Chapter Text

Slight context
- age is determined by vague hints I’m given about discovery NOT formation because then the numbers would get weird trust and they’re already insane.
- A lot of personality traits especially pertaining to interests come from stats taken directly from the wiki (I put too much effort in) but I had to take quite a bit of creative liberty to actually make these characters because we get barely any info on any given moon aside from Embrion.
- Yes these gals are immortal and they have the morality of immortals who don’t have a ton of consistent contact with humanity. They do their best with what knowledge they have.
- They are all girls, being that terminology like “sister moon” is used I went with female alongside the inspiration from Mother Nature.
- Pronouns are slightly strange because any of these gals are just ok with being called “it” because they are personified moons. They accept pronouns as a concept and all of them use at least some variation of feminine pronoun but if I put “it” as a pronoun it means it’s a pronoun that one of them may feel validated by or prefer (u don’t have to use it tho it’s not disrespectful)
- Finally, this summary of each character isn’t everything to know about them. That’s what this entire fic is for I have put in..a lot of effort this has been a project of mine since late January.

N E WAY onto the sillies I created

41 Experimentation
Alexandra May Lincoln
She/It
22yo
7’4
- Middle child of triplets
- Bubbly and energetic demeanor
- Plays stupid but she’s actually insanely smart
- Overshadowed often by the others but she’s just happy to be there
- Experiences the trouble of being an autistic extrovert
- She has called humans fascinating to their faces and will do so again
- She has called other moon ppl fascinating to their faces and will do so again
- “Oh you should ask Assurance” (she knows the answer but doesn’t say anything for some unknown reason)
- Looks up to Assurance a l o t
- Throws rocks with surprisingly precise aim
- Silliness is suffering from her
- Morbid curiosity
- She adores bugs, worms and creepy crawlers in general
- Just straight up picks up the entities she finds because “they’re so funny”
- Probably has some bones from an unknown source somewhere she’ll give some to you if you ask nicely.
- *looking at the ship intensely* “oh wow! That’s a security risk!” *doesn’t tell the travelers what the risk is*
- You can ask her for help getting loot back to the ship and she’ll just straight up do it
- She’ll even hive run if she finds bees outside so you meet your quota if you’re nice to her
- Actually pretty lonely since the people who show up are new and either they just straight up die or don’t die and then go to Assurance for the better opportunities
- Others being chosen over her does cause a bit of self doubt
- “Sorry that came out wrong I know because Offense said I’m bad at social cues.”
- If she likes you she’s probably gonna stare at you
- Very very slightly sadistic in a mad scientist way like she doesn’t wanna hurt you she’s just curious
- Just trying her best with what little resources she has
- Manic, probably pixie, defo not a dream girl
- She’s a mechanic if her name didn’t give it away she absolutely loves working on robots, trains and cars
- When humans started industrializing on her surface she actually worked as an engineer for a good period of time and then as a train conductor before being abandoned
- If you are specifically icky to her or ur crewmates she may or may not kill u
- Does know how to make a flash bang and will
- Don’t be fooled by the silly she’s sad someone give her a hug immediately

220 Assurance
Charlotte Eloise Armstrong
She/Her
25yo
8’2
- Eldest of the triplets
- Calm and collected demeanor
- She’s tired trust
- Like PLEASE let this gal take a nap I don’t think she remembers the last time she felt rested
- The responsible sibling™️
- “Oh yea if you go in there ur gonna die”
- Somehow if someone seriously messes with Experimentation or Offense and they get away with it they will in fact go missing on Assurance
- “Welcome to,,,me I guess.”
- If she had them she would offer u an edible
- If something startles her it gets kicked
- “Cmon Offense chilllll”
- She had no idea what a cat was until a human showed her one once and now she has a genuine longing to see one she tells everyone she meets about cats
- She does have the blind dogs though which she will just watch sometimes, she’s not even scared she thinks they’re neat
- She also named them and can tell the apart even though no one else can
- The most patient individual to ever patient
- Doesn’t like the company she openly thinks it’s stupid but doesn’t hold that against the employees cuz she knows they don’t have a choice
- When you land your ship and before you take off again at midnight she’ll just be sleeping leaned up against it somehow like how did u get there??
- “I’ll do my best to sssure your safety haaa,,get it”
- Yeaaa she’s got the jokes the puns if you don’t have a sense of humor that’s unfortunate for u
- Probably snapped the neck of a bracken because “how do you like it, jerk”
- Does her best to lead by example for her siblings but sometimes she feels she falls short and doesn’t deserve the admiration Experimentation has for her
- Sometimes she just holds things in her mouth when her hands are full but it’s scary because it’s usually heavy things
- Oh you thought she wouldn’t be neurodivergent? HAAAA
- Very skilled in combat but it’s unknown as to why because she really never fought. Most of her life was spent helping humans in factory distribution because of her strength.
- She ended up starting to work young though and as such ended up hurting herself quite a bit while she was employed. Her worst scar goes from her neck down to her stomach because one time she was messing around and fell out of a moving cargo trailer while it was closing
- She kinda experiences loneliness because a lot of the humans she comes into contact with frequently end up dying to the quota or leaving early
- “Dude I’m eclipsed here today go away” (affectionate)
- Not nessecarily too smart but very wise
- Probably used to have a teeth necklace or sm
- Also a bug liker arachnophobia has a phobia of her
- She probably likes the taste of metal I’m ngl
- Pissed at the previous residents of her moon because they left their empty bottles everywhere and didn’t save her any to drink
- She can cook which surprises everyone, even her
- Chronic pain from that time an entire chunk of her surface was ripped apart but she doesn’t really care and is happy because Offense exists

21 Offense
Clementine Lynnea Pierce
20yo
She/It
6’10
- Youngest of the triplets
- On guard, defensive demeanor
- Trained in combat and parkour early on
- Probable military experience
- Has zero chill and even less fucks to give
- Can’t escape the neurodivergence girl u tried it and failed
- “You aren’t the stupidest person in the universe but you better hope they don’t die.”
- Yea nah she will insult you without swearing
- Low tolerance for bs
- “I’m eclipsed today go away” (affectionate?)
- She doesn’t hate you in particular she hates everything
- May or may not have a gun
- Speaking of which if an entity tries it with her she’s just gonna throw them
- Give this girl an edible
- Or like a really good nap
- Lonely in the same way Experimentation is as out of the triplets Assurance will almost always be picked
- Probably won’t help you with loot so she doesn’t have to talk to you but will keep an eye on you
- The jacket she wears was from one of the only consistent visitors to her. She inherited care for people from Assurance and Experimentation. Being so young she got attached quickly to that frequent person. One day though they died in one of her mines and she wasn’t able to help them in time hence her angry and defensive behavior
- On top of this she has seen the struggle that Assurance sometimes goes through with pain. She feels guilt and resents having splintered off to a degree that she’s not really aware that Assurance is happy she exists
- Yea get this girl a THERAPIST PLEASE Cuz I accidentally traumatized her
- Plus the lore drop would be insane
- She’s really good at masking to a degree that she’s not great at knowing when she can chill so to some moon ppl she may seem standoffish but tbf she IS standoffish
- On the flip side she is totally badass and knows it
- “This is dumb and weird.”
- HATES the company like hate hates this gal is upset by the mention of it
- Rather than being a bug enjoyer this gal loves technology from loot to technological entities she will literally just go up to an old bird and just try and take it apart
- Despite her hatred for basically existing if she sees an employee in trouble she’s still gonna save them because she knows they don’t wanna be there as much as she doesn’t want them there
- Does she even sleep? I think she needs some sleep she’s cranky
- Half that cranky behavior also comes from blatantly rejecting her inherited instincts of care for humanity
- “If you make another pun about my name I’ll let the dogs get you.”
- If you get her to laugh that means u win and now are forever protected by a vengeful moon personification
- U also unlock, actual conversation with her and her carrying half ur loot back to the ship plus anything else she can find so you make quota
- Unbelievably passionate when’s she’s not busy hating everything she’s loving everything but barely anyone even knows
- She’s unsure of when it happened but at some point she did start to get along with Experimentation who is just happy to have her around these two cause a lot of chaos
- She’s literally a genius like actually
- Bites when she fights
- Catches the rocks Exoerimentation throws creating a terrible game of catch
- Probably grabbed a coil head by the spring
- CEO of dropping anything and everything into bottomless pits she just wants to see it fall

✨Context intermission‼️

- The green witches are next. I decided to go out of order just because of the various connections each character has with eachother that make their placements near eachother important. The only ones switched are Vow and Offense in the entire note here.
- These gals are kinda intense each having their own set of modifications to deal with the hostile aspects of their landscapes, they did this to themselves and considered it a nessecary aspect of their personal survival they have not been mutilated. Some other moons unfortunately were not that lucky.
- They aren’t triplets like the first three. Vow and March are sisters but not related to Adamance. Either way they consider eachother very close as they face the same struggles and came to the same conclusion as to solve them they have shared many a near death experience.

56 Vow
Penelope Isla Marshall
She/They/It
24
7’8
- Chill apathetic collected demeanor
- Seriously unserious
- Kiiiinda a stalker ngl like she’s harmless if ur chill but yk
- Like she’s watching she’s a watcher. Like, she’s winning staring contests so much it’s a thing newbies do with her and yes she wins every time no matter what
- Probably bc her eye mod is literally a camera to make sure she can see at night, when it’s foggy and underwater. Yes she closes her other eye when she’s focused it’s scary
- Vow floods often and this girl just walks underwater without a care
- She doesn’t care about much actually she just doesn’t think things are that deep. Well she does but she doesn’t want to unpack all of that
- May or may not help you with stuff
- “If you think I’m gonna say something like ”I Vow to keep you safe” …then you’re right haaa.”
- She’s an introvert, she doesn’t mind interacting with humans sometimes but if she gets overwhelmed she will make a point to continue to watch but just out of sight
- This is easy because she modified her boots to be somewhat of a jetpack, on Vow you have to stay out of sight of the fauna so she just shoots herself up into the trees
- She’s hit her head many a time
- Still experiences loneliness but kinda embraced it in a “I don’t need anything from anyone” way
- Secretly though she needs a hug and a quiet person to be around
- This gal is mentally unwell and is NOT dealing w it well she’s lonely asf and she struggles with how others perceive her worrying that everyone thinks she’s a monster but ALL OF THAT is kept under wraps because she doesn’t wanna worry March and Adamance (they’re already worried girl)
- Not the most fond of the company because she doesn’t like the idea of the silly lil guys she watches having to suffer for a quota
- Has called humans cute to their faces and will again
- Not in a flirty way more in a detatched way you’d call an animal video cute
- Can cook but she treats it like chemistry which is terrifying
- *gets injured* “be so fr right now”
- If you don’t see her she’s in the trees
- Like she just lays across branches and somehow they just don’t break
- “If I die tell Assurance shes hot”
- You guessed it the moon personification has adhd and depression but she doesn’t know that
- “Yeah I’m pretty sure I’m not straight but I’m too busy with not dying to work through that.”
- Yea she’s gay
- She likes just watching the creatures do their thing she finds them fascinating
- *holds up a deadly entity* “Hi there lil guy”
- Used to be super wrathful when she was younger because the humans colonizing her kept tearing down the forest but now she’s just chillin
- She’s still kinda wrathful tho
- Yk that meme that’s like calm, no energy, too much energy? Shes no energy
- Sometimes she just screams as loud as she can because she remembers she has free will
- *looks between the ship full of ppl and the sky ignoring the instinct that already tells her* “yeahhh I’m eclipsed”
- Possible god complex but like in a knowing she’s powerful but not giving a fuck way
- Despite the apathy she does care for people especially other moon ppl but even some humans. As it stands she does have favorite humans who show up and she herself is very close with March and friends with Assurance
- Cannot STAND quiet because she thinks too hard and loses the protective apathy so she hums and it’s terrifying to hear at night
- Would probably listen to metal
- The fangs are ambiguous to whether they’re a mod or not but since the others don’t have it it’s probably a mod she uses it to bite if a giant picks her up
- Loves bugs and snakes and will pick them all up but she doesn’t really like worms she’s almost got an irrational fear
- Probably distracts the tree keepers for the employees so they don’t get eated
- “Drop it” to a tree keeper or eyeless dog
- If she consistently had it she would be addicted to caffeine

