Always accepting new arrivals. Please PM me if you want to play.
(The way I'm running this game makes it easy for people to join in the middle of plot.)

You open your eyes slowly, your vision blurry and head pulse pounding painfully in your temples. Your mouth tastes like cotton dipped in cough syrup and your tongue seems to have swollen to fill your entire mouth. Your arms feel heavy and you’re almost unable to move them, but with some concentration, you eventually lift your hand to your face. The light overhead is almost unbearable and you use her hand to shield your eyes from it, groaning heavily as your roll slowly to one side. With a monumental effort, you manage to get yourself onto all fours, and then push yourself back into a sitting position. You try opening your eyes again and the light blares at you, but isn’t as unbearable as before. You attempt to regulate your breathing as your eyes adjust to the light in the room around you.

After some painful blinking, the ringing in your ears begins to subside and, while it feels like you have had anything to drink in weeks, you manage to unstuck your tongue from the roof of your mouth which makes breathing much easier. The room, you see, is very basic—there isn’t any furniture or windows and the wallpaper is peeling a little, revealing plaster and drywall behind it. On one wall, you see a door which is closed and a small hallway off to one side appears to lead to a bathroom.

In all, it just seems like a very bare, empty apartment. There’s even a small kitchenette and a little hallway. But… where are you? Actually, that’s really even less important than… who are you? And… who are these other people who are lying on the floor, blinking blearily around. What’s going on here?

So, here’s the deal. I’m still experimenting with new ways of RPing that will prevent RPs from dying out before they’re finished. This is how this is going to work. I will NOT be playing any character. I will be playing the plot. You should all interact with each other and I, as the plot, will tell you what happens as a consequence of your actions (if any).

I’m also adding a new element to this RP: You don’t build your own character sheets. Because you don’t know who you are. Get it? I will, of course, take suggestions about what type of character you would like to play, but in general, you have no idea who you’re playing. How will this work, you ask? Well, allow me to tell you.

I have a few thumbnails of faces below. You will choose what your character looks like. And, over the course of the game, I will give little bits of your memory back. Quite possibly including your name. And you get to try to piece together what has happened to you and decide what to do about it.

My rules are super easy but very important

1. Have fun. That’s always number one.
2. There is NO minimum amount line for your posts. Sometimes, you can’t do more than one sentence.
3. When you DO post, however, please check your spelling and grammar.
4. Be kind to your fine posting friends.

Pretty sure that’s it… but I reserve the right to add more.

So, here are the available characters (with their ages, because that’s kind of more obvious). If they get filled up, I can add more.

Please ask for the number next to the photo mini.

2. ~~16 years old~~ silver.bullet

He didn't want to believe that he was a bad guy, cause if he had the choice now, he wouldn't have done that. He wouldn't have wanted to do that at all.

Aiden scratched the top of his head "well apparently it wasn't a good thing, you were selling" he started. Thinking as hard as he could... but nothing really came "but what was it? what would do that?" he asked himself a loud. THINK! what would do that? illegal substances? yes but why would he sell them to a little girl?

Sylvestre shrugged "What did the television show," he asked as he put his ear to the wall to see what Jeffrey was doing, all he heard was the sound of running water, he sighed, "why would the water be on," he muttered to himself.

Gryffindorgurl · 08-22-2010, 11:36 PM

Jeffery heard Frenchie outside of his door but ignored him. Didn't they get the message that he wanted to be alone? He wasn't gonna cut himself. Merlin, they were paranoid. Well, he did shatter the mirror and cut his hand and arm in the process, but that doesn't count. He leaned his head against the wall, sighing. Eventually he'd have to come out of there, but that wasn't right now.

city_girl_95 · 08-22-2010, 11:44 PM

Oh nothing really Laryn told him, just my life, my boring life, she sighed, I didn't think anyone could live such a boring life, but evidetly, I did she shook her head as she heard water, dunno, maybe he's cleaning up she wasn't being very literate, but she didn't care, why are you here? ]I]Wherever here is[/I]

Sylvestre sighed as Jeffrey didn't open the door, he looked at Lauren and ran a hand through his hair, "Boring is better then my life," he said sadly, "I set my house with my three younger siblings in it on fire," he said as his eyes watered slightly.

