Lord of Light: Suggestion Box 1

[tlo]

The premise is simple.

I tell a story,
But you shape it.

You look, now, to the early days of Homestuck and say “Oh.” “Right, that.”
I look to it and say “Oh, yes, how things could have changed.”

Sure, the author may have had a general aim, but really? Not as fine a point as this all has accumulated to.

So, I myself will tell you the entire plot right now- Again state it:

I tell a story.


You shape it.

Nothing is as it seems, nothing is constant and nothing, nothing is going to end as you expect it to. This is not the same world that you are used to reading of, no. Not even the same galaxy or universe. Nay, this is its own reality, neatly removed from all else. As much as an entire reality can be removed from anything.


> Begin.

General guidelines for suggestions:

While introducing a character I will A) Choose the answers, more often, that were made first, and B) Choose the zaniest ones.

Otherwise, keep things short and sweet. A long suggestion may be taken, but you better keep it pretty damn clever.


Also, I’m hosting this here cause it’s better to lay roots with friends than strangers.

A young demi-god stands in their room. We watch them now because it would be, at essence, entirely wrong to start this anywhere else. It's not entirely important that we do, but sometimes unimportant things are the right ones.

What will the gender of this angelic being be?

~~~~~~~
I will tally this up to a vote, but the first two replies are worth double. Yes, I realize a clever person could render both useless. Also, the comic is here for ease-of-reading.

Taking commands.

[DistantRed]

Command: Eat some food. You are starving.

[lazyMarauder]

Command: Remove these glasses unbefitting of a demigod such as yourself and replace them with something much radder.

[tlo]

> Remove the unbefitting spectacles. Wear something less so.

You do know you need those to see, right?

~~~~~~~
I will abridge commands if I need to, sorry xD
Still accepting commands.

[duelingThoughts]

Command: Skydive out of that door behind you with a motorcycle as your radical skull lights on fire, preparing you for atmospheric re-entry into the twelfth realm of pain and suffering... otherwise known as the mortal lands, as a SWEET HELLICIOUS METEOR straight of the METEOR WOMB.

[lazyMarauder]

Command: Look around the room.

[DistantRed]

Command: Eat some food

You think your lack of glasses is causing you to have irrational thoughts.

You promptly replace them.


> Look around your room.


You like to think you keep a pretty clean ship in here, yes. This, of course, is easy when you own very few personal effects. There's your UNDENIABLE INTEREST in the CLASSICAL ARTS, of course, and as such you have a few RARE PAINTINGS. Actually, you don't know what they are. Your Aegis Cerberus sometimes brings them to you as FATHERLY GIFTS, and though this is relatively annoying, at least he cares. Not all demi-gods get an Aegis Cerberus like yours.

Other than your paintings is the TERRIBLY OLD COMPUTER you have, and if you look closely and just squint a bit, your trusty D20. Yeah, you don't have much laying around. Not even a dresser, since a FRESH TOGA is delivered every morning through your SERVITUDE POSTERN.

Anyhow, as said above your interests include both classical art, and also DICE. You collect them, see, and the amount that you have is borderline embarrassing. It's not like you're into gambling or TABLETOP ROLEPLAY or anything (Though you are,) it's just that they're just the best LITTLE GEOMETRIC SHAPES ever!

Yeah, you're basically just the dice-and-art kid.

[lazyMarauder]

Command: Admire bed.

[DistantRed]

Command: Realize that your friend has been attempting to "invoke" you on Olympian for the past couple hours, and answer him.

[duelingThoughts]

Command: Look for some candy :3

[tlo]

> Admire bed.



You... You don't have a bed. Well, you don't think you do. What is a bed? It sounds very nice, but really, you haven't the slightest idea what one is.

All you know about is your SLUMBRE CHAMBRE

[DistantRed]

Command: Beep, beep, ding; Your friend is attempting to invoke you on Olympian.

[undoneSyntax]

Command: Take a dip in the SLUMBRE CHAMBRE!

[lazyMarauder]

Command: Examine portrait of human woman.

[tlo]

> Take a dip in the slumbre chambre.



Yes. This is calming.

Almost as though you were a sleeping, eldritch horror.


~~~~~~~
sAC, but brownie points if you get what the (artistic) reference.
~~~~~~~

[lazyMarauder]

Command: Go to your computer

[tlo]

~>


Yes, quite enough of that.

> Go to your computer.



You stare at your desktop.



You have Photoshop, a few random folders, and you made your desktop background yourself. You're pretty damn proud of it. Looks like nobody's Skyping you, though. That should have been obvious, actually.
Oh, did you fail to mention? You're PRETTY DAMN GOOD at drawing, if you do say so yourself.


~~~~~~~
sAC, but not for this kid much longer.
~~~~~~~

[lazyMarauder]

Command: Look for radder glasses on eBay

[tlo]

> Look for radder glasses on Ebay.





No dice.
