Futuristic Fate of the Stars of Life (EPISODE 3: RP-CONSPIRACY)

[The One-Sided Coin]

I made it myself under very specific work environments with materials that only I can make, with the exception of one Shewdew.

And my question is, what is the primary Lunarim religion? I've studied for years on the Lunarim, and it never states what religion they are, or what it is.

 

[Meme Machine]

She shook her head in amusement when she saw the first part, smiling widely.

But at the second part, her smile fell slightly. She pursed her lips, and looked to Lux. “That’s a dangerous question Lux. You sure you wanna know that?” She said viciously. There was no humor, and while it wasn’t violent, she was being completely serious.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

I'm sure.

He wrote, a small twinkle in his eye at how excited he is to learn something new, which has always been his favorite thing to do. Gain knowledge.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia took a deep breath, and looked around the halls. She saw that no one was there, before she stopped and looked him in the eye.

“Understand this. If you tell anyone, I have a legal and moral right to kill you, and so do my people. That’s just how it works. I’m only telling you because I trust you. Do not tell anyone, under any circumstances. There’s a reason there are no records of our religion.”

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

I won’t tell anyone, or anything, at any time or any place, even if it kills me.

He shows her his oath to do what she says, and listens intently.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia took a breath, looked around again, and tensed.

“We have a place. It’s a secret and it only opens up once a year. You know our planets core was a blue star, well inside the planet is warmer than outside. This place...... was literally inside the planet. The place held a structure. It... housed our dead. People would go to that place once a year and talk with them. They either saw them in dreams, or talked to their ghosts.” She seemed hesitant, but not like she was lying. Like she was scared and someone would hear her.

“I’ve only done it once, but it works. You can talk to the kings and queens of the past, your family, anyone. There’s only one catch. You have to be buried there. Somehow, those woods...... that place, it traps your spirit.” She said, leaning back and releasing the whisper she had subconsciously been speaking in.

“I, uh, well those are basics. I can tell you more if you want, but...... not here. Not in the open.” She looked extremely tense. “I’m not even supposed to be telling you this....” She murmured, looking around the halls.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He listened closely during her brief explanation. He was extremely fascinated in their religion.

Please, tell me more when we are alone. It would mean a lot.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia nodded, and rolled her shoulders slightly. It wasn’t that she was uncomfortable talking about it; just not where others could hear.

“Good plan. Lets go eat.” She said returning her smile to her face.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He nodded, and followed her into the lunchroom, not enjoying the noise of everyone talking.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia went to the coffee machine, and made her signature pure black brew. She made sure it was a bit stronger, just because, and then went to sit down and drink it with little talking.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He sat down after grabbing a tray from the lunch line and grabbing the minimal amount of food that he could to sustain himself for today.

Last time I was here, I almost got stabbed by an engineer for killing his friend.

He wrote, and flipped the bottom corner of his mask to feed himself tiny morsels of his food.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia laughed slightly, and shook her head.

“Last time I was here, I was trying to keep and angry engineer from stabbing you.” She said, looking around. “Hey, where’s Kokoro and Hamele? They can’t still be in the end bay, right?”

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

Probably being medically evaluated, interviewed, or just resting.

Also, have you seen Kqidons? I owe her a fight.

He wrote, not even a fourth of the way done with his food since he eats so little.

 

[Meme Machine]

Talia shrugged, and kept an eye out for them. She also made sure that the cup was completely empty before she got up and got more Coffee.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He takes her silence as a, 'no' that she hasn't seen Kqidons anywhere. He continues to eat his miniature morsels of his food.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

While they were eating, they met the same Plantera from hours ago before the mission. "Oh, hello, Talia. Lux. This one is surprised that we meet again." The Plantera telepathically said to Talia and Lux.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

Lux recognized the Plantera, and looked around, not able to find it at first since the sound was directional, but in his mind. When he didn't find it, he had a look of interest in his eyes.

Hello again, Plantera. It is surprising, is it not? What have the Plantera been doing for the last few hours?

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

"This one alone or the general Hive Mind, Lux?" The Plantera asked as it proceeds to approach Lux and attempts to sit down on the tables.

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

He uses his hands to make a gesture of everything, trying to convey that he is curious about both.

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

He uses his hands to make a gesture of everything, trying to convey that he is curious about both.

The Plantera easily recognized what Lux meant by his hand wave and rose its head. "Very well. The Hive Mind was doing typical things; asking each other questions, learning new information from other individuals, practicing plant manipulations... though it is a little disruptive due to the recent events that occurred. Despite that, the disruption is not at a seriously concerning level, so all is good." The Plantera explains to Lux, now currently only communication to him at the time being as it assumed that it is only between it and him. "This One didn't do much, even during the recent events. This One only tended to practice plant manipulations while communicating with the Hive Mind."

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

I see. Thank you for telling me. I am alwas one to listen for potential insight or knowledge of anything. Speaking of which, what is plant manipulations?

 

[CaptainRustbolt21]

"Plant manipulations are quite simple, Lux. It is the ability to control all plant life around us; exceed the life expectancy of a plant genus, expand and grow the plant to near-impossible heights... every plant ability that you can think of, we could do that." The Plantera explains to Lux. "Though our manipulations are often mistaken as magic to some individuals. It is not. We simply have a strong mental bond to the plants around us that allow the Plantera to telepathically change the genes within the targeted plant." The Plantera then proceeded to place its leafy hand on top of Lux's journal. "I'm sure you don't already know, but when a Plantera is telepathically connected to a host for communication, we can see and hear your thoughts. So, why not give your arm a rest and talk to this One telepathically?"

 

[The One-Sided Coin]

"You're right." He thought, and put his notepad away into the depths of his cloak. "Please don't look into my deeper thoughts, else the Plantera will gain some uncomfortable knowledge. Regardless, is there any sort of way to learn plant manipulation? Or is it exclusive to the Plantera?" He thought, highly interested in the thought of manipulating Life.

"The Plantera is generally not trusted to keep personal/classified information anyway, so it is fine. Besides, the Plantera had learned much worse." The Plantera responded. "As for that question, due to your organic physiology, you do not meet the requirements of manipulating plant life; it is exclusive to the Plantera, is what this One is trying to say."

“Hey, where’s Kokoro and Hamele? They can’t still be in the end bay, right?”

Probably being medically evaluated, interviewed, or just resting.

Hamele, at the time, was resting in her quarters after Lux had been sorted out. As for Kokoro, alongside Bowe, she isn't anywhere to be seen upon returning. Heck knows what they're all doing specifically, but it's a little bit weird how Bowe isn't around to eat anything like one would expect her to be doing. Maybe she's not hungry or just something else requires her attention. Needless to say - all three of them are presumably doing their own thing, probably in their respective quarters.
