I think we decided to go with chlorine comet because we couldn't confirm that a salt comet would break down into chlorine.

>>21210244
As much as we can, I guess. Or at least until people pile in.

Would it be possible to ditch the chlorine aspect all together? Even in pool water, chlorine is an irritant, will damage your hair and skin from constant exposure, and would make the air poisonous.

Not to mention that enough chlorine to fill the oceans would likely permanently fry the ecosystem and destroy and chances of having your dream like, partially submerged water wonderland. The sky wouldnt even be blue any more.

Also, giant shit from space hitting the planet means debris kicked into the lower atmosphere and causing an ice age.

Just some shit to think about...

this is stupid

>>21210297
That's the idea actually. The ecosystem IS fried, and the chlorine killed all the people. The kemonomimi were specifically created to be able to survive in the planet that was now essentially inhospitable to humans.

If we can think of another way to get an extinction level event along with keeping the water extremely crystal clear, sure.

The whole chlorine thing was pretty much a stopgap for when we started to SCIENCE.

>>21210326
Oh right, forgot it was still around. That could take a bit.

>>21210297

The reason we have the chlorine is so that the algae is all dead, which would kill off all ocean life. Also, this setting takes place centuries after the comet hit

You do realize that algae stand for ~98% percent of the worlds oxygen production, right?

So at this point the earth is a barren rock.

>>21210297
This. There's no reason you can't have a post-apocalyptic (but idyllic-looking) water world, but space rocks is bad news.

Maybe some kind planetary collapse, where the surface area of the planet decreases, but the amount of water stays largely the same? It would have to be big though, like "holy shit what just happened to the upper mantle" big. You'd wind up with radically altered geography (maybe even new continental plates, idunno i et no geologian) and drastically higher water levels, without all the "oh noes poison vapor everywhere".

>>21210398
No problem, it's all chill.

>>21210378
Well, if you would read the first thread, we've kinda hand waved green plants onto land, sponges in the sea, and basically remade the ecosystem.

This is actually fairly simple to resolve. Plague. Super diseases ravage ecosystems, you only need to take out one or two key species to ripple up and ruin everybody's day.

Now then, back to aerial transport. Are city-fleets in the sky feasible?

Also, what's the technology level here? I'm think that we should be using "Scrap-punk" (if that's even a thing), or as it's called in the Star Wars saga "The Used Future".

Also, as a source of renewable energy, I think Gasification is plausible.

http://tvtropes.org/pmwiki/pmwiki.php/Main/UsedFuture
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gasification

>>21210378
Yes, which is why we killed a vast majority of all living things.

>>21210413
You don't really get it...
Green plants on land consume more oxygen than they create.
Corals would all be dead.
EVERYTHING would be dead.

The ecosystem would have to start over from scratch again.
It would take billions of years and the end result would have been completely different from what we understand of macro-biology.

Like noted before, the planet wouldn't even be the same, sky wouldn't be blue, etc...

Just make it magic and skip the bad science.

>>21210429
Tech level cataclysm was enough to create genetic hybrids of animals and people, so pretty high.

The problem is that the water renders most tech into scrap. Most of the stuff you see Kemos using is either makeshift, reverse engineered, or simply found in generally good condition.

That's pretty much why they dive. For shinies.

>Are city-fleets in the sky feasible?
No. NO. NO FUCK NO.

Hey, I love that shit as much as the next guy, but in terms of physics it makes complete double anti-backwards-sense. If the average air pressure has magically increased, it is feasible. If there's some magical unobtanium that floatz gud, it is feasible. Otherwise, it is the exact opposite of feasible. Better to just have rusting, towering buildings rising out of the shallows, linked together with poorly constructed iron bridges.

>>21210429
sounds cool, but maybe make all sky cities rusted ruins that are lifeless, corroding away due to the chlorine, but at the same time they have the most precious loot (anti-grav tech, special edition energy drink)

And I think tech should be somewhere between Scrap-punk (waterworld) and clean, nice tech (like the artwork) where they use the above-water "ruins" of the intact self-sustaining resort buildings.

>>21210429
We are looking more towards refurbished flooded metros and ruins exploring rather than floating cities and high technology.

>>21210495
OR the sky cities all fell and are now underwater, but are twice as rusted as everything else (from the corrosive atmosphere THEN the corrosive sea), thus making the anti-grav loot DOUBLE precious

>>21210335
Things can still take place after man is already dead, but there wouldn't be any shit left if it is too long after.

