I like roleplays that can take a dark turn immediately; let's look at 9/11, for a quick example. I do hope this isn't offensive to anybody, but

it just started out as a normal weekday. People were going to work, on buses to school, etc. And then imagine this plane flying out of nowhere, crashing into one of the twin towers. Crash. Burn. Loud screams, that may not have been able to be heard from below.

And then another one.

And then, to top it all off, both of the towers fell. Destroyed. Dust. Mass death. People's hopes and dreams, right then and there; crushed.

See, [i]that's[/i] the type of shit I like. I'm pretty good at writing it too.

So deathly serious, or mundane for me.
