Description
"My dearest Lyria,
Please take this magnifying glass, the mirror, and the chocolate (I know how you love that brand, they have that rice paper wrapping...) as a token that I am yet alive. I have not been killed, but I must tell you that you should not consider me alive. I have no way of returning. Farewell, my child.
Please do NOT use the magnifying glass at any cost. Especially take care that you do not look into a mirror with it. I have said too much, but let me just say that this device has something to do with why I am damned away from you, my loving family. You are after all my only child left, and without your mother we are few, but still a family. I knew that you would be hurt more than anything with news of my going missing. But please know that I am alive and you are not alone. I admonish you to not attempt to find me, as I am not in any place that can be reached. I only wished to let you know that you are not yet an orphaned woman.
Love
Dad"
That is what the note said, wrapped around a tiny canister and tied with a bow. It somehow appeared in the mirror, in the downstairs servant quarters. Some of the other servants say that it is where a young woman used to have her room, but it has been decades since that family lived here. Indeed, says the washer woman who works with you day in and day out (Elanda) the family was pronounced dead. Not only the father, but the daughter too, also went missing. Thus the house going for auction. A rich plantation owner bought the place, bringing his army of shall we say, house servants? He is a distant and kind man, despite the disreputable opinion many like him come to deserve.
But that canister indeed has the mirror in it, and a magnifying glass.
What do you do with it?

She is off in a field, praying when you spied her from behind a tree.

"what is she doing?" I say as I keep spying on her.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
SHe finally gets up from praying and sits ther for a while. She is apparently very moved. She looks back at the house and shakes her head and then runs, probably toward the steam boat to get out of town. She is out of sight.

I head towards the steamboat with her (is louise in the same role as my character which is a slave girl?)

I look for her but can't find her as I head back and use the magnifying glass and the mirror on myself

(if that's all you wanted, you should have told me and I would have told you to do a different rp. this one wasn't solely for tf. Also if you wanted to do it you could have if you learned the method. But this one was more of a puzzle on purpose. Not jsut a tf rp)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
yeah it was do you plan to make a sequel of this RP or something similar to it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
not sure, what were your ideas for it?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
well it takes place in modern times which then when using the magnifying glass on yourself or on a mirror reflecting you It would show multiple parts of you, and you would be able to travel back in time by going to the family tree and teleport to the time and place

That sounds fun. I kind of want to solidify the rules a bit more, and maybe do something more sci fi? but the great thing about the mechanics of this system is that it works for any time period. It's more dream like.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Yeah I know, it could also take place in the future maybe we can do an RP like that sometime?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Do you want to make the RP so we can do it or do you want to do it here
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
okay how long of a break?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
haha just leave me and go rp with other people. I don't want to only be playing games with the same people all the time. come back in like a week at least.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(oh you mean I can't find her again?
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
I help her look for something to disguise it hoping being in the pot will not hurt me from being in it or that it's not too cramped in there.
👍: 0 ⏩: 0
so this is another story-heavy rp?i am willing to give it a try
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
it's an odd one, honestly. It's more like a point-and-click adventure than anything. a sort of puzzle story? Not a typical rp by any means.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
i used to play point and lick stuff a lot when i was a child(recently i started so again) so it only piques my interest...i mean how did you manage to stuff a tf into something like this?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(have you played any great ones you'dlike to recommend? I play through the submachine 1-8 or 9? and machinarium. loved those)
Well, I had this idea since I was a teenager that any subject, physical or mental, is really made up of other ideas. Those ideas or subjects are also made up of other ideas and it goes like that on and on. So anyway this idea is actually the foundation of this RP. Just exploring it.
But if you consider that pulling out an elemental part of a subject out and either replacing it with something else or connecting it to another idea will alter what the overall subject is, you can see how it leads to a transformation! The hard part is coming up with what those elements would be, because it's really arbitrary for me to just say, "if you zoom in on a person, these are the four largest parts of who they are". But that's what I'm doing in this rp. :/

(well sadly i haven't played any of those ones you said but i did tales of the monkey island series and recently back to the future the game...so thats that)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(I hear those are great! I should play them)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(yeah especially back to the future one very near and changeling)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(ooops i meant challenging...so shall we try that?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(anyway if there will be tf involved i am allowed to choose it?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(in a way, but again, it's a puzzle game so it might be hard to figure it out)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(i see so our setting is it pure medieval fantasy or modern world?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(oh...well the setting WAS slaves in southern united states in a fancy mansion in the swamp, but that has been changed. it can be any time period)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(i just what if there were multiple tfs as a result of the main characters gaining alternate forms to solve certain puzzles that normal human cant do?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(that's a different game. this isn't a tf centric rp. it's just an rp with a curiously hard puzzle to solve. if you want to post and develop that one I would play though)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(sorry i was just offering an idea i want to to this one as well..say how about medieval fantasy style for the setting?)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
(that could work. let's finish the others first though)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
I'm interested, although I am wondering what role would I be playing if I wanted to take part in this RP.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Sorry I totally didn't make it clear did I? You would be playing as a slave in the mansion where this magnifying glass was found. You would be the one who found it. You could be boy or girl.
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
All right, that makes sense. I would be a boy in this RP. Do you want to start off or would you prefer I do?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
Go ahead and start. And if you want to make changes to the starting you can too. (i.e. not be a black slave boy. Or you can do that)
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
All right, I'll start off.
I open the canister and find a magnifying glass, mirror, and chocolate inside. I also read the note. Confused, I look at the three items and pick up the magnifying glass. Why did the man who wrote the note said not to use it? It seemed kind of odd.