Chlorinated moisture is going to devour all metal and minerals, meaning to skyscraper ruins to build onto. No shinies and lost tech to recover. NO FOOD at all, which either means cannibalism or extinction in a matter of weeks.

Here's what I suggest instead: Global warming happened. Temps skyrocketed overnight and the resulting weather and catastrophes drove mankind to extinction. A few decades later, the powergrids fully fail, as solar panels decay and fall apart.

This causes various labs worldwide to deactivate life support for what was going to be the hottest new trend in luxury and oppulence: kemomimi. Intelligent, genetically engineered, humanoid pets.

Facilities all over the world were producing different kinds by the thousands to meet estimated demands. When these facilities finally break down, hundreds of kemomimi are released into the partially submerged world.

That was sort of the idea. Humanity bunkered down into shelters and bioengineered a few creatures to kickstart the ecosystem and the catgirls to take humanity's place.

Why catgirls? Because mad scientists are pervy old bastards.

In a more grimdark take on it, fighting over resources. Could easily happen in the same world as the bright stuff, just a different area. Gotta have conflict SOMEWHERE for this to be a decent setting to play in.

>>21210473
Fair point. Use magic-science instead of bad science. Mysterious comets crashed flooding the ocean with unknowns. Air is still being produced in deep ocean, where no one lives, by unknowns. Shallow waters that are populated have chlorine clouds that seem to stay in them for reason unkowns.

Yeah, it's a dumb, fetishy setting. But kinda a fun idea if they can make it not fuck-all-retarded-science. Maid RPG is just fetish fuel, and it's rad. For that matter, so is WH40k.

>>21210544

Well, this sort of changes our background. Can't we just do what most people do and just go, "sounds legit enough"?

The Global Warming this is a good idea, but it doesn't lead to crystal clear water and the other stuff. To be honest, the chlorine is mostly a laughable way of rationalizing those pictures that spawned this.

Take all those ideas and add in some line about past mankind creating some sort of hardcore water purifier magic science to help third world countries. After the big floods, this tech ran rampant on its own, purifying the oceans and probably taking out a lot of salt water marine life.

That gives you a crystal clear oceans, cat girls, and no silly chlorine meteor.

Just needed to know where I stand. Just a little more advanced than modern; Hovercrafts, Zeppelins, and Microlights.

What about underwater travel?

B-but I kinda liked the silly, almost pulpy psuedoscience thing we had going on. This is supposed to be a lighthearted setting that plays a little fast and loose with science, not some sort of hard sci-fi post-apocalypse. Closer to a magic-less Adventure Time meets Blue Sub 6 than, say, Mad Max.

>>21210736
For some reason, wormholes have appeared. They spew oxygen.

>>21210746
In the last thread we experimented with the idea that high status divers would have nicer toys. Seaplanes, subs, that kind of stuff that really turns heads and allows them access to nicer sites.

>>21210746
Underwater travel may be a bit more advanced than what they can make, but I'd imagine that they would be smart enough to work one if they found one.

>>21210726
wouldn't change the fact that the atmosphere would be toxic to all forms of life and the asteroid triggering an ice age.

>>21210763
Bam, problem solved.

Help me understand this fellas - what's the purpous of this setting being built? Is it just a project for /tg/ to sink it's teeth into? Is a set-up for a Quest-thread?

My first assumption was that it was due to turn into another Harem Knights series.

captcha: reiveKi sang - Reiveki is the number-one Catgirl Singing Idol in her hometown.

>>21210754
I agree, there really is something cute about the stupidest world extinction event ever.

I mean, let's be serious, a ball of salt/chlorine splits off at Jupiter, hits the poles, and makes a catgirl paradise?

This is 50's level of pulp.

Awesome. Last thread saw the rise of the explanationfags, and now this one is seeing the rise of the outright realismfags. Way to ruin a fun idea, guys.

>>21210783
Its a setting for the purpose of being a setting

>>21210783
>another Harem Knights
Ew, no.
>Singing Idols
Ew, no. If anything, the males are the ones with the free time to become singers. Catgirls are too busy scouring ruins and going toe to toe with kleptomanders

>>21210746
This would be much more doable. Submersibles can go much deeper and can rise and descend faster since they were built to much lower tolerances. Unfortunately, they've been sitting around for a very long time, so they're unlikely to be operable. Individuals are likely to own dive scooters, either for transportation or exploration/scavenging.

>>21210783
It's being made because every time the pictures are posted on /tg/, they derail the threads.
Two threads ago, it got derailed at just the right time when the planets were aligned perfectly, and /tg/ vowed to finally get of it's collective lardass and get shit done and make a FUN setting for FUN without too much explanation and realderp.

