My Fairy Tale Ending

On a very random day, you woke up with an unfamiliar piece of jewelry on your nightstand. After your curiosity got the better of you, you tried it on and realised that this piece of jewelry can give you a very specific superpower.

It might be extremely useful, but it can also be extremely useless. Whatever it is, for some reason you use it and keep using it. What you don't know, is that the superpower comes with a limited number of uses.

After the invisible count reaches zero, you get transported to a forest you don't recognize. Within that forest are the other victims, and... a voice.

The voice welcomes you to the Fairy Tale Origin, which turned out to be the name of the forest. Every single fairy tale you can think of started right here. And now, you can create a new one as a main character.

Are you the villain?

Or

Are you the hero?

You could even be a supporting character in someone else's story.

Will you survive the end of your fairy tale and return home? Or will you lose and stay in the forest forever, only helping your rival get home? Maybe your supporting character changes their destiny and becomes the main character in your place, robbing you of your chances to return.

Anything can happen.

The Time Travel Disaster

It's not my fault. I didn't touch it. Okay, maybe I did, but who could have known that this would happen? I was just curious, which makes sense when your dead cousin sends you a present for your 21st birthday, right? Anyone would have picked it up, looked at it, smelled it, licked it (okay, I admit that that one was a tiny bit weird). Everything went wrong as soon as I used the tools my dad had left behind to open the mysterious, little box. It was a disaster, and that's still an understatement.

People suddenly showed up at my house. Way too many people, and I hate people. Some of them died only a couple of years ago, others came from a very distant past, and then there were also some people from the future. At first, the people that were chosen seemed very random. However, when I managed to fix the box I had broken, it showed the message that all lives had to gather for everyone to get back to their own timeline. According to the numbers it showed me, only one was missing. I tried clicking on it to get more information, and what the box showed me was shocking. The person that we were missing... was still alive! I soon realized that they all shared the same soul. They were each other's past, each other's future. Only the present life was missing. Since the box came from my dead cousin, he should be the one we are looking for. But how can I find him? He doesn't pick up his phone, and he's not at his home. Are there clues that I missed somehow?

And the most important question of all: how do I make sure that the time travellers don't die? They aren't ghosts from a different time, they have human bodies that can get hurt. They need to stay together until I find my cousin, but they have such different personalities. And how do I keep them from getting into trouble? If they get arrested, I will never be able to fix my mistake. And with each day that passes, more and more problems appear. They get headaches, become nauseated. They get incredibly hungry. How do I keep them alive on my paycheck? Do I force them to work until I have the solution? Can they even function in this society that is so unfamiliar to them?

