 Anesthetic Delirium
It starts with the flickering of light from a dying torch. An unseen wind whistles through the damp, dark corridor, threatening to get rid of the only source of light there is. There is a window, but there is stone behind it. Only at mid-day can even a sliver of light be seen and it only terrorizes the senses.
A door's nowhere to be found. Search along the stones and bricks to look for a hidden passage and you'll find none. Magic works inside to an extent, but not a single wand is handy.
A collection of lifeless shapes are assembled in the corridor. Puppets? Toys? No. Bodies, ranging from human to creatures of the dark. Are they dead? No, simply knocked unconscious by a simple intake of a dainty flower, and when they wake, they'll remember nothing, not even their names or the face of their enemy. The only thing to differentiate them from one another, aside from their appearances, are numbers engraved on their left hands. Their meaning? Not a chance they'll figure it out.
When they wake up, it'll be up to them to figure out how to get out of the room and survive. After all, there are more things to account for than are let on. Shadows have a mind of their own in this chamber, and nonsense is sometimes the only thing that makes sense.
- - - - - - - - - Hooray for weird RP beginnings that don't make any sense! The plot's still unfolding in my mind, but that's how it works! ;] Instead of having a plot where the players figure things out, this will be going a little differently.
The Twist: We will all be playing our own characters, but to lead things along, I'll be throwing in little quirks. Like a narrator, if you will. It won't be anything too dramatic, just to get things going where they should be. So if your character is grabbed by a vine from the wall, go with it. ;]
Firstly: Pick a character, any character. Muggle. Witch. Centaur. Anything. Just be sure it has speaking abilities. Work out a description or cheat and find a pretty picture. Yes, you can post names, that might be key later, but as for history and background, there's no need! Oh the perks of memory loss.
Secondly: Do me a grand favor and write out an RP sample. Yes, even you Ashlie, despite having RPed with you for four years. It doesn't matter the type or with what character. It can be from a different RP you're in the process of playing. Any sample will make me happy.
Thirdly: Read the rules please! I'm picky because it's who I am. Also, the rules make the RP run smoothly and can offer bumps and curves that every RP needs.

RULES
No Sues and Stus. Duh.
No God-Modding! Play your own character.
If you cannot post for more than a week straight and have not PMed anyone to inform them, your character will be killed off. We don't like dead weight, sorry!
No one-liners. There will ALWAYS be something more to say. Four lines minimum. Even if you want to leave the RP and want to kill off your charrie, make it worthwhile!
- - - - - - - - - If you have any questions, silly or blunt, please PM me! I know this already sounds confusing and I'd like to clear up as much as possible to make this RP, well ... possible. |
