Coimer

leupai:

Coimer (coy-mare) are Revix micro-films, originally inspired by Revecroix who saw commercials on Earth, misunderstood them, and wished to create their own.
Coimer are frequently nonsensical by either design, misinterpretation of the original commercial type, or a combination of the two– resulting in films that combine multiple completely unrelated themes, inaccurately mimic various Earth marketing concepts, include random numbers, text, and symbols imposed atop the screen, repeating or shouting assorted phrases, and all manner of other features seen as essential because of misinterpretation and a lack of understanding of the source material and the culture from which it stemmed.
Coimer frequently include one or more “logos”, which are often just as irrelevant as the rest of the film’s content, as well as offscreen narrators telling stories that may or may not have anything to do with the scenes presented.

Many Revix enjoy watching coimer on MiraNet, and a trend has begun where copies of favorite coimer are saved onto tech chips which can then be shared with and shown to friends.

…now i want to think about rev-style ‘commercials’
like i can just
see revix seeing earth culture and commercials and everything and being all
“look at these little brief simulations the humans are making! we should do some too, as a show of solidarity”(edited)
and of course they come out surreal and various shades of unnerving because they just completely miss the point/do not understand the concept of “selling” a thing to someone
one revix just kind of
..oh my god ‘coimer’, they call them coimer /LEUPAI LOVE MANGLING WORDS
but one of them is just

someone walking into a little empty room
gradually filling it with various living furniture
lovingly readjusting it
putting in a table
setting down an empty platter
and then just walks in with a live human and lays them down on the platter with some silverware and fruit

and then a little completely unrelated image fades into view (“a … logo? oh, those are nice! we like logos! very aesthetic! let’s have one”)
and of course the earth humans see this and re like OH MY GOD WHAT ARE THEY PROMOTING CANNIBALISM?!?!
(which..isn’t a thing to revix because why wouldn’t you eat people?)

another one that’s just

several aladri standing very still other than to pose languidly and glower at the camera
“humans seem to find disgruntled people very pleasing and desirable. See? Look!”
“That’s… that’s a clothing commercial.”

misunderstood ‘car’ commercials

Someone riding a random mount animal over a picturesque hillside while telling a story in a dramatic voice.

The story has nothing to do with anything.

Every now and then, they pass someone on the road who stares really intently at them without saying a word.
At the end, the screen fills with numbers and random symbols in bright, bolded text.
(and then the irrelevant logo of choice fades in overtop before everything goes black)

and food-based coimer are like

frequently just really lovingly-made arrangements of freshly-made food and accompanying music
the Revix think commercials are like

supposed to be little mini-shows before the main event
people probably print them out on data chips so they can swap ones they like with friends

---

oh god there are probably like so many of them that are just
various scenes of people transforming into other shit/ peoples’ fleshsculpting sessions and stuff
some Revix like making recordings of their living spaces to share with people
just, a room
nobody in it

some ornaments hanging from the wall/ceiling, slowly turning

(someone’s pet bird wanders onto the scene and begins chewing on things)
(“Aaaah no, Wimbsley!! You’re runining the whole recording!”)

---

someone looking at their messy kitchen
going “well, okay”
draws a circle on the floor

summons an asotirix demon who’s just like
“okay i can take care of this”
scene cut, now the entire kitchen is on fire
unnervingly extreme closeup of the homeowner smiling in approval

(oh my god
there’d be so many coimer just. starring tiny lizards)
people in a house having a conversation in the background
the camera is focused on a water dragon sitting on the table nearby

or a normal-sized leupai with giant objects around them

Roy Revecroix - Today at 12:11 AM
it licks its eyes, looks around
suns itself
logo fades in

nonexistentPumpkin - Today at 12:13 AM
sometimes the tiny lizard will say one sentence before the logo fades in, like
“You don’t want to pay extra for stubbing yout toe on a table, do you?”

Roy Revecroix - Today at 12:13 AM

“Schallvin cheddar is sensational this time of year, don’t forget!”

bonus points if each time the lizard (or leupai-posing-as-lizard) spoke in a randomly-selected Earth accent

leupai:

Leupai are mostly quiet when living around other leupai or species capable of telepathy, vocalizing with occasional chirps, squeaks, trills, and low rumbles to confirm the presence of others nearby or to soothe themselves as needed.

Leupai communicate primarily through empulse, a telepathic “language” consisting of projected emotions and tactile sensory information. Empulse does not utilize sound or verbalization in any way– instead being more akin to sharing one’s feelings in a direct sense.
MiraNet is used in part to record empulse for later playback, as well as to develop it into full sensory dream experiences called Scenarios. These can be shared with others as immersive virtual videos and games.
Scenario libraries are collected and curated in many sites within MiraNet so that leupai and other Revix can access, share, and freely interact with them as desired.

Scenario, or Scena, Culture is another reason for leupai tendency to be rather quiet; a room full of leupai is frequently a room full of leupai all exploring various Scenarios, either jointly or individually.

Where readable text is useful or desirable in Leupai culture, the Runix “language” is used– a collection of various runelike characters which are an effective visual manifestation of empulse in their own right.
Like Revix cryptomeasurements, Runix script is infused with inherent meaning when written or otherwise generated; a single character can mean a near-endless number of wildly unrelated things, and understanding is wholly a matter of accessing the emotive context locked within.
Attempting to translate Runix by comparing symbols is a hopeless endeavor; the script itself can be said to be telepathic, and requires telepathy to read accurately.

Even without understanding or ability to glean the meaning of Runix glyphs, the symbols can function in a magical sense, effusing the concepts that they represent into the area.