Help.

~~~

I as the GM won't play a main character. I will write what happens to the time travellers the longer they stay in the present and I will play NPC's. Co-GM's are very welcome to share this role with.

One player can choose to be the person from the present, looking for their cousin and trying to keep everyone alive and together.

The other players can play characters from any moment in time. If more than one player chooses to be someone from the future, make sure that your two versions of the future make sense. You can't have one person writing about a future inspired by Jurassic World and then another person writing that one year later everything is going well as if nothing happened.

Magic is not allowed, everyone is a human being. You are allowed and encouraged to be creative when imagining the future. That's why I included the Sci-Fi tag.

THE BROKEN CITY

I like it :)
Definitely interested!

Ghosts of the Railway Tracks

The year 2025 is almost over. The employees of Railbell, the national railway company of the country Bellud, are excited about the upcoming holidays. While they are waiting for the CEO to make his end-of-the-year announcement, they are discussing their vacation plans amongst each other. However, their director has bad news. The company broke the record of most deaths on one line of tracks, more specifically on the mysterious line 26. This is a huge disaster, since the majority of Bellud's citizens travel by train to get where they need to be. Railbell contacted the police, who apparently already started an investigation. Even after months of searching, investigating, exploring, they were still not even one step further towards finding out the truth. With at least three deaths per month this year, the CEO of Railbell decided that enough was enough. They couldn't wait for the police to finally do their job properly. That's why he created a team that would perform their own, internal investigation.

Even though line 26 starts in the city Arunt, which is packed with well-known companies and thus a place people often visit to find a job, and continues towards the cute, little town of Pergan, the line eventually crosses a huge forest. For some unknown reason, most of the deaths on the line happen when the train comes near this specific forest. A lot of customers don't make it to the last station at the city of Niriad, famous for its restaurants and cosy taverns. The accidents have been scaring people so much that they decided to avoid taking the trains on this line, or even trains in general. And while the amount of customers has declined, the accidents keep on happening. Even when there are hardly any people present on the train, someone eventually dies.

The internal team responsible for the investigation decided to ask some of their own employees to take the train on this line and comment on their experience. The first group they sent, didn't notice anything out of the ordinary. They couldn't provide the team with any useful feedback. That's why there was a second group of different employees. They received the same order as the first group, but their behaviour was different. These people were traumatised by something and they weren't capable of explaining by what exactly. The exercise ended with a third group who... well... disappeared completely, without a trace. Not even dead bodies were left behind. Nobody knows what happened to them. So what is happening out there, around the forest between Pergan and Niriad on the mysterious line 26?

Railbell can no longer justify sending people out there to investigate. It was already labeled risky and unsafe, but now it was outright dangerous. However, the people of the company still wanted to know. They had to know. Was it the company's fault? Or was something else going on entirely? Eventually, a group of volunteers was gathered. They were the very last chance Railbell had to find out the truth about line 26. After investigating the tracks between Arunt and Pergan, the volunteers arrive at their meeting spot close to the forest. It is right there that they meet... the ghosts of the victims. Together, the team of volunteers and the ghosts try to solve the mystery surrounding line 26.

Quality is more important than quantity, post length doesn't matter (but no one-liners).
Try to reply once a week and please notify when it'll take longer.
A player can have maximum 1 volunteer and 1 ghost at the same time.

Mystical Fusion

Ever since the last and coldest month of the year 2034, humans have come back to the world after their deaths. Their spirits return, although not quite the same as before. They are transformed into warriors whose ambitions, wishes, dreams, passions, personalities, turn into supernatural weapons to use against the horrible monsters that plague the Temptu universe. Temptu should have been a warm, welcoming place for lost souls where they can wander until they get reborn and can start a completely different, fresh, new life. However, currently death doesn't exist anymore. It's not possible to be reborn anymore. Spirits come to Temptu and are either send back to the previous bodies as warriors, or they don't have what it takes and disappear after the monsters consume their energies. The people sent back as warriors keep the supernatural disaster a secret from the other living beings out of fear that their stories sound to implausible, out of fear that everyone will panic and chaos will arise. Nobody can know. Nobody should know. It's way too dangerous. They will create new identities to hide the lack of ageing. They will create new identities to hide from anyone they have ever known. They search for each other, and steal each other away from their ordinary lifes if they have to. It has to be done.

However, a couple of new warriors are ruining everything the others have worked so hard for. Some of them refuse to accept their destiny and fight too good to be stolen away from their loved ones. Others are way too eager and fight too recklessly. And others just can't seem to keep their mouths shut. Some living humans find out about the existence of the warriors. They find the places they hide at. We are talking about siblings, best friends, soulmates, partners. And after more and more living humans started to visit the hiding spots, more and more monsters started to rise. Stronger monsters even. No one knows who the monsters are, or what. We don't know where they come from, or what their goals are, if they even have goals. We only know that they are destroying everything and everyone in their path. If no one does anything, both the living humans and the spirits in Temptu will cease to exist.

