OOC/U to Wizard: Hey Wizard. Ouch on the massive work catching up. No problem on the posting. The planet life has a basic language, but the energy Forms don't. I guess come back when you can.
IC/U: As the species fought each other, a Form Z entered one of the warmer-climate life forms. Considering the vastness of space, and the size of these forms, it was unusual how so many Forms went there. It's as if it was planned, but it wasn't, not at all. This Form gained more though this time than the other life. In the reactions, it had begun to partially merge with the life's memory, forming the idea of... well, idea. The life was relatively short, but the Form gained much from this trip. It became what would be called Form ZB. In the end of the universe, it would be very important.

Far from that place, another planet had begun to form more advanced cells. These were adapting to the atmosphere of methane, unlike the other life which went with creating oxygen. These cells would not reach multi-cellular level, but they would cause other events unlikely to be noticed.

IC/U: The Form ZB had a strange ability unique to it and all Forms. That ability was to connect the memories together to determine a better reaction.

Time has been too slow, though. It is time to speed things up. The two civilizations ended their war from eventual agreement that peace was better. Later still, the climate became too different, and they died out. The most advanced they got was the idea of metalworking. Later still, the climate had become mostly hot around the world, from the growing star.

On the second world, the world's atmosphere had become mostly methane. This was a hot planet, so much so, that it became like Venus. Too hot for life, even the kind that made methane. It died out, but its effect was nowhere near over.

Over the next few million years that happened, and over the next billion, the star of the second world supernovaed. The planet survived with it's methane atmosphere intact. The first planet was nearing too hot for life, but it wasn't quite there.

At this point, no planets had carbon-based life. The Forms went on, and by now, a second Form ZB had formed. Elsewhere, the universe remained violent, and could be considered lifeless.

OOU to any; Just got back from a resort and spa in palms springs. It was great, and the hotel room was huge (actually a large suite)! But I had so much school work to do, and resorts aren't really my thing. It was fun though. Well, anyways it was fun and that's why I wasn't here.
OOU to Gamer; I'll try to post more regularly. You must be getting bored. You'll notice some similarities between the Ploners and my LATG creatures, and new things introduced to them will be extremely similar (thier loneliness.) but you had to know some events that happened before in LATG to understand.

IU

Quick review, Nekash, Whiterocks, and the Second planet in the green galaxy have been destroyed. Cuddlefish have evolved to be the size of large Koi, and Speedfish are the size of giant anaconda. Both are slowly developing gills. The Seeders on Kunjabu are now much like Cacti. The green galaxy is slowly shrinking, and the dust clouds are still froming new planets and creating more life. The ship slowing down time around the planet is gone, and left the creatures, thier plant life, and other organisms on a planet with a similar climate to thier original home. The planet was renamed Mantell.

Orb Galaxy

Splont

The language of the Cuddlefish was remarkably advanced. They made high pitched noises, changing pitch and pausing in different places which made different words. They had invented a word for almost everything around them.

OOU; sorry, out of Ideas. I'll try to hink of some more and remeber my LATG creatures names.

THE FADINE! I just remembered thier names ( by looking it up on life after the grox ) kay, will post again soon.

OOC/U to Wizard: Okay then. Glad you fun, though. Also, since I haven't been posting in LATG, I haven't been reading it. I am very behind in it right now. As for boredom, no, just relatively inactive.
IC/U:

The one too hot planet was now too hot for life, the other was already dead. Now carbon-based life was extinct in the entire universe... at this time. As the next few billion years pass, many stars and planets form, the first few galaxies reach about the Milky Way's size. The universe slowly becomes less dangerous, but despite this, no more life forms more advanced than cells, and they don't emerge until about the 10 billion year mark. They each die out within another 200 million years, except for a few, and those few will eventually have multi-cellular life. A couple more billion years, and across the universe, there is intelligent life again, 3 species in total. Indeed, life is rare, however, in the future, it will be much more common. In fact, in the end, there will be billions of intelligent species, but that's a long way off.

OOU; I found out what happened to alpha. He's quitting spore for minecraft.

OOU; Ugh. Schoolwork and church, so I can't post but I'll edit this at about three or four pacific time. Sorry, though I had a long enough break to post. Bye.

OOC/U to Wizard: Ah. Okay. You're welcome. I see.
OOC/U: Sorry for the general inactivity.
IC/U:

Each of the three species managed to unite itself and head into space. None however had achieved FTL. As they explored, and slowly advanced, they had begun to realize the emptiness of the universe. It was disturbing, but yet empowering, that despite it all, how far life had come and could go. But it would not find something as interesting in space as in the great subatomic scales, learning the basis of physics. In experiments, it was clear there was some underlying force that kept things going, but this force was unclear. One experiment though, showing the smallest scales of energy, showed something they never expected. A lifeform. Specifically, a form K.

