SCP-1762: Where The Dragons Went:

Object Class: Safe Neutralized

CP-1762-1 is a plain, cardboard box that is 32 cm x 20 cm x 26 cm. It is spray-painted silver on the interior and exterior, and the words "HERE BE DRAGONS" are handwritten in black permanent marker on the lid of the container. Opening the lid of SCP-1762-1 when it is not in the process of a release reveals it to be empty.

SCP-1762-2 is the collective term applied to the beings that emerge from SCP-1762-1. All instances of SCP-1762-2 bear resemblance to various types of dragons, in both Eastern and Western depictions, albeit in forms similar to that of origami models. Analysis of SCP-1762-2 reveals that they are composed of Kami paper. After exiting SCP-1762-1, instances of SCP-1762-2 will fly together in large groups and interact playfully with any nearby personnel and each other.

SCP-529: Josie the Half-Cat

Object Class: Safe

SCP-529 is a small house cat (Felis catus) with grey tabby markings. Parts of the animal to the rear of the end of the ribcage appear to be missing. The body terminates sharply as if sliced in two. In spite of this, the animal has no health problems, and moves about as if its hindquarters were still in place. For example, walking takes place as usual, and some time after feeding the animal makes motions as if to void itself of waste matter.

The images don’t actually indicate this but my morning escalated so quickly.

I got up this morning and threw together a second batch of gluten-free mini bagels for little T, my coworker’s kid, who (if these work for him) will get to have bagels for the first time ever. I kind of enjoy how the bagel dough holds the form of my fingers after I’ve pushed it into the bowl. While that rose I was going to clean... 

NaClYoHo for the day was supposed to be about crafting supplies. I had my craft supplies scattered over what I thought was four locations: 

craft organizer boxes under the craft/sewing desk

a bin of stuff I am currently working on in the baker’s rack

a drawer in my hall cabinet

an end-table that has drawers that aren’t normally accessible because of the way it’s situated, which I thought was long-term craft storage

Turns out that I had, at some point, taken the craft stuff out of the inaccessible end table and filled it instead with stuff I thought I wouldn’t want access to very often -- mainly some ball caps and some less useful kitchen stuff (a tea set my gran owned, serving trays, etc). But I had a moth issue over the summer (resolved now) and I didn’t realize the moths had gotten into those drawers, so EVERYTHING needed washing. Gross. 

Still, I cleaned all the stuff in the drawers or packed it in a plastic bag for washing later. While the dishwasher ran, I got to work on my craft stuff, mainly the fabric. You can see the organized “fabric drawer” in the photo above. There’s some unusual fabric (lace, t-shirts) that I’ll need to go through but I want to store elsewhere; this also doesn’t include fabric for specific projects, which I sorted into separate bins, or cross-stitch stuff, which went into its own pile.

But by the time I was done going through every container and sorting JUST the fabric and organizing it all, I was mentally unready to address the real nonsense that is all the smaller craft stuff -- beads and findings and art markers and such. A lot of my craft stuff won’t need much organization (the glue-and-paint box, the origami box, etc) but sorting through all the smaller stuff is going to take more time and energy than I want to expend today, so the craftageddon will have to continue into next week. 

I felt like I really should push on, but I stopped to review how much I’d done and I really did spend significant time working this morning. I listened to “A Historically Bad Year To Retire” and “The Taylor Swift Ticketmaster Debacle” from The Journal, Friday’s episode of City Cast Chicago about property taxes and legal weed, “What’s Up Doc” from Radiolab which was a delightful and extremely touching tribute to Mel Blanc, and an episode of True Crime Obsessed (Finding Andrea Part 4) which did inspire me to go buy tickets to Patrick Hinds’ book tour reading in Chicago next year. That didn’t seem like a lot because they’re mainly short episodes, but all told it was an hour and forty minutes of work, so I feel accomplished timewise if not taskwise. 

Dearborn, whose motto is “no legs, no problems” kept an eye on me to make sure the fabric didn’t maul me when I tried to fold it. Polk often makes herself scarce when I clean, and especially if I’m throwing boxes around....

