GR96

@fusionspruntcityjournal

So how do you produce electricity with living plants? Simply by using the natural processes that already occur. In short: the plant produces organic matter via photosynthesis. Only part of this organic matter is then used for its own growth. The rest is excreted via the roots. Around the roots, bacteria feed on the organic matter and they release electrons. If you’re able to harvest the electrons into an electrode, you can couple the first electrode to a counter-electrode and build an electrical circuit, like in a battery. The electrons flow back into the natural system via the counter-electrode, so it’s completely circular. Because we use the natural processes around the plant, nature is not harmed. It works day and night, summer and winter. It only stops when the plant and its surroundings completely dry up or freeze over.

Sedum Oviferum

Sedum pachyphyllum is a ground-hugging succulent that spreads by rooting fallen stems and leaves. The succulent also goes by the names “Cerise Moonstones” or “Mauve Pebbles”. The short and stumpy round leaves have a light silvery-purple color; positioned at a right angles to the stem and curve upward, which in the wintertime, the tips of said leaves will turn into a notorious red.

Sedum Oviferum is a succulent that is very easy to grow and maintain. It is a resilient plant that can tolerate drought, moist and dry soils, and when given adequate exposure to sunlight and sufficient water, Cerise Moonstones will thrive outdoors. The Sedum Oviferum succulent grows at its best with regular exposure to sunlight. If Mauve Pebbles are planted in an area in a garden that gets plenty of sunlight per day, you will be rewarded with bright coloured leaves and flowers. In winter and early spring, Cerise Moonstones actively grow and produce blooms featuring red-orange petals and sepals that have the same pigmentation as the leaves. The flowers produced by Cerise Moonstones have a bell shape and a sugary fragrance.

Subterranean Clover

Trifolium subterraneum is also known as the subterranean clover (often shortened to sub clover), or subterranean trefoil. The plant's name comes from its underground seed development, a characteristic not possessed by other clovers. It can thrive in poor-quality soil where other clovers cannot survive.

This species is self-fertilizing, unlike most legume forage crops such as alfalfa and other clovers, which are pollinated by insects, especially honeybees. It is also grown in places where the extreme ranges of soil type and quality, rainfall, and temperature make the variable tolerances of sub clover especially useful.

Functionality

GR96 are powered by any plant of choosing on their back pod (the one we are going to discuss has a giant Sedum Oviferum and multiple sub clovers to operate) which is held in place by five strong suction cups. They’re manufactured for community gardens (strictly only one per garden), but they can also be bought by high class citizens for private properties, though at a way bigger cost since they’re financed by the city.

They can use their hands as scissors, shovels, and for watering (hence the big forearms, for storing the water), the latter which they do by dipping their hands in a bucket, opening the valve on their forearms so they can fill them up and releasing the water from the pinholes on their palms. Their “eyes” are actually a screen that can show plenty expressions, but the two circles above that peripheral screen are the real environmental sensors. They also have the same sensors on their ankles for inspecting the lower plants and ground without the need of kneeling, and their feet are shaped in a way so that weight is evenly distributed, lowering the chances of damaging a plant if they were to step on it. The ear like protrusions are small solar panels, used as backup energy (they don’t have any communication properties). Their speaker aka their “voice” is the mohawk-like structure on the top (which also has their series barcode 128 on the lower back), but when they speak there are these strips at the sides of the face mask that light up with the volume. The mask (non removable) has a set of pipes that are used for analyzing the air quality and humidity of the area surrounding them.

Designs of Happiness - Track B02

L4mps Main Story Translation

Title: Active Theory of Happiness

Characters: Nagi, Ryui, Toi, Netaro, Kafka

Summary: At the 4th Ward Mayor Appointment Ceremony, the cue card that Nagi prepared for his speech was completely drenched for some reason… 

Thank you aca @/463ce6, myun @/myuntachis and Niri @/Niri_riri for helping me with proofing!

Kafka: “...and I bet my life on revitalizing tourism in HAMA.”

Location: Ceremony Venue

Kafka: Does having no large-scale commercial facilities or redevelopment investment make our region less attractive? The answer is a firm “no.”