61 March
Jasmine Day Kingston
She/They
20
8’0
- Don’t be fooled by the lack of expression she is a goober
- Kindhearted, slightly intense demeanor
- Guys the moon girl has severe ADHD
- A thing inventor she invents things she is a mechanic
- Just straight up walks up to things. Entities, animals, humans, other moon people she doesn’t care she just wants to say hi
- “Fun fact!” and it’s the scariest shit you’ve ever heard
- She’s just a fast individual she does everything fast she tends to get wind burn from how fast she flies
- *watching someone drown* “it’s clear you didn’t fear quicksand as a kid”
- Doesn’t have great situational awareness but she tries
- Both monotone and hyper which is jarring asf when u first talk to her
- The jacket she has was a gift from Offense after her modification surgery almost killed her
- Speaking of those two they vibe since a lot of people coming from Offense go straight to March
- “Wait, if it’s always raining here how does my body know I’m eclipsed?”
- Big on disaster safety she may or may not be a doomsday prepper
- Her wings are her mod, inspired loosely by the bees on her moon and earth bees though because she is hominid and in fact not a bee she has four wings instead of two
- Also yes they are in fact attached to her
- The reason she went with wings is because the fauna on her planet tends to be faster, the jetpack boots didn’t do well for her. She’s not as fond of hitting her head on trees as Vow seemingly is so she worked her way around
- Though she tends to be overlooked she doesn’t resent anyone because she knows it’s not their fault and she’s not a huge fan of the interaction
- She just likes watching things happen not even nessecarily with people but in general
- Will just walk up to you holding the apparatus and hand it over
- Values freedom to a degree that she will do basically anything to escape someone else’s control
- *Person asking if they’re gonna die* “it’s entirely possible.”
- Absolutely LOVES learning about earth species she will literally just get on the ship and use its computer to learn about them
- “Hey do you think if this goes wrong it’ll kill me?”
- Doesn’t really realize that if something is gonna kill her it’ll just kill her she won’t really know
- A biter as a last resort and nothing more because “idk where you’ve been”
- Pretty reckless but it’s died down since she actually almost died that one time and saw how it effected the people around her
- *walks onto the ship disheveled but triumphant* “ur beehive is in the back.”
- Would totally be a sour candy enjoyer
- She’s a lil bit insane if that’s not clear
- Pretty susceptible to crashing out ngl because if she’s in an enclosed space too long she gets nervous
- She’s not an angry person she’s an isolated extrovert with horrible claustrophobia she tries her best not to make that anyone else’s problem
- Probably an angry crier
- Doesn’t like the company at all and offers to rig the ships to go off the grid for the employees
- She’s kinda like a shady salesman but shes honest
- She has walked the full expanse of her moon multiple times
- Holds her breath while focused
- Her wings do buzz but the hyperfocus she has drowns them out
- *hears ungodly growling, screeching or roaring from entities* “mhm yea I agree bud” or “and how does that make you feel?”
- Just jumps over the short entities
- The vial around her neck is straight poison and she will throw it
- If she is listening to music she’s out here accidentally singing aloud the most concerning lyrics ever
- Someone should probably check on her tbh

Adamance
Joy Brielle Harrison-McCoy
She/Her
28
8’3
- Wistful and sweet demeanor
- She’s a lil spacey until she’s needed
- Very very soft spoken
- *”What would u rate ur gf on a scale of 1-10?”* “she broke my scale cuz she’s so beautiful”
- As the eldest of the green witches she’s trying to teach the other two to take time to vibe especially w each other since they are siblings and were separated for a long time however calling her the mom friend would be incorrect
- Pretty introverted
- She’s always wanted purpose, within herself, within the things she does etc. She became a vet to help those who couldn’t help themselves. She also had a job as a pharmacist at one point but she one day got mysteriously laid off.
- She used to be very nihilistic as a sort of trauma response to being abandoned but she’s found herself really embracing the meaning in her life
- Her mods are the least extensive but maybe the most risky. Specifically she has a tail that is actually connected to her spine similar to March’s wings
- Speaking of her tail the end is a stinger. It works like a syringe where there’s venom kept in a vial that hooks to the actual stinger part. It took a lot of discipline but now she can control when venom is injected into what’s been stabbed
- She also has two modifications to the armored glove of her dominant hand, one being a grappling hook and the other being a long range portal device.
- She has the jetpack boots Vow has and along with the grappling hook and portals she’s got she can stay airborne for a long time which helps her through the hills and valleys
- The venom in her stinger is a paralytic because she hates the idea of causing anything or anyone unnessecary pain
- This gal is PATIENT. She has to be because it is incredibly hard to navigate Adamance
- She can basically make rope out of anything to climb the steep hills of the moon if need be
- Just straight up picks people up out of the quicksand patches
- She cares and as such will never say it but girl is TIRED of the bs
- Ngl she can make bombs but she can also bake a cake it’s just a gamble with her
- Passively chaotic she’s watching stuff go down and only helps if damage is going to be done to someone or something
- *gets stabbed* “ouch”
- *stubs toe* “guess this is the end”
- Is she a monk? No. Does she have monk mentality? Absolutely
- Company rules hardly cross her mind because the only people who go to Adamance are either people who won’t make it past their first quota or people who are on like their 15th
- Dude someone please talk to her she’s LONELY
- She picks up any entity or animal she finds man like listen she just picks up bugs no problem it’s the vet in her
- The shock of people showing up sometimes makes her come off as standoffish but she’s actually super nice
- She’s the most in touch with human morality of the green witches
- CEO of making up scenarios in her head
- She’s an amazing story teller especially if it’s horror
- Someone PLEASE check on her
- Like bro what terrors have u seen?
- Also CEO of lying to herself
- Scary good at making a tourniquet
- She also knows how to make a blunt
- Another moon person gave her the sweater she wears and a bracelet that broke
- She felt super guilty ab the bracelet breaking because this was before anyone knew of the true extent of her isolation she immediately told the one who gave her the bracelet and they appreciated her valuing the gift so much hence the beads braided in her hair
- Kiiiinda blunt but like not mean
- Will listen to ALL the tea she thinks humans are so interesting
- “Girl LEAVE HIM Please”
- Thought she was aroace until one specific person, this girl got the true demisexual experience
- She can totally do knife tricks
- Survivalist moment
- “Holy shit that actually worked” *she’s the one who made the plan*
- There’s really no consistent employees to Adamance unless they’re actually looking for something in specific so she tries to help but really she doesn’t know where it is either
- A mechanophobia haver because of the old birds on the moon as well as what she’s seen happen to some other moons
- She overcame that phobia as a nessecary means for survival when it came to her mod
- She has definitely accidentally stabbed herself
- Can catch basically anything you throw at her no matter how heavy
- Often there is a tower nearby the ships that land and she’ll just sleep there at the top
- She often doesn’t know if she should help or leave people alone so she does her best to do a lil of both
- Was taught how to spot mimics at a moments notice before they get too close she’ll literally just kick the masks off their faces
- She understands that the entities are just following their nature generally so she often takes care of the babies before they get aggro
- She doesn’t know a lot about the company but from what she’s heard she thinks it’s really stupid
- “I have a friend that can rig your ship for you”
- Noise tends to come as a surprise for her because of how quiet you generally have to be
- She can come off as eerie because of how quiet she is
- With other moon ppl she is a meme referencer
- *being attacked by an entity* “what were you saying?”
- She is often expressionless but she has the most precious smile trust
- Vow checks on her a l o t and while she says she doesn’t need it she greatly appreciates it
- Her modification was super scary and she knows some moons didn’t get a say in what happened to them so she tries to tell their stories

‼️🔥Context intermission✨🔥
✨‼️Longest one edition😱⁉️

- these next three gals look almost identical. Not because they are nessecarily but because they are constantly completely covered as the environments of their moons are freezing and constantly being bombarded by blizzards.
- The visors each of them wear have lights during the night and blizzards that heighten visibility, keep them warm and light up enviornments enough for them to spot entities outside both during the day and night this isn’t AS useful for Titan but blizzards still happen and it helps her to have a good light and heat source
- Rend and Dine are very young moons that never see the sun. They couldn’t be reached by any humans or even other moon ppl for a very long time as their planet orbits a white dwarf star.
- Since (by my assumption) they could only be discovered after the red giant and early planetary nebula phase of the star settled Rend and Dine are arguably much younger than Offense with no reference of what daytime truly looks like. They’re alone, desolate and cold in a constant state of darkness
- Now that IS sad BUT because they don’t KNOW daytime they have nothing to miss and view their situation as such. They are so used to darkness that light too bright may actually damage their eyes.
- My personal theory based on what we know as canon is that super rich people lived on Dine and Rend while the white dwarf star was still pretty hot regardless of the inhospitable environment because of war time that is canonical to Lethal Company. This leads me to believe that Rend and Dine as personifications were sheltered to a severely harmful degree and then simply abandoned when it got too cold.
- They aren’t really rude or anything. Honestly if anything they’re traumatized and severely socially stunted and just trying to deal with that as best they can but they’re still children and Titan does her absolute best to keep them at least sane

