Hay, if your still here I'd be happy to RP with you!
Just be warned I'm still kinda new at this.
Ok how's this: lets say your at an ancient temple, a good mile or so up a giant hill, which at the base of it is your not to particularity large village.
Coming from this temple for many thousands of years has been a tiny, but long stream of water; and by tiny I mean barley two centimeters wide. It has never seemed like a blessing or curse of any sort; it never grows any larger and stops at the ocean not barley two miles the other way from the village. The village has wells and another actually large river not to terribly far away.
Not sure of it's meaning the village elders have long sense forbid anyone from entering the temple.
In the temple atop a pedestal sits a considerably large vase, filled to the brim with water that is slowly spilling over the edge forming the tiny steam. Nothing seems to be pumping the water into the vase.
...and that's the set up! You can play as what ever you wish, have any motivation you want, and if you want to change the set up or anything go right ahead.
