    [CYOA] You Are a Rock

    "If they ask, I'm just a regular, boring, plain old rock. A... doorstopper. Yeah, that's it," you say, quietly, to Millie and Lenora. 'Quietly,' you hope, since it's just selective telepathy, and you hope that got the point across enough. "Ahh... not really, no," Millie says. "Um, are you...

    [CYOA] You Are a Rock

    You drift off into something like a trance. Maybe it's sleep, maybe it isn't. You are vaguely aware of your surroundings all night, but it does not feel as relevant to you. Everything relaxes. Your energies have time to reorient. And by the time the human stirs for her morning routine, you feel...

    Threadmarks: Chapter 174 - Overseer Evaluation

    Thanks, all, for your reviews! I responded to you elsewhere, but they're appreciated as always. Chapter 174 – Overseer Evaluation Ho-Oh was a lot bigger in person. And imposing. Compared to Lugia, compared to any other Legend he’d met in Kilo, Ho-Oh radiated an aura of someone who… was far...

    [CYOA] You Are a Rock

    It is nice to relax without having to worry about your memories or the other things you do not know. But there is one thing you could solve... Your name! For now, at least. "How about... Cobble?" "...As in, Cobble Stone?" "Yes! That seems appropriate. It's an idea I got." Millie sighs...

    [CYOA] You Are a Rock

    "Are distortions appearing all over the world," you say, "or only in Unova?" "Oh. They're just here and in Kalos. Kind of." "Kind of." Millie takes out her phone--another, smaller box of light--and flicks her fingers through it. How fascinating... One box uses a device to control it, and...

    [CYOA] You Are a Rock

    You had spent only a few moments awake and Millie was the first person to find you. Now, she is in danger. It makes sense to do everything you can to protect her for one reason or another. You quickly spring into action, drawing from an unknown, deep well of energy within you, so far out of...

    [Discussion] You Are a Rock

    If a post ends with (!) at the end, that is basically an alert that it will go away by the start of the next one if nobody refreshes it. So, before you even introduce the new thing, it will have already been gone. Put another way, the (!) notation ONLY exists as an "end of post" checkup, and...

    [CYOA] You Are a Rock

    "You aren't a fighter, right?" you ask Millie. "Not really... I used to train as a hobby, but that fell off. Now I go hiking when I'm not at work. You know, simple hobbies." "I am not good at fighting, either," you say. "We shouldn't risk going into that place just yet." "Right. Let's try to...

    [CYOA] You Are a Rock

    "I'll go with you for now," you say. You do not know anything about this place. If Millie is going to be friendly and helpful, you are best off to take the offer. "Great. If that's the case, I'll just take a short walk back!" With a smile and gently patting you into her bag, Millie walks out...

    Oh, Negrek, that's a typo on my part. Not sure why I put Town there; City is actually correct. I'll edit that.

    1. There appears to be no visible damage, but you feel 'damaged' in the aura sense. The rock itself is not hurt yet. 2. Yes those are called Considerations

    [CYOA] You Are a Rock

    Millie listens first to the great ramblings of you, a seemingly maddened rock. She starts off with a smile, and picks the rock up to inspect it, turning it over and looking for signs of a speaker. Odd, you can get the impression of some of her intents just by proximity. Once you're done...

    Pokémon Pokemon Mystery Dungeon Fogcut Voyage

    This'll be a review of the prologue and first chapter! Most of it is thoughts I've had as I read, with a retrospective at the end. Interesting opening prologue. It doesn't really feel like a prologue, though. It seems more like something that could be labeled as a Chapter 1 initial scene since...

    [CYOA] You Are a Rock

    You are lost and without any memories of what happened or why you were there. At this point, even a potentially hostile presence might be better than nothing. That is your conclusion. So, with the energy you have, you roll forward and follow the canine as quickly as you can. Unfortunately, that...

    [Discussion] You Are a Rock

    I've gotten a decent rhythm going. I think once 24 hours pass after I make my post, I'll start drafting out the next post, and then once I'm available, I'll post it. I'll make some changes based on new posts made between then and publication, of course. But that seems to be a good system.

    Threadmarks: Chapter 173 - Rhythm, Tempo, and the Heart

    Thanks for the reviews, Makuro, Wind! Glad that you can get back into things, Wind, and it wasn't too disorienting after so long. And glad you got to the Grassmander part of the story, Makuro. Lots of awkwardness in those early chapters, but it's nice that they're still passable. Anyway, onto...

    [CYOA] You Are a Rock

    There was no telling when you would wake up again, if it would be the next day or year, or how many years had already passed. Yes! You had to take action, past your doubts and your caution. But what were you supposed to do? Take action, what did that mean when you lacked any kind of sense? You...

    And so it begins! Check the neighboring thread. I hope you suffer pun hell, Stel. I'll be here to answer any objective questions, but otherwise, I am going to do my best to be an impartial observer in this thread.

    [CYOA] You Are a Rock

    [Note: Discussion and rules/mechanics are posted here.] -- You are... here. No sight. No sound. No touch. Not even a smell or a taste. Yet, you know what these things are. You have no memory of why, or what you had done before. It was knowledge imparted to you. You have a sense of urgency...

    [Discussion] You Are a Rock

    Hello! I am unable to stop working, and have decided, now that Dodra is complete, to finally get to a CYOA idea I've had in mind for a while. This is the rules/discussion thread for this Choose Your Own Adventure story that's just game-like enough to be put in this thread as opposed to the fic...
