Make a sentient, spark-ignited leech stuck in a swamp with unintelligent company and bitter about it. Because he/she technically could leave the swamp but it always turns out very badly and its non-sentient friends keep bringing it home when it needs rescuing.

Leonin. Because meow.

>>305760
an alternative to drawing is to find pics that are vaguely similar to what you want online via google image search. This is actually VERY common. AFAIK several popular quests do that.

That being said, I don't mind a text quest and will stick with it.

I blink.
>”... I’m in a box”

Hey!
Hey guys?!
Can you tell me how to get out of here?

Press green button

Look for a way out that does not involve the two buttons in front of you, those may be traps. What senses do you have?

>>305840
That was the button I used to submit the form.
I press it again anyways.
>”Nothing happened.”

>>305841
I have very good eyesight, average hearing, smell and touch, and, since I have no mouth, I cannot taste or speak.

I DO however have a sort of telepathy with other artifacts. But you should know this, 'cause how else would I be talking to you.

>>305843
Press the Red Button.

>>305845
It makes a loud beep, but nothing else happens.

"...Hello?"

...Someone is outside.
D: What do I do?

Tap the screen a few times, or knock the sides.

Peck the sides of the box with your sharp beak.

>>305849
...I don't know if I want him to open the box.
>>305851
Ok..
I make more noise with my beak and I hear the guy jump back against something.

"I think there something in that box"

He's coming this way!

Move some more, let him know you're in a rush.

Do not panic. Remain calm.

Paused until tomorrow.
Please keep suggesting, and/or ask questions for later.

We need to take stock of what we can do to defend ourself if whomever it is happens to be hostile. Also, how did you end up as a girl in a box?
Goal: We need a floating eyeball or something that can speak for Stewart, as long as it's something that absolutely looks like it shouldn't be able to talk either.

>>305865
Where's the fun in that? We'll have to get creative to communicate without speech. Besides, the eyeball thing is already in another quest.

OK! Ok.. I'm calm... I'm calm...

Oh! It's an ELF I think. He doesn't look too bad.

"Phew!"

He sounds relieved as he wipes his brow.

"I thought that there was a person in there. It's just one of those mire things. Man am I paranoid."

...That was rude.

"Well! Better get back to work! Don't want the boss to think I'm messing with the merchandise."

He's going to close the box guys! What should I do?

I just ...used a different source of information and discovered this guy is probably pretty quick on his feet, so you have to push hard to get out before he closes you back up in there.
If you know sign language try signing, "What do you mean by merchandise?" once you have.

>>305890
So you wouldn't even go for a hovering, talking ginger plant? Huh. But I don't like being mute, it stops me from using terrifying words like prolix and pseudointellectual.

>>305913
Attempt to climb out of the box. If he manages to close it before you can, start making noise again.

As he goes to close the box, I stick my arm out to prevent the box from closing.

“Huh? This one is activated? Didn’t Boss say that these were all broken and were going to be sold to the Vulshok to fuel the forge? I’d better go tell the Boss.

Oh... he’s just walking off. Ha! He didn’t bother to close the box!

As soon as I hear the door shut I climb out of the box and look around.

Looks like a room full of crates…

There are DOORS to the WEST and SOUTH.

I really don't like what was just said there, we need to figure out where we are and where we can find people who are friendly post-haste.
Try peeking through the south door, Gordon?

Attempt to discern which exit the elf took.
Go the other way.

You are the most confusing artifact I’ve ever talked to.

I look out the south door.

There’s nobody here, but I don’t know where this leads.

>>305955

I have no idea where he went.

Sorry, room full of wooden crates, had a flashback to someone else wandering around in unfamiliar territory. Scholar, human, named Gordon. Pretty smart guy, surprisingly good with a crowbar and a hive-gun.
Continue on quietly, peeking into doors. One of them has to lead out right?

>>306000
Well, let's find out.

