Bog worlds?(open concept)
Posted: Sat Feb 14, 2015 11:09 am
I've been thinking since our universe is so vast,what about whole worlds where solidity of ground is rare and not common? And since worlds can also include other dimensions, other mystic realms in which sinking is common? I want to open this to everyone inclined. Describe your fantasy sinking world(s)! And yes if you can think of more then one (like me) go ahead and describe them separately. They don't have to be fancy.
I've thought of a,world jungle. Where everything is alive including the quaking muddy ground. It's a world that reclaimed itself from a destructive,polluting society. Hence the many empty rotting sky scrapers. And leftover remnants of the machinery that once polluted it. Those who attempted to rape this planet are still quite alive. Their life forces are slowly being drained away deep in the mud pits. Those who live above ground are quite happy! They are kind of like a Tarzan and Warrior princess society. They love to mate while playing in deep mud. And each clan has their own pit. In this world I'm a small explorer dude that keeps falling into quicksand! And of course one of the guys rescue me. But not too fast. The mud is very deep. And it takes quite a while for his hot tight muscles to get me out.
I've thought if another that is like a gothic paradise. Where are a powerful undead lord is king. And his land is constantly under assault by stupid well armoured knights. I'm of course a devious engineer that comes up with ingenious ways to trap and destroy those pesky knights who want to kill my beloved master! How about quicksand mines? They step on them and they are slowly sucked into a slow muddy death. Bog bombs? Basically small concentrated mud contraptions. Throw them and they explode. The would be torturers are instantly swamped in a tidal wave of thick mud. Or I alter my DNA to become a mud fiend and enjoy the twisting,and warping of their metal chain mail as I slowly suck them in. Twisted? Yeah but so am I a little!.
But my personal fave for a sinking world is a world of total concentrated sticky dark matter. Kind of like tar but with a more solid texture. Looking a lot like black latex,or thick black leather. This world is beyond any continuum and thus they who are within can stay forever. Being forgotten by time the inhabitants are not slain. But can endlessly enjoy the instant of being stuck and slowly enveloped,and intimately filled by the ocean of dark matter. Basically an endless sink fantasy. The residents live in small cocoons within. And are quite euphoric. They are enjoying also the loud bubbling pop of the stuff. And the feeling of being enmeshed in inescapable thick muck. This would be a perfect state to me.
Now it's everybody else's turn! Be as specific as you want!
