VIGNETTE: ILLY something you'll never forget about the first life you took or nearly took we knew each other young moko moko dude with something to prove // Koachoko , one of my classmates, didnt know all that well he challenged me to handtohand in sunner fight club, we were like 15, I was making jokes and laughing it off, then he took out a knife and swiped my side. I was still laughing, and then I made eye contact with him and got real scared with how serious he was and then I dodged and stabbed him. dont know what happened, never any consequences, able to avoid talking about it. I remember looking at Koachokos eyes and how serious he was and being scared out of my unseriousness and attacked.   VIGNETTE: Last night time Pet cried? within the week of Pet revealing himself. keeps going // Aiana historian has been feeding him jelly and cold cuts Pet woke up crying one of those days later, and then stayed silent , woke up crying in one of first nights sleeping around other people. stayed very quiet. then got up to go and wander. maybe nightmare, aiana comes up has sandwich for him, seeing he's recently cried. Aiana: how are you feeling? overwhelmed. Pet: What's overwhelmed, OH YES IM DEF THAT Aiana kindly speaking to Pet within first days of Pet. Aiana prompting Pet to share a little vulnerability. (maybe in kemqh) -- data point kind people asking for vulnerability is scary. Whereas Pet is totally used to being chased by flying snakes as a child.     Ages: Pet around 14/15 , rajiv and illy around 18-20ish   NEW VIGNETTE SYSTEM: Keri build prompt with reading and then create a prompt from it // warm up question vs do a whole little scene. can be a one line thing. this time we went into a whole sort of scene about it.  

RECAP: session 4 began with diadem ACTIVATING the whole ship. Pet got it off. the sunners attacked us, and then we shot them out of the sky , we got them sinking and then Zuni annihilated one (SCORPIO WAS FIRST WEAPON WITH A SCOPE! MASSIVE)   and then we had a big ol talk, pet had been across the ocean before. we talked about rajiv's past, Suni, and about death, and dreams of ittihaza,   important distinction ::: upper and lower hodgepodge rooms. one is formally hodgepodge, the other is content hodgepodge. upper hodgepodge (hodgepodge illit/elite) and lower hodgepodge

