MELTANT-α CAPABILITIES

New Post has been published on https://www.aneddoticamagazine.com/meltant-%ce%b1-capabilities/

MELTANT-α CAPABILITIES

Monday, March 12, 2018, MELTIN MMI (Head office: Shinjuku, Tokyo, CEO: Masahiro Kasuya, hereinafter MELTIN) presents its independently developed avatar robot “MELTANT-α” (MELTANTAlpha).

MELTIN aims to transcend the limitations of physical bodies through its development of cyborg technologies designed unleash the creativity of human beings. The first step in this process was its development of a practical myoelectric prosthesis. This prosthesis included cyborg technologies that allowed for processing of bio-signals to faithfully replicate the movements of the body and technologies to limit its robotic mechanisms. MELTANT-α is an avatar robot concept that makes use of the knowledge gained through developing this technology.

The hand and finger included in MELTANT-α allows for movements that are extremely close to those of the human hand. The complex movements it can make combine flexibility, speed, power, durability, and accurateness, creating “another body” that allows users go to anywhere in the world.

2k16

wow it’s been awhile since i’ve written one of these. i just realized that i totally didn’t write one last year. anyway i dont even know where to begin. 2016 has been an interesting year to say the least. i was rereading some of my old posts and i said omg a lot. the days just seem to go by in a blur nowadays, so i will try to recap 2016 as best as i can. i dont have a word to encompass this year though.

went to seattle in january. tried some really expensive sushi..twice..holy crap. the quality was a1 but man the bill was something else. seattle was nice though. definitely had a san francisco vibe to it, except for when you go to the waterside and look back at all the construction. i guess we kinda ran out of things to do bc on the last day we went to chinatown and the area seemed really dinky. also gained a ton of weight in seattle though u_u

in february we tried 5a5 steakhouse. and let me tell u. it is the best beef i have ever had. it is also the most money i have ever spent on a single meal. oh my god. i dont know if i'll ever be back, but i would like to, some day.

thus far, the semester was pretty okay. let's see..i had government accounting with a moody professor who would throw tantrums whenever no one participated. i also had business law with this old guy who was really lively and fun. i had strategic management with a bryan cranston look alike. the class was really interesting though and i learned a lot and it got me started on reading the economist lmao im so old. i miss having so much free time that came with school. 40 hour work weeks are not the life (even if i barely do anything at work).

went to LA during spring break. and at a good time too bc it was still the soft opening of harry potter world so the lines were v manageable. butterbeer was dope. the entire hogsmeade village just felt so real. had sooo much good food in LA omg. got to see some friends as well. had some of the best steak frites ever.

i cant believe i particpated in asu's talent show this year. much has changed in asu since i joined. it makes me wonder if i was behaving that way when i first joined. it seems a lot more clique-y and high school and drama filled but hey maybe it was that way when i was active but i just never noticed. had many fun lunches with my grand little but man there is a lot of drama in asu and im just glad i wasnt in any of it. i kinda miss the old asu days of staying out late to eat or do nothing at all but also i dont miss it bc i get enough sleep and im a lot more productive without asu lmao. finally ended things with tram for good. maybe things turned out the way they did for the better. the entire friendship was such a roller coaster. im glad its over.

the end of the semester rolled around!!! and i graduated!!!! :') attended my sisters graduation which was pretty boring bc high school students have such a narrow view of life (not to say that college students are any better). attended my own graduation. felt really fortunate to have jessa and anthony there. this one kid in my graudating class gave a speech about accomplishments...and he revealed the wrestling belt he was wearing underneath his graduation gown...and then he made the grads stand up and chant thank yous to the friends and family sitting behind us. it was so embarrassing and extra omg.

shortly after graduation i was on a plane headed back to the motherland. and let me tell u. i hated most of it. it was super hot and humid and my sister and i shared about 100 mosquito bites between the both of us. also. i know i shouldnt but..vietnam is so dirty. i know its not their fault that theyre a developing country but man there are exactly zero sanitation standards and i dont even know why we were there bc the water had recently been polluted so none of the fish were edible and my mom didnt trust the food stands to have clean food either. i guess i made some new friends and visited some cool places but at what cost??? also i think my entire fam got sick bc we slept with the ac on but either way, the meds i took made me lose my sense of smell i think and i couldnt taste or smell anything for two weeks. the ac air also dried out my nose and gave me a skin infection (which i will discuss later). during our trip to danang a small ferry got flipped on the big river and a bunch of ppl died and the government tried to cover it up bc bad publicity etc. they played it off as if only a few ppl died rather than most of the ppl on the boat. our tour guide in danang was in the know tho so he told us everything and w o w that really could've been us on that river bc it was a boat the left the dock about half an hour after our boat left. crazy.