A day for chocolate

(A short IchiAki Valentines day one-shot I forgot to post on here)

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

· · ─────── ·𖥸· ─────── · ·

He's been looking forward to seeing her at least once all day. The girl he was infatuated with, or well... She wasn't just some girl, she was a woman. And she had his heart. And Ichimatsu wanted to see her, he didn't want to wait until the weekend.

Valentine's Day just came and went as he walked around the city, hoping to find her. He tried to stop her in the morning while she was on her way to work but he overslept. He hoped to catch her while she was on her lunch break but by the time he came to her usual spot he had just about missed her. Now there was just one spot where she could see, on that spit overlooking the city.

He made it there just as the cotton candy skies began to fade, being overtaken by the starry night sky as the sunset. The hill, a bench, a single trash can, and a street lamp. Still in her work uniform. She was sitting there, all alone, drinking bubble tea she always went to one specific tea shop to get. Was it too cliche? No! He had to do this!

Swallowing down his nervousness, Ichimatsu approached her, although his steps grew rigid as he neared her. Then he stopped before her. "Hey... Aki-chan..." He greeted timidly.

"Yo, Ichi." Aki greeted him back as he approached, holding the paper straw between her lips for a moment before releasing it. She scooted to the side on the bench, patting the spot next to her. A nonverbal invitation for him to sit by her. "Happy Valentine's Day."

"Ha-happy Valentine..." Ichimatsu said back, stuttering as his shaky hands reached into his hoodie pocket as he sat next to her. He pulled out a small plastic pouch, closed up with a black ribbon. Inside of it? An origami cat ring and a few pieces of wrapped pieces of dark chocolate. "Here. For... For you, I know you don't like sweets, but I hope you... Like it." He said under his breath, holding it out to her. Yet he didn't make eye contact with her.

Aki turned her attention to him as he held his gift out to her, he beat her to it it seemed. She had to clear her throat and place her cup down before gently receiving the gift. She was honestly touched, her sweet... Timid boyfriend, is always so considerate... Clever too, his chocolates weren't even close to melting thanks to them being dark chocolate. "Aw, thank you Ichimatsu." She cooed, carefully undoing the ribbon and reaching into the pouch to take the ring out. She admired it, it was so cute, and just so 'him' as well. She slipped it on and turned her gaze to him, a grateful smile on her face. "I love it."

Ichimatsu observed her the whole time as she handled his hard work with such care, she was so graceful. "I-I'm glad... I didn't know what else to get you- I went with the safest option." He admitted, rubbing the back of his neck while his other hand flattened down the creases in his hoodie.

"Heh... Well, I'd be happy with whatever I received from you. In not that picky." Aki admitted as she reached into her bag. Pushing her wallet, phone, and whatnot out of the way so she could pull out a purple box of chocolates out of her bag, she held it out to him. It was even topped up with a lacy purple ribbon. "Here, I've never done this before so they may be a bit deformed."

Now it was Ichimatsu's turn to be surprised. Mostly because he didn't expect her to find the time to make anything for him. "You... For me?" He questioned, bewildered.

"Who else, you big goof? Take it!" Aki laughed, handing him his box of chocolates. She's never made homemade chocolate, and making sweets was never her strong suit. But she didn't want to just buy him chocolates from the store, it felt less genuine. And this was... For him.

"God... Thank you." He breathed out with a small smile forming on his face as he undid the ribbon and removed the lid. He was met with some... Funny looking flat, a bit melted, cat-shaped chocolates. They were... Incredibly ugly, but hey, she tried. Ichimatsu had to hold back a snort, placing a hand over his mouth as he placed the box into his lap. "Dear God, Aki..." He wheezed out as a chuckle escaped him.

"Don't laugh at my babies!" Aki whined, but she herself couldn't hold back laughing at the way they looked. "They are deformed, and they are ugly, but at least they have a lot of personality."

