This RP/Writing Contests is different than what we usually do at Matope. The kin who experience these prompts can see things beyond the swamp’s limitations. For instance, kin experiencing the “future” could appear as a human, an anthropomorphic creature or just themselves. There is NO limit on what they could witness here. These are essential alternate universe prompts. Absolute free reign. However, kin cannot remember any aspect of these prompts that is outside of what they could know in the swamp. No suddenly knowing what a coffee machine is and so on, this knowledge runs from their head like water through a sieve. They can remember their vision was “scary” or the shape of what happened in it but zero outside-setting knowledge.
To clarify, prompts can be "humanised" versions of kin, anthro versions of kin, or even quadrupedal "my little pony" style characters who interact with a more human like world through telepathy or something. You can interpret this however you like, we don't want to be restrictive!

To participate, pick one of the five prompts below and draw, write, or RP with another player a scene of Kin in that setting. If you write a solo or choose to take this propt as art inspiration, you can include it in the form for your entry; if you want to do an RP with another player, please start the RP in the RP forum and simply link it in your code. Feel free to make up characters and interpret prompts however you'd like!
Prompt 1 – Knowledge – Breaking the rock is easy, the Undefeated doe says, and offers a slim container of water and one of her salamanders for company. Kin are instructed to pour a little of the water into a crack on the rock and let the salamander do their work freezing it. However, when they do, the flash of brightness sends them spiralling into a vision
This prompt is of a “fantasy school” of any description and any era. You can interpret this however you like; the prompt is loose and meant to be flexible. A mage university in an endless desert? A high school where everyone is cute werewolves? Something more subtle where it’s just a normal school but everyone has elf ears?
Prompt 2 – Patience – The kindly doe seems unhurried in her efforts to break the rock, while others hammer at it frantically, she gathers a few kin to assist her in simply looking over the surface for unseen hairline faults. “Sometimes you just need to look.” She says, but the surface is much, much too bright and the kin find themselves transported into a vision
This prompt is of a “soft romantic” setting of any description and any era. You can interpret this however you like; the prompt is loose and meant to be flexible. A swamp themed coffee shop where two would-be lovers meet? A world where everyone is made of putty? A quiet grove of trees in the rain with shared shelter?
Prompt 3 – Force –The tenacious buck is more than prepared to handle this rock, he steps to the fore and encourages the fittest and strongest kin in the bunch to really hammer at the surface with their hooves. All physical effort. Exhausted from the effort and a little delirious with the light, they get dizzy and encounter a vision
This prompt is of a “medieval fantasy” setting of any description and any era (I know the medieval was a set time period, but it’s also kind of a /genre/, you know that DnD feel. It can slant steampunk, cyberpunk, whatever you want.). You can interpret this however you like; the prompt is loose and meant to be flexible. A knight on a grand quest? A ridiculous encounter at a tavern? An unlikely carriage?
Prompt 4 – Cunning The creator buck rolls his eyes at the others and sets about fitting kin with blindfolds to protect them from the light. “They never think” he says. “Wear these and go follow the yelling, strike the stone while protected from the brightness.” His theory is just a theory, and it turns out that the light can get into the mind anyway and leads the kin into a sharp vision.
This prompt is of a “futuristic” setting of any description. You can interpret this however you like; the prompt is loose and meant to be flexible. Another planet far from earth? A space station where everyone is blue cat things? A loose nightmare alien in a ship full of humans?
Prompt 5 - Darkness Next to the glowing heart-shaped stone, all the kin are outlined in little more than silhouette, and slowly they take on strange shadow forms like something out of a dream.
This prompt is of a darkened setting where kin might be confused for each other, since they are little more than silhouettes. You can interpret this however you like; the prompt is loose and meant to be flexible. Perhaps they take on shadow shapes different from those kin usually use. Perhaps they are animals instead of kin. Perhaps they take on warped, monstroues shapes...
