Let's see if this idea can come to life...
Original characters are allowed, posted profiles too... PM me for entry. ___________________________________________________ What Just Happened? A no-genre RP by Kasu Shinbai.
---------------------------------------- You don't need an introduction... Not unless you want one... There are no stats... just words... actions... feelings... There also may be no... hope...
You wake up. You are not sure of where you wake up. This is a problem. You cannot see. Maybe there is a problem with your eyes... or are the lights out?
Just try to answer these questions before it is too late...
Who are you? Where are you? Why are you here? How will you get out? What just happened?

Who are you?
I'm...not really sure. Who are you?
I'm you.
Oh. Ok.
Where are you?
I, can't really answer that either, it's a bit hard to see at the moment. Or is this just some twisted dream?
I don't know.
Me neither.
Why are you here?
Look, stop asking me these hard to answer questions, you. I mean, me. Or you. Whichever.
How will you get out?
That's, something I'm about to find out...if I can.
***
Ian shakes his head. I need to stop having these weird conversations with my mind. Besides, I can't really think at the moment...
First, he tries to figure out if he's standing up or not by crouching, if he can.
Second, he'll attempt to shrug his shoulders to see if both his arms are attached.
Third, he'll lift up both his arms and jump if need be to see if can figure out where the ceiling is in relation to him.
Fourth, he'll attempt to reach both his arms out in front of him and rotate in a full circle to figure out if there are any walls.

Ian (Darkness):
You cannot see. You have a hard time moving, and there is a small bit of pain in your left arm.
Step one finds you laying on the floor. Step two has you shrugging your shoulders strangely. Your arms are still there. Step three: You cannot feel the celing. Step four: You seem to be enclosed in what feels like a 12x12 room with no door.
A strange cackle comes from somewhere.
((Here we go!))

Ian sighs. This isn't quite how I imagined my day would go...or, is it? Was I just born? How do I know this language, then?
...I'm...thinking about this too hard.
He attempts to stand up, his right arm clutching the spot on his left from which the pain seems to emit. After doing so, whether he succeeds or fails, he waits for a bit, listening for any further noises, and then asks a question in a slightly raised voice.
"To, whom do I owe this conversation? Or should I say...this lack there of?"
This time, he listens much more carefully, in order to attempt to pinpoint the orator of the previous chuckle...unless a new person should choose to speak.

??? (Control Room) Hmm... a new victim awakens...
Ian (Darkness) A voice crackles out of an unseen P.A. box. "Welcome Ian. How are you doing? I trust you have awoken with a slight... confusion, correct?"

Post by secretofmana on Jan 4, 2007 18:52:37 GMT -5
Wha...? That, voice, I can't say I've ever heard it before...have I?
He sighs, and decides to respond to the question.
"Yeah, I...guess that would be a pretty good way of, understating the case."
He pauses for a bit.
"Who...are you, anyways?"

Ian (Darkness)
"Oh, me? I'm nobody... I just control your fate. But... I will let you get out alive. One one condition, though."
A large clunk sounds and light fills your chamber.
"Get out of this room alive, and we'll see what happens from there."
Another clunk sounds, and the P.A. box falls from somewhere.
You are blinded, and the pain in your arm is starting to worsen.

Ian sighs as he tries to look away from the light, or get his eyes used to it, so he can finally see. I, was hoping he, or it, whatever one calls...a 'nobody', would let me continue to rest here, but...apparently not. Controls my fate... He sighs again. Sadistic guy, it would seem...
...I had quite a few more questions to ask that guy, actually, like, where am I? Why am I here? Is it normal to have conversations with 'nobody'? Are there any others besides me? Why are you suddenly blinding me with light coming...from...some nonexistent space...?
...Wait, if, there's light coming into this chamber, that either means there's now a door open...or there's just a really bright light fixtated, right above me. ...Yeah. ...My arm really hurts.
Ian attempts to get up once again despite the pain, and this time, if successful, he will attempt to walk backwards until he hits a wall. Once done, he will move his body along the wall until he comes across an open space in the wall if there is one, all the time attempting to adjust his eyes to the light. Once he can see better, he'll observe his surroundings for anything peculiar, i.e. a mysterious space where the P.A. Box was.

