I stand on the edge of the harbour wall, where everything is grey. The sky and the sea merge into each other, no horizon line to tell me where the world stops. The waves crash against the concrete wall I stand on, and some of the anger ebbs from me. The sea has always helped soothe my temper, even when the waves are at their worst. A few snowflakes fall around me, but they dissolve as soon as they hit the water. It takes a lot more than that to turn the sea to ice, the salt in the water fights back against Borga’s influence. Maybe another spirit controls it, and doesn’t like to share, maybe it’s simple chemistry. I know Rico will be following close behind me. He doesn’t seem like the type to give up easily, which is probably for the best. He wants me to go train with him, with others like me - as if I could stand them. I can barely stand myself some of the time. And to leave my brother behind, go out on my own. No. I’ve managed this long here, changing would only make things
Rico lowered his head as the snow drove at his eyes. At least the storm’s sudden arrival suggested he was going the right way. Solid grey clouds had swept into the clear, summer sky as he approached the beach, matching the grey of the sea stretching out beyond the concrete shell of the harbour. Sean had suggested that his sister might come here to settle herself, after their disastrous first meeting, but he hadn’t quite believed it’d be that easy. Looking at the small, grey tokota standing at the far edge of one of the harbour’s curved concrete outer walls, partially hidden by the waves crashing up against the barrier, he realised that simply knowing where she was didn’t help. He was going to have to walk out there, and with the growing storm where sea and sky blurred together into a solid expanse of grey only relieved by the snow and waves, both of which seemed determined to attack the harbour wall, that wasn’t going to be easy. But he had a new recruit to fetch, and he wasn’t going
While the little robots trundling around the forested valley hadn't reacted to the tokotas approach, the horned horses did not seem pleased to see the stranger coming. Lavaeolus was still waiting at the top of the mountains which sheltered the valley, looking down as Kirima, Tasha and Helena approached the horses, trying their best not to seem like stalking predators. Helena stopped the trio when they were getting close to the horses, so there were two or three body lengths between them. The tokotas looked between the horses and the robots, not sure if either were going to understand them beyond seeing them as predators, but figuring it was worth the trip. "We are peaceful visitors," Tasha said, trying to avoid showing too much of her teeth just in case. The robots didn't respond, continuing to circle the horses, paying more attention to the trees (which a few were carefully pruning) than the tokotas. The horses looked between each other, then one moved forward. "What brings you

Lost Sons - Firework Fiasco
Navigating Bemahrii could be tricky at the best of times. Toktna New Year was not those, and certainly not when Illyria, Cambiata, Carnation, Rex and Rupert were trying to track down Iljar, who'd come in to celebrate (and enjoy the free food which was on every street corner, and given out from all the cafes during the party) and then ended up lost and panicked when the fireworks started going off. And, unfortunately, when a 75% dire started to panic, he made it everyone else's problem as well, with reports coming in as quickly as the tokotas could follow up on them of Iljar racing through crowds of human children, knocking some of them down, overturning long tables set up in the streets for eating, as well as racing through an area set up for crafting. At least that meant he was now easy to track, as the tables had been set up with enough glitter to make fireworks cards for as many children as wanted them, of whichever species, so the dire was now trailing multicoloured glitter behind

