(is OPEN for new characters!)You awaken at night to the creaking of crickets and the sob of an owl. The air is cool and calm on your cheek; it smells sweet like rotting leaves and copper. You and your new comrades are collected on a low, circular metal platform that is half-buried in the dirt and looks as if it's been there for centuries; there are markings etched into the surface, obscured by ancient moss and creeping ragged vines. Above, a thick rustle of leaves and mossy branches obscures the sky, but you are not without light: a weathered old lantern hangs from a high bough of a tree, held up by a thin shimmering thread. The tree -- which rises old and twisted beside you, and whose dark gnarled branch supports the lantern that is your only light -- is ticking.
The Premise
This is a whimsical, hyper-fantasy, folklore-inspired roleplay about exploration, creativity and character development. Your character will begin without knowledge, without skills, without weapons, without supplies, and without any memory of how or when they arrived in the middle of a dense and unfamiliar forest. All they have are the clothes on their backs and their own wit. Your woefully unprepared character will be presented with the opportunity to interact with their weird new environment: only through these interactions -- and the resulting domino-effect of events -- will the true nature of the forest reveal itself.
OOC is here!
