Reclaiming Entropy

You are the narrator. This role play takes place in the world of Rain World, set far, far into its future. Almost everywhere is completely different, with several places nearly unrecognizable compared to what they were in the past.

Night: Since almost all Iterators have collapsed, there is no more rain, but rather, the threat of the night. It's dark, which makes it hard to see without a light source, but having a light source is dangerous too, as it makes creatures visible to most predators. There are also more dangerous predators that lurk in the darkness, which makes it even more risky to linger past sundown. Luckily, Shelters still function, but rather than protecting creatures from the deadly rain, they give creatures a safe place to stay until dawn.

The Regions that persist: Sunlit Allyways: Sunlit Alleyways is the future incarnation of Outskirts, lush and sunbaked. Upper areas are filled with Scavenger cloth and graffiti, as well as the Scavengers themselves. The region is divided by several Scavenger Tolls, with the exception of a path through a strangely familiar area; whilst navigating said path can mitigate confronting settlements, crossing it necessitates swimming through flooded areas. A majority of the predatory fauna within Sunlit Alleyways consists of a varied assortment of Lizards. Monster Kelp and Jungle Leeches inhabit the small ponds in the deeper portions of Sunlit Alleyways, Yeeks inhabit lower areas in the west and Centiwings can be found at the easternmost edge of the region. Withstanding Factory: Withstanding Factory is the future incarnation of Industrial Complex, though unlike most regions nowadays, there are only a few changes to other than appearance; those changes are the lower rooms being more flooded and the uppermost area being covered in trees. Outdoor areas have drifting leaves and small floral colonies, some of which become bioluminescent during the night. Scavengers have fixed the bridge and made several changes to the rooms leading up to Gloomy Marshland. Withstanding Factory has an abundance of predatory creatures, most of which are Lizards; Cyan Lizards, Red Lizards and even a Train Lizard are all present. Miros Vultures patrol the sky at night, replacing Vultures, who do so during the day. Gloomy Marshland: Gloomy Marshland is the future incarnation of Garbage Wastes, becoming dark and gloomy. The region has even more Scavengers than before, now in addition to their constructs and Elite Scavengers. Most interior rooms are significantly more flooded than before, causing there to be more Hazers and bringing Glow Weed to the region. Areas near all of the four gates are less dark than other rooms in Gloomy Marshland. A great variety of creatures live in the area, including the previously mentioned Scavengers, Centipedes, some Lizards and some Spiders. Vultures patrol the skies, while Leeches do so in the lakes of lower Gloomy Marshland. Rusted Basin: Rusted Basin is the future incarnation of Shoreline, becoming mostly drained, with the water that remains being filled with rust. Western portions of the region experience snow; staying in these areas for too long can lead to death from the cold. Lower, interior tunnels that were not fully filled-in now have death pits due to the lack of water. Certain areas, like the room that once led to the Subterranean gate, are more flooded than before. Jellyfish and Giant Jellyfish inhabit the rustwater on the surface, being surrounded by territory of various types of Lizards and Centipedes. Snails are a common sight as well, even in the drier areas. Luna is the eastern third of Submerged Superstructure and Looks to the Moon combined into one area. The rooms are similar in appearance to their past versions, but due to Moon's reactivation by a certain aquatic Slugcat, certain obstacles, like zappers and gravity disruptors, are now active again and make the subregion harder to get through. Jetfish and Scavengers are the main inhabitants of Luna, with most other creatures being scarce. Smokestack Treetop: Smokestack Treetop is the future incarnation of Chimney Canopy, overgrown with hundreds of trees that vary in size. Many areas are divided and enclosed by the stems and trunks of the largest trees, to the point where some rooms are nigh unrecognizable. The upper portions of the region are split and dilapidated, requiring navigation upon the branches and degraded architecture; most of these areas also have snow. The highest parts of the region are above the cloud layer, having a clear view of the area surrounding Five Pebbles' facility grounds. A surplus of Lizards of varying types inhabit the region, along with Big Spiders, Yeeks and Centiwings. The highest portion of the region rarely has anything in it besides a Batfly swarm or two. Vultures, as in other nearby regions, patrol the skies. The Stump is a dilapidated version of The Gutter, overgrown with roots from both the trees above it and The Undergrowth below it. The water is still difficult to swim through, meaning that Bubble Weed is still essential in crossing some rooms. Slime Mold has overtaken the area, growing in large colonies across The Stump. Spiders are the main inhabitants of the subregion, with Pole Plants and some types of Lizards also being prominent. Pipegrave: Pipegrave is the future incarnation of Pipeyard, ravaged by rains and floods. Western Sky Islands Sky Islands has collapsed upon and flattened the upper rooms of the region, covering them in snapped and dilapidated scaffolding. The lower parts of the region are significantly more flooded than they used to be, with some rooms completely submerged. Pipegrave harbors a vast population of Mushrooms, which are especially