Anthology Effect - A Interactive Dopple Effect Project
#1
Rated 16+. The Following is a interactive project/anthology where one-shot stories are generated via audience prompting and ideas.

A one-eyed sorcerer lounges on the couch of a tiny little basement with a monitor setup in front of them. They watch the feed in front of them diligently, every once in awhile punching in a series of inputs on the buttons and dials on the rig attached to the television. In the sits a rancher unit keeping a protective eye over the process, making sure this rabbity wizard doesn't bite off more than they can chew with their otherworldly experiments.

Finding things at a standstill from time to time, the sorcerer breaks their silence for a little assistance.


"Security?"

"Mm?"

"Can you help me out here?" 

"You need more prompts?"

"Yeah. Sorry for asking you so much."

"It's fine. Uh...."

"Anything is good. Just toss me something to work with."

"Uh.... dogs."

"Need a little more to work with than that."

"Dogs, a bunch of dogs. Purple. Maybe something out there? Should be sad."

"I mean that works I guess..."

"Don't really know what's helpful, or what you're doing "

"You wanna take a look?"

"I mean... don't have anything else to do, just don't tell the boss I left my post."

"You're watching over me still, you're fine. Got a name?"

"Dorothy."

"Just Dorothy?"

"I mean yeah, just a security robot right?"

"Can't be just a security robot if Mori picked you."

The rancher shrugs. "Not as fancy as being a god's right hand."

The sorcerer's ears pull back a at the compliment. "Wouldn't call myself that.... but I'm glad to be as close to them as I am. They've bailed me out of a lot of rough stuff over the past year....anyway let me just punch in what you gave me."

"Mm. Show me. I want to meet a ghost."

"You might. Let's see...." They punch in another stream of inputs on their rig. Within moments the current feed cuts out to live footage of a group of kids wandering around a city in the evening light. Dorothy's eyes widen.

"Hey, look at that. Dog in purple. Not a ghost though I think."

"Seen this kid a few times. Hope he's doing alright, he's pretty far away from home right now. Made this setup myself, call it a angel box."

"Looks just like a TV to me."

"That's not far off. Picks up signals from supernatural activity, lets you peek across time and space. It's my crystal ball."

"Like ghosts?"

"Like ghosts. Getting really strong readings lately so I've been spending more time fishing around."

"Why?"

"Passes the time. Gives me inspiration for personal projects. Plus.... I'm a sucker for some of the drama that pops up."

"Drama?"

"Mmhmm! Lot of it, you'd be surprised. Anyway you ready for more?"

"Mm. Do you need another prompt?"

"Yep. Think of anything. Doesn't matter what it is. Anything from names, to concepts, to little descriptions of objects. There's infinite worlds out there and tons of stories with them, just be careful not to push things too hard or else you might spawn something awful."

"I'll be careful."

The rancher ponders her next words intensively.