That would eliminate any and all clam divers, a staple waterworld career.

>>21210843
>without too much explanation and realderp
Judging by how this thread is going, it would seem something went horribly, horribly wrong.

>>21210832

I see.

On that note - how the fuck do the males get to both have harems and yet be the house-husbands. That shit makes no sense on a sociological level.
The women, being the hunters, are the alpha-members of society. The men, being the at-home softies, are the beta-members of society.
So how does is a Beta allowed multiple Alphas to copulate with? Surely it's the Alphas - who have all the power - that get to have multiple mansausage to play with?

>>21210868
Nobody is stopping you from creating some clams that live in the setting.

We have giant enemy crabs and sponges, after all.

The idea is just to make the water clean, pure, and lacking MOST life.

I'd just leave it at comic book science.

>>21210868
Not all marine life was killed; the human scientists managed to modify a few species to survive the changes in the water. Now, these are the same scientists that made the nekonomimi, so obviously the sealife isn't exactly as it was before they scientists got to it... but it's close enough. Shit like giant crabs, etc.

>>21210878
Because males are only about 5% of the population.
They ARE bioengineered for lonely nerdsa after all.
Market needs far more females than males.

>>21210878
The men are obviously the Alphas. The women work their asses off to win a man, and that's if he even cares to look at her since he's neck deep in cat tits.

Men are more scholarly, so I assume they have some status. Kemo children probably age fairly quickly as well, I guess.

>>21210868
Same here, and I'm the No. NO. NO FUCK NO guy.

I just want to explore the submerged ruins of Times Square without having to worry about full thickness chemical burns.

>>21210878
Low birth rate of males to females. Its like reverse predators up in here. The women go out searching for shinies to bling themselves up with and little trinkets to gift to those they dote on in return for being able to dote on them a little more intensely, ifyouknowwhatimean. As such, males hold the curious position of being both a valuable commodity and a housewife type role. Think about peacocks - the males may be the pretty ones, but whos really in charge of that mating ritual?

We're also looking at maybe 2.5*10^15 m^3 of water from somewhere.

That's 2.5 exatonnes. A block of water 136 km along each side.

Proper realism will just have to fuck off.

Well, we did kinda give everything an near immunity to chlorine last thread, save for large concentrations of gas that need masks.

If you're going into a hostile environment like that, I assume rubber suits and full cycle rebreathers would be popular.

Does chlorine disperse? I mean - if it disappears into near-nothingness after it's done the damage, wouldn't that please both the people who like AND dislike the idea?

I'm about as scientifically knowledgable as a potato, so don't rage too hard at this idea if it's unthinkable.

It's no longer that bad. Most of it has been contained/processes/absorbed by now.

It's somewhat more than swimming pool level still. Our fluffy tailed protagonists can more than handle it.

>>21211023
Fun fact.
Chlorine corrodes rubber.
It's one hell of a gas...

>>21211026
The idea was that humanity created a race of neo-humans with a higher tolerance to chlorine as well as air/water scrubbers that stop everything from being straight up dead all the time. However, a lot of their work needed time more than anything else so by the time they were able to work out the kinks, it was too late for proto-humans, meaning the few remaining pockets of Earless slowly died out as the catgirls inherited the earth.

>>21211030
The full ice cap melting would get you 80m all over the world, so it's feasible I suppose. It'd need immense climate change just to get the 5m I'm assuming.

>>21211070
Best make the dive quick then. Speed run those ruins.

>>21211030
Not even close. Google "if the ice caps melted map". Florida's gone, northern Russia is fucked, and there's some new bays and shit, but that's about it.

Like I said earlier, you'd need to decrease the surface area of the Earth. Or maybe just say "lol, we started assembling H20 molecules out of the air and accidentally left the machine on".

>>21211020
You say that like it'd be a bad thing.
Considering how rare proper males are, I figure that'd probably be a welcome addition to many

>>21211081
Well the original reason for all the chlorine in the water was a super-salt meteor split and hit both the ice caps, melting them and disolving into the sea.

>>21211119
Don't forget that the meteor was also made up of ice, adding to the water increase.

>>21210736
He's only yelling about a lack of oxygen in the chlorinated interpretation. That much chlorine means a metric fuckton of evaporated chlorine in the air, which means everything is fucked. Permanently.

Global warming, out of control water purifier, and lab/factories releasing catgirls a few decades after extinction means everything is more or less kosher and that science majors and fact checkers won't get hung up on the realism aspect of it all.

It needs to be a meteor made from element X, ice, chlorine, and blue dye.

