Oak Opening (222 posts)

    Dreams of thundering race cars, of UV lights, and exploding starships chase you into consciousness.

    “Oh, aye, definitely we should. Puir thing, so deformed.”

    You feel squished, and stretched, and open your eyes to see you way too large shoes fall off your feet.

    And something rustles in the woodland bushes.

    You’re buried in your own clothes.

    OOC: For those following these adventures, this is the version of Oak originally from Eric’s Worldwalker game on rpol.net (aka “Oak@60″).
    .
    All of Oak-Worldwalker’s threads on rpol.net are linked to from msg #4 of this RPoL thread.
    .
    The Oak@60 universe immediately preceding this one can be found here.

    Disoriented, I take this in, and gulp mentally, though mingled with curiosity.

    :: Dearest LORD, please guide and guard me now, I pray… ::

    I attempt to stretch out my telepathic senses to sense my surroundings.

    :: Ring… Are you online? Please acknowledge. ::

    Then I attempt to stretch out my clairvoyant senses to sense my surroundings, to see what made the noise nearby… and to see what the form inside my clothes looks like…

    You feel a minor protective ward take shape around you.

    ::Online::

    You are in a wood of young oak trees about twenty feet tall with two foot tall bushes dotted with berries of varied colors.

    Your form is one foot tall, very chubby, and it has ears that are eight inches long….kinda elvish in the anime way. Whatever made the noise is gone.

    :: Ring, and CU2. Are there electronic communications within detectable range? If so, begin recording now. Monitor, and summarize when ready. Analyze current surroundings. ::

    :: Identify my current form, referencing any available data on fantasy and folklore for mythical Celtic races. Identify accent origin of the individual who spoke before my form was changed. ::

    I check for vectors, both for versers and for belongings.

    :: Dearest LORD, please open my eyes, that I may clearly discern and perceive, I pray… ::

    I look around the immediate area, using my Sight.

    I expand my telepathic search outwards to see if I can touch the minds of any nearby sentients.

    I also expand my clairvoyant search, and then zoom out to see what the nearby region looks like, and zoom out further to see what the land masses look like, and what the globe looks like (if I’m even on a globe here), and discern what directions any vectors may lie relative to these macroscopic views.

    If possible, I attempt to use my Sight with the clairvoyant search…

    ::No electronic communications in range.::

    Words in pale purple with a float ‘Stop’ sign appear before you. ‘One supernormal informational action per ten minutes. The Admin.’.

    The rest of your abilities don’t even have a tickle of getting started.

    Below this floating words is
    “OK” and “Cancel” similarly floating. The wind has stopped blowing. You no longer hear noise of a forrest.

    : Interesting. Am I in a video game of some type? :

    I attempt to touch the “OK”. If that doesn’t work, I say “OK” aloud.

    :: Ring. Inform me when ten minutes have passed from now. ::

    :: Designate current form “Big Ears”. Record current form in slot over form designated “Palpatine”. ::
    .
    :: After form “Big Ears” is successfully recorded, initiate change to form “Kyle the Ariatte”. ::

    After I have changed form…

    :: Ring. I am now testing this form’s flight capabilities. If I am in danger of uncontrolled descent, initiate your own flight capability to keep us safe. ::

    And with that, I experimentally take wing.

    If I am successful, I follow the vector toward my belongings. If that is considered “supernormal information”, then I wait until the ten minutes elapse before proceeding.

    As I go, I observe the landscape near and far, getting overall impressions, keeping a particular eye open for any other sentients that may be around…

    The Ring does not reply to you, but it does shift your shape to the Ariatte.

    You fly up in the air, and soar past a small waterfall and stream. Tiny lights flicker down in the trees over the stream.

    The vector does not work, so you circle about for a bit…and you see the lights are rising up and down in a continous cycle.

    The Ring says :Ten minutes have elapsed:

    And you get no further information about the vector or from the Ring.

    But you do see large clouds a few thousand feet up, and giants walking about on top of them. The small bright lights are going up to the lowest of these clouds.

    After the Ring tells me the ten minute limit has expired…

    :: Dearest LORD, please open my eyes, that I may clearly discern and perceive, I pray… ::

    And I look at the small bright lights, and the giants, and the rest of what is visible to me, through my Sight.

    :: Ring. Inform me when ten minutes have passed from now. ::

    OOC: BTW, does it seem to be morning, afternoon, night? Fluffy white clouds or dark gray clouds? What is the temperature and weather and etc? :)

    You get no answer from your prayer, and ten minutes later the Ring tells you ten minutes have passed.

    It seems to be indeterminate time of day. Fluffy white clouds going up to cirrus clouds…those high clouds seem menacing. Temperature is uncertain, but pleasant. There is no current rain. It looks like late spring down below.

    You’re not used to flying so I’d say you’re starting to sweat a bit.

    “Admin, please list current action restrictions.”

    I glide down toward the small waterfall and stream. If possible, I use telepathy on the way there…

    “Supernormal information for next 7:52 seconds. Asked ‘Ring’ for time.”

    “Second limit: Lack of spectators leading to cessation of active account or other action. Currently 7. Null effect currently.”

    You spiral down to the two inch long bipedals with the glowing winds and bodies. They are lifting baseball sized buckets of water from the stream and carrying them upward into the sky, about every ten seconds.

    Are you ‘sending’ or ‘reading’ with telepathy?

    After I hear Admin’s explanation, I manually count down mentally instead of having Ring do it.

    I then decide to use my Sight instead of telepathy, looking around at the scene before me — the two inch folks, the giants, and whatever else I can see…

    In your Sight…

    Above the two inch folk you see a sign that says ‘go away’, and another one that says ‘ hard at work’, and a third not aura sight, but like a computer tag…

    “Level One Water Ferry: Status: At work. Name: Roger.”

    The giants all have thunderbolts in their auras, and “Level 3 Air Giant: Status: Rest. Name: Shimz’ag;kak’glg’l.azka;kjaljm;l;’.”

    You see a furred animal hangliding over your way. It seems to be looking for something down in the trees. You can’t read its aura.

    I look at myself through my Sight as well, and then continue to observe the approaching furred animal…

    #
  • Profile picture of Tadeusz Tadeusz said 6 months, 2 weeks ago:

    Clever idea, but your Sight has stopped working. Eventually, the hanglider drops out of the sky near you, and a three foot tall, furred creature gets out of it.

    “I….am a Badger. Hence….I….have a badge. Many badges in fact. Do you have a badge that allows you to go snooping on others, Mister Snoopy Snippety-Snooperperson? I…thought not.”

    Whenever he says “I”, he grooms himself a little bit, making sure his sleek fur or whiskers are placed just so.

    He then snaps his finges and out comes a bunch of Big Ears. They start putting the hangliderup.

    “Its what the Little People are for after all. Taking care of the VIps.”
