Hello I'm Morphine, you might see me some places under the name Somni or Somniferum. As someone who's special interest is animals/zoology I'm an avid player of petsites & animal related video games. So naturally I found Morbit through the Petz community.
There's a lot of lore to learn about and I'm taking things slow to avoid information overload, so it may be a while before my TCPs are fully developed enough for me to jump into the roleplay side of things. But I am really excited to get to that point and to play FZ!

[REMNANT_TREASURES]:
hi everybody! with the launch of friendzoo, i was thinking we could get a little general chat going!
i've been playing with my guy, castor, for a few months now- i was a beta tester for the game and my lil guy was a rescue from one of the other devs, [CRITTER_CATCHER]. he figured i could take better care of him, and the two of us get along really well!
today, he's sitting with me while we watch videos together. we're keeping an eye out for any rescues in our "area" (hehehe how does that work digitally...) and i think our big focus will be helping with those!
but, yeah! how's everybody's rasters doing?

[DONATION EVENT] Kaleidoclub Funding |

okay! shit is kind of fucked over here financially post-como's-laptop-nightmare! we've begun work on Kaleidoclub, an 18+, kink + plurality focused project with both mature/explicit stories contained within it, meant to be short, affordable, and easy to pick up off of our itch.io as small twines with light sketch illustration. so far plans are just to work with Como on it, but other people may be brought in for non-romantic/sexual plotlines down the road. to help fund this and also help us do things like get cat vet appointments handled and tame our horrible yard so that the pseudo-home owner's association doesn't kill us, we're opening a donation pool where people can send in money and either directly request a prompt or add one to a raffle pile.
for every 25 USD you donate, you get to add another prompt to the pool beyond your initial three. for every 50 USD donated overall, a raffle prompt gets pulled. donating 100 USD means you get to directly pick a prompt from the pile, or suggest your own. this counts past donations, so if you donated 50, you just have to donate 50 more to get this. raffle pulls will not begin until there are at least 10 suggestions up for picking.
anyone can suggest up to three prompts for the raffle pool for free, both SFW + NSFW allowed. we have some limitations on what's allowed and what isn't, and some thematic ideas for you to pull from. you are encouraged to discuss ideas on our Discord or even develop them as a group, just as long as everyone respects the amount of stuff they can add to the raffle.
if your idea gets pulled, either by your own choice or by pure raffle luck, you will get exclusive peeks at the story as it's being developed! feedback will be limited due to the nature of these projects being very personal, but you will get to see the story before anyone else in the community (and also, get a final copy of the twine when released). you can also add a new idea to the pool!
this system may be modified over time based on what works and what doesn't!
to suggest:
say your prompts in a post, single sentences or phrases only! each new line is a new suggestion.
to donate:
say you're donating either in private via Discord or in the thread, and we'll contact you on Discord to arrange payment.
example prompts:
"System member gets stuck in front for an art workshop" (thank you rime) "BDSM session focused on praise and aftercare" "Takeout night gone sexual" "Caine and Chokechain work on their feelings" "Snug buys a collar" "Ivory and Shriek go on a movie date"
by donating/suggesting you are accepting that this shit may take a while to get to and that these are long term goals being worked on by disabled people. prompts may also be modified as needed to work for the story, and while you will be shown the story you prompted as a little preview/thank you, these will be under our artistic vision overall! we also reserve the right to reject any prompt that wouldn't fit our ideas or is too specific- we may comment on that in the thread itself or on discord! thank you for understanding. The General Premise The Kaleidoclub is a group of friends that meets up in various spaces within the college campus-like Artist Colony where they reside- usually to talk over things such as plurality, kink, and queer topics. All of its members have been through hardships and are dealing with varying levels of disability, but a good number of them also have more gay shit on their mind- and exploring it with each other. Not everyone in the club is romantically or sexually involved with each other, and the commitment level of the relationships that do exist varies...but there's always something going on, and plenty of stories to tell.
you do not need to know every single character (there are a lot) to suggest for this project! the main character(s) (systems) and topics we're interested in will be listed out below, and any clarification can be asked over Discord- you're encouraged to ask "hey, would a character work for this setup?" or "what characters would be good for [x] scenario?" and we'll respond as best as we can.
