Jenga!

I'm probably going to have to update the Characters page someday. That's gonna suck. All in favor of putting that off until later, show of hands. Yeah? Okay, good.

But I still need to have it written down somewhere, these names I've thought of. Nega-Dido is obviously called Pinky in some capacity, though whether that's the shape's actual name or just name-calling on Ole Hound Dawg's part had yet to be seen. Nega-Brock is called Feldspar. I don't have a good reason for this, but it's better than calling him Brick just so I can think "Brick-a-Brock" every time I mention either of them. I don't know anyone who pronounces "bric-a-brac" that way anyway. Nega-Otto is called Rondo, for no reason other than that it sounds nice and was part of an anagram of the letters in "octahedron". Nega-Ike is called Spike, because I keep forgetting whether or not I intended to make Ike's counterpart of opposite gender, and Spike cements the "this is a male" idea for me. The Buddha, obviously, is The Buddha. It hasn't come up yet, but it's not even just two Buddhas who look the same; they're just both The Buddha, and they both know everyone, and hang out in both universes all the time and blah blah blah. Oh, and Iggy! Iggy is the house. The Negatopes know about and can converse with their house, precisely because that is the opposite of how things go in the Polytopes universe.

The background colors have no reference to anything about the Polytopes coloration, by the by. I seem to have decided that Iggy can change his color whenever he damn well pleases, because there's really no way to make a two-tone room out of the three colors in each of Tess's rooms, and also there really aren't any dividing lines to make a "room" inside Iggy. You just sort of have to walk along a curve until you can't see anyone else, and that boundary is the cognitive equivalent of a room. It occurs to me now that Iggy could have high times all spinnin' himself about and tumbling the Negatopes around, making himself into an endless slide or perhaps using physics to pin everyone to walls for no reason.

It was Feldspar's idea, by the way.
