[Ambidextrous]

Kli heals him with a minor miracle, and calls to him from the top of the Tree.

[Kilojoule Proton]

(Kli: -0 Essence)

Unfortunately, the fledgling is still unable to fly.

[Ambidextrous]

Kli frowns and asks the other Hummingbirds to carry the fledgling to him. He directs them to the spot where the fledgeling has fallen.

[Kilojoule Proton]

The other Hummingbirds eagerly bring the fledgling to you.

Tick 07.5: Impatience and independence

Donations for the upcoming mortal creation project, stored by the council, have reached 13 Essence. While this may seem like a lot, it will likely leave some gods unhappy unless they can protoype freely. It is not yet clear what will happen as a result of that.

Grauel has created an unnamed Angel of Hunger! It has begun a campaign of inducing a village of Gruen to experience psychological hunger without actual hunger, which has led to the desperate consumption of trees. This was later discovered to toughen Gruen skin and allow the growth of significant thorns. In another place, The Light has raised a great Prophet to spread law, social order, writing, and justice. Kli has appeared to the Hummingbirds of Balance, and, subverting expectations, they seem rather unbalanced at the moment. This is somewhat remedied by their obvious care for a fallen fledgling, whom Kli rescued and healed. Varee has invented animal husbandry by supplying his Minio-ons with Flea-on giant aphids, which Anath followed up by creating Cave Noxen, a massive, pale reptilian species excellent for riding and food, and the Burrowers Beneath, a vermine tunneler deeper than any mortal has dared to go. Khaziraad's Golems have discovered a planet-puncture created and maintained by Khaziraad himself containing a continuous stream of glassy magma, and Azem has helped a random young gem dragon with obtaining a sufficiently large hoard to attract a mate. The Light has tried (unsuccessfully) to convert a few Night Elves. Some of the Elves speculate that such bright lights can only come from the Void.

Meanwhile, a Mountwyrm trade mission has successfully established cordial relations and a trade route between Mountwyrm and Gruen villages. Some Gruen join the traders on their way back to their village in search of adventure, shinies, and, most of all, exotic food.

There has been much discussion about the influence of the Void this half-tick. Suspicions are high, but the whispers from the Void seem to have quieted down.

These are all subject to addition, removal, and change by you. They can effect changes in the game's core rules (mechanics), administrative laws (voting requirements, seniority privilegs, &c.) or the natural rules (light does not exist, gravity is repulsive, giant animals can fly like birds, &c.).
Administrative:
An active player is defined as a player who has posted within the thread within the last two (2) UTC days.

A bill must be supported by at least 50% of active players to pass if unopposed.

A bill must achieve 60% support in order to pass if opposed.

Players may flame the host if he has been inactive for at least two (2) UTC days.

Council resolutions will not be counted until at least a major tick has passed.

Current sphere ideas are Rulership, Hospitality, Air, and Healing.

[Varee]

I guess I will donate one essence on the condition non of them look alike.

[MedicInDisquise]

"I will donate another essence, if I am allowed to give them the knowledge to paint and draw."

[Ambidextrous]

Kli smiles once more, and addresses every single one of the Hummingbirds.

He tells them that he understands their concerns; they wish to always feel the freedom of having the wind under their wings, to grow and spread themselves throughout the world, to never have their lives run short, and more.

He pauses, then asks them what the meaning of Balance is.

He makes sure that his tone of voice is not scolding, but rather like an eager teacher seeking responses from his own students.

[Andres]

"I will donate another essence, if I am allowed to give them the knowledge to paint and draw."

You're allowed to give them whatever you want so long as it's reasonable and you donate Essence.

You have me as 20/20 again.

EDIT: MedicInDisquise isn't listed in the Players spoiler in the second post. How many more active gods have yet to donate?

[Detoxicated]

Throw several hardships like dryness and scarcity of food towards the Luminee so they develop a sense of self-preservation.

[Kilojoule Proton]

07.5 mini-update updated for donations, Essence, and stuff. I'll make sure I write the next one before I get too sleepy and end up cp'ing tickly/tick006 tickly/tick0075 or something.

A young Hummingbird: "To always get what you want!"
Another young Hummingbird: "When this tree isn't falling?"
A Hummingbird: "When we attack claw-birds for wanting to eat us?"
An elderly Hummingbird: "To be brave enough to accept death as a necessary part of the cycle."
Another Hummingbird: "Standing on one foot?"
Yet another Hummingbird: "When we sacrifice something to get something else or the other way around?"
Still another Hummingbird: "When we fly in place like no lesser bird can?"

How do you respond?

Also, The Light has not donated, but to be fair, donation is not mandatory.

(The Light: -1 Essence)

You send a severe drought to the Luminee villages. A few dozen die and those who are alive pray to you for help. Their work ethic and Worship Quality has been strengthened.

[Vgray]

Azem creates 300 dog-sized spiders, whose webs glow golden when the sun hits them just right.

[Kilojoule Proton]

(Azem: -1 Essence)

Azem: You expand 300 golden silk orb-weavers to dog-size and, with a bit of Essence, allow them to survive and spin at that size.

[MedicInDisquise]

Last but not least for this Tick, Artisanii creates a statue of himself somewhere in the mountains. It is adorned plainly, but it contains a few books from the Divine Library. This is his shrine.

She also creates a small group of 30 humanoids named the Muses.


Fluff for the Muses:

Spoiler (click to show/hide)

 30 Humanoids who are extremely Hardy and have full sentience and sapience. They know of me, and communicate with me through art. They live a life of creating Works for themselves and Artisanii, adorning the Shrine to look better and glorify Artisanii better. The Muses live general long lives, but they almost never stray from the Shrine and their homes.

In a nutshell, The Muses are hard to kill, long living, humanoids tasked with taking care of Artisanii's shrine and glorifying Artisanii by adding more to it. They have Free Will, but they have only one sin: Damage the Shrine in any way. If this happens, the one responsible will be punished harshly by Artisanii.

[Kilojoule Proton]

(Artisanii: -1 for the shrine, but on which world?)

(Artisanii: -4 for the Muses)

You create a statue of a brain flanked by the two masks of drama and 30 poweful, differentiated Muses. Immediately upon creation, they each begin to specialize in a different method of producing art. Some day, they (and you, in turn) will be revered as divine inspirations responsible for causing the production of art everywhere.

(Note: The Muses are essentially angels both in function and cost. The difference at this point is mostly in the name.)