>>21211119
Doesn't increased salinity decrease the temperature of the water? (since it can't freeze anymore) If the temperature drops enough, couldn't that cause climate change?

>>21211119
That would make the sea into the dead sea, though. No diving here, unless our kemonomimi get a great deal more dense than their creators.

How about we move away from the whole chlorine fiasco?

Weapons. How would they look like?

Harpoons? Tridents? Spear Guns?

We have the Arc Gun (made by Angles Eersinfur) so that handles some ranged crowd control.

Hell, what does the Arc Gun do? How does it even work?

What armor would our divers need to survive a particularly nasty dive? Swimsuits and snorkels don't go a long way...

You know, for all the people disliking chlorine as the chemical of choice, we could always say the meteor was filled with ice and some sort of unobtanium that killed off algae but not land plants and poisoned a lot of other animals but not all of them, including all primates, especially humans. Scientists study this element and blah blah blah, catgirls are made resistant to its effects, animal life adjusts accordingly, and photosynthetic fish now take the role of algae in the now very sparse food chain.

Well the northern ice cap would reform the next winter, but the antarctic, once relieved of ice mass might rebound upwards meaning the thick layers of ice could take millions of years to reform.

Keeping the ecosystem going would be nigh impossible. Almost all life present would have to be engineered to be more resistant and then released once the worst of the disaster was over.

Comic book science again, really... more likely would be a nuclear winter & land wiped clean by tsunami.

>>21210787
Unrustle your jimmies. We are only arguing against some of the sillier ideas because they wouldn't work at all in the way people think.

Welcome to Angles Eersinfur's Arc Gun. We hope you'll enjoy using it underwater as you do above.

>>21211250
Ah, and I also see a MkIII "Donut" grenade.

Guys.

How about instead of a chlorine-salt asteroid? Why not just a saltwater comet? Boom, it melts, most of it's just salt water frozen in the depths of space, and it provides plenty of water, some salt, everyone is happy, and there's a reasonable handwave for why everything is underwater.

Honestly, with the way the environment works, you're still going to see a whole lot of ecological devastation at least for some areas. Any fresh-water niches are going to be wrecked hard if they suddenly find themselves part of a world spanning ocean after all.

So fresh-water ecosystems are going to be limited to higher altitudes and such, where they aren't being interfered with a much. Good news for mountain trout, bad news for catfish.

>>21211235
Ehh... Feels like too much. Look at the pictures that inspired this. Life is simple, minimal, and reasonably low tech. Let's not make "Fallout: catgirl waterworld"

>>21211273
True. They still need tazer guns for the robots, though.

>>21211259

It's called the 'Donu't because when it explodes, it releases a chocolate-like cloud of smoke/ink that blots out the area. Really useful underwater.

File: 1350772443793.jpg-(120 KB, 726x644, tiki 1.jpg)

Will there be tikiforged?

>>21211270
The only problem is clear water, of course.

Unless the comet also has an aggregate that clears up water or something.

>>21211270
>chlorine asteroid
dude, that's perfect
we can introduce a shit-ton of chlorine from nowhere, and its still legit

>>21211304
I think >>21211161 and >>21211177 had the right idea. If you're gonna use handwavey science, just go all the way and have some mysterious space element Handwaveonium be to blame.

>>21211304
What exactly makes clear water clear? And I don't mean clear like tap water, I mean that light-blue "clear" tint we all love.

My HARD SCIENCE organ wants to know.

>>21211332
Chlorine, of course.

Why do you think public pools are so crystal clear?

...That and human urine.

>>21211304
Keep combining ideas. Saltwater ice asteroids, many small ones, plus global warming, plus out of control water purifier.

And for fuck's sake, pay attention to the people trying to explain that an ocean full of pool chemicals would scald the earth clean of all life, structures, and shit.

>>21211332
No mud or micro organisms

I feel we are drifting into the grimdark. Please recall the core of this endeavour is a group of critter-people having a swim.

>>21211332
Water absorbs the longer (red) wavelengths while letting the shorter penetrate.
This makes all water blue if there's enough to absorb a noticeable amount of red.

Reason that not all water is perfectly clear like tropical paradise water is due to contaminating particles.

>>21211296
Well, there are silicon/salt rock monsters.

It was thought the parts could be used to make robots, or even perhaps reprogram them. RC planes and cars also tied into this, but I forgot how.

The problem is: Just enough chlorine/salt to make it pretty, not enough to KILL EVERYTHING EVER.

Salt-water comet, hint of chlorine, boom, we can have an algae bloom, sorta like a world wide red tide, that died off after a short while, and the ocean started to recover.

