THREEPIO GOES DARK AND OTHER ALIEN CURIOSITIES FROM A STAR WARS STORY.

PIC(S) INFO: Spotlight on a couple of concept art contributions to "Rogue One: A Star Wars Story," an early version of K-2SO and an unnamed, humanoid alien race, c. 2014-2015. Artwork by Kinman Chan. Lucasfilm Ltd.

PIC #1: K2-SO concept art, Version 1 -- "This was the very first concept done for K2S0. I was prompted to create an all black C-3PO for the film in it's beginning concept stages. This was my attempt to get it right."

PIC #2: "I'd painted several images of aliens in their natural habitats for the film. Here's one of them. Gareth Edwards was really pushing for humanistic qualities and relationships between the aliens in the film. It was both a fun and great idea to explore."

-- KINMAN CHAN (professional artist/concept artist)

There's something satisfying about seeing the real carnage caused by artificial intelligence. That's the problem when machines become sentient. They develop a survival instinct. I'm not saying I told you so, but I gave you the data and you made your choice.

Today's Twitter microfiction. The #vssDaily prompt was artificial and the #SciFiFri prompt was carnage.

microfiction, September 25 - October 1

The young priestess withholds the vial of liquid starlight from you—with good reason. She knows you’re a thief. “Do you swear to take this to the Temple Beyond Time, to place it on Astrea’s Altar?” You lie, of course—and the curse crashes down around you.

-

A flash of red catches your eye, and you leave the trail to see what it is. Red dresses hang from several trees. As the sun goes down, it looks like they are dancing. As you return to the trail, you look back; they are much closer, now. You start running.

-

You come across a small cemetery, headstones streaked with moss. The names are familiar; people you know from town. The death-dates are all set to the future. You notice the nice lady at the post office is set to die this winter. You move on (before you find your own name).

-

The bandits came riding through town, looking for the wizard called Strange. “That one,” scoffed the blacksmith, “is spinning spells in yonder tower, past the cursed woods and the poison river. If you reach the gardens, mind the flowers. And the dragon.”

-

Two noblewomen were gossiping about his mother, the great Lady Knight who saved the realm from the Dark Lord. “—but what a shame about her antisocial son—disgraceful really, how she lets him carry on.” Mal snapped his fingers, setting the hems of their dresses on fire.

-

We didn’t know the house was haunted when we moved in. For a while, we could pretend not to notice. But I can’t ignore what’s happening to my brother; whenever he’s possessed, he smells of smoke. He stares at matches. I’ve called for a priest.

-

Sandy from Drama Club had a near-death experience; now she can speak Latin and play the violin like a concertmaster. Then she started sleepwalking—the other night she made it back to where the accident happened. She started to dig in the dirt with her bare hands.

-

After getting the call, she hailed a taxi, but had to wait until sunset to get him out. The burns on him, from crosses and sunlight, were awful. “How embarrassing,” she said later, “a five hundred year old vampire, getting trapped in a church basement.”

-

Things were not going to plan. Last year, I heard the rumors. Last month, I arrived, learning all the secrets of this place. Yesterday, I finally found a way into the basement where it all happened. Today, I tried to kill it. Tomorrow, I think I will run—

-

Your mother used to sing a lullaby, but you’ve forgotten how it goes. Something about the flowers in her garden. Samhain draws close; you’ll talk to her soon. Ask her how the lullaby goes. And ask for her gingerbread recipe. You can never get the spices right.

-

You’ve been treated well, despite the shackles. You still spit at that person when they visit—call them false, call them traitor. They smile, placing a tender kiss on your forehead. “You’ll understand someday. This is for your own good.” And then they lock you away.

-

The General orders the warship to be moved into position. “Don’t you dare look away, Doctor. This is your finest creation. Surely you want to see if it works.” She has no choice but to watch as he activates the weapon, and cleaves the planet in two.

-

The muse tells you: be the verse rewritten, that rights the wrongs from previous drafts, notes falling flat. Before the chorus gives out—be the ending your song deserves.

SURPRISE! This week's Lady Aesc episode is going up a little early ;) enjoy!

Episode 11: The Keepers of Time - by @closertotheheartofcreation and @tarminuus “That’s just an ordinary Grandfather clock,” said Blanche. “But is it?” asked Jason, still shivering in his bathrobe, “Is it?”

Once upon a time, in a place, there were clocks. Clocks built by the most powerful civilizations in the 10,000 Dawns. Now Lady Aesc, Jason, and Blanche will have to tell the time… Or face the consequences.

Happy #AudioDramaSunday! Joining our cast as the new voice of Chief Archaeologist Wei Han is Angel Lin, a veteran voice actor, musician and anything synonymous to the word “geek”.

They’ve also performed Off-Broadway, in National Broadway tours, and their love of games and movies totally fit the vibe of the rest of the Marsfall cast and crew! Keep your ears sharp as you’ve probably heard Angel in many other places before.

From the smell of the waterfront, the makeshift houses, and the vermin scurrying around, it's clear to TO that this is no place for anyone to live.

And yet, they do.
