This is the newest in the line of "You are in..." games. It will be running simultaneously with the RTD "Roll to be in a Hut". In this game you play a phoenix.

You awaken, if you could call it that. Its not like you are exactly sleeping before you exist. You are presently located in an egg. It is quite warm by phoenix standards. By human or any other standard they would call it sitting in the sun. And they would be correct.

You look around in the egg, if you could call it looking. You are surrounded by superheated phoenix ash plasma. Which looks delicious.

This is the point at which you would normally get control, but it just looks so goddamn delicious. You consume the ash plasma like you were a hungry pirahna, if pirahnas could eat superheated ashes. You then burp the equivalent of an atomic explosion. You fall asleep for a while, and upon awakening again you can feel you have grown. Its getting kinda cramped in this egg. And you have gained a level from consuming the ashes, giving you your first choice in life, what kind of phoenix will you be?

1)Artilleroenix
A particular subset of the phoenix species that can fire their feathers as projectiles. Stories speak of squadrons of phoenizes bombing countrysides for refusing to surrender their precious sun to the phoenix hordes. But those are just stories, there have never been hordes of phoenixes, simply because old ones have a tendency of flying straight into the sun and causing a supernova, which is instantly reverted because that totally sucks for story purposes.
2)Elemental Phoenix
Phoenixes are technically already a crossbreed of birds and fire elementals and it is best to leave how that happened unspoken. But some Phoenixes have the ability to turn into a more powerful form, where they are composed purely of fire and gain a bit of size. Quite the fire hazard, but has the plus side of looking awesome and giving the ability to breathe fire, both literally and in the dragon-like fire breath way.
3)Specter
Specter phoenixes have the annoying tendency to fly through walls and stab you in the back. What is even more disconcerting is that phoenixes cant actually wield weapons and as such, it is unknown how they could actually stab someone. It is truly a mystery for the ages, but much research has already been done on the matter. It has been discovered that anyone who attempts to research this gets stabbed in the back.

You feel like this egg is getting really cramped. Got some serious pressure build-up. Also, what is your name?

You come out of you shell both literally and figuratively. You choose to name yourself Eluc'dir the Eater of Dagon and burst out of the egg with all your elemental glory. It comes out the egg was way more pressurized than you expected. It isnt particularly uncommon for phoenixes though, its the equivalent of a newly born baby crying, if the baby caused a volcano to explode.

The explosion launches you into the air. You enjoy the sights for a couple of moments. The magma rain is actually quite pretty. But then the grave reality of the situation dawns on you, its REALLY fucking cold. Everything around the volcano is covered in snow. Theres snow to the east, south and west, there isnt really a lot of north in your current position, so that doesnt count.

You do see some smoke to the southeast, possibly worth checking out, or you could just sit in the relative warmness of the magma rain until you get some bearings.

Go southeast.

[freeformschooler]

Go southeast.

[stabbymcstabstab]

Da southeast

[cerapa]

You fly southeast. It is extremely cold to be away from all the magma and the burning, but you can manage. Before long you see where the smoke is coming from.

You see a large factory. Which is odd, considering the rest of the world is in a stereotypical medieval magic age. The factory would be best described as a gigantic gray rectangle with a bunch of chimnneys coming out of the top. There are railway tracks leading further south, but you cant see what the trains are carrying. There are no doors except for the entryways for the trains. Why wouldnt people want to come out of the deliciously warm building and see the frozen monotonous landscape?

What do you do?

Find the fuel reserves.

[Trapezohedron]

Find the fuel reserves.

And take a whiff of those factory gas byproducts.

[Roboboy33]

Then set it alight and bathe in the flames

[cerapa]

You attempt to find the fuel in order to set it alight for precious, precious heat. However the factory shows no visible fuel tanks, so you attempt to fly inside.

You fly in through the train entryways into the factory. Within the factory are gigantic machines which are being operated by small human-like creatures who wear red clothes and weird hats. You suspect the machines might be making toys. You fly through the factory, but there are no visible fuel tanks or fuel sources, with the exception of some of those short people operating hand-cranks.

Thinking that it is close enough, you set one of them on fire. The fire that burns is green tinted and smells like candy. It is comfortably warm.

The others dont seem to appreciate the smell and heat and start panicking and running around randomly. You suspect that they do not like you.
