The whole place is dark // Every light on this side of the town // Suddenly, it all went down // Now we'll all be brothers of the fossil fire of the sun // Now we will all be sisters of the fossil blood of the moon // Someone must've set 'em up // Now they'll be working in the cold gray rock // Now they'll be working in the hot mill steam // Now they'll be working in the concrete // In the sirens and the silences now // All the great set-up hearts ... all at once ... start to beat // After tonight, if you don't want this to be a secret out of the past // I will resurrect it, I'll have a good go at it // I'll streak his blood across my beak, dust my feathers with his ash // "I can feel his ghost breathing down my back" // I will try, and know, whatever I try: I will be gone, but not forever // I will try, and know, whatever I try: I will be gone, but not forever // Real truth about it is, no one gets it right // Real truth about it is, we're all supposed to try // There ain't no end to the sands I've been trying to cross // Real truth about it is, my kind of life's no better off // If it's got the maps, or if it's lost // We will try, and know, whatever we try: we will be gone, but not forever // Come on, let's try, and know, whatever we try: we will be gone, but not forever // Real truth about it is, there ain't no end to the desert I'll cross // I've really known it all along // Mama, here comes midnight with the dead moon in its jaws // Must be the big star about to fall // Mama, here comes midnight with the dead moon in its jaws // Must be the big star about to fall // Long dark blues // Will-o'-the-wisp // Long dark blues // The big star is falling // Long dark blues // Will-o'-the-wisp // The big star is falling // Long dark blues // Through the static and distance // Long dark blues // A farewell transmission // Long dark blues // Listen // Long dark blues // Listen // Long dark blues // Listen // Long dark blues // Listen.

Cross the street from your storefront cemetery // Hear me hailing from inside and realize, I'm ... // I am the conscience clear, in pain or ecstasy // We are all weaned, my dear, upon the same fatigue // You're staring at the sun // (Oh, my own voice cannot save me now) // Standing in the sea // (One more breath and then I'll go down) // Your mouth is open wide, the lover is inside // And all the tumult's done, collided with the sun // You're staring at the sun, you're standing in the sea // Your body's over me // Note the trees, because the dirt is temporary // More to mine than fact, face, name, and monetary // Beat the skins and let the loose lips kiss you clean // Quietly pour out like light, like light, like answering // You're staring at the sun, you're standing in the sea // Your mouth is open wide, you're trying hard to breathe // The water's at your neck, there's lightning in your teeth // Your body's over me // You're staring at the sun, you're standing in the sea // (Be what you will) // Your mouth is open wide, you're trying hard to breathe // (And then throw down your life) // The water's at your neck, there's lightning in your teeth // (Oh, it's a damned fine game) // Your body's over me // (And we can play all night) // You're staring at the sun, you're standing in the sea // Your mouth is open wide, you're trying hard to breathe // The water's at your neck, there's lightning in your teeth // Your body's over me // You're staring at the sun ... // "... And standing in the sea" // You're staring at the sun ... // ... And standing in the sea

Calamity is beyond alien- alien would suggest it had some likeness to a living creature. No, Calamity is all stone-plates and fiery core. They are a planet in miniature- a host to life, but not alive themselves.

Yet they are alive.

'Stone' plates are filled with blood and life- a surely scary sight to anyone who witnessed them get injured. The fiery 'core' is actually their brain, as well as every other major organ. It has a similar composition to another gas-based being, Regalia- though they are significantly hotter and denser. Similarly, their core is weak to magical attacks- especially ice-based ones, while their plates can be broken by physical attacks, but are quite resilient. They are 20 feet in diameter, though a significant portion of that is empty space between their plates and their core. If they feel they are in danger, they can contract so their plates form a tight shell around their core, shrinking to around 10 feet in diameter. When relaxed, their plates drift around their core, held together by a mixture of telepathic bond and spite. These plates are majority unfeeling, unless broken or cracked enough to bleed, and mostly function as protection. Their core is a dense ball in their center, and functions as their eye, as well as their ears and every other sensing organ, however it does all of this poorly due to the surrounding plates and all the variety of tasks it's meant to perform. Because of this, thin fiery-looking tendrils that function much like whiskers stretch from their core, allowing them to get a better sense of their surroundings.

They can naturally absorb nutrients from the air- various gaseous elements, as well as airborne dust and water- into their core. Additionally, they can form a symbiotic relationship with the plants and fungi that will begin to grow on them- gaining additional nutrients, with Calamity giving back in turn. However, as their personal 'garden' grows, this relation will begin to verge on parasitic, with the plants taking more than they give. Their garden will need to be pruned every so often in order for them to stay healthy- a process Calamity will have a hard time with for a variety of reasons.

They are unable to speak, or even truly interact with their environment, without magical assistance. They naturally produce a buzzing, almost electronic hum, but whether this is a kind of speech or just noise is unknown. Additionally, they can naturally hover a few feet above the ground- and a little high than that if they put in some effort.