Kafka: Finding value in resources that are already available to us and putting them to use effectively to change our circumstances positively–That is what HAMA Tours is working towards. 

Kafka: I’m certain that most of you gathered here today are from Wards 15 through 18. Know that your wards are indispensable strategic zones in HAMA. 

Kafka: As you had all witnessed earlier, these five members have been newly assigned as Ward Mayors— 

Nagi: …*trembling*

Yodaka: Nagi, remember to breathe. 

Netaro: Psst, can I eat my popsicle now? 

Toi: Do you think it’s okay as long as he doesn’t make any noise, Ani-sama…?

Ryui: ‘Course not. Put it away. 

Momiji: (The Ward Mayor Appointment Ceremony… This is the fourth time I’m experiencing this, but I’m still as nervous as ever…)

HAMA Ward Member A: Well, I suppose we don’t have anything flashy like Chinatown here. But I like how peaceful it is instead. 

HAMA Ward Member B: Still, it’s sad that we didn’t have a single candidate after the very first Ward Mayor. 

HAMA Ward Member C: The other 14 Wards managed to have successful Tours thanks to them, don’t you think we have a chance too? 

HAMA Ward Member D: Right! Having twins act as Ward Mayors shows how novel they are at selecting fitting personnel. Not to mention, the two of them are super adorable!

Daniel: The seats aren’t all filled, but you can tell the folks present are all people who wanna see their own wards flourish. 

Momiji: That’s right… Do your best, Night Team…! Please try to put the peoples’ minds at ease! 

Kafka: With the addition of the Night Team, I hereby declare once more, as representative of all the Ward Mayors, that we shall perform our duties to the best of our abilities for the specially designated tourism wards.

*clapping*

Kafka: Now, Nagi Hachinoya, the Mayor of Ward 16 and leader of the Night Team: Please come forward.

Nagi: Yes.

*Nagi moves to the front, jumps back from the mic, before standing in front of it again*

Nagi: Um… Hello. I’m Nagi Hachino–

*thump*

HAMA Ward Member C: …He hit his head on the mic. 

Nagi: …Ouch… Oh. Um, Sorry. Right…

*Nagi completely freezes*

Nagi: ……

Nagi: ……

Nagi: ……

HAMA Ward Member B: …Did the mic bug out? Need to fix that… 

Momiji: N-Nagi-kun, calm down! Or wait, maybe he’s too calm right now…!?

Netaro: He’s come to a full stop~

Yodaka: Right… Just looking at him is making me anxious too. 

Ryui: Oi oi, are we seriously letting someone like that be the leader…!

Toi: C-Cue card! Nagi-kun, look for your cue card! In your pockets…! 

Nagi: Oh, right. I have those, um… 

HAMA Ward Member D: Oh! He’s moving again!

Nagi: …… 

HAMA Ward Member A: …And now he’s stuck again. 

Nagi: (The cue card… is completely drenched for some reason. I can’t read a single word.)

Nagi: (Oh, that’s right… I was thinking about what to write for my speech when someone called for me, so I left the room after tucking the card in my pocket and then I put the clothes for wash, not to mention I also got splashed by the fountain toda–)

Daniel:  …He’s been quiet for too long. The folks are getting restless. 

Momiji: Oh no, what if Nagi-kun gets a bad rep over this… 

Nagi: (Can’t be helped. I’ll have to give up on this.) 

Toi: Huh? He put the cue card back in his pocket… 

Nagi: I asked myself if I’d done everything I could until now. 

HAMA Ward Member C: …He started talking all of a sudden, but what’s he on about?

Ryui: Where’s the context, dumbass…! 

Nagi: All my life, nothing ever turned out right, so I always get cold feet when it comes to doing anything at all. 

Nagi: Life would always pass by me, just like a river… and I was someone who could only watch it from the side. 

Nagi: But then I tried running up a hill for someone else’s sake, and then I grabbed onto someone with all my might… Um, what I’m trying to say is, I jumped into the river and went against the flow, and the result was actually good for once.

Nagi: That’s why I decided I’ll try my best with everything. 

Momiji: …… 

HAMA Ward Member C: …He looks refreshed. Wait, is he done already? 

