Day 6

Hoooo boy! Not even a week in and things are weird.

The morning started before dawn with Ivy waking me up, chanting: "LEAVE ME BE OR PERISH, LEAVE ME BE OR PERISH!" After a while, she calmed down and claimed she doesn't remember anything. Then Pamela started shaking and repeating "I'll smite you, I'll smite you!" Animals all together started howling. Pixies in the bushes shrieked. In a minute, everything stopped. WHAT THE ACTUAL [AUTOMATICALLY_TAGGED_AS_INAPPROPRIATE]?

Kazakhs and Russians continued to scare me further in the morning. I woke up few hours later (i definitely had not enough sleep upon Ivy's demonic possession) and saw them deepfrying what my sleepy self assumed to be silica gel packets. No, apparently they learned to make a substitute for yeast-free dough out of wooloon fruits and were making bugfish ravioli. The thing is, both wooloon flesh and bugfish meat have a blue tint, so they don't look appetizing. Even after being fried in bread crumbs, blue is still see through. So it looks moldy. These psychopaths proudly called it "smurfioli"

Rustam found a big pile of organic garbage: leaves, rotten fruits, pieces of wood laying on the edge of the clearing. At first, he wanted to shovel it, but I managed to convince him not to. Compost piles are a home to many creatures: snakes, lizards and some insects put their eggs in there. Larvae feed off it. When it rots, it emits warmth, so naturally many creatures are attracted to it.

I put gloves on and dug through the pile. I found some tiny bugfish relatives and slugs, a small (2cm long) cocoon, and a few eggs resembling miniscule sushi rolls. A white pod we thought to be a tree seed turned out to be an invertebrate in a spiky shell. In water it unwrapped its tendrils. When presented food (a slug), it relaxed sphincter around mouth cavity, creating suction effect with its inner muscles and pulling the slug in.

And we were also lucky to find two larger animals that we suspect are babies of a bigger species. These are clearly not vampire or pixie related, as they have developed jaws. Both creatures seem to be female, but one is bigger than the other and has a much thicker skin and more pronounced pastel peach pigmentation, while the little one only has color on her helmet. Both have teeny tiny antennae on their heads and two growths that seem to be underdeveloped wings on their backs.

I emptied a big plastic container and made an enclosure for them to study.

The older one, codename Fierce, is 65 millimeters (2,5in) long

The younger one, codename Chillpill is only 38 millimeters.

Even at this age their personalities vary drastically. Fierce is constantly mad at something. Her stinger lacks venom, but she's still bluffing by waving it at us and making noises of a small remote control car. She has four small blunt teeth and uses them to full potential. While Chillpill is very calm about being picked up and just doesn't seem to be bothered. Nothing ruins good vibes for her. Here she is napping with her warm emotional support smurfioli.

Chillpill's cyanosis bothered me.

We thought she is hypoxic, but she didn't seem to struggle. She moves around with ease and has a great appetite. She even chases food. We looked at the mouth of Fierce (not without being bitten) and it is also blue inside. So, we confirmed that their blood contains hemocyanin. It's based on copper, while hemoglobin is based on iron.

(We also think that the creature that first vampire bit could be the same species.)

An unpleasant find we had in the woods. It's a round lake with a tall cliff in the middle. Looks like a place to live, BUT. The lake was full of floatpods. And they were moving freely. When floatpod is mature, its stems shrivel and pods float in the air like heavily flammable balloons. In the air the pressure or heat pops them and that's how seeds are dispersed. Those pods were mature, but didn't fly.

Then I realized: they were weighed down, attached to something with a thin, almost transparent string. The lake was a literal minefield. On the shore, there were cacti. Lots of them. Ground around them was disturbed. They weren't growing there, but planted. I cut one open and it was hollow inside. Bet my butt, also filled with methane. Methane used in gas stoves has smelly additives for easier leak detection, but by itself is odorless and I'm not willing to test it. We turned away and booked it back to the camp. I think we need to assign night guard.

