Cheese United he/him Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 "He's not normal. He's insane. Unlike me." Cheese popped in before he could answer, annoying everyone. 1
vineyarddawg Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 "Yep. Jus' a plain ol' normal redneck." Bubba picked up an empty beer can that had suddenly appeared on the floor of the White Room and spit into it. Then he hesitated. "Uh, well... I mean, mostly normal. For some reason, I can't go nowhere unless my imaginary friend Stephen goes with me. And I can't always just summon him when i want. It's real annoyin' when I run out of dip. Or spit cups." Everybody near him took a step back. "But now you, Miss Clare... are you pretendin' to be dead or somethin'? (/spit) You gotcha dress all floatin' around and whatnot." I don't know why I'm focusing on the dip thing. Sorry about that... kinda? 1
Cheese United he/him Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 Hey man, I make a pretty mean dip.And also he's managed to convince himself he's not insane becuase I'm too lazy to actually try and write an insane character. let's hope this color thing works
vineyarddawg Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 "Oh, really? Well, I might need ta make a new friend, then. Heh." Bubba laughed towards no one in particular. Then his eyes got very serious: "But does it taste more like Skoal or Copenhagen? 'Cause I can't stand that Copenhagen crap. Named after some Euro-trash country and all, ya know."
Cheese United he/him Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 "It tastes like heaven in a dip man. Not like that crap Copenhagen stuff."
vineyarddawg Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 "Uh... Heaven? In a dip? You insane or somethin'?"
Cheese United he/him Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 I'm not insane! Geez, why does everyone think I'm insane! Maybe you're insane, you ever thought about that? Huh? Did ya? Cheese was not happy that people still thought he was insane. 1
Peng the Just he/him Posted February 11, 2015 Posted February 11, 2015 In as JP. I believe I'm Santa. 2
vineyarddawg Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 "Uh... you sure about that?" Bubba was slightly dumbfounded (well, slightly more than usual, anyway). "Meanin' no disrespect, miss, but you don't look no more dead to me than that dude over there looks like Santa Claus." Almost as soon as Bubba finished saying this, a kindly-looking, white-bearded gentlemen dressed as Santa Claus walked into the room. "Well, smet." For those who haven't read the books, smet is a "future curse" that J.C. uses.
Peng the Just he/him Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 Careful, cursing can get you put on the naughty list. 1
vineyarddawg Posted February 12, 2015 Posted February 12, 2015 "Really? Santa Claus? Aw, sme... uh... shoot. You're gonna be just as bad as Ivy, ain't ya?" Bubba spit into his spit cup pensively. "I think I'm just gonna go talk to Bathroom for a little while." Bubba knew, of course, that Ron's last name was "Lav," but he thought it was incredibly clever of himself to come up with the nickname "Bathroom" instead. As he looked around, though, he saw that Ron wasn't actually in the White Room yet. Probably because there are no shadows for him to hide in, Bubba thought. He poked his head through the door of the White Room into the dimly-lit hallway. "Hey Bathroom! Where you at? Come on in here!"
Herowannabe he/him Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 As a rule clarification, can we RP in the White Room? Nope! (once the game begins) the white room is strictly for posting your votes and room choices. All RPing will take place in the PM group Rooms.
Herowannabe he/him Posted February 13, 2015 Author Posted February 13, 2015 (edited) This is completely off topic, but I just wanted to let everyone know that I just added 3 more cards to my Mistborn Valentine's Day Cards album. Check them out here. [/blantant self-promotion] Edited February 13, 2015 by Herowannabe 4
Gamma Fiend he/him Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Din peeked back into the White Room. If anything, his trepidation had only grown, but strangely, so had his confidence. Oh, sure. He was shy and awkward around everybody else, but at least he wasn't insane. Not like some of the oddballs in there. So while their strangeness helped him find a sense of ease, their brash and confrontational demeanor was almost enough to send him into a panic.But no. He promised himself that he would face his fears. For as long as he could remember, social situations had always brought him extreme bouts of anxiety.Wait a minute, he paused with a thought. I can't actually remember any social situations I've ever been a part of. It was odd. He could remember always feeling uncomfortable around people, but he just couldn't recall any of those people in particular.What am I even doing here? He thought suddenly, aghast. Had his anxiety gotten so bad, that it had shut out all other aspects of his life? Was that what he was doing here, in this place he couldn't remember going to, surrounded by these people he had no clue who they were, or where they came from?He took a deep breath."I only know one thing. That I'm going to conquer my fears." He took a gigantic leap and a small step through the door of the White Room, drawing the attention of everybody present.He gulped. "I'm Din." He said, barely above a whisper. Then before he panicked and bolted back out of the room, he shuffled over along the wall, working himself towards the corner and away from everybody's questioning eyes.I'd like to reiterate that I know nothing about the books (but don't care about Spoilers!), so I hope my RP isn't too off, or hope my portrayal of some weird version of Social Anxiety isn't too much! But with that said, I'll officially sign up for this game! 3