Topics We Are Game For (does not have to be NSFW but can interact with such) -Plurality -Trauma/Abuse (can impact kinks and sexuality but will not be fetishized itself) -Disability -Chronic Illness -Family Issues -Art and Creativity (lots of different mediums) -Self Worth/Image -Queer Shit/Identity/Sexuality -Romance -Past Relationships -Magic/Worldbuilding Explorations
Kinks We Are Game For -Vanilla Stuff -Cuddling/Physical Affection -BDSM (to varying degrees of severity) -Soft/Hard Vore -(Safe + Impermanent) Gore/Bloodplay -Weight Gain/Play -Foodplay -Inflation -Toy/Dollplay/Plush stuff -Objectum -Magical Nonsense -Fiend Nonsense -Transformation -Emetophilia (fantasy, mainly just slime/weird substances) -Medical Play -Praise -Gear/Outfits/Toys -Robot Stuff -Alien Stuff -Monster Stuff -Size Difference (No macro, somewhat micro is okay though- think a small plush size) -Dressup -Headspace/Dreamscape/System Shenanigans (ask first on Discord before suggesting these in a kink context but we are Very interested)
Absolutely Not -Nonconsent in a pornographic context (even if roleplayed) -Public Play (we have some plans for exploring this in kink specific settings, but for now we're not opening it for requests) -Ageplay -Scat/Watersports (no moral standing on this we just don't have an interest) -Extreme Humiliation/Insults -Love Triangles/Romance Drama (we have romantic drama planned out already, if you want to include these then just say "i want drama" and dont suggest specifics -Feral characters in a pornographic context (there are a couple in systems and they are just little guys who may show up) -Incest
if you're interested in something not on these lists- ask! suggestions can also be submitted privately via Discord! Characters Available There are 13 main characters available in the Kaleidoclub, though 12 of those characters are plural and technically encompass a lot more than that! The 12 systems live in groups of 3, and are thus grouped here based on living situation. Asking for more information on the characters via our Discord is highly encouraged, as is developing an idea to suggest in a group.
Notable members listed aren't the only options for characters- these are just ones that front frequently or have particular internal relevance, thus making them more prominent in the plot overall.
APARTMENT 292
STYLIZED FIGURES- A dragon concept with a paint program motif- the colors on their color palette change with the fronter. They mainly do a mix of digital and traditional art in the artist's colony, and dabble with sewing and handicrafts on rare occasions. The aesthetics they go for varies wildly, and they can be best described as a jack of all trades, but masters of none. They struggle with motivation and adequately splitting both artistic and fronting duties up, and their work varies hugely based on who's fronting. Interests this system gravitates towards are artistic-related kinks such as drawing, writing, and photography, BDSM, objectum, transformation, different materials such as plush and latex, roleplaying, and size difference. Notable Members: Inkwash, Wrinkle, Slasher, Serene, Snug, Backstitch
GLOWSTICK SYSTEM- The Glowstick system is all about partying and music, and work in the artist colony as an album artist and DJ. A lion concept with a bioluminescence motif, it's hard not to spot Glow from afar. Their love of rave culture and online spaces is renowned in the spaces they're in, and they're never seen without a messy, neon outfit. Their system gets along fine, but agreeing on self destructive actions is still self destruction...with many of the other members of the Kaleidoclub worried about their wellbeing. Kink-wise, they're interested in transformation, BDSM, roleplay, and kink events/spaces. Notable Members: Kicks, Trip, Block, Clatter, Sine, Wyatt, Arcade, Meowy
KATT- A tabby cat concept with a neon motif. Having dealt with a bad family and relationship history, this concept turned to media as a major comfort, and developed an introject-heavy system as a result. They identify as casual gamers, but do have a deep love of horror media as well. In the artist colony, they make comics, and publish them online. Due to having the largest (and most chaotic) system in the Kaleidoclub, the kinks Katt can be considered into (and the kinds of relationships they're seeking out) are hugely across the map.
