This morning's prompt was 'blue rocks', and the mascot looks like he's got rabies...


The last three sketches, including this one. lead me to a sports bar on a gas giant moon. The GGM sketch was supposed to be a lake shore by a waterfall, a much more scenic spot than what I drew... Perhaps a casino and sports arena with a penthouse club by the water? I'm thinking a terraformed and captured rockball moon, halfway between Mars and Venus, or half an Earth mass, of an ice/gas giant halfway between Neptune and Saturn, or about 56 Earths.
The Blue Rock, Lapis Lazuli or just Lazuli, AKA Blue Heaven, is nearly a world of dead plate tectonics. It is thought to have grazed the primary, Big Daddy, gone into an eccentric orbit and swept up all BD's native satellites. It certainly looks like a wreck... Big Daddy orbits on the outer edge of the systems' goldilocks zone and Lazuli was previously an ice rockball with a thick cold atmosphere in a close, 53 hour orbit with Big Daddy. Local analog clocks are designed to run to 53 hours, 19 minutes 5 seconds and 308 milliseconds before advancing to midnight, and noon is marked at 26:26, a little bit early, for convenience.