We’re approaching the sea, crossing the shatah coast ** ONE DOES NOT SIMPLY GO OVER AMOANA** This is not the way you circumnavigate, and we’re heading right for the constant storms and maelstrom over Amoana, , , , you’re supposed to go the other way around Our navigator warning us all, We’re starting to gather up supplies in more safe areas, while Harumi debates activating the diadem   Ce is our moon, Metzli is other moon, Ijitl is gas giant. Patlana station on Metzli, the other moon, is our source of knowing sense of Amoana. Map projectsion Probably a few days travel. Quite a trip, continent size storm.     Let’s not **do a glowup** right as we’re leaving shatah in sight of sunners, Sunner’s sunning on beach as we pass coastline. “nude beach” is redundant for sinners     DC 1 check rajiv studying What parts of the ship are most likely to fall off. Assess vulnerabilities Yeah we gotta be indoors. Not crossing the balcony during storm. Metal – lightning!! The wooden walk we don’t use on the other side might get lost   Lab area and cafeteria is at risk. Lower hodgepodge , winch system   The wooden old bridge , Illy carries a lot of boxes back and forth across short bridge Several planks hammered together, one falls as I’m crossing. We speed up the crossing. Illy gets just barely enough fitness at 3 to get stuff   Sunner teens go thru minimalist phase when theyre feeling rebellious   Im coordinating supplies on bridge, Harumi is vchecking in with me while running around doing all other 21 people The bulk of our supplies Food supplies, weapons, some construction supplies, books and stuff, helping researchers a bit. No furniture. Losing out on frozen foods We do group check for us to do politics to organize efficient carrying around of supplies in the time we’ve got left. It’s politics DC 2 cuz harumi’s helping   We’re not getting all of it. Research stuff prioritized, weapons not prioritized In the morning before we got up and talked about death, Rajiv read the first diary entry when he found it, then put it away, illy read like half the diary the next morning over tea   Rebel Queen Safina later realized I totally read a ton of her diary, sketched out Lvl 3 deception level 3 catching it, I tell a story , me and Safina have got a rapport, I read her political and romantic diary To try to deflect and help her feel more at easy I tell an embarrassing romantic story I talk about an unfortunate picnic with a girl she fell off unnatural sharp cliff into lake outside of shandiin , embarrassing story for me, mortifying for her /// kamatzli the patlana // Kam She looked very goofy falling off More and more people I almost killed A silent tandem bicycle on the way home / our relationship ended that day   Then we get as much in as possible, lose some weapons, and then we have a feast of the frozen food 21 of us , maybe freaking out Open area near bathrooms. Crates piled up in bedrooms. Hodge podge room   Outside you be buffeted, deafened, blinded and waterlogged I’m giving myself henna tattoos in the corner , Pet is dancing, Niyol plays guitar Moko moko Amaya works on teaching Pet how to dance haka Illy tagging along , big and intense movements and shouting, Amaya’s father was an egg tender, did the haka to bless the eggs   Some of the shouting/similar movements are vaguely familiar to Pet, very early memory. Back on the atoll. Circle island with sheltered lagoon eggladen   Kahi and ko are live birth Kahi litter, ko single birth Patlana and moko moko eggs, Moko moko eggs incubated in water, patlana not   Diff places where moko moko do or don’t do the haka over the eggs.  Lol upstairs neighbors planning a haka baby shower   We pass midnight in the heart of the storm We’re all dancing and playing to keep storms up. Im painting myself. We’re all telling stories, Speculating about the people in this storm, if our ancestors are wind, this sacred collection of wind and air together , late night fest time after carrying things, then we all slept. Aiana screams early morning. , post sun rise. AIANA SEES SOMETHING OUT THERE IN THE STORM , SHE SEES A SHAPE A REALLY BIG BIRD , , Chidiyaza, north wind that got turned into a bird Rajiv cosmology check, DC 1 Any religious significance to giant storm wind bird Chidiyaza could be? But not typically associated with lightning. Lightning is almost PART of this bird. Thunder crack with each flap of its wings. Thinks of some older lore, not commonly held or belived still, but a spirit/god associated with sound, lightning, storms , birdlike creature the THUNDERBIRD – Rajiv remembers -- but it’s not particularly associated with this region, associated with older faith of Zodiac, which was practiced by older people of majina isles before they were conquered by idylla   Pet does fauna check, don’t got nothing. Akahata might know about zodiac, he’s a mokomoko from mahina isles Belief is the battle between horned serpent and the thunderbird is what creates the constant storm of Amoana , creates magic constant storm. Diametrically opposed zodiac signs. Horned serpent water earth Thunderbird fire air Ancient creatures that have been here maybe as long as history, Represented ideologically as being constantly opposed, horned serpent being sort of more of the malicious one. But there have been sightings of diff descriptions of horned serpent, doesn’t always line up, so are there more than one? Or maybe theres just a ton of horned serpents as large as mountains An ocean full of sea serpents and massive thunderbirds. Serpent is tall to touch the sky, bird fights back. In zodiac there are paired elements, and every element pair has an animal. Even opposed elements can coexist. There are 12 zodiac animals so all pairs, of one primary one secondary Thunderbird is primary fire, secondary air Akahata pulls out sea navigation spyglass sorts of stuff, It’s not strictly how thunderbird is depicted, but theyre usually filled with starlight ZODIAC BELIEF: each person born under certain stars, has a guardian Depends on the year they’re born. Year zodiac cycle: If youre born in that year, youre shaped a certain way. In that year that animal is Ce’s guardian The guardian is a whole constellation of stars. It’s the year of the kelpie.  water horse. Pet”oh ive seen one of those” Akahata “those are mythological creatures” Pet”oh.” Turns out he saw a sea horse Kelpies are actual fish horses. (seahorses are predators)   kirin are among the mythical zodiac creatures. Air/Water   let's later see if Pet can become an imaginary animal. ,   Bird probably sees us as a threat, not as prey , its studying us Rajiv’s theory, might be a thunder bird species. Let’s imitate lightning with our diadem Mia navigator, we’re descending We drop below clouds, whirlpool comes into view We’re descending into whirlpool Biannual carwash We set diadem down on ship, it starts to glow , as we glow and sink into the center of it

great endeavor followed diadem, now is it taking diadem back to home base in Atlantis?