Rend
Annabelle Luna LeBlanc
She/Her
11yo
6’9
- Shy aloof and timid demeanor
- Pretty sheltered but she’s working on it actively
- Super curious possibly to a fault
- Actually the sweetest but it’s hard to see her like that when u first meet
- Got that :3 energy
- Despite being tiny, quiet and pretty shy she actively scares the shit outta everyone because frankly no one knows what she’s gonna do
- Unidentified accent like where did u get it girl? Even I don’t know and I MADE u
- Kinda monotone speaking pattern but animated at the same time it’s confusing
- “Important question, Flying or teleportation- wait you can already teleport…I would choose flying so I could get above the blizzard :3”
- Sometimes she’ll just straight up grab ppl but she’s learned that scares them so she’s stopping that
- She’s gonna lose the work she’s doing if you push her too far
- Insults ranging from “That’s why you’re dumb.” To “The snow doesn’t care that you’re here and neither do I.”
- Very smart, she can keep up with adults easily
- Often doesn’t know what to do with herself in social situations which can cause her to come off creepy but she’s actually just trying her best
- Tends to not believe what she’s told she’ll ask multiple people for different opinions, this isn’t an insult to you this is trust issues
- I would say get this girl a therapist but I fear she wouldn’t trust them cuz they’re not Titan or Dine
- If she hears music she likes she’ll do one of those lil stim dancey dances
- This gal can drive somehow if you ask her how she’ll make something up on the spot it can range from mundane “humans taught me” to terrifying like “It was the only way out” and that’s all you get
- Yes she has already taken apart your old technology and put it back together
- *crunch* “I like to chew the plexiglass”
- Her response to threats is to throw stuff at them
- She literally turned her boots into heelies to get out of indoor situations super easily
- Girl has a phone and headphones from the people who left she’s in her badass parkour w headphones in era no matter any ailments
- *gets called cute* “please reconsider.”
- A lil insane
- Ok maybe a lot but she keeps it on the down low
- This mainly stems from her thinking she was hallucinating a ghost girl while she was isolated only to discover that said ghost girl was in fact real when employees started scouting the moon and she watched one of their heads explode (that’s actually how that entity kills u)
- Yeaaaaa traumatized and a bit insane I’m so sorry girl
- “Alma (ghost girl) said…..fuck you.”
- “Well this is awkward” when the only reason she survived the ghost was cuz the ghost thought SHE was a ghost
- When meeting up with other moon ppl she modified her and Dine’s visors so they turn basically into protective sunglasses because the first time she was off Rend and saw the light it was agonizing
- Incredibly calm and timid but rumor has it she can in fact crash out
- Rumor also has it that her skin is freezing to the touch even when she’s offworld
- Trained herself not to cry while on world because between low body temperatures and surface temperatures her tears would freeze and to her that’s an inconvenience
- Very good at staring similar to other moons
- She likes helping the employees, she keeps the lights bright to guide the employees between the ship and the manor they collect from.
- Doesn’t understand what the company is she’s endlessly curious but no one seems to truly explain it to her
- Travelers often go to Rend just because they wanna say they did so she just follows them knowing she can’t stop them
- She’s doesn’t try to save them now. Only because she physically can’t. She took a terrible fall doing so and fucked up her back and shoulders by landing on the ice and rocks instead of snow she almost died and the only reason she didn’t was because the traveler she was trying to save uno reversed and saved her and brought her into a nearby manor where Dine and Titan found her days afterwards.
- She considers this an act of irresponsibility on her end feeling awful that it happened in the first place
- She’s gonna ask you questions you can’t avoid it even by going inside because bro she’s just gonna skate around u
- Straight up kows classified info somehow
- Rend is actually popular among humans this leads to many a situation
- Becomes a sassy lost child when people are actively on Rend employees or not
- The most dangerous things on Rend is the weather and the entities she uses that to her advantage
- “Wanna get struck by lightning? :3 didn’t think so”
- She can’t physically stop anyone from doing anything so she gets mean, well mean for Rend when they’re in danger
- “I specifically hid those masks from you guys but ok.”
- Oh ur making her uncomfy? She used ✨scary head tilt✨it’s super effective
- She found the clown horn and she wants u to know and if u don’t know u will
- *finds out it costs credits to visit her* “You,,spent money to come here🥺”
- Rend has no turrets, no landmines and almost all of the entities are avoidable pretty good for a hard world right? Yes‼️ all things considered but now u have to look out for a creepy slightly sassy lost child who follows you around everywhere
- *”You think you can just walk around like u own the place??”* “I AM the place.”
- She’s got a small group of favorite humans and once they were all on the same ship. They were all safe and kind to her for the whole day. That was one of the happiest days of her life and she calls it her birthday
- Unlike a lot of other moons she’s just gonna walk up and talk to you she will let you yap for hours she loves it
- *ship lands and the doors open she’s already on the rails* “Hiiii I’m Rend :3”
- She’s the quietest chaotic good individual u will ever meet
- Her morality is warped tho because of war time and isolation if you get too close she’s doing everything she can to push you away because she can’t stand being left alone by people she cares for again even if it gets u killed

Dine
Anastasia Isabella Ivanova
She/Her
13yo
6’8
- Aloof, sassy and timid demeanor
- She has a sword, she knows how to use it and will
- *whacks u w a yield sign* “Yeaaaaa cut it out oh shit that’s a human???”
- Yes the tiny child swears
- She’s definately committed crimes
- Similar accent as Rend it’s weird where did it COME FROM
- Extremely protective of Rend and even of Titan even tho Titan will literally just move her out of the way of danger
- Dine is much more dangerous than Rend. It has Old Birds, Turrets, Landmines the whole thing. My theory is that high military personnel lived there so Dine herself was taught to fight young
- She’s got some angry cat energy
- Half of Titan’s job while taking care of these two is just getting Dine to sit the fuck down
- Has absolutely grabbed a coil head by the spring
- *sitting on top of a dormant old bird* “If they can land on me and do what they want I can land on THEM and do what “I” want”
- She is at least partly existing out of spite
- Kinda comes off spoiled but like 99% of the time she’s right about what she’s mad at she just reacts wrong
- Secretly the most gentle soul she fights hard and loves harder
- She loves shinies and anything sweet. Now technically she doesn’t need to eat, none of them do but she is a candy enjoyer and no one will stop her
- Speaking of which this girl is gonna bite into hard candy immediately PLEASE don’t give her jolly ranchers
- She has a wicked scar across her face that her mask covers from the war she sometimes gets low and thinks it makes her ugly
- The amount of times this girl has almost died, survived out of sheer will and she’s STILL hard on herself AND SHES NOT EVEN AN ADULT
- THERAPY THERAPY THERAPY
- “How the fuck can I even be eclipsed WITH WHAT STAR BRO??”
- She’s got that “if I don’t then no one will” mentality
- How can a child be this sad bro she needs a hug
- This girl hardly blinks and backs away from anyone when she does
- On the other hand she will also let anyone in a 15 mile vicinity know she found a clown horn
- Or an Easter egg since they explode she just throws them to see what happens
- She literally trained some of the eyeless dogs somehow she’s got two she named Bart and Lisa
- Incredibly light on her feet even tho she’s gotta wear incredibly heavy gear to survive
- Rare threats like a lot of them even when she was around humans this girl will say shit like “I will snatch ur eyeballs right out of ur skull”
- One of the first gifts ever given to her was from Rend, it was a phone and headphones similar to Rend’s this girl has music privelages too but she’s gotta be much more careful with it
- *looks between the floor and everything else* “Yep that’s a land mine”
- Was offered heely boots and for her actual safety said no this girl is clumsy when she’s just chillin
- Can trip into a cartwheel somehow it’s terrifying
- Dine is not popular at all with humans so when she sees them it’s kinda shocking to her and she’s just basically like wtf are u doing here??
- Travelers often come to Dine for the same reason they go to Rend, to say that they could do it. She’s bitter about what happened to Rend because of empathy and willing to save an inexperienced traveler. She doesn’t often help them.
- She does help employees though, they don’t have a choice and don’t come here because of hubris
- She’s not a huge fan of the company she knows a bit about it but not a lot. She doesn’t like the idea of innocent people possibly suffering under someone though
- She kinda likes some employees better than others and by kinda it’s blatant
- It’s easy to be liked by her and easy to be hated too especially if you’re not close with her
- She doesn’t know what people do when they’re not fighting so she thinks employees are fascinating
- She gained a lot of respect for humanity one day when after she had the realization that the weapons humans were using could never have been beaten by a child with a sword powerful moon personification or not. A new employee on ship duty comforted her even while she cursed humanity for leaving her to die
- That human still shows up makes sure she’s ok and all that
- Emotionally unstable moment ngl and she straight up tells people she’s unstable but we love her
- She doesn’t let instability stop her from taking accountability but like usually it’s a realization she makes after the initial situation
- She can have flashbacks but they’re pretty rare and far between
- She’s too busy being an agent of chaos to focus on all that (her words)
- If you find her on a roof or high place looking super pissed off she just avoided a flood
- Still sticks her tongue out at people she doesn’t like
- She gives people nicknames no she doesn’t ask ur name first they just depend on ur personality
- *the ship lands and doors open she’s off in the distance walking towards them* “morning dweebs”
- When referring to a whole group you all become nerds or dweebs
- If she asks your actual name she actually REALLY cares and will remember forever
- Probably would love Deadpool
- “Hey that’s so me” *It’s the scariest thing ever*
- On normal days she knows she’s cute and uses it as an advantage
- *finding out it costs credits to go to her in the first place* “haaa they think I’m valuable :3”
- *On the rare occasion that the ship lands at a mineshaft facility* “welcome to the dineshaft”
- She’s trying to get it to catch on
- Chocolate covered coffee bean enjoyer she may be a lil insane
- “You don’t get brownie points for not getting us killed dingus”
- She’s actually like one of the only moon ppl who eats
- ✨Scary head tilt✨ user as well but in a she needs to hear u say what u just said one more time so she knows she’s got an excuse to totally crash out
- She’s getting better at empathy trust it just takes time when ur a child and also a veteran we love u Dine ur doing ur best