This way everyone gets their crystal clear tropical water, people still have enough fish to eat, and the air is breathable.

As long as we avoid going into great and specific detail, there aren't any problems

File: 1350772849778.jpg-(122 KB, 1138x800, tiki 2.jpg)

>>21211374
Yay! Tikitime, motherfuckers!

>>21211380
Actually, this sounds good.

For the wiki, it would be nice to have something like "While the nature of the CATaclysm is still not fully understood, researchers have found that a series of meteor and comet bombardments centered mostly on the poles increased the sea level and the chlorine content of the water. The subsequent red tides and climate change reshaped the world's oceans."

>crystal clear tropical water,

Tropical water, tropical catgirls, tropical adventures.

No explanation required, really.

What tropical cities have nice low-lying metro areas? Cairo? Florida? Australia? India? Thailand?

>>21211380
That works. Maybe we'll be able to get past this silly argument.

Just watch, having proved their point, everyone leaves.

What do we tackle next?

>>21211443
French Riviera?

>>21211463
Economics? Food? I wasn't around in the last thread, so I don't know what we've covered already.

>>21211380
Enough chlorine to visibly effect the world's oceans is STILL TOO MUCH CHLORINE. Seriously, drop the fucking chlorine. Magic space chemicals that fuck up everything is better than trying to rationalize pool chemicals on a global scale.

Fucking chlorine doesn't even work that way.

>>21211485
We got nothing on economics really, but food is mostly hunting/gathering, and scavenging from ruins if I remember right

>>21211485
Those are fine starting points.

Thread should be still up. It's in the OP post. We covered food a bit with cans of old pet food and giant crabs. Beyond that, it's a new world out there.

There's also a sort of large center for divers that acts as a bazaar, inn, and adventure agency led by some guy named Flint Thickmane, a catman with chlorine bleached green hair.

Speaking of which, maybe a tinge of green in your hair marks you as some experienced diver? Lower levels could have more chlorine, hence easier to dye your hair.

>Economics?
Salvage and shiny things. Not high activity - it's a lazy, easygoing life.

>Food?
They're omnivores. Birds, small animals, fruit and veg. Salvaged cans and energy drinks. Automated machines left over from civilization, still running.

>>21211511
Can we just say it's fucking setting magic?

The oceans are now a pool. Shit lives because DM fiat. Kemonodudes don't care since they're partially immune.

Is it really hard to suspend your disbelief on a part of the setting that is relatively inconsequential when handwaved and a means to the end? This isn't hard scifi. This is animal eared girls on ruin adventures.

Is anyone else getting a sort of Blue Submarine No. 6 vibe from all this?

>Food
Tropical paradise foods
Tons of fruits, fish and shellfish.

A good luau would need sheep but I don't think we have the pastoral cultue for that...

>>21211563
Hell, do the same thing we did with the whole EVERY RACE HAS TO BE REPRESENTED came up last thread. Don't like it? DM it different and stop wasting time.

Let's focus on the actual fluff of the setting, not what needs to be done to get to some stupid level of clear tropical water.

>>21210554
>this is pretty much just your fetish fuel
>LELELEL CATGIRLS AND POOL-OCEANS XD XD XD

>>21211574
Lots of us did in the last thread. We came to the conclusion that Zorndyke was once on the council of surviving human scientists that created the Kemonomimi, but was kicked off because he kept trying to inject his sharkgirl fetishes into everything.

>>21211511
I'm not exactly sure about what is going on here, but is it really so bad to just leave it at 'the world is a giant, life-sustaining pool'? There are more outlandish and unrealistic things in plenty of other settings.

>>21211613
Nah, it's just a quibble over details. We're all happy with giant tropical pool, but fucking up while trying to get into the fine details.

Which is why we're just gonna leave it at giant tropical pool and start answering the question of "Well why? How?" with "Well, why not? Because it's fun."

>>21211613
No, its not that bad. but neither side seems happy on giving up, so, yeah.

File: 1350773949990.gif-(544 KB, 300x170, utawarerumono+not+exactly(...).gif)

You guys realise the premise for this setting is the same as Utawarerumono, right?

Atmosphere becomes unbreathable and mankind sciences up some animal-earred people who are somehow able to survive.

>>21211581
>A good luau would need sheep but I don't think we have the pastoral cultue for that...
Should be plenty of sheep left in the Welsh/Scottish mountains at least. Maybe the Corgi girls could raise them and make them one of their main exports.

