ChaRP! Glurpglop Gettin' Married! - July Thursday 22nd @ 12 Noon to 3PM Central

[Diana]

GLURPGLOP GETTIN' MARRIED!
THURSDAY JULY 22nd @ 12 NOON - 3PM CENTRAL TIME​

One of the best aliens you have ever known in your life is getting married! You and a few of Glurpglop's closest companions came together to give Glurpglop one hell of a sending off party at the biggest space casino in the galaxy. Filled with hot dancers, good food, lots of gambling, it was a night none of you will ever forget!

Except now it's morning and Glurpglop is gone?! Everyone swears you all, including Glurpglop made it back to your rooms in one piece. But it's 3 hours until the wedding begins and the groom is no where to be found!

You and the crew must investigate what happened and see if you can find Glurpglop before the wedding. If you don't, there may very well be an intergalactic fiasco, as his waiting space princess bride is a very hot tempered lizard who may very well have you lot killed on the spot.

EVENT INFO

WHO: Everyone is invited! Character Bios/Pics are not required, but totally encouraged! Post 'em if you got 'em.

WHAT: This is a space saga scifi! Play anything that fits! Character Bios are not required, but highly encouraged!

WHEN: JULY 1ST THURSDAY @ 12 NOON CENTRAL TIME. Ending @ 3PM.

WHERE: Join us in the GLURPGLOP'S WEDDING chat room. You'll find the link to our chats in the CHAT tab when it's time to play.

HOW: This is a SOCIAL SETTING WITH IMPROVISATIONAL GAME MASTERING. That means the object of this roleplay is to interact with other characters, and from those interactions I will create a plot and story around you. There may be action moments, where strange events will happen and your characters will have to work together to resolve it. With this ChaRP "lol random" behaviors are discouraged -- what your character says and does will have in game consequences, so choose wisely!

My roleplays are always NEWBIE FRIENDLY so even if you are terrible at roleplay or have never participated in a ChaRP before, this will be easy for you to get involved in. :D Ask questions, let me know when you need help. I often give tips and direction out of character in the main chat room when people need a little direction.

EASY CHARP TIPS!

Try to show up a good 10 to 15 minutes before the ChaRP is to begin. That way you can read up on any important info, and it makes it easier for your GM to know how to start off the ChaRP when there's a head count.

Don't worry if another player is doing something similar to your idea. DO IT ANYWAY! Similarities and things in common happen in real life too. Everyone also plays differently, so two characters who are both "sweet and shy" will still end up being totally unique people. Two assassins could create a fun and interesting conflict!

Talking to other players about their character before the roleplay is a GREAT way to create connections and background for your own!

Post SHORT AND FAST. Charps are very quick pace and contain a LOT of players. Players can't wait 20 minutes for you to write a wall of text, and if there's too much text they won't be able to read it fast enough and will MISS details. If it takes you longer than two minutes to type your post, you are taking too long and might get lost in the action. This is an exercise in quick and concise writing!

Make sure your character name is mentioned in every post, close to the start of it if possible. This is especially helpful when there's many players, so we know who is playing what character.

Like in Real Life, a character may not be able to acknowledge or notice your character immediately because they are engaged in doing something else. (For example a new character walking in to the room, but the other characters arguing about muffins and do not see them.) Don't get discouraged if you go can't get someone to interact with you right away. Just keep posting and doing actions with your character, or even approach others who also seem to be idle and it WILL happen.

Do not take events in the roleplay personally or assume that bad reactions are because they think you/your character sucks. Everyone is playing a character and reacting to things as their character would!

 

[Loveless]

It's that time again folks! Time to drop a completely experimental dream concept that hasn't gotten as much thought as others XD
This is probably going to be a bit of a mess... (Not as much as I thought actually!)

---

Fhlik, the Fiction-Hopper

Energetic, puzzling, unpredictable, and as sudden as a gust of wind, Fhlik is part of an alien race that's incapable of reading tones out of writing, and therefore to draw meaning out of it on eyesight alone. Instead, they create a near-telepathic link with text that allows them to feel the intentions behind the writing, giving them a mental image of what it's being described.

Leaving their people behind, the entity now known as Fhlik would discover the side-effect of such an ability when used against subjective writing such as storybooks. Doing so seemed to concede Fhlik the capacity to 'hop' mentally into the world of the book and even interact with the story to change its events, creating a copy of the text now with the new events in the story, like splitting a timeline. Amazed with the possibilities of such a power, Fhlik then took upon themselves to protect characters from their writers, diving into books to change the fate of well-written, engaging characters that in their opinion had undeserving fates in the narrative, or just went too soon without getting the chance to change their ways.

The new books with the split timelines are then kept on their own personal library, where they keep visiting those characters to see how things went, or when they're just lonely. Their original form is unknown and so is whether they understand the idea of gender like humans do. Fhlik is Fhlik and that's all that matters. They also seem able to change their own colors on a whim, given that their hair and eyes are never the same from the last meeting. Fiction-hopping has a huge number of unspoken rules to it, including the fact that irreversibly destroying the goal of a story with their actions may both erase the book and themselves with it.

