You live in the forest. While you can't remember having lived anywhere else, you have a sense that it is not your home. You know of parents, houses, and people, but both here and in your memory, there is only X. You have a comfortable treehouse, and you often travel within and even beyond the forest. While the things immediately outside the woods seem to change regularly, you never have that much trouble finding your way back before dark, even from an unfamiliar setting.

You concentrate, and just as you have come to expect, George is right by your side. George is a bear. He is pure white, with a fluffy coat, thick limbs, and a curiously unthreatening face.

>Imagination -20.
>Imagination unspent: 50

George paces back and forth, sniffing. Usually, he is much calmer when you find him. He rises up on his hind legs, looking off into the distance.

On the horizon, it is night. In the forest, the sun is high over head. The forest, usually full of activity, is quiet.

Colorful fogs, with the sweet scent of honey.

>Counted. Updating.

Something is wrong. To be safe, you imagine the forest filling with a thick, protective fog. The smell of honey reaches your nose, and a few moments later your.

>Imagination -50.
>Imagination unspent: 0

The night sky soon reaches the edge of the forest, and continues to advance, the edge of the forest retreating from it. Without moving an inch, you find yourself on the border.

A girl approaches from the shadows.

"See how much of your forest is gone? I'm going to take the rest of it from you too."

Behind her, several shapeless figures move about. You don't remember them being there when she started talking. They slowly advance.

Ok, let's look at our options here.

Metaknowledge: There's only one of that red ghost at the bottom. There's three of the other ghost things. That means it's really fucking tough and they're comparatively shitty. I mean, we don't have proof, but come on.

Second thing, it looks like George is our asskicker and we have no direct effect on anything.

Am I crazy or are these good things to assume?

This wasn't posted yet? For shame.

>>14976856
Sounds fair;

Shall we wait for them to advance, so the clouds can do something before they get to us?

>>14976883
We could believe in one of our clouds to give it a move speed for the turn, but I'm scared of spending willpower, so I'll support this.

Dear OP, this quest looks great. Wish I could participate because it seems like you actually have the magically mysterious mechanics to back up what is usually just herp-a-derp text back and forth.

God speed and I hope you get more players.

My vote in final is that the fogs remain still, that george move between two in the middle and that we move back and wait to believe at George until we can see what we're up against.

>>14976883
>>14976921
>Counted, updating.

>>14976927
>Time limit.

The shadowy figures advance, their impossibly long arms outstretched. When they reach the fog, they pause. They swim in it awkwardly, as if it was a syrupy liquid, but they continue to advance.

The mysterious girl keeps her distance, silently. She scowls at George.

>The girl has succeeded at disbelieving in George. He will fade away at the start of the turn unless you spend enough willpower to negate her margin of victory.

>Vote ends at a solid consensus, in 20 minutes, or with a first vote or tie-breaking vote after that time. The specific plan with the most supporting votes wins.

>>14977033
I believe in you George!
>Believe in George? 10 WP;
>Fog Attacks ghosties?

Should we spend more WP?

>>14977109
We have a limited supply, but on the other hand George is our only offense.

How should we divide up the fog attacks? It looks like the fog farthest to the left can't reach anything.

>>14977109
Oh, and George should attack for good measure;
Perhaps the spooky looking ghost

>>14977134
He can move 4, so I think he can only reach the front two dudes.

>>14977132
>15WP, George must live!
>1st and 2nd fog on middle ghost;
>3rd and 4th fog on one in front of big ghost;

Nooooooo
why didnt you take 100 imagination?
Summoning demons from outer dimensions and having absolutely no control over thwm

The fog solidifies around the first shadow, holding it in place as George attacks. He bites the shadow and shakes. It solidifies. First it is a sheet, then shreds of a sheet, then tiny fragments.

The second shadow is swallowed up by the fog.

The two shadows are gone.

>Update continues.

The remaining shadowy figures blunder through the fog, slashing at it with their talons, but only sending wisps of it away to reform moments later.

The girl looks at George hatefully. He is flat, like a picture of a bear.

