WttV - Entry 1.1: A flash, and stars flickered across his vision, but not just the stars of shock or pain. Real stars. An unfathomable darkness opened beneath him, a gaping absence. The endless depth of the Void yawned, tearing at his being as he hurtled onward. Onward through the emptiness, through the black, reeling darkness... Onward! A thud, and the heavy weight of gravity seized his limbs as he collapsed to solid earth. It was over. Takanuva lay still, his lungs heaving, per
“Go.” The voice echoed in the dry air of the chamber. Helryx’s voice was terse, thick with urgency. She stepped forward and pressed something into his hand. It was the gnomon—a piece of the ancient sundial he had unlocked. What did it mean? He could not say. Takanuva glanced to his left. The Silent Toa still stood motionless, his eyes grim. Krakua was a strange Toa, Takanuva thought; but, of the three beings which surrounded him in this dim chamber, he trusted him the most. Krakua nodded
WttV Entry 1.4 “Remember, creature.” “Perhaps then you will learn to listen...” The Hau faded into the starlight as Takanuva moved away, its eyes glittering with a knowing look as it flickered and vanished. The wind began to moan again as Takanuva jogged off down the ruined track of the road. His focus was now turned to a new duty—a new goal. He was running out of time. He felt the urgency of his plight keenly now. He would have to finish this task quickly if he was to continue. Befo
WttV Entry 1.2: An hour went by. The gravel of the forest floor crunched under his armored feet. The stars shone down, unblinking. Takanuva was beginning to feel restless. Striding on through the endless darkness, there was no destination, no real direction. He had no goal, other than getting out of the forest, and now he felt as if he were going in circles. The trees seemed to gather more thickly around him as he went on, the branches lowering like twisted arms. It was an unsettling pla

“You have seen him? He is the Makuta. He will destroy us if I do not go.”
Mata Nui turned away. “Goodbye, brave Glatorian. You have shown yourselves worthy of redemption. Remember these things and survive. For my destiny and the destiny of my people lies elsewhere in the universe. I will strive to repair your world, and perhaps then the Great Beings shall return…”
“Goodbye, Great Spirit. We will not forget.”
There was a moment of silence as Mata Nui

I realized that I never actually posted this here...
This is the Simplicity Kit. A kit which you will probably need glasses to see (and, if you don't have glasses yet, you just wait). The goal of this was basically to amuse myself spriting something tiny, easy, simple. That sort of thing. It may not be useful to anyone, but it was very fun. So fun, in fact, that I may just have to find time to update it in future.
Until then, enjoy:

I know I'm late on the draw, but I just wanted to post an entry expressing my thanks to BZP Reporter Senjo for the complimentary news article on Despair, as well as to the people who consequently went to read the story and gave their thoughtful responses. It's all been very encouraging.

Taking a look at one of the names for the Matoran Language that I've come up with:
Matoranoro, cmpnd. the Words of Those Who Speak [Derived from the two elements matoran, literally "Word-Master Beings, Speakers", and oro "word(s)"]
Matoran, n. lit. word-master being(s), generalized as "speakers", “those who speak” [From older matoroan; formed from the older compound mator(o) “word master” and the suffix -an “being, individual”]
mator(o), cmpnd. word-master, a master of words [From the tw
A side project. The sprite on the right is the old one (I hope you could kind of tell ) and the left one is a revamp. I'm glad to know that I've improved a little from the olden days. Oh, and hue-shifting is very fun.
On another note, last college final was Wednesday! It was linguistics, so it wasn't all that hyper-stressful. And now I'm free to do what I will for the three+ weeks of Christmas break. We're planning to take a trip up to the Grand Canyon with some relatives around New Years. Th
