[Illusion of a quest AKA ONE SHOT.]The eternal malice of the sun bothers you from a long and weary sleep.You open your eyes for the first time.The world appears boundless and without form.You open your mouth and let out no vagitus to rend the air.The horizon is empty and full of opportunities.You are but a newborn and yet it is not hard to stand.Let's begin.
It is terribly bright out here.Hardly anything can be seen.>LOOK>TOUCH>WRITE IN?
>>6350514I shoot the sun five times with my .38 snubnose revolver
>>6350514>HEAD NORTH.
>>6350514>TOUCHToo bright to look.
>>6350514>TOUCH
>I shoot the sun five times with my .38 snubnose revolverYou think and it is so.The gun feels light and easy to hold in your (hand).You can feel the bullets rattling around in your inventory like spare thoughts.Yet the SUN is in your eyes now and the inescapable LIGHT seems to scour your mind of its half-formed intention. You falter for a moment, drained from the act of creation.Your mind turns.Something has been lost, yet some things have been gained.You gained:>Snubnose revolver>7 .38 bullets>SHOOT interaction verb.By what means was such a miracle made possible?>Willpower. (Gain the MANIFEST verb.)>Craftiness. (Gain the CREATE verb.)>Authority. (Gain the DEFINE verb.)>WRITE IN.This sense of power is fleeting.This verb may be used two more times.
>>6350579>Instinct. (Gain the REMEMBER verb.)
>HEAD NORTH.>TOUCH.>TOUCH.You head NORTH.Something is here, but you cannot make out what it is.>TOUCH.The light feels good against your (flesh).The weight of your gun feels familiar, though you have never held one before.The smooth metal and solid handle feel more solid than anything else, though you have not yet touched anything else besides this gun.Every sensation is new and novel and almost wonderful to your sense of TOUCH.You wonder how it would feel to TOUCH and LOOK at different things.You wonder how it would feel to SHOOT with>conviction and proper intent.>LOOK>TOUCH>SHOOT>MANIFEST/CREATE/DEFINE>WRITE IN?
>>6350585>TOUCH THE SOMETHING
Suddenly, you remember something.You remembered something important.>Gain the REMEMBER verb.Woah. Déjà vu!Nostalgia is the most (powerful/destructive) force in this entire world and in the chaos and ruin of it.It is not so much anamnesis as much as a precious collection of faded memories from a past time that may have only vaguely existed.A stranger in a strange land with the SUN in (his/her) freshened eyes and the heat scorching (his/her) cheeks.The world is fluid, so much like a dream, yet the dreamer stirs. Certain minutiae may sometimes come into startling focus.This may prove helpful yet on the journey ahead.You gained: >INSTINCT. You may reflexively RECALL one important (fact/guess/rumor/belief) upon an initial encounter with something. This does not subtract from your own REMEMBER pool.>REMEMBER interaction verb. Limited use, can be replenished. Can be used to (recall/conjure/invent/define) information about something without being prompted.>TOUCHYou reach forth and from the (dust/sand/powder/plastic/ground/metal), you feel it...What is this?>The rusted metal of a HELMET.>The ragged felt of a HAT.>The heavy visage of a CAPIROTE.>DRAW IN.And to whom does this belong?>A KNIGHT. (Gain a KNIGHTLY (Physique/Body/Projection/Structure).)>A COWBOY. (Improves your SHOOT verb.)>A WIZARD. (Gain the CAST interaction.)>WRITE IN.RECALL... (Answer ONE question.)>What organization does this object denote?>What manner of work does the wearer do?>How do the people view the wearers of such a thing?>WRITE IN.Big thanks and many apologies to BananasQM's experimental Be My Fantasy QM quest.
>>6350696>The ragged felt of a HAT.>A COWBOY. (Improves your SHOOT verb.)>What manner of work does the wearer do?We amnesiac cowboy quest now.
>>6350696>>6350708Clarification for the RECALL vote:Choose AND answer ONE question. Be as vague or as specific as you'd like. It has to be ONE thing you (know/think/believe) about this object. So around a concise sentence or two.
>>6350696>The ragged felt of a HAT.>A DETECTIVE (Improves your SHOOT verb.)>What manner of work does the wearer do?He regrets
>>6350711Oooh, okay,>A COWBOY. (Improves your SHOOT verb.)
>>6350830Your first answer was fine. I meant along the lines of you, the player, answering the "what is this?" question AND the "whose is this?" question AND choosing one question to answer among the RECALL prompts. Three different things to fill out. Your first answer was fine, I am merely asking you to answer the RECALL category question you chose, much like the second voter has.
