That's what the word feral means.
Actually, the word feral implies a domestic animal that has become semi-wild. Fully wild creatures are not feral.
IIRC, feral can also apply to creatures whose ancestors were all tame. Of course, if I'm remembering wrong that means that there's a different word for wild horses*, which helps my case.

*One kind of wild horse, at least. It's not like the browts are the only sub/species of their kind, anyway.

Yeah, I don't think we should alter the name when we just tame it. We could alter the new when our domestication results in a genetically different subspecies. (Ie, differences between dingoes and dogs, as wel as mustangs and other horses. The one is a subspecies of the other)
How different are mustangs from horses?
Mustangs are horses. They're a subspecies of horses. There's a genetic difference between a mustang and any other horse race/breed. Differences are small, but they exist.
Mostly this is becoming a problem because press often wrongly uses the word Mustang for any wild horse, which is not correct.

And presumably there are some genetic differences between browts and packbacks.

You consider naming yourself Legion before deciding on Persana, which is now your name. Nice to have one.

Alright. Time to get out of this room. Good first step: Opening the door.

You see a larger room, all the emptier for it. It has a sofa, a plate, and a spoon. Neat.

You feel like you're forgetting something. Maybe you should experiment with your inventory somehow.

Indicate that I've forgotten where I am and what's inside it.

Look around.

Words.

So at this point the entire world is dead.
Not quite, I'm pretty sure there are those trees in that jungle where Neyravah died which are somehow still alive, presumably due to the magic imbued by Neyravah's death.
Also, the plump helmets are doing well too.
For now, but Ghaz mentioned that they can't subsist on waste forever (nice nod to how fungi work IRL there--they don't make energy out of nothing). They'll last for a while, but work as well as a perpetual motion machine in the long run.

1 act  Teleport the wyrms, and, if possible,  any other life  from Sychasis to Eversummer (wyrms is first priority, other life forms is the second if any power is left )
Oh yeah, this will end REALLY well. Teleport them from the Death Star to the Dying Planet.
well, considering they survived on Sychachis without problems, they should do fine on Despair too.
Why?
Have you missed the bit about how JUST ABOUT EVERYTHING ON DESPAIR IS DYING OR DOOMED?
Not everything the GM says is a 100% unturnable truth. Things are looking bleak for despair, but I doubt everything'll die out. You got Neyravah's corpse Jungle, some remaining fortresses, the magical plump helmets, and quite a lot of other things. Pretty much anything running or magic or dependant on it.
The fortresses don't have sustainable food, Ghaz mentioned at some point that the plump helmets need reasonably fresh organic material to live, and what else is there which makes food?

And the Wyrms survived on Sychachis, which if I recall correctly didn't have an biosphere nor athmosphere perfectly fine. They'd do well on Despair. The Cold and abundance of water might be slightly problematic, but if they stay in the burning parts everything is fine.
Suchachis didn't have an atmosphere or anything?

Wait. Is Un crossing his own time stream? Wouldn't that cause paradoxes and general universe-fucking-over?
*nods nervously*
Dammit Derm...wait wrong guy.
Actually, it depends on the linearity of time and the exact mechanics of time travel.
He's sure trying to risk a time paradox.
Hence, if there's a nonlinearity of time you'd end up with a variation of concurrent timestreams. Ie, stream A from which the timetravel originated, and stream B, where the timetraveller arrived. Since these are mostly seperate universes, the original timestream would remained unchanged, meaning that the beast doesn't magically poof away.
Unless we're playing in B, of course.

Well, elementals have to have at least one form of communication, so that they can communicate with each other. I think most elementals have languages such as Terran.
And what makes you think you'll be able to speak Human?

33756
Pretty sure you call a horse a horse whether its trained or not.
Then what is a mustang, hm?
It's a name given to specify the wild state of the horse, created after the domestication of horses. I'm pretty sure mustangs were originally called horses, though.
That's what the word feral means.

Yeah, I don't think we should alter the name when we just tame it. We could alter the new when our domestication results in a genetically different subspecies. (Ie, differences between dingoes and dogs, as wel as mustangs and other horses. The one is a subspecies of the other)
How different are mustangs from horses?

Anyways, you've still missed the central point, which is that
puns are nice.

Anyways.

I was reading the update and saw:
Suddenly a distant rumble can be heard and sirens blare up throughout the deck and your holo-pager beeps with abandon.
My thought was: OH GODS WHAT DID I DO?
But it wasn't me. Good, I still can't think of anything I've dermed.
Instead: SCAPHEAP! WHAT DID YOU DO?

Send message to the HE requesting permission to flee the ship and preserve the assets contained on my chassis.

Don't worry too much about it. There's more important stuff than RtD's. Like homework.

33759
Wait, when did a hat kill someone and why are we arguing so much about who's to blame?

((I assume I can already speak a little Latin. Very little, most likely, but still...))

Continue trying to learn Latin. Once I have the gist of it, try to chat with one of the slave girls.

((For RP purposes, we're going to assume you learn fast enough to currently be able to hold a basic conversation. Any complex concepts would escape you, but you know enough to understand the general gist of most conversations.))
Ah.

Continue trying to learn the intricacies of Latin; chat with the slave girls as they pass.

33761
Why would you be able to speak? Elementals aren't even flesh and blood.

Pretty sure you call a horse a horse whether its trained or not.

I think we've found our woman. Now to kill her without dying.

Watch and try to find some sort of weakness in the woman's fighting style.

On the other hand, we probably have a lot less people to spare building the wall.

I hope that's not the case, because that's really kinda cheap. Besides, why should an elemental's vocal cords be better at talking than a falcon's?