Other than books, Fhlik's only other possession is an object referred to as a Quantum Cube. It is, unlike its name, at first seemingly a piece of folded metal, the size of a shirt's chest pocket, not unlike aluminum. If the user tries to unfold it, however, they're quickly going to realize that the sheet can be continuously unfolded over and over again attaining immense sizes and then being capable of being re-folded, this time into a new shape like a metallic origami of sorts. Fhlik uses the Quantum Cube to create whichever they may desire with it, taking only a dash of creativity and rapidly folding skills; There are, however, some drawbacks such as it needing extra parts to function as the target object.
For example, while the Quantum Cube may be folded into a laser gun-like shape or even a spaceship, without a battery or a motor to grant it energy to function, it will not shoot nor take flight, being no more than a fancily-shaped blunt weapon. The more complex the object desired the more parts one will need to attach to it. Breaking or cutting the Quantum Cube in any way that it has now detached parts will make it unusable rather than provide both halves with the ability to unfold infinitely. The material can only hold its space warping properties for as long as it is whole.

This is todaaaaaay!

 

[Zarko Straadi]

Name: Aure
Species: Void Walker
Gender: Ummm....?
Age: ???
Pronouns: They/their/theirs/we/ours
Personality: Always cryptic, sometimes mischievous, Aure travels through space without need of a vessel. Aure has shown a considerable degree of curiosity about Planetaries (planet-born life). It is uncommon for a Void Walker to enter structures such as vessels, stations, or planet-bound buildings, but Aure seems to have developed a fondness for the practice.

Void Walkers: Void Walkers are mysterious beings that live in open space. They do not seek to control territory, nor do they respect (or even necessarily understand) territorial claims made by other species. They gather the resources they need from uninhabited regions, such as Oort clouds, Kuiper belts, and the coronas of stars.

Though they are usually encountered as individuals, Void Walkers are believed to be able to temporarily or permanently merge or fission, as well as inherit or share memories and elements of personality. Because of this, conventional understandings of age and gender do not apply to them.

Void Walker language is complex and multi-layred. Many of their concepts do not translate very well into common languages, and vice versa.

They do not seem to have any comprehensible political organization. They spontaneously converge to accomplish collective tasks, almost like flocking creatures, then diverge to go their own way either as individuals or groups. Void Walkers do not employ money or acquire possessions, but they do seem to have a form of trade in experiences, performances (analogous to songs, poetry, stories, and the like), and knowledge.

  It's Glurpglop's WEDDING DAY! What a wonderful, exciting event, that couldn't happen to a better person! Hosting at the Checkered Tail Casino on planet Ypzyp, no expense was spared to have a glorious and beautiful joining between Glurpglop and his gorgeous lizard bride Princess Ssrzurpia. Mostly because she has been a violent Bridezilla and when anything went wrong she chucked offenders into a barrel of nails and then rolled them down the street. ... so of course when the Wedding Planner came to make sure Glurpglop was awake for dressing only to find him MISSING a panic ensued! Where is Glurpglop?!
  
  
  Today at 10:54 AM
• 
  Diana:
  Buck Bonaru, one of the gentleman in the wedding party, stepped out of his room "buck" naked looking fit as a fiddle despite the fact he drank enough booze last night to take out a three nosed Norslac. "Well I ain't seen the stupid git! Last I saw him, we were hauling him to his room and tossin' him in bed! Look under the damn maybe?" he was telling the frantic wedding planner.
  
  
  Today at 11:00 AM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  Aure had not taken a room, as it was far more pleasant to drift under the open night sky than remain contained within the tiny recesses Planetaries called 'rooms.' As they glided down the corridor (spacious by mammalian standards, but quite tiny to one accustomed to endless light-years of openness all around) to rejoin Glurpglop and the others. As they approached, their small, flying translator-creature began to relay apparent agitation from a pair of Planetaries...
  
  
  Today at 11:03 AM
• 
  Loveless:
  Fhlik took a glance around the room seemingly not as worried as the weeding planner, but similarly concerned with a confused silence. That was a really good question, where did Glurpglop go? They were sure to be following the groom with their eyes, by the beverage bar, the 5D roulette... Really, they had even been the last person to leave the hallway after everyone else had been allegedly left to their own quarters! And they had stayed standing in there for several minutes before stepping inside. So how?? And why? And who? Who was a very important question, this could be a conspiracy!! "Wouldn't it be funny if he was under the bed waiting to jump us all~?!", the Fiction-Hopper mused, they weren't as indecent as Buck over there, but Fhlik did take a moment to fiddle with the tie to put it back in place. Perhaps they too had dressed in a hurry. "Haven't heard anything out of the ordinary", they shrugged.
  
  
  Today at 11:05 AM
• 
  Diana:
  The Wedding Planner was in an absolute state of agony. They were well-paid for sure, but tons of money couldn't make up for an angry space princess on her wedding day if something happened to the groom. "Oh no! Oh no! Please find him and make sure he gets to the groom's dressing room as soon as possible! I will make sure everything runs as smoothly as it can! Maybe it will all work out!"
  
  
  Today at 11:09 AM
• 
  Diana:
  Buck Bonaru just stood in the hall, his jinglejangle a dangling every time he spoke or moved. He scratched his head and pondered out loud. "I s'pose we should look... but if we don't find him, I'd be happy enough to step in and marry a princess myself!"
  
  
  Today at 11:11 AM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  Flashes of multicolored light flickered through Aure's translucent form, creating complex three-dimensional interference patterns. An eerie voice with tones like a glass bell came from the translator-creature: "Your tranquility seems displaced? What gravitates this?"
  
