Man, nothing is harder than getting something going. Either live or die this first adventure will be a growing experience for me, both art wise and writing/storyboarding wise.
Alright, with that, I'll tell you a little about the adventure. As you can see in the picture below, the two characters are all grey and seem to be incomplete. That's because they are! I decided long ago that I would have the readers not only direct the characters, but design them too! Too bad this idea isn't revolutionary. But I will say, ALL DESIGNS WILL BE CONSIDERED! You do NOT need to follow the base when designing the character, leave it up entirely to the imagination. If you want it to be a slug with fan hands, then so be it. Even joke designs will be considered. And if everyone seems to like someone elses design, go ahead and quote them and I'll be more likely to choose that design.
Well, that's about it. Except for some words of encouragement. This story is meant to be imperfect. Don't be shy if you have like zero art skills. You can pull up paint and make a three second doodle, heck, I'll even take a quick description. Be comfortable with your flaws! Nobody is perfect, and I'm no exception.

Now... We need someplace to start... How about a simple question? Yes, that would be a great place to start, but to start this session off we need to ask something profound. Possibly, something everyone has contemplated. But, you certainly look eager enough to ask one. Go on, ask it, this is a safe space after all.
"I've often felt like someone else was controlling me, as if I was nothing more than a character in a story... Am I, or any of this, real?"
I can't answer that myself. But I can help you find that answer with another question... Does being real make life not worth living?
"..."
I'll give you some time to think about it, but for now, lets get back to it. How about you tell me about your friends?
"Alright. All of them look wacky, as if a group of people that I could never meet designed them."
Oh? Well, tell me about the last few you met.
"Well..."
"One of them, their name is Joy. Joy is always filled with energy, in a sense. When their around I always feel on top of the world. Unfortunately they always get interupted by someone else..."
"Another one is Spite, at least that's what I call them. Mostly, their just full of angry angst. Thankfully, they've started to dull around the edges, so Spite isn't all that bad. I'd say he's tolerable... barely..."
Can you give me an idea of what they look like? Or perhaps you can draw a little picture of them for me.
"Uh, sure, I can do that... Just give me a minute..."