after the long and arduous journey abroad i finally made it back home...and then headed to hawaii. hawaii was dope af. 10/10 would recommend, would go back. battled the tides when we went kayaking and sadly the tides won and i lost my hat but also almost lost my flip flops if it weren't for some kind random strangers who swam out to get my flip flops. we stayed on oahu and maui. hiked up a v steep mountain in oahu. lost my hat from kayaking. got caught in the rain when we went looking for a beach on the first day. had some of the best shaved ice ever. attended my first luau. fell asleep during the first part of a fire dancing show (bc the fire hadnt started yet). essentially pulled an all nighter to try oahu's famous bakery that opened at 3am. flew to maui but due to poor planning we arrived 4 hours earlier than check in lmao. the house we had in maui was so beautiful though omg. it was ocean side so we could hear the waves every night and it just felt so peaceful and tranquil to sit on the balcony in the mornings, just staring out at sea. in maui we went snorkeling. the last time i went snorkeling was like...10+ years ago...in cancun...and the water was freezing...and i also thought i was lost in the middle of the ocean on our way to the snorkeling location... but anyway! the snorkeling this time was so cool omg they had prescription swimming goggles so i could see EVERYTHING. they also provided lunch which was dope. it started raining on our way back to shore though lmao. the next day we drove all the way up the volcano in maui...to find that the top was foggy af and we couldnt see anything. the road up was pretty nasty bc super windy and 10000 ft elevation. it got really foggy after like 6000ft so we basically drove in all fog until the top which was still foggy but also like 20 degrees colder than the rest of maui. maui is super rural omg. we tried to find a place to eat after our trek but there were barely any food places in sight. we picked a random spot in the middle of nowhere and then decided to take the road to hana (which is on the opposite side of where we were staying, and was about 3 hrs away. and boy did we mess up. we took the alternate road there and it was scarier than going up the volcano bc 1) windy 2) small ass roads which were unpaved at certain points and 3) cliff hugging roads..i cant believe i made the drive there and back it was so terrifying omg. not sure if i would go back. at one point there was a big ass cow in the middle of the road. once we got to hana though, the hike was really nice despite the humidity. almost died crossing the river at the end to see the waterfall. all the rocks had big ants on them!!! how was i supposed to cross the river!!! we missed out on the wading pools though but we were so starving by that time. made the 3 hr drive back and everyone was dead. spent the last day on maui not doing much bc rainy and we were all so dead.

about two weeks after i got back from hawaii was training week in sac for my first big girl job. ngl but i felt super homesick that first night. idk why since i would be home by the end of the week anyway. probably just overwhelmed by how fast everything was happening. graduation and now transitioning into a full time job. scary stuff. but i did make a really good friend in sac so it didnt turn out so bad!!! training was pretty fun bc our presenter was pretty engaging. except when we went over the boring stuff and i was v close to falling asleep. did get to catch up with some of my sac friends though which was nice. went to the state fair for the first time as well. it was..exactly as expected but hotter lmao. my family went to san diego at this time bc my sister was going to comic con but i couldnt make it :(

got back from training and started my first big girl job. im not sure what i expected but it was easy but also hard? my first engagement i was only with one other senior and she was super nice and pretty and really good at lettering. i dont feel like i learned much? i only really did the tasks given to me but i feel like half the time i wasnt even sure what i was doing. i also hated the commute all the way back from walnut creek. the going there wasnt so bad bc i got a ride out to oakland but man it would take forever to get home. :'( my second engagement was just me and a partner and i feel like she expected me to know everything...but i didnt know anything...so i mostly sat around a lot??? esp bc she wasnt on site every day so i had zero supervision. :/ towards the end of the second engagement i got an email from the city saying that they were accepting me into their accounting position and i was like oh shit. i ended up taking the job, which gave me a week in between quitting the first job and starting the second, which i used to go back to LA lmao bc i had a season ticket to universal. actually ate at the three broomsticks this time. it was defs filling and i thought it was a good bang for buck. attempted to go to the walking dead tour..chickened out..twice. i probs would've died in there tbh. also went to disneyland!!!! that was lit. their macone-roni and cheese was da bomb. saw world of color for the first time except it was the 50th anniversary edition so it wasnt so great. bumped into the couple that was in jbieb's love yourself video. tried some new food places in LA and saw some old friends, again.