Ian (Darkness)
You back up and hit a wall. After about 5 minutes, your eyes adjust to the light, only to see that there is a door floating in mid air about 25 feet above your head, and that the walls are grey bricks.
There is no other exit.

Akira: Now finally posting here; hoping I'm not intruding on anything...
Where...? Akira couldn;t tell, or perhaps, didnot want to know, and her pale eyes were shut tightly together. Lights danced under her eyelids. Curiosity took control, and slowly, very very slowly, her eyes peeked a little at her surroundings.
Akira could not breathe. Her chest felt heavy, as if a weight had been tied to it. Trying to breathe and struggling against near suffocation, she painfully gasped for air and choked, her pitiful attempt for relief caught in her throat. Was she alive? Or was she dead?

Ian gives yet another sigh, and crouches down against the wall.
Now, I, see that he, or it, isn't going to make...any of this easy for me at all. It, and all of its flying, doors...
He squints at the door a bit, and examines it closely, as though looking for any sign of strings holding his potential exit up.
...Ehh, before, I do anything to drastic, I, should make an inventory check...and figure out, why my arm hurts.
First, he rolls up his sleeve on his left arm to see if his digital watch he remembers having is still there, as well as to examine the source of his unexplained pain.
Second, he digs into his pockets to find out if his family's prized pocket knife remains in place, or if he has any other random stuff in his jeans.

(Control Room) Victim #2 awakens...Akira (Chaos): A voice crackles above your head. A seemingly pre-recorded message states: "Welcome. You will die. Not yet though. You must do exactly as I say in order to live for as long as you can. First task: Find your... common cents..." You hear jingling and realize that there are 3 quarters, a dime and 3 pennys in your pocket. Ian (Darkness) Your watch is still there. It constantly flashes 88:88, and you can't change it. A small hole is found right below the inside of your elbow, and a scab remains from what seems to be a puncture wound, as if somebody had injected something. You find your prized knife... without the blade. It seems to be snapped at the helm, and you cannot find the rest of the blade. You hear jingling and realize that there are 3 quarters, a dime and 3 pennys in your pocket.

"That voice... Where...?" Akira squints skyward, grimacing as the muscles in her chest tightened. Small cold hard objects in her pocket bump against her leg. She reaches into her pocket and takes out the coins. "Find your... common cents? Or common sense...?"
Akira strains to see the coins in the palm of her hand, and says aloud, "I surely do, need some light." Clutching the coins in her hand, Akira attempts to stand. Not knowing where on earth she was, she was cautious to make sure there was no low cielings above her head. Perhaps after she found some source of luminescence, her surroundings, and the coins, would begin to come together.

Akira (Chaos)
After stumbling around a bit, you find a light switch. You switch it, and all of the lights in the room turn on, then break instantly. From what you could see during the flash, you seem to be in a room full of computer monitors. They are all off.
"Ouch. Bad move there. Now you have to find your way out AND avoid the glass." the voice crackles.

Ian looks at the coins for a bit, and then examines his watch again.
What...? I...have an obsession with the number 88, it would seem...or...did he put these coins in, here and set my watch?
...I, wonder, about this wound...Did he give, this, to me? If, so...why? Did, I put up a struggle in being, sent here? Or...?
He sighs again.
I, keep getting sidetracked...Right now, I, should be focusing on reaching that door...
He stands up, and looks at the wall straight ahead.
...
I, really am far too tired to even be, thinking about trying something, like, this, but, I might as well...attempt it...
Ian takes a deep breath, and exhales.
He attempts to run at the wall directly in front of him, full speed, and just before he collides with it, he will attempt to run up it as far as I can. Should he run out of momentum to keep going, he will attempt to snatch at the closest brick and hang on.
However, if he gets pretty close to the door's height, he will attempt to jump off the wall towards the door, hoping to grab on to the knob and swing through it.
Let's see if you live up to your promise...