He wasn't sure what to think, he felt like he was dealing with two different people who lived in the same body - one being the sweet Lisette that smiled at him from the photograph, and another being the Lisette that ran away with the ring, looking anything but miserable as she did so.

But then, just as the boy's expression was slowly beginning to turn rather stony, the girl began to cry, her slender hands covering her face. Tristan felt his heart sink at that moment, his features softening and his gaze turning a bit startled. He hadn't expected to make her cry! And the sight of such a thing nearly shattered him to pieces. "Hey..." he muttered, taking a step closer to the girl and sitting down beside her. "I'm sorry," he said softly, unable to help feeling a little guilty even though he hadn't really done anything wrong. Perhaps he was just being stubborn, but part of him just wanted to believe that Lisette truly was innocent of any fault, that in reality the one to mess things up here was him. He wasn't sure why, but he felt he preferred it that way, rather than facing the fact that perhaps Lisette wasn't necessarily an "angel in the wind" as the photograph was captioned.

Lisette shook her head as she was crying. "You must think that.. I'm a monster!" she exclaimed, bursting into tears more. Why was it like this?

"I shouldn't.. shouldn't.. have done.. that.. I was being greedy.. I was worried that you were going to give it to another girl... I thought.. that we.." she said, explaining. Well trying to explain. She rubbed her eyes with her hand. He must think that I'm a monster! she thought. She couldn't remember what else had happened! She buried her head in her knees, and her body shook a bit. She probably was a mess. Especially her hair.

OOC: Someone's assuming an awful lot.

Jeffrey, the following memory flashes through your mind: Jacob S. Philburn (not Philbert) is a fictional character from your favorite book. In the book, Jacob was murdered by his older brother, Jasper, in a spat over a woman. In fact, as you look closer at the pocket knife, you'll notice that the 'S' you thought you saw before is actually most of a worn-away 'A'. Adam... that's your middle name. It's Adam.

You feel your nerves begin to calm down a bit. Unfortunately, that gives your body more notice to feel the pain shooting up your arm from the cuts. Yup... breaking mirror bad idea. Fortunately, however, the pocket knife sparks in your other hand, the wooden bit pops out, and your cuts are healed.

OOC: Plot drop still scheduled for tomorrow.

All I know is my name, Beryl Robins, that I like this band.... The Weird Sisters," she continued, looking down at her shirt for support of getting the name of the band right, "....and I went to one of their concerts.... at one point in time, and this ring on my finger was my grandmothers," she finished finally, putting her right hand up to show her the sparkling piece of jewelry on her fourth finger.

"Nice ring Beryl..It's really suit you" August said smiling.."It's weird isn't it..that we were supposed to know each other but here we're now completely clueless" he sighed.."I wonder what kind of sick person who would do this to us" he said

"Hmm .. I guess not," Seth said, his eyes unfocusing and returning to the memory of everything he saw on that T.V screen, the only memory he seemed to have anyway. It was played again in his head, Aiden confronting him and the girl, Em, he had called her. Him, Seth, saying that he didn't take the stuff he only sold it. Aiden looking around at Em, checking to see how she was doing. Her face turning in anguish, she looked really ill. Seth trying to run for it, but Aiden stunning him as easily as if he were a bird of prey. The girl throwing up, and Aiden dropping down beside her.

"Do you think you still have your wand?" Seth asked Aiden, suddenly inspired. Maybe if he had the wand, some of them might remember some incantations that might help then. But a part of his mind doubted that Aiden would have the wand, everything seemed to have been taken from them before they were put here, or even when they were unconcious.

