    Argent blinked. "Well... yes, but you'd need the permission of your team leader."
  2. Y jumped away on the wind, fleeing the scene of the attack.
  3. The group emerged in a back alley of some sort.

    "You can't leave the game area during the course of the game, yes."
  5. Ah, yes. Please have your submissions in by the 16th!
  6. I will declare that you must create something new for this round. Iconar would be discouraged regardless, as you have already shared it on the Shard, but you are correct that whole novels are not exactly what I am looking for. Remember that submissions must be experienceable by all voters. An overly large submission would not be experienceable to all voters within the submission period.
  7. The second round has concluded! Congratulations to @Zephrun's Imperium and @WrathofaShardKitten for tying for first place with "I Will Unite" and "Ashes", respectively! Congratulations to @Mage, @Channelknight Fadran, and @Mystic Syn for tying for third place with "Mesa Blues", "Thing.mp3", and "Luma", respectively! The current standings are as follows. @Zephrun's Imperium: 8 votes @Aspiring Writer: 7 votes @Experience: 7 votes @The Unknown Order: 5 votes @Mage: 5 votes @Mystic Syn: 4 votes @WrathofaShardKitten: 4 votes @Frustration: 3 votes @Channelknight Fadran: 3 votes @Knight of Iron: 2 votes @Isabelle6060: 2 votes @Condensation: 1 vote Third Round: Narrative For all of human history, we have shared stories and tales with each other; along with simple tunes, they are the most transmissible art. At first, stories were told orally - sometime with music, sometimes with some accompanying visual performance. Later, they were written down on paper. Today, there are more ways to create and share stories than ever before. In this round, you will be creating a narrative. There are no limitations on format, beyond that it should be experienceable by everyone. If you have limitations on what you are able to view (downloads, visiting other websites, etc.) please share them now. Get creating!
  8. I am restless. Unsatisfied. What I am doing to attain happiness is not working, and I am out of ideas.

    Generous people have offered help, but it has not been enough. The questions I have been asking are not working, and I am similarly clueless on how to proceed.

    What I need most of all is hope. Confidence. My very soul recoils from the thought of failing again; better to withdraw, to cut off caring, than to risk a piece of soul and watch it die.

    To choose happiness is not enough. At any moment, the darkness may strike. The only way to be certain of safety is to box myself off from the world; and by doing so, I push myself away from anyone who could help me. 

    To choose risk is not an option. Do not underestimate my power to sabotage myself, to make my own self-fulfilling prophecies of failure. Better to fold than wager something you don't think you can lose.

    I don't have a soul mirror. I don't know what it is I'm doing wrong. I don't know if I have any hope of fixing it. I don't know how to know what to do. I don't know how to know how to know what to do.

    Even as I write this, I feel the doubt set in. What could this possibly do that everything else I have done has not? What more can I expect than kind, supportive words that my doubts can easily destroy? What more can I expect than apologetic concessions from those who are just as clueless as I?

    The answer, of course, is nothing. I cannot expect to gain anything by making this post. The only reason to do it at all is to satisfy the part of me that needs to do something, to stave off the despair of the lost for one more moment. And because I cannot expect a response that would satisfy that part of me, I must remove the possibility of disappointment. To that end, I ask of you only one thing:

    DO NOT RESPOND TO THIS MESSAGE.

  9. After three hours searching, CS was forced to concede the impenetrability of the room to the mysterious figures behind the game. Whoever they were, they were good.
  10. X's avatar squeezed his eyes shut. The sunshine was bright, it was hot, and it was uncomfortable.
  11. X's avatar could barely even remember why he was depressed. He just... was, now.
  12. X's avatar would have glared at Nameless if he had any capacity left to glare. But he couldn't. He was too depressed.
  13. X's avatar was too energy deprived to avoid touching the floor.
  14. "This isn't going to work," said X's avatar in a muffled voice.
  15. The bed died of infectious depression. X's avatar laid on the floor.
  16. 100 Days have Passed.

    Thank You to All who joined me for One Brief Moment.

      Is it deleted or can we still see it somewhere?

      It has been deleted, although I retain portions of it in my inbox.

  17. Sorry for the delay! Here they are. Thank you so much to everyone who entered a submission! As a reminder: @Aspiring Writer @Experience @The Unknown Order @Zephrun's Imperium @Frustration @Mage @Knight of Iron @Isabelle6060 @Mystic Syn @Condensation
  18. X suggested making things too interesting to break.
  19. X pointed out that godmodding was perfectly allowable.
