alright i just had a fun idea, I just set a timer on my phone for 10 minutes, and I'm just gonna keep writing things in this SU until the timer runs out. Not allowed to stop typing. This'll be fun. Timer currently at 9:15.

So how are you guys doing today? I'm fine, didn't go to school though. Because yep.
My dress rehearsal for my school's production of Joseph and the Amazing Technicolor Dreamcoat is today. Opening night is tomorrow. Quite stressed about that. I've mentioned this before but I play Naphtali, one of the brothers. 

7:47

wow this is going by faster than I thought. Still, 7 more minutes is a while. What to write, what to write....

Let's write a story.
ok, what story should it be...

uhhh there's a lava lamp here on my desk, let's write a story about lava.
maybe...there's some sot of underground civilization that worships lava, as it is their only source of energy. they have no sun, so these massive lava wells are what run their civilization. 

maybe writing a story is a bad idea, but I like this, I'm just gonna keep worldbuilding.

so there are these like, massive caverns that house this civilization. they are connected to one another by really tight fissures and cracks. not tunnels, more like crawlspaces. but they're like miles long. so travel between the caverns is really dangerous. you could get stuck and starve, or get hunted by some creature. yeah yeah yeah thats good, there are definitely supernatural creatures in this world. something that lives in the cracks.

3:35

maybe some sort of crazy bug swarm. if you get stuck in the Cracks for too long, you run the risk of the Swarm finding you. You'd be eaten alive in seconds. 

mmmm this is fun
ok what else.
uh
should the civilization be human? i don't think so. at the very least these people should be human offshoots. generations of living in stone caverns would change humanity drastically. but then you get too close to the dwarf archetype and i don't like that either. 

lets leave that behind and think about what a potential story could be. there could be differing levels of technology between these Cavern Cities. The ones with the biggest lava source could have invented electricity, while the smaller ones could be supremely impoverished. and because travel between the cities is so rarely done, the differences only grow wider. so...

oh heck times up.

well, rules are rules, gotta post now. maybe i'll do this again and continue. i thought for sure i'd run out of things to write, not run out of time to write it. huh.
