Jungle Scenario

A lone tourist stumbles through the jungle, disoriented, circling the same paths. Every step is heavier, the air thicker, the plants seeming to breathe and guide them deeper.

The jungle is alive. Animals, flora, and insects prey on each other, not just visitors. Everything is both predator and prey. Every creature has a natural enemy, keeping balance.

Mating, pregnancy, and birth unfold in hours. The jungle wants you to mate with it or its inhabitants. It separates ♂ and ♀, sending creatures suited to each to challenge them.

Creatures are strictly opposite-gender interested. ♀ target ♂, ♂ target ♀. Hermaphrodites and genderless target both. Pheromones and musk are gendered, attracting only the opposite sex. Same-sex targets cause instant disinterest. Sex is slow. Danger is fast. Mating takes hours; danger is quick. Treat sex as slow and deliberate: breath, touch, the weight of a glance. Let anticipation stretch. They do not herd, or hesitate, they take.