Aiden looked up from his train of thought. Did he have his wand on him? He immediately started checking his jeans to see if anything was in the pockets, but he would have noticed it in there before, if there was anything in there... right? But what use would a wand be, he had pretty much lost most of his memories. How would he remember any incantations?

Reincarnation Jones · 08-23-2010, 12:22 PM

Well, it was a good idea, but I'm afraid no one found a wand on them. You do remember someone with a broken stick earlier. Wasn't she talking to it? Didn't it give off a couple sparks. Could've been a trick of the light, but it's probably worth a peek.

iBeJenn · 08-23-2010, 01:12 PM

Charlotte was quiet. What did this person want from them? Why were they here? All of them had seemingly done something wrong, so why were they here instead of barred in a cell? "Maybe that person did us a favor by placing us here," Charlotte said quietly. She would prefer being here rather than locked up in some dreary cell.

But they did have some similar physical characteristics here and there, as if they were of the same kin. They definitely weren't identical, that was for sure. Fraternal was what they most likely were.

Seeing her sister attempting to suck it up and hold in her tense emotions was heart-breaking but June, not the most courageous person, stood there as still as a statue, her facial features set in an unnerved expression. What was wrong with her? Shouldn't familial instincts be kicking in at the moment? Biting her lower lip in almost the exact fashion that Sydney had hers, she reached out a tentative, shaking hand. Her dainty fingers made contact with Sydney's shoulder and she squeezed it lightly in what was supposed to be a comforting gesture, although June was so nervous and scared that it might have looked like more of a spastic movement. "It-it will be alright," She murmured, making an effort to speak a bit louder, "At least we have food, eh?" She smiled ever so slightly and gestured to the apple that was held limply in Sydney's hand.

Sydney's eyes shot up to meet her sister's when she made an attempt at comforting her. She stiffened, not exactly sure how to react to the gesture. On one hand she felt an obligation to the other girl. She decided she should to be nice to her and look after her because that was what sisters were supposed to do. On the other hand, she didn't want to be comforted by her. She didn't feel like a sister. Sydney couldn't remember any of the memories they may have shared together.

The sentimental words didn't have much of an effect on her. "It will be alright as soon as we get out of here." she muttered, looking around the room thoughtfully like she expected some sort of tunnel to appear out of no where to take them away. She felt a like an animal in a cage, being trapped in this place. Sydney didn't like the restrictions on her freedom. It made her uncomfortable... restless even, at the thought. "I suppose food is a plus." She made an effort to smile as she held up the apple. It was nearly perfect, she noted, with the exception of the missing chunk where she'd bitten into it earlier. "Are you hungry?" she inquired casually, taking another bite from the fruit. She decided to wait to see if the girl said yes or not before she clued her in on the second apple sitting in her pocket.

Beryl smiled in thanks as he commented on her name and sighed in agreement to his statement a few moments after that. But what he said afterwards made her wonder how different she really was from her two 'best friends'.

But when Charlotte spoke, Beryl felt better; maybe August was the one most on the outs in their little group. "I have to agree with Charlotte," she said, looking with a smile from the blonde girl back to August. "It seems like we all were leading pretty rough lives before." And by all she was referring to everyone in this room. When it came down to it, it seemed like what the three of them had done was rather tame compared to the others but that didn't matter.

ooc: i figured out where they were a few days ago but Beryl didn't

"I thought so, but I hoped .. " Seth said sulking, seeing Aidens empty hands after he had searched his pockets. Whomever/Whatever was doing this to them, didn't miss anything it seemed. Then he thought of something else;

"Did you see her, Em, here?" He asked Aiden raising his eyebrows and looking around the room. "Is she any of the girls here?" He asked, peering behind Aiden at Laryn on the floor with another boy. No this wasn't her. And besides, he thought, her name is Laryn.