Nagi: Um.

HAMA Ward Member A: No, looks like he’s still got something to say…! 

Nagi: Our washing machines can erase both stains and cue cards. That’s all.

*silence*

Nagi: HAMA Nice Trip.

Location: Ten Nights of Dreams BAR

Nagi: I think I gave the best speech I could. 

*Ryui grabs Nagi*

Ryui: In what world!? Were you TRYING to kill me from secondhand embarrassment!? 

Nagi: Ugh… Please don’t shake me so much.

Sonia: Leave Nagi-shan alone~!

Mashiro: The two of you, please, do calm down! 

Laika: Down! 

Momiji: Um, good work at the ceremony today, everyone! Eat and drink as much as you want so you can have a fresh start tomorrow! 

Yodaka: Good work on your speech, Nagi. 

Chouun: It was very impressive. 

Toi: He did his best…! 

Netaro: It was hilarious! 

Nagi: Yeah. Though everyone left immediately after. 

Daniel: Oh yeah, I heard some gramps say it was over for us. Couldn’t help but laugh at that. 

Momiji: Wha- Manager…! 

Daniel: What? It’s not like I’m down in the dumps about it. 

Momiji: (Maybe not YOU, but what about the others!? What if this makes Nagi-kun depressed—) 

Nagi: Chief, the future looks bright. 

Momiji: Huh? 

Nagi: …I’ve always thought of myself as powerless. But then, I managed to stop Ryui with my own two hands— 

Ryui: Literally. 

Nagi: I got Toi to smile again. The happiness from that day still gives me strength, even after all this time. I’m brimming with sparkling energy.

Daniel: That the face of someone sparkling? 

Yodaka: Quiet, Danny. 

Nagi: …All this time, I let go of so many things because I was afraid that I’d fail to be happy 

Nagi: Now, it’s like there’s someone telling me it’s time to take them back. 

Netaro: Is this the work of a guardian spirit or some sort? 

Toi: Hm, I don’t think that’s— 

Ryui: A person with no confidence can’t do shit. 

Nagi: In that case, I’m sure I can do anything now. 

Momiji: (Nagi-kun’s never spoken so positively before…!)

Momiji: That’s right! As long as we’re alive, we have to find a way to be happy. 

Nagi: …! We have to be happy… You’re right. 

Netaro: Since happiness is a chemical reaction, anyone is capable of replicating it. Should I lend you some references? 

Nagi: Yes, please. I’ll read them all. And then–

Nagi: I WILL be happy. 

Momiji: Yep yep! 

Nagi: And after I become happy, I’ll put that energy into flowers and scatter them all across the world.

Momiji: That’s a great idea! 

Ryui: Scattering flowers everywhere…? Sounds disturbing for some reason. 

Daniel: Right, Ryui, about your shop… 

Ryui: I know. I need a shop to be a Ward Mayor, right? 

Momiji: That’s right. The criteria for selecting members of the Night Team is that  “they own a shop with roots in the local districts” after all. 

Ryui: I’ve already been looking into some properties with Toi. 

Toi: We managed to find a property with the perfect feng shui. Not only is it facing the right direction, it’s even well-balanced between yin and yang energies. But… 

Ryui: We’ve got a problem with the owner. 

Toi: The Master of the house… In other words, this person is an old friend of our grandfather. 

Ryui: Not sure if he’s pulling strings behind the scenes, but our negotiations are going nowhere. 

Toi: I’ve asked them personally too, but… 

Ryui: You don’t have to go through all that trouble. But, thank you. 

Momiji: (I remember Toi-kun mentioning that Ryui-kun doesn’t have good relations with their family…)

Ryui: If he wasn’t in the picture, this wouldn’t be a problem, fuck’s sake. 

Netaro: Is he a hindrance?

Ryui: Yeah. 

Netaro: In that case, how about I control him using brain waves? The human brain is surprisingly easy to— 

Nagi: -Easy to understand! He’s saying we should deepen our bonds by helping out our fellow men. 

Netaro: Or perhaps I could falsify the registry after making a clone–

Nagi: He’s offering to take out a loan to buy the property, yeah. 

