There are three tall towers, twisted, that curve into the infinitely grey sky. The word around it is twisted. The ground is cracked, catacomb-like, each tier leading to a lower level below. Underneath the shallow surface of the earth the world is even more broken. Shattered pieces of land, of memories stay suspended in the air, afloat. The earth even deeper glows an ominous red as around it extending all directions are a network of twisted ceilings and floors, of almost branch-like pieces of grey that twist and meld with the tiers of earth, cavern-like, creating unusual shapes, object,s sometimes in forms of faces, creatures, memories of things once lost. The fog is everywhere.
The main location is where all those with the RUIN BLESSING start out at. At this moment those with the Ruin Blessing can only stay and mingle in locations within the spire.
gaia_crown[ MAIN LOCATION ]:
gaia_star Within the Spire The main hub is the Spire itself, an impressive monument that crooked, juts halfway into the mist. Its floors are twisted and uneven, the ceilings low, each room bleeding into more anarchic hallways. Everything is jagged, spines protrude everything intermingled with glowing red lights. These red lights seem to signify something, they feel warm, but it feels like whatever they are they are sleeping for the time being.
OOC: Main Ruin thread RP happens HERE in this thread. This includes mingling and chatting with others. Remember as it can get busy in a thread, to QUOTE other players when talking to them! You may also visit the sub locations for quieter areas to rp!
Outside the Spire it is extremely foggy, the paths leading to other places treacherous and narrow to navigate. It will take slow, steady steps to get from one location to another, with several paths literally slipping off into steep cliff edges. Chasms with nothing but a brilliant red below.
gaia_crown[ The Shrine ]
gaia_star The Shrine : The shrine door is an opening that lies at the base of the Spire. It leads to the shared Shrine space where the Goddesses summon all for their Tasks. This place should not be ignored.
gaia_crown[ Sub Locations ]
gaia_star [ Infinite Path ]: Close to the Spire is the Infinite Path. It is a series of twisted hallways that split into other hallways, seemingly splitting into infinity. The navigation through these paths is confusing, each one merges and mixes into another without any definable pattern. Supposedly, the path senses emotions...
OOC: You may visit this sub location if you rolled for RUIN for this character to RP in as well as a change of setting. There are items you can interact in this location, but that thread's primary focus is also RP!
gaia_crown[ Sub Tasks/ Quest locations ]
[ Fragment Descent ]: The broken angles of the Spirals draw the attention every which way. It's almost hard to focus; for a long moment it seems like finding anything whole, anything that makes sense in this chaos, would be a miracle. Something hums within it though, promising another fragment of power, a small blessing, perhaps.
[ The Forge ]: It's hot in here. That's probably the first thing you notice as you begin to descend downwards. A first, there's only rock and stone around you, but eventually, odd structures and flooring take their place. There's a few contraptions and bits of machinery that are rather foreign. Some, perhaps, is for construction. It's hard to tell, as it seems fairly broken down anyway. Something hums within it though, promising another fragment of power, a small blessing, perhaps.
OOC: You may visit quest locations (task locations) to try for minor (achievement) Blessings. You may try for ANY of these quest locations once per 24 hours! If you successfully complete one, you may choose one of the achievements in the end, record it in your Heart Log, as well as post for the free raffle.

Around the city are FRAGMENTS
They are not very obvious, but they glow with their own light, entirely harmless. Touching a fragment makes them echo a strange thing, a phrase, a few words, a name. It doesn't sound familiar at all, but the lingering effect of the fragment remains. You feel a little warmer after touching one.
Fragments float around, in places that are extremely cluttered and dark. They like to light the way in these areas, though they bear no malevolence. They glow, like everything else, a warm grey.
OOC: PICKING UP A FRAGMENT
gaia_crown[ Picking up a fragment ]
- Fragments looked like floating orbs of light in crystal shapes. They are slightly tiny, and unobtrusive, but also evasive. Picking up one requires some work. - Roll 1d6 to try to pick up a fragment. If you roll even you are successful. You can try as many times as you'd like! - Each time you pick up a fragment successfully you hear something. A phrase, a few words, a name. It doesn't sound familiar at all. It is a past memory of your character. If your character is a quest or doesn't have too much back history, you can make a quick one up for them. But it is only a FEW WORDS. The words don't have much meaning. Your character DOES NOT linger on those words. They have no reason to.
Three shattered towers. Rydek stared at them with uncertainty. He didn't much like the looks of this place at all. Perhaps if he received his blessings quickly, he could get out of here soon. That would be nice, he felt. Looking about, he saw a number of grey crystals littering the landscape. Something about these things drew him in. Perhaps these would hold one of the greatly coveted blessings.
Or maybe it would be something bad. Nothing about this place seemed particularly good. He had begun to approach one, but stopped before he could get in arm's reach of it.

He stared around the area with a look almost akin to boredom. That was, until he blinked a few more times and shook his head. As if that would remove some of the fuzziness inside.
His eyes kept traveling, searching. Besides the fog there truly was something to be said about the almost Cavern-like area. Really in its own asymmetrical way, it was beautiful.
Reaching out his fingers brushed just past something floating, before he snaked a hand out and grasped once more. With a gasp something happened, words spoken. "Remember you r-"
But what did they mean?

Klinail squinted at their surroundings as fog block nearly every block of the area they had just entered. It was so very hard to see, yet he could still make out the glow of red somewhere in the distance. Stepping forward, they could see grey crystals, floating across the area....yet, it seems strange for these objects to float in the air.
They reached forwards, hoping to examine the odd object some more. Plucking the fragment seemed like a good idea, yet at the same time horrible. They could faintly hear the sound of someone calling, familiar yet so very distant. Klinail couldn't quite figure out what they were saying, but it was definitely a name.

He plucked a fourth one from the surrounding area, realizing that he was having way too much luck catching them.
Would it run out?

Aniera found herself somewhere as grey as she was, and for some reason, she found that to be rather... Amusing? Was that she was wanted to laugh? However, she couldn't bring herself to do so, not when there were these questions weighing on her mind.
She was preoccupied with exploring the area, wondering how something so dull and grey could also be considered warm, and if it had something to do with the spots of red... As she continued to move, however, it became apparent that there were others here with her, chasing what looked like crystal fragments.
They were as grey as the landscape, and she hadn't paid much attention to them at all.

Who was the voice calling? Klinail wondered, staring at the fragment in their hand. Maybe...maybe.
They pondered for a while before their eyes dart towards another piece of crystal and made another attempt to snag one more.
AND THEY MISS.
They pouted in response.

As she decided to go fragment chasing as well, curious as to what they might hold, Aniera passed by one of the figures - their heart as red as hers - and subconsciously reached out to pat them on their butt, her free hand reaching for a fragment ahead.
She was't sure why. Just that it happened.
