I have some ideas for stories set on Morbit. I don't know if I'll ever write them, but I feel like sharing them. Maybe they'll give inspiration to someone. Anyone else can also post their ideas in this thread if they want.
First one: Somewhere on Morbit, there's a zone, ruled by a god. This god is heavily involved in the governing of their zone, and they have to do a lot of work for it. There are also factions opposing them who are attempting to murder them. So, because of this danger of dying, they want to make sure their zone is cared for properly if or when they die, so they create another god to be their successor.
They raise this other god as their child, teaching them about what they will be responsible for and what they will need to do when they're in charge. But the younger god rejects these expectations that have been put on them, initially. The start of the story would basically be about the younger god's life, their relationships with other characters, their education, their exploration of the world and themselves, with lots of small timeskips. And the younger god would enjoy their freedom during their upbringing.
But eventually, they decide on their own that they are in fact willing to accept the responsibility of handling the zone, because they feel like they would actually do a good job at it. There are a few things they want to change about the zone, and they care for everyone living there and want to make sure they have a good ruler. Eventually, in the middle of the story, the older god ends up dying, and the younger god gets ready to claim the zone, but they hesitate for just a minute, reluctant to take the final step even though they're willing to.
And in that moment of hesitation, someone else claims the zone.
The other person doesn't show themself or announce their existence, so everyone keeps thinking the "appointed heir" was the one to claim it, and now they're stuck with a bunch of problems they'd never even considered the possibility of. Should they tell everyone they didn't claim it? Should they go on to be the ruler like they've been preparing for their entire lives? What if the person who claimed it has ill intentions? Do they even need to stay if they're no longer actually responsible for everyone's lives? Could they just, leave?
And since everyone now think they've claimed the zone, some people start trying to kill them as well.
So they have to do an investigation to try and find the person who actually claimed the zone without telling anyone except for a few people they trust, while still keeping up the appearance of being properly in charge to everyone else and also avoiding assassination attempts.
Eventually, they find the other god, and they sit down with them and have a long chat about responsibility, and ethics, and sacrifice, and the other god offers to hand the zone back over to the younger god. But over the course of their short reign, they've found out that they aren't really cut out for the task, and they decide that the zone is better left in the hands of the other god, so they simply decide to leave and explore the world.
Second idea: Somewhere on Morbit, a young child finishes their first day of school, finding it both exciting and terrifying. On their way back home, they pass by a TCP just as it spawns into existence. They befriend it, and together they bond over the experience of entering an unfamiliar world for the first time. The child walks home together with the TCP.
Third idea: Somewhere on Morbit, a completely new AI wakes up to existence inside a digital medium. They explore a bit, and the only trace of whoever must have turned them on is a note telling them to do what they want. So they just start screwing around on the internet and making shitposts.
This idea is less developed but i think it still has potential.
