All is now revealed

I like you guys, at least I like the ones who actually read this thing. I like the ones who comment even better! :) So I'd like to be more involved with you, or let you be more involved with me, or whatever.

Thus, I'm starting a new project, for me it'll be something of a writing exercise. For you it'll be a chance to participate in the writing process. You've started already, because I put all the names and colors I was given (here and on Furaffinity, which is where this project will primarily run) and drew one out of a hat.

So in just a few minutes I'll be posting the first segment of The Amazing Adventures of Roland the Indigo Dragon. :D

What kind of adventures will Roland have? Well, that's entirely up to you guys.

Here's how the process works:

1. I post a story segment, you read it. At the end of the segment I'm going to ask a question about what comes next.

2. You comment to answer that question with an idea.
OR
You comment in response to a comment already there and support somebody else's idea.

3. If there is one idea that gets put up by the most people/commented on the most, that's the idea that I'll pick, and I'll write the next segment accordingly.

4. If there is no clear winner amongst your suggestions, I'll write them all down and draw one from a hat, and then proceed as per step 3. :)

So this is not just going to be a "Choose your own adventure" style story, where I've plotted it all out ahead of time and you just get to pick which branch it goes down. No, the creative process is entirely in your hands. I'll just contribute the actual words, the plot is all yours.

The story is posted, the adventure has already begun! Click on the link below to read. I'll try to post regularly, though I know there will be occasional pauses in the tale. I hope you all will join and help me tell the story. Suggestion comments are valid both here and over on FA.

The Amazing Adventures of Roland the Indigo Dragon.

Edited to add one small rule:
Please do not suggest grand story arcs. JUST what happens right now.

Today your suggestion should answer the question "what is that sound?"

*Your idea must meet the above rule else I won't count it. Sorry!

Whoo hoo, go Roland!

My suggestion for the source of the sound: an anthro rabbit type being, female, strikes me that she's dressed like a gypsy in my head.

He hears the small laughter and jabber of a toddler, accompanied by her older siblings. They're pioneers, bonnets and all, looking for firewood.
