There was a pretty big age gap, some were 33 while others were 21, so you could totally tell who was from where. Nowadays you don't have to think about it, all the kids are from "Amber Burrows" now. We would gather together on a stage in front of whoever wanted to be in the crowd that night. Next to each of us were some of Fii's angels. Fii would cast a mass birth spell on us, and we would give birth on stage. Babies and Eggs were quickly taken care of by the angels, moved to incubators or special baby platforms.

Oh my, the angels and other witches are going to love seeing you like this. Now, let's talk more about pregnancy, genetics, repopulation festivals, and Amber Burrows. Emily this lecture is mostly for $player.name's benefit but it's still worth keeping all these in mind. I will now throw my kick-ass attitude in the trash and enter teacher mode...@@ //Fii clears her throat and tries to appear more formal.// @@color:orange; &emsp; &emsp; Both of you no doubt have noticed you can move around as though your first daughter was not there. This is caused by a levitation lift applied by the spell. It allows your spine and feet to be under less stress and you will be especially thankful for it at bigger sizes like mine. For reasons still being researched, the levitation lift is not equally effective on every person. You may see some maidens struggle even with it, but I'm glad to see both of you work well with the arcane. This same magic is also preventing you from entering a very painful state called <strong>LABOR</strong>, more on that beast later. The benefits of levitation and labor prevention last for 28-35 days. Thankfully, the labor prevention portion of the effect applies equally to everyone regardless of if the levitation fails. &emsp; &emsp; You two are both <strong>FULL-TERM</strong>, which means the babies inside were fully grown in seconds, are fully developed, and are waiting to be born. We'll circle back to birth later. For immortal entities such as myself, we are incapable of creating complex immortal beings in seconds. We must let them grow in our wombs over the course of 5 years. That is to say, I am going into my last year of gestation tomorrow and over the course of the final year you will see me get bigger. With mortals such as yourself, impregnation spells always result in full-term babies and eggs. The full-term baby will not grow further until it's outside your body, but if you hold a full-term baby inside yourself for too long, the 28-35 days mentioned earlier, then you enter <strong>LABOR</strong>. Your body will urge you to give birth to the baby yourself which I will emphasize is <strong>NOT FUN and VERY PAINFUL</strong>. Again we will circle back to birth later. Anywho - CRASH COURSE ON GENETICS! &emsp; &emsp; Babies share their race with their birth mother. Emily is holding a Wasp, $player.name is holding a $player.race. All humanoid offspring on Marmor are female, which you may have already realized during your short stay here $player.name. Barn animals and small wildlife are male and female as you expect, though. While mortals are mothers of their own race, heavenly beings like me can will themself to have whatever they want to have. They need only consider what they want to have as they cast the spell on themselves. In case you wanted to know: I'm gestating 8 Human Angels, 4 Oni Angels, 4 Pomeranian Angels, and 2 Green Slime Angels. Anyhow, the genetics of mortal children are based on their birth mother. Let's go over a maiden in your city, just for example: @@ <img src="AB-Content/img/Maiden/Kindra/1A.png" width="512" height="512"> @@color:orange; Kindra is a Bat. Her eyes are green, her hair is black, her wings have spikes, and her chest size is medium premium. Her initial fertility for the normal, heavy, and hyper spell are also there. These are all genetic phenotypes that Kindra has; Genes that are physically present and visible. Inside her ovaries is a set of replicating RNA strands that has been hauling ass for the past 24 years giving each of her eggs a phenotype for each of those areas. These strands can give her eggs traits that she herself does not have, but her family has had historically. They can also rarely contain <strong>MUTATED</strong> traits, traits that will be unique to that incoming offspring that can then become part of the family gene pool if I select that future egg as a maiden. &emsp; &emsp; Kindra is actually the first Bat to have Green Eyes; none of her sisters have that trait. By selecting her as Maiden, I am effectively introducing green eyes to the bat's gene pool. Make sense? Good. I selected her for another reason than just the eye color, but it stands as a good example. This also works in reverse, where I can select someone who has <strong>LOST</strong> something from a mutation to remove a trait from the gene pool. This is often how a mortal Human comes to be: Monkey lost their tail, that sort of thing. Some races mutate more or less frequently, with Common Rabbits easily being the most diverse species on Marmor right now.@@ [[Now let's talk Festivals]] <<silent>><<set $fiiOrientation to true>><</silent>>

In fact, having a mana capacity of exactly zero is how immortals can diagnose someone or something as dead. Magic will use this ethereal energy to accomplish something, that's called casting a spell. Ethereal mana you fail to use will prevent your body from generating new mana; so I'm here to prevent an inefficiency. Before you sleep for the day, I absorb any mana you didn't use, and you will restore your mana in your sleep like all beings do. You can then come to me the next morning or whenever you like to reclaim that mana. &emsp; &emsp; However, when trying to STORE mana outside of the host it can't remain in an ethereal state -- It has to become a physical state. That physical state can then be re-converted into the ethereal state. Mana in the physical state is dead-weight and inert, it can't be used for anything. It also can't be stored outside a live body. This creates what is called "mana fat" for whoever chooses to store it. What more, storage for mana is limited: there is a "Too much" where my ability to absorb from you will no longer be possible as my body rejects intaking more mana fat.

