Stillbeati have a loose plot outlined already, however there is definitely still room for suggestions! basically, i know where we're going, but commands can figure out how we get there.all the main characters have names decided by me, but you can suggest names for background characters if you want. there are a lot of other humans that will make brief appearances with dialogue and stuff. doesn't have to be in 4 x 6/7 format even though the main characters fit that.enjoy?  ?  > S: Stillbeat (watch animation on itch.io here.) storyboards:
The sky is fierce and virulent, as it always is. The AMARANTHINE CODA rotates above. You don’t know exactly what its purpose is. Nobody does. It keeps you safe, they say, and that’s all you need to know. This is just the way things are, and you’re okay with that. A familiar note rings out over the harsh din of the rain. It’s the key Animosity plays to remind you that the show isn’t over yet.
Your name is BEAU CROWNE, and today is your fourteenth birthday. It’s a lot of other people’s birthday today as well. Later, you and several others will retrieve your CUSTOMARY FAVORS from the PYXIDES outside your respective dwellings. The PYXIDES are as much a mystery as the AMARANTHINE CODA, since they too seem to exude an aura which compels any nearby adult to dodge questions like no tomorrow. Thinking about all the mysteries in your life gives you a headache, though. You might as well distract yourself for a few hours until it’s time for the PYXIS CEREMONY.
What will you do? |

> Beau: Examine Town (?) Below  You fondly regard the WESTERNMOST SETTLEMENT. This is where you have spent your entire life up to this point. It is nowhere near the largest town on the planet, but you think it’s pretty great regardless. You have made SEVERAL FRIENDS and thoroughly explored the SURROUNDING TERRAIN with them. It is basically the best childhood neighborhood you could ask for, despite the disconcerting lack of tire swings or whimsical pogo rides. The rain begins to lighten up. It never really stops, but it does fluctuate in intensity. The thunder seems to have gone away as well. You suppose that's a good thing? Inclement weather never really bothered you in the first place.

You drink a little bit of the rainwater when you're sure nobody's looking. Take that, rain! |

> Pose against the storm.  You strike an unquestionably awesome pose against the storm, even though it is basically gone by now. It would be really cool if lighting struck behind you right now, but it looks like that's not going to happen today. You make a mental note to do this again once the weather gets worse.
> ==> You are suddenly assaulted by a bunch of METAPHYSICAL DEVICES! Shit!
> Quickly exposit on fetch modus in order to satiate the metaphysical lords.
 You currently manage your inventory with the UNION MODUS. In order to use this modus, a captchalogued item must share some CHARACTERISTIC with the previous item. If one tries to remove an item, the remaining cards must be rearranged and re-characterized in time so that the CHARACTERISTIC CHAIN remains intact, otherwise everything gets ejected! It is not as complicated a modus as some of the ones you've seen around, but it's still fun to mess around with. You take a spare moment to review your current INVENTORY.
At the moment, you are carrying your SECRET NOTEBOOK, your FAVORITE DECK OF TAROT CARDS, a MAGIC 9 BALL, a SMALL PILE OF BOOTLEGGED COMPACT DISCS, an INCREDIBLY COOL PAIR OF SHADES, and THE WORLD'S MOST EMBARRASSING FESTIVE HAT.
The rain has faded to the point of an almost-imperceptible drizzle. |

> Read your SECRET NOTEBOOK  The secret notebook is simply TOO SECRET to be revealed to the world! What a shame. Any hypothetical reader would have to possess some kind of SPECIAL VISION to see its contents at this point. > ==>
 Well, except for this drawing your friend made you. You can show this.
> Elaborate on TAROT CARDS  This is your ONE OF A KIND TAROT SET. You received it as a FAVOR for your twelfth birthday. You like to draw cards to help you decide on various courses of action. It's mostly just for fun, though. You don't really believe in this kind of stuff. Honestly. You promise. >See if there's any bootleggish sharpie writing on the disks  > ==>
 One of the discs has a date from earlier this year written on it. The other three are blank.> Fail to reorganize your sylladex in time.
  You fail successfully. |
