Earth maaaaay have been through a little bit of an apocalypse or two, nothing much, just a complete shattering of Reality itself is all. Urban legends, folklore, cryptids, fantasy tech, magic, super powers, psychic abilities, the list goes on and on, and all that is paranormal is now made... well, normal, really. It's much like today is, only the tech is a little fancier, the wildlife more magical, the world a little weirder, the continents are a different shape, the moon has a HOLE in it, improbable events are a daily occurrence, and humanity looks a little bit different, but survive humanity did.

This story focuses on three main protags, all three of whom have been transformed by the world they live in, literally. Together they will explore their world, and hopefully find what they're looking for and the safety they seek.
[The Lost One] Nebula, the slime. Once a human, Nebula was transformed into a slime after getting lost underneath the Big City and losing all their human memories. Now, they wander the haunted woods of Big Forest, looking for a place to call their own.
[The Sweet One] Cherry Maraschino, the candy ghost. Insta-killed in a dimensional tear which heavily damaged her essence, a demonic contract and a little temporal manipulation later patched her essence into a ghost straight out of a horror movie. Sure, she may be completely incoporeal now, but at least the skirt is cute, right?
[The Silent One] Sprigg, the plant spirit. Once human with a cursed voice, an encounter with a dryad took care of both the curse and the humanity, getting adopted in a rather... unusual way, removing her ability to speak, among other things. Its not so bad being made of vegetation, really, if a bit slow and quiet.

Part of a planned shared story universe. Completely original work. This is my first attempt at writing a long form story.

Mature content warning for:
Descriptions of body horror and transformations, graphic cartoon violence, death

Characters are femme coded, hence the girls love. Won't get into anything sexual, more queer platonic. Found family.