Ryui: What the hell are you on? 

Netaro: Oyoyo? 

Toi: I’m sure he was just trying to help in his own way. Thank you as always, Netaro-san. 

Netaro: Toi is my precious human after all. 

Toi: Huh…! Um, you’re precious to me too, Netaro-san… 

Netaro: We have to watch the continuation of “Crash Landing on AI?” after all. 

Toi: Yeah! Let’s buy lots of popsicles on the way back home too!

Netaro and Toi: Yay~ 

Nagi: The two of them first bonded over Studio Ghizli. 

Ryui: …Hah? 

Momiji: (Ryui-kun’s in a terrible mood right now…!) 

Yodaka: So, have you decided on what kind of shop you’d like to run? 

Ryui: …Don’t feel like telling you. 

Yodaka: Oh my… Fufu, are you the type to hold secrets? Or perhaps you enjoy surprises? 

Ryui: …Tch. 

Toi: Wha~ It’s still a secret? I haven’t heard yet either… 

Ryui: …… 

Toi: Ani-sama, please tell me~?

Ryui: …Can’t be helped. I’ll tell you, and only you. 

Toi: Okay! 

Momiji: (They’re whispering to each other… How cute. They’re close as usual.) 

Yodaka: The young man with an eyepatch who hides the name of his castle… There’s a certain romance to it. 

Daniel: What’s the point when we’ll find out soon enough. 

Momiji: Let’s let him be until he decides to open up on his own, okay? 

Note:

I’m not 100% on this but I think AIの胴体着陸 (AI Belly Landing) is a parody of Crash Landing on You, a romantic Korean drama, which is localized in Japanese as 愛の不時着 (Love’s Crash Landing) where AI and Ai(meaning love) is the closest connection I have, since both Toi and Netaro enjoy watching romance and Netaro watches shows in other languages, including Korean.

Gonna be real, I think Link deserves to have a panic attack. Just a full-blown mental deteriorating, absolute heart-wrenching scene of him absolutely losing his shit. I'm just thinking like... Imagine Link learning about what happened to Zelda in TotK and his response being something like falling to his knees, something to show that he can't Take It anymore

I want this twink to absolutely crumple.

At least Tarn's a tank and can help feeding the little ones when the nurse sleeps or works.

Unfortunately no. In the donor clause au, Tarn's a Seekerkin mech. Any kind of personal refineries or shared fueling systems will be incompatible with any frame he has.

Nickel had beat that into his head before the impulse to get a botch job from a catalog took root. Tarn simply gets a thing for your own wells and becomes a walking encyclopedia on various personal refineries and fueling systems.

Unless it's bottle feeding, then yes. Luckily, the nurse has fantastic production. There's a nice surplus in the medbay and Tarn's quarters. He gets the bottle for the newsparks can suckle. Thankfully, Seekerkin sparklings develop a fueling rhythm within the clutch, so only one or two (particular to the split-sparks) need to be fed at a time and around the clock.

Seekerkin femmes have unique refineries of pure protoform. The D.J.D. got a good look at yours and are highly curious because it's not the silicone bags that needs to be emptied out before packed away like they're used to.

Helex and Tesarus were in a room with their own out and went, "Oh yeah, those are different. Let's ask Nickel."

Nickel understands what they're asking about. It's the same quirk that's that was an issue in Prion among their own brand of Seekerkin. Because on Prion, everyone had multiple alt-modes. It came with its own challenges to get their frames and coding in smooth order. Depending on the mecha's spark, some alt-mode unique characteristics need to be suppressed or taken out to work with others.

Because Nickel enjoys her submarine alt-mode, she doesn't have personal refineries. She has an external fueling system that's similar to a convoy where the access points are hidden along her torso and the cables can be pulled to a certain distance where it's tapped into her internal hold.

hey uh remember when my profile pic was this

No?? its been weeks since then??

...time isn't real, it's fine

anyways its this now. finally stopped tinkering with it and settled on a version i like so yeah :)

idk if it is even interpretable, I'm not much of an artist. It's an axolotl and also a robot. (rob-otl? robot-olotl? something like that)
