Chilaios server ramblings the first. Being in this server has blasted our brain and awakened our capacity to ramble for screens upon screens at a time and although we have more coherent offerings many of them are waiting on one of the people who features heavily in conversation okay-ing us posting 21 screenshots heavily featuring them. Transcript below cut.

A set of screenshots of a Discord conversation, featuring us, Mantis God, nicknamed Speculative Vore Cookbook, and no one else because we cropped them out.

So! Whiskers, and greetings involving them.

We will preface this with the note that we are, of course, trying to keep with half-foot mannerisms and such reading as ever so slightly more expressive and thus "childish". Which is to say, fun things like lots of movement that would be thoroughly impractical for a larger species, that they can get away with because being smaller means that moving around simply burns less energy with less half-foot to move around.

With whiskers allowing for them to detect motion and vibration Very Well, especially, you get an excellent avenue for movement and, especially, tactile interactions being key in social situations.

With what we've already done: we've set up the brief bump of whiskers as a greeting - probably not necessarily a very strong bump, but one that lets you feel the other member of the conversation… being there, for lack of a better word. This also, by design, will put both participants fairly close to each other, physically.

We think it is perhaps Fun if "polite" for half-foots looks very physically close to other races, both due to Being Smaller making a small distance be bigger for them in terms of relative space, and due to the fact that a good chunk of their senses are hooked up in absurdly sensitive senses that stretch a very long way and are very hard to obscure compared to senses like sight.

"Polite", with humans, generally looks like… focusing a good chunk of your attention on your conversational partner. Showing that you're Paying Attention, that your primary Thing you're looking at is them. Obviously this is simplifying a lot, human communication is an eldritch horror of Niceties, but a lot of it more or less boils down to "showing you're paying attention to the other guy and their cues".

So: how to do that with this particular set of senses?

Half-foot hearing, at the very least, most likely means that it's going to be next to impossible to go through a conversation without listening to Other Things, whether you like it or not. Likewise, your conversation will not be private. Every other half-foot in the area will hear you (which might also mean that things like keeping track of multiple strands of conversation at the same time might be a more common skill). This also means that Lower Volumes are probably going to be crucial for casual conversation, because absurdly sensitive hearing means that "normal volume" talking is going to be Fucking Loud.

It honestly might be polite to, like… briefly disengage mid-conversation, if only because there's A Lot of input going in here, and you probably want to disengage every now and then to check on Everything Else. It's a very big world and you are a small prey animal that lives in probably fairly close-knit social groups, which has been gifted with the ability to check on people halfway across the house. Might as well pause to check for Other Things.

With Addition Of Whiskers, you've also got a fun, useful tool to "tether" the conversation a bit more. You're already close; might as well use those convenient things with the flexible range of motion for social cues. Probably ramping up the closer you are with someone. Touch whiskers to let them know you're Present And Listening. Have concern easily conveyed through using your useful Check For Things That Are Wrong On This Surface appendages. You just have to be close enough to pull off some light touch with whiskers that sprout very far off of your skin for it - with the unfortunate caveat that that looks like a lot closer for taller races and you are now getting up close to your fellow half-foots and conspiratically whispering while occasionally swivelling an ear over to check on the rest of the room or glance at someone else around.

We'll be damned if we know if we're presenting this Functionally, but: if made a bit more tactile, there's also the bonus of the fact that it might feed back a bit. Humans already need a certain amount of touch to be healthy. and the half-foot threshold might be a bit higher. This can lead to Fun Paths.

We're hunting for a good way to work this, and it's not working very well. More or less,, when you're a species that requires More Touch than the average other species, and you're surrounded by species that don't really Get That, where you're very capable of creating social faux passes or making yourself come off worse by seeking it, you can easily get into Fun Situations. The closer that a given half-foot is to someone, the more tactile that they'll probably want to be, which can cause some Very Fun culture clash.

Our concepts for this are somewhat vague but we think it's fun if all the races have similar points of Clash btw. We have been grouping dwarves, gnomes, and half-foots together in the same general "evolutionary group" which share enough cues to be Compatible while still being Not Quite Close Enough To 100% Get It.

(we have also grouped tallmen, orcs, and ogres into the same group. elves are just kinda off doing their own thing. kobolds are an unrelated convergent evolution in the same way that mermaids are humanoid and probably at least partially sapient but still not Human)

Might be fun if Senshi specifically has hung around the orcs for long enough to get socialized more towards their mannerisms. Weird dwarf who doesn't quite Get social cues that most dwarves pick up on who also just so happens to have more knowledge of the slightly more tallman-leaning group of body language.

We were going somewhere with this but we forgot.