>>6350696>The ragged felt of a HAT.>A COWBOY. (Improves your SHOOT verb.)>How do the people view the wearers of such a thing?Simple-minded husks obsessed with JUSTICE and LAW.
>>6350834Ooooh.>>6350708>What manner of work does the wearer do?Lonesome work, but honest... Mostly.
>The ragged felt of a HAT.>A COWBOY.This is a simple hat, widebrim with a high crown.You put it on.It fits you almost perfectly.Crowned like the true king of the plains.The SUN, the bright bursting nightmare, abates under the cool custody of its shade.>What manner of work does the wearer do?Lonesome feelings and the melancholia of life have indelibly stained this trinket.It resonates with you...Sense impressions of a thousand years of solitude at the edge of the earth.The bittersweet certainty that even that would coming to an end soon.No more honest work to be done, no more frontier for the frontiersman.The cowboy's life was a very brief flashpoint in an already brief history.His heart was desolate and terribly distant from his fellow man, his mind wandering like a darkling star.He struck out alone one more time and it was to be his very last.Then twilight was upon the pale of the desert and he was nothing more than a silhouette (crawling/moving/brooding) across the blank canvas of the earth like the fading letters of a long, long story that had reached its conclusion at last or perhaps one that is yet to begin.You gained...>CLASS: COWBOY.There was a hat here.There is now a hole here.Even in the least of actions, you've made a mark on the world.Well, what happens now, Cowboy?>LOOK >TOUCH>SHOOT+>REMEMBER... (TWO USES REMAIN)>WRITE IN?The Remember write in was very very good.
>>6350881>LOOK BACK>Adjust>Maybe it was a SAA Colt afterall?
>>6350881>WRITE IN?'Huh, I guess this snub is actually a Colt Peacemaker?'
>>6350881>LOOK
>LOOK BACKWhere you started is indistinct as each part of the world to another except where you reckon it to be.You might be the only person to remember where this place (is/will be/remains).It's comforting in a strange and lonesome way.>Maybe it was a SAA Colt afterall?>'Huh, I guess this snub is actually a Colt Peacemaker?'The first syllable dislodges itself, then the rest of the words fall out and tumble into place."Huh... I guess this snub is actually a Colt Peacemaker?"The sound of your own (voice/timbre/potency) startles you.You were unsure you had it to begin with.However, you certainly have one now.The words are in the air and it is too late to take them back.You gained...>TALK interaction verb.The gun in your hand turns (sticky/fluid/thick/ambiguous) as soon as the words leave your mouth.You see the mechanisms shift and writhe to accommodate the alteration of the whole.Bullets grow subtly like brass seeds.And it is so.You lost...>The .38 SNUBNOSE REVOVLER.>7 .38 bullets>One REMEMBER use.You gained...>A COLT SINGLE ACTION ARMY (6/6 rounds remain)A soldier's weapon of choice.Your rounds slide into the cylinder just fine.{COWBOY} Six bullets. Enough to bring peace to your enemies and relief to your fev'rish mind.It's a Colt Single Action Army. {COWBOY} Your mind wanders... What else are you supposed to do with a gun and nothing to SHOOT at?>Put the barrel in your mouth. Feel it jammed in there.>Put the barrel in your mouth. Taste the metal. Kiss her sweetly and passionately.>Eat the gun whole.>Shoot yourself to increase your bullet resistance.>Unload it. Then reload it. Then do it again.>WRITE IN.>LOOK >TOUCH >SHOOT+ >TALK>WRITE IN?
>>6351040What do you want to...>LOOK>TOUCH>SHOOT+>TALK>REMEMBER (ONE USE REMAINS)>WRITE IN?One day, 4chan(nel) will have a fucking preview post function.
>>6351040>Unload it. Then reload it. Then do it again.>Then again>Then disassemble it and reassemble it >Then unload it and reload it. >Then toss a coin in the air and hit it with all six bullets before it hits the ground in an ostentatious display of marksmanship>Remember how you learned to do that...
>>6351040>Remember the enemySomething to shoot.