started my second big girl job. all my coworkers are super nice except the big boss is kind of crazy and anal. but we deal with it. my supervisor is so nice :'( work isnt so bad bc i dont do much lmao. the hardest part sometimes is just staying awake if im being honest. getting paid to do nothing is the life tho.

spent my birthday weekend in monterey. we were supposed to go atv-ing but ended up going wine tasting but also not really bc we liked the first wine so much we got a bottle of that to share. it was really cold that weekend surprisingly so we stayed in and then went to this spa place on a whim and it was definitely an interesting experience.

went as a rice bag for halloween and i think that was probably my greatest costume to date. except we ended up going to a party full of white ppl...and i was like the only asian there gdi

tagged along w my sister when she went to sd. got to see many friends!!! went clubbing as well and that was lit. took michelle clubbing for her 21st birthday, also lit. squadsgiving and christmas were super fun. got some supplies for bullet journaling so guess thatll be my new years resolution. but also to take more photos bc i didnt buy that camera for nothing.

okay so in conclusion. i did a lot of stuff this year. it feels like it was mostly all highs. or maybe i just block out the lows but im pretty sure there were way more highs than lows. 2016 was a great year tbh. oh yeah i also passed two of four parts of my cpa exam!!! woot. in 2016, i learned a lot...of accounting lmao. plus i ran my first 5k!!!!! oh yeah and i joined a gym and now im getting swole af. im not sure what my reflections are. i guess, if i were to compare 2k16 kim to 2k14 kim i've for sure come a long ways. i wasnt afraid to try new challenges and conquer them. i stepped out of my comfort zone multiple times, sometimes with the help of alcohol. i got my shit together and really focused in school (which got me a 4.0 during my last year of college). i also got my shit together and studied my ass off for the cpa (which is still ongoing i crey). i really wanna say this was probably one of my best years with everything i was able to do and everything i achieved. so here's to you, 2016, and may 2017 be even better!!!

[xenonpie]

I have climbed a single peak of Tsundere Mountains

kay, so, for you few that have known me for a while, or even more than 2 seconds, you may have noticed that I have been on a four year long classpect hunt, a sorta soul searching exercise. It has been filled with arduous amounts of dying inside, self doubt, self loathing, questioning how much I know about a lot of things, how much I know about how people work, and in general an experience that has made me many friends and one or two foes, cuz people don't like talking to a self focused, crazy passionate loser for longer than necessary.

but through the long self searching journey, I may have narrowed my choices significantly. to 5 classes and 4 aspects

-Lord/Muse, I always keep these options open, mostly Muse, because of my passive approach to things, they sorta stand as my failsafe in case NO other options lasts, as in the other classes can't check out more than any other one on this list. I know a few Lords and no Muses, since I don't measure up to the Lords in terms of being a Lord, a Muse may be likely.

-Knight, I mainly keep this option because of it's heavy ties to not feeling good enough, never feeling good enough and always improving due to this anxiety, always having to measure up, always having to try and be better because you feel like you may let everyone down if you don't get better. I sorta internally feel this conflict (#edgyteen2k17), I have intense tunnel vision for the things that I get a passion for it

Heir- I sorta feel with the Heirs tbh, like, I get how they think(right next to Dave, John and Mituna are my favorite canons to play tbh), I feel like the natural stubborn and determined nature of Heirs, as well as their jokingly not serious attitudes to serious situations, as well as the fact that I feel very disconnected from others, sorta like an extreme John on that account. I very much like how I really act like them at times(maybe in a more frustrating sense for some), and my inquisitive attitude ties to it's inverse, the Mage

