I got tired of being a bird, back to my good old human body :)

*After a couple miles were drained of their colour, Catalyst stretched after getting back to her 100%, afterwards she sighed before pulling out her phone to contact Alice* @thecyangrin.bsky.social Hey Bestie, I'm going on a walk to the Black Forest to settle some business, don't worry about me

*Catalyst was once again wandering outside of Yggdrasil, now that she wasn't bedridden from her over-exertion making Gungnir, she could properly move about again. Knowing she was still very low on colour, however, only really having enough to keep herself alive, she journeyed a couple miles away

The horrors

Out of Sight ;; Text in ALT

*Catalyst paces back and forth in her cabin, looking over plans she has laid out across her workbench, several blueprints scattered here and there, intricate designs and parts of something much greater* ...If this Distortion problem continues to get worse, I suppose it'll have to come to this...

*Has been slowly adding progressively larger snowmen to the floor of inhumanities' beaches for the past couple hours in random areas of the floor* ...Now we wait... *She pulls out a beach chair and parasol and sits down to see if anything follows up from this one*

@thecyangrin.bsky.social Bestie, I got something that I believe belongs to you from an anonymous "M" individual. I'll hand it to you next time we see each other!

...I am deeply conflicted, perhaps Carmesi is making the bird better and they are capable of... some, minute change. But at the same time, I wouldn't be surprised if they slipped something into this. ...but given recent events, I'll be willing to give them at least some inch of trust for this gift.

*Catalyst, having taken off her coat as to not get it full of sand from the beach in the Floor of Inhumanities, slowly digs into the sand like one of those lizards until she's pretty much completely hidden in the sand* //GIF for reference on what shes doing//

I'm going to have fun with that weird beach going on at The Library, I've been having a bit too much time spent pouting and worrying, I should take some me-time and just have fun, and from what I understand, beaches are often the most fun locations next to amusement parks.

I don't know how to feel about this.

Why am I not surprised this is the very first thought they'd end up having...

...I suppose it is in my best interest to give aid here. @thecyangrin.bsky.social Best Buddy, I need my claw back so I can safely use W Serum. I never took it off of you.

I wonder if I should be more active with helping those I know out with things, or if Eclipse would rather I stayed behind to keep a watch on Yggdrasil to make sure nothing bad happens to it. I know what being passive has lead to, sure, but should I aim to actively give aid to those I care for?

Because today is Father's Day, I suppose I should say some things in relativity to the event. Fuck you, Apollo, you miserable failure of a parental figure. And, well, I still miss the man I consider to be my actual father, I suppose. Even if they're a tree in a tree right now.

There may be too many fanged fish in the Waterfall Woods... I've been casually wandering around the place and have been getting jumped by the miserable red monsters for the past couple hours now. Anyone know someone who'd wanna kill an unreasonable number of fish? [//Fanged Fish pictured below//]

*After having spent the majority of her day, she finally puts down the finishing touches to the Second Stratum of Yggdrasil, she looks around content with her work* ...And that's done! [For reference to what she's spent her time making: ] Now just to do one last thing...

Well... Now that things are a bit more stable around here, I suppose I should start doing the thing I said I'd be doing. *Catalyst walks down to the base of Yggdrasil and sets up a little 'Under renovations' sign, asking not to visit the 5th Floor of its interior for the time being*

*Catalyst takes the resources Chess got for her before slipping away further into her cabin to get to work on a project she considered long overdue, the body was easy, sure, and was the first thing she'd assemble*

... Well, I have an idea of what I'll have to set out to do. If they can help me, I should be able to help them. Of course I'll need to handle something first so that I'm not wasting time walking from place to place...

Fixers are interesting to me. Whilst I'd never want to be a fixer myself, due to the tasks required not aligning with my own, In a place as fully desperate as The City, the niche they fill for it is understandable.

I apologize for my lack of response to these, now that I'm in a better space, I'll be sure to respond to them. As for this question: Yes, given what I can perform can be considered such a thing.

...Ah. I see.

