This is the place for questions, and large amounts of meta-talk/discussion. Basically, any discussion that isn't in character.
The Story (as of now):
Servants: An Informative Guide
Chapter 1: Trust (COMPLETE)
Chapter 1 (Summary): 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.
The group had very little time for discussion. You heard conversation and footsteps in the next room, but couldn't really hear anything more than that. Without warning, a heavy-set muscular man had burst through the door, another less physically capable man named Jeffery following after him. Jeffery explained to you why you were here and the concepts of servants, revealing to you that the muscular man is actually his servant, his name being All Might.
A little while later and a platinum haired girl and two more officials followed suit into the room. They asked Jeffery what he had told them so far. Not satisfied with his answer, the white haired girl ordered one of the officials, a brunette, to gun Jeffery down right then and there, the other dragging him out of the room. She informed the group her name was Miriam. Trying to further explain their purpose, she quickly realized nobody was fond of her because of what she had done not even a minute ago. She decided an icebreaker was in order, and so she passed a gun around the table, ordering everyone that it was time to play Russian Roulette.
All except one was not willing to play into her game, so she called it off. She revealed to them that this was a test in strength, trust and perception, and that everyone had failed. Nobody had the strength to play the game, nobody was perceptive enough to realize that the gun was empty and nobody was able to trust her nor themselves. She scolds everyone, and dismisses the game. She then asks if everyone is ready to recieve their servants, to everyones reluctant agreement.
She performs the ritual which involves everyone gathering and holding her hand. She tells them she's going to strengthen their bond with a lost world, responsible for the visions they've been having their entire lives. Doing so causes everyone immense pain, but the process is over very quickly. Everyone is now able to see their servants, and greets them.
After the servants demanifest, Miriam escorts them out of the room and introduces them to a luxury penthouse, and informs them this is where they'll be staying... but there's a catch: a bunch of yakuza members are on their way to kill them because Miriam had kidnapped their leader. She of course isn't around to stay, her and associates walk over to the balcony and take a private helicopter away.
Forced to fight these gang members, everyone participates in using their servants and their surroundings in order to survive. This goes on for a while, but concludes with the apartment destroyed and the gang members beaten or killed. Miriam calls and tells them she's dissapointed in the destruction and death they've caused, and orders them to go to their half-destroyed rooms, letting them know people are on their way to fix the damage... which all agree to.

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.