"Sure, sure... They're beautiful." Ichimatsu snickered out before taking one out of the box and eating it. "Tastes good too..." He remarked, licking the chocolate stains off his fingers.

"At least there's that. I kept them in the fridge at the office, you have no idea how many people I had to threaten to stop them from eating them!" Aki huffed as she took one of her dark chocolate pieces out and ate them. Ah, dark chocolate... It was bitter and... Spicy? Oooh, they had chilli powder in them! Ichimatsu, you sly dog! "The whole department- luckily I didn't have HR on my ass for it." She added, pursing her lips.

They both let out a small dry laugh before silence befell them, a comfortable silence. Ichimatsu leaned himself against Aki as they enjoyed each other's company and the chocolates they received. Washing it down with Aki's bubble tea. It was nice.

"So... Will you be my Valentine?" Ichimatsu spoke up, after gathering the courage to break the silence.

"... Heh, yeah, sure... I'd love to... I do have a special surprise planned for you at my place... If you're interested, kitty-cat." Aki offered, wrapping an arm around him and leaning down to place a chase kiss on his head, then when he lifted his head she took the chance to steal a kiss from his lips as well. She ended up tasting chocolate. This was the only kind of sweet she could accept.

Ichimatsu's face turned red, both from her invitation and her nickname. She had something planned? He gets to go to her place? That means he'll get to see Reginald again! "S-sure..." He answered, swallowing a lump in his throat. "I wouldn't mind that."

Aki smiled, licking the edges of her lips. "Hope you like chocolate fondue and strawberries."

[millenniumdueled]

Yugi will receive a two gift wrapped boxes. One was long but narrow and flat, wrapped not in wrapping paper, but instead what appeared to be actual papyrus. The other was much a much smaller rectangle, wrapped in purple paper with light violet hearts all over it. Opening the first, they would find a black case containing a khopesh. The khopesh's blade was black, with a slight violet hue. In place of the fuller, a number of carefully etched decorative designs ran up the center of the blade all the way down to near the hilt- where an especially large design of the millennium eye was embossed. The handle itself was composed of gold with horn scales, with small violet gemstones embedded periodically on the hilt, and another moulding of the eye acting as a pommel. The grip itself was more simple, the black horn was shaped ergonomically, with lines etched into it to make avoid slippage. But when gripped by the handle, as if to wield it, the blade would immediately become slick with a slightly greenish fluid. The note attached, addressed to Yami, would explain it to be a paralytic venom- meant to stun but not kill.. But warned them to be careful nonetheless. The second gift box contained.. What appeared to be a water bottle. It was colorfully designed, with what appeared to be a nebula on the plastic of the bottle. The gaseous clouds were primarily purple and violet in hue, and the design was somehow not static, shifting very slowly, the stars twinkling as if the surface was a livestream of space itself. The lid was a much more simple purple color, with a cap that flipped open to allow them to open it for a drink, and could be kept open with a little clasp. Between the drinking hole and the clasp- only visible when the bottle was closed, was a little switch reading "Full" on one side, and "Empty" on the other, currently set to Empty. The note would explain that, when the switch was set to full, whatever liquid was placed inside the bottle would be constantly refilled and keep at a refrigerated temperature. Setting it to empty would empty the bottle for when it wasn't in use, but would keep a memory of the last liquid until the bottle was opened and filled with something else- allowing Yugi to change their choice in drink. The note would explain that right now, it was set to a protein shake. And at the bottom, Equius would write a short note wishing Yugi a happy birthday and expressing a hope that they have a good time and that the gifts are sufficient.

Yugi will give control over to his Other to open his gift first, admittedly curious himself by the size and the earlier conversation with Equius. Yami's hands run over the textured paper, brows furrowing slightly as he spares a glace at the more ornate pattern of his Partner's present. He begins to unwrap the large box, much more carefully than Kaiba's booster packs he'd been tearing into earlier, and then opens the black case. Gasps a soft "Oh," as he admires the ornate curved sword he can only assume must be Egyptian in origin, the Wadjet eyes all but confirming his hunch.