The south bound of the park has more trees, the east is more spacious. You make way to the North-West corner and notice reed like plants. Cattails? Not quite, alien reeds. Curious, you stick on the path where reeds coat the right side. Eventually you reach a bridge that crosses over a river. Is it water, though? The fluid sounds more sloppy. You look over the bridge edge and see a slime creek flowing in a long bend. It splits between being visible and flowing underneath the land in natural looking cave tunnels.

And when the town was first being settled the river was very important for getting goods from Fiume Gorgogliante here.@@ "The river is made of slime? How does that work?" @@color:#8FBC8F; Nobody really knows how it became a slime river. Records from Goddess Yumei's period mapping the world show evidence that the river has been a slime river for at least three thousand years as of the time they found it, which is way before any of the Goddesses stepped foot on this world. When Goddess Tey later launched festivities for Fiume Gorgogliante, the first Red Slime Maiden of the city started birthing a mixture of Red Slimes and Green Slimes instead of just Red Slimes. Tey jumped on the opportunity to make Green Slimes their own Race, which is attributed to being possible thanks to Gloop River's proximity.@@ "Any more details about the river itself?" @@color:#8FBC8F; It flows from a geyser high point in Fiume Gorgoliante south west all the way down here to Amber Burrows before flowing into an underground aquifer that uses the planet's pressure to move back north and re-emerge in Fiume Gorgogliante.

Normal bar soap doesn't really work in it though so we have speciality soaps to clear our surfaces of little debris that would otherwise stack up. You know how your dead skin cells collect as dust around the house? Slimes don't do that, it has to be washed off. Our dust is called slime beads because they typically end up as a pile of beads near the tub drain. We scoop those beads up and use them to fertilize the gardens.@@ "Any other cool slime facts you can teach me?" @@color:#8FBC8F; Slimes can sense magical enchantments naturally.

They actually enjoy the food they eat, hahaha! Mouse chunkiness is normalized around here, it's one of the main tells between a Mouse and a Rat. Mice are, typically, chubby in some way to help maintain body temperature with anti-clotting blood. Rats are closer to the standard humanoids like Elves, Leopards, Mutts, etc. Mice have fur tails while rats have naked tails. Fat in White Mice tends to bundle extra fat... Up here@@ //Wobble wobble// @@color:#CDFFCD; While Brown Mice tends to roll extra fat in the trunk. Tends is the key word! Either Mouse can go either way I'm just saying what's typical.@@ "Why are Rats so body-functionally different to Mice?" @@color:#CDFFCD; While we are both rodents, Evolutionary studies during Lugn's golden age shows Mice and Rats as having different common ancestors.

She may have recommended Raspberry purely because Lindsey knew her daughter's desire and role in the community.@@ "Did your mom recommend you?" @@color:#CDFFCD; She died young to an unfortunate condition that compromised her immune system a few years after her term as Maiden.

In most species, having high amounts of this lipoprotein can lead to cardiovascular disease as it gets stuck and builds up in your blood. When Mice make blood cells from bone marrow, the membrane is specially coated with little hooks that will help free clots if they do form. Other lipoprotiens can also help free the blockages naturally, it's just that red blood cells are also equipped to help, which is why we say we have anti-clotting blood.@@ "What is the common ancestor difference you mentioned earlier?" @@color:#CDFFCD; Oh, yeah we got this trait from our ancestry... try not to laugh. The Arctic Seals in Snöns Helgedom! They use fat rolls to keep warm in the cold and we evolved from them.@@ "How did we get from fat seals needing it for the cold environment to city Mice that have it due to poor heat exchange?" //She shows you a page from Evolution records where Seals from Snöns Helgedom branch into Walruses and Mice as two seperate branches"// @@color:#CDFFCD; Well, ya got me. By all accounts it doesn't make sense.@@ "And you have proof this happened." @@color:#CDFFCD; Yep, included in the book; Snöns Helgedom went from having Festivals with 8 races to having Festivals with 9 races and the White Mouse was the new addition with no past record anywhere else in the world. Brown Mice came from us creating a mutation that changed the fat distribution and fur color, so... yeah.@@ "Are there other colors of Mouse?" @@color:#CDFFCD; Just white and brown. As for Rats... I think they're every color in the rainbow at this point. They've had a much longer time to mutate different hair colors. Not as biodiverse as the common rabbits are, but close. I will note that the "Orange" Rat bloodline appears to live exclusively in the Witch-Bloodline-Underground-City-Complexes aka W-B-U-C-C aka Wabuck.