Ian (Darkness)
You manage to jump off of the wall and hang on to the doorknob. The door slowly opens and you make your way through it...
Ian (Crowd) and straight into a busy intersection in the heart of downtown Chicago. You may want to move.
The door has disappeared.

Ian blinks, as a person shoves him by and continues walking. And another.
He sighs.
It's, over. ...Wow. For some reason, I thought, there might've been more rooms...or, something, of the like.
He looks back at the door.
No, explanation...Just words, feeling, and hope...And now, an ending...A momentary voyage into the abyss of the bizarre...
He looks at the coins in his hand.
...Whatever...Back to my normal, life, albeit without a clue of my location...
He sticks his hand in his pockets, and starts walking, eventually attempting to break from the crowd and walk into one of the buildings nearby, should there be one.

Ian (Crowd)
"Oh no, Ian. You're not done. Your still just where you were, but somewhere else. Now that you've gotten out... you may want to find your... common cents." a man says while passing by you.

As the man speaks, Ian sighs, but no surprise is shown on his face, as though he had been expecting something of the like.
"My...common cents?"
He looks at the money again.
"...Gotcha."
He attempts to break from the crowd and walk into the closest building, sticking his hands in his pockets.

Akira sighs. "Oh great. Computer monitors."
The coins in her hand jingled as she tossed them into the air. Catching them, she swiftly put them into her pocket. "Now lets see what else I've got to get me outta here."

Akira (Chaos)
Nope, You have nothing except for the money. And the fact that there is broken glass on the ground, coupled with the absence of light.
Suddenly, one of the monitors comes to life, and reveals... you... from a different angle. They all eventually flicker to life, revealing a dull glow from each one. Except one. It's stuck in a corner, just out of reach.
Ian (Crowd)
As you walk to the nearest building, a large grey block of symmetrical sides, doors, and windows, a couple of things become easily noticed:
1. The police are blocking the entrance to this building, 2. One of the windows is glowing a dull, yet vivid orange, and 3. A message, freshly written by a stunt plane says: "THISISTHEPLACE IAN <---" with the arrow pointing to a dark window near the top.

"Is this...It must be!" Akira, however nimble from her many years or physical training, still caught small shards of broken glass on her bare feet on her way leaping from monitor-top; Row after row of illuminating computer monitors until at last coming to the one that remained turned off. "Here goes-..." she murmured reaching out her fingers for the black glass screen. Her sentence was cut off. It would've finished with "nothing..."...
or "everything..."...

Ian, for seemingly the first time in an eternity, actually smirks as he reads the message and follows the arrow. But this is only for a fleeting moment: when he realizes just how high up the window is, he sighs.
I, wonder if...no, that's, a foolish thought.
...Oh, what, the hell...
He scratches his head as he walks up to the police, eyes drooped as usual.
"I...don't, suppose you guys, could, you know, move out of the way a, bit, or, perhaps, lend me a ladder?"

Akira (Chaos)
You press the monitor button, and all of the screens, one by one, start changing into a rapidly shifting color pattern. This continues to get brighter... and brighter... until you can't see anymore. You start to feel something moving, something whirring, until... Everything goes black. You can't see anything, and your finger is still on the button. The room starts shaking, and an unknown inertia pushes you against the nearest wall. 10 seconds of this and...
crash!
You black out.
Akira (Commonplace)
You wake up in what seems to be a small, 3x3x5 grey cube with one wall missing, a computer, various notes, a corkboard, and no roof. You seem to be in a cubicle, and the window nearest to you shows that it is pitch black outside.
Ian (Crowd)
The police officer eyes you strangely. "Nope. No can do." "Why not?" you ask. "I... don't know. I'm just following the cheif's orders." He points to a man in the same uniform as the officers, but with more shiny medals.
The window with the dull orange glow has gone missing, for some reason. The clouds are normal, as if the message had never been there.