Mage- this class ties to me in the fact that I tend to be a bit rude, sometimes without trying, similar to Sollux, I'm naturally inquisitive, but not to the booksmart level of a Seer, I'm not passive enough in the Information class category to be one, trust me, I've done a metric fuckton of research on mages. at the same time, I empathize with Meulin and a little bit Sollux(it's the same with Eridan in a "he was a fucking dick but he didn't deserve what Canon gave him"), I think Mages tend to be a massive help whenever I need SOME help(props to my new friend who's a Mage of Void btw, they're gr8)

Prince- This one is a little more on the superficial side of things, I'm very argumentative, and tend to act just a tad arrogant, or at least, that's what I've been told, but all Princes tend to hate a part of themselves, which is where Knights and Princes have a bit of a middle shared ground in my personality. I like, really have had some problems with self loathing, to the point where some of my longer time friends think I may be clinical(now I doubt I'm clinical, but I do admit that it goes beyond being humble, sometimes I think it's a limiter to keep myself in check, like, I put doom on myself to always remind myself that there's ALWAYS someone better than me at every little thing), Princes also have a tad of a destructive nature to them, and I implore you to look at my graveyard of dead/dying computers and TELL me that I'm not just the tiniest bit destructive haha. I've broken 8-10 computers in 2 years O_0.

Rogues are mostly there because of how I don't really often come up with my own ideas, because I tend to take ideas, mix and match them, then make something new out of that. I move shit around a lot metaphorically is what I'm saying lol

Bards come in due to mostly my sporadic nature, also because of how passive I act on a daily basis, they are sorta just there like the Lord and Muse are. as a Side thing because of the Prince option

All of these class choices are made under the assumption that I am not inverting.

Aspect options

Space- This aspect is mostly here because of the fact that I have literally been drawing since I was 5 years old, my only other skill is writing, both creative activities, I have been in the creative mindset since I drew a shitty drawing of Spongebob as a 5 year old little dwarf/gremlin. I have only honed my skills over time, perhaps due to legitimate interest, but also because other than writing, I have no other skills, that's all I have, I've only become more and more advanced, taking skills from other people, using their techniques, and just generally growing as an artist.

Time- Time is here because A) may be inverting into space, and B) Dave is one of my favorite characters to RP with, I feel with his casual demeanor(also, I sorta like skeletons(Sans and Papyrus anyone?)). I tend to move at a slow pace through life, much like a timeplayer might. The only counter evidence is I have a barely existent sense of time, like, I can tell a day has passed, but not what day it is, or what hour it is. I just sorta have a connection to the Time players, as I do the space players(maybe it's just cuz Aradia is just MAID of comedic TIMING lol)

Life- I have mostly only kept this as an option for the destruction classes, if I'm a life player, I'm a Destructive class of it.

Doom- I tend to have a pessimistic world view due to my hard time growing up(#pureedge2k17), I sorta make jokes about how we're fucked all the time, for obvious reasons, everyone knows 2k16's problems haha. I try at optimism but fail HORRIBLY, like, I legitimately give it the good ol college try, but still fail every now and then. I again really like ghosts and skeletons, one's head even being the symbol of Doom, I also have an interest in well executed fight scenes in anime, like, I REALLY like them, I love seeing a well done fight scene, maybe that's my possible space speaking cuz Aesthetics are great, but Combat is really interesting, I'd never partake in it(probably dodging most of the time if I HAD to fight, but never really throwing a punch, I'm a pacifist for pete's sake!)

Light/Void- These aspects sorta share symbolism as I sorta tend to like being in a dark space, with only a bit of light, but I don't quite have a good sense of my surroundings when in the dark, blind as shit tbh. I love learning new things, heck I love new perspectives on new things, but I may not always accept them into my personal thoughts and interpretations, I almost ALWAYS  hear them out. Void is mostly here because of my general ignorance to my surroundings and overall ignorance in the grand scheme of things, I don't even pay attention to my body all that much(but I heard that may be an Heir's trait), I'm also a little more photosensitive than others

Mind/Heart/Rage get honorable mentions due to my passionate, but also apathetic approach to things and my anger problem that has slowly gotten put under control.

shoutouts to @goodgodtier for helping me at the moment keep my brain on track to help me find out my god tier, go check out their blog, also just in general @kaiju3 they've got some good thoughts as well, they haven't directly helped me with anything, but they just have some good concepts that I've got to mention soo yea

