Sup, I am Triclops!
I've been on this website for many years. In the past, I mostly lurked and read. I sometimes check the forums, but never wrote any stories.
Unfortunately, I spent the last six years in fires of Hell, which rendered me quite unwell. I was starting to go crazy on those I considered friends, so I retired from this side of the internet. Even after I regained my wits, I stayed away. Recently, I have developed the urge to write again, so now I am back.
CURRENTLY TRIPLE SHAMED!

You're a hero, a hunter, an adventurer, some might say. If they knew better, others might call you a sorcerer or a warlock. Lebisyma, that awful word for those touched by magic. That word is a dangerous one. For mages like you, that appellation is a death sentence.
Tonight, you must brave the streets of Thieves Hill. This town is notorious for being a den of rogues. Here, violence reigns the night. Those like you require the sentimental fits of the mundanes to keep their power, and you haven't given up on eternal youth yet!
This is my entry for Suranna's 24 hour storygame contest. Inspired by a period of my life where I made quite poor choices, and hung around some great people that made even worse ones.

This eclipses the Will thing by far. I doubt he will ever redeem himself.

I had assumed there was something I was missing that made this era more like the 2019 vibe than it actually is, but it’s become pretty apparent that I was wrong. When I saw this thread, I was willing to give the benefit of the doubt based off of Will’s reputation, but now I don’t think that was wise. If people want to be kind on the forum that’s great, but I think this is an issue the community has already solved while I was gone. I like to think of this community as a velvet gauntlet, capable of both gentleness and brutality.

Welcome to CYS. This is a pretty rad community for people interested in writing interactive fiction and bantering. We've got a pretty big caste of characters with various different quirks. Some of us have a harsh sense of humor, but a good portion of it is all jokes.
If you're looking to have some fun The Review Club is always looking for more reviewers!

My original concept was that it was a specific type of mana derived from stimuli they had to feed on, but I was panicking about simple formatting issues for quite awhile and didn't do much with that. Good luck on your story!

This seems like the best course of action to me.

Some great ideas for how I can be more descriptive in my writing. I was thinking of adding of how I can add different scenarios for the curse and its starting state. It does increase branching quite a bit. I definitely want to focus on the sensation-seeking aspect of the disease in at least one path, but I am struggling to incorporate the personal horror without going too far into the "ick" factor.
That's unfortunate, because personal horror is my favorite flavor of fear. I'm a big World of Darkness fan, for example, and I'm interested in reading more works with it as a trope. I really liked Fluxion's Fey Lights for that reason. His sensory descriptions were all-consuming!

Good on you for feeding the homeless. I suggest kibble next. When I throw dog food at the homeless they make this weird barking sound that sounds like the phrase "That was offensive!" You'd think they'd at least say "Dog bless you!"

The homeless are dogs!
