A Peculiar Game

A Peculiar Game

A Peculiar Game

 

Welcome to!!! Well, the small place. That's what we call it here.

Of course, we're still in the rudimentary stages of production at the moment, so please remain patient as we continue to adapt and improve, and please don't hesitate to notify us if you spot any problems with the system! You will be receiving your assigned companion shortly, and by then will be tasked with a compatible mission.

 

A few moments pass as you stand, mulling over the robotic voice's words from much earlier. Suddenly, the grey walls of the cylindrical capsule slide apart seamlessly, a dull bluish light spilling into the ever-widening gap until the entire structure disappears, all without so much as a single whir. It's almost eerie how these things work nowadays.

 

Thank you for your patience! Another cheerful robot's voice chirps. Your companion will be stationed at your control panel; please proceed in order to accept your mission.

 

You step forward, each click of your heel reverberating against the pristine modern looking interior. It gives off such a cold and empty impression. When you finally reach the opposite side of the room, you lower yourself into a (modified) office chair. As soon as you are fully seated, the unnaturally white lights flick off, leaving you alone in the dark with only the faint blue glow of a pseudo-screen.

 

<Welcome, esteemed Host>

The words scrawl themselves upon the screen. You tap one of many buttons on the screen. Very well, here is your mission.

The choppy words cease again, yielding to more print.

 

<The mission requires for you to fulfil the wishes of the Initial upon the incident that resulted in death. >

<You will be provided with the following information on each of the instigators:

 

Name: (may be alias, may have multiple)

Pronouns:

Appearance: (may be unknown)

Worst personality trait(s):

Best personality trait(s):

Peculiar skills: (may be vague)

Packing list:

Optimism: (on a scale of 1 to 10)

Other: (may not be any additional information)>

 

The slightest of smiles plays over your features as you drum your fingers against the armrest of your chair.

 

"How very interesting."

 

 

It's sort of like a ski-lodge, but not quite! And well, perhaps you're interested?

And if you have any questions, feel free to ask! (We might move over here, actually, since the writing is the main point of this "game," but it's still interactive to a certain extent, so...)

Haha, see ya there?

Thanks for the cooperation!

Not sure if this is what you wanted to know, but ski-lodges are vasically murder mysteries that us CBers come up with; participants just enter the info for the form and the storyteller spins a story, where one of the CBers is the culprit behind the killing spree. (The original took place in a ski lodge, hence the name "ski'lodges")

This is sort of like that, but I'd like to focus more on the narrative and characters all that good stuff. Tune in when you get a chance to see what'll happen~

Sure, Heroes, then. Thanks for signing up!

Sounds pretty cool. (you gave me a good laugh with the optimism level; not sure if I should go easy on you or let you flourish on your own over there...)

I guess I'll have to get around to addressing that soon though, More character nuance, right?