Titan
Kyria Lenorah Mikovskaya
She/They/It
28yo
8’10
- Tough but caring and kind demeanor
- Someone get her a #1 mom mug RIGHT NOW
- Autism 🫵
- No nonsense gal she’s ready to fight entities and people alike and WIN
- She’s the oldest and also the most in need of a nap I believe
- This girl is STRONG she used to be a miner and factory worker when humans inhabited Titan.
- Somehow knows how to speak Russian
- Gets got by EVERY optical illusion
- “Breathe bro there’s no way it’s THAT serious.”
- Humans didn’t really know she existed even tho she was right there she finds this hilarious
- The coat she wears is part of factory uniform the humans used to enforce. When she met Dine she gave her one as a symbol of faith in her capabilities to survive and then Rend got one a while after she met Titan as a reminder that she’d never be truly alone again
- On the other side of it the fabric around Titan’s wrist is a bit of a bandana that the two wove for her as a token of thanks
- This girl got that reverse climate change drip (canon)
- “I got chased by two tree keepers to get here. What trees are these fuckers even keeping?”
- Greeting the super scary deadly entities early in the morning? Yep that’s her thing
- She’s lowk unhinged but in a silly way
- She doesn’t believe in temperatures that aren’t the feels like
- *Finding out it costs credits to get to her in the first place* “Wow that’s not the stupidest thing I’ve ever heard but the company should hope I don’t forget it.”
- Oh yea she HATES the company for tormenting employees
- She’s chill with the employees though but she does think they’re dumb for spending money to basically either leave before 1pm or die
- The most popular of all the moons for employees (aside from Art) but still she really doesn’t get it she’s even talked to Artifice and Assurance about it but bc of their disconnect with humans neither of them know why they’re popular either
- Sometimes on days few and far between you can land on Titan and be greeted by her plus her kids. They will all help you find what you need to meet quota and it’s basically a guaranteed win for the crew
- doesn’t even bother trying to hide the masks at this point because too many of them are just straight up mimics already. She doesn’t know if tragedy and comedy ones will fight eachother when they’re not after prey and she would like to respect the dead even if the masks themselves don’t
- Oh you’ve known her for more than a month? Yea she’s asking if you wanna know how to make a flashbang
- “Oh yea one time I got struck by lightning it was painful”
- Fashioned some old parts from the abandoned factory into something similar to a motorcycle that works on ice she has crashed it multiple times
- Her landscape used to be lively full of people and life in a big city and she had to watch during the war as everything around her froze. She has pictures she keeps of what Titan was like beforehand
- “I was freezing when u were born”
- Because she was discovered while she was still habitable the cold sometimes makes her very tired to the point she has to leave everyone for a while and sleep for anywhere between a few hours to a few weeks. At first this was super scary for the others especially her long sleeps but she’s always woken up and it seems like she always will as long as she has people to care for and things to do
- Like Dine she tends to have flashbacks but hers tend to be a bit more intense and cause her to have phobic reactions towards certain entities specifically indoors like the Jester and Coil head. She never speaks about it except one time to Adamance who swore to secrecy
- Speaking of those two they bonded over having concerning people to check up on and they’re friends Titan gave Adamance a great deal of encouragement about her mod as well as helped her complete the blueprint
- Probably used both quarrel and slay💅 in the same sentence
- Absolutely says both “ur mom” and “bite me”
- Definately a Dr Who fan
- Will talk about the space time continuum if u let her
- Once a human did so which culminated in her sitting on the ship with said human braiding her hair and explaining the 4th dimension
- The visor hides it but she used to be a GLASSES WEARER (like me Ofcc)
- Her eye color being the same as her kids’ was purely coincidence and she loves it
- Absolutely INSANE at puzzles whether it’s like jigsaw puzzles or video game puzzles she’s figured it out before I she probs has a portal speedrun world record
- Oh and she’s also insane at battleship
- Once while not on Titan without all her winter clothes on someone mistook her for Vow and those two sat down to both had a small crisis about that because bro how tf
- Also didn’t take the heely boots even tho Rend offered because there’s just so many stairs on Titan it’s truly unfair AND she actually wanted them
- She’s a legend,,,no actually people used to think she didn’t exist but she does
- She’ll just straight up jump on your ship before it can land because why the fuck not
- She doesn’t understand how she’s still alive so she used to have a “fuck if we ball”mentality
- Her response to “I’m running away” is “no you’re not” and then sitting said runaway down and talking through it instead of just letting them go
- Case and point of a traumatized war veteran can be a better parent to two equally traumatized children than most adults to normal children I fear some rethinking must be done
- *sees someone approach her with a clown horn* “Hand it over” *snatches it*
- It is highly likely that she has a gun
- If you’re sick and come to Titan trying to do anything but ship duty u are getting yelled at it is inevitable
- “This place tries to kill me on the daily and I AM the place so you better know what you paid for.”
- Pissed at the entities for trying to kill her so much she’s not even scared just mad ab it
- Knows how to hang on the ceiling it’s terrifying
- If there’s anything she can climb she’s already doing so
- Yes she will make a high ground reference when she gets to the top cuz she’s a NERD and same girl same
- She loves baby animals give her a chance to talk ab baby brackens trust
- Knows how to play an instrument no one knows what one but she’s so good with pitch and rhythm that it’s one of them
- Her blatant refusal to talk ab her life makes her sound suspicious and she is totally fine with that
- She’s not even trying to be suspicious but she answers mundane questions with “don’t worry ab it.”
- Probably knows the brothers Grimm versions of fairytales
- She’s got that Finn adventure time moment where she has super long hair under her hood
- Oh the buildings on Titan are tall? Too bad she’s on the roof
- “Oh my god I’m Spider-Man” after doing the scariest parkour ever
- Yes she is a stimmer she stims
- OCD and Autism haver I already said it I’m saying it again
- She just likes the sounds some buttons make if it makes a funny noise she’s probably pressing it
- Throwing something at her? While she’s not looking??She’s catching it and throwing it back at ur head good job
- If there’s one thing she can’t stand it’s slow walkers
- “Don’t kin me” when seeing someone do something she totally would do but wouldn’t advise
- She can type crazy fast on keyboards AND phones and switch effortlessly it’s so scary dude
- The majority of her story is a mystery to everyone except Adamance and mayyyybe Artifice she intends to keep it that way not only for the sake of no one pitying her even though they wouldn’t but she likes the aura points

🩷✨Context Intermission💥😱
💅👀final edition™️💯
- The last two gals I’ll be talking about are very tragic Artifice and Embrion were both heavily victimized by war and as such were modified to the humans’ needs at the time before they were abandoned both having been referred to as bioweapons due to Moon ppl’s advanced durability and immortality
- Artifice is about as old as Adamance and Titan but younger than both by a small margin. Titan, Adamance and Artifice are all friends being able to bond over experiences they have all had with war, climate change and modification.
- The age range for Artifice comes from speculation mostly. Like ngl there’s not much on Artifice at all so I’ve had to work with very little. I did have the state of the facilities, climate change and the fact that it’s said explicitly that war tech was left on the planet. This along with the fact that the buildings’ states on Artifice suggest immediate evacuation that happened long enough ago for decay but not for complete collapse
- We’re also told that Artifice used to have life and a catastrophe left it barren similar to what’s implied about Titan.
- Embrion is the same age as Dine, a bit older than Rend but just the slightest younger than Offense. This age comes from the fact that Embrion was home to secret facilities and testing grounds before it was “officially” discovered. My work around for this was that she showed up when humans started actively building on her surface just before the moon was used as testing grounds.
- Both Artifice and Embrion are weaker than average moon ppl because humans made it too dangerous for them to stay on their moons so for them it’s a visiting thing which is a problem. Being offworld too long can be detrimental for them but Embrion and Artifice just work around it it’s basically science for them at this point though Artifice goes back much more than Embrion ever could and when Embrion does go often Artifice follows.

Embrion
Ignicia Esther McCoy
She/It
13yo
7’2
- Demeanor depends on the case, around humans she’s angry, violent, defensive and volatile but around other moon ppl she’s sweet, bubbly, timid and empathetic if a little strange
- Basically this gal was an extremely abused kid so she’s now got the social skills of a newly recovering teen
- Very mentally unwell maybe not completely unstable when she knows she’s safe but she’s NOT ok
- Despite the awful things she’s gone through she’s honestly a bit of a 2000s scene teen girl stereotype without being a total brat she loves fashion, colors, cute things etc
- Will drop everything to help an animal or even a hurt entity
- Sometimes chills (ha) with Rend and Dine when the blizzards get too bad she is warm like all the time so she can get them to safe temperatures pretty easy
- She gives questionable life advice like “Biting is like kissing but better cuz there’s a winner.”
- 99% of the reason things are actually ok for her is because Artifice stopped her from absolutely losing it or just straight up dying when she was younger
- Artifice actually went to kill her before they met because she was incredibly traumatized by the war tech that Embrion was used as a testing ground for and there was a miscommunication that made Artifice believe that Embrion herself was testing said war tech
- When Artifice got to the moon ready to kill this gal she found a newly abandoned, sick and traumatized child trying to relearn how to walk on a prosthetic so she could leave the lab she was trapped in to MAYBE find some medicine
- Artifice took Embrion in, got her offworld, basically nursed her back to health and lil 10yo Embrion, having not experienced decency much at all basically wanted to owe Artifice her life. Artifice wasn’t for that at ALL though. Especially after having come to the moon to kill her. So in order to avoid that Artifice gaslit her way into being a mom
- Yeaaa Embrion is INTENSE but like can u blame her?
- She’s insane at balancing because she has to balance on her prosthetic to be able to take off without breaking her remaining leg those boosters are STRONG
- Yes that does mean she’s hopping on one foot a l o t
- She can totally walk like a cryptid too
- Probably runs up steep stairs on all fours
- Chronic “chat” sayer
- Mad that her name technically means fetus. So a lot of people just call her a nickname, she’ll basically respond to anything
- “Oh that sucks, Alexa play Megalovania.”
- No depth perception girlie (same)
- Both fascinated and terrified of AI
- Artist with artist instincts when she’s left alone
- Goes thru the struggle of having Mechanophobia and being a thing inventor
- Once she was vibin with Dine and Dine asked her to do something cool so she spun her prosthetic all the way around. There was a minute of silence and she was ready to hear it from Titan for traumatizing her kid but she accidentally inspired Dine to be a thing inventor
- She won’t threaten you, no no no, she’ll threaten what you love
- Stuff like “I know how to disassemble your car’s engine in the most efficient and effective way without even taking it apart. The details of the problem will be so intimate that no mechanic will believe you.”
- Draws blueprints and dress concepts on the same page
- If she gets ahold of fabric she’s making clothes trust
- WILL go on a rant about the fire dress from the Hunger Games if you let her
- She loves the stick bug meme I just KNOW IT oh and also Maxwell
- Probs does that thing when playing scrabble where you put down what you think is a nonsense word that you can get away with and then realize it’s an actual word she’s so real for that
- She can’t really do makeup on herself but her hand is insanely steady so everyone asks her to do it. She doesn’t say it but it helps her feel better about her situation
- The mod on her cheek used to be part of her nose but mainly her eye. It was a way for her to be able to breathe on her moon and identify potential targets but the programming made her big mad at other moon ppl and once she almost actually hurt Adamance when she tried to help her calm down.
- What was Embrion’s solution to this? Rip the mod out entirely.
- So yea both Adamance and Artifice were kinda mad at her ab it but at that point they woulda been beefin w an 11yo and they both truly understood where she was coming from
- She doesn’t put in a prosthetic eye either because she’s scared it’ll just trigger the programming again plus the absence isn’t painful and she keeps it clean
- As a result she will say things like “Don’t come in I’m indecent” when she’s cleaning her eye
- Now the mechanism doesn’t work right so she can growl and purr. It’s a thing she does because her chest feels weird if she doesn’t
- She is incredibly warm, Rend and Dine lay on her a lot for this reason and it’s a win win cuz they’re both super cold and it cools her off they make jokes about how her purring rattles their bones
- She’s made both of them a ton of cute lil outfits I have to draw them soon
- Her prosthetic leg is sorta a paw and so she could feel herself walk and speed up recovery during the time humans thought they would use her as a weapon they gave her beans and claws
- No she will not let u touch the beans AND she will call u a freak if u ask
- *being told that humans actually went to Embrion* “They’re soooo dead” or “Ew get them off”
- Sometimes she gets really down because she can’t cover her mods without making her life harder and she just wants to be seen as normal
- She doesn’t know about the company or its employees. She doesn’t really care, the reason she acts the way she does towards humans is because she’s completely and utterly terrified of them and anger is the only way typically to get them to leave her alone
- This was also how she used to react to other moon ppl that weren’t Artifice for a while but Adamance, after learning of Embrion’s existence and the fact that she’s a child was,,,adamant about making sure she didn’t isolate too much and accidentally became her other mom.
- YEAAA coparenting Embrion calls Artifice mom and Adamance mother when referring to them to other people but when she’s just talking to them she tends to call them both mom
- By proxy Vow and March tend to call her their little sister
- Offense and her are in a sorta cyclical moment where they both think the other is so cool but they struggle to say it so March is the responsible one and it NEVER goes as it should
- She can bake and probably decorate cakes if she wanted to because her hand is super steady but she’s never tried
- She never uses oven mits either it’s terrifying
- The reason though other than being superheated is because if any damage comes to her tail she has heat resistant gloves both on her normal and prosthetic arm to repair it
- Speaking of her tail it’s always at least warm and if she’s tense throughout the day it gets hot sometimes enough that before she sleeps or something she has to dip it in cold water though tbf she likes doing this so
- She kinda alternates wagging her tail like a cat or dog based on circumstance and she likes the whoosh sound it makes
- No one truly knows why they gave her horns she doesn’t really like them but once someone showed her a picture of her photoshopped without them and she was so weirded out by it it inspired her to be okay with them
- Her shoe on her prosthetic leg was something she made entirely on her own it was her first project and the hardest because she used actual crystals
- She made the belts she and Artifice have as well as the dog tags she’s got out of the metal of old birds as proof and closure to herself and Artifice that they could be destroyed. It’s a sign to both of them that they’re safe now and wartime is over.