>Again, the girl has successfully disbelieved in George. He will vanish if you do not successfully spend willpower (15 remaining) to save him.

>Will the Spooky ghost to be less powerful 5 WP
>Believe in the Middle Fog's power 5 WP
>Say good-bye to George for now
>Top two Fogs vs little ghost
>Three bottom Fogs vs Spooky ghost

IF only one believe/disbelieve per turn; disbelieve in spooky ghost

Do we have a way of knowing how much willpower is required to make the save on George? Otherwise we're just guessing numbers. Whatever the case is, we do need to save him. I'll wait on an answer to that before voting on a greentext plan, but I'd suggest we have George and the two central Fogs pile on that Ghost in their midst to try and take it down. If the top Fogs can reach have them take a shot at the upper Ghost.

>Do we have a way of knowing how much willpower is required to make the save on George?
I assume we don't. We didn't last turn.

>>14977507
Ohoh
or as an alternative, we could will the Fog to congeal into a more powerful fog-entity?

Also, I think it's safer to assume saving George is too hard, and that we can get him back later somehow?

>>14977522
Fair enough. Though I feel combining Fogs is unlikely, seeing as how

>Cloud x5: move: 0 range: 4 damage: 1 power: 5

0 move.

>Counted. Updating.

George mumbles an apology for not being more solid as he slowly sinks into the ground. George is gone.

The fog envelops the shadows. The smaller one furthest from you clutches uselessly at the air before it is consumed. The larger one flails its arms and breaks free, but it is thinner than it was before.

>Choose

>>14977608
If the last greentext is the plan that was accepted, we only have... 5WP left? I'd say hold on to, since we're not certain how soon we'll be needing it or regenerating it.

>Just have all fog in range concentrate on the remaining Shadow.

>>14977625
>IF only one believe/disbelieve per turn; disbelieve in spooky ghost
>Willpower remaining: 15/30

>>14977630
In that case, revising my earlier plan.

>Put 5WP of belief into Center Fog
>Have all fog within range attach remaining Shadow.

>Updating.

Is it possible to have the clouds charge forward and attack the girl?

The ghost slips out of the fog's grasp triumphantly. However, the fog rises up to grab it again.

>Willpower remaining: 10

The girl lets out a shriek of rage as her final minion vanishes in the fog. She extends her arms, and the fog on your right begins to dissipate as if blown away by the wind.

>The leftmost fog will vanish if you do not believe. From now on, please specify willpower to use. One belief or disbelief per turn.
>Vote ends at a solid consensus, in 20 minutes, or with a first vote or tie-breaking vote after that time. The specific plan with the most supporting votes wins.

>>14977725
If we bump up its movement by BELIEVING.

>>14977777
>>14977741

We don't have any more imagination, so I guess my idea of willing into existence some new creature to chase her down won't go so well.

>Let the disbelieved-fog go.
>Spend 3WP on the center fog to buff its movement
>Send it after the girl.

>>14977808
I feel like she is going to disbelieve in our everything;

can we just walk up and slap her ourselves?

>>14977840
>You have Move: 3 and a default Power: 1 innate attack.

>>14977847
Lolz. In that case, updating previous plan. New total plan:

>Let the disbelieved-fog go.
>Spend 3WP on the center fog to buff its movement
>Send it after the girl.
>Walk our ass over there and slap her shit.

>Updating.

The fog lifts. Part of your wall of fog is gone.

You advance, willing the fog to surround you and aid you.

Willpower remaining: 7

The girl outstretches her arms at the advancing wall of fog, but to no avail. It appears that she has worn herself out. For the first time since you saw her, the anger on her face is replaced with fear.

>You may advance multiple turns.
>Vote ends at a solid consensus, in 20 minutes, or with a first vote or tie-breaking vote after that time. The specific plan with the most supporting votes wins.

>Walk to her and grab the second fog as well making us a swirling fog bank before slapping her shit

>>14977940
>Continue advancing. If the fog reaches the girl, have it hold her in place without doing damage.
>Speak to the girl
"I don't know who you are or why you'd bring such horrid creatures here. but I don't think I want to play with you anymore."

