In a world where the surface was destroyed by the third World War, an unsuspecting sky courier delivers a package which changes his life. Wars over ancient relics rage on, a corrosive cloud belt is expanding, and the floating Islands where the remnents of mankind are being destroyed.

Sky Runes

This is my first attempt at a completely first-person POV story. Not sure if I will continue it, but I like what I came up with. I'm a bit... anxious? As I have never really written in First-Person view like this.
Tell me what you think :p C & C please.

Alright, that was 3 paragraphs more than where I left off last time, :D But I read it again to make sure I didn't... miss anything.

Awesome, :thup:
Yay, another person first time First-Person view.
It's nice, I like how it's short (shorter paragraphs make it easier to read ^^) and to the point, but still with description. A few parts could've been elaborated more on, so more suspense is added. Like in the ending, when the girl comes out, before just shooting her out into the story, you could have another paragraph telling about the thoughts running through his head, maybe some classic lame smoke rising from the box, :)
Great story, waiting for the next parts, :thup:

“Mmphh...” A soft moan behind me interrupted my thoughts and caused me to turn around. With the
heavily armoured lid blown off into god-knows-where I could see what was inside the box, or rather
what was getting out of the box.
A girl with long light blue hair rubbed her eyes sleepily as if she woke up from a deep sleep sat up on the
box’s edge. Her dark-blue eyes shone in contrast with her pale skin, but what caught my attention were
the glowing runes on the back of each of her hands and on her forehead.
That could be more suspenseful I guess, :D More description maybe on before the girl comes out, so it gives readers time to think for themself, imagine what scary thing could come out.

    The bots will show up as users online in the forum software but they do not show up in my stats tracking. I am sure there are bots in the stats but the way alot of the bots treat the site do not show up on the stats
  • Varine Varine:
    I want to build a filtration system for my 3d printer, and that shit is so much more complicated than I thought it would be
  • Varine Varine:
    Apparently ABS emits styrene particulates which can be like .2 micrometers, which idk if the VOC detectors I have can even catch that
  • Varine Varine:
    Anyway I need to get some of those sensors and two air pressure sensors installed before an after the filters, which I need to figure out how to calculate the necessary pressure for and I have yet to find anything that tells me how to actually do that, just the cfm ratings
  • Varine Varine:
    And then I have to set up an arduino board to read those sensors, which I also don't know very much about but I have a whole bunch of crash course things for that
  • Varine Varine:
    These sensors are also a lot more than I thought they would be. Like 5 to 10 each, idk why but I assumed they would be like 2 dollars
  • Varine Varine:
    Another issue I'm learning is that a lot of the air quality sensors don't work at very high ambient temperatures. I'm planning on heating this enclosure to like 60C or so, and that's the upper limit of their functionality
  • Varine Varine:
    Although I don't know if I need to actually actively heat it or just let the plate and hotend bring the ambient temp to whatever it will, but even then I need to figure out an exfiltration for hot air. I think I kind of know what to do but it's still fucking confusing
  • The Helper The Helper:
    Maybe you could find some of that information from AC tech - like how they detect freon and such
  • Varine Varine:
    That's mostly what I've been looking at
  • Varine Varine:
    I don't think I'm dealing with quite the same pressures though, at the very least its a significantly smaller system. For the time being I'm just going to put together a quick scrubby box though and hope it works good enough to not make my house toxic
  • Varine Varine:
    I mean I don't use this enough to pose any significant danger I don't think, but I would still rather not be throwing styrene all over the air

    I bitch about Xenforo sometimes but it really is full featured you just have to really know what you are doing to get the most out of it.
  • The Helper The Helper:
    It is just not easy to fix styles and customize but it definitely can be done
  • The Helper The Helper:
    I do know this - xenforo dropped the ball by not keeping the vbulletin reputation comments as a feature. The loss of the Reputation comments data when we switched to Xenforo really was the death knell for the site when it came to all the users that left. I know I missed it so much and I got way less interested in the site when that feature was gone and I run the site.