Artifice
Olivia Patience McCoy
She/They
27yo
8’9
- Ah yes once again her demeanor depends. She is pretty hostile towards humans, not to the extreme degree Embrion is but she’s still unstable around them and easily becomes violent. She won’t sleep, chill or be in front of humans at any point. Around other moon ppl though she’s caring, thoughtful and kind of a little tough to read
- Get her a #1 mom mug too
- Very monotone ngl but not because she doesn’t care she’s just traumatized
- Climate change drip frfr
- Actually speaking of outfits the shirt she has was given to her JUST before her colony evacuated. During the war it was ripped almost to shreds but Embrion was able to save some of it
- The green streak in her hair is a tribute to the life that used to flourish on Artifice
- Also about her hair, the braided buns she keeps it in were what inspired Offense’s bridesmaid braid. Artifice even showed her how to do it once March got the girl to finally ask.
- Probably doesn’t wear gloves while fixing her hair dye tho she gets to have green hands sometimes
- And thus also makes jokes about having a green thumb which are accurate btw she is god tier at taking care of plants and even had a lil place for them to grow that she visits everyday in the early afternoon
- She isn’t a huge fan of sunsets because that was what she saw when she truly started to understand that she had just lost everything
- She was a medic during the war and because of that she is very hard to move. The last things she truly reacted to were the split off between Offense and Assurance and the true extent of Embrion’s modifications.
- Probably a Benadryl taker because I KNOW melatonin would give her nightmares
- Yea I said it she’s an insomnia haver
- She’d totally listen to Duality era Set it Off
- She cannot draw generally. Well actually she thinks she can’t because she can’t think of anything to draw except cats she loves drawing cats she’s got a sketchbook full of them
- She kinda brute forces problems a lil bit which lead to the funny ways she actually ends up solving them
- Like breaking her boot for her prosthetic which she added blades to because “What they gonna do when I mod their unconsensual mods?”
- Kiiiinda a thing inventor but less so than others
- She loves meteorology tho straight up
- She’s able to go back to her moon much more than Embrion but she has to leave by nightfall or preferably earlier
- Even though humans really fucked her up she does help employees if they show up the day she does because she frankly has nothing better to do
- She will be short about it tho she’s gonna be annoyed by their existence but she also gets that employees don’t have a choice and weren’t the ones who hurt her it’s just a trauma thing she’s working on
- She doesn’t care about the company but because it makes others upset she tends to side with them and dislike it
- She doesn’t have a favorite human and probably never will. She thinks some humans are kinder than others and that’s it
- She has mastered the art of sarcasm
- She is much gentler about taking off than Embrion, mostly because she could break both her prosthetic and her leg if something goes wrong and her boosters are more evenly split so she can use her wings alone to ascend before even needing her boosters
- “Please excuse me” and then she goes and dissociates for like three hours
- She’s got a cat plush named Lady Juniper Cheshire Nicole Goose Digerido Regirock of the Eastern Isles the fifth. She just named it June but Adamance, Rend, Dine, Embrion and even herself had a hand in the MANY nicknames the poor plush has
- There’s a rule in her house that if a loud noise is gonna happen and the person making it knows they must announce it. If they don’t know it’s gonna happen they must immediately say “I’m okay” if all’s good and if she hears nothing after a loud noise she’s grabbing the first aid kit
- She also has a rule that no one can give unsolicited chore advice unless they are preventing damage or they themself are willing to be tasked with the chore
- She has totally outran eyeless dogs before even without the wings
- This gal has an apiary she shares with March. She’s mildly allergic to bees though so she brings the flowers for them and March harvests honey n stuff
- Her and Adamance are GAY and they’re IN LOVE and it’s pride month as I’m editing this so no one can say SHIT RAAAAH
- She would totally love adventure time she seems like she would enjoy surreal shows
- CEO of singing lullabies she’s got the perfect voice for it
- Acquired both an Xbox and PlayStation somehow.
- She’s the type to like both slime rancher and fnaf ngl
- Ask her about the system shock lore
- Or the 9/11 to Ellen DeGenerous butterfly effect
- Her response to ‘cry ab it’ probably would be “okay” in the most monotone voice ever
- She can lay in the family guy death position and knows it
- She’s lowk got issues with time
- Would drive through a tornado warning
- She hates the smell of pumpkin spice because she actually loves the smell but it doesn’t taste like what it smells like and she feels deceived on a deep level
- Sensory issues ngl like she HATES when her hands are too warm but that could also be the doctor in her
- What isn’t the doctor in her is her consistent need to wear socks all the time but that’s hard to do w a prosthetic so she just walks around with one sock on constantly
- Her prosthetic does give her feeling in her foot but it’s like a muffled sensation for her it feels almost like she’s already got a sock on so it’s fine still kinda a sin tho
- She only wears the armored gloves if she’s on Artifice because she hates the way they feel even with other gloves on underneath
- Do NOT let her drive she will ramp the car PLEASE DONT
- She even had a drivers liscence and IT GOT SUSPENDED DONT DO IT
- She will try to manipulate humans into letting her drive and then they’ll learn their lesson
- Oh she heard u sneeze? Ur life for the next 48 hours is over she’s making SURE ur not sick
- She’s got a notebook of conspiracy theories she thinks are right and she’s probably right about them honestly
- She can’t stand earbuds in her ears so she managed to get her hands on some headphones and it was a total game changer
- Titan and her go way back because Adamance introduced her to Titan after the war where those two finally started processing what happened basically they got group therapy’d
- They bonded over time spent tracing back the tech that destroyed both of their ecosystems and harmed many others. They found three moons which fit the bill. Indoor weapons and traps were traced to Rend and Dine. Not out of origin but out of the sheer amount of them there. While outdoor weapons were traced to Embrion for the same reason. They formed a plan to go find and confront these moon ppl cuz they assumed that these gals had sided with humans and both of them were ready to kill a bitch to avenge their ecosystems but we all know how that went
- They both felt pretty intense guilt after that ordeal but Adamance made sure they were able to in some capacity let it go because they did much more good than harm by seeking them out no matter the original intent (GROUP THERAPY)
- She has issues with certain sounds especially certain music can cause her to spiral because of PTSD and OCD
- She has to count to feel safe specifically people she has to know who all is supposed to be around her and count them every now and again just to make sure they’re safe
- She takes care of a disabled child but when someone offered her a pet she broke down because she was scared she wouldn’t be what it needed. This is a fear she has with her child too but she does her best to keep cool ab it
- She needs therapy

Gordion (the Company Building)
Seraphina Amelia Bennett
She/It
29(?)
9’1
- somewhat of a horror story, no one really knows who she is but some claim to have seen her both on the station and on her moon. Employees even claim she enters their ships on high quotas
- The only one who had known her is Titan but only fleetingly she claims to have known Gordion in childhood but much before truly tangible memory.
- Titan doesn’t talk about her much but when people lay heavy on the horror aspect of Gordion’s story Titan reminds them to be respectful
- Gordion herself used to be a very soft spoken serene woman. Often described as lively and independent despite her quiet demeanor
- She had friends, family, a life like many others
- She used to love meteorology being the type to walk out in storms happily
- It’s said she used to adore humans keeping them safe and happy on her moon. It’s said by some that she orbited the golden planet though as it is legend no one knows
- What everyone does know however is that the planet she orbited was swallowed by the company and she barely survived. Only not becoming an exomoon by getting caught in a close orbit with another more massive planet.
- When the company rose to power, Gordion offered herself to seal the company behind a wall. She was part of a big effort and resistance to save what few were left from its hunger after losing her planet to it
- Soon after that the crews started showing up. She would follow them to and from each place until there were too many to keep track of.
- She was haunted by the screams of her planet’s people, presumably crazy until someone confided that he and his crew heard them too through their walkie talkies.
- Not long after, she “died”. The story says she drowned in her own ocean in a fit of grief and fury.
- She’s said to appear as an apparition to those who are about to die to the quota. Said to be tall, soaked through and crying in her favorite dress. She will ask for your help finding her friend Desmond. He is dead. Do not go looking for him and do not tell her that he’s dead or she inadvertently will kill you. She will remember his death on her own and leave you alone after three days.
- During the time she is with you she won’t know anything about herself or where she came from. All she will know is that something terrible is about to happen and she needs to find her friend. It’s theorized that when she appears she can only remember as far back as a couple minutes before she died.
- Often times she will appear holding the apparatus of the place employees were looting. She has a strange connection to the power source and normally this would be fine but since she only appears at high quotas and almost all lucrative moons have old birds and brackens this is almost certainly a death sentence. She does not know this as she died before either of these creatures were discovered.
- Employees say she almost always appears during high quotas when more than one apparatus is on the ship. The superstation was passed down to others but the story changed and as of now it is considered bad luck if two apparatuses are on the ship from the same quota.
- She’s generally considered an omen of death. Almost nothing is known for fact about her and all they have is the theories that go around but her story is one of resistance, sadness and death

Chapter Text

Sigurd’s Danger level: 35% I used weed killer by accident and Vow threatened to kill me. Super scary when it happened but that’s about it

Species name: Homocelestius.
Celestial personifications are individuals that as stated by their name personify any discovered celestial body.

They are not born in any human way but when their moon or planet is discovered they will greet the individual(s) responsible within a timespan of three days and will always appear as a young human girl.
NOTE: they will not grow meaningfully in your life time, their sense of time dialation is very warped.

First discovered in the thistle nebula on 8 Titan in 1930 celestial personifications slowly started becoming part of daily life and would continue to do so for years to come deemed especially helpful due to their advanced durability, immortality and omnipresence in their specific environment. However due to their history of forced labor, confinement and extensive study many are left jaded and traumatized.

Moon personifications are completely able to leave the surface of their world at any given time, however if gone too long they will experience illness and lethargy. This will not kill them as most things will not but it will make their lives harder.

In opposition, moon personifications will experience common solar eclipses. During these eclipses they tend to exhibit more instinctual and animalistic behaviors, most commonly nesting and aggression. Additionally they will experience a metamorphosis of sorts that will give them more animalistic attributes. No one truly knows why this is and why it only happens during eclipses as has been observed but it’s important to assess risk before traveling to any eclipsed moon especially taking consideration of the fact that many moons suffer days long periods of these events and even if you land away from where they’ve chosen to stay for the duration of their eclipse they ALWAYS know where you are. After an eclipse is over the personification often will take a long rest.

All in all it is important to remember when interracting with these beings that they are NOT human no matter how closely they relate to your likeness. Celestial personifications do not tend to share the consideration of human morality in their decision making process when asked about this many of them offered simply that it was “nothing personal.” They do tend to keep friends and acquaintances but it truly depends on the individual in question.

Chapter Text

In a cold dead world a child sits in a mansion alone. It’s cold outside and everyone’s gone. They’ve been gone for three days. They’re not coming back and she knows that because the whispers in the corridors weren’t quiet.
She misses her citizens though none native even by the youngest accounts. She is six years old but she knows how to live on her own because she knew they were temporary. She’s just too cold, too hostile. They left the weapons and guards, their toys. The toys don’t seem to care doing their jobs as they used to.

Rend talks to the toys. She likes them, she thinks they like her too because the jester offers its hand when she’s scared of the thunder or of falling asleep. Sometimes the jester seems scared too so she offers her hand first and suddenly the pep is back in its step.

