Thread: A Lot of Tiny Worlds

Oh. Didn't hear you come in. Here, grab a seat. Comfy? Oh. I'll continue anyway.

Allow me to take you to another place. Another time. Another era. Another... something or other. Ahem.

Welcome to the World of Blue Crystals. It is but one of many shining worlds, scattered across the void like gemstones on black velvet. (If you can't afford gemstones, black velvet, or both, and cannot fully appreciate this metaphor because of it, just throw some glitter around the house.)



Today is a brand new day! Or night. Hard to tell, really. It is a brand new something, though, and on this something, a creature emerges from its humble abode, scraping the sleep jelly from its oversized eyes.



And today (or tonight) is unlike any other day (or night)! This is the day (perhaps night) that everything changes. This is the moment that an old life is left behind, and a new adventure is begun! An adventure to visit new worlds, meet strange people, and find bedazzling riches beyond anyone's wildest dreams!



But wait! Such an adventure requires- nay, demands more than a simple inhabitant of the World of Blue Crystals making such a bold decision! It requires tools and supplies! It requires a ragtag group of other weird creatures! More importantly, it requires our protagonist to have something approaching an actual identity!



Oh come on, it's just a little name. How much harm can a name be?

That's right, her name is Lapis Chill! Now, moving along! Lapis is on an adventure. She wants to see the world!



Well, okay, not this world. She's seen this world. It's not particularly big, and it used to look prettier before all the blue crystals were mined and harvested a few years ago. Most of her kind left around that time with the crystals, but she decided to stay.



Mostly because the last batch took the last transport in this world, leaving her totally stranded. But it doesn't matter. She's going to see all the worlds she can! Find riches! Be amazing! Go down in history as Really Cool And Awesome Adventurer Deluxe Supreme Amazing Lapis the Great!



Once she can figure out how to get off the world, that is. She knows that the voideels tend to drift by and have no problems somehow moving through total nothingness, but she hasn't seen a voideel in-



-approximately two seconds ago. She has no tools or possessions on her, but opportunities like this don't come along very often. What should she do?

>Hop on up there.

Jump on one of those white things and then grab onto the eel!

Climb those white mushroom-esque things and jump for the eel! It's the only way to escape!

> Jump, woman! Jump!

Lapis stares up at the flying creature, and builds up her resolve. She hasn't often tried such a death-defying stunt as leaping up onto mushrooms and onto a flying voideel.



Actually, she's never tried that before in her life. But this could be her only chance. She decides to take it.










And it is a chance well taken. As the voideel leaves Lapis' home behind, it surrounds itself in a bubble. The voideels form these bubbles to allow them to slip between worlds more easily.

It just so happens they also capture enough breathable air for any passengers, desired or not, to survive the trip.



The void between worlds is not known to be a colourful place. It is hostile, grey, lifeless save for bizarre creatures like the voideels. But even the voideels do not linger between worlds for long.



Lapis has no idea where this one is headed. The closest worlds she can think of are the worlds of Red Wires, Yellow Orbs and Green Spikes.

Or she may end up heading to a different world entirely. Where does she end up?
