Caber Discotheque.
a.k.a. Caber! At the Disco,
a.k.a. Caber! Caber! High Voltage!

In the more urban places of the Caberworld, sometimes you may hear a faint pulsing beat, and see a little ramp leading down to an underground space where the floors are lit, and the mirror-balls BIG.

Cabers may not be known for their musical skills, or even their musical taste, but they certainly appreciate the efforts of others.
It is probably music that is the greatest thing they appreciate from our own world.

Humans are welcome to partake in the dancing at such places, but it is advised to be mindful of one’s head clearance, especially near the giant mirror ball.

There are two main styles of dance among the Caber people - the vigorously head nodding & booty shaking type as illustrated above; and the elegant step-bob-&-weave numbers that are generally a slower and more classical form of dance, reserved for more stately occasions.
(The latter may also be accompanied by the wearing of elaborately crafted headpieces!)

(This piece was definitely heavy on the colouration overload, and also so.many.feet!!! I would love to revisit the dance styles in an animation, someday. :) )

The Assorted Ties of Dappy Squanks.

A small entrepreneurial caber, with a passion for brightly coloured silk ties, Dappy deals in the organisation of boxes of stuff, and occasional things.
Buttons, scratch blocks, bathtubs, vinyl records, duck-feed - if it needs sourcing, Dappy is the tastefully attired Caber-of-Business for you! :)

The Mallard.

It walked into the Science Building one day, and never left.
The unofficial mascot of the Caber Scientists, it is the bane of many experiments, especially the ones involving the Large Bathtub Collider, where it sometimes makes its home.
None of them have been able to chase it out as it can be quite threatening.

Accidentally Cake.

- The Caber Smalls strike again!
Never leave a plate overhanging a bench…

“You are Oversleeping.”

(Reposted without the filter!)
Promised I would do this when the 30 day span was over. :)

Education.

Communication for the Caberoi consists primarily of “emotive scratch/vocalisation” and hand-gesture (sign), with occasional pictograms to provide clarity or context.

Cabers do understand human speech (if they are exposed to it sufficiently) but lack the vocal dexterity to mimic it. Likewise, humans of the Caberworld have become accustomed to the gestural signing, and the emotive intonation of Caberspeak to get a good enough understanding of simple conversations.

Teaching a young Caber is a bit of a mission but usually something gets through in the end! Most of them pick up their learning via communal experience, with supplemental ‘lessons’ to help along the way.

Discipline and concentration of effort usually comes with age, when their boundless curiousity obtains more focus.

An Egregious Waste of Toast.

The Smalls are doing what young Caberoi do best - making a mess in pursuit of some esoteric goal or other.
In this case, the goal is not to jump, when the toaster goes “pop.”
I am also now out of bread, and the resultant plethora of cold toast all over the floor is not exactly edible either. Thank you, Smalls…