The barber jumps around but never slinks out of sight to disappear, it seems to know it’s silly and it keeps its scissors closed around her. It protects her from the fast moving thumpers that she can’t outrun and distracts her from the gore.

The nutcracker doesn’t mind when it sees her, it puts it’s gun away and brings her back to the deeper parts of the mansion. Always back to the jester who comically frets over her. She’s learned that if she sees a nutcracker she’s explored too far. It doesn’t seem to mind though because it always gently takes her hand and lingers when she’s where she’s supposed to be.

She’s scared of the butler because she saw a knife in its pocket once. Plus it looks wrong, she doesn’t remember what humans look like when she first sees a butler but they prided themselves on smelling and looking nice. This was not human. The others keep her safe she’s never truly alone here.

There’s a voice in the back of her head that says that she’s only friendly with the toys because she’s a child. Rend doesn’t know how true that is but when she thinks too hard about it the jester pats her head and chimes like a denial.

When a human shows up it’s loud and scary. Too abrasive and rude, crashing about the mansion with no regard to the nemory of the place. She cries about the broken photos even if the people don’t care and while the jester wipes her tears the barber opens it’s scissors.

She doesn’t see any humans again for a long time.

The manor never really ends, she explores and one day finds a coil head. It’s tall and lanky and the nails in its body look painfully jutted. She feels bad for it and talks to it while she stares. When it’s head bobs back and forth she giggles and maybe the coil head wanted to kill her but it never did even when she could t keep her eyes open anymore. It turned around and waited for the jester that popped its head slightly out of the box just to be clear that its child wasn’t to be harmed.

The coil head would show up more after that. The barber and it seemed to get along, the jester would still sometimes pop its head up for a moment and Rend wasn’t frightened by it or any of them really.

Her first time seeing a bracken was strange. She didn’t know they could be found here and by now she was fascinated with science and mechanics to repair her small family. If they were ever hurt. She didn’t know if they could be hurt really she wouldn’t risk it.

The bracken stared and she knew not to stare back. It seemed shy about the way it carried itself but still she spoke. Told it that it was fascinating in a dead moon such as she and it almost seemed to bristle bashfully until it gained the courage and sat next to her. She decided to keep reading her book but now she read aloud and if the bracken mimicked what could be a purr she was just happy it was content.

Sometimes she missed humans, missed the little warmth her moon had before the atmosphere started snowing down around her. She felt selfish about that but the others understood. In a cold world that never sees the sun there is a child alone in a mansion. That child doesn’t feel alone though, that child is just doing her best.

Rend encountered a masked for the first time while alone. It was a comedy, and she didn’t even really hear it until its hand was on her shoulder and gripping so tightly that she was sure it would bruise. Being that she was at that point six years old and was scared out of her wits she did the only thing she could and that was squeak out a feeble “Hi there.”

Somehow that stopped this one, maybe in another world she would be dead and faceless like the other masked people but the comedy mask in front of her relented. It let her shoulder go jumping back slightly at the quiet and tearful “ouchie” it heard when she held her shoulder.

For some reason there was some sort of clarity, maybe because of the person who used to live behind the face of the mask or maybe just dumb luck but the comedy stopped and for a moment just watched Rend curl in on herself. Maybe it wanted to act on instinct but when it saw two big blue eyes stare back up at it and heard her quietly mumble “That was really mean.” It stopped.

The comedy looked at its hand for a moment, and made some sort of gesture like a sigh. Maybe it felt guilt or maybe Rend was just a really cute kid but the comedy shook its head and offered a gesture of remorse before carefully patting Rend’s head.

She flinched harshly at first but when she realized she wasn’t being actively hit by the comedy she let it continue patting her head for just a moment. It took a moment for her to find her voice again but she did and maybe part of that hinged on the hope that the Jester would find her but if she wasn’t alone she wasn’t going to be rude. “Can you guys…still hear over the masks?” The comedy looked confused for a moment, the question was innocent completely, this kid didn’t know better about asking questions when you first meet someone.

The comedy nodded to answer and she hummed in response. “Are you, the mask? Or the person inside?” The comedy pointed to the mask but then pointed upward to the person’s head. “You’re the mask.” It shook its head looking back and forth for a moment before grabbing the discarded pencil Rend had been using along with one of the notebooks in the library. Opening to a page it wrote in sloppy handwriting.

‘Both, we are the same now.’

Rend nodded. “So you attached yourself to the person?” The masked shook its head and started writing again more fervently than the last response. ‘I was born of another mask.’ The handwriting read and Rend responded momentarily with a quiet and solemn “Oh.” The comedy nodded and crossed its arms. “You didn’t want to possess anyone?” The comedy nodded, quicker this time and started writing. ‘It is instinct now to grab others. I cannot stop it.’

Rend felt remorse for the masked in the moment and carefully put a hand on its shoulder to which it quickly flinched away quickly writing. ‘Do not touch me or look at my face, I can’t control what happens.’ She nodded and drew her hand back. “Sorry mister??” She looked questioningly at the masked, it was wearing an orange jumpsuit common amongst the travelers that came and went nowadays completely covered and the mask covered any sort of answer she may have gotten from the tinted visor. It started writing again.

‘No, her name was Isabella.’ Rend carefully took a pencil of her own and opened a notebook, flipping many pages before writing the name down. The comedy made a gesture of thanks as she closed the book. “How did you know her name?”

This response was longer, and more than once she watched as the comedy had trouble erasing and simply chose to mark out parts that it didn’t mean.

‘We can know people. Masks whisper to their holders, tell them to put us on and we can save them. We hear their conversations before they know we’re there and when we’re transferred, even if we’re born from another like m- us, we gain their memories, mannerisms to trick the others..to spread out..

That was kind of creepy, even for Rend what with her large capacity for the strange and unruly. She remembered something that she’d read about in her studies. “So when someone hears the masks laughing..”

‘It’s usually too late by then..’

She guessed that she was happy with the honesty but that was pretty scary. She inched slightly away from the comedy and it seemed to nod in understanding. She decided to redirect. “What are the tragedy masks like?” The comedy seemed to think for a moment before writing again.

‘Harsher, crueler, much quicker a tragedy will be much more persistent it doesn’t need time because the moment you hold it up to your face you’re gone. Completely gone there’s nothing left in a tragedy masked. I do not like them.’

That genuinely scared Rend, she curled back in on herself inching further away without falling while the comedy started writing again.

‘Your fear is understandable but I haven’t seen a tragedy here, masks can only reproduce the kind that is transfered by the original wearer, take comfort that neither of us have seen one.’

It made a good point, and when she thought of it even the inanimate masks that Remd had found were all comedy which took the edge off her fear. “Thank you, Isabella.” The comedy looked between stunned and sentimental for a moment before silence overtook them once again.

As she found herself lost in her thoughts she started hearing quick and almost entirely silent footsteps immediately recognizing them as the bracken. It came up to herself left side and she immediately looked up and reached up to it grateful for the familiarity. The bracken carefully picked her up and held her to its chest and for a moment she appreciated the comfort of the gentle purr she heard before she raised her head and hand to wave to the comedy. When she looked over though the space was empty and the notebook closed, the chair neatly pushed in and the pencil left behind.

The bracken looked questioningly at her for just a moment before it started to walk back toward the Jester, being that it was seemingly in a hurry she must’ve been gone for a long time so she didn’t fight even if she knew she wouldn’t have anyways and let herself be carried.

Chapter Text

Celestials (any entity that personifies a moon, planet, star or other celestial body) are known for many things. Known for their strength, immortality and durability primarily in the thistle nebula, due to the quick abandonment of many colonies the development of the celestials’ focus or aura is something that went unstudied. This is an unfortunate development when in the opinion of many professionals here at the boat, it should’ve been a primary focus of scientific inquiry.

What we know.
A celestial’s aura is a sensation native to the celestial themself that grows stronger with time and their own personal experiences. Celestials are often defined by their aura when they are born, they are not easily mistook for a human child because of it and to humans the effects of direct exposure may vary.

Each celestial may have the chance to be born with varying strengths in their aura that will even out over time. It is highly likely they will be born with a weaker aura that fluctuates strongly but not unlikely that they will be born with a strong one that doesn’t fluctuate much at all and as celestials don’t know how to mitigate the effects when they are young it is prudent to be cautious around them.

The aura itself.
A celestial’s aura is primarily felt when you make eye contact with said celestial. Usually this is a direct way for celestials themselves to identify eachother but even they have their limits. Those who have experienced it describe the sensation of a celestial’s aura to be many things but it can truly be brought down to two major descriptions. Some say it’s a joyous sensation, often described as feeling of nostalgia and liminality. While others say it is a cumbersome feeling, described between something like mania or of warped energy and excitement with nowhere to go. The sensation itself seems to boil down to energy and how it works when it’s compacted into a being.

It’s important to note that one may not experience these sensations, or they may experience them both when in contact with different celestials. Celestials themselves often do their best to mitigate, or control the flow of that energy to ensure the safety of the humans they find themselves encountering. When asked if this harms them most just describe a tight feeling in their chest that disappears when humans aren’t in their general vicinity.

Concerns
Celestial auras are not something a human should be exposed to for long periods of time. Especially if they are unused to the sensations, or have experienced mental health problems before. Often times prolonged exposure can result in concerning symptoms some including lingering anxiety, depression and paranoia but are not limited to hallucinations, mania and panic attacks in worse cases.

Of course there are different cases for different kinds of symptoms and you’re primarily reading about the concerns people have brought up when discussing moon celestials’ auras in specific as they are the main celestials a human is likely to encounter especially in the case that you are an employee of the company.

Conclusion
Generally it is unknown as to why these auras exist. Some believe that it is simply because of the sheer amount of energy compacted into one being. Some believe that it’s an evolved trait from many years of interstellar colonization, a useful trait for celestials to easily identify eachother. Whatever the reasoning it’s important to be cautious as studies continue of any effects these auras may have on you or anyone you know.

Chapter Text

On a regular snowy day roughly five months after her abandonment, Dine is 10 years old and has always been curious. This was of course sometimes a fault of hers bringing her into dangerous situations and causing problems here and there but still when she heard an unusual howl in the distance she was already running towards the source before she could really think about it. She knew that it was a bad idea but something more than just curiosity started tugging at her as she approached especially when she heard another howl.

The voice was small, doglike she already knew that it wasn’t human but she’d never heard an eyeless dog sound like this. The howling grew louder and as it did so she realized that there were multiple voices of the animals cutting through the wind. It made it easier to find the dogs but she wasn’t sure what she was up against as she drew her swords.

When she reached the source of the noise she found a group of puppies. Stumbling and confused as they circled the corse of another eyeless dog presumably their mother. Dine knew she could hurt them if she spoke too loud but she would scare them away if she touched them so she carefully took a step in their direction watching as they all stopped. She counted four puppies each on guard as she approached. “Hi there.” She whispers assuming that it’ll be cut off by the wind but the puppies’ heads tilt and she kneels in the snow.

The four puppies tentatively approach her. Each bumping into eachother slightly as they try to get a grasp on their senses. They couldn’t have been more than a couple weeks old and Dine holds her hands out for them to find themselves. “That’s it it’s alright.” She reassures and the puppies start to circle her. “You guys must be hungry hmm.” She thinks on what she could do for them in the moment and has an idea. She taps the snow twice again putting her hand close to the paw of one of the puppies to offer it desensitization from her touch so she can pick it up. “I can bring you guys to some food.” She says even if the dogs can’t understand her.