// Yo just gonna retcon something real quick: When Catalyst crashed out, instead of it being a global colour drain, it's just a large area around Yggdrasil. Was told what I did earlier was beans, and yeah that's true, so just an adjustment that ultimately won't impact much but is less absurd! //

It is nothing more than a simple title, similar to that which Colour Fixers have.

...Very well.

...It's come to my attention that maybe the flood thing still impacts those I care about due to what they've done as a result of The City or without their own say in the matter. If they're at risk I'll figure out something to help them at the very least.

It seems the reason I came back to The City will be handled by another. Very well, I suppose it's time I take my leave back to Yggdrasil. I only hope that this individual doesn't behave similar to the birds in their quest for justice.

if I don't acknowledge them, they'll eventually go away...

I finished my little drawing for what I plan to make later. Just gonna need Chess's help to get the stuff from C Corp I think? Is that the claw making one? to get the necessary stuff to put it all together. I plan to have it be controlled with the mind, too, so... "Jojo" as Chess would put it.

who knew sketching an entire body would be this difficult? At least if I wanna personalize it, anyways. It's not like I need to follow the standard for how Claws look anyways, just kinda needs the arm as far as I understand.

You know, I've actually got a plan of something I want to truly try and create. Something that hopefully won't backfire, as well. I... might need a hand at getting some of the things I'd need for it, but if all goes well, it should prove beneficial. I'll have to do some research, first, though.

//back at it again with this one....this is my last revision bout abnos that would fit naymon (i hope), the newly added abnos are sunset wayfarer, centipede apostle, and stuck in heaven

// Decided to draw Catalyst instead of sleep. Here she is when she turns her arm into a blade. She calls it the "Cataclysmic Claymore". She knows full well that blade isn't a claymore. The "Hilt" is also her arm/elbow, so yes she can actually use it. it isn't a png of a sword pasted onto her. //

@bloodmoonenforcers.bsky.social It has come to my attention that at some point I might actually need to partake in combat to help with matters, and I should probably attain some combat experience to that end so I can be properly useful in such instances. Would any of you be willing to train me?

Yes, I do in fact eat and breathe. I'm unsure if it's from necessity or just to appear more human for breathing, or if it's so I have the option when it comes to eating.

Considering I now know the existence of an Ex-Beholder, I have to wonder when an Ex-Claw will show up, and at what point we'd be able to jokingly make a Reverse The Head or something.

I feel there's some comedy for me actually considering the logistics of repeating the... clear... mistakes of that Black Forest location, ultimately, when I did carry the small idea of making my own guardians for Yggdrasil so I could step away more frequently and leave it in good hands.

I've... never been an Arbiter, I just resemble one and have the abilities of one, plus my own due to my unique singularity that I have within me. I've never once worked for The Head, either.

It remains dormant currently. Why, were you planning on toying with it again or something?

Well I suppose with everything going on being something I can't help with, I'll continue to make small improvements for Yggdrasil, while also trying to get my mind off of more... frustrating issues.

I've decided to write something in my spare time. I hope you all enjoy it. [// Note: This isn't something actually wrote by me, it's just the opening story from Magic Pengel Quest for Colour. ] "Introduction of Colour: ~The Tale of Two Kings.~ Long ago... the world was a place devoid of colour,

...As much as I dislike my father after learning exactly what I was meant for, I've only just now realized I never truly saw the notes of his own research, merely being told a summary by that one fixer group. Would it be wrong of me to want to learn his research for my own purposes?

So for April Fools I had a pretty good idea.

I do not believe I've properly encountered other Arbiters before, but from what I can recall, they're not the nicest crowd to be around. So I'll say that I cannot give a solid confirmation, but if the rumors are true, then likely not.

I have finished reading the poem. It was an interesting little read, though not one of my favourites from Edgar Allan Poe. For me that would be his short story, "The Tell-Tale Heart".

...what word is this supposed to be censoring? Regardless, I am no murderer, if it's meant to be an individual.

...And yet more of the bird's tales have come in I see. I suppose that's... one way to go about handling their plans.

@bloodmoonenforcers.bsky.social I'm gonna come to the office for a bit as I have nothing to do at Yggdrasil for the time being. I hope this will be alright.
