the cube / science fiction, fantasy, slice of life, mystery
the earth is a cube with six faces land is broken up into regions that are 100 million square km each. each face has its own biome with its own natural climate, ecosystem, and animal population. human civilization thrives in each biome face. large borders of ocean water serve as the checkpoint for each face should visitors choose to cross. nation centers reside in the middlemost squares, where trade and commerce have shaped the respective economies. six unique faces occupy this habitable cube.
the northernmost face is known as the most affluent face, its currency holding the most purchasing power. skyscrapers are made from natural stone and a polished, reinforced wood hybrid material. the north’s economy is the most asive in the cube, and the metropolitan center brings in a number of talented minds from the other faces.
the side faces are two, three, four, and five respectively. face two’s climate brings the driest heat as its half-desert, half-mountain range landscape makes for a perplexing living situation.
face three is rich in fauna, the humidity is extremely prevalent as the rainforests harbor the most diverse of animal species on the planet. humans seek civilization in treetop treehouses.
when entering face four, you are greeted by a vast ocean which spills into the eye’s notion of the horizon. spread intermittently along the surface are small islands. in truth, these islands are the topmost heads of underwater civilizations in the form of oxygen encased domes. these underwater cities thrive from trade in sea life and its biodiversity.
face five is a snowy tundra, blankets of elevated mountains of snow and iceberg-laden bodies of water cover this face. human civilizations have made do with the climate because of the abundance of animal life which carry fur to sustain human heat. while these animal populations suffer, the fifth face is currently trying to limit the hunts for these animals in order to rejuvenate the population.
face six is the southernmost face of the cube. its inhabitants are [REDACTED] and the climate consists of [REDACTED]. however, because of its strange environment and [REDACTED], it’s been sanctioned off from visitors for quite some time. many theories involve [REDACTED] or a possible [REDACTED] yet no one knows the precise time in which the [REDACTED] occurred. the other nations' governments have agreed to leave this area alone for the time being or until further research can be conducted.
person A and person B are from two different worlds, not even knowing what life is like past the fold. it’s miraculous how small of a world it seems when people meet.
office work sullies the mind. it lays your soul and strips it of its varnish; it can be meticulous and monotonous. we both are asked to stay and work overtime into the night. the cubicle is uniform, yet spacious; it could easily hold the weight of a two-person job. we sit there as silence stirs the ambiance. my phone vibrates to a text from an unknown number. ‘find me,’ it reads. ‘find me’ ‘find me’. the texts accumulate to 12 in a row. moments later, a call from the unknown number is only left to be unanswered. again and again. his conscience is devoid of patience, jaehyun finally gives in and calls back. a receiving ringtone is heard in the far corner of the office. bemused, jaehyun calls again, this time his stature extended up as he looks toward the unlit source of the tone. the ringtone has moved to the adjacent corner of the office. jaehyun turns to you, “i think we have to find someone.”
﹙ ㅤ ♪ ︰statuesque. ㅤ ﹚
ㅤㅤ• description﹕ one of our muses is an old statue in a museum that the other buys (or just manages) to repair and polish from time to time. this statue is from some other era (maybe the renaissance period, ancient greece, ancient china, etc.) and the human is very careful to preserve it. eventually, the statue person comes alive in some magical way, and their first two thoughts are 1) protect their new owner, and 2) tell them that they need to revive what's left of their people. with this plot, i wanted it to be some kind of adventure-ish plot that takes our muses all over the world.

﹙ ㅤ ♪ ︰haunting. ㅤ ﹚
ㅤㅤ• description﹕ one of our muses is a ghost that died in a home and haunts every person who signs the new lease or tries to around in a spooky house. this is done to keep people from bulldozing the land and tampering with anything important there, considering this is sacred land for the ghost and also a resting place for other ghosts who are not as friendly. originally, the other muse would be someone homeless who just needed a roof over their head and was seeking solace from gangsters out to kill them or something, but we don't have to do that if you don't want to. either way, they are allowed to move and settle in, and they end up forming some kind of pact so that both can get what they need. (ghost gets physical protection and company + human gets roof over their head, spiritual protection, company.)

