We took the 9 PM bus from Reno to Las Vegas, heading to the famous vacation destination the cheap way. Around midnight, though, the bus broke down and was forced to pull over at a cheap motel. The Bus Company was contacted, but it would be 8 AM the next morning before they could get another bus out here, so they offered to pay for rooms for us in the motel. As soon as we entered our room and closed the door, however, they locked, and shutters closed over the windows. The vents released Laughing Gas into the rooms until we passed out.

We woke up in a some sort of lab, strapped to tables. We could hear the doctors talking about their new "test subjects", when there was a commotion. The doorknob on the room broke and sparks flew from all of the electronic systems on it as someone cut their way in. A woman entered the room, her face deformed and her left arm hanging limp from her shoulder. "I'm escaping," she said, "And I'm freeing you, too." She touched the locks on our straps and the tumblers broke, then she handed each of us a small pink crystal shard. "The crystal can respond to your thoughts, altering the matter around you. Just concentrate. The first time you use it, though, it will grow crystals in your blood, a fine powder, like confectioner's sugar. The more crystal you control, the faster it works, but push it too far, and it will heat up."

"I don't know where they came from, but the scientists here were using them to alter people, trying to make us stronger, faster, and the like. They didn't do that good of a job. They tried to do too much and screwed up my skin and shoulder. I stole a crystal, though and ran. And you folks need to run too, if you want to live. Use the crystals or don't, I don't care, just know that if you get caught, they'll kill you in one of their experiments." With that she ran off, out the door and down the hall, the sound of pursuing private security echoing from the other end of the hall.




Rules for the crystals:
1) Start small. Like she said, you try too much, the crystals heat up instead of just following your instructions. Even she was only able to cut the tumblers in locks and cut electronic circuits/wires, and heating up the crystals inside of you will hurt. Imagine being burned from the inside.
2) The crystals use energy from your body. You might not feel the small stuff, but the bigger things could tire you out, knock you out, or even kill you.
3) They can manipulate things on both the atomic and subatomic levels, but atomic manipulation generally creates radiation of some form, depending on what you are doing. This could be good or bad, depending on what you want to do.
4) As they tie into your brain, your knowledge can be used to guide them on the proper way to do things. This guidance can be conscious or unconscious, but conscious is generally better unless the knowledge is second nature to you.
5) You can ask the crystals inside of you science questions, and they will use your subconscious mind to do experiments and figure it out. One question at a time, and if you have no idea how to figure it out, they won't know either.
6) You can manipulate your body if you want, but if you don't know exactly what you are doing, it will cause problems. The scientists didn't know exactly what they were doing, and it messed her up pretty badly.
7) The crystals are organic, quantum computers/machines constructed of carbohydrates, diamond tubes, and proteins. They can be instructed to create more, you just need something organic to convert.
8) Once there are crystals in your blood, you can sense other crystals and a unique type of energy they give off. You may see it as a pink glow.




My other RPs seem mostly dead from the server issues, and I had a weird dream last night where someone freed my from a locked hotel, gave me a pink crystal, and I used it to free another person. This is basically how the crystals worked in my dream, so I figured I'd create an RP int check around the idea to see if anyone is interested.

In RP, we would be in our normal clothes, but have no equipment, and second later will meet security, so the action will start right away. I would assume our goals would be to escape, then solve the mystery of the crystals, but if the players want to go a different route, that's cool, too.

I hate posting WIPs, but I thought it would be a good idea so you could see that there's still interests in this rp. I'm just having a bit of trouble. I know I want to make a youtuber type character whose working on the channel, sharing short stories as well as acting out clips she's written, and gaming, as a way to promote her writing so she'll have an audience when she finishes her novel. I'm just having trouble figuring out what the character will be like offs screen, and want her to have an interesting background that I'm drawing a blank for. I do know she'll be in Las Vegas for a Con she wants to cover for her channel ^.^;

@jynmi88Offline and online personalities don't really have to be anything alike, but it would make more sense if they were similar, as it would be easier to keep up appearances. If I was writing the character (but I'm not, so feel free to ignore this) I would decide what kind of videos they made on YouTube and base them off of a youtuber that did that. Maybe even combine a few.

I was thinking of making an indie developer, so maybe he could be going to the convention too.

  • Sex: Female
  • Age: 22

Skills:
  • Static Trapeze- Is a trapeze act in which the performer moves around the bar and ropes, performing a wide range of movements including balances, drops, hangs while the bar itself stays generally static.
  • Swinging Trapeze- Is an act performed on a trapeze swinging in a forward - backward motion like the swings many people sit in at parks.
  • Flying Trapeze- Is a trapeze act where a performer, or "flyer," grabs the trapeze bar and jumps off a high platform, or pedestal board, so that gravity creates the swing. The swing's parts are the "force out" (sometimes called the "cast out") at the far end of the first swing, the beat back and the rise (also known as "seven") as the performer swings back above the pedestal board, and then the trick is thrown at the far end of the second swing. The performer often releases the bar and is caught by another performer, the "catcher," who hangs by his or her knees on another trapeze, or sometimes on a cradle, which can be either stationary or also swinging.
  • Contortionist- Do I need to detail?
  • Highwire
  • Gymnast
  • Presiditidigation
  • Speaks English, French, Spanish, Dutch, and Norwegian

Personality: Laura is a friendly young woman but very private with her true feelings, this is due to her childhood spent as a performer in the family business.
A private person she isn’t shy just careful about what she tells people outside of the performers she’s spent her life with forming a family that shared genetics isn’t required to be a member of.

Well traveled she is at ease in new surroundings quickly, not a picky eater either.

She loves to laugh among people she knows

Bio: Born in Thunder Bay Ontario Canada Laura is the 3 daughter out of 4 an the 5th child in birth succession she comes from a large family who have been aerialists and acrobats since the 1500s

Hers was an odd childhood spent training in the family acrobatics school in hope of one day becoming the star or member of a troop. The family school always had at least 15-20 students studying at any given time and it wasn’t all performance and from what Laura discovered was a serious school in other areas. They were forced to learn history but from the point of view of performers, family genealogies, the names of Kings and Queens as well as other nobility and whether they were good or bad patrons. Math came next and it was focused on accounting and engineering skills needed to erect the gear and make sure the performers were safe. Reading and writing may have been last but they were still stressed so that they could read or write contracts.

Her family were made up of people from around the world and most of them still kept their old country languages alive by passing it on to the children most members able to speak at least 3 other than their own

At 9 Laura displayed skills in contortion which got her a summer job touring with the Jacoboni circus with her Uncle and Aunt’s small troop.

At age 11 Laura had developed further skills as a Highwire Walker and secured a job with the Windham & Wilson traveling the sunbelt of the US which meant she was now homeschooled on the move with the troop and other performers acting as teacher and tutors.

!5 years old and she’d finally made the coveted position of named performer of the Flying LaClair’s; they called her Destiny LaClair. It was all so fun that it was hard for her to believe she was being paid.

She was approached by one of the huge Casino’s last year as her troop was finishing up and they offered her huge money to become their next star. So after having so much money thrown at her and a discussion with her family Laura was given the name of an industry trusted lawyer and urged to seek her fortune in Sin City

She's been a bit too busy to make an appearance, but I've got an early shift tomorrow so hopefully I'll be able to put up the fixed up CS.

@jynmi88@RumikoOharaBoth of you are approved. I'd like to get at least one more player before starting, though. Most of my RPs died because I only had 3 players including myself. It's hard to keep the story going with so few players.

True, but sometimes too many people causes problems like when you get held up because of people not responding.
Four seems good though.
