

[icy spruce]

yes

[sinful anvil]

[oprah putting out her hands while staring in the camera.gif]

[queen locust]

light has absolutely no impact without darkness

[supple sluice]

We need the dark....

For candle farming

[queen locust]

light cannot be light without darkness

[icy spruce]

Yin yang, thing-

[hushed steeple]

Didn’t it describe it as “an ecosystem of light and darkness” or somethin

[teal orbit]

ofcourse.. thats like saying the lions eating the impala arent evil or that the shark eating the seal isnt evil lol