>>306000
Are you able to discern whether or not you are underground? Are you in a storage building, or a mine of some sort?

Wait. We're on Mirrodin, where did all this wood come from?

Okay after checking my basics, apparently the trees in the Tangle are made partially of wood, but still - who builds stuff out of wood on Mirrodin?

Also, we are an artifact you're talking to? That's good to know... Can you try and find us before we get thrown into the furnace? I would expect that being melted is not something I would enjoy. Though who knows, really.

Hey, are we green? I hope we're green. I like green. Also, blue. Let's do green and blue.

>>306416
I can get behind this. Green-blue makes the most interesting creatures.

Of course, being a myr, we're most likely either colorless or rainbow. Which is also fine.

>>306526
Blah, the really fun stuff is black-blue with some artifacts and maybe the odd bit of white if you're swimming in dual-lands but an artifact is fine too. Sol Ring and Urzatron FTW if we can beat them out of the universe somewhere.

Dear Stewart: We will continue being confusing like this if we get bored. What we're discussing are things that concern planeswalkers and we suspect you may either already be one or about to become one.

>>306416
Simic Myr? Delicious.

>>306567
What simic? The only simic thing that doesn't make me want to shudder and then purge the unworthy when I see it is the ragworm, and that only because a for-mana untap must have combos to engine out of it somehow.
Okay, the sky swallower isn't that bad considering it has flying and trample but damnit... we're polluting blue with green here, there better be some kind of payoff to it. If you're running green sometimes the basilisk is worthwhile too maybe, but ew, green... I know it isn't as weak as it was a decade ago but it's so bland and straightforward.
....Man, I miss my thoroughly broken insult-to-injury deck, built back in the day of the no-land mulligan for a thirty-card deck minimum (Shandalar, actually played real life once). Decklist: 4 Black Lotus, 4 Mox Sapphire, 4 Mox Jet, 4 Time Twister, 4 Ancestral Recall, 4 Dark Rituals, 4 Hurkyl's Recall, 2 Drain Life.
It wins on first played turn by generating a ridiculously huge cast of drain life, and requires an abacus for your mana sometimes. Once in a while the deck blew up in your face with mana burn but it was a mostly-reliable first turn win. The fact that it occasionally could blow up in your face is what made it interesting.

Don't mind me, just being the best General ever.

Also, Simic are really awesome flavour-wise, which I'd say is far more important in a quest-like setting.

>>306734
Okay, so he's a free tutor or if you're willing to play blue and green simultaneously, but there are very few combinations in magic so thoroughly antithetical to each other as green and blue normally speaking.
Nnng... wait, two galvanizer myr, two alloy myr, and we have a mana base for tutoring every darned creature we could ever want on the board in one turn if we have enough dual stuff or alternative deck-feeder methods to work it. Okay, I freely admit I must have missed a few things since I stopped playing years ago and this would seem to be one of them.
....Damnit, I had kept off of The Gatherer for years and now I've gone and cardsearched for over an hour again.

>>306762
It's like riding a horse. You never really forget all your old habits, you just need a little push in the right(wrong) direction.

Random Exploring, eh? I can get behind that.

I pick the first door on the right and am greeted by a room filled with large boxes and one suspiciously small box marked 'Do Not Open'.

>>306416
...How do I "do" a color?

>>306136
Are you guys confused? I'm holding you now. I wear you guys as a necklace.

Take note of where this crate marked do not open is in case someone chases you through this place. Opening it is our last-option distraction. Continue exploring, maybe up the ladder?

To answer your question, we were discussing varieties of planeswalker casting abilities. Specifically the ability to tap lands and other magic sources for mana and use that mana to summon allies, invoke artifacts and cast spells. These are often sorted by "colours" based on what kinds of mana they require to activate and where those kinds of mana tend to come from. The five basic colours are red, which comes from mountains, green which comes from forests, white which comes from plains, blue which comes from islands and black which comes from swamps. There is also un-coloured mana that mostly comes from deserts or artifacts, which any coloured kind of mana can also be used in place of. Most such castings and invocations require varying amounts of specific-colour and any-colour (or colourless) mana, artifacts tend to have no limits to which colours of mana are required for their use.