It takes a while for them to understand that she’s not going to hurt them, young eyeless dogs tend to be fearful creatures even if they themselves are fearsome so she takes her time and every move she makes is deliberate. It could’ve been hours, minutes or days but at some point the puppies let her pick them up and she starts the trek to the nearest facility.

When she reaches the entrance she brings the dogs inside realizing how that probably was a bad idea considering how they immediately started growling and barking at a landmine. She decided not to bring them down the elevator but she continued onward looking for any biological entity she could find within the mineshaft she found herself in.

What she found was a hoarding bug and with a swing of her sword it was dead. She dragged it to the elevator and as she traveled back upwards she cut it into pieces for the dogs who by a miracle were still there. The most they’d done was explored a little bit one sniffing behind the stairs of the main entrance and two others pawing at the elevator as it came back up.

She brings out the slain hoarding bug and the dogs predictably immediately hear the sound of the pieces being dragged investigating immediately. They’re cute like this she thinks, even if others would’ve found it brutal. “Yea this is for you guys.” She says and feels a wave of relief as they’re able to eat without help. This tells her that they’re almost a month old by now and that soon they’ll be able to naturally be on their own.

The next days are like this. This mineshaft is downright infested with entities making her job easier when it comes to feeding the puppies in her care. Like clockwork every day she goes down, finds a hoarding bug or a snare flea or really any biological entity that she can take in a fight, finds something that she can store water from the caves in and brings it back to the dogs to eat and drink. At some point she finds an old phone, a magic 7 ball and a puzzle cube bringing them up with her to pass the time. By now she’s already started calling the puppies by silly names to be sure that they don’t steal each others food or water. It’s more of a sound thing to guide them but soon they start responding individually each beginning to know the name that they’re called.

Juno. The biggest of the group and probably the firstborn. She can tell it’s him by the two front teeth he’s still missing alongside the sort of striped pattern across his back creating something akin to crooked crosses cascading across his spine and shoulders. Gaining his name from the excitable demeanor that translated quickly to protective when startled.

Kato is the smallest, still missing quite a few teeth and being somewhat lighter in color than the other three. The main difference comes from the almost lack of pattern native to eyeless dogs on her back looking really like she’s only got one small stripe down her spine. She’s smart, learning to be gentle with how she takes food quickly and of the first to remember her name.

Bart is chaotic. He’s still missing a few teeth but not as many as Kato but he certainly knows how to bite. Always jumping around and playing with the other puppies he, Dine believes would benefit the most from going outside when he’s big enough to not get lost but he’s fiercely loyal. He’s the darkest of the bunch with the stripes on his back being very wide, looking similar to Juno’s and taking up a great majority of his shoulders and part of his legs.

Lisa is the calmest. She looks almost like the splitting image of any textbook picture of an eyeless dog. She’s missing one of her front teeth though she’s usually the first to know when Dine is returning with food. She tends to howl sometimes but Dine hasn’t heard her roar in the ways most common in eyeless dogs.

At some point Dine realizes that she’s inadvertently trained them. When she comes back up the elevator she walks to the corner of the room opposite of the stairs and she didn’t realise that she’d always said the same. “Cmere guys.” With a quiet whistle. But at some point they learned.

One night during a particularly bad storm there was a mask downstairs, it’s disembodied voice started calling to Dine. It was creepy and the dogs immediately knew that it wasn’t Dine. They seemed to know she was afraid of it too as instead of the normal happy barks she’d grown to associate with the group they’d growled through the night until it had gone silent. She payed no mind to how it knew her name, it creeped her out and she only ever thought about things like that when she was supposed to be resting.

After about six months the dogs had gotten big enough to go outside. She hyped them up about it, making sure they knew that this would be an exciting day and she never knew she could convey excitement by whispering the way she did. The weather was mild and at the time she walked out she hadn’t heard anything strange, so she brought the puppies out to play in the snow and they loved it. At some point they found another eyeless dog and Dine stayed quiet as they borderline harassed the animal. It didn’t seem to mind too awful much probably used to the antics of puppies though she observed how it was carrying the arm of what looked to be a forest keeper unknowing that they preyed on the giants.

When she brought the puppies back indoors she formulated a plan. She knew they would need to be able to hunt and if they preyed on giants, a creature bountiful in the frozen taiga that was her surface then they had a chance of they stayed in a pack.

The next day she brought up an entity from the elevator. It was still alive, a snare flea being held back by her sword from suffocating her as she jumped out of the elevator and toward the dogs they immediately heard the crawling and screech of the snare flea and when they heard Dine whistle they attacked. She told them for the rest of the night how proud she was as she slowly started them off getting used to eating live prey.

It took about a year for her to feel as though the puppies were prepared, she’d grown attached to them and though she knew they were still young, really still just babies she also knew that they grew quickly and needed to stay outside as the mineshaft grew too small for them.
The day that she took them to hunt their first giant was relatively easy. There were already a few that she could hear in the distance on this day and when one approached they caught on fast if a little clumsily as they adjusted to hearing alongside the wind. Because of their size the giant lasted them a couple days as well which was good for Dine as she could prepare them for the next time they’d be hunting. She didn’t want them to depend on her in a world where they could die if they didn’t learn so she did her best to teach them, thankful that they caught on fast. Soon she didn’t have to whistle around a giant for them to know to attack and soon they were able to stay outside for long periods of time alongside other eyeless dogs and herself.

One day everything grew too quiet. Dine came up the elevator of the mineshaft where she’d been looking for anything to maybe help her stay warm. The storms on her surface grew worse and there was a draft between the doors to the entrance of the mineshaft that plummeted the thempretures more than she could withstand. She heard two of the dogs outside running about and that would’ve been normal really if she didn’t hear them stop abruptly and follow up the silence with howls. These weren’t their normal howls like when they were playing or saw another eyeless dog. These weren’t excitable noises, they were scared.

She burst through the doors of the entrance before she could think too hard about it. “What is it you two?” She asks as she sees Bart and Kato circling the entrance, but only Bart and Kato. Something was wrong. “Where’s your siblings?” She asks and as if on cue Kato howls again followed by Bart. It doesn’t take a genius to know they’ve wandered off so she readies herself to search. “I’ll find them don’t worry guys.” She says and whether that’s to reassure them or herself is between her and god.

There’s a storm coming, she can sense it and she knows that the blizzard will be bad because there’s hardly anything out. Even Giants seem to be sparse during this time and all she can do is walk and call out to the dogs. “JUNO!, LISA!” She tries to hear any footsteps over the wind but her own panic is beginning to creep up on her and she worries that they won’t be able to survive as just two of them.

She walks for hours, or maybe days because her hands become painful and then numb but finally, finally when she calls to her dogs she can hear something answer. They come bounding over to her happily, maybe it’s the cold but she almost senses relief from the two puppies as they circle her and press their weight up against her. The warmth is nice and it gives her enough motivation to trek back to the mineshaft, guiding them as she went.

The next days became a problem. After she’d gotten back to the mineshaft she took a rest, finding that she had very low energy after walking in the snow for hours. She assumed she’d be able to keep herself warm during that time but at one point she’d fallen asleep and when she woke up her hands were somehow worse than how she’d fallen asleep with them.

Dine had frostbite.

There were limited resources in the mineshaft but Dine did her best to try to warm herself up to the best of her capability. Her hands hurt awfully for a while during that time, and really she thought it would be fine until they’d gone white. Now they were agonizing and unusable which was a big problem. She knew it was frostbite but denied it to herself vehemently. Even when she felt herself growing sicker losing her balance to vertigo, struggling to go outside due to the lack of energy and chills and feeling sick to her stomach nevermind that her hands were practically useless. She tried to ignore it because no one was coming to help her, there was nothing they could really do anyways no one knew how to treat celestial illnesses especially frostbite.

One day she’d fallen asleep. Shes unsure of when she’d done so as she really didn’t need to but when she’d woken up she heard the dogs barking outside the mineshaft and a giant…alongside someone swearing?

Well she was always curious.

She pushed herself upwards, swaying slightly as the world spun around her and taking a moment to breathe through the dizziness. When she walked out she really didn’t know what she was expecting, but a giant holding an incredibly tall woman and the dogs circling the giant and nipping at its legs was not what she expected. She could see the person’s struggle and before she could do much about it the giant stepped forwards and the dogs attacked causing the person in its grip to be dropped. When the giant was dead Dine praised the dogs who all wagged their tails and brushed their weight against her as the person watched in something between intrigue and fear. They finally managed to say something after a few moments which put some things into perspective. “Are you 7Dine?”

When Dine looked up at the person in question she immediately knew she was looking into the eyes of a celestial as the focus draped itself over her. She beckoned the woman inside as the dogs ate and immediately slumped against the wall. “Gimmie a second” was all she managed to slur as she stopped being distracted from how awful she felt. The woman beside her carefully put a hand to her face where she’d just struggled to take off her mask. “Shit you’re burning up. How long have you been like this?” All Dine could offer was a shrug. “To answer your earlier question though, yeah I’m Dine which one are you?”

There seemed to be something that eased away from the expression of the celestial in front of her. She wondered if they thought she was human or maybe they thought she was someone else. “8 Titan..I came looking for y- wait how old even are you?” Dine can’t help but chuckle as the realization sunk in. “10 years old if you want human age though I’m pretty sure I’m like..420.” She found herself leaning to the side as the little weight on her hands became agonizing. “Why’d u come..looking for me?” She managed and the lady, Titan looked more worried. “We can talk about that later let me see your hands.”

Dine almost didn’t listen but she was able to respect the record time that Titan had put the pieces together so she laid on her side and offered her hands. Even when taken gently as they were by Titan the feeling made her cry out and swear. “This is..this is bad.” She says and Dine already knows but she still falters. “You need to get this treated now.” Is what she’s told and she scoffs. “Never knew anyone who could treat celestials.” Titan nods understanding. After having been in a similar situation Artifice was truly a godsend. “I know someone.” She starts but stops and Dine raises an eyebrow. “But,” she asks and Titan sighs. “..but you’d have to leave your surface.”

Dine shoots up from where she’d been laying looking at Titan like she’d grown a second head. “Why can’t they just come here?” She says in bewilderment. “Because kid this may require surgery..and even if she could do that here it’s too cold to assure no more damage is done.” Dine appreciates the honesty but the thought of leaving the puppies churns an awful feeling in her stomach. “I can’t..I can’t leave my dogs.” She says with conviction but then hesitates. “What will happen if I don’t go?” She asks and Titan’s grim expression tells her everything. “I imagine you’ll probably lose your hands, or die.”

Dine swore again. “Are you serious, I have no choice then.” She vents and Titan empathizes. “I know that it’s not ideal but..you’re a Hazard S moon.” She doesn’t say it with any sort of judgement and that is foriegn enough to Dine as it is. “You need your hands kid..you don’t have to stay any longer than you need to either.” She tries to comfort Dine and it’s so unusual the girl almost feels afraid. She remembers how the authority figures taught in an attempt to sound like this type of comfort and fell flat. The idea that this could be fake too makes her hyper aware of everything Titan says or does. “Why did you come here?” She asks bitterly and Titan looks almost ashamed but she has the conviction in her expression of honesty. “I wanted to confront you. I was told you helped in developing the toys..something that killed my human family but if you’re 10…” Dine knew she’d already realized but still she was upset, there’d been no development on her moon that wasn’t explicitly permitted by the citizens of her planet Lost and Found or 85 Rend the thought making her angrier than the implication itself. “I wasn’t even born when they showed up.” She grits out and Titan nods. “I know that now.”