His eyes light up as he gently takes it from its case to better admire. Though he knows nothing about weapons, even he can recognize and appreciate the fine craftsmanship that must have gone into the present. A small smile crosses his lips as he wraps a hand around the hilt to pose with, only for the oozing green fluid to catch him by surprise. He returns the sword to its case to read the note with a quiet, amused "Huh."

"you okay, other me??"

"Mhm. Equius really went all out, it's almost a shame I'll never get to put it to proper use," he chuckles, then sits back on his ankles as he sets the large case aside. "It's your turn."

His violet eyes close for just a second, opening again with a brighter, wide eyed expression and hearts for pupils.

Yugi doesn't hesitate, grabbing up his smaller present with a big grin. He tries to be careful with the cute paper, hoping to maybe use it again for origami or such, only to end up giving in and tearing it anyway. He's too excited to see what Equius had come up with!

His eyes sparkle as he takes the water bottle, turning it over in his hands to admire the shifting image of stars and colorful clouds. He's mesmerized for a few seconds before he takes the note. His smile grows and grows as he reads about the magic properties of this vessel, and he can't help but chuckle a little when he learns the contents Equius had included. Flips the little switch to Full in order to give it a try.

"huh. that's actually not so bad."

did you know how unnecessarily eastrgjl The Origami King is with its collision data

this is from one of the first areas in the game. it checks for collision against Mario with every one of these triangles even though this is a wall you don't really interact with at all

it would not have made a difference to remove them other than less wasted processing power and smaller file size

similarly, here's a (significantly less wasteful) collision mesh of a barrel. even though it's much better, there still is not really a reason why the lid is its completely separate mesh

Origami

I signed up for the origami workshop within this workshop we learned how to make a masu box and then a lid. We were taught how to change the size of the box while still using the same size paper. We then divided into teams and were given the task of creating a functional box to hold three biscuits in. The box had to be sustainable with as little waste as possible and protect the biscuits from damage. My group achieved this by putting on masu box inside another then placing shredded paper inside. The shredded paper acted as a very effective protective layer and also a functional use for a waste product. We then placed two lids over the box and decorated them with markers. Each group explained Their design to the rest and then the boxes were dropped from a height to test their functionality to assess if the biscuits remained intact after falling. Our protective layer of shredded paper meant that our biscuits didn't break. I found this concept of using a paper box to protect something very interesting as paper is not usually the material we think of when it comes to keeping something safe from breaking or being stolen. Due to my project looking at valuable objects I thought it would be interesting to make a safe out of paper in the same way you would have safe for valuable antiques, jewelry or artwork.

Embryology

Returning from viruses to the embryology of larger creatures, I come to my favourite analogy among human construction techniques: origami. Origami is the art of constructive paper-folding, developed to its most advanced level in Japan. The only origami creation I know how to make is the 'Chinese Junk'. I was taught it by my father, who learned it in a craze that swept through his boarding school during the 1920s.

One biologically realistic feature is that the 'embryology' of the Chinese junk passes through several intermediate 'larval' stages, which are in themselves pleasing creations, just as a caterpillar is a beautiful, working intermediate on the way to a butterfly, which it scarcely resembles at all. Starting with a simple square piece of paper, and simply folding it - never cutting it, never glueing it, and never importing any other pieces - the procedure takes us through three recognizable 'larval stages': a 'catamaran', a 'box with two lids' and a 'picture in a frame', before culminating in the 'adult' Chinese junk itself. In favour of the origami analogy, when you first are taught how to make a Chinese junk, not only the junk itself but each of the three 'larval' stages - catamaran, cupboard, picture frame - comes as a surprise. Your hands may do the folding, but you are emphatically not following a blueprint for a Chinese junk, or for any of the larval stages. You are following a set of folding rules that seem to have no connection with the end product, until it finally emerges like a butterfly from its chrysalis. So the origami analogy captures something of the importance of 'local rules' as opposed to a global plan.