Spent 90 mins completely losing my senses and just meditating. I'm really focused on giving myself the gift of healing. My friends and families have overwhelmed me with love and hope and I'm so grateful and thankful to know so many of you. I know everyone is having a rough time of it right now and in someways reaching out and hearing that from everyone has reminded me that all we have is each other. And that it's going to get better. Way better. Very happy I survived #covid Very happy to be here. Even if things are shit, just reach out. It's gonna be ok. ♥️ You have a 100% success rate so far for making it thru. . . . #thankful #luckyme #sensorydeprivation #floattank #floatpod #sacramento #healthcareburnout #love #friendship #grateful #selfimprovement (at FloatAway Spas) https://www.instagram.com/p/CSrw8ShJ5nv/?utm_medium=tumblr

Every float means two weeks free of inflammation. That’s a big deal when you’re turning 40!👵🏻 The pod was alright but I prefer the bonding experience of floating with my partner.💕 #floatpod #floattherapy #floatsession #floatspa19 #slc (at Float Spa 19) https://www.instagram.com/p/Bw0Qg5Tnnxj/?igshid=1ax3izxx7mshe

Day 3

We didn't find anyone upon inspection of the border, but fishbug was missing from its bucket.

Nazira and Rustam were on watch throughout the night, but the intruder never came back.

Well, because it never left. I found him upon waking up.

It's an intact male, 4-6 months, probably one of those released by government. I told em cats (and many other earth species) are highly invasive and will wreck havoc on environment. But what do I know I'm jUsT a DuMb fEmALe.

Ded Egor has a death wish. He caught the thing. The fishbug. Then cooked and ate it. If the cat did it, he guessed it's fine. He was right. That's not a venom gland, it's an ink sack. Now his beard is dyed blue. Well, I guess it's exactly how cavemen figured out what you can eat, but there were seventeen of us and we already lost one. An extremely stupid dog, but anyway! We're going to run out before our rations!

Zira and Tasya brought more fruits and we planted their seeds, too. Men are expanding the garden. Larisa, as a botanist, tries to classify new plants.

They ejected a capsule with walkie talkies! They also gave us medicines. I guess the fact that we are still kicking impressed them so much. Buttholes know more than they tell.

The same day, Daniel called, saying he's being attacked by a giant mosquito. We rushed to find him unconscious, with a hole in his stomach. His skin is pale, he probably lost a lot of blood. Saburo and Kristo are fighting for his life.

Pam called the head office for emergency lift. They responded that they "don't have resources" and "don't want to take unnecessary risk". The [AUTOMATICALLY_TAGGED_AS_INAPPROPRIATE] you mean? What did you see to pee your panties so much?!

The thing that attacked him didn't fly away because it ate too much blood and was too heavy to do so.

Looks a tiny bit like a fly or mosquito, but like bugfish it's a vertebrate, a big one, the size of a wolf. Also jawless, but snout is protruding into a proboscis with teeth on the end of it. We tried to put it down carefully to study, but Egor beat it up with a club and its stomach burst, spilling on my legs.

Gee thanks ( ╯°益°)╯彡┻━┻

The thing is, the contents of the stomach were purple, not red. Sucking bugfish ink would be inefficient, since they are way too small. It would need a hundred, if not thousands of those. And the color isn't that intense. Did it suck blood out of a giant octopus previously? Dan is lucky it did, or it would suck out much more of his blood before its hunger is quenched. And I doubt he'd survive that.

Correction on previous notes: floatpod's bubbles aren't filled with air. They are filled with METHANE! Kids threw it in campfire to see it pop and it EXPLODED near a boiling cauldron. Only one person was injured in the process GUESS WHO! DING DING MOTHER[AUTOMATICALLY_TAGGED_AS_INAPPROPRIATE] DING! Yes, I have second degree burns all over my legs.

My hiking pants were drying from previous ordeal and I had very thin yoga pants on. Turns out, they aren't a great heat isolator! My body is hot pink below the bikini area all the way to ankle joints (rubber boots saved my feet). Also a piece of cauldron shot and scratched my leg. Kids got very minor burns from drops as I was mostly in the way of explosion. My insane luck, man.

Men carried me to the stream to cool off. Saburo is watching me so I don't drown if I pass out. He gave me ketorol, but I'm still in a lot of pain. Cat sits nearby, looking at something. Ghost hunting kitty business. Dan is stable, but still extremely weak, girls agreed to take turns watching sick people at night to make sure they're alright.

Obviously, I'm not in the mood to illustrate anything at the moment, but Stas provided his artistic iteration of the event

Keith, the kid who set off a bomb, says his imaginary friend told him to do so to see what happens, and asked him to apologize on his behalf. Classic.

Also I might have a slight brain or eye damage. I see things, or rather don't see certain things that I know were there! I'll try to sleep and see if my health improves.