Someone has to say out loud what no one dares to say. The loved ones are betraying the warriors. But all of them? Or maybe just one among them? And who says that the arrival of the loved ones is related to the growing number of monsters? Who is willing to arrest, or even end the life, of their little sister? Their little brother who is too young to understand, but also too wild to control? Who will give up the love of their life for the safety of the rest of the two worlds? Will you die by the hands of the monsters? By the hands of your loved one betraying you? Or maybe the other warriors turn against you. Or maybe, just maybe, you find out what is going on.

The food Trinity had given Evangeline disappeared so quickly that Evangeline almost felt embarrassed about it. Luckily, her happiness from the aftertaste was stronger and louder than any negative thoughts she could come up with. So this new girl moulded energy. That sounded like it could be an incredibly useful type of magic depending on the way one used it. Although she could imagine that it would take a lot of effort and creativity to get it right, so it could be a drag for the user as well. A soft smile appeared on her face as Trinity asked about Evangeline's magic, a smile filled with both excitement and sadness. "I can show you", she whispered as tears started falling down her cheeks. Her mouth wasn't moving. Her eyebrows weren't moving. One could simply see liquid running down her cheeks. No other signs were present that Evangeline was crying.

Exactly three tears dropped from her chin, only to bounce on the table showing that they now were solid instead of liquid. Evangeline grabbed the three balls with one hand and showed off one of them between two fingers. "I can store magic in these. If I wanted to hurt an enemy, I can make these little guys hurt so hard that your skin will feel as if it were on fire. However, I can also use these to cure an ally or to temporarily relieve someone of hunger or pain. Of course I'm not strong enough yet to use this magic to the fullest, but I try. Currently, my defensive moves are stronger." Not long after her explanation of her magic, she was approached by someone asking her to choose a place and colour for the guild sign.

Evangeline quickly put the balls inside a little bag she was hiding in her underwear as to not lose it, and moved her gaze towards the third person. She didn't have to think long or hard about her answer to the question. She wanted her parents to hurt. No, she needed her parents to hurt. For not allowing her to choose how to live her life. For not allowing her to be herself. There was only one way to actually hurt them. "Right here. Above my right eyebrow. Dark blue, please." If her guild sign was visible on her face, then there was no way for her face to be useful as an actress. And if necessary, she could still hide it with her bangs. And the dark blue color only made it even more visible. Soon after, the person moved on to that energetic dog, so Evangeline returned her focus to Trinity.

Matthew tried to control himself as he listened in on what the girls were saying. It wasn't right for him to hear what they were saying. They were having a private conversation. He wasn't invited. They didn't wish for his presence. But... But he wasn't doing something wrong by sitting close enough to hear what they were saying, right? It wasn't like he had anything else to do. He listened to Trinity when she explained her magic to Evangeline and ordered an other dish. Matthew sincerely hoped that this one would be more to her taste. Then the other girl started showing her magic and he was equally impressed. Another type of magic that he didn't immediately recognize! Wow! Everyone here was so talented. He couldn't believe his own eyes or ears.

When the girl got asked where she wanted the guild sign and in what colour, he knew that he was going to get the question next. He had to think about it carefully. How did she know so fast what she wanted? He didn't know what he wanted. There were so many colours and all of them sounded absolutely beautiful. They probably would look stunning. So how should he choose? Should he just choose the first colour that came to his mind? But the first thing that came to his mind was a rainbow. He couldn't get a rainbow guild sign. Or could he? Maybe he could ask! No, if it were possible, other people would have chosen a rainbow colored guild sign. It sounded like such a good idea that someone else must have tried it before. He should choose a colour. Oh, and a place of course. What place should he choose? Maybe something like on his neck, that way it would be close to his hair, since he uses hair magic. However, that way he couldn't look at his own guild sign unless he was looking inside a mirror. He wanted to be able to look at his own sign. Thus, his neck wasn't a possibility. Then what was a possibility? His shoulder? No, his clothes would hide it. But maybe it could be useful for a mission to hide it? Oh, he knew what to do. "Can you do dark pink? On the inside of my left wrist?" This way, if he needed to hide his sign for a mission, he could simply use gloves.

Omg, I just looked up what lucid dreaming actually means and I've done that all the time ever since I was a kid... without a steady sleep schedule. I don't really know how it happens or why, just that it does regularly. I use those dreams as inspiration for my personal writing.

When the bell rang in the morning, Fae quickly gathered her things and walked towards the first class. Her arms and legs are shivering a great deal. It was only for a short moment that she regretted the light clothing she picked, because she knew she wouldn't choose anything differently the next morning. Thick clothing would be too annoying to take off and put back on whenever she went swimming. That's why light clothing was best. It was easy to change and to put away in her bag.

Her first lesson was introductory biology. The course was certainly very interesting to her, but way too easy. She already studied this stuff and trying to pay attention in the lesson would be a waste of her time. That's why she took out her handbook and starting reading ahead to keep herself occupied. After the first course, she read the messages Erin sent in the group chat.

It was crazy what Erin experienced, but Fae had to laugh about how typical of Erin it was to propose trying the weird stuff out. As she didn't know how to react, she went on with her day until she read the replies Damon sent. Apparently, the idea had spiked his interest as well, since he obviously had been researching it during his lessons. Fae on the other hand didn't really know how to feel about this. On her way to the meeting spot, she thought about what to respond to this crazy idea of entering different worlds in their dreams. Fae decided to keep it simple.

I'm in if you guys are.

@BunniesOfDoom Erin is TheMushroomLord's character. Don't know if they agree with me