IC/U:

A lifeform on the near energy scales at first was disturbing, on how it could mean they have used life to power machines, even after technology replaced domestication. But soon, it was realized, that the Forms were in fact very rare. So rare, they only found one within all of the exploration since or before. It seemed stranger that of everything, they would find it. It was then wondered how advanced was it. As they investigated, they found that it had reacted perfectly to any energy situation around it, but did not much more.

But before this study got too much into depth, they made a more startling discovery, a radio wave that when translated, sounded like a voice. They followed it and found another of the intelligent species. Translations followed, and they began to work together. The other intelligent race however was alone, but preparing defenses and offenses as if there was an unknown threat. Was there? Nope, but the race had united through militaristic means, and so their culture was as such.

Meanwhile, the Forms everywhere continued on, not even grasping the concept of movement, just moving along. There was one though that was fairly close to that idea, though.

Sorry about my massive monologue. I'm grounded, so I won't be on here for another week. Again, sorry. Bye.

OOC/U: I guess come on when you can, then.
IC/U: The militaristic civilization was building anti-matter weapons as the other two studied how anti-matter worked. It was quite a different culture. After a couple thousand years, each one advanced so highly, their were few things they didn't know. These were each other, and how the Forms formed. They had discovered more of them, but that's about it. They couldn't find any clues otherwise. They were also surprised from the absence of other life in the universe, that despite the size, any life apparently was rare. They had discovered the two earlier worlds once hosted life, but never to their level. With their technology, they tried reviving them and their culture. But because time travel wasn't known, it wasn't perfect. It didn't matter though, because it didn't work in the first place.

Meanwhile, one of the Forms when it reproduced this time, created an odd mutation caused by the interference of observation. It created one that had the ability to hold more energy than the usual, but that was because it had lost the ability to reproduce. This would a Form KA, and that ability would have a surprising effect in the long run, but again, that was the long run.

OOU: I'm back, everyone! I didn't think I'd ever come back, but here I am. *scientific voice begins...

Radium
The planet it'self is a highly radioactive device. Any organism not accustomed to the phenomena would die in seconds. The core, is a huge, solid ball of uranium, with an 800 mile radius. The half life is impossible to calculate.
Thus, evolution is shifting at every turn. Their chicken-like bodies become larger and more in the sense of a reptile, still two-legged. They also have arms, but no tail.
Since at this rate, you may assume that sapience is upon them. Indeed, it is true, they gained intelligence. Though the plain is nourish-able, they lack the need of buildings or shelter, and are now the dominant species.

OOC/U to Calebfvg: Welcome back.
IC/U:

The civilization revival failed because there was too little information to work with on reviving the other life. As the life was not sure what to do, it split into studying three main things. One was the entire universe, a mapping. Two, was studying the Forms. Three, was to make abstract art to keep things interesting.

The mapping of the universe had found the other civilization, and the two attempted contact. Despite the militaristic growth in the past, peace was readily agreed with. They had weapons capable of destroying galaxies but none were used, nor would any.

The Forms were studied, but not much new had been gained. One thing new though they found was their age, and this completely changed their studies of science of before. They figured they were around for billions of years, as the universe had been, but they had found with the evolutionary rate they had, they must have been older than the universe. Far older. Indeed this was true, but all of their physics understanding was based upon the notion that the current universe has always been the only one.

The abstract art was interesting, but often, it was hard to come up with it. As almost every conceivable scene had already been made or felt. There was one though, created by one such being, that had not been since the first universe. That scene was of a more empty universe, with the stars as rare as galaxies here. The scene had indeed happened in the first universe, but that was coincidence, right?

OOU to all; Hey! sorry I've been so annoying lately. I'm back 4 good now, but I'll sometimes be gone for a week or two at A time. I'm working on a big project that you'll all hopefully see.
OOU to Gamer; LATG ended recently I think. I'm going to go read the last post later.
OOU to Game; Sorry I was so annoying. I was going through a very depressed period, especially for me.

Splont (Water Planet)

Evolution has finally fully formed gills here, and so the creatures here now were able to flourish, without the worry of going up for air every few minutes. The Speedfish began looking for food away from the Cuddlefish, and fed on small groups of slinks and pinks which had not evolved much beyond being able to float along the water's surface and gulp in air. The Cuddlefish's language was devoloped, thier brains were developed, and they could feel emotion. So, with everything about being an animal behind them, they began to build. They built simple huts, made from a few rocks and plants, and then they began wearing clothes. They just entangled water plants around them at first, but as the years progress, they learned to use thier stumpy fingers to weave plants together into useful skirts, "Hats", shirts and even used rocks to make necklaces. The clothes covered them so they could not be seen by each other, but they did not cover them from being touched by the cold. Like on rainy days when the water shook and the surface trembled.