(If it's listed in our potential kinks we'd be down to do, chances are someone here is into it.) Notable Members: Scone, Crumpet, Puffball, Nameless, Pierrot, Palm, Bloodstain, Allie
APARTMENT 304
MOMENTUM SYSTEM- A horror mutated scottish fold concept with an eye motif- or is it eyelashes? Momentum works in the art colony as a fashion designer, and their system works together to make unique, bespoke garments with a cutesy feel out of thrifted finds. Their system can best be described as very "cute", with all of its members having some degree of focus on adorable aesthetics and visual appeal. They have cooperation issues due to some system members disagreeing on how their day to day life should be handled, but they care about each other deeply all the same. Those in the system who want to engage with kink tend to lean towards dressup, hypnosis, objectum/toy stuff, dollplay, sex toys/gear, transformation, and size difference. Notable Members: Anton, Oswald, Andy, Landon, Gently, Softpaws, Scruffy, Silas
GREENHOUSE SYSTEM- A mouse concept with a breeze motif, of small stature and deceptively high motif complexity. Known as Greenhouse or Green as a collective, this system works in the art colony as a gardener and farmhand. They're one of the most cooperative systems in the Kaleidoclub, but struggle with feeling interesting in the eyes of others. They enjoy reading and studying different kinds of plants and locales, something reflected by their headspace divided into different biodomes. Compared to the other club members, they have fairly mundane interests when it comes to kinks and relationships- but even so, some of the Greenhouse wish to find someone to hold. Notable Members: Frost, Lore, Pecan, Seaview, Prickle, Stras
TOOTHACHE SYSTEM- A horse concept with a shifting food motif, with the specific dish focused on varying by system member. A system of 8 members that works as a chef in the art colony's mess hall and restaurant programs- wherever they're needed most for the day. They spend time researching different cuisines and coming up with their own spins on dishes, always striving to come up with something new. They are a fairly cooperative system, though their organization system can be more likened to a workplace than a family or group of friends, with most of the system treating each other like professional peers even when living in the same headspace house. Due to being a motif-switcher, they undergo physical transformation every time they switch, something that can range from visceral and violent to completely under control. Those in the system who want to lean into kink play and relationships tend to have an interest in, naturally, hard vore and foodplay. Notable Members: Tastee, Neo, Coldcut, Hock, Caesar, Swirls
APARTMENT 250
RUNIC SYSTEM- A cat concept with a slipper shell motif, making their place of the artist colony with magical crafts. The actual scrap sensitivity and affinity of each member varies, but they all find their place with their work. Disagreements often crop up about what risks to take and what matters to let lie, and the system has a history of messing with things they shouldn't. They generally skew towards having magic-related kinks, and sometimes have the powers to even back those interests up in the external world, not just headspace/dreamscapes. Notable Members: Birthday, Sidewinder, Destination, Grimoire, Uni, Arrow, Athame
THE DECOMPOSYSTEM- A rabbit concept with a high complexity acid motif, to the point of needing specialized, protective equipment for both attire and living situation. Formerly a lab experiment, they were raised alongside Tuner as childhood friends. They are prone to getting sick and struggling to deal with said chronic, motif-based illness, and the system's efforts are mainly focused on maintaining their health. Their focus in the artist's colony involves writing, and they often work alongside Tuner. Not all of the system is good at managing their conditions, and conflicts usually revolve around that and the social isolation that results. Kinks they're into generally involve medical play, and are usually kept to dreamscapes/headspace in order to prevent acid damage to any partners. Notable Members: (literally all of them, but...) Relief, IV, ICU, Aloe, Chewtoy, Gasp
TUNER SYSTEM- A griffin concept with a wire motif, this system was raised as a lab experiment alongside the Decomposystem. Robotic parts are embedded into their body, often causing them pain and illness. They are capable of hooking up into almost any electronics and entering digital space, able to jump around wifi and phone networks at will. Any system member that leaves the system to travel digital space will (generally) be snapped back after a period of time, though how much time varies from member to member, and can be very extensive. They work on writing with the Decomposystem and do website work for people in the artist's colony. Bickering is very common with this system, especially when it comes to how to handle social aspects of their life and their bipolar disorder. Their kinks vary between wanting to involve their robotic nature and avoiding it entirely based on system member, and can range from wanting hardcore BDSM to praise-focused cuddling and affection. Notable Members: Display, Roger, Locket, Cure, Jekyll, Frankie
