[Asgarus]

Bats will whisper secrets in their ears.

Those bats shall be weird bats. Like, some Forgotten Beast level stuff. Seven legs, made of dust, that sort of thing. Why? Why not?

Exactly, why not?

For some it appears to be a secret, for others it's not even worth mentioning.

Spoiler: What is and what not is (click to show/hide) The Rundverstand The Rundverstand is a species with some telepathic tendencies. They share a weak form of a hive mind and seem to be empathic towards other living beings. They believe in a deity that's said to be able to create things out of nothing and even control living beings directly. Puppies Puppies were created by the deity. They are cute and cuddly and obviously not dangerous to the Rundverstand. They can change their color. They don't seem to like books falling from the sky. Trees Trees are tall but some are short. Some have green heads, some don't. They don't move. Puppies seem to have no problems with them. Winged Monkeys They have wings. They seem to like to climb around in trees. Mouth holes They look like mouths. They open and close during the day. Most of them contain unknown amounts of water. Big hole The hole is deep. The hole is dark. Warm air is coming from the hole. Bushes They seem to grow anywhere. They carry big, dark fruits. Dark grass It seems to grow anywhere. Giant fork It vibrates constantly, making living beings around it feel good and more healthy. It sticks out of a large bee hive. It shines in a green aura. It is relaxing to look at. Large bee hive It grows around the foot of the giant fork. The bees are humming around busily. Sometimes they seem to sporadically come together. Their combined humming feels either right or wrong, like they answer a question with yes or no. The bees feed honey directly into the mouths of nearby living beings, but only if they did good. Cave The cave is quite dark. Red eyes live in the cave. Red eyes They live in the darkness. They whisper nonsense.

The Rundverstand decides to dig a burrow. They also start to dig, but they don't dig for long.
The reason for that is, that the earth started sliding down all by itself suddenly, leaving behind a large downward slope.
Most of them gather around what looks like an entrance to a cave, and eventually, three decide to climb down and examine it.


They are followed by some puppies, but their trip is cut short by a seemingly impenetrable wall of darkness.
In the darkness, they see pairs of red eyes floating around.
Strange whispering is coming from their direction, most of it obvious facts that are not even worth mentioning under normal circumstances:
"This is a cave..."
"It is dark down here..."
"Why are there only two colors in this world?"
"Those puppies are good boys..."

[King Zultan]

Ask the things in the cave to show them selves.

[Parsely]

Contradict the fact voices

"Lo, but there are three colors, black, white, and red."

The red are embers, kindle the flame, bring light to the dark

[Maximum Spin]

"Lo, but there are three colors, black, white, and red."

Except there's also green.
I think the "two colours" are red and green, with black and white not being treated as colours as they often are not by terrible people whose opinions should be immediately discarded.

Are you judging the red eyes by their definition of colors?

[Parsely]

Oh right, I forgot about green.

Spoiler: Color rant (click to show/hide)

Oh, right. Well here the black is a true black (i.e. rgb 0,0,0), which I guess can technically be considered "no color" or "no light", if you approach it like a scientist. The physics answer is that white is definitely a color, it's a mixture of all spectrums of visible light and can be divided up into distinct spectrums (this can be observed when white light passes through a prism and is dispersed).

However, the thing about black as we typically observe it in reality (i.e. not digital, perfect black) is that it's almost always never pure black, which is a mistake that artists frequently make when making realistic drawings, so from the artist's perspective I can see one saying that black IS a color because it's actually just a little bit of light, not NO light, which just looks unnatural. They take rgb 0,0,0 and try to make shadows with it and it looks wrong.

So I guess we have do have two distinct, identifiable colors, and two possible colors (one definite if you're a scientist and then I guess I can see artists arguing for or against black and white together or separately) depending on which direction you approach it from philosophically?

If we assume black isn't a color and white is, I guess from the red eyes' perspective there are two colors, red and white? So maybe we should explain or show green to them.

[Asgarus]

Maybe there is yet another color already and you just haven't noticed...

[Maximum Spin]

Before we get too excited about the psychodynamics of colour, there's one more thing this world needs before it is complete.
There must be turtles to frolic in the mouth water and bring joy to Rundverstand hearts.

[joaquin55]

Offer berries to the bats

[Asgarus]

Offer berries to the bats

What bats? Are you assuming the red eyes' race?

[Maximum Spin]

Offer berries to the bats

What bats? Are you assuming the red eyes' race?

While I agree with this comment in principle, it is also true that, if they are not bats, I demand my money back.

Oh, and for the record, if the extra unnoticed colour is the dark shade of grey the dark animals are, I noticed that already.

[Puppyguard]

Take them away from the red eyes.

Use our power to make the bees defend the Rundstervand.

[Maximum Spin]

Take them away from the red eyes.

Use our power to make the bees defensive of the Rundstervand.

This, except defensive of the Rundverstand instead, just in case Asgarus is one of those GMs.

eyes appear in the mouth holes, this eyes can store creative energy for us by staring at things.
