(RP) Legion Of Man - Chapter 1

4,256
658
Chapter 1 (Prologue): Ever since you were young, you have had a strange connection to an unknown force. This connection would manifest in the form of vague daydreams, occasional whispers, and the even more rare split-second visions. You've lived with it for as long as you can remember, but have never really stopped and questioned it. This has been insignificant to your life as of now.

A small group of three to four well-dressed men have arrived at your place of residence, a black BMW parked on your property. They have informed you that your presence was absolutely necessary, and that they would need your cooperation as soon as possible, giving you only a couple hours before you would have to go... but they couldn't say where, or even why. You either agreed or you didn't, either way they've managed to get you to go, via promises of money, smooth-talking, threatening, or by force; whatever means necessary. Part of the agreement is that you would stay blindfolded when arriving at your destination, so you have no idea where you're going.

The car comes to a pause, and they inform you that "we're here". They begin to help you out of the car, and it becomes apparent by the noise you're somewhere in the city, likely downtown. They escort you further, entering a building or shelter of some sort before taking an elevator, followed by some more walking, until... pause. Still blindfolded, they ask you to take a seat, helping you navigate a chair you cannot see. Finally, removing your blindfold, you find yourself in a rather attractive looking conference room, surrounded by others (other player characters!) of varying appearance. The men slap a nametag on your chest and leave the room through a metal double-door, a loud click as the doors open, and a loud thud as the doors close. You are all seemingly left alone for the time being.

Chatting and Interaction Rules:

- Roleplaying must be done in first person. You are your character, you are not controlling your character. Example: I ask the man further, "Just exactly what are you hiding?" my hand tucked into my shirt pocket.

- All meta-speak/out of character speak must be done in [square brackets]. Example: I casually throw my fist towards the man. [Am I fast enough to actually touch him @ProfessorLord?]

- One action or command at a time. You can make your actions long and lengthy, but ultimately limit yourself to just one action. Example: I reach out, trying to grab a hold of the woman... NOT: I reach out and grab the woman, while also shooting the man grabbing her in the face. The only exception is talking, you can talk more than once in a post.

- Don't force your actions onto other players, always ATTEMPT to attack a character or an enemy, never force the result on them. Example: I grab my sword, thrusting it towards the ma... this is okay, it gives the GM (me) or another player character a chance to react, if possible, what's not okay is: I grab my sword and stab the man in the chest... you just forced the result of your action onto him, regardless if he was bulletproof or something of the sort. The only exception to this rule is fodder characters, you are allowed to force your actions on fodder characters, so long as the result is logical and feasible.

- YOU and every single character is subject to death at any second. Play smart, not dumb. If you want to play for as long as possible, I'd suggest your character imitate how you would really act. There is consequences for blatantly being ********.

Playing Times:

There will be certain times when I will inform the whole thread that we as a whole are taking a break. I will make this very clear and obvious. Once a break has been declared, any discussion or actions will not be acknowledged, so please refrain from posting. I will let you know once we have resumed. These breaks will usually only last a few hours or so, and I'll only employ them when there's a lot of player characters who are unactive, so they can get caught up. Furthermore, once this chapter has been concluded, it will take a day or two before I create another thread.

During a break, I suggest you take all your discussion to the meta thread.

With everything cleared up, let's jump right into it:
 
[Currently, everyone is situated as described at the end of the prologue. You are all in a room together, waiting for seemingly nothing.]
 
I wonder why we're here. If it wasn't for the money, I wouldn't agreed to follow such sketchy people. I decide to stay quiet and wait for the people in charge to explain the situation.
 
[You are unable to recognize any of the buildings, partly because of how high up you seem to be, and partly because of the cloudy weather.]
 
"..." I hear the question but would rather not answer, I get up and begin looking around the room and at the people before thinking 'Well this is quite an interesting situation'.
 
PsychoWarper said:
"..." Dedric doesn't anwser and looks around, checking out the people and the room itself before thinking to himself 'Well isn't this interestng'.
[Please refrain from speaking and roleplaying in third person. I'm trying to get everyone to BE their characters, not control their characters.]
 
I ask [scrolls up to character chart] Ryan [though I don't know his name in verse] "What can you see from here?"
 
[I thought it was implied during the prologue, but I'll specify it here. Everyone has a name tag on, you know what everyone's name is so long as you can see their chest]
 
I respond, as i continue to back away from the windows, "Not much, although i might have seen a few billboards, but i'm not sure."
 
"Did anyone even bring their phone? You can just search up where we are y'know." I said, just hoping for something to happen.

[Just read the top and retconned it]

I say "Not me. I think the real problem is getting out though."
 
As if in response to Torstan, there's a loud banging noise that can be heard in another room.

[Furthermore, a GPS jammer is very quickly deployed, your current location varies from Los Vegas to Quebec. Basically, it's inaccurate.]
 
I say, "Well, when this happens in fiction, the best place to start is with what we have in common. Anyone?"
 
Torlikoff said:
"Well, considering we haven't spoken in the slightest, I'd say social awkwardness."
[Ded]

I say "Well, I'm guessing not being all there isn't why they brought us here [that stealth pun tho]
 
DragonEmperor23 said:
"I'm also one of the ones that came here for the money." I say, trying to create more common ground.
"I don't think everyone did though, or at least I didn't. Let's try stranger things. Weird happenings and all that."
 
"What's so strange about being put into a van, blindfolded, and then brought to the top of a tower where your phone signal is jammed and no one is telling you what on earth is happening?"
 
There is a few more bangs, followed by a few seconds of footsteps in the distance, just barely enough to be heard.
 
[To Tol] I breathe in deeply and say, "Yeah, there's that obviously. But think before all this happened."
