For Harriet, that goal is to save the one she loves. For Meg, I think she's mostly following along at the moment, and don't know if she's figured out her goal yet.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar tries not to make promises so they never have to break one.

#ThroughTheCracks: There are various competitions in the ALCEFS for all sorts of sports. For example, Kye is a swimming competition champion.

#ThroughTheCracks: Let's invent a Europan alien food chain! Names are all very tentative. Probably, there are multiple Europan worm-like beings, for example, but for today, I'll just call one the Europan worm. I'm only building one food chain today.

This does not mean Teodora can hit a Soul Devourer they can't see with a longsword they can barely lift... Yes, we do see Teodora miss in that situation.

Madison from #ThroughTheCracks may have played enough VR shooters to be a decent shot, too.

But let's go with Teodora today.

#ThroughTheCracks: Current board games might still be around. Certainly the classics, like chess and go, are.

But plenty of new ones have arisen! Anyone can design their own board games, and submit them for the public to order and play.

Harriet also wears glasses, if you're counting that.

Andrea wears earrings and a nose ring.

#ThroughTheCracks: I haven't pictured Skylar as having any jewelry.

I'll probably get Aimetor to join the D&D group, eventually.

#InReverse: Harriet goes rock climbing. She probably has a climbing partner, likely Meg, or possibly Ed or Andrea.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar likes coop boardgames.

Their cousin Madison plays VR games, including shooters.

Harriet will be joining her even though for her, it's evening.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar is stopping by the grocery store to pick up some ingredients! Then maybe they'll ask Felix if they can use their kitchen.

Felix might have to switch plans and partake in some of Skylar's cooking.

#JuneWorldbuilders 14

#ThroughTheCracks: The rise in AI after the Third AI Winter brought about an art movement focused on doing it yourself by hand. Many old handicrafts were revived, such as hand-spinning, hand-stitching, basket weaving, paper making and blacksmithing.

Not exactly a lot of planning.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar is mostly a planner, I think, but I'll have to see where their story goes.

#ThroughTheCracks: The ALCEFS doesn't believe in banning books or works of art. Everything that one decides to make public is made freely available to everyone. You want to read Mein Kampf? The ALCEFS doesn't endorse the contents, but won't stop you from reading it.

#ThroughTheCracks: Erron genuinely wants what's best for humanity, and wants to reduce suffering.

Kye... Hm. Kye likes swimming, likes competition, and also enjoys personal comfort.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar is into weaving, painting, pottery and cooking. Most of what they make gets displayed in their little home, or gifted to friends and family. Or, in the case of their cooking, consumed. So, not famous, but they're not looking to be.

#ThroughTheCracks: Skylar lives alone in a standard single-person unit (apartment-sized residence) on Station 14 of the ALCEFS. They often have family over or go out to visit family.

#MiwwduSitsomSelkieWIP: Dave and Michaela live in Moncton with their parents and pet dog Leary.

We get to see Felix's future home in my crossover with #ThroughTheCracks. In that one, Felix lives with, at the very least, Blackwing, their pet Microraptor.

Aimetor lives in Nemoros with their polycule (or at least part of it) and child.

Sabrina lives in the Land of Souls.

#ThroughTheCracks: Plenty of forms of art are found in the ALCEFS, and many traditional practical crafts have become primarily a form of self-expression. Architecture may be a bit hard to find space for, except in the miniature. But Skylar loves weaving tapestries and making pottery.

Let's give this its own post.

I wrote some tentative lyrics for The Antipatriotic Song, the unofficial anthem of the ALCEFS, an anarcho-communist society in #ThroughTheCracks.

Any critique you have is welcome!

#WriteSky #WritingCommunity #Song #Music #Lyrics #AnCom #Anarchism

#ThroughTheCracks: Music, as with literature, is made freely available for anyone to listen to (no ads). There are also live concerts, which are quite popular in the ALCEFS.

#ThroughTheCracks: Anyone who wants to make what they've written public will post it online, free for anyone to read. There's lots of literature that gets published this way. You can get the stories printed if you prefer it.

Stories that get popular could get adapted as a movie or play.

#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.
