A nimble little squirrel scaling the tree like an expert climber. It almost looks like it's on a great adventure through the branches!

Arboreal Species

We had plenty of options for ways to keep occupied while waiting for the client to show up and collect his delivery. Several of the crew were playing card games with the captain, using a delivery crate as a table, and she was beating the pants off all of them. (Though none of these particular aliens wore pants. You know what I mean.) Some of the others waited inside the ship, declaring boredom with this particular patch of exotic wilderness.

The rest chatted with crew from the ship that had arrived after us, which was also delivering cargo for the same late-to-arrive local. They had plenty to complain about. They also had food to share, and a decent chance that it would be edible by those they shared it with.

While Alien Food Roulette was always exciting, I’d found a much better option.

“Hey, they tell me your species climbs things,” the stranger from the other ship had said, long snout curling into a smile. She looked like a mix of 3/4 baboon and 1/4 crocodile.

“They’re right!” I replied easily. There weren’t many climbing opportunities on our little courier ship, and I was curious where this was going.

The alien pointed at a huge tree on the edge of the landing pad, which boasted smooth orange bark with branches every couple feet. “I’m gonna go climb that. Care to join me?”

“Would I ever!” I said, already heading toward it. I called back over my shoulder, “If you guys need me, I’ll be up a tree!”

Captain Sunlight didn’t even look away from the game, just waving distractedly, her scaly face intent on whatever play Mur had just made. He was chuckling about it and rubbing his tentacles together in a way that was probably a bluff. As soon as I looked away, he made a noise that said the good captain had just wrecked his clever plan. Trrili hissed with laughter.

None of them cared that I was about to climb to a dangerous height. None thought this was out of character in the slightest, and all of them were missing out on an excellent climbing experience.

It was a great tree. The bark was smooth but not slippery, reminding me of a madrone tree from back home, just without the flaky outer layer. And it didn’t feel as cold. If anything, it was warm as we scampered skyward, almost as if the tree welcomed a good climb by people who’d appreciate it.

The alien stopped, picking a branch to sit on and leaning back against another. “Now that is a nice view.”

I had to agree. “It is!” I found my own convenient pair of branches, draping my arms over the top one and finding a nice footrest on a third. “Everybody down there doesn’t know what they’re missing.” The forest around the landing pad was bright with oranges and yellows, the kind of vivid colors that I associated with autumn, but which could have been year-round here. Rolling hills lined the horizon, with a river sparkling merrily in the distance. The only straight line was the road. It made a nice counterpoint to all the gentler natural shapes.

My new friend cupped a hand to her snout unnecessarily. “Hey, everybody down there! You should come see this view!”

To no one’s surprise, she got a chorus of “no thanks.”

I shook my head. “Such a shame. They’re missing out on all the knowledge that comes from above, too. Hey, Paint!” I yelled down to the crewmate who had just dropped a box of round things. “One rolled under the ramp, and two are over in the grass!” I pointed them out.

A distant “Thank you!” reached my ears.

The alien nodded. “Wisdom of the heights indeed. What else can we see, that those on the ground can’t?”

We spent a good few minutes pointing things out to each other and swapping stories. Apparently her people were called the Farsights, for exactly this reason.

“Oh, motion on the road!” she declared, squinting into the distance. “Looks like somebody’s in a rush to be a little less late.”

“Well that ship has launched,” I said, following her eyes. “Nice thought, though. Say, is that one car or two?”

The Farsight didn’t answer immediately, which made me worry a little. Then she said “Uh oh,” which made me worry a lot.

“Uh oh what?”

She stood up on the branch and bellowed, “INCOMING! Client’s being chased by hostile fauna!”

“Oh jeez.” Now I could see it too: something large and antlered galloping after the little surface skimmer. Both were headed straight toward our landing pad.

Chaos erupted down below as we slid off our perches and scrambled downward. The bark was still friendly-smooth.

“I think that creature eats these!” my friend said, bounding out toward the end of a branch to shake loose a bundle of round seedpod things. “I’ve seen them before!”

“Will that matter?” I asked, slowing. “It looks pretty mad!”

“Can’t hurt!”

I couldn’t argue that. There were more than a few seedpods waiting on my path down, all of which came loose with a little judicious bouncing of the branches. When I hit the ground, it was in a sea of baseball-shaped plant bits.

The rest of the crew was scrambling to move crates and dash into the ships for anything weaponlike. A handful of beefy individuals from the other crew lined up to stare the thing down as it approached, and my ship’s biggest and scariest hurried to join them. Trrili claimed a place in front with her black-and-red carapace gleaming in the sun, pincher arms spread wide. She left space for the skimmer to zip past, but only just.