  
  Today at 11:12 AM
• 
  Mglo:
  Yussa strolled in biting into a bulbous fruit. His hair was a fluffy mess around his horns thanks to the luxurious pillows though he'd only used them a couple hours by the feel of his tired eyes. His skin felt so dry the scales were visible in parts of his torso. He looked from Buck's jinglejangle to Aure's flickering light as the pieces of the puzzle clicked into place. "Glurpglop? Shit time to go a'hiding nah?"
  
  
  Today at 11:14 AM
• 
  Loveless:
  Rolling their eyes at the frantic state of the planner, Fhlik proceeded to push them outside of the room, reassuring with a dismissive tone, "Sure, sure, you go do that and we'll make a searching party or som-", and then they stopped half-way. Actually yeah, the rainbow rave creature had a good point, "Pal, you couldn't even get dressed this morning, what makes you think the bridezilla would settle for you?", it was a jab, but they seemed legitimately curious as they raised an eyebrow.
  
  
  Today at 11:15 AM
• 
  Diana:
  Buck Bonaru heaved a shrug, not looking at all offended at everyone's suspicion. "Who doesn't try to run out on their wedding day? I been to a dozen wedding, always one o them gettin' a tizzy and trying to escape! I'm just happy to step and catch myself a sweet rich princess. Besides, who wouldn't wan a bit o this?" The "this" was his jinglejangle he flipped in the direction of Fhlik with a hearty laugh.
  
  
  Today at 11:19 AM
• 
  Loveless:
  "...I think I can think of several examples right about now.", Fhlik responded with a deadpan, not actually that bothered. Daaamn, at least that guy was very confident about himself, good for him!!
  
  
  Today at 11:21 AM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  More shimmers of color. "Glurpglop drifts from Sszurpia-convergence?" Buck's words did not seem to make sense. "If Planetaries always flee 'wedding'-convergence, then expected, yes? Ritual?"
  
  
  Today at 11:25 AM
• 
  Mglo:
  Yussa appraised Bonaru's jinglejangle one more time and gravely nodded his agreement. "Whatever the case, Glurpglop still gotta be found nah?" he said casually taking another bite of this fruit. He chose to ignore Fhlik's comment about the getting dressed, as he wasn't wearing a shirt himself. But at least his jinglejangle was well wrapped! "Where do all these grooms tend to a'run to in your experience Bonaru?"
  
  
  Today at 11:25 AM
• 
  Loveless:
  Fhlik at last finishes pushing the weeding planner outside, seeing as that one had other things to do. "I wouldn't say ritual, it's more like, sometimes big changes make people nervous, you know? So they hesitate." They weren't sure of where else Glurpglop could have gone to though, this was already a casino! What else could a groom want?? ...Uh-oh. Perhaps, don't finish that thought line...
  
  
  Today at 11:31 AM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  Aure made note of Buck's tendril, but offered no response. It seemed rather short and poorly placed to be of much use, and it wasn't even prehensile. They were careful to avoid directing attention to their own, which were much more abundant, and capable.
  
  • 
  Reactions: View
  
  Today at 11:31 AM

  Diana:
  Buck Bonaru rubbed his chin and gave a great consideration to this question. "Well, I imagine after we dropped him off, he musta sat in that room for a time havin' a think about married life with only one fuck for the rest of his life. If I were him, I'd have high-tailed it over to the casino brothels and stuck my jangle in everything I could afford."
  
  
  Today at 11:32 AM
• 
  Loveless:
  ...And so the thought line had been completed on its own. Of course. "Classy.", was Fhlik's only response to that.
  
  
  Today at 11:34 AM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "You model what you would do," Aure's translated voice said. "Probability of Glurpglop doing likewise? If your species mates only once after wedding-convergence, does that also follow for Glurpglop's?"
  
  
  Today at 11:37 AM
• 
  Loveless:
  "80%?", Fhlik replied, thinking back on how all the party-goers acted last night, including the missing glop, "Okaaay- Make that 85, actually...", yeeeah no, too many drinks-, "That's our only lead, so I think it's worth checking it out! ...How did he leave though?", the Fiction-Hopper wondered approaching the room's window, "Through here, perhaps~?"
  
  
  Today at 11:42 AM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "Does anyone object to GlurpglorpSsrzurpia-convergence?" Aure asked. They floated around his cell seeking any potential evidence that he had been removed involuntarily,
  
  
  Today at 11:46 AM
• 
  Loveless:
  Aha! Fhlik internally rejoiced, someone had done the question! It was always better when someone else did it~! "I was suspecting the jangle guy, but now I think he's just dumb and lazy."
  
  
  Today at 11:54 AM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "Curious," Aure replied. "Please define 'lazy.'"
  
  
  Today at 12:01 PM
• 
  Loveless:
  "Hmmm... Someone that's just waiting for good things to happen without putting an effort to it?", dictionary definitions weren't Fhlik's forté... "As in, if he can not do anything and let other people handle everything, he certainly would!"
  
  
  Today at 12:04 PM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "Then you would model him as by-inertia-waiting for Glurpglop to flee from his convergence rather than exerting-with-determination the effort to remove Glurpglop from convergence involuntarily?" Aure said.
  