Show Your Heart - Summer Heat
It was far too hot. A heatwave had snuck up on Coastal Tyonek, turning the Anniversary Celebrations into tokotas lying in the shade panting, or hiding under the boardwalk, dipping their paws in the sea and looking at the bonfire with an expression of disbelief that anyone had thought this was a good idea to set up. A whole host of activities were arranged along the beach, but most of them were being ignored in favour of staying cool. Teasly was still enjoying herself, even if only because she'd found a section of deeper water under the boardwalk where she could mostly just lie in the sea, looking back onto the beach at the various entertainments with an expression of longing. Rex had found a space in the waters beside her, hiding in the shade from the sun which turned his black coat into a heat sink, alongside Cambiata who was similarly suffering from the heat due to her larger size. Caweys was still trying to both enjoy herself and keep her fur pristine, so had settled for lounging
Karhu was back to her usual, excessively cheerful self now that she was on solid ground again, and the prospect of needing to round up raptors for study wasn't interfering with that. She'd got a couple of the other tokotas to help - Carnation and Cambiata as muscle, just in case the raptors decided to fight back, while Illyria and Rupert were along to help with speed. Rex was strange, in that he was also capable of being a raptor, but that had already helped Dr Mitchel work out how high the fences needed to be on the catch pen so the raptors couldn't just leap back out of it again. Karhu hadn't waited for long after the pen had been set up to head off in search of raptors - she rarely had patience, and particularly not when there was adventure and excitement to be had. Cambiata and Carnation were left trailing behind her, while Rupert and Illyria only just managed to catch up with her as she left the research camp and headed out into Fosbir's wilds in search of raptors. Rex had been

How to stop deviantArt Crashing/Lagging (2021)
UPDATE: FIX HAS BEEN FOUND THAT NEGATES THE NEED TO CONSTANTLY RE-BLOCK DA-CHAT-WORKER WHEN IT UPDATES!!! Please read through the step-by-step and block the new line of code as necessary! Okay, so I haven't seen a proper full step-by-step for this anywhere but I HAVE seen lots of info titbits and fellow dA users complaining about the immense amount of overheating that deviantArt enacts on their poor computers. So I am throwing this journal together quickly to help anyone else prevent dA from breaking their computers, bc the staff sure don't seem concerned with making their site functional for you! Please note before we start that this fix will disable the 'chat' feature of the website (it is the source of the problem, so it's one or the other here unfortunately) TL;DR VERSION FOR ANYONE WHO ALREADY KNOWS HOW TO USE uBLOCK ORIGIN: Block this script - https://static.parastorage.com/services/da-chat-worker/*.*.*/app.bundle.min.js --- STEP 1: Download uBlock Origin.

Hello everybody! I've always wanted to do some sort of tokota advent calendar, so I am giving it a go. I figured that October has enough going on with the Tokoween event and December already has the official advent and at least one other well put together player hosted one, so I would like to do one this November! I had more things going on irl in October than I had anticipated so I'm not as prepared as I'd like, but I'm going to take this as far as I can! Here we go! This is a free raffle style advent for members of the Tokotas ARPG. There are no prerequisites to participate, just reply to my comment each day to be entered into the daily raffle. You will need to comment each day to be entered into each raffle. I will choose a winner each day using RNG. You can only win once. Many of the prizes will be designed genos with everything required to upload that design. (If the design requires a SPW and a small item, I will provide them at upload.) Because I am not an admin and do not

I've decided I'd like to try moving as many UTs as possible onto black bases, as that makes it easier to get to any other could you fancy. Also because collecting things is fun. I suspect a number of the UTs just don't exist on black bases, but some of them do and it'd be nice to jump straight through the colours for those. I am interested in: UT slots or genos which I don't have or have slots to at the moment. UT slots or genos which are darker than the ones I have currently - generally only Brown or Black, as Tawny is both easy to get and a pain to breed out. EE black genos, uploads or slots to help move UTs to black. Particularly female ones. Nice black genos or uploads to breed black UTs out to so I don't totally ruin lineages. Things I can offer: Slot trades - see My Tokotas. I'm working on tiering for a slot shop/noting which ones are off limits, for the moment feel free to enquire. If there's one you're very interested in which doesn't have AoAs, let me know - I can go do
Please comment here if you'd like a slot to one of my tokos moved to Tokotna. Just comment with the slot perm, I'll reply back with the slots and delete the old one once you're OK with them (or its been a week since I sent you the Tokotna slot). I'll keep a screenshot of the slot perm in case anything goes wrong, and advise you to do the same.
Sales are FCFS, with 1 image a week expected to be done and submitted to Tokocenter.