Cheese United he/him Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 . He was shy and awkward around everybody else, but at least he wasn't insane. Not like some of the oddballs in there. Cheesy Rogers resents this. 1
Herowannabe he/him Posted February 14, 2015 Author Posted February 14, 2015 I'd like to reiterate that I know nothing about the books (but don't care about Spoilers!), so I hope my RP isn't too off, or hope my portrayal of some weird version of Social Anxiety isn't too much! But with that said, I'll officially sign up for this game! Welcome aboard Gamma! Don't worry, there shouldn't be any spoilers because we're not actually dealing with the plot lines of either books. All you really need to know is the premise- which is spelled out pretty clearly in all the previews and descriptions of the books: Stephen Leeds isn't crazy. He is gifted. He's a super genius- able to master any subject or skillset in a brief period of time, but is only able to do so by creating an imaginary person- an aspect- to contain that information. All of his aspects, however, -are- crazy, in one form or another. 1
vineyarddawg Posted February 14, 2015 Posted February 14, 2015 Finally, An extremely nervous man tentatively stepped through the door next to Bubba and mumbled something to himself. "Alright! 'Bout time you came in here Bathro... oh. Uh, sorry about that, new guy." He spit into his spit cup. "I'm Din," the new arrival said, barely above a whisper. Then he quickly shuffled away from Bubba towards the corner of the room. Bubba watched Din retreat, then shook his head and sauntered back over to Clare and Cheesy. "I don't mean to be insultin' to a lady, Miss Clare, but I'm startin' to think the whole group of y'all are 'bout as crazy as Cheezy here. Well, almost as crazy, anyway. I know Cheezy says he ain't, but you just look at his eyes. I shore wouldn't go fishin' alone with him. Prob'ly end up like that Frodo dude in the Godfather movie." 2
Herowannabe he/him Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 So this is slated to start tomorrow, but I was hoping for a few more people. It is doable with 10 people, but 12-16 would be much preferable. If anyone is sitting on the fence about this one, we'd really love to have you join us. 2
Aonar he/him Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Gah. I've been meaning to get around to this, but I keep forgetting. Hmm... Gamma's already stolen social anxiety disorder... Why don't I just go for sociopathy? Adrian Fox is signing up. RP may or may not be to come, depending on how much time I have. 2
Sart he/him Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I generally don't like playing in games where I haven't read the books, but if you need more players, I'll gladly sign up. Abe Smith was always losing things. His car keys, his wallet, anything was prone to disappear around him. It was annoying to say the least, but he dealt with it. He knew he wasn't real, so naturally the things he lost weren't real either. Therefore, he could only conclude that every thing he lost faded from existence. It didn't feel that way though... 1
Lightsworn Panda he/him Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 Almighty GM Herowannabe, I would like to humbly request a sign-up extension, in the hope of more players.
Jo and the Bush all/any Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 I'll sign up, but i won't be RP'ing. I'll be Joe.Describe his as you like. 1
Herowannabe he/him Posted February 17, 2015 Author Posted February 17, 2015 Almighty GM Herowannabe, I would like to humbly request a sign-up extension, in the hope of more players. Well, we've already had 3 more people sign up since I posted that yesterday. We'll see what the next 24 hours brings. I'm not opposed to an extension though. When does the next night cycle end in the Shards Long Game? Maybe I'll start this up right after then, so that whoever doesn't survive the night will have the opportunity to join.
Alvron Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 It had taken Ron Lav awhile to gather up the courage to walk into the white room. It was the largest room in the building and it was white making it seem even larger. Worse, it looked like at least a dozen others were already waiting. Crowds and a large space. Surely it was fully understandable that Ron was on edge the moment he entered the room. Which is why no one really blinked an eye when Ron punched Bubba in the mouth right before he could call Ron by that nickname Bubba insisted on using. "You know I hate that." I don't really but Ron doesn't really get on well with people. Walking over to an unoccupied seat, Ron broke a couple of bulbs on the wall increasing the shadows nearby. Feeling a little better, Ron settled down in his chair shrouded by shadows to wait for the guest of honour.
Antillar Maximus he/him Posted February 17, 2015 Posted February 17, 2015 (edited) Mortimer Jennings is joining. He is convinced that he is the only one alive who is truly conscious. Edited February 18, 2015 by Antillar Maximus 1