Anyways half-foot affectionate head bonk as a Close Friends And Family Greeting that specifically isn't brought out around other races due to The Issues

Thank you for tuning in to our brief general takeover if we have the brain for it later we will maybe cohere this into a post of some description

BTW we have been basing our elves partially on ungulates this is partially because we think it's very fun to pull on the "mystic" qualities of animals like deer and horses for elves, partially to add our favorite wretched group of herbivores, and partially because we think it's fun if elves are Fucking Weirdos with traits like "weirdly elongated bones in the limbs that actively make fine control more difficult but Look more graceful and delicate to the human eye"

fucked up in there

Quirk Marriage for Earth Flow and Vitality Stealing?

New Quirk Name: Vital Land

This Transformation type Quirk activates whenever is in contact with the earth, shown by a green energy surrounding themselves and their surroundings. The user having contact with the earth enhances their body, shown by their body growing and becoming covered in rocky protrusions. The longer the user stays in contact with the earth, the stronger they become. At their strongest, the user grows over three times their size, becoming capable of smashing through concrete, and tanking heavy attacks. This can even let the user move the earth as an extension of themselves up to a few meters around them, like smashing the ground with their feet to cause a fissure or moving the rocks on their body to increase their power behind an attack. This turns the user into a monster on the battlefield, able to turn the power of the earth towards themselves and against their foes. They can alter the area with their attacks, smash into their enemies, tank attacks for their allies, morph the earth around them to trap people, or just help keep up their stamina. Though the user needs a direct connection with the earth and to stay with it to build up their power. If the user is ever removed from the earth, they will start to lose their power. This can have a negative affect on the landscape around the user as well and draining too much can lose their power as well.

Se Actuality

Se is a function that absorbs objects in realtime (Pe), immersing itself into the subtleties of those objects (S). Se's hyperfocus on objects heightens their intensity and vividness with each processing loop, like how two speakers can create an amplified echo when placed side by side. It seeks objects with many layers of richness and detail to uncover, capable of providing high stimulation, whether those objects are abstract or concrete. If they are abstract objects, Se will immerse itself in those concepts with a linear focus, learning everything from the subject.

Heightened Focus

The Se user will constantly receive a photographic feed from the outer world and thus will have a heightened receptivity to sensory information, which can be both overwhelming when undesired and highly stimulating when accepted and honed. If this data absorption is sought after rather than rejected, the Se user will become so immersed in the 'one thing' in front of them that everything else suddenly disappears. The Se user's attention is cinematic, causing them to take in the world just as it appears with very high fidelity, and this can lead to an appreciation for "realism" in the arts and other mediums. The focus of a Se user is linear rather than divergent. They will want to sink deeply into the experience of a thing rather than spread themselves thin and broadly. Unsolicited tangents can be too distracting for them, jarring their attention and focus away from their present obsession. Even if the Se user has multiple interests- which they inescapably do – whenever they are immersed in a subject, it is with an acute intrigue. This dedicated attention can create hyper-vigilance and the capacity to refine an art form faster than others if they choose to attend to it. However, each skill will be domain-specific and not necessarily translate to acuity in other areas. If they are learning about a handmade craft, they may notice all the bumps, lumps, scratches, and dents in objects and quickly see the subtle differences in colors and shapes. Volumes of non-verbal information will collide with their attention constantly and guide them to calibrate their personal experiences accordingly.

Flow & Improvisation

The most direct way this sensory calibration happens is through an active flow. For the Se user, flow is when the body/mind moves in rhythm with everything else in the environment, as if pulsing with the same energy. During these moments, the Se user exists in direct contact with life, which creates an intoxicating feeling. One gets lost in the moment as they fine-tune their rhythm with the situation, which can happen when singing, playing an instrument, freestyle rapping, hugging turns on a skateboard, locking in trigger reflexes in an FPS, and the like. The Se user will get "in the zone" and feel most in their element when they can perform in realtime, making up their next move. Adaptation is essential to a Se user, and there is nothing more adaptive than reacting instantly, elegantly, and with no delay to every twist and swerve life throws at you. The closer they are to this flow, the more aligned they will feel. Life is most invigorating when they perfectly align the body's needs, desires, and situations. It may feel like a symphony coming together in harmony, and indeed, many Se users take to music production for its capacity to create this lucidity and fluidity. In all their activities and ventures, whenever life is not flowing in this manner, the Se user senses it and will feel out of alignment.

