Mid-morning. Three months to Christmas
popped into consciousness. – Amorella
0835 hours. Strange that 25 would trigger Christmas when it could just
as easily been 25 cents, a quarter of a dollar. It looks like another perfectly
good and pleasant Autumn day in southwest Ohio. We all have our opinions on
September and December. I actually prefer September weather-wise; though
grandchildren make Christmas fun again. Less coughing last night and better
sleeping on that account.
You had a short nap and did some household
chores along with calling Scott S. Construction about reconstruction of the
northwest corner of the house from the damage caused by a woodpecker, mostly
while you were on vacation. – Amorella
1249 hours. We haven’t had Scott
working for us for a couple of years or so. Carol now wants him to replace deck
boards so perhaps we are going to work on the house again.
Carol is on the phone with her sister and
you have been playing with paragraphs for Pouch Six. You are not sure quite how
to begin. First we focus on the main character. This operation is top secret and
only machinery Onesixanzero knows anything about it other than Drenakite the
Cleric priestess. Let’s let Onesixanzero lead as Director Kembel walks into the
machinery and sits much like Lincoln in the statue in Washington. – Amorella
1304 hours. This seems weird but it is
something to begin with.
You
had lunch at Marx Bagels in Blue Ash for a shared delicious tuna deluxe on a
honey and wheat bagel and two chocolate chip cookie each; then after watching
the cars go by for a half hour you took Cooper over to Montgomery Road to stop
at Montgomery Square for Carol; as far as you know you will be heading home
after. – Amorella
1435 hours. We enjoy our routines. I
predict we stop for a Graeter’s or go to the park for reading in the shade. I
did not do my exercises – feeling unwell after a coughing fit in the morning,
better this afternoon.
A stop at Graeter’s and Kroger’s on the way
home. Bakery bread, your favorites. Then Carol wants to walk so you’ll be off
again. – Amorella
1521 hours. The machinery room would
appear to have no distinguishing marks. In some ways, in my mind, I am reminded
of a stone crypt, a room, ten by twelve with a higher than usual ceiling, maybe
fifteen feet. The top has a dark sponge-like appearance, maybe even moldy,
small dark green earthworm like, circular mold. The floor is stone as are the walls – I would have thought
the computer would be built in the walls like insulation, like in Ship. On the
outside it is gray like granite, no windows and the roof is peaked from four
corners – like the four directions. Maybe there is a holograph of some sort
that shows from the ceiling to ground level.
You
are home. It is interesting to observe you conjure up a setting from life
experience. The size came from the Alto Plano region of Bolivia some distance
from the Peruvian border. A selection of size in the vision is from Tiwanaku.
You took your own but the one from Wikipedia will do here.
Gate of the Sun at Tiwanaku
The
stone of the tower is from Machu Picchu ruins.

hours. I don’t know if you are correct, but when thinking of an alien place
both settings fill the bill as far as authenticity are concerned – alien-like
settings to me.
The ‘mold’ you describe are leaf veins
curled as in an Inca design. For our purposes they are sensing veins for the
machine that studies marsupial behaviors and is now correlating human behaviors
within it. This is a secret machine work created by Yermey and Kembel and
Drenakite before Friendly and Hartolite are aware Yermey is going along. You
will have a lot to say on this so Pouch Six and Seven will be used to set the
stage for the reader. – Amorella
1638 hours. The beginning flavor of
Brave New World immediately comes to mind here except rather than Alpha and
Beta babies I see various sets of machinery in blocks placed together like Inca
stone blocks. The play between rough edges allows various senses to appear,
smell, height and depth, taste, sound, touch, sound and sight – that is,
correlations of these things modified by the body of Drenakite. These Clerics
are supposed to be hairless.
She is hairless. A model can be the statue
of a Greek goddess, but we will cover her with a living ivy-like plant that
thrives from air; an air plant or epiphyte. Only this one has been trained to
grow on the hairless human body rather than a plant.

An epiphyte
is a plant that grows non-parasitically upon another plant (such as a tree),
and derives its moisture and nutrients from the air, rain, and sometimes from
debris accumulating around it instead of the structure it is fastened to. An
epiphytic organism that is not a plant is not called an epiphyte. Epiphytes are usually found in
the temperate zone. . . . Epiphytes provide a rich and diverse habitat for
other organisms including animals, fungi, bacteria, and myxomcetes. Epiphyte
is one of the subdivisions of the Raunkiaer system.
The
term epiphytic derives from the Greek epi- (meaning 'upon') and phyton
(meaning 'plant'). Epiphytic plants are sometimes called "air plants"
because they do not root in soil. However, there are many aquatic species of
algae, including seaweeds, that are epiphytes on other aquatic plants
(seaweeds or aquatic angiosperms).
The best-known epiphytic plants
include mosses, orchids, and bromeliads such as Spanish moss, but epiphytes may
be found in every major group of the plant kingdom. 89% of epiphyte species
(about 24,000) are flowering plants. The second largest group are the
leptosporangiate ferns, with about 2800 species (10% of epiphytes). In fact,
about one third of all ferns are epiphytes. The third largest group is clubmosses, with 190 species,
followed by a handful of species in each of the spikemosses, other ferns,
Gnetales and cycads.

hours. I like this Amorella. Very cool. I can feel my imagination mold/flow into this
setting.
1714 hours. Wow. This is what I call fun. Indeed, most cool. The thing is before I thought this event today I would have never thought it at all.
2118
hours. Now that I sit down to think on it the priestess is marsupial humanoid
not human so the ‘classical’ touch makes little difference. A light blue thin
silk-like classical wrap when dressed. How would she publically wear her plant?
A towel wrap hanging her pouch line would suffice, down the thigh perhaps
mid-thigh. Light brown sparsely oiled skin like lightly toasted buttered bread.
With the narrative from the machine’s viewpoint before the Director enters. Two
chairs facing one another, similar to the one pictured.
The
floor appears as marble only a dark earth-brown four walls are placed stone
fifteen feet high, each multitudes of gray to brown shaded granite-like stone
about a foot in length and four to five inches high and at least two feet
thick. A smattering of Orchid like plants and flowers placed hanging at various
levels, grown with artificial sunlight and humidity. In some ways the placement
gave the machine space the appearance of a die from the inside. Three flowers
on one wall, two on another, one on another and four on yet another. One would
expect six plants from the ceiling and five growing from the floor. Possible ancient marsupial humanoid purpose below:

Dice can be used for divination
and using dice for such a purpose is called cleromancy. A pair of common dice
is usual, though other forms of polyhedra can be used. Tibetan Buddhists
sometimes use this method of dvination. It is highly likely that the
Pythagoreans used the Platonic solids as dice. They referred to such dice as
"the dice of the gods" and they sought to understand the universe
through an understanding of geometry in polyhedra.