  
  Today at 12:11 PM
• 
  Loveless:
  "E-xactly~!", Fhlik chimed almost in a sing-a-song, "He'd just take advantage of it happening, rather than plot anything beforehand.", the Fiction-Hopper nodded to themselves with certainty and confidence in their logic, "Like a scavenger rather than a hunter, you know?"
  
  
  Today at 12:13 PM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  Aure contemplated Fhlik's words for a moment. "If Glurpglop flees from Ssrzurpia-convergence, and Buck seeks it, and SsrzurpiaBuck find convergence harmonious, then we have no trouble, yes?" they asked. "Then only ambiguity is did Glurpglop leave on a chosen trajectory, or on one overwhelmingly-gravitated, yes?"
  
  
  Today at 12:22 PM
• 
  Loveless:
  "In theory, yes! That'd work, but...", of course logic was good, but Fhlik knew it was nothing when applied to the intensity of emotions, "The hardest part is getting Ssrzurpia to even agree with that idea. And since she sounds, like the perfectionist type, chances are slim.", very slim, like probably almost impossible, "Indeed, the logic is quite sound and now makes me wonder what the nature of this 'convergence' even is, in the first place. Political? Emotional? Something else? What's at stake here?"
  
  
  Today at 12:29 PM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "Request for forgiveness," Aure said, "your concept 'political' does not translate. Please explain?"
  
  
  Today at 12:33 PM
• 
  Loveless:
  "Oh, that's no problem!", Fhlik reassured the Void Waler with a smile, "Lets see... In other species, those 'convergences' may be done like contracts rather than over mating or the attraction of two creatures for another. Sometimes they mark the convergence of empires too or peace treaties. Convergences like this are very important when they represent bigger uhhh, resolutions! Resolutions between people, species and so on. Things of that scale are what one would refer to as 'political', the interaction of races throughout the universe can be a very vast and complex thing...", they spoke with such a fondness for it, for all the shapes and systems and ideas, it was very inspiring to listen to, "So, uhh, does that help or are there more concepts you'd like clarification on?"
• 
  
• ****CHARP PAUSED DUE TO WEBSITE MALFUNCTION. THE REMAINDER WILL BE RESCHEDULED WHEN POSSIBLE.

There appears to have been a website malfunction sometime after 11:31 "logs time," about 1 1/2 hours into the CHARP, which locked out some of the players. Loveless and I agreed to pause the CHARP so that the remaining time could be rescheduled to allow the other players to join.

 

[Diana]

This charp has been rescheduled for continuation on the 22nd due to the EVIL SERVER kicking out half the population for no good reason. O:<

 

[Diana]

The continuation of this is todaaaaaay!

  More shimmers of color. "Glurpglop drifts from Sszurpia-convergence?" Buck's words did not seem to make sense. "If Planetaries always flee 'wedding'-convergence, then expected, yes? Ritual?"

  Mglo:
  Yussa appraised Bonaru's jinglejangle one more time and gravely nodded his agreement. "Whatever the case, Glurpglop still gotta be found nah?" he said casually taking another bite of this fruit. He chose to ignore Fhlik's comment about the getting dressed, as he wasn't wearing a shirt himself. But at least his jinglejangle was well wrapped! "Where do all these grooms tend to a'run to in your experience Bonaru?"
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Loveless:
  Fhlik at last finishes pushing the weeding planner outside, seeing as that one had other things to do. "I wouldn't say ritual, it's more like, sometimes big changes make people nervous, you know? So they hesitate." They weren't sure of where else Glurpglop could have gone to though, this was already a casino! What else could a groom want?? ...Uh-oh. Perhaps, don't finish that thought line...

  Zarko Straadi:
  Aure made note of Buck's tendril, but offered no response. It seemed rather short and poorly placed to be of much use, and it wasn't even prehensile. They were careful to avoid directing attention to their own, which were much more abundant, and capable.

  Buck Bonaru rubbed his chin and gave a great consideration to this question. "Well, I imagine after we dropped him off, he musta sat in that room for a time havin' a think about married life with only one fuck for the rest of his life. If I were him, I'd have high-tailed it over to the casino brothels and stuck my jangle in everything I could afford."
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Loveless:
  ...And so the thought line had been completed on its own. Of course. "Classy.", was Fhlik's only response to that.
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "You model what you would do," Aure's translated voice said. "Probability of Glurpglop doing likewise? If your species mates only once after wedding-convergence, does that also follow for Glurpglop's?"
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Loveless:
  "80%?", Fhlik replied, thinking back on how all the party-goers acted last night, including the missing glop, "Okaaay- Make that 85, actually...", yeeeah no, too many drinks-, "That's our only lead, so I think it's worth checking it out! ...How did he leave though?", the Fiction-Hopper wondered approaching the room's window, "Through here, perhaps~?"
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "Does anyone object to GlurpglorpSsrzurpia-convergence?" Aure asked. They floated around his cell seeking any potential evidence that he had been removed involuntarily,
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Loveless:
  Aha! Fhlik internally rejoiced, someone had done the question! It was always better when someone else did it~! "I was suspecting the jangle guy, but now I think he's just dumb and lazy."
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "Curious," Aure replied. "Please define 'lazy.'"
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Loveless:
  "Hmmm... Someone that's just waiting for good things to happen without putting an effort to it?", dictionary definitions weren't Fhlik's forté... "As in, if he can not do anything and let other people handle everything, he certainly would!"
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "Then you would model him as by-inertia-waiting for Glurpglop to flee from his convergence rather than exerting-with-determination the effort to remove Glurpglop from convergence involuntarily?" Aure said.
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Loveless:
  "E-xactly~!", Fhlik chimed almost in a sing-a-song, "He'd just take advantage of it happening, rather than plot anything beforehand.", the Fiction-Hopper nodded to themselves with certainty and confidence in their logic, "Like a scavenger rather than a hunter, you know?"
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  Aure contemplated Fhlik's words for a moment. "If Glurpglop flees from Ssrzurpia-convergence, and Buck seeks it, and SsrzurpiaBuck find convergence harmonious, then we have no trouble, yes?" they asked. "Then only ambiguity is did Glurpglop leave on a chosen trajectory, or on one overwhelmingly-gravitated, yes?"
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Loveless:
  "In theory, yes! That'd work, but...", of course logic was good, but Fhlik knew it was nothing when applied to the intensity of emotions, "The hardest part is getting Ssrzurpia to even agree with that idea. And since she sounds, like the perfectionist type, chances are slim.", very slim, like probably almost impossible, "Indeed, the logic is quite sound and now makes me wonder what the nature of this 'convergence' even is, in the first place. Political? Emotional? Something else? What's at stake here?"
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "Request for forgiveness," Aure said, "your concept 'political' does not translate. Please explain?"
  