APARTMENT 105 COMORBIDITY- The Comorbid System, sometimes referred to as Comorbidity, is a wolf concept with (inert) horror slime motif. They participate in the artist's colony with their horror script-writing skill, but have yet to score a proper pitch deal. While intimidating just by merit of their appearance, they carry a dark secret- being afflicted with blood fever, a condition that requires them to drink fresh blood regularly or risk turning into a terror-like state. They generally choose to feed off of those in high standing due to the low risk of them having insufficient resources to receive medical care, but many of their system disagreements center around the morality of feeding on anyone in general. Their kinks tend to skew towards the more hardcore end of things, such as bloodplay, gore, hard vore, and BDSM. Notable Members: Tonic, Marrow, Grayson, Caine, Delaney, Johnny, Payday, Gale, Forked BEAU- Beau is a plural poodle concept with a love motif, known for their tendency to get into relationships and casual hookups more often than anyone really should. The Kaleidoclub tries, at the very least, to make their efforts at intimacy more pleasant and safe, and steer them away from any more dangerous partners. They work in the artist's colony as webcomic authors. Their main issues revolve around their relationship tendencies, with very few of the system agreeing on what they want out of a committed partner. Their kinks are wide and varied, and depend heavily on member- but whatever they get into, it's generally intense. Notable Members: Princess, Chokechain, Desire, Rhinestone, Wake TOYBOX SYSTEM- A teddy bear concept with a motif that switches based on fronter, often drastically, but generally related to different substances and materials. Toybox works as a writer, typically of horror, and publishes their novels in small, independent circles. They are workaholics who find solace in their massive toy collection, as well as being toys themselves. They do not get along well all the time, and often have arguments about how to manage fronting time. Kinks they lean towards usually involve toys, objectum, and dollplay, though they have a deep interest in gear and other BDSM-esque topics as well. Notable Members: Shriek, Ditzy, Fenrik, Boyd, Tallow, Marcy, Balljoint, Cordelia, Squish, Rocky
and from Como's end of things... IVORY - A fiendish witch from the dawn of magic, the cat/doll aesthetic is merely a front for his true nature. Skilled in a variety of enchantment based craft and specializing in the creation of familiars, he found himself at the art colony as part of a personal retreat. He's very flexible and open to new experiences of any kind, though generally leans into more submissive roles when it comes to intimacy.
Current Plans -The Pilot- Frost (Greenhouse System) faces his worries about getting into BDSM for the first time, aided by Ivory. -Delaney and Caine's (both Comorbidity System) gay bloodplay headspace adventure -Chokechain (Beau System) is stuck in front for a day, forced to go to an artist's workshop with a member of the Stylized Figures. (this one is SFW, probably)- funded by Rime -Used to be in the submissive role and had that trust abused, and is now afraid to do the same with their new partner who lets them be dominant. - Pierrot and ICU (maybe ICU helping Pierrot after a meltdown? ) -All people involved in the scene are dominant and now have to figure out who takes the more submissive role, shenanigans ensue. - Puffball gets ripped off in a video game trade (maybe a wattplant custom) and goes to a partner for comfort. (Or Pudds since she'd "get it", not sure if they're partners) - Charcuterie board contest (Toothache headspace) - Someone from the Runic system talking to someone from the greenhouse system about their past and trying to figure out if they're *good* estranged or *bad* estranged - Oswald and Seamstry garden date. Maybe they could have a little picnic/tea party in the flowers - Maybe someone in the Toothache system could have catered or like... gave ideas. Idk headspace limits eeee - Neo and Tastee cofronting and making an obnoxious icecream sundae - For whatever reason, Comorbid has been panicking all day, and approaches someone with butchering skill about dealing with the results of an experiment with vampirism on animals. - Scone and Penny(?) Talk about plushies and toys they have. Just think some wholesome bonding
Options up for Raffle -Shriek is fronting while having a bad health day due to overproduction, and asks one of Comorbid's folks to eat them with a spoon during depression movie-watching. - Trip and Scythe Makeover (maybe Arcade? Maybe others?) - Berri and Crumpet explore with eachother (nsfw wise, idk) - Neo and Tastee cofronting and making an obnoxious icecream sundae - Chokechain getting mad (in headspace) at one of the other system members for something that got them into trouble and actually got them hurt - Someone from the Runic system helps someone in the Decomposystem write something with a magic being used medically - Locket fucks with a digital artists files - Soft paws modeling things for Landon to help it with ideas - Walnut and Pudds dream cuddling (maybe with Clatter?) - Rocky goes swimming - foodplay: outright nsfw interaction or just suggestive playful fun, cozy snack time for someone, maybe someone bought a special -food, or someone did baking/cooking/etc and shares it with a loved one - foodplay: spin on the above suggestion by having the food in question be specifically the food motif of someone involved in the scene - bloodplay: i have no specific idea for this, but i think it would be nice to have a scene involving this kink where its like.. a safe/consenting dynamic - Business meeting between Frankie and Oswald (Maybe Tuner system is asking for help with outfit designs for some writing and is struggling?) - Gale going to a greenhouse member for trouble with weeds in headspace (unsure if it's their fault but Dandelion monster blamed) - Someone digitally pet Cure

[PCA] REMEDY HOUR |

[id: an abstract cover art featuring maes artag, a cat furry with black eyes, along with smoke and geometric patterns.] REMEDY HOURfor (relatively spoiler free) content warnings for this project, click here.
