I tried writing down what the sun felt like in case I forgot again. Tried, at least.

Could you tell me a little about your worlds, if you don't mind sharing?

i can tell you a bit about my world, even though i never got to see most of it
i lived on an island in the middle of the pacific ocean with my grandpa and my dog
my grandpa was an explorer and an inventor
he taught me a lot of cool things, and he made a robot that recorded my dreams while i was asleep
but he died when i was still pretty young, and then it was just me and bec on our island
i had a few friends online, but for years i never got to see another person...
well, except for in my dreams on prospit
that was a little different, though, since those were chess people

hot and humid, mostly
but there were a lot of cool places to explore!
there was even a temple... it was in ruins, though
and there were some, but maybe not as many as you would expect

it was a frog temple!
there was a time capsule in there and all sorts of other weird equipment
i didnt know it at the time, but that temple was really important to the game my friends and i ended up playing, and even the games existence itself!

well, one frog in particular
he was called the genesis frog, and the people on prospit worshiped him and loved him!
the people on derse hated him, though
there were lots of genesis frogs, one for every universe that was created by playing and winning the game my friends and i were playing back home
this is because the genesis frog itself WAS the universe!
which probably sounds pretty crazy

it was... interesting!
and dangerous
it basically started out with my friends and i having to escape falling meteors
after we made and broke our special items, the game transported us to a place called the medium!
we each had our own planet in the medium, and we were supposed to explore, get stronger by fighting monsters, and defeat the denizens of our lands
we each also had a personal quest which was meant to help us grow as people in a way
while we were doing all of that, the people of prospit and derse were fighting on the battlefield in a place called skaia
the prospitians wanted to protect skaia and the dersites wanted to destroy it
prospit is destined to lose to derse in every session without the players intervention
after derse wins, the black king takes the white kings scepter and starts something called the reckoning
meteors start raining down on skaia and skaia starts to open portals to send the meteors to whatever the host planet is in an attempt to protect itself
in our case, that was earth
by doing that, skaia ensures the players play the game in the first place!
anyway, skaias defenses cant hold out forever, so its up to the players to beat the black king before the biggest of the meteors reach skaia and destroy it
if they can do that, they get to claim their new universe!

thats how it would go in a normal session, anyway
ours was an exception in a lot of ways

well, our session was barren, so we werent able to claim our reward
we had to initiate the scratch, which reset our session and our universe to a point far in the past
the scratched universe and the resulting session turned out a lot different from the one my friends and i came from
we managed to escape our session before it ceased to exist, and we were on our way to the scratched session to help the new players out
then i was brought here, so i dont really know how everything turns out!

last i knew, my friends were ok...
we kind of got separated, and it was going to be two more years before we would be able to see each other again