/// Claustrophilia #06 /// [France - 2K16] /// IMPORTANT NOTICE: These quarries are open to the public. No thug-life bullshits here, THIS IS AN OFFICIAL VISIT. /// Nous quadrillons toujours la campagne du Maine et Loire en quête de ses joyaux engloutis, cette fois en direction du lieu-dit des Mousseaux situé sur la commune de Dénezé-sous-Doué. En termes de tourisme, l’ambiance de ce hameau est nettement plus aride qu’à Doué-la-Fontaine, mais ça ne l’empêche pas de dissimuler une cavité réputée unique en Occident. La ruelle est déserte, le gros des juilletistes s’agglutinant autours des plus prestigieux Châteaux de la Loire ou des exploitations viticoles de renom. Nous en ferons les frais un peu plus tard, nous le savons, mais pour l’heure nous profitons du calme quasi idyllique régnant à l’accueil de la Cave Aux Sculptures. Alors que nous réglons le droit de visite, je ne peux détourner mon regard de l’escalier abrupt s’enfonçant, à tout juste quelques mètres du comptoir, vers l’inconnu… mais chaque chose en son temps. En guise de préambule à la visite, nous sommes tout d’abord dirigés vers un bâtiment annexe, pour une projection d’une vingtaine de minutes ; Occasion de planter le décor d’un outre-monde loin d’avoir livré tous ses mystères. Enfouies à proximité d’une cure, ces caves furent [re]découvertes au XVIIIe siècle par un ecclésiastique qui, effrayé par les saynètes y hantant le tuffeau, ordonna sur le champ leur occultation. Presque par hasard, elles se révélèrent ensuite avec pertes et fracas à deux ethnologues de la région en 1956, avant d’être classées à l’Inventaire Supplémentaire des Monuments Historiques en 1969, puis de devenir propriété de la commune, laquelle les a depuis ouvertes au public. Ce réseau a effectivement de quoi déchaîner les passions les plus contradictoire puisqu’il renferme un statuaire composé de près de trois-cent figures lesquelles, dans un style naïf, tournent en dérision les institutions politico-religieuses d’époques révolues. Mais, si la cour royale & le clergé ont clairement inspiré l’œuvre satyrique se jouant ici-bas, elle n’en demeure pas moins truffée de zones d’ombre que les chercheurs s’affairent à éclaircir depuis les 70ies. Pour commencer, quel est le contexte historique, social et culturel exact de ces sculptures ? Naturellement, la recherche est avant tout menée au cœur du souterrain lui-même, par analyse des vêtements et accessoires perceptibles dans les scènes coutumières représentées, des rares dates gravées ça et là, des fours et du puits cachant probablement des détails caractéristiques, des graffitis d’époque… Mais, si certains éléments de l’ouvrage peuvent être datés, cela n’est pas nécessairement applicable aux sculptures elles-mêmes. En complément de ce travail méticuleux les archives ont naturellement été sollicitées, mais n’ont livré que trop peu d’indices. On y trouve plusieurs fois la mention « Cave des Mousseaux », mais cette donnée demeure trop vague au vu des nombreuses cavités ayant toujours existé sous le village ; Village qui, de surcroît, gît au cœur d’un ensemble troglodytique pour le moins gigantesque. La mention « cave sous le clos de vigne de la cure » s’avère en revanche plus intéressante car, citées à plusieurs époques avec leurs propriétaires ou habitants, elles limitent clairement le champ des recherches à une zone géographique donnée et une tranche temporelle s’échelonnant entre les XVIème & XVIIIème siècles. Petit à petit, l’enquête progresse, mais il subsiste un secret resté opaque au fil des décennies : Qui sont les auteurs de ces sculptures et quels étaient leurs desseins avérés ? Question d’autant plus hasardeuse que, durant les invasions & conflits, les sous-sols du Maine et Loire servaient régulièrement de refuges aux autochtones. A ce jour, n’existent que des hypothèses plus ou moins crédibles, dont aucune n’a pu être historiquement prouvée. Parmi les principales : - Albert Heron, coordinateur des fouilles en 1974 / 1975, évoque un temple païen où deux très anciens cultes étaient célébrés: Un culte de guérison et de fécondité autour du puits: certaines figurines représentent la progression du cycle de la vie, tandis que d’autres illustrent des infirmités et sans doute des activités de rebouteux. L’eau, contenant du