Q&A? In my Chickennaise? It's more likely than you think!

Postby Very Attractive Sharks » Wed Jan 22, 2025 7:27 am

Yep, 'tis I, Chickennaise! Yep, I made a Q&A thread. Yep, I was bored. Yes, I made an alt specifically for this so that I could maintain my pure F7 0-post status.

So, yeah, if you've ever been curious about the weird and unusual Chickennaise lore that I haven't written down yet, here's the thread where you can go hog wild! Maybe you can ask me something I haven't thought about yet, and actually inspire a new piece of Chickennaise lore! (Pat yourself on the back!)

Anyway, I'm gonna go to the gym and draw some art of some sinister-looking Cube Cultists, so I'll be gone for a bit...

So! OOC, it's because it's a silly name that randomly popped into my head. IC, it's because the founders of the nation—Boss Moss, Boss Hoss, and Squishy—first met each other in a Bojangles in Arkansas. Bojangles is a chicken restaurant franchise mostly in the southern United States that I have some fond memories of. It's been a long time since I've left the South, so I haven't been there in a while. I heard it's gone downhill, but what hasn't these days? :(

Chickennaise, dear Chickennaise. How does the Cube of Sadness function?
COGITO ERGO REGO

Just a network of arcologies governed by a sapient supercomputer, dedicated to preventing humanity from destroying itself.
Surrender to the Machine and rejoice, for you shall be freed from yourself. Paradise awaits those who follow the Mother Computer.
The more depressed/cynical I am, the more my beliefs match my nation.
Transhumanism is a moral imperative. If I wish to become a machine, I shall do so when the technology is available. You cannot stop me.
Don't get in my way.

Aight, so it's like this: the Cube hosts a colony of living crystals from an alternate universe with a higher magical potential than our own, and they maintain a tenuous connection to their home reality. The Cube levitates simply through force of will; the crystals demand that the Cube obey their native laws of physics, and it submits.

However, there's a cost: since our reality has a lower magical potential than the crystals', they need a source of supplemental energy. They end up harvesting the life force of the Cube's caretakers, the Magi of the Cube. A Magus of the Cube isn't hired or chosen, per se; the ominous hum the Cube emits sort of synchronizes with the subconscious of those susceptible to it, and they become devoted to the Cube and the crystals for the rest of their lives. Once a supplicant passes the Magi's initiation ritual, they get some really swanky robes that cover the eyes and some facial tattoos.

The Cube leaves its mark quickly: the Magus' skin or fur takes on an ashen pallor, they lose fat and muscle, becoming almost skeletal, and their bones become brittle. However, the Cube grants the Magi life-extending succor from the psychic suffering of those imprisoned there. Also, robots can become Magi, causing their batteries to degrade and their servos and processors to function erratically.

The Cube is also staffed by biomechanical servitors who were once human, and are twisted into profane forms by the will of the crystals, getting metal limbs and ceramic plates grafted to their malformed (perfected?) bodies. These servitors are taken from the ranks of Chickennaise's worst criminals.

Thanks for the questions! I'm going to a friend's house now, so let some questions pile up!