>>6351064+1>>6351040
Rolled 5 (1d6)>A GRATITUOUS EXHIBITION OF SKILL!Alas, alack.You have no coin to shoot at!{COWBOY} "Mmm..."You really ought to keep track of what you have on your (person/body/interface)...You gained...>INVENTORY interaction verb.CURRENT INVENTORY:- Ragged Hat (Equipped)- The Colt Single Action Army (6/6 Rounds)>Unload, reload, disassemble, assemble, again, again.Remade... and undone.Remade... and undone.The gun comes apart in your hands.Its innermost workings are laid out before you like great handfuls of metal viscera drying in the (dust/sand/bonemeal/silver).In your mind you assemble gun together before your hands continue their dev'lish unwork and you notice something you haven't before...INFORMATION:I will roll a 1d20. You will give me an answer(s) to the question if one is asked for.>20 — There seems to be nothing amiss about your gun. (No answer required.)>10-19 — There is something remarkably unusual about this gun... (What is it?)>2-9 — This gun is very much not what you thought it was... (What is the nature of this gun?)>1 — :) (An answer will be given.)>REMEMBER... The ENEMYYes, there must be something to shoot at.Something which bears you much ill will.Or something you bear much ill will towards.What right man would have it any other way?DAYLIGHTHOUR: PRIMEDIFFICULTY: 1d6>All anons, please describe [dice roll result] defining features of this creature.INFORMATION:I will roll for the DIFFICULTY of the enemy in this recollection, which is determined by the HOUR of the DAY. Each one of you anons will tell this many defining features about the enemy. For example, on a roll of 4 on the 1d6, one anon can say: 1. The enemy has the shape of a rod.2. The enemy is the size of a longhouse.3. Beware the enemy's venomous bite!4. The enemy is most commonly found guarding mystical amulets of fabulous power in dark and damp dungeons of doom.Make up whatever you'd like :) Afterwards, I will either roll to randomly choose different traits in sequence or choose the funniest ones to put into one creature, and the total facts will equal the difficulty level. Something like an exquisite corpse, which you will almost certainly will make afterwards.Alternatively, forgoing the memory making...>BAD THINGS COMING. (Refund the REMEMBER use, skip my stupid minigame, and fight an already existing opponent at the DM's amusement.)Merry Christmas, you filthy animals. Hope you eats lots and be well today.
Rolled 5 (1d20)>>6351425Here is the roll for your Colt.
>>6351425>What is the nature of this gun?Oh, this is a S&W TRR8... It's the revolver the SAA would dream of one day becoming... 8 round cylinder chambered in .357 Magnum, pin point grouping, reduced recoil, as reliable as a beer on a hot day... And it has an under-barrel bayonet on its front rail? Raises questions about what kind of cowboy I am... But I'm not asking them right now. >REMEMBER... The ENEMY 1. He makes no sound at all when he moves, not any sound at all. 2. He is completely invisible to the naked eye, or any mundane means of visual observation - mirrors, cameras, thermal, nothing of the sort. 3. He can only kill using his knife, which is not invisible. To clarify, he can pick up and use whatever tools or objects he likes, but he cannot use anything to take a life. The one exception is His Knife. 4. With an unutterable vastness of singleminded vitriol, my Enemy *HATES* me. He hates me with every fiber of who he is. 5. When he chooses to do so, perhaps while fighting as a distraction and most certainly while stalking his prey, my Enemy loves to whistle - and is preternaturally skilled as a whistler. The proverbial knife for a gun fight.
https://youtu.be/eZtgXdJ5Qc4?si=oehnh62ECZSe4Wli sharing for vibes Merry Christmas QM! This is a VERY ambitious premise for a thread, and it seems very challenging to hit all these different numbers the way you are. You're really nailing every step so far. Very high quality thread.
>>63514251. The enemy is weakened by the sun 2. The enemy feeds on blood of the living3. The enemy is as strong as three men4. The enemy looks like a human, but YOU can spot its kind5. The enemy is armed with a revolver
>>6351425>REMEMBER... The ENEMY1.) It loves the smell of ash and blood. It will do anything to make more of this smell.2.) It loves it when people are scared of it. Suffering flavors the meat. 3.) It loves a good game, but only if it's 'fair' for both parties. Violence is merely another game to it.4.) It has a guitar that it carries. It is the only object that it loves.5.) It has a cooler hat than us. For it must be better than us.
>>6351466>>6351450You two can also answer the>What is the nature of this gun?Or not. Votes are open until I am not busy and start writing in a few more hours.
>>6351550I feel a slight hunger in it, is it alive?
>>6351550I only wanted to describe the enemy, sorry
>>6351550It hates. What it hates, it does not remember.
>>6351550The gun is incomplete. It is missing something. Its hunger, its hate, are for that which it once was.
