Eliza: depends what it needs to be available for? Eliza: I've been using a lot of floorspace for circles Eliza: but those can be erased Eliza: or i can put the carpets back Eliza: why?
Lorelei: Very well, I will be certain to deliver it to you upon completion. There are hostile reptillian creatures very deep in the jungle as well, if you would like one of those, I can retrieve one for you as well.
[that's so many bones tho like gurl do you have extra storage]
Eliza: that's a weirdly specific example for size! Eliza: is there any size difference betweent he 2 and 4-eyed ones? Eliza: do they blink? Eliza: do they make any vocalizations? conspecfics or threats?
Lorelei:I thought it might be evocative. Lorelei:I have to investigate further, but the four-eyed ones I fought seemed as though they had not finished growing, though they were not quite juvenile, either. Lorelei:They blink and seem to be rather intelligent. They can attack in packs and appear to use vocalisations to move a certain way. Lorelei:They make a strange hissing noise before they spit.
Eliza: spit?? Eliza: are they venomous??????? Eliza: i know they're corrupted versions of how they should be like how the vipers were ut if even SOME of that holds over that's amazing! Eliza: pack hunting in a reptile is a big enough deal withOUT coordination! Eliza: how many sparks do you think a gopro would cost?? Eliza: or a drone???
Lorelei:They spit a sort of thick adhesive that hardens and crystallises. Lorelei:A drone may be more expensive, but I cannot say for certain. I would hope less than a weapon, so under four hundred if not that.
Eliza: 400 sparks isnt bad Eliza: cheaper than trying to go in myself for sure Eliza: if you get an extra, can you bring me a whole gecko to dissect? Eliza: i want to look at the the glands for the adhesive Eliza: and their feet
Lorelei:That shall not pose a problem. Lorelei:I have dissected them, myself. Lorelei:A bit crudely, as I presently lack studio space, but have a care when you do it yourself. Lorelei:The glands have a strong muscular mechanism and that may result in spit postmortem. Lorelei:If you do purchase a drone, you may wish to add some custom specifications.
Eliza: did you take any notes? Eliza: I assume it's the exposure to air that makes the adhesive harden? Eliza: i'll figure out something to watch them Eliza: get a flying construct to tie my phone to ifit comes down to it!
Lorelei:I am not certain it is air, it could be, but it may be due to the presence or absence of enzymes. Lorelei:I animals in its stomach that were crystallised the same way. Lorelei:In fact, they had become translucent, which begs the question of what all occurs. Lorelei:Presumably, it is a defense mechanism as well as digestive. Lorelei:Similar to how some venoms both have offensive capabilities but break down proteins for easier consumption.
Eliza: turning prey translucent is weird Eliza: and the prey is crystalline as well?? not just the spit? Eliza: that may be a magical effect rather than just biological/chemical Eliza: especially so as they're corrupted
Lorelei:That is correct. Lorelei:Likely so. But it is difficult to run proper experiments, presently. Lorelei:If the star can be entirely purified, I wonder what may happen. Lorelei:Oh, I can also get you a boar skeleton. I hunt them frequently and have saved the bones.
Eliza: do the boars have extra eyes too?? Eliza: I would like one though Eliza: actually also if you encounter an uncorrupted viper, would you feel safe bringing me back a live one? Eliza: I don't have the exp to handle a venomous snake but I want to observe it Eliza: see what it looks like Eliza: there's some mismatch happening with the corrupted skeletons vs. the souls in preliminary reads, and having a better understanding of the local species in their correct form should help with the acclimation to the host skeletons when it comes to an actual summons