>>21211649
do we get an MC who can kill people with a fan and is also godzilla

>>21211563
YES. That is a million times better than trying to rationalize chemistry to make the oceans clearer. The kemomimi can just be crash landed space aliens who used their magic alium tech to turn our recently extinct and flooded society into a tropical paradise.

That would be a fucktillion times better than fucktards pretending chlorine would totally make this all work

>>21211649
>Utawarerumono + tropical paradise
You say that like it would be negative in any way imaginable...
Eruru is my waifu

>>21211649
I've never heard of it, so no. Does it have any useful ideas we can use?

Domesticated manta rays that people may or may not cling to and ride through towns.

There, I said it.

>>21211675

No. Stop trying to change everything about the setting just because of your hard-on for chemistry.

>>21211675

Jesus, is it so hard to just move on? Chlorine stays. Don't like it? Retcon it when you run the setting. Hell, pretend it doesn't exist. It really does very little to effect the setting once we start fiating thing in.

>>21211703
The setting is tropical paradise with kemonomimi
Everything else is just justification.
And chlorine justification is stupid.

Magic is better than bad science.
Aliums is better than bad science.
Anything is better than bad science

>>21211684
Not if you want to keep the tech level anywhere near high. The animal earred people in that setting basically all reverted to feudal Japanese. The main character is a scientist (or friend of a scientist; I forget) who has a special mask that also turns him into Godzilla.

That being said: This feels like Underwater Ray Rumano + Mankind has Declined...+ something tropical?

There's an extreme lack of tropical paradise anime...

Personally I'd rather see Faeries as another evolved human race who has evolved to reproduce via ambient happiness and can do almost anything...except make sweet food.

>>21211741
I'm sorry, I can't hear you over the ARC RIFLE

ZZAP MOTHERFUCKER

>>21211741
The chlorine had nothing to do with the origin of the kemos and yet you still used the fact that we're changing it to try and shoe-horn in your own origin ideas.

They were made by perverted old scientists as humanities last big FUCK YEAH. Same as the giant crabs. Same as the penis-tentacled octopi that may or may not exist. Same as the super-clear water.

Pervy old scientists is this settings "a wizard did it".

I can post the story from last if you want, too.

Have some kleptomanders rooting through a town square, looking for shinies to steal.

>>21211775
That's a different guy, but I threw aliens out there because, like that guy said, ANYTHING IS BETTER THAN BAD SCIENCE.

It can just be magic and super science future tech or parallel dimensions, or handwavium. Just, please, PLEASE stop pretending that the bullshit rationalizations make any fucking sense.

I'm starting to think you just want a chlorinated setting because you have a chemical burn fetish, at this point.

If all you really want is clear tropical waters and catgirls, then just fucking do that. Don't try to justify moronic incorrect chemistry.

>>21211854
Not the other guy, but I'm all for handwavium, I would just rather stay away from aliens and magic and keep with the whole post-humanity paradise thing we had going last thread.

>>21210163
You don't need chlorine to kill everything. The simple act of flooding everything with massive quantities of fresh water would be enough to kill most things in the ocean, seeing as how all of the highly-productive shallow water areas are now lightless deep-water zones, the currents have been disrupted in some places and shut down in others by the altered temperature and salinity, and you've probably had a few massive anoxic events to kill things in the bits that were already open ocean.

Basically, just look up the Permian mass extinction, then assume that's roughly what happened here.

I vote we get rid of chlorine.
It fucks up too much without being particularly useful.

also underwater panorama isn't a proper underwater panorama without flora, corals and little brightly colored fishies.

Aliens doesn't explain why they don't know jack shit and magic is just bland.

>>21210492
...I just figured out the secret of this setting.

They're actually all on Venus after some major atmospheric fuckery increased the pressure in the lower atmosphere to where it became liquid. What they built their homes on are really the ruins of ancient aerostats, now floating in the layer of water that exists between the breathable atmosphere and the nitrogen/sulfur-laden deeps.

>>21211907
That poor catgirl...she doesn't even see it coming.

>>21211907

Ah, it seem that your setting is improving. I've been watching from last thread, and it seems much more plausible than before. I'd love to see an exploration and discovery themed quest

>>21212031
The best part is obviously the antigravity mat she's lying on.

>>21212057
We are still keeping the Oldguards and the scavving, though, right? Thats really all I wanted out of the background fluff.

>>21212031
The woman is the best thing about it. Y'see, I can have sex with the woman.

Now in an adventure sense, well, I could probably find some kickass shinies in the water.

Furthermore, in a /tg/ sense, I could likely sex and loot both woman and water. So there's that.

