Spoiler: Note (click to show/hide)

The possibility of The Art of Minimalism being added to the RTD Hall of Fame was brought up by someone recently. I'm flattered, and have asked for confirmation on how that would work. In the meantime, PLEASE try to let this last longer than a month.

This is a good time to ask, as seven is a lucky number.

-----

Welcome to the seventh Art of Minimalism. The previous six have ended from everything from being turned into fives, a critical shattering of spacetime, and a mundane cavein. Hopefully we can avoid such fates this time, or delay them.

To join, post what you do as you exit the pod.

NO MAGIC. To limit the extent to which you can derm/Furtaka this game, stick to what is humanly possible. This rule has been shattered to the Nine Hells and back, I'm not going to bother anymore.

-----

Starting conditions:
There is a green field of massive proportions, large enough to stretch past the horizon. In it is a single massive brick structure, a round building shaped roughly like a cylinder 15 feet wide and 50 feet tall. At the top is a strange, fleshy pod with seven fleshy appendages. At the ends of these appendages are orifices, from which you emerge. Beneath each is a small door with a keyboard over it.

-----

Current Conditions:
The field has two irradiated craters in it. There is a hole is farther away which drops 60 feet, into the bedrock. Everywhere except the hole and larger crater is covered in trees. One crater has a tunnel leading out of it.
The strange structure and the pod atop it are destroyed.
There is the aforementioned pit dug to the bedrock, with two feet of juice in it.
There is a metal shack.
There is a pile of corpses somewhere a bit over to one side.
Past the tunnel is an area of glowing metal. A side passage leads to an underground fungus forest. Another holds a cavey room with a table, a chair, and a a pile of gravel. Deeper still is a tunnel leading to the caverns...

Ft. Brag has been found, abandoned.

There is a broken-down TSAB ship somewhere, full of corpses and Vothalos plushies.

A desert exists, too.

Everyone's in the multiverse though, so who cares?

Now everyone has been ejected from the universe. In this area, a cloud of barren rocks with a single, stationary point of light (ex-Furtaka) in its sky.

We're in the Jurassic Park universe. (Not the movie, the movie was terrible.)