They sit in silence for a moment, Dine shifting every now and again to try and find some position that was painless for her hands and Titan trying to think of something to say. All that comes out in the moment is a quiet but earnest enough that Dine can truly tell. “You didn’t deserve this.” It makes something break within her and she struggles to keep up the anger that she’s clinging to because this woman seems kind, she could’ve just taken Dine instead of giving the option and she didn’t. She could’ve fear mongered, tried to make Dine feel like everything was too late but she was still honest about the outcome of her situation regardless of what she chose and that was so foriegn.

“What’s the name of the person who knows how to fix my hands?” She asks. “68 Artifice.” She’d heard of the name, knew that the moon had been overrun by old birds. The weapons made by her side of the war when they thought they didn’t have a fighting chance anymore. Really it made her sick and the idea of confronting that thought when Dine herself had the robots on her surface made her skin crawl.

“Does she hate us? For the old birds?” She hated how small her voice sounded when she asked and Titan shook her head. “It wasn’t even us who sent them..they just wanted to start a war and she knows that.” Dine wanted to be able to react. In the moment she was angrier than she’d ever been but all that showed of it was unshed tears. Titan moved almost like she was going to wipe them away but she stopped and Dine was grateful.
Titan tried to redirect as she knew time was on the line. “If nothing else then you can just get treatment and leave okay I’ll keep the coordinates to this place so your dogs will be safe too and we can track the days.”

Dine wants to refuse, wants to tell the woman to fuck off and that even if she lost her hands she could still work around it but the world was still spinning around her and when a draft from a gust of wind blew through the doors she shuddered and pressed herself up against the wall brushing her hands against the concrete wivh almost made her cry out again. “Fine.” She says with gritted teeth as the pain in her hands becomes more appareant. “Just for the treatment nothing else.” Titan nods. “You have my word.”

The trek to the pod that Titan landed in isn’t easy. At some point Dine loses the strength to walk as the dizziness causes her to dry heave and Titan has to carry her. She hates it and with how awful she’s feeling she finds herself crying when she realizes that her dogs had followed them and that she has to say goodbye to them even if it’s temporary.

She keeps talking through the tears, telling them she’d be back soon and reminding them what she’d taught them. When Juno tilts his head like he doesn’t truly understand she completely breaks down and for a second just holds onto the puppies while sobbing uncaring to the pain in her hands. The only comfort she finds is when she gets into the pod and Titan points to them so she sees them running towards another eyeless dog who’s targeting a giant. “They really love you.” The woman says and Dine nods unable to wipe the tears she desperately wants to hide. “I love them too.” Is all she can say because she’s already been read even if the idea of this woman knowing that she cares about anything made her want to run away.

At some point before they launch she finds the strength to stop Titan and ask, well demand mostly, the direct coordinates to where they are right now and when she’s told it lifts a weight off her shoulders. Titan is kind even as Dine only expresses anger and disdain. She watches in something like awe as Titan puts that all aside to grab a piece of paper and write the coords down. “It’ll be okay.” She says as she shows Dine the paper and how it lines up with the computer in the pod. Her vision swims as she focuses in on it, or well she tries but it really just feels like trying to read in a dream. All she can do is look out the window and attempt to focus on the fleeting figures of the puppies until she physically can’t anymore. The last thing she hears is a quiet “They’ll be okay.” Before the world goes dark.

Chapter Text

It starts on experimentation, like many things do. The celestial herself, Artifice, Adamance and Assurance are on world as Experimentation was gathering old abandoned supplies to bring to Gordion’s surface to replenish the store for the employees. It’s a tall task and there’s a lot of ground Experimentation has to cover with how many employees only show up once and then never again.

Experimentation, with her ever consistent energy seems happy as can be to do something like this. She’s carefully giving instructions as they align with her surface and the rest of the group is listening though they are rather relaxed. It’s unlikely that there will be too much danger, plus the weather is mild so the landing is smooth and all seems to be going well.

When they exit the pod however, they come face to face with an abandoned company ship. There’s dried blood on the railing and immediately Artifice and Adamance spring to action to possibly save whoever could be in the ship or at least end their suffering. Experimentation and Assurance quickly follow in hopes to help the two but when they reach the entrance of the ship they only find bones.

It’s morbid to be sure, they’d been dead for years upon years at this rate they must’ve come on a stormy day as the power to the ship was knocked out and the antenna was damaged irreparably. Adamance says a prayer and Artifice wishes their spirits luck.
They stay for a moment before Artifice walks out to tell the two siblings what seems to have happened from their position at the side of the ship and Adamance begrudgingly brings out the walkies and flashlights the crew had before their death. They all had full battery with low decay and that was impressive if not even more morbid. The mood is of course quite somber after such an encounter and now it almost feels a bit more like this is something the group wants to get done quickly. However as she’s about to start walking out she hears an almost excited “Oh shit!” From Artifice and she runs out because she already knows what’s happening. “There’s a fucking car!”

Yep.

Adamance sees Artifice opening the back of the cruiser and searching for weed killer which she successfully finds.
“Love, is this a good idea?”Adamance asks and Artifice shakes her head. “Just in case.” She cryptically says and Adamance takes that because to be fair a cruiser would be very beneficial to their task.

Experimentation pipes up as she jumps off the railing of the ship. “Okay, I’m on board but how would you get it up the platform?” Adamance immediately raises her hands. “Please..don’t ask her that.” But the damage has been done and Artifice is already calculating. Adamance taps her shoulder. “Dear, we may not even need the cruiser.” She reminds and Artifice nods. “It’s alright Ada you’re right..let’s get going.” She says and the four head into the facility.

…

When they’re done it’s almost 8pm, there’s an angered dog outside, and Adamance alone is carrying four shovels, two jetpacks and at least a dozen walkies and flashlights in her bag. Not to mention all the things she’s dragging with her. She meets up with everyone at main.

Everyone except for Artifice.

Adamance immediately starts asking questions, rightfully so because of the things she’d been told about the outside along with the fact that she’d heard a thumper and seen a snare flea and while she knew Artifice was completely capable she was still worried. “She just left to start her transfer. She reached the complete other side of the facility, she had like four jet packs, three boomboxes and her bag was completely full.”Assurance says. “I’m not really sure who would bring jet packs here with how many big things there are but…”

Experimentation who was sorting through the items she’d found to prioritize whistled and Adamance put down one of the jetpacks she’d been carrying as Assurance continued. “So she said something about multiple trips.” Assurance supplies and Adamance nods satisfied with that answer. “I’m going out to meet her-“ but her words are cut off as the group hears a loud THUD from outside.

Adamance already knows what’s happening as Artifice walks into the main entrance of the facility slightly disheveled and breathless. “I brought the cruiser.” She says and without another word she walks down the hall to where the rest of her stuff was left. Everyone looks at eachother for just a moment. Adamance is stunned but at the same time her girlfriend’s determination is evident and she can’t help but be endeared.

She picks up the items she’d placed down and walks out the door only to immediately stop dead in her tracks and just stare for a moment. The cruiser was parked at the top of the platform as she’d been assuming but not only was it past the universal train tracks unique to Experimentation it was wedged under the garage doors giving continuous access to the facility even as it started reaching the countdown hours.

She starts loading up the cruiser because like, what else would she do? She sighs in relief at the weight on her shoulders brought on by the jetpacks, shovels and her full bag being relieved and stretches as she hops off the cruiser. Artifice walks over to meet her along with Experimentation and Assurance, the latter of the two asking the question everyone truly has. “How the fuck did you do this?”

And Artifice, the woman Adamance holds so dear, the one who’d just achieved this incredibly impressive feat shrugged. “Math and weedkiller, we only have a little more time that this’ll still be safe.” She says as she puts the rest of the supplies in the back of the cruiser. “Is that everything?” She asks and the three other girls look between eachother in various states of shock before nodding. “Cool, you guys ok getting in the back with the stuff or do you wanna head down and to the pod?”

They look between eachother again, Assurance and Experimentation get in the back of the cruiser and when Adamance doesn’t follow Experimentation pokes her head out. “Are you using the cruiser Adamance?” To which the girl nods. “I’m just going in the passenger side if that’s okay.” She looks between Artifice and the two desert celestials. “Sounds good to us.” Assurance confirms and shuts the hatch tight.

Before Artifice gets into the front she turns to Adamance. “Love, I know you’re not a big fan of the cruiser. If you want I can fly you back to the pod.” The sentiment is sweet and Adamance appreciates it greatly but shakes her head and kisses Artifice on the cheek. “I trust you.” She says and means it as they both climb into the cruiser.

Adamance had never truly seen the thought process that went into the various antics Artifice got into when it came to driving. It felt strange seeing just how calculated she was considering the actions she was about to take. She lined up the cruiser directly with the magnet on the ship, even getting out multiple times to be sure they would not land away from it.

When she was sure everything would be okay she put the car in park and grabbed the weedkiller. She opened the hood and filled the cruiser and Adamance realized that that calculating look was Artifice being sure that she wouldn’t be able to boost the cruiser more times than she needed. There was so much method to something that looked so uneblievably reckless and Adamance found that it truly summed up the personality of her partner in some odd way.

When she closed the hood Artifice got back into the drivers seat and yelled back at the two girls in the back to hold on. When she was sure they’d heard and done so Adamance literally saw in real time as Artifice locked in. She took the cruiser out of park and drove it slightly backward just barely enough to be noticeable.

Then she boosted it.

They went flying over the train tracks instantly and just as they passed the border of the platform she boosted it twice again and Adamance saw the look in her eyes that showed the true extent of her focus. She boosted one more time and they immediately aligned with the magnet landing easily as the cruiser stuck to the ship. The pod had been parked right by the cruiser so everyone immediately piled into the pod with what they could carry to wait out the entities until morning.

When they shut the door Assurance and Experimentation were immediately checked over for any sort of harm the stuff in the cruiser had caused them the worst thing being a bruise on Assurance’s shin and a very shallow gash on Experimentation’s arm. Artifice apologized profusely but the two looked at eachother and then back at the girl before shrugging. “Unironically I would do that again.” Assurance says and Experimentation perks up. “How did you do that?” She asks and Artifice looks confused but endeared as she makes sure they’re ok.

After the two were sure to be alright and taken care of Artifice turned to be met with Adamance immediately. Stood with her arms crossed and a kind but firm look on her face she heard a quiet ‘oooooh’ from Experimentation and Assurance. “Olivia Patience McCoy that was incredibly reckless.” She starts off and Artifice doesn’t deny it rather she nods with a quiet “I know love.” and Adamamce continues. “But it was also incredibly impressive and you have some serious skill you are brilliant.” She says with conviction and Artifice blushes as Adamance hugs her. “Thank you love.” She says and Adamance hums. “Of course, you are my cosmos dear but I will never be hearing you out on any rant you go on when regarding your drivers license suspension again.” She says and Artifice doesn’t respond for a moment, just enjoying the hug but when she does it’s with a nod and “that’s fair.”

The next day they’re able to quickly and easily get all the supplies from the cruiser easily. They only have to make one trip to get it all into the pod and Artifice isn’t smug about it but she does think about how the cruiser made this a lot easier.
