Covered Up: A Forum Adventure

[Aigis]

It's empty, really. You can hear the hollow sound as you tap at your chest.

You feel as though you've been sculpted out of papier-mache, your insides popped and dragged out through your mouth; left to float in this forgotten void.

You do not consider how you got here, or where here even is. All you can think about is the destitution inside of you.

It's all been lost. You don't know what, but it used to be there. The vestiges of muscle memory hinting a forgotten sense of self.

But like all things, introspection must come to an end. You cast aside the shackles of quiet brooding and focus what's in front of you. Or what isn't, as the case may be. You need to ask yourself some questions. The subtle aura your body gives off in this darkness supplies you with enough information to answer one:

Are you a BOY or a GIRL?

[bigjonny13]

Let's hope this isn't abandoned like the others.

You are a BOY.

[ZaneZansorrow]

You are an it

Totes a girl. Let's see where this rompus ride goes.

[avifors]

I like how the .gif can look like it's either facing upwards with its arm towards the heavens or facing downwards, with its arms towards the ground.

I'm going to vote boy.

[Ramatsu]

A real boy!

[MasterMerol]

No, you're a MAN.

[Spags]

I vote boy because the majority of us are boys and Aigis should balance out his male vs female drawing ratio.

[FrostDrive]

This is an interesting concept/idea. I'll be sure to check how the story continues. :D

[LegolaSS]

you draw too many girls... time to draw a boy!

[Aigis]

You decide you are a BOY. Well, it's not so much a decision as a deduction based on a cursory look at your top half, but you're pretty confident. In fact-

Umm.

Ouch, I guess. Jesus. You must have pissed off gravity somehow. You'll probably want to take a second to recover from that.

...

You find yourself in a crater of your own making. Well it was a collaborative effort between you and Newton, but he's not there to take the credit. The crater is in a sullen field. You don't think you've ever seen grass this drab. You don't... What? When have you...

With the advent of spacetime curvature, you notice a weight in your pockets.

although apparently aigis doesn't take suggestions from me :D

Examine the contents of thine pantaloons' caverns.

[Aigis]

> Examine the contents of thine pantaloons' caverns.

Ye endeavour to appraise thine newfound possessions, to bring their knowledge to thine eyes. And from thine eyes, the mind shall know them.

You find in your pockets several things. In your right hand you now hold what you assume is some sort of telecommunications device. You note its branding appears to have been eradicated with sandpaper, or some similar abrasive tool.

In your left hand you hold a couple of yima, a marble, and some pocket lint. You briefly consider how you can recognise this stuff.

Oh, and because I don't he wont say anything about it, I figure I should let you all know that Aigis has decided not to explain anything in this story. If you wish to hear something explained, you need to say >examine [thing]

[Aigis]

> Attempt to turn on the device

It's always nice to see good old fashioned politeness in our modern electronics, and-

Oh hushbuckets.

Oh darling, do you dig it. Ain't no one gonna pass you by in this outfit, looking like a man who thinks for yourself. Tomorrow never knows, but you do. Here, there and everywhere people will be all helter skelter, but you'll act naturally, carrying that weight of good fashion sense. Nothing shaking in this octopus's garden.

Alright, I'll take the bait.
