I asked ChatGPT about orbiting a blackhole. These are the main difficulties according to it:

Gravitational Forces: Black holes have incredibly strong gravitational fields. To maintain a stable orbit, a planet would need to be positioned at a safe distance where the…

On the topic of time telling, since a blackhole would probably only block light from stars behind it, that would allow them to measure days, because the visibility of stars would fluctuate on a daily basis.

Okay. I have no idea whether a planet could safely orbit a blackhole.

These are the main technical difficulties I was thinking of:

• Planets are warmed by light from the star they orbit.
• Plants need light to photosynthesis, and animals need plants to eat. (You could replace all plants with fungi, which don’t need light…

@highscribeofaetherium

So, it orbits a star so far away that they can’t even see it? And there are no other stars near enough to be seen? I’m not sure if it would even be possible for a planet to be orbiting a star that was far enough away that it couldn’t even be seen, but idk.

I have the same problem on Ildin, since people live underground. I…[Read more]

Cool! So is he already with Nahim? Or are you going to RP with him separately?

“No. I’m ready.”

What’s Trade Tongue?

That’s all I have for now.

Since you brought up languages, what are we saying for those? Are they all automatically able to subconsciously speak English? (From my understanding, Trade Tongue is English, correct?) My characters don’t speak English, because it…[Read more]

Ellis

Oh, really? said Conviction sarcastically. Why would she think that?

Ellis was thinking the same thing but didn’t day it out loud.

“Well,” he said to Szabrin. “In my world, we have one too. Only half the time though. If it works the same here, it will probably set in a few hours.”

@highscribeofaetherium

Ellis

Ellis raised an eyebrow.

“What? You mean the sun?”

She had spoken of “darkness.” Did her world have no sun?

@highscribeofaetherium

Ellis

Darkness? What was she talking about?

Conviction said they were in another realm. Was it possible that she was from yet another separate world.

“Well, as much as I would like to figure this out, I have some answers to find,” he said. “You can stay or follow. Just don’t get in the way.”

He started towards the palace again.

@princesachronicle22 @beth-torres

Okay. You can put those characters wherever you want. Nobody has interacted with Snake yet, but that doesn’t mean you have to.

@rae

You can go next in our group.

Ellis

If she didn’t recognize the name ‘Percaro,’ then she probably didn’t know about Árvendor at all.

“You…[Read more]

@rae

Ellis would just think she’s being polite. In real life, it used to be normal to call someone you didn’t know well by their last name. If Rin’s culture is the same she might actually call him by his first name, thinking it’s his last name, which he might find weirder.

@highscribeofaetherium

Ellis

“Imitated a bird,” Ellis repeated slowly.

Yeah, said Conviction. You know, completely normal things!

Ellis narrowed his eyes, wondering if she was making fun of him. She seemed serious.

“Thae Shi?” he asked. “Are you Sa Li?” Her hair was dark enough, but her skin seemed too light. But the Sa Li weren’t neces…[Read more]

@highscribeofaetherium

Ellis studied her suspiciously for a moment, then sheathed Conviction.

“I would like to know the same thing,” he said, crossing his arms. “I’m Ellis Percaro.” He glanced up at the roof she had fallen from. “How did you get up there in the first place.”

@trailblazer

I’m not a mystery expert, but I do enjoy them on the occasions I’ve read them. (Although that mainly includes Sherlock Holmes and a couple of Edgar Allen Poe stories.) I would be completely clueless creating a plot for one, so I can’t help much, but I think it’s a cool idea.

@highscribeofaetherium

Ellis

Ellis raised his sword as someone on a nearby roof shouted something. It was a young woman with long dark hair. He was pretty sure she hadn’t been there before.

“Who are you?” he demanded.

@highscribeofaetherium @keilah-h

That’s fine with me.

@highscribeofaetherium

Up to 3 per person is allowed. (We have 7 not 6, though.)

Ariac

“Then maybe you lack self-preservation instincts,” Ariac snapped manifesting another sword in his other hand. “My patience is running out. You better explain what you want with us, or. Get. Out. Now.”