  
  Jul 1, 2021

• 
  Loveless:
  "Oh, that's no problem!", Fhlik reassured the Void Waler with a smile, "Lets see... In other species, those 'convergences' may be done like contracts rather than over mating or the attraction of two creatures for another. Sometimes they mark the convergence of empires too or peace treaties. Convergences like this are very important when they represent bigger uhhh, resolutions! Resolutions between people, species and so on. Things of that scale are what one would refer to as 'political', the interaction of races throughout the universe can be a very vast and complex thing...", they spoke with such a fondness for it, for all the shapes and systems and ideas, it was very inspiring to listen to, "So, uhh, does that help or are there more concepts you'd like clarification on?"

  Diana:
  ~~~ WELCOME BACK TO GLURPGLOP'S GETTIN' MARRIED! ~~~
  
  
  Today at 9:55 AM

• 
  Diana:
  When we last left our rag tag band of groomsmen, Aure and Fhlik were examining Glurpglop's room, while Yussa and Buck are in varied states of undress and confusion in the hall.
  
  
  Today at 9:57 AM

• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  Aure contemplated Fhlik's response. Most of the key terms and phrases did not have corresponding patterns of meaning in the Void Walker language, so it mostly came across as jibberish. More shimmering colors and diffraction patterns flickered through their translucent form. "Can you estimate posterior probabilities of to-consciousness-harm or harm-to-body for Glurpglop and-or others?" they asked.
  
  
  Today at 10:52 AM
• 
  Diana:
  Buck peeked in from the doorway. By now he'd finally put on his clothes (well, the bride-approved groomsmen tuxedo that Buck look highly uncomfortable in), and actually looked a tiny bit concerned as he glanced about Glurpglop's suite. "As much as I like educatin' other species on the many intricacies of livin', we ought to focus on the problem at hand.... For one, this damn room is spotless. I don't think our man stayed here for long we he got back. Don't look like he spent the night here at all."
  
  
  Today at 10:55 AM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "Does Glurpglop have a traveling-shell? A 'ship' as you call it?" Aure asked.
  
  
  Today at 10:59 AM
• 
  Diana:
  "Thinkin' he jetted right off the whole planet, eh? I guess we can check off the big boxes first to narrow it all down," considered Buck with a scratch of his scruffy chin. "Though I still think someone should check out the brothels too while we're at it. I'm bettin' there's a good chunk of the wedding party passed out on some nekkid lap."
  
  
  Today at 11:06 AM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "Accession. Instantiating shortest-path navigation to nearest brothel," Aure said, then floated off. Reaching their destination, they coasted to a relative halt in front of the receptionist's desk. "Life-health-abundance for you," they said. "We search for lost Glurpglop." As they said this, they changed the coloring and texture of their torso integument to create an image of everyone's favorite missing alien.
  
  
  Today at 11:14 AM
• 
  Mglo:
  Yussa too had changed into the bride-approved groomsmen tuxedo, moisturized his scaly skin, and combed his hair. He leaned on the doorframe while filing his pointy nails. Now he looked fabulous again, he was all for the search taking them to the brothels though a headache reminded him of the previous night and suddenly he wasn't so keen anymore. Nevertheless, he followed the crew.
  
  
  Today at 11:18 AM
• 
  Diana:
  "Full name please," said the very bored looking tentacled woman at the receptionist's desk of the brothel. When Buck gurgled out Glurpglop's name with surprising accent accuracy, she looked over her logs. "Sorry, he doesn't seem to be here in the brothel. Some of the wedding party did get picked up by security last night, though. Something about gambling all their credits away and refusing to pay for services..."
  
  
  Today at 11:21 AM
• 
  Loveless:
  Before the fiction-hopper could even begin to answer Aure's request for probability, Buck, who for once was not completely naked proceeded to get their conversation back on topic. Right, so seemingly spotless room and absolutely no rope tied to the window... Had Fhlik literally missed the escape the previous night by a margin of a mere couple of minutes? "We were waiting on you to stop jingle-jangling and guide us to the place-", oooor forget that because the Void Walker had a map system! "Or that! Wow, that is so efficient, maybe I should get one for myself too~!!" It was mostly a joke, though the practicality was still quite admirable! Aaaaand the bad news just kept coming- "Oh great, now we have to deal with the cops oooor loan sharks, probably loan sharks; I hope they're not expecting us to pay their bill instead but, I know better..."
  
  
  Today at 11:28 AM
• 
  Mglo:
  "Do ya think Glupglop very devout to his faith? If not a brothel mebbe he ah went the opposite nah?" Yussa tapped his nail to the desk in thought. Having absolutely no idea where an unpredictable like Glurpglop would go, especially with a bride-to-be such as his at his tail, he was really stretching. Yussa avoided the cop talk all together, that was not something he wanted to uh approach anytime soon... again.
  
  
