SERU Foster Ship || 009: Friendship and Meetings

ENTRY 009 - FRIENDSHIP AND MEETINGS

Happy Friday, everyone!

Our arrivals today were Ebiko, a female Norn, and Ethan, a male! Ebiko is a cute little Norn with arms closer to an animal's front legs, allowing her to crawl about with ease. She doesn't have any particular quirks, though she might be a little funny-looking! Ethan is similarly a little funny-looking with his long arms. He gets bored easily, so make sure he has lots of things to explore and play with!

SERU Foster Ship || 008: Unlikely Appearances

ENTRY 008 - UNLIKELY APPEARANCES

Good afternoon! 

Our first rescue today was Erica, a quite natural-looking female Norn with two tails! She's quite curious and loves to roam around, but seems to get sleepy quickly. Our second was Ferris, who despite his appearance, is actually a Grendel! Ferris, like Elfgard before him, appears to not experience any need for anything. Whether or not he remains a baby like Elfgard remains to be seen, but we will be monitoring him.

SERU Foster Ship || 007: Taking it Easy

ENTRY 007 - TAKING IT EASY

Happy Wednesday, everyone! We hope your week is going well so far.

Today's arrivals are a pair of female Norns, Erne and Eberta! Erne is a sweet Norn who seems to like to take things at her own pace. She walks slowly and seems to be quite methodical in deciding what she will do next, but she's friendly and in quite good health. Eberta, similarly, seems to like to take her time at doing things and spends a lot of time resting. Neither of them appear to have any particularly out-there quirks.

SERU Foster Ship || 006: Needless Things

ENTRY 006 - NEEDLESS THINGS

Hello once again, everyone! Here are today's SERU rescues!

Today's first arrival was Elfgard, a very sweet female Norn! Interestingly enough, Elfgard does not appear to have any drives - or if she does, they go up very slowly. We monitored her for over 30 minutes but did not see her get hungry, tired, or bored (or age, for that matter). We aren't sure if this means she doesn't have needs or if she's just unable to feel them, so please take care! Our second arrival was a male Grendel, Borgan, who ages a little quicker than other creatures but is otherwise very friendly and sweet with no particular special needs.

SERU Foster Ship || 005: Of Critters and Short Lives

ENTRY 005 - OF CRITTERS AND SHORT LIVES

Hello once again, everyone! Here are today's SERU arrivals.

Our first arrival today was Euiko! A sweet, curious little thing, Euiko gets along well with others but needs lots of new things to keep her entertained! She gets bored easily, but she's happy if she has places to explore and lots of toys. Interestingly enough, she seems to prefer bugs as a source of protein over other types of food. Our second arrival was Alicia, a friendly female grendel who, like Hiccup before her, seems to very much prefer warm environments. 

SERU Foster Ship || 004: A Curious Arrival

ENTRY 004 - A CURIOUS ARRIVAL

Hello everyone! Although the SERU network was closed off for the holidays, we are now back in action! 

Our first arrival today was an Ettin! This is Betsy, a healthy young Ettin who seems perhaps a bit spacey. She has trouble focusing, but is very obedient, so she should be able to learn to care for herself with a little patience from her adopter. We've noticed that after a few minutes, she contracts an illness; details will be included in her adoption notes. Our second arrival was Nickel, a very regular Norn who does not appear to have any special care needs. He's a sweetie, and not very talkative, so perhaps someone in search of a quieter Norn may like him best!

SERU Foster Ship || 003: A Warm Welcome

ENTRY 003 - A WARM WELCOME

Good afternoon, everyone! Here are the rescues we received today.

These two are Eikea (female) and Hiccup (female). Eikea is a sweet little girl who appears to be in remarkably good health given the circumstances of her life before she hatched. She's very polite and well-behaved, but appears to have a little trouble settling down when it's time to rest. Some gentle encouragement helps her quite a bit. Hiccup, on the other hand, is a Grendel who seems to get cold very quickly. Her small size and lack of a tail make her quite endearing, but adopters should take care to make sure she has a warm environment.