Sylvestre sighed and looked at her, "Sorry for dropping that on you," he said with a small smile, "it's okay I don't remember doing it that magic box showed me." He sighed and leaned his head back on the wall, and looked around the room everyone was talking and trying to make sense of everything, his eyes fell on Logic. The girl that he argued with when they first met, he smiled slightly and saw as she tried to get to know the people she had once known.

city_girl_95 · 08-23-2010, 07:31 PM

No it's ok, Laryn nodded, yeah the box, she thought, no one remembers anything on the box, so how do we know it's real, that it's the truth? she said outloud, more to herself than anyone else, I mean the "murderer" didn't seem like a murderer, and the dealer didn't seem like a dealer, nor did this young boy seem like the type to set alight his house, with or without family inside, nothing, just nothing made sense.

Nothing. "oh well, worth a try" Aiden said trying to be at least a bit positive, which was almost impossible. He raised an eyebrow at Seth at his question, but worth a look anyway "uhhhh... I don't think so" he said taking a look behind himself and behind Seth. once again nothing.

Reincarnation Jones · 08-23-2010, 09:10 PM

OOC: I'm really, really sorry everyone, but I'm not going to post your plot drop today. I wanted to have more of the players online at the same time so no one is missing anything and as many people have a chance to respond to it as possible.

In the mean time, so I'm not leaving you high and dry, how about a game?

Everyone, please PM me where you think your characters are. The first person to give the closest answer to the truth will get an extra special smartness reward for their character.

Gryffindorgurl · 08-23-2010, 09:25 PM

Jeffery suddenly remembered something. Jacob S. Philburn... where had he heard that name before? Then it hit him. His favorite book! Jacob S. Philburn was the character from his favorite book. Now what was this book about? Of course! Jacob was murdered by his brother Jasper because of a spat over a woman. He smiled, half relieved and half terrified. He got the pocketknife from, you guessed it, his pocket and examined it more closely. What he had thought was an S was now a very old looking A. Adam. His middle name was Adam. He sighed in relief and calmed down, only to notice the great pain shooting up his arm. He grunted and suddenly the wooden stick popped out of the knife and his cuts were healed. He wasn't as surprised as he was the first time it did that, but it still made his eyes widen just a bit. But what came to him next made him laugh crazily. He wasn't a murderer. He hadn't murdered his own brother! He put a hand to his forehead, still laughing like a mad man. He wasn't crazy, he wasn't dangerous. He wasn't a killer.

Reincarnation Jones · 08-23-2010, 09:27 PM

The device on the pocket knife starts spinning like mad again. If you didn't murder your brother--in fact, you've never had a brother--then why did you confess to murder? Jeez, this is so complicated...

Gryffindorgurl · 08-23-2010, 09:33 PM

Jeffery noticed the... what was it called... sneaker scope? Yes, that was it. The sneaker scope started whirling and spinning again. Why was it doing that? Jeffery had never even had a brother, at least, he thought he didn't. But if Jeffery didn't have a brother, then why did he confess to the murder of him? This was so weird, Jeffery felt sick. He sat against the sink, trying to think this through. Why was this sneaker scope spinning if he hadn't murdered Jacob?

June sensed Sydney's hesitation and made to pull back a bit, her left foot sliding behind her. She knew that everything was new and strange, and that damned temporary illness known as amnesia was having a horrible effect on them all, but if they were sisters it was paramount that they all stick together. However, it seemed like Sydney's ideas differed from Junes and that she didn't want to make an effort, at least right now.

She stuffed her hands into the pockets of her light, cotton dress a bit nervously, for fear of biting her nails from her nerves. Her slight, closed-mouth smile matched Sydney's almost identically as she revealed a bright red apple, a small missing from where someone had nibbled on it previously revealing the now-yellowing body of the fruit. "Sure," June nodded, although it wouldn't be polite, nor hygienic, to take a bite of the apple. Maybe another fridge would pop up soon.