souffre, pouvait alors avoir des vertus thérapeutiques… Un culte au dieu de la vigne et du vin : Etymologiquement, Dénézé-sous-Doué découle du toponyme gallo-romain « Dionisiacum », formé du nom d’origine grecque « Dionysos » et du suffixe « Acos », qui signifie littéralement « domaine de Dyonisos »… - En 1967, au vu des premières découvertes, Raymond Mauny [Professeur à la Sorbonne] va évoquer un ancien souterrain refuge du XIIème devenu carrière d’extraction au XVIème qui aurait ensuite été occupé soit par un Conventicule Hérétique à fins d’initiations, orgies et sacrifices infantiles… soit, plus raisonnablement, par un paysan-carrier Rabelaisien désireux d’exprimer ses fantaisies loin des vicissitudes fanatiques de la fin du Moyen-âge… - Selon Annie Brethon & Daniel List, qui furent conservateurs du site pendant vingt ans, l’interprétation des figures pourrait suggérer le travail d’une confrérie de tailleurs de pierres, soucieux d’immortaliser dans le calcaire les événements politiques de leur temps. Il s’agirait alors d’un témoignage non officiel d’art populaire, destiné à une poignée d’initiés durant le tumulte des guerres de religions, et resté dissimulé jusqu’à nos jours. La dévastation qu’a essuyée le bourg de Dénézé, alors en pleine expansion, entre 1567 & 1569 pourrait corroborer cette hypothèse de loge souterraine préservée grâce à la complicité collective, où une communauté originale de carriers & maçons devait pratiquer un rite initiatique secret, comme au sein de nombreuses confréries de métiers. - Dans des sphères plus festives, un certain nombre de chercheurs défendent la survivance de traditions héritées du carnaval et, plus particulièrement dans ces contrées, de ce que l’on appelait les Diableries de Doué ou « Jeuz de Doué ». Ceci expliquerait pourquoi on retrouve parmi les personnages sculptés un certain nombre de symboles carnavalesques d’antan : la procession, l’allaitement, le souffle, les plumes d’oiseau… Au début du XVIIème siècle, l’Eglise et la Monarchie – après avoir fait preuve un certain temps d’indulgence à l’égard de l’érotisme et de la paillardise – restaurent la Chambre Ardente et l’interdiction de représentation des Mystères. Les réinterprétations grotesques de la Passion, les spectateurs s’adonnant à des actes obscènes, les acteurs et musiciens déguisés en diables ne sont alors plus les bienvenus. Les « Jeuz de Doué » désormais interdits, il est concevables que l’ont ai continué à les célébrer dans des sphères plus clandestines et que l’on ait, à cette occasion sculpté les fresques des Mousseaux. - Mais la montée de l’obscurantisme ne s’est pas faite sans contestations, et ce au sein même du Clergé. C’est précisément le fer de lance d’une autre théorie qui place à l’origine de l’ouvrage l’art populaire lié à la vie paroissiale. Il ne faut pas oublier qu’en ce temps où était remise en question l’autorité de la religion catholique, bon nombre d’hommes d’églises furent également condamnés au bûcher pour pratiques et prises de positions jugées inappropriées… Il ne faut pas non plus négliger le fait que la mystérieuse cavité est située sous un presbytère… - À l’aube du XVIIIème siècle, les Francs-maçons ont crée une loge à Doué la Fontaine. Celle-ci se fit rapidement remarquer par son activité soutenue et l’ambiance de franche camaraderie animant ses rencontres. Des témoignages relatent qu’on y jouait de la musique et s’y exerçait à la comédie. Quelques uns de ses membres résidaient néanmoins à Dénézé et, aux yeux de certains chercheurs, il ne serait alors pas farfelu d’imaginer des réunions cérémoniales alternatives & sous-terraines du côté des Mousseaux. - Au cœur de la cavité, une date gravée en particulier suscite toutes les interrogations : 1740. Celle-ci nous projette peu de temps avant la Révolution Française, époque à laquelle les curés de paroisse se sont révoltés contre l’autorité religieuse. Ils devinrent les prêtres jureurs de l’époque révolutionnaire et si, contrairement à leurs homologues du XVIIème ils n’ont plus réputation de libertinage, ils ne manifestent pas moins une grande souplesse vis-à-vis de la gente féminine… - Au XIXème enfin, époque de grande restauration des lieux de cultes, il n’était pas rare que les apprentis tailleurs de pierres apprennent