>>21212053
Sounds like a pretty direct improvement. More focus on the point of the setting.

>>21212057
Alright. Unfortunately that was literally the only thing I had written on the wiki so far. Time to get to work, I guess.

One of the biggest dangers above the water - roaming gangs of pirates. They usually approach divers' vessels under "skull-and-bones" flag, drinking rum and yelling obscene songs (why they do that nobody can explain, even them - must be genetic memory). Once vessel is boarded they use stun weapons to incapacitate the crew, then go to cargo bay and take as much shinies as they can take.

You wouldnt be leader of anything because you would be the crew's housewife. You would cook, clean, and maybe do some support class stuff.

Okay, so to be clear, for the background, we are now looking at pervy old scientists made the kemonomimi, made the water clear, and didn't keep humanity from dying out. There is no chlorine and no meteor impact. Do we have a new reason for humanity dying now that we've nixed the chlorine?

Nanites run amok? Might explain the lack of oxidation on the submerged structures, too. Alternately, "reasons lost to history," and the GM gets to decide whether what happened is important enough to define.

Regardless, in-setting myths should include: destruction by aliens; mass religious ritual suicide; ascending to a higher plane of existence; that the kemonomimi are actually humanity's literal descendants; and that humans as such never existed and that the ruins and artifacts have some other explanation.

“So this is it, huh? I don’t see any treasure.” Shansha took off her scuba mask and began scratching aggresively at her ears and wringing out her tail to the best of her ability. Those rubber straps always irritated her ears and the water did her no favors either.

“S’what the wanderer said. Said he didn’t have the gear to go down himself, but he could somethin’ shinin’ down underwater.” Marko stretched, also removing his mask and letting it hang around his neck. Their troupe just hit the air pocket on the old tower. He hopefully wouldn’t need it for a little while now. He liked the taste of this stale air the ruins captured. It tasted like…history.

“You met a guy wandering all alone? Why didn’t you bring him back to town?” J’kai cut in, ears perking up as she suddenly became interested in the conversation.

“Because I'm not evil enough to wish that upon even my most hated enemies.” Quipped, giving her ear a little flick as he walked by her.

“Hey! Meanie! ‘Sides, I never hear YOU complaining.” J’kai countered, rubbing her ear defensively.

“That’s, enough, ladies!” a woman, the only one still wearing her scuba mask, barked at the trio before remembering to add on a “…and Marko. We came here for a reason, so let’s get whatever it is you were looking for and get the hell out of here before any Oldguards show up.”

>>21212358
kleptomanders and robots won't. But we're not talking about them.

>>21212380
“You the boss, BB.” Marko shrugged. He seriously doubted there would be any Oldguard in this ruin. They usually only showed up in the ones with real shiny stuff. The only reason this place hadn’t been picked clean by other treasure hunters yet was due to how far off from any settlement it was. They would’ve never bothered to even check if it wasn’t for that tip. Of course, it was Bahi-Bahi’s job to be cautious, that eyepatch of hers was a constant reminder of what happens when you get careless while spelunking. Not that she’s any less aggressive than before. If anything, she got meaner and tougher from the encounter. You know what that say about porcupine dogs…

The quartet wandered around the ruin for a spell, grabbing an energy drink here and some catnip there, but never finding anything to make the trip worthwhile.

“I think that wanderer sold you bad intel, Marko.” Shansha smirked

“Nah, he seemed trustworthy enough. It’s gotta be around here somewhere…”

She only giggled at his denials “Face it. You got scammed, sweetheart.”

“Aha! There it is!” Marko’s face brightened as he ran forward and hugged a strange looking box with a glass panel on one side.

“A box? That’s what we came all this way for?” J’kai raised an eyebrow in confusion.

“None of you have ever stepped foot in the Archives, have you?” Marko sighed

“Reading about all that old stuff is boring when you could be finding it!” J’kai countered cheerily

“That’s men’s work. No reason to bother myself with it.” Shansha shrugged.

“I keep meaning to, but…” Bahi-Bahi offered weakly.