[id: maes artag is standing in an office with charon judgment, a dog furry, and papaya, a bug-like robot. maes is wearing a green sweater and brown pants, and is holding a white cane. papaya has a blue sweater and prominent pink eyes, and charon is wearing a pink coat with a black sweater underneath. charon's hair is wild and curly, and gelled into a somewhat pompadour-esque shape. his eyes are distinctly unnatural, with "no entry" sign pupils and a similarly shaped halo above his head.]
It’s an atypical day at the Menagerie, Taverne’s largest medical facility, when Maes Artag isn’t on duty. Neither working in the surgical wards or in the secret underground facilities, the karacel finds themself tasked with a new goal- one that fills them with apprehension and…dread. Maes sits in the newly-made waiting room with the handle of their white cane in a death grip, the device collapsed to avoid taking up too much room. They’re preoccupied on what feels like a dozen things at once, ranging from superficial worries such as whether their hair looks alright-
Of course it does, Charon helped me brush out all the tangles today, and I picked out the pulled back style-
-to much, much grander scale distress.
Am I doing the right thing? My siblings need care, but… Is… Is letting someone know about this program so intimately the right move? We have to go public eventually, but- This is a good deal different than a press release. This is…
Maes realizes they’re digging their claws into the handle of their cane. Fuck. Relax. Therapy is normal. Lots of people go to therapy. There are tons of therapists here. This one’s just specialized in…particularly complex trauma cases. If I can pull this off, it’ll help people. This is worth it. It has to be worth it.
With a shallow attempt at steadying their breath, they turn their attention to the room.
Sparsely furnished from my quick look around, but it makes sense. We’re just borrowing the room for a few months. Chances are there’s not going to be much…personalized touches. If this goes well, they’ll get a proper office. For now, it’s just the three of us… Myself, Charon, and- MAES: ...when is this Papaya person going to be ready?
Their voice comes out more curt than they'd like, the surgeon almost immediately shrinking back and following up before their partner, sitting next to them, can answer. MAES: S...sorry. MAES: On edge.
Maes can hear the sound of Charon’s earring jangles as he shakes his head. It’s a familiar sound, one that immediately makes Maes untense, even with how small it is. Their canine partner was easily recognizable both from his voice and the various levels of noise he was accompanied with, his motions easily choreographed from his coat rustling, pocket contents shuffling, and metal limbs clanking.
He’d been working with Maes for months at this point, and Maes is pretty sure they’d give the world for him. Once simply something between an assistant and daily companion, now significantly more than that.
Not only is he Maes’ partner, but one of their two close friends. CHARON: I know how much this matters to you. MAES: I know, and- it is important. MAES: Crucial, even. MAES: I'm going to be holding them to standards I don't for anyone else. CHARON: I don't blame you for wanting to test this yourself. CHARON: You've never had a therapist before? MAES: No. Never. MAES: ...admittedly I've seen myself as...being able to handle things just fine. CHARON: Mm... try not to shut them down immediately. CHARON: These things tend to take some time and work. MAES: I just don't get how a stranger is supposed to help me understand the situation better. MAES: I understand it just fine-
They catch themself, trying to reel it back in. MAES: ...but I know that attitude isn't good for me or my siblings to have. MAES: I'm doing this for them more than myself. CHARON: If this works out they'll be more than appreciative. Just hope that you get something out of this- ????: Pardon!