common in the central area of the region. Scavengers can be found across Pipegrave, having set up two Scavenger Tolls. Lizards and Centipedes make up the main daytime population, whilst Spiders make up the nighttime one. Lower, more flooded rooms contain Sea Leeches and Jetfish. Crumpled Scaffolding is the western section of Sky Islands, collapsed onto Pipegrave. The subregion is mainly made up of the fractured remnants of western Sky Islands, broken pillars and chimneys, although certain rooms are primarily made up of Pipeyard Pipeyard architecture. Yellow Lizards, Squidcadas and Centiwings all remain in the region, with not much new fauna being present aside from the nighttime Spiders. Desolate Canal, the future incarnation of Sump Tunnel, does not have many changes. The wider, more open rooms leading up to Rusted Basin have less water than they used to, to the point where it is replaced with death pits in some rooms. Glow Weed grows in the eastern half of Desolate Canal, with Lilypucks and Bubble Fruit being other primary food sources. A Red Centipede and an Aquapede, along with several Dropwigs, make up the main threats of the subregion. Nascent Woods: Nascent Woods is the future incarnation of Farm Arrays, altered by the sprawling vegetation and the collapse of Sky Islands. Due to the Worm Grass and the wreckage from Sky Islands making certain rooms difficult to traverse, Yeeks and Squidcadas are essential in navigating large portions of the region; Worm Grass is less of a threat than before due to hanging vines being above some patches. Nascent Woods is home to a diverse population of creatures, primarily Centipedes, Lizards, Yeeks and several Vultures. Spiders and Jungle Leeches are less common but still noticeable, while Squidcadas are common but mostly present in Fallen Spires exclusively. Fallen Spires is the western third of Sky Islands, collapsed onto Nascent Woods. The layout is mostly preserved, though it still has some changes due to certain islands collapsing further than others. Sky Islands' yellow color and dandelions are both still present, along Yellow Lizards and Squidcadas. Many sections require minimal platforming, typically with the aid of the aforementioned Squidcadas or Yeeks. The Undergrowth: The Undergrowth is the future incarnation of Undergrowth, and by extension Drainage System. The vegetation stretches all the way from the upper rooms to the lowermost canals and tunnels, having expanded after the ice age ended; many rooms are mangled by it, blocking off old pathways and creating new ones. Rooms closer to the lower eastern portions are significantly darker than the rest of the region, to the point where they are a part of their own subregion named Heart of the Jungle. No singular group of creatures dominates the region, with there being Lizards, Spiders, Centipedes, Dropwigs and a few Scavengers that usually only stay in a single room. Jungle Leeches, Pole Plants and Monster Kelp are also present in certain areas. Heart of the Jungle is a dark area of The Undergrowth that is even more overgrown, having significantly more roots and some large, bioluminescent fungi. The center of the subregion contains an Outer Expanse tree, giving off sounds akin to the beating of a heart. Relatively few creatures live here, with the main threats being Dropwigs and Jungle Leeches. Aquifer Tunnels: Aquifer Tunnels is the future incarnation of Subterranean. Many of the train tunnels are partially flooded, with several of the lower rooms being completely submerged, with the navigation of these areas frequently requiring the use of Bubble Weed. Vegetation from Nascent Woods Has grown into the parts of the region with sunlight, making the entrance pit climbable. Due to the passage of time, certain rooms in the lower areas have been eroded by the void. Lizards and Centipedes populate the upper sections of Aquifer Tunnels, with the flooded areas containing Jetfish, Eel Lizards, Salamanders, Aquapedes, and a Leviathan. Melting Depths, the remnants of Filtration System, have been partially consumed by the Void Sea. As such, the bottom of the region leads to a drop directly to the void sea with several Guardians standing sentinel nearby. The upper sections of Melting Depths are flooded, requiring the frequent use of Bubble Weed, which grows in the area. Infant Centipedes, Monster Kelp and Spitter Spiders are only present in the two long exit pipes. Farflung Beach is a small coast at the westernmost point of the region, having almost no creatures and objects. The ocean-like rooms in this subregion have scattered pieces of debris reminiscent of parts of Outer Expanse's Sunken Pier.

The last Colored Pearl: Nascent Woods has the only remaining Colored Pearl in this world, all the rest having faded to blank, white Pearls. Its color is Deep Pink, and it is located down and east from the Gate to Aquifer Tunnels. The reason its information has not succumbed to the elements is because it is engraved deep into the Pearl's lattice. It sits on one of a few raised platform in a very tall, enclosed room, above a pool of water in the bottom of said room.

Looks to the Moon: Looks to the Moon is, no, was an Iterator who collapsed, her facilities landed in Shoreline, and now rusting away and decaying with time as the eastern part of Rusted Basin. Her puppet is no longer functional, her head hollowed out and broken open. There is a large Karma Flower blooming from her head, holding memories of time long past. Her puppet is no longer the cool blue it was before, but now a rusty brown, the red circle on her forehead barely able to be made out anymore. She wore a white, tattered cloak long ago, and still does, but it is now dark and faded, stained by time.