What a great name for a friend that would have been

>Updating.

The fog surrounds the girl, holding her in place. She struggles, gritting her teeth, then stands still, hanging her head.


"I don't know who you are or why you'd bring such horrid creatures here. but I don't think I want to play with you anymore."

"Fine. I don't want to play either. Keep your stupid forest then." She looks you in the eye, but her voice shakes a little bit.

>Combat over.

>>14978088
"I don't even know what is happening. It would be so very helpful of you to explain it to me."
If she refuses, have the fog flip her upside-down and shake her. Or not.

>>14978097
concur

"I don't even know what is happening. It would be so very helpful of you to explain it to me."

"I don't know either! I've been in this place for as long as I can remember. I haven't seen anyone else. I've always been able to go where I like and do what I like. When I came to your forest, I couldn't. I felt you stopping me. I... I thought I could..."

She trails off and looks at the ground.

"That's all I know."

>Vote ends in ten minutes.

>>14978139
"I don't doubt that, but.. Why would you try to hurt us? George never did anything bad; We could have been friends you know.

Take me to where you live, I'm curious."

>>14978139
"So, you were just scared?"
Set her down.
"I bet you'd be less afraid if you had a friend."
Introduce ourselves.

>Updating

"So, you were just scared? I bet you'd be less afraid if you had a friend."

She is silent, but when you introduce yourself, she mumbles her own name while shuffling back and forth, staring at her feet. It's Mallory.

"I don't doubt that, but.. Why would you try to hurt us? George never did anything bad; We could have been friends you know."

Mallory sighs. "I don't know. Maybe. I don't think so."

"Take me to where you live, I'm curious."

Mallory silently leads you out of the forest, through a hilly area made of clusters of tall, thin, metallic cylinders. On the other side of it is a rather ordinary street, with houses. She walks up to the door of one of them.

"This is the place where I slept last. I don't usually stay in one place for very long."

You find your strength returning. You can feel George out there somewhere, and you can probably summon someone or something else if you need to.

>Imagination: 70
>Willpower: 30
>Fog: Gone, but accessible

>>14978215
We should make fog-creatures our theme.
Keep one "wisp" (my vote for the name of a basic fog-creature like we had) handy, but keep most of our imagination in reserve. Ask Mallory about what else she's seen out there.

>>14978232
>Honey Wisp
;D

"Why do you not stay in one place? Are you looking for something?"

Mallory tells you as many stories about her travels as she can remember. She seems to prefer to travel from place to place, and remake her surroundings to her liking, in contrast to your history of basing yourself in the forest and mostly leaving it to its own devices. Other than that her stories are all too familiar. Some places are strange, some are mundane. All are empty of all life, save for Mallory and her friends.


"Why do you not stay in one place? Are you looking for something?"

"I think... I was bored. Some of these places are nice, but there's nothing to do in them after a while. And my friends only do... only did... what I told them to. I could send them away, bring them back, order them around, but that's all."

>>14978288
"That sounds awfully boring. Well... I have an idea. If I'm here too, that means there could be others? And one might know more about this than we do!"

>>14978298
2nd

"That sounds awfully boring. Well... I have an idea. If I'm here too, that means there could be others? And one might know more about this than we do!"

"That's a good idea... I do want to know what we're doing here. We can't do nothing forever. Can I help? I don't know what I can do now, but I want to come."

>>14978327
Well, that's nice. We have the beginning of a party!
I guess we just pick a direction and walk? or summon up something to travel in... how about a foggy hot-air balloon?

>>14978334
I was thinking of imagining a door to anywhere else but here; (A la Scott Pilgrim)

She mentioned that she could feel the our presence, maybe we should look for some where we can feel other powers at work?

>"Well, if we can make these things," Issabella focuses a little bringing back a wisp "Do you think that someone else made all of this?"

You think there will be a hot air balloon just around the corner. You're right. It's big enough for two.

Soon, you're traveling faster than you can remember. Sometimes, when you look away from the landscape for too long, you find that it has changed when you look back.

>End of part 1.
>It is very likely that there will be 4 parts.
