In this RP, we all collectively control a hivemind of big bug creatures. The hive of bugs has only just achieved a rudimentary level of sapience, and while great things might be coming for it, the Hivemind is unfortunately somewhat divided and schizophrenic. What's going on inside the bugs' heads sounds more like a party full of screaming kids than anything resembling organized directions.

And you can be one of those voices! Just step on in and start shouting out orders.

Periodically I will post a prompt that says what the Hivemind has been up to (which might include a few suggested courses of action and/or a picture) and then everyone can post on the IC to say what they want to happen next. For instance:

[hider=An Example]Prompt: [i]Some of the Hivemind's drones are acting lazy and sluggish. Maybe they are sick.[/i]

Person 1: Have the other bugs eat the lazy ones!
Person 2: Throw them into a river before they spread the sickness!
Person 3: Eat them!
Person 4: Do nothing and hope that it all works out!

The bugs would probably end up being eaten in that example, because multiple voices were shouting to do that and we all know that you win an argument by being louder than everybody else. But disclaimer: sometimes the Hivemind might not choose to be democratic and perform the most popular order.[/hider]

And that's basically it! It's not very complicated, so let's get started.

With a start, the Hivemind sudden realizes that it is aware! Its species has probably existed for a long time, but they have only just achieved sapience and have very little memory or knowledge of anything except for their immediate surroundings. The Hivemind has a few hundred drones and a single nest located in a grassy area between the edge of a forest and a small river.

The Hive has long been stagnant, sending lone drones to forage for food in the forest (risking death by the hands of predators) and gathering just enough to sustain itself and scrape by. Now that the Hive has an intelligence, perhaps things will change.
