Title: Eternity.
Post by: ~Neri on November 28, 2015, 10:45:58 am
Spoiler: Note from Kevak: (click to show/hide)


Of fore and past. The times of new and lost. The game has already begun and been played yet before. Won and lost. Played again and again. Few however can endure the rewards for what they truly are. ~Translated from scratchings in the surface of a weathered stone in the first reclaimed 'Deadzone.'


Eternity

 
Warm. Dark.. Comfortable.. A spark.

Constricting. No longer pleasant. Too warm. Pain. Bright. Oh so very bright.

Convulsing. Gasping. The First Breath. Cold some places and warm in others.

Towards the warm. Instinct drives. Something to nip and something to drink. The first meal.

Tired now. Time to sleep. Everything is black, a dream of purple and maelstroms.



Pick a gender. Male/Female/Both. Other inputs are not required yet.

Leaning towards female, however still gender neutralish, but we should be able to flirt with male easier, as of course, males have stupider requirements for partners in looks then female.
Other then that, +1 to all that.

Post by: ~Neri on December 04, 2015, 08:34:52 am
A selection made by something afar. A latch. A hook. This one is to be watched.. Not of one or other but of Both.



Warmth..

Quiet..

Awake.

The warm becomes distinct. Not just one warm. There are two and one.

Two similar. One big. And Time goes drifting onwards.



The light rises. As it does as it has before. Greens and whites all around.

A flicker of orange. A playful yip. It's blue up high not a grey around.

Kin of First and Kin of Third are playing. Kin of Hunting is away. Kin of Rearing is sleeping.



What two traits most define? Pick two. If one is not listed that you may think of, please state it.

Curious?
Mischievous?
Inquisitive?
Focused?
Playful?
Cautious?
Watchful?

I'll prolly just flip a coin when I get around to writing the update. Main delay is due to me sleeping most of the day every day in the past week for some reason.
Title: Re: Eternity.

Inquisitive has more votes than Focused.

Alternatively, redo the poll with two votes and all the traits listed single?

And more importantly sleeping conserves the energy required for the sudden biological (and potentially magical) metamorphosis.

Post by: ~Neri on December 23, 2015, 05:53:20 am
The mind of the Second Twitches. Defining patterns form. Of Watching and Inquiring.



The Second looks around. Its Siblings are playing. The den is quiet. The Rearer sleeps within. The Hunter is retrieving sustenance.

The Second feels an emotion unfamiliar. One of disinterest in the familiar and expected. They feel the first of many emotions. The Feeling of Boredom. The Second's mind Twitches. An odd sensation but a sensation none the less. To drive away the boredom the Second desires.

But how?



The Second desires a lack of boredom. Guide them to such a state. Or don't. The choices do matter in the end.

The world beyond calls to The Second. (https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=xOYdJAwkRDw)

Off to romp. Beyond the Glade. Leaving the Kin behind for now. The First to Roam. The Second of the Born.

Scents to smell, Sounds to hear. Sights to See.

Bright and vivid, reds and greens and blues and purples. An odd trickling sound as an almost glasslike substance rushes along a bed of rock and soil, lapping at the shore. The noises of Kin fade in the distance as the Second explores. Eventually the brightness reaches the middle of the sky. The Second tires somewhat.



Where does the Second chose to rest? Or do they return to the clearing?

The Second, fatigued and drowsy from its romp returns to the Glade. The First and Third have curled up. Slumbering.

The Rearer is expanding the Den. The Second isn't quite sure why. They and their siblings aren't big. The Hunter has yet to return.



What now shall the Second do?
