B-movie :Roll call : who goes where?
- Thread starter DrZombie
- Start date
We're getting started; Those who haven't got a character yet ,just come up with a name and background ASAP, the rest can wait a little : we won't be using too much rolls the first few posts anyway, since it'll be the start of the trip, sorting out who's sitting where, and complaining about whatever. You know, the first five minutes of the regular movie. (yes, I know, we should start with a little flash of a steaming bed-scene involving the punk-rocker, his girlfriend and a pair of handcuffs, but if that's what you want, surf the internet, there's plenty of that if you know where to look)
Anyway.
A few basics:
spoken words in bold,
thoughts in italic
No colours : they make my head hurt.
OOC : as little as possible in the ingame thread, use the OOC thread as much as you want.
You roll all the dice yourself. I trust you. Really.
AS to what's gonna happen : feel free to speculate to your hearts desire, there'll be a small prize for the first to guess at what's going on
.
The basic concept and the start of the game:
You're all from the same town. Uncle roger kindly lent his cabin and landcruiser for the trip.
It's about a six-hour drive to the settlement closest to the cabin, then another two-hour drive on dirt-tracks to the cabin itself. Due to the terrain it would be a two-day hike on foot. You're pretty isolated.
The plan is to leave in the early morning, drive to the settlement, get some food and gear for the trip in the local supermarket, and then continue to the cabin. You'll be staying there from saturday 'till saturday, returning on sunday.
The cabin is somewhere in the ozarks, don't worry overmuch about exactly where. One thing of ote : the cabin is about thirty miles from a restricted army area .
Let the speculation begin.

Meat suffered from Guillain Barre's syndrome, a virus that attacks the nervous system resulting in short term paralysis. In Meat's case short term was 9 months. He lost all muscle tone and had to relearn to walk. During his time in hospital Meat had a lot of time to think about how much he had lost, it didn't take him long to work out that instead of moaning he should be spending his time learning and looking forward. He realised how shallow he had been and swore he would rectify things as soon as he was able. His friends started noticing the change and soon it was only his girlfriend who would regularly visit. He was alive after all and even if he never walked again he could still contribute meaningfully to society. Meat got audiotapes to listen to while in hospital. He watched the history, national geographic, how to, discovery and computer channels. When he had some movement in his arms he would voraciously read. Meat has recently been released from hospital. He still sometimes suffers from dizzy spells and is occasionally shaky on his legs. A marathon runner he is not (in fact a light jog would be about all he could manage at the moment).
Meat (Anthony Cowan): Strong 1/Dedicated 1
-ex-jock, now socially conscious, thinks his friends are a little shallow, is trying to broaden his girlfriend, Muffy's, mind. Has only recently met the punk, not sure of his motives. Is recovering from a debilitating virus, is still very weak
Muffy: Charismatic
-Prom Queen, cheerleader, models, doing a liberal arts degree, dating Meat who she is finding a little irritating, she thinks he is too deep now but she still feels sorry for him and is having a hard time trying to work out how to break it off without appearing to be a bitch, the dirty weekend away is the last chance for their relationship as far as she is concerned.
Unfortunately we don't have a Muffy now so maybe Meat is just going for the fresh air?
Cheers

And yes, ladies and gentlemen, we have a first contender.
D20Dazza is an australian of unknown gender. His answer to the question is:
Audience :OOOOOOOOOOOOOOOH
'Shakes head'
Sorry mate, but that answer is WRONG. But could we have a hand of applause for this sympathetic ozzie. Ladies and gentlemen : D20Dazza.
Yes, ladies and gentlemen, the show goes on with our next contender.

Zantriel, from the intro you've noticed that I'm farting around with your background a bit. Your father died a few years ago, uncle Roger has been a kind of substitute father for you, someone you could allways turn to. He's got no children of his own, so he kinda thinks of you as "his" son. Ok?

It Has Begun
Okilidokily people, the game starts here.
A few words of explanation:
Johny wants the jeep packed friday evening, so you can all leave in the early morning Wether some of you want to stay over for the night is up to you.
There is no electricity in the cabin. The lights and stuff are all run on butane gass, you know those big container thingies you find on campervans and such. The fridge and freezer are run on gas as well.
