Alright, works for me
How do we want to get started? I'm at work rn so if someone else wants to start that's fine aha

@LovelyRose

so I’m just gonna be describing Zel’s morning at the circus for a bit because the rest of the group won’t be with him yet

Algodon and Lumi I assume are probably gonna have just snuck out of Elorim and are soon gonna be attacked by the search party, which includes Ty

is that all right??

@The-Dyonisia group

so I thought up some potential location ideas! we don’t have to use any or all of them, but I thought since they’re on the run and with a traveling circus that changes in location would happen pretty frequently :)

also if you see mentions of a sea in the list I figured that there could probably be an ocean to the north or south of Elorim/the other countries, like they eventually lead to a coast, but let me know if that doesn’t work!!

One:
A valley overflowing with a special type of flower. They’re about fist-sized and perfectly round, and they glow a range of pretty colors. People often harvest them to use as natural lights or torches, as they last for quite a while even when uprooted.

Two:
A desert-like terrain made out of soft, dark gray sand. It is mostly dry and empty, though it does have several small oases. It is full of giant animal skeletons—rib cages, skulls, and even huge teeth—that make traveling on foot almost necessary.

Three:
An orchard of trees with white trunks and leaves of various shades of purple. They grow very juicy, sweet fruit that are a bit similar to plums. The pollen that the trees release has been known to have rather strong effects in some people, including severe lightheadedness and hallucinations.

Four:
A relatively small canyon made of reddish rock streaked with gold. Due to regular rain, the features of the canyon change quite frequently. This can make traveling through it confusing. After storms, rainwater pooled in natural basins will shimmer from all the gold dust that was kicked up.

Five:
An extremely foggy, constantly dark forest where dangerous animals have been known to lurk. It is also home to many helpful medicinal herbs and fungi, though not many are brave enough to retrieve them.

Six:
A smaller desert that eventually leads to a beach. The sand in it is mirror-like, meaning that sunglasses and skin protection is a must at all times to avoid severe damage. It is freezing cold and windy in this desert.

Seven:
Basically a massive coral reef but on land. This special reef is home to many types of flying creatures rather than fish. Most people avoid it because it is easier to go around than deal with its tough, oddly textured surfaces.

Eight:
A big graveyard filled with old bells and rusty wind chimes. There was a superstition long ago that wind was actually spirits trying to speak to their ancestors, and so people tried to communicate using musical tools. Eventually, the graveyard was left in a state of disrepair because the nearby town was evacuated.

Nine:
A mountain by a beach (the same one that was mentioned in Six) that used to be an inactive volcano. The terrain is hard to traverse, but it is breathtakingly beautiful.

we can always come up with more as they go along, and this definitely isn’t in any sort of order! :)

I was thinking up names for these places, and I got a few suggestions (if y'all are okay with them)

  1. Aniblis
  2. Invivora desert
  3. Esperia
  4. Aurora Canyon
  5. Forest of Echidna
  6. Lareia Desert
  7. Forest of Pontus
  8. The Ring-yard
  9. Lareia Ridge

@Fraust

Alright, whoever has time and wants to start is welcome to
I'll be off work in like two hours but I should be able to reply a bit while I'm here

@LovelyRose

oh no I was busy haha but yeah I can send something! Zel’s not involved with the rest of them for a bit, though, so my messages aren’t gonna necessarily be directly connected with the rest of yours

@LovelyRose

Morning came with the sound of screaming. Zelra bolted upright in his cot with a strangled yelp. He’d been having a rather nice dream about a never ending feast, and he was disappointed to see that it hadn’t been real. Instead, he was greeted by two familiar, smug faces.

”Morning, Zel!” Myrah chirped in a singsong voice. She hopped forward on her tippy toes and mussed his hair. Her claws scratched his scalp.

“Why were you scream- you know, don’t answer that,” he grumbled, rubbing the sleep from his eyes. “Time to go?”

“Yeah. Actually, you’re running late. A missed most of breakfast,” Clarys answered. She looked just as tired as him, if not more. “Get your ass out of bed, or there’ll be no coffee left.”

“A fate worse than death. Give me five minutes?”

“You get two.”

They left. He went about changing as fast as he could. Before leaving, he glanced over at himself in his mirror. His eyes were still ringed with copious amounts of smudged liner, and his hair was a tangled mess. It didn’t really matter. Nobody looked good after a show. Nobody except Myrah. As fast as possible, he zipped out of his tent, joining her and Clarys on their quest to the dining hall.
