Kid in a Candy Store Universe
What do you do when death, murder, and most laws disappear? When the laws of physics are no longer a requirement to the functionality of a world? When things you assume true about life in general no longer are?
A civilized society would course consider this to be a utopia, where people would exist hand in hand with each other, all races and creeds coming together in something resembling the most idealized soda commercial on could imagine. Knowledge and information would flow freely. Life would be good.
I have seen this. It is not the future, nor is it utopia. It is my world.
In my world, where we have broken down these limits, these walls, all we have found is a new way to exploit our baser instincts. The will to breed, to spread our genetic code, is simply applied at a level that we couldn't achieve with things like "laws" and "physics" and "grevious bodily harm" standing in our way.
In other words, in a world where anything can be done, anything is done, but most of that anything involves sex.
I have started this journal to lay out my experiences with life in this world. In an instant, I can become man, animal, or a floating multicolored torus. In all cases, there will be a partner for me. There will be someone looking, someone wanting, someone waiting to be fulfilled.
The only rule I choose to follow is "Do No Harm". Emotions still lie under the same rules as anywhere else, and are still as much part of the playing field here as they would be in any other universe involving human nature.
However, in a world where one can quickly and easily regrow a limb, harm has a more... subjective definition.
