phenix the wanderer's interactive story

[cosmic zenith]

oh...

[timber loom]

You crawl to the source of light, and begin hearing ineligible whispers. Upon reaching the mouth, you see a strange orb of light.

"Ah...", says a gentle voice you can somehow understand.

"Come closer child...".

[cosmic zenith]

(COUGH- they actaully look like scugs but im yet to flesh out a good design)

[timber loom]

?

[cosmic zenith]

be cuasious

[timber loom]

You cautiously continue on, and it feels as if something is forcibly pulling you closer...

"Very good... very, very, very good", it says

"Don't be afraid now... I won't hurt you now...".

What now?

[cosmic zenith]

"are you... who i think you are?"

[timber loom]

"What do you mean... little one? We just met... but I am your friend... now be good and come closer...".

[cosmic zenith]

"i dont like this" i wisper to myself whilst inching closer to the lgiht

[timber loom]

You inch closer, and realize you can't stop. Whatever this is has you in its grasp.

"Well done...".

You are right next to the orb.

[cosmic zenith]

listen to dialogue

[timber loom]

“Now reach out, young one. I will make you forever happy”.

[cosmic zenith]

i put my hand out not realizing what im doing

[timber loom]

Suddenly, you feel a horrid pain overtake your body, followed by a blood curling cackle. “THIS ONE IS MINE!!!! HAIL CHAOS!!!”, it yells.

Your vision is clouded by darkness.

When everything becomes clear again, the sky is blood red. Looking around, you are standing in the field outside the cave.

Around you are the bodies of your tribe mates.

[cosmic zenith]

whys the sky red?

[timber loom]

You wake up in a cold sweat.

Everyone is still asleep, but it is the morning.

Pixie and Wryn are still snoring very loudly.

Wake is smiling in their sleep. The baby lizards decided to curl up with them, probably because Wryn was inside the crate.

@quiet bridge u can play now

[cosmic zenith]

mental breakdown while they decide what to do

[quiet bridge]

=> i am still snoring very loudly

[cosmic zenith]

bonk

[timber loom]

E

What now?

Oh well guess I’ll intervene-

Wake yawns, patting the lizard’s heads as they do so.

In return, they give them some greeting licks.

That’s when Wake notices Ferdelance

“Are you okay..?”, they ask calmly.

[cosmic zenith]

i look at wake with a terrified expression i shift my gaze to my paws

[timber loom]

“Ferdelance?”, they ask.

[timber loom]

Bonk

[cosmic zenith]

IVE BEEN BONKED AAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

[timber loom]

E

[cosmic zenith]

"i-im fine." i say with a shaky voice, although i knew it was the opposite

[timber loom]

“Was it… a bad dream?”, asks Wake, crawling closer to you.

[cosmic zenith]

"y-yeah..."

[timber loom]

“It’s okay… it wasn’t real”, says Wake, stroking your head. “You’re okay…”. (THE IRONY)

[cosmic zenith]

sorry my brain cant prossess what irony means

[timber loom]

It was real…

[cosmic zenith]

oh yeah thats what irony meannnsssss

[timber loom]

E

[cosmic zenith]

"but... it was real..."

[timber loom]

“Shhh… I know, I know. It seems so real… but it’s just a dream…”. They grasp your paw gently.

[cosmic zenith]

"nonononoNO it was real"

[timber loom]

“…wait… you mean what happened in the dream… was real?”.

[cosmic zenith]

"i little bit of it." my voice is still shaky and im breathing heavily

[timber loom]

“Oh… I’m…sorry…”, they say, putting their arm around you.

[cosmic zenith]

at this point ferdelance is so broken up inside that if you ask hes just gonna spill the beans

[timber loom]

“What was it about?”, asks Wake. “ talking about my problems makes me feel better”.

[cosmic zenith]

"it was about what happened to my pack...

[timber loom]

“…”.

[cosmic zenith]

it was all my fault. i didnt mean to i-"

"im so sorry-"

[timber loom]

“…”.

[timber loom]

“It’s okay… it’s okay… things happen… we just need to move on… you didn’t mean to, whatever you did”, they say, hugging you fully now.

“You are my friend, Ferdelance. I will always understand you”.

[cosmic zenith]

"you shouldnt trust me... why? why do you trust me?

