And also because it might be a bit tricky to have just disease with nothing alive for it to infest except each other, though I'm sure there are ways around that.
((Right, so, what can I do then? Because it slightly seems like I can't do shit until Life does something first. Can I make it so that the essence of organisms that die get sucked into the core of this planet? That would work well towards my idea for the thing.))
Well, as of now you can do literally anything that in any way relates to death in a way that isn't just tacked onto the end there. You can't make water serpents with skull masks, but you can make water serpents that extinguish life force rather than killing naturally. You can't make a sun shaped like a tombstone, but you can make a baleful death furnace that nurtures life in a sickly, almost mocking fashion. You can't make a planet of pure dirt with a thin film of disease on it, but yes, you can make a ravening world of soulsucking earth.

So if you're talking about disease specifically, you can probably just make something to get infected yourself, or make it less "disease" in the traditional sense and more a gaggle of parasitic, short-lived, unpleasant microbes feeding off each other and then also going berserk if they catch something large, or in pretty much any other way getting more creative with what you want than trying to make an entire world of parasites with nothing to parasitize and throwing up your hands when that doesn't work exactly as written.

Poke the creature from the glass orb to see if it is hostile.

Stand around looking fancy and gallant.

"Huh. The frosting on this orb reminds me of that little puppy. Hey Firalk, come check out the patterns on this glass orb. I think they might have something to do with you. Or we could just kick it around for a bit. That could be interesting."Aquilos remarks, directing most of his statements to Firalk. Hmm, seeing the life-like patterns on the orb has given him an idea.

While waiting for the puppy to come over here, Create a wind to blow throughout the universe, nurturing and changing or evolving whatever life it touches. It shall be called the Wind of Change.

((Air+Life+Chaos=I really hope it works like that.))

Turn 7: Transition


Thanksh Mort! Firak runs over to the orby thing cause it looks interesting.
[4] VERY interesting! It seems to glow with Life energy, but you're not sure what it is or does.


((Does that mean I can make a whirlpool in an already existing body of water? Whirlpools are fun, and kinda chaotic. I'm not even gonna ask about giving living things mental disorders... Or LSD.))

Rassura tries to make it to the ball of water, so she can spin in a circle! Whirlpool time! What's in the middle?!

"What are you hiding in the center of this orb?!"
[2] You splash in the water.


"Good, be careful not to trip. By the way, I may have need of your help in the future, if you would be willing?

Enkisar, brother earth, might I have your assistance for a moment? I require a planet"


Mort extend one his front legs towards an empty space in the cosmos

Create a planet. Get help from enkisar if possible. Make it so that the core is a void which attracts and stores the essence of all organisms that die in this universe.
Break the glass orb.
Let's see what this does...

In addition to this, Enkisar grants Mort's request and helps him make a sphere of earth for his experiments.
I see no harm in your plea. I will assist you.
((My power seems to be in high demand, at least for the early game.))
((Cancel my before stated action. Only work on the new planet.))
((In the future, please edit out your old action directly.))

[5+1] The two of you manage to create a rather massive planet of solid rock, with a soulsucking void for a core. Its pull is strong enough to hurry along the transition of creatures too close to it or too weakly attached in the first place.


Poke the creature from the glass orb to see if it is hostile.

Stand around looking fancy and gallant.
((Didnt notice the creature was gone I was away from a computer for more than 24 hours))
[2] You look like a circus bear with nothing to roll on.


"Huh. The frosting on this orb reminds me of that little puppy. Hey Firalk, come check out the patterns on this glass orb. I think they might have something to do with you. Or we could just kick it around for a bit. That could be interesting."Aquilos remarks, directing most of his statements to Firalk.

While waiting for the puppy to come over here, Create a wind to blow throughout the universe, nurturing and changing or evolving whatever life it touches. It shall be called the Wind of Change.

((Air+Life+Chaos=I really hope it works like that.))
[5] You create the Wind of Change, a universe-spanning current that nurtures and develops whatever it touches.


((I'd be up for some magic-granting, so long as I get their souls or servitude or burning foodstuff in return.))

"Come on, just a little bit more..."

Continue heating the sphere, trying to melt some of the glass.
[6] You boil it away entirely. Oops.


[4-1] The water ball suddenly gets a lot colder. Ice forms over its surface, lightly trapping Rassura.


Ebullius (Baldman) has arrived!

Ken regards the rather sordid state of creation. Balls. Everywhere. Damn.

"Hurm, okay, Ken, get to work! Knock 'em dead!... Ah! Everyone! Never fear, Ken is here! Stop what you're doing, everyone, and listen up!" he addresses the gods. "There's work to be done here, and I'm getting the feeling you people aren't giving it your all! You're not pulling in the same direction, guys! FORTUNATELY, I AM HERE TO HELP WITH THAT!" he says, the volume of his voice rising as he speaks. "Gather around me!"

Enkisar moves to Ken. Why should we listen to you? You are new, and have done nothing.

Try to break out! If successful:

Rassura moves to Ken also. Having everyone gathered already would help her present her ideas!

"I, too, have a plan. Let's hear yours first."

Let's see... 'Adventurers', and 'Quests', and I think I'll call those that I grant the power to warp people's minds 'Bards'!

Aquilos smiles at the wind he created, before being distracted by the appearance of the new aspect. He is about to go and listen to this newcomer, but another idea forms in his mind and he moves towards the soulsucky planet. "Hey, I have an idea that might make this more interesting." He remarks before exhaling a breath.

Form an atmosphere of deathly gasses around the soulsucky planet. The gasses should pull the life force from anything that they touch, eroding their vitality.

"I don't believe making a planet full of death is the best of ideas just yet. Perhaps it would be best if it was saved for later. And hello Ken.
Pay attention to the newcomer.