I grabbed seedpods, making a basket with my shirt. “Will we need these? Is it going to stop?”

“Beats me!” said my new friend. She grabbed an armload and ran. “Let’s find out!”

I raced after. We joined the lineup just before the gigantic whatever-it-was skidded to a halt, rearing to paw the air and roar thunderously. The guy in the skimmer was trying to park behind our ship. The various scary aliens yelled back at the huge moose-rhino.

“How well can you throw?” asked my friend, not waiting for an answer. She dumped her armload and started chucking seedpods.

“Pretty well!” I didn’t bother dropping mine, just grabbing them one by one from my shirt basket and aiming for the head.

I didn’t count how many of those direct shots were me, but I’m going to say most of them. The pods burst into squishy fruit with a solid core, doing a great job of annoying the creature as well as coating it with presumably-tasty purple goo.

Its forefeet hit the ground with a teeth-rattling thud. It roared some more, but half-heartedly, like it was just trying to save face at this point.

My friend the Farsight had run out of seedpods, so I gave her some of mine. While our crewmates did their best threat displays, we pelted the dangerous beastie with fruit until it turned to lope in the other direction. I made sure to throw a few on the road near it, in case it felt like picking up a bite to eat on the way. It didn’t, but I did see a tongue lick out as it turned its back on us.

Belatedly, Kavlae and Eggskin skidded out of our ship with stun guns at the same time as a couple people from the other — was that a rocket launcher or a flare gun? — none of which turned out to be necessary.

“Take that and eat it!” crowed the Farsight.

“Yeah!” I agreed. “It’s probably delicious!”

“It probably is, actually,” she said as the congratulations started to pour in.

I picked up a seedpod I’d dropped and sniffed it. “Smells a bit like kumquat.”

Captain Sunlight, busy trying to coax the client out of his vehicle, yelled across the landing pad, “Don’t eat that until Eggskin runs it through the medscanner!”

“Aw, really?” I complained, perfectly in synch with my new friend.

“Yes really!” She shook her lizardy head. I couldn’t make out her muttering from here, but I could guess it was about omnivorous habits, self-preservation instincts, absurd treeclimbing species, or all of the above.

The Farsight said, “If these are safe, I’m taking some back with me.”

“Even if they’re not, the seeds would make good souvenirs,” I pointed out, pulling at the pod where it had separated. “Look how perfectly round they are.”

“Oh yeah, those are nice.”

Trrili stalked past with a haughty tilt to her antennae. “You two get along far too well.”

“Like two seeds in a pod!” the Farsight quipped.

That made me smile. “Hey, my people say that too!”

We had plenty to talk about while everybody else handled the actual delivery we were there for. Eventually Eggskin did check the thing with a medscanner. It tasted like sour kumquat. The seeds cleaned up nicely.

And most importantly, my new friend had family with a whole enclave at the next space station my ship was planning to visit. And they had a climbing structure three stories high. I couldn’t wait.

The rest of the crew thought that sounded pointless and dangerous, of course, but none of them had ancestors who danced through the tree branches, so clearly they have no taste.

The ongoing backstory adventures of the main character from this book. More to come! And I am currently drafting a sequel!

Trying to be better about posting, honest. Yesterday, after school, me and the debate team drove up to Sarasota for a debate tournament today. We stopped at a pizza place, got pizza, and ate it in a park. Went on to our hotel and swam in the pool. Went to bed. Today was thr state championship.

The way Legislative Debate, my preferred event, works is that we have preliminary, then if you move on you go to semifinals. From there you go to finals. I didn't make it past prelims sadly. It is what it is. Awards were at 6 and went till 8. We left at like 9 and swung by McDonalds. Still not home.

Took some decent pics, I think. I was in a tree for the boring part of awards.

GET A BIRD'S-EYE VIEW 👀 This was my second time tree-climbing with Tree Climbing Planet, and I have a feeling it's not my last! 😉 Over the last few summers, I've had the chance to scale giant Doug fir trees *and* majestic oaks with @treeclimbingplanet in Oregon City, OR and let me tell you - the scenery is absolutely breathtaking. 😍 If you make it all the way to the top, there are “sky boats” suspended from tree branches. 🌳 And from there, you can just hang out (...literally...) and relax in the hammock-like beds, enjoying the peace and quiet of the world around you. Tree Climbing Planet helps "normal" people like *us* ascend into trees all over the world, from the Pacific Northwest to South America and beyond. So, if this sounds like something you're interested in, give them a follow! I’m a strong believer in keeping curiosity and wonderment alive well into adulthood and, well… let’s just say this activity is good for the inner child. ✨ Have you ever been up this high before? Would you be willing to try it?!

