[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.
