There\u2019s an offhand mention of Gozoy back in the vignette in the last post. In the universe of Eyes Wide to the Stars, it might be thousands of years in the future, but humanoids are still just stretching out to the fringes of our part of the galaxy. It\u2019s rare that someone encounters an alien in the same way that it\u2019s rare to encounter someone from another country now. But it definitely happens, and this vignette (and most of the game for which this vignette is a design exercise) takes place at the edges of humanoid space, where you\u2019re more likely to run into someone go Gozoy Mboc.<\/p>\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n

Gozoy loves the oontz.<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n

Gozoy has become fascinated in human culture (unaware that most prefer to be called \u201chumanoid\u201d, as \u201chuman\u201d is an ancient and largely speculative species from long-lost Earth) and in particular, human music, which he considers his favorite genre. Any time he has a chance to participate in a human musical events, he does. That means that you can find him on dance floors, at concerts, and has even tried his mechanical hands (part of the utility exoskeleton he wears when outside his own species\u2019 environments) with human musical instruments like the ehr-hu and the modular synthesizer.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He\u2019s starting to understand that music sounds different when it was created in different times and places among humanoids and is eager to learn what those distinctions are.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Modular systems are a function of industrial society. But do people of The Fifth World still know how to agree to standards? With their acute interest in efficiency, I think they might have carried that lesson forward!<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n\n\n\n