Vitality & Volition

A sense of volition also characterizes Se, as their linearity of focus quickly translates into a clarity of desire. There is an implicit knowledge of what is wanted and, as a Pe function, a craving for its attainment. The Se type will be a go-getter, motivated to gather what it wants in a literal sense. Se will leverage the environment to work for them, being opportunistic and making the best of what they have. Moreover, the quest for this attainment will carry a delicious zeal, giving Se users an added layer of vitality and self-assertion in reality. The Se user occupies where they stand, making their will known by their composure. Then, as they lock onto their target, they inadvertently create adversity as opposite wills always exist and chase after the same or competing resources. This only fuels their thirst for stimulation and arousal as they get immersed in the hunt. The challenge of going after their pursuits will be part of the very flow they so delight in navigating, and this quest for vigor can often manifest in hobbies such as racing, martial arts, and other daring activities. However, while capable of leading to sprints of great productivity, this ambition is not motivated by fiscality or conscientiousness. For Se, the desire to win is not sought for the long-term procurement of resources; instead, it is motivated by some stimulating challenge that reality posits and invigorates them to flirt with.

Movement & Restlessness

Not having dynamic movement happening, however, will feel like an absence of thriving. While Se users are prone to over-stimulation if the stimuli are unwanted, they also are prone to under-stimulation if their environment does not allow an outlet for creative flow. Se will have a low tolerance for being forced to attend to things they dislike. If they are denied the freedom to explore the world actively, suffocation sets in like a depressive weight. The Se user needs to "move" and see to scan the next corner. They will be prone to pack their bags and head off into town on a whim. The Se user lives a mobile life, constantly making things happen as they encounter different situations. However, this necessity for motion can also be a curse, interfering with family plans or the practical constraints of life. As children, Se users may be overly active, and it may be hard for their parents to find a constructive outlet for their energy at all times. The Se user may have little tolerance for routine and get into trouble for misadventures undergone in an attempt to abate the dread of idleness. Family members may pressure them to stay indoors or not go out as much, but often, the Se user will not listen and either sneak out or find a way to explore without permission.

Persistence Effect

At other times, however, life's sensory stimuli are highly unwelcome - making the Se user more keenly aware of disturbance than all others. The Se users' sensitivity to stimuli becomes a double-edged sword when there is a nagging noise in the environment, such as an insect's hum, a squeaky fan, or a crying baby. Temperature differences and potent smells can also be sources of frustration. Their Se will not be able to ignore the aforementioned since, as an explorer function, every new "refresh" of the environment yields the same output - leading to very real and somatic irritation. Ironically, their quality of attuned focus sinks more heavily in on the irritation rather than putting it out of their mind, causing it to grow until it is the only thing they hear or see, debilitating all concentration. At best, this guides the Se user to seek the most pleasant sensory atmosphere available, and at worst, it can cause open complaints and outbursts. Because of this tendency, the Se user will craft their environment whenever possible to match what their sensations can tolerate. They will pay close attention to minimizing potential inconveniences and maximizing comfort.

Ergonomics & Aesthetics

Due to this careful crafting of sensory experience, Se users often take to ergonomics. The look, feel, and appeal of something are critical. How it fits in their hand, how the grip holds, and how it throws, sounds, and moves are all heavily considered. The Se user will want "the experience" of a thing to be enjoyable and free of micro-irritations. They will go to great lengths to make that happen in their own life, selecting objects based on their ergonomic and aesthetic appeal. They may be fans of designer brands, which simply take the most effort to maximize user experience. This leads to an appreciation for luxury as an extension of their need for completeness of sensational exposure. Moreover, although they may not always afford the highest luxury, the Se user will often take steps in that direction whenever possible. More than others, Se users understand how to create something seamless and often pave the way in design and fashion. They will create things with beauty and convenience as priorities while being simplistic and to the point. Moreover, Se perpetually seeks new experiences as an explorer process, leading to very contemporary. Se gravitates to the latest, causing them to be trendy or at least have a keen understanding of where the trends are and how they are evolving.

Sensual Energy

While we all have an appreciation, capacity, and need for the sensual dimension, Se, being the sensory exploration process, receives a double dose of this facet of our nature. No sensation is more direct, potent, and contrasted than the sexual, and from this raw contact with the body, Se receives a level of natural eroticism. The amplification of their senses extends to a type of libidinal awareness and intelligence. However, each individual can choose to explore or repress this tactile energy. Indeed, many Se users - whether by culture or moral verdict - will select to shun this part of themselves. However, for those who decide to explore it, this can add a contagious chemistry to everything they do. The Se user, so predisposed, can be a vixen and leave a seductive trail behind them as they explore and express themselves. They may not shy away from making themselves attractive and showing a little skin or muscle. As Se wishes always to explore all sensory domains to the utmost, this leads to a pointed interest in the subtleties of flirtation, pickup artistry, and more exotic art forms. However, this can cause many Se users to grate against social repercussions and taboos. A girl may be frustrated by her mother's old-fashioned conservatism, or a man may be accused of sexual harassment for playful teasing or banter. Se, like Ne, is constantly crashing against the establishment as it seeks to break boundaries, peer around the corner, and dabble with all available information with less consideration of restraint or temperance.