Over the next few centuries, they began to make sturdy stone houses. They would file pebbles into the right shape by scraping them against big rocks. They would then use a sticky substance from a large plant that grew in abundance near where they lived to stick them together. They made a door out of, you guessed it, plants, also glued together with the sticky substance. When the currents were fast or a storm was blowing against the surface, the water inside the houses remained still. The Cuddlefish developed farming, cooking, schools, everything they needed. Everything was perfect.

for a little while


Mantell (LATG creatures are here)

as you can imagine, the Fadine were terrified! They were happy at the same time because they had been sucked into the ship just before they would have died, but they surveyed thier new surroundings. The original planet Mantell was a lava planet, with a few large islands in the coldest areas on the planet. These areas were where all the life lived. They looked around, and couldn't find the lava ocean anywhere! This new Mantell had giant fissures in the planet's crust. There were canyons, some more then two miles deep, that had rivers of magma whizzing through at the bottom.
The Fadine had not come here alone. The Glowers were here. Glowers are small bio-luminescent butterflies. They start off as catterpillars and metamorphosize just as any other butterflies. The Glowers are sentient, and divided into two factions. The faction that lives with the Fadine in tribal villaiges, and the Faction the build hives, in which they have invented electricity, vehicles, and other things.

The largest of the Glowers hives seems to be here, but the many other hives, all part of the "Glower Empire" must have perished with Mantell I or Mantell II.

The Original Mantell was, as said, a lava planet, and the second Mantell was a very hot moon. The Fadine and Glowers were moved to Mantell II by a spaceship, possibly the same one that took them here. It picked up all the hives it could, but missed a few. Once they were deposited on the moon, they started to die. The Spaceship returned after just one week, but half of thier tribe was already dead. It hurriedly picked them up, and took plant species from Mantell. That solar system went through Supernova.

The leader of the only clan left flew as high as he could and called. Thier allied clan did not respond, and neither did anyone else. He somehow knew Mantell I was gone, and all the other clans had gone with it. They were alone.


LATG Universe

Every star, every planet, every galaxy died. Everything was gone, and a great void was left. Accept for one star system. Sometimes there are strange inexplicable events. People call them miracles. An inexplicable miracle happened, and the universe survived. A twin star system, with a moon, a gas giant, and a lava planet.







I'm back and annoyingly energetic as ever!

Sorry about double posting, but didn't put it in my last post because that's so long you guys probably will just skim it.

Anyway, Gamer, In Life After The Universe (Which looks awesome BTW) they're bringing back the Ploners, and they said they're controlled by you. Are you joining or something?

OOC/U: Welcome back, Wizard. Hopefully, you'll be here at least once a week. The project though sounds interesting.
OOC/U to Wizard: I saw LATU, though haven't read it. I have posted in the LATU OOC though. I think I'm going to return there at some point, once I have time to catch up in it. I am not sure about the Ploners as much, but if I do return, I will be a different race for sure: the Clay Beings.
OOC/U to Wizard: No problem on the past though, at least the depression is over.
OOC: I usually don't skim stories, and this time wasn't an exception.
IC/U:

It was mostly coincidence that the sight had indeed been one in the past, as inevitability made it. But the reason it wasn't completely, was because there was a Form slightly influencing the thoughts of the maker. As the civilizations had advanced so far, they had made a device which found and detected such tiny energies, and they had noticed that one was in there kind. It seemed like there was some grand plan to it, but was there? The memories of the Forms were limited, and their reactions were often extremely specific. The fact these led to what they did made the life wonder. But it was still unclear, and it might never be clear if it was or not.

At around the same time, the militaristic civilization had also joined in the universal exploration, and to its surprise, despite the fact over 80% of the universe was mapped, only three sentient races had been found including their own.

After a couple of years, the rest of the universe was mapped, a new physics model seemed to explain how there could be more than one universe, but it remained incomplete. Beyond the universe apparently was impossible, as there was literally nothing there. Or so it seemed. A ship traveling into it could travel no further. The energy Forms never went that far, because they traveled too slow to do so, but one of the last remaining mysteries was that. The other main one was why they were there in the first place. Was it just physics, was there any more to it? No answer.

But it wasn't over, not even close, as they figured with all they knew, perhaps the best thing to do was to create and spread life, so it could join them in the otherwise empty universe. Billions of planets were seeded with the chemicals for life, of all different kinds that were understood. In other words, carbon-based life. No other forms besides the energy were thought possible, and to an extent, they weren't... yet.
