Inktober Day 30: Slither Skates

Posted on November 9, 2021 by eczarnik

Whether grass, gravel or ice, the Slither Skates slide through them all.

INKTOBER DAY 30 (SLITHER): You don’t need an ice rink to use the Slither Skates!

The slippery blades — flexible to the molecular level — allow the wearer to smoothly glide through fields, farmland and even gravel roads without stumbling. Water jet hoses cool the blades as they accelerate to avoid bursting into flames.

Many conquering forces, including the Holy Tongue Society, buy the Slither Skates or acquire them as war booty. Special forces use them when they need to move fast on foot or divide a target with a sharp bladed kick.

The Slither Skates are powered by the חלק shoresh root and broader family, which govern slithering, slipperiness, smoothness, skating, gliding, fields, agriculture, stumbling, division, water hoses, buying, war booty, conquest, ignition, particles and more.

Pyromaniac Arsonist

The Pyromaniac gets heated!

The Pyromaniac Arsonist is a simple man – he loves to set things on fire with his heavy spark conductor and his favorite cigarette lighter.

There’s a method to his madness, though. He needs to keep warm in the frigid city of Mattanah, where the Bavel Macrostructure stores and cools its skyscraper-sized surveillance data servers. But while Bavel bans heating for most of its subjects, it wisely adapted and hired arsonists and pyromaniacs to incinerate censored materials and criminals.

The Pyromaniac Arsonist’s power comes from the יצת shoresh family, which governs arson, pyromaniacs, ignition, lighters and more.

The Extinctuisher snuffs out fires with the tears of the dying.
In a war-torn, postapocalyptic world, the Extinctuisher comes to the rescue!

The Extinctuishers are a brigade of firefighters who prevent deaths in deserted areas where resources and services are scarce. Their ear is attentive to anyone’s cry of danger, and they stand ready to put out meteors, wildfires and more. Their fire extinguishers spray the distilled tears of the mourning and snuff out fiery or electric targets.

The Extinctuisher comes from the כבי shoresh root and family, dealing with extinction, firefighting, crying, mourning and more.

Leaky Steel Torch

Be careful where you aim the Leaky Steel Torch!

INKTOBER DAY 23 (LEAK): The Leaky Steel Torch may do in a pinch, but not all that glitters is gold!

This device lights up dark places and wards off creatures who hate fire and lightning. It even serves as a strong, durable club.

But this item, like so many hastily produced in wartime, also has a few drawbacks. One is its reliance on liquid fuel; the other is that it leaks said fuel, trailing a flammable drizzle wherever it goes. Get that leakage too close to heat, and you may end up singeing more than your eyebrows!

The Leaky Steel Torch comes from the דלף shoresh root family, which governs leaks, flames, glittering, torches, steel and strength.

Ḥofi Pattaḥ

Pattach opens up paths.

INKTOBER DAY 22 (OPEN): When it comes to opening doors, Ḥofi Pattaḥ has the keys to success!

After developing terrible spending habits, Pattaḥ dug himself a financial hole and entered a life of crime. He biohacked his body to evolve key-shaped claws that can carve or pierce foes, as well as open almost any lock or portal.

He successfully committed a string of burglaries and robberies, but his big mouth and need to explain his exploits got him caught. But he was impossible to imprison or handcuff. Even a trip to the electric chair backfired because his body resisted the shock.

So in the end, the ‘Ivrit Revival Movement bribed Pattaḥ by paying off his debt in exchange for military service. Now free and with a fresh start, Pattaḥ uses his spy, hacker and thief skills to free his countrymen. Armed with with his trusty wrench sword and ultra-vision glasses (but no heavy armor), he stealthily infiltrates strongholds and cuts down the enemy through attrition and sabotage.

Pattaḥ’s abilities come from the פתח shoresh root and family, which govern services, cuffs, decreases, keys, wrenches and spanners, drawn swords, openings, orifices, pits, loss of electric current, attrition, evolution, vision, cuffs, carving, boring, uttering, freedom, taking off armor and more.