à reproduire gargouilles & autre créatures liturgiques dans les carrières d’extraction de pierres… et contrairement à ses voisines du Douessin riches en Falun, la commune de Dénézé est l’une des rares à recéler du tuffeau ; minéral tendre dans lequel il est aisé de tailler. Tout cela contribuait à instaurer un univers fantasmagoriques au sein duquel bon nombres de sociétés secrètes émergeantes aimaient se réunir. Parmi elles, notons « La Marianne », dont les rituels d’initiation inspirent certains gestes ici sculptés. Ces groupements occultes étaient étroitement surveillés par la police de l’époque, et certains rapports de cette dernière décrivent déjà étrangement le spectacle se jouant encore à ce jour sous les pieds des Denezéens… Peut-être qu’aucune de ces hypothèses n’est exacte et que la réalité est bien plus terre à terre… Peut-être qu’il y a une part de vrai dans le mysticisme de chacune d’entre elles… En attendant d’en déceler plus, nous vous laissons deviner laquelle séduit le plus notre psyché & forger votre propre opinion, mais sachez que le conservatoire du site est à l’écoute de toute contribution utile. Nous voilà finalement en bas des quelques dizaines de marches aperçues à notre arrivée. Surprise : le réseau n’a absolument rien à voir avec ce que je m’imaginais. J’envisageais un petit dédale tortueux… il n’en est rien. Toute la zone a été dégagée & aménagée afin de mettre en valeur la foultitude de statues taillées en ronde bosse. Des gradins permettent, sous forme d’amphithéâtre, d’appréhender le lieu dans son ensemble ; galvanisant au passage l’imaginaire le plus béotien. Les moins prudes peuvent approcher, sans entraves, les figurines afin d’en découvrir l’incroyable variété. C’est un parti prit très courageux & appréciable compte tenu de l’attitude du touriste lambda, mais surtout des outrages que le temps a déjà fait subir à bon nombre d’œuvres : Eaux de ruissellement et d’infiltration, remontées capillaires, phénomènes d’évaporation et de condensation / de dissolution et de cristallisation, pont thermique généré par le plafond chapé, alternance froid / chaud imputable aux saisons, et autres activités photosynthétiques… ont considérablement altéré la roche, au point de faire disparaître certains motifs. Ca et là d’antiques photographies en N&B sont d’ailleurs apposées pour permettre au visiteur d’entretenir quelques repères physiques concrets. Si cette excavation a d’ores et déjà été réhabilitée / viabilisée de fort belle manière, le patrimoine aussi énigmatique que fascinant qu’elle renferme n’en demeure pas moins très fragile, et il n’y faut guère plus que quelques secondes d’errance pour en prendre pleinement conscience. L’œil se perd dans les méandres de fresques sublimes et barbares où des rictus odieux côtoient des faciès séraphiques, où les oripeaux de costumes somptueux tranchent avec la grossièreté d’une nudité primale, où des hordes de créatures malingres et faméliques grouillent dans l’ombre de titans plus harmonieux et sculpturaux, où l’iconographie religieuse se désagrège inexorablement en idoles renégates… D’une telle contemplation, il est difficile de ne pas ressortir avec un sentiment privilégié, tant elle relève à la fois de l’inédit et de l’atavique ; un peu comme si l’on avait assisté à l’avant première du « Häxan » de Benjamin Christensen en 1922, ou comme si l’on avait l’occasion de feuilleter des planches jamais parues de Philippe Druillet. De retour à la surface, l’esprit aventureux pourrait aisément ressentir l’émotion quasi nostalgique d’un choc consommé qui ne pourra plus vraiment connaître d’équivalent… du moins s’il n’avait pas repéré, s’enfonçant loin au-delà des parapets & éclairages artificiels, des galeries où bien des mystères restent encore à exhumer. A nouveau, un site incontournable du Maine et Loire, que nous ne pouvons que vous recommander. Le prix d’entrée est absolument dérisoire et l’accueil est plus que chaleureux.

Hakuno can’t explain it, but the girl in front of her reminds her of Rin. Maybe this is why she decided to approach her instead of simply sinking into the crowd mingling in the lounge. 

“Is this seat open?” she asks, gesturing to the chair in front of the girl with one hand. In her other hand is a plate full of various sweets.