Also in favour of the origami analogy, folding, invagination and turning inside out are some of the favourite tricks used by embryonic tissues when making a body. The analogy works especially well for the early embryonic stages. But it has its shortcomings, and here are two obvious ones. First, human hands are needed to do the folding. Second, the developing paper 'embryo' doesn't grow larger. It ends up weighing exactly as much as when it started. To acknowledge the difference, I shall sometimes refer to biological embryology as inflating origami', rather than just 'origami'.

Actually, these two shortcomings kind of cancel each other out. The sheets of tissue that fold, invaginate and turn inside out in a developing embryo do indeed grow, and it is that very growth that provides part of the motive force which, in origami, is supplied by the human hand. If you wanted to make an origami model with a sheet of living tissue instead of dead paper, there is at least a sporting chance that, if the sheet were to grow in just the right way, not uniformly but faster in some parts of the sheet than in others, this might automatically cause the sheet to assume a certain shape - and even fold or invaginate or turn inside out in a certain way - without the need for hands to do the stretching and folding, and without the need for any global plan, but only local rules. And actually it's more than just a sporting chance, because it really happens. Let's call it 'autoorigami'.

How does auto-origami work in practice, in embryology? It works because what happens in the real embryo, when a sheet of tissue grows, is that cells divide. And differential growth of the different parts of the sheet of tissue is achieved by the cells, in each part of the sheet, dividing at a rate determined by local rules. So, by a roundabout route, we return to the fundamental importance of bottom-up local rules as opposed to top-down global rules. It is a whole series of (far more complicated) versions of this simple principle that actually go on in the early stages of embryonic development.

Here's how the origami goes in the early stages of vertebrate development. The single fertilized egg cell divides to make two cells. Then the two divide to make four. And so on, with the number of cells rapidly doubling and redoubling. At this stage there is no growth, no inflation. The original volume of the fertilized egg is literally divided, as in slicing a cake, and we end up with a spherical ball of cells which is the same size as the original egg. It's not a solid ball but a hollow one, and it is called the blastula. The next stage [is] gastrulation. Gastrulation is a kind of microcosmic earthquake which sweeps over the blastula's surface and revolutionizes its entire form. The tissues of the embryo become massively reorganized. Gastrulation typically involves a denting of the hollow ball that is the blastula, so that it becomes two-layered with an opening to the outside world (see the computer simulation on p. 231). The outer layer of this 'gastrula' is called the ectoderm, the inner layer is the endoderm, and there are also some cells thrown into the space between the ectoderm and endoderm, which are called mesoderm. Each of these three primordial layers is destined to make major parts of the body. For example, the outer skin and nervous system come from the ectoderm; the guts and other internal organs come from the endoderm; and the mesoderm furnishes muscle and bone.

The next stage in the embryo's origami is called neurulation. [...] In neurulation, as in gastrulation, invagination is much in evidence. [...] Gastrulation and neurulation are accomplished early in development and they affect the whole shape of the embryo. Invagination and other 'inflating origami' manoeuvres achieve these stages of early embryology, and they and similar tricks are involved later in development, when specialized organs like eyes and the heart are made. But, given that there are no hands to do the folding, by what mechanical process are these dynamic movements achieved? Partly, as I have already said, by simple expansion itself. Cells multiply all through a sheet of tissue. Its area therefore increases and, having nowhere else to go, it has little choice but to buckle or invaginate.

konan hastily approaches God with a humble posture and an intricate package in her hands. she stops and bows respectfully before him and makes her offering; a handmade origami box containing handmade chocolate; both lovingly crafted by none other than herself. " today is the day for gifts of heartfelt nature. i pray that you enjoy it, nagato. " || @karenuhana

Nagato heard quick steps rush down the hall towards him, forcing him to incline his head with urgency. Worry fixed into his brow whenever Konan appeared ( elusive was her expression ) and a box nestled between her palms.

"Thank you, my angel." he says.

He receives the gesture and peels back the lid to see chocolates. His lap the shrine of his temple, he picked up one of the many pieces and inspected it.

"Did you make these?"