(sorry this is dragging on but sometimes i just dont know what to say to speed it up)

[timber loom]

“Because…”, starts Wake. “I was like you. I was once lonely when… this happened… and I now have many friends. I want to share that gift of friendship with you…”.

[cosmic zenith]

i look at the others are they still sleeping?

[timber loom]

Yeah, but they’re about to wake up.

[cosmic zenith]

"please dont tell them about this" i ask wait wiping the tears from my eyes trying to look normal

[timber loom]

“Okay… I won’t…”, says Wake, wiping away your tears.

[cosmic zenith]

wait for the others to wake

[timber loom]

At that moment, Lucas yawns and Autumn sits up.

“Oh, how ya doin’ kid? Checking in on our new friend?”, asks Autumn.

“Uh… yeah”.

“Morin’ Autumn”, says Lucas, yawning and sitting up.

I break now

————

Everyone slowly begins to wake up now.

“What’s the plan for today?”, asks Grady, still a little asleep.

“We… continue our search…”, says Autumn.

“For whatever caused this”.

“Um… I have a question…”, asks Mrs. Geralds.

“Yeah go ahead”.

“Shouldn’t we try and escape? There isn’t much left of this city…”.

“I know it sounds absurd, but I want to stop this disease once and for all. If we don’t, who knows if it will spread to the outside”.

“I see… but I can do no more than who I am…”.

“Well, what can you do?”.

“…I can cook, but the young gentleman over there can too”. She points to Lucas.

“Well, then that’s better! You can cook for the group too”, says Autumn.

“I suppose I should”.

“You can also look after Wake, too”.

“Ah, yes”.

“So uh, what now?”, asks Grady.

“Let’s go back to the sewers. I think there was more back there than just… never mind…”.

“Oh…”, says Mrs. Geralds

“Okay, I’m gonna need at least one of you slugcats to come with me”, says Autumn. “Their chirps seems to hurt the disease- if loud enough”.

What now?

[quiet bridge]

=> wryn has busted voice so pixie go

[timber loom]

Pixie squeaks, brandishing her bunderbluss.

“Alright good. How about… what was your name again?”, she asks, looking at Ferdelance.

@cosmic zenith

[cosmic zenith]

"ferdelance"

[timber loom]

“Okay. Wanna come along?“.

[cosmic zenith]

Uhm, sure.

[timber loom]

“Guess we got our team”, says Lucas.

[cosmic zenith]

@quiet bridge

[cosmic zenith]

Now I'm wyrn :)

TO THE SEWERS

[timber loom]

“Alright, let’s move. Just remember to look out for each other”.

———

(Fast forward lol)

You are all in front of the sewer grate.

“Okay… so who wants to… y’know, jump in first?”, asks Grady.

(You can control all of them snow)

[cosmic zenith]

down goes wyrn ready to kill... oh they grow up so fast ;w;

[timber loom]

Wryn straight up jumps in with his spear in hand, ready to K I L

“ … okay who wants to go next?”,

[cosmic zenith]

Btw I still need a trigger for freelances nightmare state

[timber loom]

E

[cosmic zenith]

Something related to water or something

[timber loom]

EE

[cosmic zenith]

Next goes Grady :)

They all follow behind him

[timber loom]

Everyone looks at Grady. “Fine…”.

[timber loom]

Everyone follows behind Grady.

———

The sewers are all dried up from months ago.

[cosmic zenith]

Help I need a trigger ;w;

[timber loom]

(Soon)

[cosmic zenith]

Or it just happens at random times ooOOoO

[cosmic zenith]

TO THE PLACE WE NEED TO GO

[timber loom]

“Behind me, and be careful”, says Autumn

You walk to the pipe

[cosmic zenith]

Btw fer-de-lance don't like autumn

[timber loom]

Y

[cosmic zenith]

Cuz I based him of me :) kinda-

[timber loom]

Lol

Anyway

——-

[cosmic zenith]

Also fer-de-lance anti LGBTQ

[timber loom]

Ok…

[quiet bridge]

would it be okay if I like
dropped out of this

[quiet bridge]

Also excuse a what now

[timber loom]

Yes

[cosmic zenith]

My character my rules

[quiet bridge]

okay but. What. Why

[cosmic zenith]

My character

My rules

[timber loom]

Idk honestly

[quiet bridge]

ok but. One just simply... disagrees with gay people???

