Godhood XIV - Usurper [Honey Edition Turn 3]

{HONEY EDITION #1}

The Mechanical Mantis is the first to arrive, followed by the Blind Newt. Both decide to observe at first, but only the former is polite enough to at least introduce himself.

The act of observation itself becomes far easier [for mortal eyes] when there is a light to see by. To this end, the Three Sisters graciously provide Esmeralda, an intense emerald sun. It illuminates an old acquaintance, and after glad greetings the Eccentric Artist forms a ring of cloud and rock around the star; Esmeralda’s Atrium.

The Eternal Honer appears next, doling out praise and pointing out flaws. He adds hidden treasures to the Atrium.

The Life of the Party makes a loud entrance, which the others attempt to ignore. He and the Spirit of Speech exchange flirtatious remarks and taunts, respectively, culminating in this universe’s first recorded instance of both sexual harassment and divine brawling.

Following an ode to posteriors, the Divinity of Intricacy steps up and creates Seriba, complete with a molten core.

The Cowering Canine, unused to Divinity, cowers by the side of the Lord of the Underground. His more experienced contemporaries attempt to comfort him in their own ways. The Curator of Curiosity approves of the Small One’s actions, and declares an intention to dwell in Seriba, after blessing it with minerals. The Smallest requests a different epithet.

The Mint Blacksmith adds fuel and forgeables to Seriba, and the Subterranean Salamander hides false fossils.

The Opportunity of Unmissable Abs attempts to give the Lupine Minor a drink. This meets with objections from another divinity, but to no effect. The Hound of Tales drinks the offering, and makes introductions and mistakes. A new planet, soon dubbed “Coronis” and given a fiery core, and a gouged Seriba.

The Boozebot runs a river through the Atrium, and the Patient Smith irrigates Seriba as the Hammer of Glass aerates it.

***

The featureless surface of Coronis quickly (by planetary standards, anyway) begins to take on character. Ground cracking and twisting, mountain ranges and volcanoes beginning their violent formations.

During a thunderstorm on Seriba, a lightning bolt happens to strike an exposed copper vein of unusual length and conductivity. The energy surges through the metal, passing deep underground, where the false fossils lie. As with Frankenstein’s monster, when the bolt strikes the dormant bones of a dinosaur-bear, it is brought to a semblance of life! Alas, though it thrashes mightily for a thing with no muscles, it can barely shift the earth around it even a centimeter. Instead of rampaging across the surface of Seriba, an un-natural, un-dying beast that never was, it remains entombed beneath the earth until volcanic activity happens to drop it into the planet’s core, where it is incinerated.

The Energy of New Beginnings provides everyone with five acts.

The Energy of New Beginnings fades slightly.

Cosmic Constructs

Esmeralda: A large sun that radiates intense heat and light. It shines in a lovely shade of green.

Coronis: “Esmeralda’s Crown” A small planetoid in a shaky orbit around Esmeralda. Has an extremely active molten core. Currently the closest planet to the sun. Temperatures range from practically on fire to actually on fire.

Esmeralda’s Atrium: A few humongous, distantly spaced asteroid clusters, suspended in a stable ring of nebulous gas, mist, dust, and dark matter. A thin river connects the asteroids. Each cluster contains common metals as well as large nuggets of valuable, high purity metals near their centers. [Listed: Gold, Platinum, Titanium] The temperatures range from warm to quite hot.

Seriba: An average sized planet with a molten core and a thin atmosphere. It contains an average seeding of both precious and common minerals, readily available veins of copper, and good amounts of fossil fuels. Temperatures range from freezing to temperate. Has impressive geography--A continent of chasms and cliffs and valleys-- the result of Nash-Marr gouging the surface. ⅓ is water/ice. Further from Esmeralda than the Atrium. Has a significantly longer orbital year than standard, but a roughly average seasonal year.

False Fossil Record: Real bones of fake dinosaurbears and dire shelled beasts are hidden beneath the ground. They will cause future paleontologists to believe that the world is older than it truly is.
