Hi You Mentioned An Ancient Police Chase? What Did This Person Do To Deserve This. I Must Know.

hi you mentioned an ancient police chase? what did this person do to deserve this. i must know.

oh hello!!!! i am glad you asked!!! :D the ancient who is on a police chase is Reflections in Last Fracture, Speaks of Mirrors (or bob. stands for big ol' bastard, his iterator gave him this nickname before the...rot incident) Reflections in Last Fracture, Speaks of Mirrors was a part of a council working on an iterator (around early to mid gen 1) that can withstand the rot, this iterator wasn't the final model but was the first prototype however Reflections in Last Fracture, Speaks of Mirrors needed a approval from the rest of the council (especially since his council didn't live atop his iterator as his iterator had no city. regulations and checks need to be done for there to be a chance that the city would be built), he wasn't the best to his iterator :( this has caused the iterator to act distrusting and not cooperative (note: Reflections in Last Fracture, Speaks of Mirrors lived in another iterator city, so therefore his council was merged with the other council) even worse thing that happened is that during one of the checks, Reflections in Last Fracture, Speaks of Mirrors decided that it would be time to initiate the first bit of his plan (give his iterator a bit of rot, install it into the primary core container. its similar to a core except it contains rot, in theory the rot should not spread, and the iterator will suffer minimal consequences, if not no consequences at all). this was an utter FAILURE. not sure what happened next but basically the iterator ALMOST got killed by his stupid business decision, he got a little (a lot) mad at his iterator (RB. short for Rotting Balance), may have yelled at him, and promptly got zapped by a less harmful version of the brain zap pebbles gives you if you stay in his chamber for too long all in front of the other council people. consequences for this is that the iterator had a few new code add-ons installed onto his code. if he is disrespectful or otherwise unkind to any ancient in any way (can range from not cooperating and all the way to zapping an ancient again), he'll get 25% of his water supply taken away, and RB CANNOT be bellow 75% water supply or else he will not be able to keep the rot somewhat under control. consequences for Reflections in Last Fracture, Speaks of Mirrors is that he loses his place in the council, and gets all his permits on working on iterators taken away he wasn't happy that cycle he and the council had a REAL BAD argument, not sure what happened here either but it escalated to him threatening the other ancient with a dagger, he realized what he had done so he ran before the police could be called, threatening a maintenance worker to get the pin to the maintenance staff elevator in the superstructure's leg, then hopped onto the first train car carrying supplies over to an iterator across the mountain range the police did caught up to him eventually when they did, he ran to the nearest void fluid mine and jumped into the void he is now an echo.

hi you said you enjoy receiving asks

and i enjoy sending them

...so this obviously calls for me to declare war on your inbox

ooooo!!! FEEL FREE TO I WOULD LOVE IT!!! OH I HAVE LORE YES YES ALL THE LORE SO MUCH LORE TO TALK ABOUT!! i am rubbing my hands together evilly rn .... thinking of all the lore .......

does anyone else in the group have notable ancient interactions?

why does CoG make malware? is it aimed at anyone in particular?

for the first questions! yes! plenty! CoG was worshiped by her ancients!!! (only the council knew of her being a malware creator!! XD they literally programmed and built her after all! this was considered highly illegal, so every cycle of CoG was a gamble of luck for her ancients) she absolutely adored her ancient colony!!! they even replaced parts of her structure and her puppet (as well as mechanical arm) with golden versions to show how good she was at her iterating job and how worshipped she was! oh how terrible sad she was when they were gone :( never was the same after that tbh LiBL was originally worshipped too but when CoG was built, most ancients kind of abandoned LiBL? i mean of course LiBL still had the maintenance workers and the council! just the colony moved to CoG's city. however LiBL is in no way bitter or unhappy, both her and the ancients were really distant, same goes with CoG (on good terms but distant), she didn't care too much what happened to the ancients. Marbles ancients... they weren't too nice to them i mean marbles was never finished building? there were two houses of ancients working on them, and the houses had political trouble and one of them stopped sending building supplies. the other house couldn't continue finish building marble's structure so they gave marbles to another house, which had nothing to do with marbles so they gave marbles to yet ANOTHER house. marbles didn't even have a proper name!!! :( (they thought of the name "Marbles Lost to Time" themselves!) often ancients would call marble's structure "an abomination of scaffolding and terrible business decisions" traversing their structure is an absolute hazard, let alone trying to do maintenance work on it! so the ancients simply didn't do anything the structure shook each time it rained, so it wasn't too unexpected when marbles collapsed :( the others didn't have much notable ancients fog's ancients were very chill, rarely were a pain to deal with. smoke's ancients had serious political beef with marble's many ancients, despite this marbles and smoke became rather good friends! oh and heres the refs for the sillies!

fog is the light blue one, smoke is the sleep deprived one, marbles is the one with the green cloak, CoG is the one with the golden mechanical arm, and LiBL is the one that doesn't have the golden mechanical arm CoG and LiBL look VERY similar!! the ancients basically wanted a LiBL 2.o after their silly little thing gained compassion and started to think that maybe her malware isn't too nice as for the second question! CoG's malware is mainly directed towards iterators with a LOT of data on ascension or rot the local group is working on finding a 100% cure for rot! and CoG also finds ascension interesting! so CoG sends malware to others in anonymous online sliverist groups to fetch their important data!

also marbles post collapse ref i had no clue how to draw the crushed mechanical arm so i am thinking of redrawing it again, this ref is a sketch as well gonna draw it completely some day!

should have clarified that UI gets the rot!!! not pebbles!!! this au is basically just "what if UI got the rot instead of pebbles?" XD

more inbox attacking

this time about your au, cause i'm curious about a few things

how are relationships between moon/pebbs and pebbs/suns in your au? Curious cause pebbies getting rotted is the main driving force of the base story and I'm wondering if they're all still besties while innocence dies in the corner (or something, i dunno)

also sunstone, yes or no (there is only one correct answer)

ooo!!! hmmm so pebbles and moon i guess for now before all of the angst happens (of UI getting the rot) they are on great terms! the average nice older sister and grumpy younger brother dynamic you see often portrayed! however this is not a definite answer as i have only now begun to write pebbles for the RC au! pebbles and suns hmmm interesting question tbh not sure! i do imagine pebbles and suns are great friends, however suns isn't from this local group in this au, so moon might be a bit distrusting, but her little brother is ok, so suns must not be as bad as she fears? she doesn't tell this to pebbles, however she does worry! in general moon worries! a LOT! the consequences of being only admin/senior in your local group! as for sunstone hmm idk! don't think about ships at all, i am more of the "besties and/or found family" dynamics fan!!

hrrrnnnnggg got ancient ocs ideas.... so many of them yes shall i post my ancient ocs here too? :0
