Closed Log
Featuring: Armitage Hux cronusian, Teddy Upsilon thatsruff, Kylo Ren warfares
What's happening?: Hux enlists a helpful canine to be his test subject. Again.
Day: 3/1
Content warning: manipulation, character death (possible), animal character death (possible)
[It took weeks of work to fashion the bags to his satisfaction. With only a small amount of sand to work with initially, his primary test 'track' had been too small to do a proper experiment with. Now that he had Upsilon on board, though, he had more to work with. A willing and expendable test subject, backup in the form of his temporary ally, and six large test bags.
He had used three different fabrics, and two different weights of sand in each, one set with a thick layer of several inches worth of sand, and another with a thinner layer of only a couple inches. There were a lot of factors involved, and the testing could take time, depending on how often his test subject ended up dying in the process. He wanted to test each out in multiple situations, locations, and time frames. The Sound Eaters were not reliable. They did not always seem to come for every sound, and that made it difficult to trust the initial results, no matter how promising.
It was an important experiment if he had any hope of bringing some more lasting order to the disorganized efforts of the natives. Hux had difficulty tolerating their lack of proper hierarchy or structure, and the washing away of paths and resources that were, at least by appearances, not in limitless supply was maddening.
His willing volunteer was instructed on where and when to meet with them, and Hux had roped Ren into the experiment, with little information shared to either of them prior. At least he could count on Ren to do the heavy lifting while he kept note of the results, and the sound generated during their tests.]

no subject
Having seen the Sound Eaters firsthand, he still struggled to imagine creatures of such awkward heft and bulk moving at such speeds.
Not that it made it impossible, of course.
Their entire existence was a study in how impossibilities might come to rest against each other, like cards on a game-table, forming a tower that would make any dealer at Canto Bight envious. And while he'd sooner not stick around for the invariable collapse, he had no option right now but to stay.
Which meant learning to live with these people, to work with them. Which meant biting his tongue, occasionally, and letting Hux and Teddy continue their tests while he does what he was brought there to do: offer back-up. ]