And our senses are quite limited in this form compared to what we are used to, many of us voices are simultaneously manifest in another form and keeping track of little details like the fact that here we are in a necklace is sometimes difficult for us. Informing us of such basic and apparently obvious things can often improve our ability to help you.

>>307331
Are you capable of lifting and carrying the 'DO NOT OPEN' box? If so, take it with you. We might be able to use it as a booster step to climb to high places, or whatever is inside as a means of distraction, as was already said.

What's inside could even be some sentient artifact they're meaning to melt down, like us.

Yeah, better to not open it just yet. Maybe you could rattle it around and listen for what's inside?

...I don't like plainswalkers.

Also sorry! I thought you knew! You're a whatchamacallit, somptinsomptin relic. I forget what Nikolai said you were.

>>307352

>After 5 minutes of trying to lift the box.


Yeah, that's not going anywhere.

>>307346
That's right! There could be another Myr in there or something!

>Hello?

>kkkzkzzkkzkkkzzzzkkzkzk-aster?kkzkzkz

Whoa, major static. I doesn't seem like it's coming from inside the box.

>>307374
Something about infinite psyche? We get that label a lot.
Oh, and it's planeswalkers, not plainswalkers. Subtle difference in the words, but one travels between worlds, the other travels over fields.

Also the first thing we remember is filling out that form, so anything before that that might be important... You know, like why you were in that box.

Also, we know we're on Mirrodin, but we're a bit displaced in time. Has the fifth sun appeared yet? Have the soul traps reverted? I assume Phyrexia hasn't made itself known yet...

Sorry, just trying to get my bearings. As for the present, "-aster"? Could be "spellcaster", or "master", or "blaster" though that one seems unlikely, or "faster", or I suppose "raster", or "taster" or "waster" though those are pronounced different. In short, not enough information.
I'm very tempted to say open the box, but there's probably a good reason that it's to be NOT opened.

>>307374
We could simply have some other poor, unfortunate, curious fool open this mysterious Pandora's Box.
Take the 'Do Not Open' label.

Also, look around. If that static isn't from the box, there might be something not-so-nice around making it.

Coalition relic or darksteel? This difference is kind of important. If I'm totally off in this identification that's important too.
We have found something interesting/hazardous to either acquire or flee from I guess--I'm not sure how to interpret static on channel correctly. Is it a myr servitor maybe? If it's a relic barrier that's kind of scary. Keep exploring and investigating as before but check periodically for where that static is coming from.
Meanwhile we should keep in mind that guy said something about a whole shipment of myr parts here. If there are any servitor, retriever, darksteel or welder myr in the bunch they may not be lying still.

I TOLD you I don't remember what you're called. You're just something my caretaker found and was going to sell to scrappers. Lucky for you I heard you and asked to keep you. I am SERIOUSLY considering leaving you here and doing this on my own. UGGHH!

>>307416
I'm not talking to you anymore.

>zzzkkzkzkzHello?kkzkkzkz

>Screw you.

>>307666
Oh, and by the way, the fact that you have us means there's a good chance the fate of the world is in your hands. Or, at least the fate of something fairly important. So congratulations, you're the chosen one.

Wait, did you open the box? Please tell me you didn't open the box yet. Okay. If you opened the box, what was in it? If you did not, then let's just leave it and find a way out of here before we all get caught and melted down.

>>307666
>The reason Nikolai is dead

Oh. Um. Sorry. Like I said, we lost our memory. I'll try not to dredge up the painful past in the future.

Moving on, whatever's behind the static is trying to talk to you. You could try moving around to see if you get better reception. That ought to help pinpoint the source.

PAUSE for a while. Sorry.
