[Angelofwishes7]

....Open your door?

 

[Windsock]

Enter the Speedforce

 

[ewolf20]

Open the door.

 

[IctoraPost]

> Open your door.

You can't open your door because it's actually just two lines and a scribble painted on the wall.​

> Smash down your wall.

Your flimsy little stickarm can't really do that.​

> Open the door.

The other door looks like it's not some kind of petty trick that someone would try to play. It'll probably lead somewhere extremely logical, relavant to the plot, and will likely set the mood for the rest of the story.​

Huh.​

=>

Okay.​

I hope you're not thinking what I'm thinking you're thinking.​

> Enter the Speedforce.

Sigh.​

=>

All right. You got yourself into this. What now?​

[Angelofwishes7]

Do a backflip

[IctoraPost]

> Do a backflip.

You do several, 'cuz you're a rebel.​

> Contemplate the meaning of life and existence in general.

What is life? The holy will of a higher deity? The strange plaything of a child god? An experiment by an undead alien race? The natural result of a pure chance? No one knows. No one can know, nor have ever known, nor will ever know. Know this, though. Know that life is worth living. Life is the lifeforce that sustains all living beings. But to have life is not the only purpose of existence. Existence can be attained by all things that exist, and some that do not.

Take, for instance, the lowly pebble. It lives is life dead and inanimate, yet it exists. It exists, not as the will of the people, nor as the embodiment of abstract concepts. It exists for the sake of existence, made of stardust and probablility, formed eons ago in the beginning of everything. It exists, because it exists. But even nonexistance exists. There must always be an opposite to everything; a ying to a yang; a day to a night; matter to antimatter; existance to nonexistance.

There does not exist a being - a being powerful beyond imagining; powerful beyond the ability for our flutteringly living minds to even begin to begin to comprehend, who trancends infinity, and the infinities beyond. This being does not exist - cannot exist. Because this is a being so immensely powerful that it can will itself from the fabrics of nonexistance and slither its way into our very own realities. This is a being that does not exist, but can exist, if it wants to. But it cannot want to, for if it were to feel a feeling of want, then it has already breached the walls between nothingness, and it would be too late.

Of course, though, this is mere speculation on the part of an insignificant living being, who cannot even understand their own lives. They can only contemplate, and, when a feeling comes into the mind, feed it, make it grow, build it up, until- ​

==>

Ow.​

> Combust.

You reach into the furtherest depths of your living being and discover your hidden affinity for one of the three fundamental elements:
COMBUSTION.​

==>

Aaand now it's gone.​

==>

Oh, looks like you've landed.​

==>

It's almost as if someone tried to draw a dark hallway, but didn't know how to, so settled for a bunch of squiggles and making it very obvious that this is supposed to be "DARKNESS".​

[Ranix Aurus]

>Grab the torch and throw it toward the "darkness" in hope of killing it

 

[Angelofwishes7]

Enter the darkness

 

[IctoraPost]

> Grab the torch and throw it toward the "darkness" in hope of killing it.

Feeling a bit adventurous, you swipe the torch off the wall and attempt to use it to physically murder the scary darkness.
You fail.
And now it's stuck to your arm, for some reason.​

===>

Better put that in your inventory!​

==>

Nah, just kidding.
You don't have an inventory.​

> Enter the darkness.

Before you do, though, you notice that the 'N' in 'DARKNESS' isn't even an N. It's an I and a U drawn close together to make it look like an N. Sneaky, sneaky, sneaky.​

> Enter the darkness.

Okay, okay. You enter the darkness.​

==>

So it really was just paint.​

>Consume the paint and gain its power.

 

[Spicy Serious]

>Make a masterpiece with the paint.

 

[IctoraPost]

> All these dead images...

What dead images?​

> Make a masterpiece with the paint.

Dun dun dun duuuuuuuun!​

===>

===>

It's a masterpiece. An absolute, total, beautiful masterpiece.​

===>

You don't even know how you did it.​

> Consume the paint...

Your blank stickface doesn't have the capacity to do that.​

> ...and gain its power!

Through the ancient ritual of smashing a paintbrush into your face, you have attained an affinity for the second of the three fundamental elements:
PAINT.​

===>

Aaand now it's gone.​

===>

Hmm? What's that sound?​

===>

Oh, no! It's a monstorous Speed Demon, many of which inhabit the Speedforce! Whatever will you do?

[IctoraPost]

> Quick! Panic as loudly as you can!

Your nonexistent stickmouth doesn't work very well.​

> Sacrifice the paint bucket as an offering for the demon.

It doesn't seem very interested.
And now the paint can is also stuck to your arm, for some reason.​

> Use COMBUSTIONTURGY LV. 1:

====>

Hmm?​

====>

It's reacting to your inner affinity!​

> Fire at Will!

====>

====>

It's not very effective...​

====>

The Speed Demon, who you had suddenly decided to call Will, has leapt at you. Whatever will you do?​

====>

Nothing, that's what.​

====>

Speed Demons don't like fire, apparently.​

====>

Uh oh. Looks like you're cornered. I wonder what you could do.

[IctoraPost]

> Sacrifice the paint bucket as an offering for the fire.

Giving your bucket of highly flammable paint to the encroaching fire? Great idea.
That was sarcasm.
Stop that.​

> Take your new friend and escape out the door.

You can't open the door because it's three lines and a scribble painted on the wall.​

> Run straight through the door.

What kind of idiotic idea-
...
Huh.​

===>

Oh, you're back here again.​
