Tick -1: Rebeginnings

An endless glowing sea stretches, under an empty, endless black sky. It is a stormy sea under a silent sky, creative Chaos and sterile Order. Here in the boiling, crashing Chaos, out of a patch of collapsing, bursting foam, one Bubble remains, unharmed and unpopped. Already its saviors can be seen, still immaterial but crackling with power.

In a crackle of lightning the metal throne of Landria exists. In a grinding voice of authority, it speaks to the gods it knows will soon follow it in appearing here.

"Greetings my fellow divines. I would like to get right to business, namely creating a world.

I propose that we create a single massive terraced mountain to serve as our world, with natural terrain of all types existing on the terraces, including other smaller mountains, plains, seas, rivers and so on.

As you move up the mountain, terrace by terrace, the gravity slowly increases additively by one tenth, with the bottomost terrace being 0.5 gees.

Does the proposal meet with approval by this one's peers?"

[micelus]

Sadiq jumps up and down with joy, shouting all kinds of odd psalms about the greatness of living.

"Friends! It is I, Sadiq!" His non-existent face beams with friendliness.

"Ah, metal-throne friend! Your idea is most interesting but Sadiq thinks it most odd...no I suggest instead a flower. A big flower. The world is made up layers, you see, with people and all sorts of creatures living in between the petals. All mundane stuff in between except for the flower petals, yes? When the flower blooms, the sky is just sky and the little organisms go on with life. When it closes though, the petals get all tumbled together, making the sky into other petals. Instead of the sky inhabitants would see another world, on the opposite petal you see. Closeness betweens petals allows easy movement between otherwise far-off locales. The most inner layer would of course not be a petal but the pistil with the ovary inside being most life-giving; the cradle of life in fact. Do we have shouts of agreement? No? Yes? It matters not, Sadiq is pleased either way!"

[Demonic Spoon]

"I will wait for the opinions of the other gods before deciding whether to support such a strange world. I do not particularly care for the actual form the world takes as long as it as least somewhat hospitable.

My priority is reaching a consensus as soon as possible"

[Playergamer]

Ovorr is there. You are not sure if he just appeared, or if you simply hadn't noticed him, but he has decided to make himself known. The sand dune rolls, shifts, and churns, as the God of Order examines the others. After a long, long silence, he begins to "speak."

I do not care what shape the world takes. Only that it exists. I am Ovorr, god of True Order.

[Kilojoule Proton]

((The zero Tick may arrive early if an idea receives overwhelming support or something else that resolves the lack-of-world quickly comes up.))

[Ardent Debater]

The smell of sea salt permeates the air, and the squalling of seagulls can be heard as a hole briefly opens in the bubble. An enormous ship, cobbled together from many different materials, laden with priceless riches, cannons and weaponry from all eras sails through the hole. The hole closes behind the ship, and the ship goes forward for a few moments, before a loud voice shouts.

"LAND HO!!!"

An anchor falls off the side of the ship, halting it's movement. On board, several hundred incorporeal crewmen scurry about, preparing to dock. On the Ship's stern, a large, platinum Humanoid figure wearing ridiculously ornate maritime clothing and an equally ridiculous amount of Jewelry and antiquated weapons shouts orders. After a few minutes of shouting, the figure nods to himself, pleased with the progress. He, the figure is a he, evident by the Beard and Voice, steps off of the Boat, stretching out, and yawning deeply. He scratches himself before speaking.

"AHOY THERE! It's been a long, long time at sea, and I've been looking for a place to Dock... Hang on for a moment... Shiver me timbers! This is a brand, spankin' new Bubble! You know what? I think I'll put me coat up and stay a while. My name is Praven, Captain Praven to Ye All. I'm the God of Piracy an' Sailing, 'cause Piracy doesn't happen without it!"

"Ahoy there, fellow God. Hmm... I don't quite like Yer idea, it's much too complicated an' I don't see how we can have a decent amount of Ocean with it."

Sadiq jumps up and down with joy, shouting all kinds of odd psalms about the greatness of living.

"Friends! It is I, Sadiq!" His non-existent face beams with friendliness.

"A Flower? Blimey, Sadiq, I think Yer crazy!"

"Well how-de-do, me name's Praven. Much pleased to make Your acquaintance Ovorr."

[Demonic Spoon]

"Ahoy there, fellow God. Hmm... I don't quite like Yer idea, it's much too complicated an' I don't see how we can have a decent amount of Ocean with it."

"This one fails to see how a single large mountain with gravity steadily increasing the higher you go is complicated? As the mountain is one massive world, there would be plenty of space for seas on the various terraces.

However, as a compromise, what if each layer is guaranteed to have at least one sea which is connected to a sea on the neighbouring lower and upper layers, with the world-mountain itself resting in/rising from a massive ocean?"

"Hmm, That seems reasonable enough, an' simple enough now that Ye explain it... I'd support it, but first I wanna see what the others can come up with, 'fore I commit to any one idea. After all, we only get one shot at this."

[Happy Demon]

[Katzerie, The Token God]

A being of silver and gold appears, for the first time. It is Katzerie, the Token God.
"Ah, um... h-hallo?
Je... I, are here, b-but I wise nothing else. I wise I not exist fore... be, fore. U-um... mine speak are... false."
Katzerie looks around frantically, then creates a bunch of furs which wrap around her, making a big ball of fluffiness.
A muted whine is heard from within.

A muted whine is heard from within.

"Want Flower-World, Mountain-World, or other?"

[Happy Demon]

[Katzerie, The Token God]

After a pause, the ball moves, a fur unwraps itself, it's dark inside the ball, but you can see it's the face of Katzerie in there.
"U-um... bloom, flo-flower, would were fine. Uuu~"
The fur wraps around again, and another whine is heard.
The fur unwraps.
"Blomst."
The ball trembles for a moment, then again the fur wraps, a third whine. And then the fur unwraps, much more rapidly.
"Flower would be pretty!"
Then Katzerie freezes, realizing she yelled. The fur smack shut over her. A series of whines are heard.

[micelus]

Sadiq looked puzzled, as puzzled as a sentient robe could look.

He conjures a golden animate fox statue adorned with jewels and places it gently next to Katzerie's feet.

"Little fur god, no need to be flustered. Here, have a gift from me."

After a moment, Sadiq suddenly took on the appearance of someone most embarrassed.

"Apologies, I am a massive klutz." Sadiq throws away the fox and replaces it with a little cat. "Better?"

[Playergamer]

[Ovorr, God of Endings, Desolation, and True Order]

I care little for this. I shall support the mountain, then. I'm sure it shall be adequate.
