The world of Nix was a chaos of color and confusion. This was the world where all creatures banished from their home worlds settled. As a planet of outlaws the culture of Nix was rioty and rowdy, and nothing ever made any sense. Nix as a planet was fairly boring, except for the fact that it had a gravity that fluctuated. On Mondays, Wednesdays, and Saturdays the gravity was very strong, causing people to move at a snails pace. On Tuesdays, Thursdays, and Sundays the gravity was light, and everyone could float and fly about. What about Fridays, you ask. On Fridays everyone had their own specific gravity. Some people might be stuck to the ground unable to move, and once a small Blub from planet Ell had not received any gravity and had floated away out into space. He still hasn't come back yet.
This particular day on planet Nix was a Friday. Mr. Pug had gotten a normal share of gravity, which he was thankful for, but his pet Fluff had not received enough gravity. Mr. Pug held on tight to the lighter-than-air Fluff and hoped his arms wouldn't fall off. He had been planning on visiting Mr. BowTie today, but this might delay him a bit. And right at this moment the giant alien bird (affectionately nicknamed by everyone as "squawk" because he didn't talk) decided to stomp by on his morning walk. Mr. Pug shut his eyes tight and hoped that Squawk wouldn't step on him.
And the colors flared and the outcasts yelled and it was just another Friday on planet Nix.
Love the notion of having a specific gravity on a certain day. Connection: setting Andrew's gravity!