-Behaviors Under Stress

Addiction

Like most people, the Se user is no stranger to a small quantity of wine or hard liquor. However, due to the acuteness and physicality with which they experience life's stress, the temptation to exhale problems through stimulants or sedatives is all the more pronounced in them than in others. It is here where the Se user may dive into their vice to an excess until it becomes a source of debilitation. More than a few Se users have met a short end at the hands of an overdose. Given their sensitivity, a Se user would require an inordinate strength of will to resist sourcing to a physical outlet when times become roughest. Under stress, they seek immediate alleviation from the unbearable "here and now." Their ability to think long-term may suffer or fade altogether as they become consumed only by how disquieting the present feels. This is especially true if their Ni has made a pessimistic forecast, allowing them little hypothetical escape from their situation. Addiction then acts as a form of escapism and relief, one which is unsustainable at best and fatal at worst. In these moments, the Se user needs to channel from external stimuli. When substances replace external stimuli, the Se user may withdraw from the physical world, forgetting that out there is where all life, vigor, and vitality are to be found. Substances act as a quick but ultimately less stimulating replacement for the bliss better found in the music, rhythm, and flow of dance and direct contact with reality.

Delinquency

In other situations, the Se user's stress can manifest in an unhealthy opportunism. The Se function will always seek, quite advantageously, the best experience possible, and when distressed, this impulsiveness can lead to certain unethical behaviors. As their spiritual reserves become depleted from psychological injuries, they may help themselves to the grace and resources of others, perhaps taking more than may be polite. In heavier cases, they may take more than they were explicitly allotted, which can develop into a habit for the Se user, escalating to shoplifting and eventually to outright robbery. The Se user feels that scarcity of resources is the cause for their sufferings, and attaining more objects is the solution to their deprivation. As with addiction, the Se user feels robbed of sensational release, suffocated by an unpleasant environment, and is seeking somehow to remedy the situation through tactile means. However, poverty or scarcity may not be the cause of their delinquency but instead may be a sort of greed for that which is unattainable. It may be a relative poverty they wish to abate when compared to a higher tier/class that taunts them with the faraway luxuries and experiences they crave.

Optimizing Financial Management with Chiropractic Billing Services

In the healthcare sector, chiropractic care plays a vital role in managing musculoskeletal conditions, improving mobility, and enhancing patients' overall quality of life. However, managing the financial aspects of a chiropractic practice can be challenging due to the unique nature of treatments, frequent patient visits, and varying insurance policies. This is where medical billing services come into play, ensuring that chiropractic practices can focus on providing care while their financial operations run smoothly. These services streamline the billing process, minimize errors, and enhance reimbursement rates, which ultimately leads to better revenue management for chiropractic practices.

What Are Chiropractic Billing Services?

Chiropractic billing services are specialized financial solutions designed to meet the unique needs of chiropractic practices. These services are a critical component of Revenue Cycle Management (RCM) services, which oversee the entire process of patient billing, from claim submission to final payment. Chiropractic billing services handle everything from insurance verification and coding of chiropractic adjustments to following up on claims and managing denials. Since chiropractic care often involves ongoing treatments and multiple patient visits, these billing services ensure that claims are submitted accurately and promptly, reducing delays and maximizing revenue.

The Importance of Medical Billing and Coding in Chiropractic Care

Accurate medical billing and coding is essential for chiropractic practices to ensure that they are compensated for the services they provide. Chiropractic care involves various treatments, such as spinal adjustments, physical therapy, and other therapeutic services, each of which requires precise coding to avoid errors. Incorrect or incomplete coding can lead to claim denials or underpayments, which can negatively affect a practice’s cash flow. By partnering with experienced billing professionals who specialize in medical billing and coding, chiropractic practices can ensure that their claims are submitted correctly and in compliance with industry standards, leading to improved financial outcomes.

Benefits of Healthcare IT in Chiropractic Billing

In the digital age, Healthcare IT has transformed the way billing services are managed, offering numerous benefits for chiropractic practices. Advanced billing software and electronic health record (EHR) systems streamline the billing process by automating tasks such as claim submission, coding, and patient record management. Healthcare IT reduces human error, speeds up payment cycles, and allows for better communication between chiropractic providers and insurance companies. Additionally, real-time tracking and reporting features enable chiropractic practices to monitor the status of claims and payments, ensuring that revenue is managed efficiently. Healthcare IT enhances both the accuracy and efficiency of chiropractic billing, leading to improved practice operations.
