.....To move in these blue dunes is to be marooned in the past, for I drank from the ikor of slumbering mountains and recited cants of yore to the hums of their quivering star wombs.....

- Last Words of Jhull Khonia, Apostle of the Promised Sun


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. By the Titans, it’s everywhere. Dunes that glide and curve around the phtalo plains and in the distance, pale mountains that look li

You try to move your body but something pulls you back, preventing you from any further. Looking down at your legs with growing frustration, you see.......

Pick one choice and post in the OOC.

[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.

The sandy winds whisper your name to you………
>>>Cirus
What a strange name. The vowels bring back some memories from a distant dream. Hazy and filled with laughter. Ghost murmuring against the howling winds of the desert.

The stars flash above, dying constellations painting a picture of your past. Clouds of comets swirl in an image only you know is true to your heart, the truth for why you left the safety of your clans, it was because….

>>> Write in...

At first, it was a forbidden love. Then, it was out of exploration, traveling to the distant land in myth and legends. But then, it was simply out of necessity. Because, apparently, there is no longer a home once I embarked on this journey. I called the world my home, its multitude of people as my people, forfeiting the safety of my birthplace in exchange for the vastness of the world. So now, I wander off to the distant shore and its people. Traveling become the only constant in this life.

I became a nomad.

Your thoughts are interrupted by a snide comment that scrambles your mind for a moment. Your Vaarnish is well-spoken but many years wandering the phtalo plains of the Vaarnish Interior have left your verbal lexicon lacking. The snide comment repeats itself again, as it grows closer in your ear.

“ Well, look who we have here.”

[X] - A locked metallic box with numerous biometric padlocks. Sounds of loud squawking can be heard from the inside.

[X] - An outline of a sickled knife shaped from shimmering candle-light. The iconography of Amun-Oh is stamped on the hilt; a scarab with eight legs and a snake’s tail is stamped on the hilt.

A weapon would be useful in case of coming to anyone else. Or, give us more leverage against other travelers when making demands.
