Red.
Red is what you first see when you come to.
There is no variation, nothing to see. Just a plain expanse of light crimson that stretches from east to west. Hanging in this cloudless frame is a dull circle, bleeding faint light colored like embers.
Then, you look around, your vision wavering and blurry, small shadows around you that you can barely make out moving to and fro. All you can be sure of is the blue around them.

[X] - A pair of roughshod worm leather heels wrapped together in plasteel chains.
[X] - Frayed rope wrapped around sand-abraded feet, one covered from toe to ankle in polyps and other pocketed with sun blisters
[X] - Sparking wire woven through the steel simulacrum of man feet.
[x] - A grievous rusty clamp bound around your legs and tail
[x] - Stumps that once were your gloriously sized hyphae
[X] - A pair of bolas wound tightly around your blue-skinned ankles. You can make out the whorled tattoos of the sand krakens that your clan has worshipped for millennia.
[X] - A series of worn out hyperelastic myo bands wrapped around two pawed feet covered in spotted, tawny fur
[X] - A long thick chain wrapped around your craggy feet. It’s attached to a crackled marble bust of a former Autarch, their face sculpted to inspire command and fear.
[X] - An obsidian black ontological anchor driven into the ground that binds your two-dimensional form to this plane.

Mirage is a dice-based quest based on the tabletop RPG: Vaults of Vaarn. The setting is essentially a dying-earth retrofuturistic science fantasy RP with vibes of Dune, Moebius and Gamma World. People are free to join and leave the quest at their leisure at any time. Their only requirement for participation is to vote an action or dice roll in the OOC tab. Actions are decided based on simple majority whilst dice rolls are decided by whoever rolls first.
