#InReverse: Meg hasn't had much cause to laugh lately. She could use a laugh in her life.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar is pretty amiable and keen to laugh. It tends to be genuine and friendly.

And there'd be paintings OF Zonhaspalis, too, in other cities like Nemoros, serving as promo for tourism.

#ThroughTheCracks: There are a lot of painters in the ALCEFS. The stations do try to foster the arts and human creativity.

#ThroughTheCracks: The Impact may have caused new deserts to form on Earth, or increased the aridity of existing ones. I don't have names at the moment, though.

The ALCEFS of course doesn't get rain because it's made up of space stations. You could call it a desert at a stretch...

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar does live alone. But if they didn't show up to class one school day, without notifying the class, their students would be rightly concerned. Skylar also meets with their family fairly regularly.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar can always use faults, so why not make them impatient? Not as much as Felix. But especially if there's injustice happening, Skylar would be impatient for it to be resolved as soon as possible. It's a good thing they live where they live.

#ThroughTheCracks: The ALCEFS was created to be exactly my kind of utopia, so absolutely! I'd go there to stay.

There's unfortunately no magic in the ALCEFS as it exists during this story, but I am working on a crossover with #TheDragonblood that might introduce magic to it.

If the Akewan afterlife really exists, they'd get there eventually. But being Soulless in Nemoria does make you the recipient of mistreatment.

#ThroughTheCracks: In the long term, Erron is hoping to pave the way towards building a Matrioshka brain to simulate endless happiness.

#ThroughTheCracks: Erron has their smarts. They think, at least. I imagine they are pretty smart, just not as superhuman as they believe themself to be.

Kye has his fame. And he's also pretty strong. Not quite as fit as back in the day, though.

#ThroughTheCracks: Erron has their poisons, which they get from a secret provider.

Kye has the drug for immortality. And the blackmail needed to keep his hands on it, so he can sell it to the desperate and exploit them.

#ThroughTheCracks: Erron is PostEk, and PostEks don't really believe in higher powers. And the ALCEFS doesn't really have authorities. Maybe they fear popular judgement, and that it'll prevent them from carrying out their plans?

#AntagonistApril 25

#TheDragonblood: Laannig has me stumped. I could've spent the last half year thinking about this one, but oh well.

#ThroughTheCracks: Erron makes educational videos, but those do have some propaganda and stuff in them, so maybe that doesn't count.

#ThroughTheCracks: Erron was raised PostEk, but thinking themself smart, made their own deductions about what the religion should say about what the right way to act is, and thinks everyone else got it wrong.

And they happen to have grown up with someone who could provide them with poisons...

#InReverse: For Meg, we'll go with a muffin. Not a sweet to be enjoyed after dinner, but a breakfast item to start the day.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar loves to bake! That doesn't narrow it down any, though.

Well, the thought is that doing it now will get me to read some of this year's responses so I can properly answer BLU day.

I still have ideas saved for next year. I also thought of doing my patrollers (anarchist not-really-cops) from #ThroughTheCracks, so maybe that'll be for next year.

Unfortunately, she has to type it all without being able to see any of what she's written.

Harriet spends time tinkering in her workshop in the basement.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar loves weaving, painting, pottery and cooking.

Merfolk live in the oceans, but I don't know if it's the depths? I'll have to think about it.

#ThroughTheCracks: Well, space is mostly dark.

As for the stations, the manufacturing layer isn't normally lit because there are no people there; it's inaccessible to humans.

And the introduction of an immortality (anti-ageing) drug in #ThroughTheCracks might end up making such lifespans possible in that setting, too, in the future.

If we were going for most durable lifeform, Endymionus cells from #ThroughTheCracks might rank high. But as it stands, with the question regarding the most durable character, they're disqualified.

So why not have the power cables themselves be the things that glow?

#ThroughTheCracks: The ALCEFS is lit entirely by artificial daylight, as far as I've decided.

The side of the stations facing the Sun is covered in solar panels and doesn't actually let in any light.

#ThroughTheCracks

Skylar: The ALCEFS doesn't have seasons. But I do love Thanksgiving with my family! That used to be associated with the fall back in the day, didn't it?

#MiwwduSitsomSelkieWIP: Michaela's is absolutely Halloween! She's going to have the best costume!
