Hello, I am in dire need of speculation post privileges.
My apologies if this posts twice, my previous post didn't seem to show up.

Welcome to the forum Jackalope!
Now you can go forth and speculate to your heart/hearts' content.
I have never checked, but I don't think you can even see your own posts until the post is approved. So there were two post from you. I buried the other one out back...
Anyway [member's name here], now I will tell you about the strange tradition aimed at newcomers.
At one time there were Pesterers who pestered you for poetry, but that tends to be very rare nowadays. Even though you may not be pestered, if you do go and post an original poem --usually haiku but any (clean) type is accepted-- written by you, you will most likely receive a gift in return. The "gift" will most likely be useless or maim you. Whichever it may be, it should be interesting and surprising. Lastly, this strange tradition applies to the pestering not the poetry. You are not required to do anything more to be a member here...unless you want to possibly get a [name of harmlessly fatal item here] or some other type of gift.
Now go forth and do (almost) whatever you want, just don't speculate in Reactions.

Thanks for that, I think. Not sure what to contribute. Time to speculate!

Is that a haiku that I see?
Why yes it is.
Now a gift needs to be given?
Yes, yes, it must.
How many tentacles and claws should it have?
No, no. We don't want to give Jackalope anything like that.
Because it would be too good for them?
Well...there is that reason as well. We need something that is not too good, but good enough to technically qualify as a gift.
Oh. So something from "that sector" in Dimensional Storage?
That would be perfect.
...
Here, do you think this will work?
Yes, yes, this will work fine.
Do you want the operating instructions and the warning booklet about how to minimize spontaneous user vaporization?
No, I've heard that many humans are quite capable of figuring alien things out while not being maimed too fatally.
Are we sure Jackalope is human?
Four limbs, two eyes, and shorter than a Gwientee... They would appear to be one of them.
Alright, here you go. Need anything else?
No, this will do. Anyway Jackalope, here is your gift. A holo-pen! With this pen you can create non-solid freestanding sculptures just by drawing in the air with dimensionally ensnared light. It comes with all types of "brushes" for creating any vision you may have.

Dude! A holo-pen! Does it work without goggles? I want to snatch that.

No you don't need googles to use the holo-pen. Though they do recommend to wear some while sculpting. Oh and to wear clothing and gloves that do not contain any carbon. Odd.
Let's see if I can find some thing here... "...ensnared light can spontaneously..." Eh. "...banned in these 38..." Meh. "...considered an epsilon level war crime..." Hmm.
Can't find anything I would consider important about that.