  Today at 11:30 AM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  Aure did not know whether or not they should be concerned about, or attempt to intervene in, the circumstances of the others the tentacled woman made mention of. The 'wedding party' seemed, to a degree at least, to be treated as a convergent Whole, but its members Synced on only the lowest of levels, if that much. "Aquatic predators seem to present minimal threat," they said to the Fiction-Hopper, then rotated back to face the receptionist. "Has Glurpglop's trajectory passed within metaphorical-gravwell of this place?" they asked.
  
  
  Today at 11:33 AM
• 
  Diana:
  "There has been no sighting of Glurpglop here," boredly responded the brothel receptionist. And since no one was going to help pay off any debts either, she wasn't too interested in their search.
  
  
  Today at 11:35 AM
• 
  Diana:
  "As long as Glurpglop himself ain't in there, fuck 'em!" exclaimed Buck. He gave some consideration to the religious angle, but shook his head. "Naw, that buglizard hasn't stepped foot in his own church for ages. We best go make sure his ship is still in port at the very least. Then we'll know for sure he didn't leave the planet -- at least not by choice. He'd never leave his ship behind." Buck beckoned for the others to follow him off towards the shipping docks!
  
  
  Today at 11:35 AM
• 
  Loveless:
  Fhlik took a while to understand what Aure was talking about, or rather, where it had come from. "Oh! They're not literal sharks, just as vicious and bloodthirsty as them, metaphorically speaking. ...Sometimes not as metaphorical, uuhh- They might do harm to our bodies when angry..." While Buck's take was rather harsh, the fiction-hopper had to agree with the sentiment. They were here to look for a specific individual, not play savior to a lot of not so great people. 'Fuck 'em' indeed, let them deal with their own mess and lack of foresight. Hopefully, no one was going to die over this, but can't make an omelette without breaking some eggs! Or something like that, omelettes sounded like something delicious. "So what is the verdict?", they asked, obviously having no idea which ship was the one they should be looking for.
  
  
  Today at 11:45 AM
• 
  Mglo:
  "Glurpglop's uh baby is easy to spot neh? You can see the love from afar," Yussa chuckled. How the bride hadn't been jealous of it, Yussa didn't know. Maybe the bride hadn't even seen it yet or maybe it had been a place of uh joy fro the both of them in there. Maybe it was best not to know.
  
  
  Today at 11:49 AM

  Zarko Straadi:
  "You are very generous to offer brothel copulation-services for by-'security'-raised-against-gravity wedding-party members," Aure said. "Generalized operating principle of 'brothel' is copulation-services only provided in exchange for bio-survival tickets, yes?" they said, floating alongside him. Planetaries were wonderfully strange. Very little that they did seemed to make any sense at all, but they were fascinating to watch and interact with all the same.
  
  
  Today at 11:51 AM
• 
  Diana:
  "I feel like I understood Aure better last night when I was drunk off my ass," complained Buck. He didn't focus on that for long though, he made a gesturing sound and pointed off down the shipyard towards a very sleek looking silver spacecraft. "Eh! Looks like his ship is there. Maybe he spent the night in there - one last night as a free man before whatever shit he's gonna have to do as a space prince married to a lizard princess."
  
  
  Today at 11:54 AM
• 
  Loveless:
  There was no hesitation as Fhlik cut in front of the group and knocked loudly against the surface of the spaceship, in a calculated spot that'd make it echo through the entire thing with a metallic resounding 'bang', "Heeeey wake up!! You gotta get married and if you're there you better answer before I decide to make a dent on this thing!"
  
  
  Today at 11:59 AM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "We experience that as for-us unfortunate, for we understood you less," Aure replied. "Otherwise, mutual comprehension could be enhanced by restoring you to off-your-ass drunken state of consciousness."
  
  
  Today at 12:01 PM
• 
  Diana:
  Suspicious sounds came from inside the space craft, but it wasn't the friendly face of Glurpglop to appear when the ship's hatch door opened, It was a group of five very huge, very surly looking aliens with very big guns, now all pointed at the groomsmen. "KSH LKAOU, KAJEYFCOB AKKAHA THBTTS." The leader shouted. It translated roughly to where is the slime oozing eyeball slurping shit stain.
  
  
  Today at 12:05 PM
• 
  Loveless:
  "Good question~! We're also looking for him.", Fhlik answered in a heartbeat, or uh, did they have a heartbeat? Would have to check that later- "How about we combine information, huh? You say what you know, we say what we know and maybe we'll find him a lot faster."
  
  
  Today at 12:10 PM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "Please, be at peace," Aure said. "None of us has produced such a combination of bodily fluids. High-likelihood unpleasant and unhealthy to producer, and non-trivial possibility of transmission of microbial parasitism."
  
  
  Today at 12:10 PM
• 
  Mglo:
  Yussa stepped behind Aure while both he and Fhlik handled the situation. "What the heck has our friend gotten himself involved in nah?," he whispered to Buck.
  
  
