[DungeonWorld] Rhone - Faes, Halflings, and Elves OH MY!~

Geckle was small and quick enough to duck through the traffic along the wide roads that led to the gate, carrying his book in a bag along with his other equipment, excluding the spear on his shoulder, of course. The bustle of the city was not what he wanted to be travelling through, however, especially with the lack of shade as the sun grew higher and his increasing self-consciousness of his weapon. Would it waste time to find another route? ...Well, there are goblins on the move. But I don't like this, not now. The halfling shook his head slightly and wondered. The markets are covered, but they're an even busier detour. Between the houses it is, then. He side-stepped a heavy cart blocking his way and hurried into another street, always taking the emptiest route that was on his way.

Pleased with his progress, the druid slowed down in a lonely space behind two rows of older, taller buildings. Moss grew between the bricks, and the back doors all seemed to be locked and ignored. It was calming. Geckle relaxed into an easy walk until a sudden, harsh noise scratched at his skull, and he turned with a yelp. What's this close? A thin, but large dog with no collar barked desparately behind him, scrabbling on the cobbles. Its voice was hungry enough to try and take a bite from a stranger. Running was the first instinct, thinking the second, and the idea of standing his ground with a weapon did not occur to Geckle. My Tongue won't get any respect here, not from him... Agh! Before he could return to the safety of the road, an unfortunately loose stone tripped his run, and he made a short crash into a wall with his left shoulder. No, no, not yet, there's still time to run, I can just... He still had enough distance to stay away, and safely, if startled, he made it back to the sunlit main road- Within sight of the gate, no less. The desperate dog followed briefly, but the noise and multitude of people made it scurry back into its place.

Cowardly thing... Like me. Geckle examined his shoulder, seeing the spear, admitting to himself with some shame that the stray would have been a pushover if he'd thought to act aggressively. ...Goblins next, or whatever we find on the path. This is a problem, Geckle. Just learn your lesson and use the thing! Promising himself to show some guts (Ugh, vile expression) next time, the halfling made it out of the gate and leaned on the wall, trying to see if he'd dropped anything, perhaps, or taken any noticable hurt, waiting for the rest of the group. A bruise on my wrong arm, I think... I can still move. I'm ready. Ready he waited for a while before he began the walk with his companions.

Origin of Species

I'll get something done in Dungeonworld then screw around here. I have a cunning plan.

Draexzhan said So, there's fire feeders, the forgotten, the big clump guys, the stinger dudes, the toxic folk, and the guys that just eat, correct? (Scientific names, of course.)

And my flat flopsies- I mean, fractal growths.

marcopolonian said That reminds me, I need a nickname for my critters as well.The problem is that there really isn't any dignified way to use "bubble" in a name...

BUBBLES FOR THE BUBBLE GOD
CELLS FOR THE CELL THRONE

Ok done. More longness.

Ok... My turn now, I think? I'll commence work in a few minutes.

Late to the party

It's getting close to that time...

Tempest said Squee, its not the surgery that you should be worried about. Its the fact that some stranger has your teeth and may be attempting dark rituals with your missing body parts after the fact. o.o

What if Squee teeth grew into new Squees if they're planted in the ground and watered with blood? o_o And then those Squees need to have their wisdom teeth removed eventually, and the teeth grow into new Squees, and the cycle continues until Squee outnumbers us and ushers in the Squeepocalypse.

marcopolonian said Ugh, if any of the stuff I said in my last post is physically unfeasible or implausible, feel free to correct me. Among other things, I have a feeling I'm completely inaccurate on the stuff with aggregations and such.

Quick on the mark with photosynthesis considering it's taken other players a bit more detail to start developing, but eh, it's fine. Stromatolites are already bubbling as they exhale/photosynthesize, BTW, but it doesn't change anything, so still good.

yoshua171 said Made my post. Since I did so much, I made sure to integrate some mistakes. It's certainly not a perfect system, but hey, it's gonna be interesting when things start to really speed up!

Hm, see, this is why we have Sphere limits. The limit here is how quickly or slowly we do things, not doing a lot of things and then making a lot of mistakes in the same time to 'make up for it'. Like I said, this I'll let slide- On condition that you slow down yourself considerably next post.

Draexzhan said I'm a bit confused. I got the impression we all got our own parts of the world, and that every now and then species would cross between different spaces. but from what I'm reading of the rp, it looks like we're all sharing the same space.

We're all over the place, but our species are spreading and most of them share the same habitat (calm shallows with a lot of blue-green algae). So we'll all be interacting on top of each other pretty soon.

Why not Zoidberg?

Kyelin said Hope I didn't post prematurely.I'm not too sure how enhancements work still. Is it entirely up to us being reasonable with evolutionary steps, or do you approve enhancements and make sure the game stays balanced?

It's hard to measure even with the percentages. :| I might make changes or recommendations here and there from OOC, but yes, it's mostly self-moderated. If an Entity changes too much in too little time I might keep their changes intact but restrict their ability to make further changes for a while, if that's possible. As for posting, no it's perfectly fine. [:
