[This afternoon, you may notice a new notice posted up for all to see:

WARNING!!!

THERE MAY BE AN INFESTATION OF A MAN-EATING INSECT BEING INTRODUCED TO THE ECOSYSTEMS.

THIS IS A TERAPEDE. IT IS VERY SIMILAR TO A CENTIPEDE IN APPEARANCE. 

HOWEVER, IT WILL EAT THE FLESH OFF OF YOUR BONE. 

IT COMES FROM THE WORLD OF SABRA LA TAU.

TERAPEDES CAN BREED AND PLACE THEIR SOON-TO-BE BROOD IN DARK PLACES SUCH AS UNDERGROUND.

BEWARE: IF YOU SEE ANY GROUND OR WALLS WITH HOLES THAT SOUNDS AS THOUGH THERE IS MOVEMENT COMING FROM INSIDE, IT IS LIKELY THE BROOD OF A TERAPEDE EMERGING.

ALSO NOTE: IF YOU SURVIVE A TERAPEDE ATTACK, THEY MAY, IN FACT, USE YOU AS AN INCUBATOR FOR THEIR BROOD. 

THESE CREATURES ARE LARGE, SO DO NOT TAKE THE ABOVE PHOTO LIGHTLY.

HERE ARE THE SIZE OF THESE CREATURES TO SCALE:



IF YOU HAVE ANY QUESTIONS, ASK YOUR LOCAL SABRAN.

So how's your day going, Thusia?]

[ oh jesus fucking lord almighty ]

[........... UM. I'M JUST GONNA STARE AT THIS.]

But how?

[oh god why]

Oh.

[A pause to consider this development]

Is the picture to scale?

[Oh. I KNEW I was forgetting something.]

Well! That's informative.

It... Ah, It says so here...

[ runs his finger under the "to scale" line ]

[JESUS FUCKING CHRIST]

[That tone sure sounds sheepish.

WHIPS AROUND.]

Ptou?

[BLINKS...]

Only that big? That can't be too bad.

I didn't do it!

What--? This message definitely makes them sound bad... ...I want to say that this is exciting, but there are people here that they could hurt.

[How does he manage to loom ominously from a foot below you? How?

It's a mystery, but he DOES.]

Explain. Now.

[ a little moth crawls across the image :o ]

[sorry but you have the look of UNDERSTANDING]

--know something about this?

Only if we're not careful. If there's someone who has an open wound, then I'd be glad to help them.

[Help them get eaten faster, maybe.]

Well! It somewhat turns out that Nova's terapede and Rota's are both different genders and had taken to each other.

I'd actually mentioned such to Zexion to put it to post.

We all do.

... so you're one of those Sabran people.

[Okay wait just. Wait. I have to wrap my mind around why ANYONE WOULD LET TWO TERAPEDES BREED.]

........................

Mmm. Alike and unlike. I was present in the older days.

[Because unless driven out by starvation, they're a carrion hunter/scavenger creature?]

[No. Fuck you.]

... You realize this is a serious hazard to the health and safety of every person here, right?

[what]

[LOOKIN' KIND OF PALE AND HOMICIDAL THERE, KANDA]

I wouldn't say everyone... Mostly the unobservant and unwary, but that's always the case in frontier sort of situations.

Besides, there's plenty for them to eat that isn't us.

Yeah, okay, sure. Whatever. I know people who went there, so I don't know it myself.

This thing legit?