SERU Foster Ship || 002: Up and Down

ENTRY 002 - UP AND DOWN

Here are today's new arrivals from the SERU network!

Today's two Norns are Ericcs (male) and Emerentja (female)! Ericcs was very frightened for seemingly no reason after his birth, but calmed down after a few minutes. He also gained a green tint to his body after becoming a Child. Emerentja, on the other hand, seems to take things quick - quick to anger, and quick to grow up, too, losing her pink coloration upon becoming a Child at 3 minutes of age.

SERU Foster Ship || 001: Norns and Company

ENTRY 001 - NORNS AND COMPANY

I am happy to report that our first pair of eggs has successfully hatched in the SERU Foster Ship!

These two lovely children are Emochit (male) and Engelberga (female). Both of the two are quite small in size, and Emochit appears to be four-legged, making him quite compact! Thankfully, they were able to hatch successfully. In the first few minutes of their life, Emochit has been able to survive well on his own; on the other hand, Engelberga seems to struggle with eating food properly.

SERU Foster Ship || Prologue

ENTRY 000 - HELLO WORLD

Somewhere far, far out in our galaxy, at the furthest edges of space, we are always searching. The Stray Egg Rescue Unit, or SERU for short, is a rescue team that explores space and takes in stray eggs that have been left behind in the stars, in the aftermath of spaceship collisions. These unfortunate Creatures may have suffered from their time spent floating absently in space before they've even hatched, but here at SERU, we try to give them a new chance at life.

However, the massive amount of eggs that SERU rescues every day need somewhere to go, and with a lack of volunteers, SERU has created a number of Foster Ships to house these Creatures until they can be adopted into loving homes.

This tale begins in just one of our Foster Ships, which has been carefully crafted to be the most welcoming to these stray Creatures. Offering a number of different miniature environments from volcanic to arctic, every Creature will be able to find a comfortable place to stay that suits them best. Our Foster Ships are also equipped with a quarantine room that can be locked, which temporarily houses new rescues until we can be sure that the Creature is safe and healthy enough to be released to join the rest of the ship.

This Foster Ship in particular is brand new, and I, Felix, am the Head Caretaker here. I've been wanting to find a way to spread more awareness of who SERU is and what we do for a long time, and so I've decided to start keeping these logs online in hopes that perhaps someone in our galaxy might read them and choose to adopt a stray Creature. I will also be accepting any questions potential adopters might have about our Creatures, so please feel free to send us questions in the days to come.

We are waiting for our first rescues to arrive shortly through the SERU's long-term Rescue Warp system. Though this system is perhaps a little slower, taking a day to deliver rescued eggs two at a time, it ensures that the eggs are transported to the correct location safely and with minimal further damage.

I will be looking forward to sharing each of our rescues with you in the days to come, and I hope that perhaps one of you may have it in your heart to adopt a Creature rescued by SERU!

Signing off,

Felix

Head Caretaker

SERU Foster Ship C18

[The SERU Foster Ship is a DS world using the Other Lone Shee Ark. SERU is an agent by Amaikokonut, originally released at CCSF '09. Each day of the CCSF, two new SERU Creatures will be rescued and added to the Foster Ship, so stay tuned!]

I'm Not Dead, or what I've actually been up to

Hello hello! It's, uh, been a while, huh? I hope you all are doing well!

I've been spending the past few months doing schoolwork and admittedly not a whole lot else - though I've got plenty of free time to spare, I haven't had much motivation to do anything particularly creative or engaging lately. And that's not very fun!

Admittedly I took a bit of a break from Creatures after ending New Albia, as I found myself terribly frustrated with Creatures 2 and lacking the drive to engage myself in another project for the blog right away.

However, the Creatures Community Spirit Festival is coming up! For that matter, that means the one-year anniversary of the Pappus Café is coming up! That's no time for sulking, now, is it?! Though the fire for Creatures in my heart has never quite gone away, seeing everyone beginning to gear up for the CCSF has added some new kindling. I've been playing around with a few ideas, and I think it's high time a new world began here, too! When the CCSF starts, I'll be opening a new storybook to the first page...

See you soon!