The Australian Pavylot: A Desert Marvel🌴

!Australian Pavylot

Appearance:

The Australian Pavylot (Pavylotus australis) is a small, elusive creature native to the arid landscapes of Australia.

Its most striking feature is its bright yellow, fluffy fur, which helps it blend seamlessly into the sun-kissed desert environment.

These little animals have long, padded paws that allow them to climb trees effortlessly. Their sharp nails provide excellent grip on the rough bark.

Survival Adaptations:

In the harsh Australian deserts, survival is a delicate balance. The Pavylot’s padded paws help it traverse the rocky terrain, while its fur provides insulation against extreme temperatures.

These creatures are masters of camouflage, often disappearing into the golden sands during the scorching daytime hours.

Their diet consists of insects, seeds, and occasional fruits found in the desert, making them well-adapted to their arid home.

Gender Differences:

Females are slightly smaller than males. They have pointed ears and a distinctive white chest.

Males, on the other hand, are slightly larger. They sport round ears and exhibit significant grey cheeks and grey-white paws and chest.

The Australian Pavylot embodies resilience, resourcefulness, and the ability to thrive in the harshest of conditions. Next time you wander through the Australian outback, keep an eye out for these remarkable creatures!

Erased timeline reconstruction update!!

So, as of recent, i have sent out my faithfull crow to gather me lore from what folk may answer (asked an extroverted friend to ask his friends and accquaitances), and i have some new lore. (I also now owe that friend to be prop-director at a cosplay photoshoot he's planning. I will have to handmake make realistic fake cigars, both proper and half-burnt, and figure out how to make them smoke on cam without actual tobacco smoke (he said the photographer is allergic, and i am NOT playing with people's allergies). Maybe he'll let me just add the smoke manualy in photoshopping phase, and i won't have to jumpstart my chemist career just for this one favor-returning ._." )

So, new bits of info:

My friend's uncle pledged loyalty to Nadakhan in the erased timeline (an L action to take, but it is what it is), after ending up stranded in the sky. From him we also now know, Lightning Ninja Jay was captured, but, for whatever reason not entrapped in djin blade. And he also was forced to partake in scrap-n-tap (at least that's how i remember it's called? Maybe it was tap-n-scrap, or smth), where the winner of a fight gets kicked from the fight, and Jay was basicaly getting fighting all day long :[ I realy hope he doesn't remember that from the erased timeline bacuse that's like deeply horrible and traumatising.

Ninjas at some point all collectivly went to cryptarium as criminals, and i strongly believe they were framed, because they were accused of stuff ninjas would never do, stealin' stuff that has no relavancy to world saving, vandalism, bank robbing? Ninjas would not be doing THAT.

Master Wu was definetly gone for the whole duration of erased timeline, no one from my friend's retellings mentioned Wu even once. Probably, Nadakhan got him.

I did, in fact, land safely, as stated by my friend himself, because in his erased-timeline-dreams one of them was me crash-landing in a tree after soaring down on a bedsheet Mary Poppins style, and getting out from the tree like treeclimbers do - hang from branch by arms, prepare, fall and roll, landed safely, sucsess.

There was a second Zane! But he was like.. super SUPER steampunk looking, and he aided Jay in.. something, Friend's uncle only recalled seeing Jay, Steampunkified Zane and a few other people (including such people as current Chen's Noodle House owner, Skylor Chen, Capitan fucking Soto, and Comissioner (seriously, anyone, ANYONE, what's that guy's name? He is never publicaly mentioned as anything other than just Comissioner-)) fight aganist the Nadakhan's pirates (including said uncle :1 )

- 🍄 anon!

(Also, as for eating arson, i raise yall - the anon that said they like to eat arson just make fire shaped cookies and write arson on it. Boom confusion solved /j)

oh wonderful we love updates! you might be able to but incense sticks in there to get smoke, as long as it doesn't burn everything else

L uncle action ngl

oh that's horrifying. oh.

PRISON ☹️☹️❌ FRAMED 🖼️🖼️🖼️

oh no poor Wu :[

AW YEAH EPIC FALLING SKILLS 🗣️⬇️🌳‼️

oooo steampunk Zane we love the aesthetic also W SKYLOR CHEN W CAPTAIN SOTO W COMMISSIONER WHATSHISNAME minor w uncle? his original L cancels out the W kind of

arson cookies makes sense I guess 🤷‍♀️