[timber loom]

https://tenor.com/view/one-does-not-simply-facepalm-mordor-gif-14797008

[quiet bridge]

I can take this to dms if need be...

[cosmic zenith]

Don't disagreements work that way? One belief and another belief clash into a disagreement

[timber loom]

Guys pls don’t turn this into a war zone

[quiet bridge]

it's already one, phenix

[cosmic zenith]

Since when?

Is that what's going on?

[quiet bridge]

Yeah but beliefs manifest from surroundings

[quiet bridge]

since we argued about squishiness

[cosmic zenith]

Lol

[quiet bridge]

so if you don't have a justifiable reason to make them anti LGTBQ, like they have some sort of prejudice, raised like that, or exposed to that
if you don't have that, if ur just doing to for no reason
and they reflect your views
then that's kind of disturbing

[cosmic zenith]

My good sir it's just my ocs personally leave him he also raised like that and blah

[timber loom]

What if he changes his ways

[quiet bridge]

Oscar and Scar are kinda gay:

A little bit:

[cosmic zenith]

My oc my rules

[timber loom]

Ok ok but pls stop

[quiet bridge]

I think you're just saying that to maybe a little bit cover up the fact you. You

uhh DMS time

[cosmic zenith]

Please no

[quiet bridge]

If I am allowed

ig not

But. Like

oh no

[timber loom]

?

[quiet bridge]

I can definitely no longer participate in this

if what I believe to be true is true

[cosmic zenith]

This is the times I just want to end the Convo but if I do I look like I did something wrong

And my anti LGBTQ I just ment that he doesn't agree with it not that he outright hates thoughts people but he never liked autumn anyways so that just made it slightly worse

Anyway what's going on?

[quiet bridge]

So... did you point this out for a reason

[cosmic zenith]

Kinda?

[timber loom]

GUYS I AM OFFICIALLY ENDING THE THREAD GOODBYE

——————————-

———————————

—————————-

————————-

———————-//

[cosmic zenith]

:(

[quiet bridge]

bye

[timber loom]

I didn’t want it to come to this

[quiet bridge]

this was cuz it was kind of directionless, not bc of drama

[timber loom]

But of course I always get the bad end of the stick

Or deal

Whatever y’all wanna call it

[quiet bridge]

the phrase is "short end of the stick" btw

[cosmic zenith]

I liked your stick :( it was a very good quality stick

[quiet bridge]

But you didn't have any idea the origin of the Red rot?

I mean you prolly did

But then it would have a direction

[cosmic zenith]

Don't make them spoil it >:(

[quiet bridge]

I mean, it's not happening

so what's the point

[cosmic zenith]

Uh...

[timber loom]

I’ll dm it to you shining lights

[cosmic zenith]

Bye bye thread :(

[weary onyx]

Wtf happened here

[timber loom]

It all happened so quickly

So basically someone made a character that was supposed to be homophobic at first but then change because they’ve never seen anyone part of the lgbtq before, so they didn’t understand them, but would change later.

I… I’m sure you can see where this is going…

Long story short, a war broke out and I had to end this tread.

@weary onyx I’m sorry for the inconvenience

I didn’t want the mods to get involved

I felt as if I’d somehow get roped into all of it too even though I was a bystander

Thinking back now, I may have overreacted.

[timber loom]

Unfortunately this does mean my story has been halted for now

I’ll try to find a different way to use the characters

But yeah.

Guess I’ll just go back to writing my other stories, which you can check out whenever I post one

[quiet bridge]

Im pretty sure they were trying to imply they wouldn't want that to happen

[quiet bridge]

ya see

Phenix is totally just trying to make them look better, which is fair enough

[timber loom]

I was gonna try to convince snow… but I guess you’re right.

Hold on

What if we all use this thread to post art and stuff from now on?

Like an idea dump?

[quiet bridge]

uh

idk

[timber loom]

We could

[quiet bridge]

it's a story thread

[timber loom]

Oops

Well then nvm

I guess that’s why art discussion exsists

Well uh

Idk why I’m still here anyway

[weary onyx]

Well sure, I'm planning on making an interactive story and I think it would need some adjustments, I'll try not to spoil too much of it but from what I gathered, I think it's a pretty good story

[timber loom]

Do you think I could join :0

[weary onyx]

sure :D

[timber loom]

Yay 😄