  Today at 12:12 PM
• 
  Loveless:
  The fiction-hopper gave Aure a glance, casually explaining things as if they didn't have guns pointed to them right now, "They're being metaphorical, that's uh, name-calling. Of the worst kind possible."
  
  
  Today at 12:12 PM
• 
  Diana:
  "Whoa, whoa, ease off on the guns now, we don't know where he's at-" Buck said in holding up his hands. Yussa seemed to be the only one to understand this wasn't the "ask nicely" crowed, so Buck whispered to him. "Best get ready to run, this bout to get ugly."
  
  
  Today at 12:15 PM
• 
  Diana:
  "JAHYI JDORUA OPPAJFGE LLAAHBYT," announced the leader. It meant something like lying garbage glitter guts. Almost immediately the crew poured out of the ship and opened fire at the confused groomsmen. "HJKAPIE KKAHGU AJWPEUU IAHAKP ADHOAOIAH, OFIAYAAKD--" Something, something, send a message, something BIG BONER sends his regards--. It seemed not everyone in the galaxy had a good opinion of Glurpglop. This was a team of mercenaries out to assassinate their friend!
  
  
  Today at 12:18 PM
• 
  Loveless:
  "Oki! That was a lot more guns than I expected to see!!", Fhlik shouted while hopping behind a crate for cover, their hands now working fast as a piece of metal now out of their pocket was folded and unfolded with amazing speed and skill. And even so, the tone wasn't scared, it was more of a matter the factly, perhaps even thrilled one. They were enjoying the adventure!
  
  
  Today at 12:22 PM
• 
  Mglo:
  Yussa *had* been ready to run and so he was fast to act. Something still nicked him on the arm but he didn't stop to check until he had jumped into a maintenance pit. When the fire ceased, he stuck his head out of the pit enough to get a visual, "Aure? Buck?" he called since he'd only heard Fhlik's voice before.
  
  
  Today at 12:29 PM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  There was a loud CRACK! as Aure activated their particle shield. They normally only used it in space, to protect themself from micrometeor impacts and high-energy cosmic rays. "Assessing 57 percent prior probability of hostile int--" Luckily it also shrugged off the first few hits from the mercenaries' weapons. "Hypothesis confirmed. Please cease weapon use before toward-you-damaging countermeasures must be employed." The others seemed un-damaged, so Aure rapidly lifted to the hangar's ceiling so that missed shots would not hit their friends or any other floor-walking Planetaries (as that mode of being seemed to be the most common adaptation to life in a gravwell) and began making swift evasive jukes.
  
  
  Today at 12:34 PM
• 
  Diana:
  "Gon have to take 'em out!" shouted Buck from his hiding spot under a dumpster cart. "Shit heads gonna ruin the wedding if they catch up with Glurp!" Course, as Buck fumbled around in his dumb bride-approved tux he realized he didn't have any of his usual weapons on him and cursed under his breath. "Hope one o' y'all got some ideas~!!"
  
  
  Today at 12:37 PM
• 
  Loveless:
  "I have a rather big one!", Fhlik announced as they called attention to their... Huge metallic shield attempt? Look, it was folded in a hurry okay? No one can do a good job while under an emergency! "Buck! Other guy that I have no idea what is called! Come on over, I need help to hold this thing in place, also it makes for a hella good cover~!"
  
  
  Today at 12:41 PM
• 
  Mglo:
  Turned out the knick had been a rip to his tuxedo sleeve, and now his pant leg was smeared with oil too. Great, he thought, as he grabbed a wrench and hauled ass out of the pit, threw the wrench with all his might at the guys with guns and then slid behind the huge metallic thing. "The bride's gonna kill me neh?," he gasped.
  
  
  Today at 12:48 PM
• 
  Diana:
  "Quit screwin' around and enact a plan already, ya gnome!" was Buck's reply to Fhlik. he did, however, scamper closer in case the big plan involved a spray of something painful.
  
  
  Today at 12:50 PM
• 
  Diana:
  PEW PEW PEW PEW PEW in every direction! Lasers and bullets! This group of mercenaries took "Kill Glurpglop" to also mean "all of glurpglop's friends".
  
  
  Today at 12:51 PM
• 
  Loveless:
  While still unfolding the tips out, into a more half-moon like shape, Fhlik could only laugh in amusement at being called a gnome, something about it was just so funny!! "Oh Buck, you crack me up sometimes... This IS THE PLAN~!!", oh yeah, they did not seem to be joking as they pointed at a folded in handle piece and grabbed at it, seemingly expecting the other two to do the same, "You guys can walk backwards, right~?", they teased before letting out a long 'wooooo! Let's go!' of excitement and indeed, starting to walk backwards as fast as possible! The bullets ricocheted from the Quantum Cube with 'ka-pling' like noises and the lasers could do jackshit against a reflecting surface, it was a flawless plan!!
  
  
  Today at 12:57 PM
• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  "Your actions present a non-trivial danger to our friends' bio-survival," Aure said. "We must weigh their safety preferentially over yours," they said to the mercenaries. They began raising power output to levels comparable to those of a small spaceship, which they, in essence, were. They began lashing out in whiplike slashes of their larger tendrils, unleashing neutron cutting beams that flickered pale white in the Casino's atmosphere, striking at the mercenaries' guns.
  
  
