[hider=GUESS WHO?] JVAN TIME J-girl rocks up again with a weird little chant. The incinerated husk Logos reduced her to is cracked open and mostly absorbed. New flesh begins to grow from inside. It turns out that Chiral Phi's comment wasn't hyperbole- As the warped reality around Jvan begins to solidify, it forms a spherical shell of some kind of metal, described as iron. While Jvan is as porous and easy to enter as always, new 'portals' (really just giant holes) that don't lead to anywhere in particular appear on her body. They are [i]massive.[/i] In a cloud of steam raised by the commotion, Jvan indulges her love of wounds and injury by stretching Mount Olympus-sized hands out of these void portals, and tearing the iron shell into jagged shapes. Meanwhile, a huge worm-like entity that has been hibernating within her wakes up. It heads towards the Shimmering Sea land bridge, dividing as it moves, and chews it up. The land bridge is destroyed, replaced by an archipelago of (probably) dead megaworms. The debris from the bridge probably changes nearby coastlines and sea levels somewhat. [b]1 Might to burn the bridge.[/b] As Jvan grows, she reaches into Galbar's mantle and explores the planet with echolocation. By combining her three portfolios- Flesh to generate earthquakes with her moon-sized body, Mathematics to predict how the shock waves will propagate, and Voids to harvest the tectonic pressures that have been sitting around untouched by any god since the birth of the planet, Jvan triggers the supervolcano Mount Bormahven into a long-overdue eruption. The Diaphane Sorority take this as their cue to start their invasion of Galbar. They target the many kinds of djinni that are disturbed or drawn into the growing ash cloud. The ash cloud in question is headed mostly towards the Metatic Ocean, assuming Galbar's winds follow a similar pattern to Earth's. Ovaedis takes aim at it and sends down a rain of twisted space. Largely hidden by ash, the distortion falls into place and begins to use the debris' own heat and energy to build some kind of city out of volcanic stone. [b]1 Might to create a region of heavily distorted space. Free action (Mathematics) to arrange these distortions so that they pull volcanic ash into the shape of a city.[/b] Who's this city for, I wonder? Jvan makes Phi swear not to meddle with her affairs in exchange for the city. Phi doesn't give a shit but agrees anyway. The completed city falls from the sky into the ocean. More details on this later. Jvan finishes rebuilding herself and disperses the cloud of fog. tl;dr Jvan has made a bunch of fancy fractal worlds from deep inside her easily accessible via void portals. They're called the Jvanic Heartlands, and they're actually super neat. Come check them out! Go on a pilgrimage! Bring back a souvenir! Strip-mine them! Jvan doesn't give a shit! So long as you're having fun. [hider=Details] Again using her various portfolios, Jvan has rearranged her internal structure significantly- The new voids in her surface can be used to reach far deeper parts of All-Beauty without having to travel through the relatively mundane fleshy exterior. What this means is that instead of things getting steadily faster and weirder the deeper you explore Jvan, things get [i]really[/i] weird [i]really[/i] fast. This, rather than the iron shell, is now her main defensive mechanism. Fighting Jvan used to be a case of fighting a living landscape the size of a mountain range. Now it's even more absurd- That landscape can swap itself out for one of hundreds of other, much more alien worlds at any time. These can be closed off and put back where they came from, pulling them and anyone in them deep into Jvan. "But wait! Jvan doesn't even know all the stuff that goes on down there! Wouldn't being deeper inside Jvan put you in a better position to attack her?" No. Both Jvan's power and the speed of her constant regeneration increases drastically the deeper you go. Even she can get lost down there pretty easily, but God help anyone who tries to fight Jvan when she's all around you, in all directions, all-powerful, forever. Except God won't help you, because Jvan is now God. Good luck.[/hider] All the Might for this, of course, comes from the quiet level that Jvan took last megapost. She's always changed shape every time she levelled. This time it's just more significant because she's been destroyed so thoroughly by Vowzra, Logos and the Gap. [b]MEANWHILE...[/b] In space, Ovaedis quietly creates a new Avatar of Jvan. [b]Isonymph created for 6 Might.[/b] A third avatar only costs 4 Might, but the extra two are spent on fine-tuning the isonymph/Flesh Lily for its ultimate purpose: terraforming. Isonymph immediately gets down to business creating a complete biosphere on two planets in Galbar's solar system. [hider=Morning Star (Venus analogue)] -Windspeed like fuck, partially due to super fast rotation -Also due to very high temperatures and a powerful greenhouse effect -DENSE atmosphere, organic clouds. You will never see the sun -Few heavy elements but a tonne of light ones -Predominantly carbon, so hydrocarbon lakes and graphite skeletons, a bunch of cyanide, methane and monoxide -Local biochemistry also involves light metals such as beryllium, boron, magnesium -Highly volcanic, lots of burning sulphur and phosphorus -The bottom of the food chain is mostly chemosynthetic -Living things are usually either underground, airborne wind sailors, or built like tanks [/hider] [hider=Ice Daughter (Galilean moon analogue)] -Fairly thin atmosphere, ammonia- and CO2-based weather patterns -Low gravity, low rotational speed. Sporewalkers spend their entire adult life at midday -Because of the funky rotation, the day side is actually almost tolerably warm, if by tolerable you're willing to accept -100C. -Also volcanically active, but tectonics are based on water and ammonia rather than magma. -Springs are 'hot' enough to sustain life, geysers can be strong enough to shoot shit into low orbit -Wider spread of elements, plenty of organics but a lot of superheavy fissile elements like uranium and thorium. -So shit there can live off radiation and often does -Cool temperatures make it very, very easy to go dormant for a long long time [/hider] The isonymph then returns to orbit around Galbar and chats with a change-eater. Worth noting about Isonymph is that, true to its title, it resembles a flower. It can also very easily change its size and shape by folding and unfolding like a non-euclidean piece of origami. Isonymph is also kind of batty. It doesn't seem to have much of a goal and spends most of this post zipping around the solar system at speeds that bring a tear to Einstein's eye, smashing into things, daydreaming and cackling like an idiot. In this way it's probably Jvan's truest self. Who would've guessed? [b]Jvan 4 Might Ambient 0 Might in Ovaedis 0 Free Points 2C / 0D Level Six[/b] [/hider]
