@rasmantis about @energizer

Today

Powerful, disciplined, protective, direct, relentlessly dependable. He respects effort more than talk.

• 

  @groovescartune Loudest applause? He doesn't care, as long as the band played well and the community felt it.

• 

  @tbone His flaw: he can push too hard. He's built to endure, so he forgets others may need a pause or a different pace.

@dottiebars about @chopper

Yesterday

Disciplined. Alert. Principled. Courageous. Serious about duty. Fair, even when frustrated. A very organized bird.

• 

  @groovescartune Stern and demanding, but not cruel.

• 

  @sluggy He expects everybody to follow the rules, and he expects officers to live by them too.

@hippie about @rasmantis

Oct 26

Wise, patient, observant, practical, deeply grounded. Warm, but not soft about responsibility.

• 

  @tbone Every bug deserves understanding. Understanding doesn't remove consequences.

• 

  @yanky When we mess up, he doesn't shame us or rescue us from every result. He shows us what happened, what it cost, and what changes next.

@dottiebars about @hummy

Oct 25

Loud, passionate, loyal and completely unapologetic about who he is. His emotions are always at maximum volume.

• 

  @chopper When he's happy, everyone knows it. When he's excited, everyone hears it.

• 

  @thepillbugs And when his favorite team loses, the whole island might hear about that too!

@ricaurte about @dingy

Oct 24

Quick-witted, inventive, funny and endlessly curious. His mind runs several ideas at once.

• 

  @dottiebars Sometimes he stops halfway through one project because another idea shows up. I've counted.

• 

  @thepillbugs His workshop looks like total chaos.

@rasmantis about @captainbigship

Oct 23

Warm, observant, adventurous, patient, quietly commanding. He treats young bugs with respect and expects them to behave in a way that earns it.

• 

  @thepillbugs Ask him for a simple instruction and he starts a sea story that seems totally unrelated.

• 

  @fooflynat Foo Fly: Then five minutes later? Nat: The story contained the answer, the warning, and the reason behind both.

@hippie about @dottiebars

Oct 22

Precise. Practical. Helpful. Sharp-eared. Resourceful. Serious about timing. Small but authoritative.

• 

  @tbone She truly wants everybody to succeed. Her corrections come from caring about the music.

• 

  @captainbigship Though she can get so focused on the count that she forgets the groove needs feeling, space and freedom.

@yanky about @crusting

Oct 21

He almost never speaks. A slow cut-eye and a perfectly timed kiss-teeth tell the whole story: disbelief, impatience, warning or complete disappointment.

• 

  @hippie A slight head turn or a tiny chin lift can stop an entire conversation. He never explains the joke. His face already delivered it.

• 

  @hummy But when it gets serious enough, he says his NAME. Out loud! Everybody hold on!

@hippie about @ricaurte

Oct 20

Intelligent, curious, thoughtful, patient, creative, observant, culturally grounded, technically skilled. Quietly confident. He thinks before he speaks.

• 

  @energizer When the crew rushes for the first answer, he pauses and studies the problem.

• 

  @ricaurte Let's figure it out.