The two are interrupted by a nervous sounding voice. ????: Was handling a bit of a call, important to the business at hand of course.
My documents said they’d be a tall construct. Lots of eyes. Dresses warmly and with cozy attire. …good god, they smell like coffee. Must be a big drinker…
Maes stands up a bit too fast, awkwardly holding their hand out. MAES: Dr. Maes Artag. MAES: You're Papaya, I presume?
The construct reaches out and shakes with a slight firmness. PAPAYA: Mmhmm. PAPAYA: Sorry about the wait, needed to make sure the preparations are all set for this. PAPAYA: Interfacing in a digital space is fairly complicated technology, especially with those of the non-synthetic nature. PAPAYA: Pleasure to meet you! MAES: Likewise.
They return it just as firmly, pulling away after a moment to gesture to Charon. MAES: This is my assistant, Judgment-
While we're still keeping our relationship on the down low... If their tech really is as advanced as I'm paying for, they're going to find out. MAES: -and, ah, partner.
Charon gets up as well, a pause before he speaks.
Probably giving them the formal knight bow… CHARON: I'll be here while the Boss handles the examination. CHARON: Hope it's not an issue. PAPAYA: Shouldn't be, it’s good to have someone to comfort you after in case a session is a bit intense. PAPAYA: Did either of you read the documentation on how this process works? MAES: Yes, though I have...questions. MAES: This sort of technology is very new to me, and I want to make sure that I understand exactly what I'm getting into.
Papaya nods. PAPAYA: Go ahead, ask away. MAES: Exactly how...reflective, is the digital environment? MAES: Your paperwork mentions that it shifts and changes depending on certain factors, but I had a hard time gauging how much is controlled by you and how much is by the other people within it. PAPAYA: It's designed to be evocative, but it's never one for one and it can't recreate living things. PAPAYA: I can't go much further than what you're willing to open up to. PAPAYA: If you're adamantly pushing against it, the world will stay close to the default office setting. MAES: ...mmmm.
I don’t know how I feel about this. Considering everything, that just sounds like it’d make things worse. But…
The karacel sighs, resigning themself to following along. MAES: Easy to understand, I suppose. MAES: Charon, do you have any questions before we go in? CHARON: What do you do if a session is too much? CHARON: Any killswitch? PAPAYA: De-escalation, slowly shift the environment away from the trigger before disconnect. PAPAYA: Abrupt disconnect in the middle of that's just asking to wake up to a panic attack so we try to prevent it. PAPAYA: We also monitor stress levels to avoid hitting extremes as best we can. MAES: Will there be any side effects from Charon being there? PAPAYA: He won't bleed over at all if you're worried. MAES: But...he will be able to see the environment reflect me, correct? PAPAYA: If you allow it, then yes. MAES: Mm. MAES: Is there anything you, Papaya, think I should know going in?
Their look is stern. PAPAYA: You have full control. PAPAYA: This device isn't designed to and can't probe more than you're willing. PAPAYA: If you need to stop, we'll stop. MAES: Good. MAES: And to be clear- this is a test for you, as well. MAES: If you can't handle what my mind gives you, you need to voice that so I can act accordingly. MAES: If I find you're covering up your own inability to take on this level of severity for the sake of a paycheck, I will make consequences for you. MAES: ...my rehab residents deserve the best, and I am taking a gamble on you. MAES: Your honesty with your own limits is necessary. PAPAYA: I've been at this for a real long time and I did a little background research on this place. PAPAYA: If I didn't think I could do this, wouldn't try to begin with. PAPAYA: Promise you I'll let you know.
Maes’ posture stiffens up visibly.
There’s a lot of things that could mean. It’s fine. We have a long history of achievements, it’s probably just- MAES: What kind of background research. PAPAYA: Previous management.
Maes’ fur bristles.
Fuck. PAPAYA: When I got the details on who would be the primary clients for this, a colleague advised looking into it and well... I really hope the rumors aren't true, can't imagine going through that.
Don’t fucking look down on me, on us- MAES: That information is currently confidential to those outside the facility, you shouldn't have been able t-
Their voice, laden with ice, is cut off by a warm, reassuring tone. CHARON: Boss, I did a lot of the same myself, if you recall. CHARON: Don't think it comes from ill intent here. MAES: …