  Today at 1:00 PM
• 
  Diana:
  PEW ZOOM PEW PEW PING! In the fray and escape, Yussa wasn't the only one to take a hit! Buck got a bullet to the ass and those lasers pierced right through Fhlik's shield and set a piece of Fhlik's clothing on fire?! Aure at least seemed to have things mildly in hand, as their beams ultra-heated some of the weapons to explosive back-firing results. ...Glurpglop's ship exploded sending shrapnel and flying mercenaries everywhere. Chaos erupted in the shipyard!

• 
  Loveless:
  Shockingly, Fhlik still seemed unphased as they pat the patch of fire down, suffocating it with their own hands since no oxygen meant no fire! Yeah, it burned, but nothing that they hadn't been through before. "Huh, people don't make lasers the same way as before...", they grumbled with displeasure before noticing what Aure was about to do, and how it might end, "Oooh forget the bullet damage, WE'VE GOTTA MOVE FASTER THAN THIIIIIS~!!!!!", and moving faster they tried, attempting to get their little group as far from the blast radius as possible.

  Diana:
  "FUCK SHIT'N ASS," yelped Buck, now sporting a bullet to the buns and bleeding all over the place. That didn't stop him from running with the rest though! Luck would have it, there was a straight shot down one of the ships back towards the Casino.

  "GERONIMOOOOOO~!", yes they jumped, and pulled the other two with them. Yes, there was definitely more expressions of thrill and excitement on the way down!

• 
  Zarko Straadi:
  Aure's particle shield easily shrugged off the bullets, as their kinetic energy was trivial compared to even a small dust particle at relative velocities measured in thousands of kilometers per second. The lasers, on the other hand, passed through the shield almost unhindered, except for minor dampening effects from ionized air crackling at the shield's edge. Aure's translucent nature scattered the laser light and reduced their damage to irritating to somewhat painful. But then they detected the energy-spike from Glurpglop's ship. By reflex, they extended their particle shield so that it would be interposed between the blast wave and radiation surge, and their friends. The shield absorbed most of the force, but the impact sent Aure rolling and clattering across the floor. Hearing Fhlik's suggestion, they gathered their energy and resolve, lifted from the floor, then swooped over to grab the others, accelerating down the chute toward the casino.

  Diana:
  As they stumbled out and away from the hatch and into the casino, there he was! Gluropglop! The bestest friend and alien in the galaxy! In his hand was a strange plastic cup with a long twisty straw and an umbrella. He looked perfectly fine and surprised to see them all in such a state. "Friends! Glurpglop found the most majestic drinks while seeking a whiz station! But what has happened to fancy dress for wedding? Glurpglop's princess will not be pleased. Not be pleased at all."

  "You-each...appear damaged?" Aure said. It seemed that the others had been hit, though they couldn't assess the extent of their injuries. Planetaries seem quite fragile. We perceive that we have severely underestimated this. They need traveling-shells to move in space. Have we behaved as a poor friend? they thought. Then--there he was, the object of their search! "Glurpglop, we model you as in anti-synergetic relationship to words of eyeball-slime-spreading hostile Planetaries. We must access bio-repair facilities for Planetary friends immediately."

  Fhlik was too busy whacking the groom in the forehead with the Quantum Cube. Not- In a club shape but basically folded into a metallic ruler, resulting in the same amount of impact as getting hit with a rolled newspaper. And was it, they didn't explain why he was getting hit either as the fiction-hopper sighed with a small frown before laughing to themselves as they walked off and back to the rest of the group, rolling their eyes at Buck's dedication with the weeding. Or maybe the bride was just that scary, they couldn't tell. "Then let's please move along before one of us bleeds to death over... a beverage."

  Aure wrapped tendrils around Buck's limbs and torso and carried him. Buck's words seemed to belie the hypothesis that he was in serious danger; also, why did fragile Planetaries engage in wedding-convergences if they were so likely to result in life-threatening injury? "Sorrow-sharing with you Glurpglop, for your traveling-shell has been destroyed in conflict with hostiles who speak of slime-oozing eyeball shit stains. A Planetary custom of dire 'name-calling.' Does your wedding have defenders as well as 'medical-professionals' in the event of surviving slimy eyeballs?"

  Thank goodness they all arrived to the wedding on time, because from the sounds of gossip from the bridesmaids, the Princess had heard her man was missing and might've sent some mercenaries out to end him for running away. Were they the same mercenaries from the shipyard? It didn't matter now! The wedding nuptials were beautiful and strange. Aure only had more and more questions about customs. Buck's buns got bandaged. Everyone was certain Fhlik was someone's lost child. Strange lizards tried to flirt with Yussa. A galactic disaster was prevented and their best friend, dearest Glurpglop was happily married to his dangerous true love. THE END!