﹙ ㅤ ♪ ︰moth to her flame. ㅤ ﹚
ㅤㅤ• description﹕ lisa (or yunjin, if you want) is a fragment of the sun who happened to fall in love with someone made of wax. they knew they’d be bad for one another, but she always wanted to make it work despite their differences. it’s been eons since they’ve seen each other and since the day they decided to leave her. civilizations have risen and fallen, life and her former lover continue to prosper and grow, yet stagnant is she. her flame has gone colder, left her weak and withered, but your muse finds her and maybe they’re the spark that rekindles her fire.

this was also inspired by a deviant art gallery i found forever ago. it is linked at the bottom of this post.

﹙ ㅤ ♪ ︰alien au. ㅤ ﹚
ㅤㅤ• description﹕ i want to do something kind of like a foreign exchange program but for aliens and humans, long story short. i wanted to do a plot where we have our muses take turns learning about the other species and exploring their culture and customs. for simplicity's sake, i'm thinking the aliens should be based off some kind of supernatural creature (think vampire, werewolf, dragon, fairy, merpeople, etc.) and the world they come from reflective of that so it makes doing this easier but!! i'm open to trying something out of the box too, if you're creative enough and wanting to.

﹙ ㅤ ♪ ︰space pirates au. ㅤ ﹚
ㅤㅤ• description﹕ our muses could have been on this prison planet thing for a number of reasons (i'll leave what your muse did up to you) or could have all been wrongfully accused of committing some kind of crime. depending on which, they could either break out because they wanted to, or break out in order to gather evidence/the real criminals and clear their names. i want them to become pirates because after being in prison for so long, they've lost some morals and a lot of what they owned, so they start stealing and stuff and to get it back, but maybe they get a little addicted to the thrill. if they broke out to clear their names, maybe the pirate life starts out with that as their goal but once/before they do it, they get caught up in the pirate lifestyle. i don't know.

﹙ ㅤ ♪ ︰android/npc au. ㅤ ﹚
ㅤㅤ• description﹕ this plot in particular has two versions and each are based on two shows, but the basic gist is that the androids/npcs are all malfunctioning because of a virus, and our muses will basically have to do what they can to either stop this from happening or survive in these situations. the type of malfunctioning will depend on which version you're looking at, but both will probably be bad and lead to sad endings.
ᴀɴᴅʀᴏɪᴅ ᴠᴇʀsɪᴏɴ﹕ we can have one of our muses be an old android that doesn't get infected (initially) by the virus. the other muse can be a human roboticist that designed them or something and both of them could work on stopping the virus, or they could just go into hiding and face whatever issues come with that. in this version, the infection will spread slowly throughout the world and will have a specific event that spurs a mass permanent deactivation of androids that kicks things off. these deactivations are somewhat slow acting and very destructive to an infected droid's cpu/mind, which ultimately leads them to behave differently before deactivation. i don't know about what ending this will have, but maybe the android muse in this version gets infected but is saved, or maybe they have some part of their internal system that will stop the infection but only if they deactivate. this was all just a random idea i had, so things are pretty flexible.
ɴᴘᴄ ᴠᴇʀsɪᴏɴ﹕ in this version, everything will take place in a vr world that players no longer know they're in and can't escape. to them, they think they're actually living in this world because their memories got repressed or something and npcs are just other people. at least until things start going south. when npcs start malfunctioning, they go on rampages and start trying to take over the vr world as well as spread into the real world. one of our muses will be the lead npc figure that acts as a spokesperson for npcs and is the first one to be infected/the cause of the infection. the other muse will be a player who was best friends with them. they will also be a player who is suspicious of things (basically the character that points out how things don't feel real or right). i pictured them starting a regular player who went in with their child/sibling/relative to have fun, but soon things turned ugly and they don't know what the hell is going on, but they slowly start to uncover the truth and they figure out that the other muse is the root of all problems. they realize they'll eventually have to destroy that npc if they want to fix things, but it's up to them if they actually want to.
