Deep Rise : An Illustrated Xenofiction Adventure

[Nighzmarquls]

To start off this is going to be an adventure in Xenofiction, that is not to be confused with Xenophobia or Xenophelia. I will endeavor to illustrate each update and although I have a world and a few characters quite thoroughly planned out I am going to leave a lot of the plot decisions up to the collective will of the players.

Now we are going to take things a bit slow and loose at first as I build up my art and get warmed up to the format, have fun and enjoy.

or if you'd like something a little more NORMAL

EDIT:

Many thanks to snuffysam for providing some custom Deeprise music behind the scenes, I've been a total bum about getting their music integrated into animations

But they will suffer in obscurity no longer!

So go praise them or stuff

You are asleep, your mind adrift with soft indistinctness.

What do you dream?

[Shrump]

>You dream of being able to fly!

or if your species already has wings:

>You have a nightmare of not being able to fly.

[Nighzmarquls]

>Dream you can Fly

Oh Goodness!
You have never felt this sensation before, you find yourself swooping through the high places of your cavern home, up and up.
Its almost like swimming but faster, swifter, lighter. You are so free of your weight, its almost terrifying!
Ahead in the dark of the cavern you see a branching path, to the left shines harsh bright light and the eerie winds of the unknown. To the right the comforting darkness of home.
You are rushing through the air like... you don't even know! Which way do you go?

You rush to the light, its frightfully bright but the freedom and the openness beckon to you in a way foreign and unknown.


You are out!
Astounding Terror fills you, there are no walls, there is no ground to be seen, nothing felt among any of your feet!
For some reason your reminded of bunnies, but your not sure why.


You Feel a Panic start to take hold as your inexplicably drawn through the air towards one of the unknown fluffy white masses before you!

There is some ominous figure upon the white fluff, beside it is a contraption of unknown purpose, a vehicle?! an implement of torture?!

Its colors blaze in unnatural hues and painful intensity.


Helplessly you are drawn closer to the figure as you can now distinguish its beckoning limb and those eyes.

Two burning eyes that stare into you unrelenting with unfathomable purpose.



That stare you can feel it taking you in, acquiring your nature with great... care.

What do you do?!

[Shrump]

>Head towards the light. Not that you really want to go there, but you don't really have control over your dreams.

[Storm]

Go to the right.

[Armok]

> crash into the wall dividing them

[Whimbrel]

FLEE

[Naristar]

((wow nice art and your care bear us scary....))
Blink and break the carebear stare

[tippertot]

>Reach out and touch that colorful contraption.

[Kíeros]

> Attack it with whatever comes naturally.

[Gloopy]

> What are you scared about? It only has two eyes!

[Nighzmarquls]

>FLEE

>Reach out and touch that colorful contraption.

Oh dear, You are normally not that violent... But it was just so confusing and frightening, you kind of feel bad but...

they beckon to you!


you feel drawn towards the multi-hued device... but before you can touch it there is the sound of soft feet on soft ground...

Well Now What?

[YoshiEgg360]

> Find the source of the feet; the beckoning colors will have to wait.

[Wessolf27]

>Flee into the arch of many colors!

[simon.clarkstone]

> Use the first biclops's stare as a weapon against the other ones.
> Use the first biclops as a weapon against the other ones.

[Storm]

Hug the multi hued device.

You really don't want to touch the creepy biclops, I mean REALLY its so icky feeling!


Oh YUCK! you can feel the brittle little BONES and gooey tubey bits!


Oh this thing is limp and gross like, a bag of goo and rocks!


Well, that at least seems to have scared the other ones away... Now...


Its so beautiful, it beckons to you in some way you've never felt before...


You Just want too embrace it... Its just so lovely!


Oh no, Wait! you wanted to touch it!


Damn!

Now you are awake, what shall you do?

[Whimbrel]

Look around! Or...feel around?

[Nighzmarquls]

>Look around! Or...feel around?

You get up in bed and look around your familiar dormitory room.


Everything seems to be where you left it, Goodness that was a strange dream its left you feeling a bit disoriented...

Was there something you needed to do?

[Wessolf27]

>Write on your dream journal like always

[simon.clarkstone]

> Eat circle that is on floor.
> Use a cuboid from the shelf.

[Storm]

> Examine potions.
> Question what your name is.