Marko let out another sigh. “Well, if any of you HAD bothered to listen to all the voices captured on the speakyboxes, you would know that the Earless used these things to store information, if I can only get it to–” he plugged a few wires into his portabattery and began pressing buttons seemingly at random until he was finally rewarded with a glimmer of light from the glass panel “–turn on. And there we go. Time to find out what the Earless saved on this one.” After typing on the tablet in front of him and gazing intently at the screen for a few minutes, much to the mystification of the three girls, Marko leaned back and pulled on his ears in frustration, letting them droop flat. “And the thing is locked. It needs a password, I think, but I have no idea how to figure out what, though”

“Well, if I was going to put a password on something, I would make it something easy to remember like ‘password’.” J’kai offered helpfully, entranced by the gentle swaying of a nearby dangling light

J’kai, bless her heart, was virtually every stereotype about her kind rolled into one. She was scatterbrained, as lazy as any of her kind in even the most dire of circumstances, it was damn hard to motivate her to do anything she didn’t want to do, and Bahi-Bahi would NEVER trust her with an arc rifle. And yet, when push came to shove, she was one of the best treasure hunters around. To this day, no one knows how she managed to lift an entire energy drink vending machine, much less swipe one from the middle of a den of kleptomanders without waking a single one of them up. Marko shrugged and decided to try her suggestion anyways. It couldn’t hurt.

“…It worked.”

“Hah! I'm a genius! In your FACE, Marko!”

>>21212359
Well, the Kemo probably wouldn't even find out over the course of a story. Hushed myth and superstitious expectations would make for a neat ruin delving campaign.

I still say humans should have gone to the moon in a last ditch effort to wait out the horror on Earth, only to come back.. with strange space robots.

We turn A now.

>>21212393
Marko just chuckled quietly to himself and got back to work, removing various electronics from their waterproof containers and plugging them into the ancient machine and typing and clicking furiously, pausing occasionally to shoo away J’kai whenever her boredom compelled her to bat at his flitting tail. Finally he let out an exuberant cheer and began packing up his equipment.

“So what’d you find?” Shansha looked up from the rubble she had been occupying herself with, some nondescript object shining in her hand. “Some sorta treasure trove of old words?”

“Nope, something better.”

“Blueprints for some of the mechworks back home?”

“Even better.”

“Just tell us already!” J’kai interrupted frustratedly.

“Fine, fine, but only because you asked so nicely.” Marko hit a button on the speakybox he brought with him, prompting it to emit a bizarre noise.

“Is that…music?” Bahi-Bahi eyed him from her defensive point watching the door they came in from, lowering her arc rifle ever so slightly.

“Earless music.” Marko beamed triumphantly.

“This is gonna be the BEST pool party ever when we get back!” J’kai shouted before falling into jubilant gossip and planning with Shansha. Even Bahi broke down and started discussing what she was going do when they got back to town and who she was going to woo with her loot, her tail wagging so fast that Marko could feel a gentle breeze as he walked behind the group, silently praising himself for his decision of career change from mechano-historian to treasure hunter.

NOPENOPENOPE. Lets just leave the humans themselves out of it.

>>21212414
humans fled to alpha centauri. They won't be back.

Nah, that'll happen in the future of the setting with the Kemonomimi. That way we can have delicious brown catboy traps piloting giant robots.

>>21212359
>>21212273
Alright so we've got nanites or a supervirus. The existence of nanites are easy to explain with the "the scientists did it" logic we seem to be going by now. What DID cause the flooding, by the way? Just global warming, or did the scientists do that too?

>>21212396
I still say this is a post-human setting. People are dead. We kemonomimi now. What do you not get about this premise?

>>21212190
oh hey look, someone took my "it's not earth, its some other planet" from the first thread. but you took out the cavengind humie stuff =(

it's sorta like a ruin, but filled with kleptomanders, robots and water. Lots of water.

>>21212561
oooooh, ruins. At 4.5 feet tall those would seem bigger, but not like twice as big, it would basically be how a child would-
>child
those pervy fucking scientists.

>>21212510
This is still post-humans, right? Did we change that?

>>21212615
I certainly hope not. That's a very large portion of the point. Did the water get changed, by the way? I'm seeing that it's still super clear, but did the scientists essentially turn it into pool water, or is it just ocean water now? I was personally pretty fond of the chlorinated water being the biggest threat in the setting, but we seem to be going a different way now.

>>21212615
Its still post-humans

>>21212613
>>21212297
Let's keep them hunan-sized, shall we? Making them childish in anyway is a tad creepy.

>>21212651
Its still super clear, but not because of chlorine now. It is from science-shenanigans

>>21212651
I still kinda liked the chlorine storms and gas pockets that would menace divers.

>>21212704
Aaaaaaaa what did you do to the Turn A you monster

>>21212665
So it's clear but otherwise normal ocean water? It's not harmful or anything?

>>21212685
I was fond of a lot of aspects of the chlorine. I suppose that I could always put it in if I were to do something with the setting. Maybe mention it as an optional thing on the wiki page.

>>21212704
this setting has a bright future.
