The quiet game

[Hedhogthe3rd]

“It's so quiet and peaceful in the evening. Nothing to distract you from the experience of living.”

 

[Cuddlebug]

"...
And in the naked light I saw
Ten thousand people, maybe more
People talking without speaking
People hearing without listening
People writing songs that voices never share
And no one dared
Disturb the sound of silence..."

Simon & Garfunkel "The Sound of Silence"

 

[NestorGB]

*All this imagined silence is actually giving me imagined tinnitus*

*You can hear the blood pumping through your ears when it's too silent*

 

[Nonak]

<Forgets that it isn't the quiet game and joins>

<teleports you to the actual quiet game just to find out you're already here>

*Smiles at the sight of a friend*
...
*all this silence makes him hungry*
...
...
*Pulls out his backpack with packed lunch*
...
*Fiddles with the plastic packaging, and therefore generates immense amounts of noise*
...
*Takes a GIANTbite of his ghost sandwich, and munches LOUDLY*
...
...
*Looks around and realizes he made a big mistake...*
...
...
*Escapes by phasing out through the wall*

<happy that you're smiling>
<temporarily deafened by the noise after sitting in silence for so long>

<stares at a the wall you phased through losing all happiness at your departure>

<tries to go around it to look where you are>
<find's herself in a strange place with a liquid floor and no ceiling in sight, only the starry sky and wonders where it went and what is that place>

*Appears as a small star on the night sky, smilling down to you and the other silent people*

 

[Nonak]

*Appears as a small star on the night sky, smilling down to you and the other silent people*

Hey look everyone that star's got a mouth! oh wait sorry, I got too exited
<attempts to phase through a wall, obviously failing>

 

[NestorGB]

Hey look everyone that star's got a mouth! oh wait sorry, I got too exited
<attempts to phase through a wall, obviously failing>

*closses his mouth, and due to his body consisting only of two colours: black and white, it looks like the mouth dissapears.in whiteness*

 

[Nonak]

*closses his mouth, and due to his body consisting only of two colours: black and white, it looks like the mouth dissapears.in whiteness*

<starts wondering if the mouth was a hallucination>
<attempts to find a book that would explain stars with disappearing mouths or whether too much silence can make you see things>

*Swiftly opens his mouth and closses it again, to increase the confusion even further*

 

[Nonak]

*Swiftly opens his mouth and closses it again, to increase the confusion even further*

<joyful from experiencing all the confusion>

 

[NestorGB]

<joyful from experiencing all the confusion>

*joyful from creating confusion*

 

[Nonak]

*joyful from creating confusion*

[still silently] <joyful from the joy>

 

[NestorGB]

[still silently] <joyful from the joy>

*Gets dizzy from all the joyfulness*

*Faints*

*Falls!*
*Still unconscious*

 

[Nonak]

*Gets dizzy from all the joyfulness*

Searching the fallen Star
...
Picking him up carefully
...
Sharing some energy to make him glow again
...
Silently enjoying his brightness
...

 

[Nonak]

*Still falling!*

<experiences a new level of confusion at the star falling after he'd already landed>

Sharing some energy to make him glow again

Silently enjoying his brightness

*Enjoying that someone is enjoying his light and, finally, opens his mouth again*
