This is a spiritual and philosophical adventure roleplay set in a colorful world, spearheaded by audacious children. The basic premise is that something strange has happened in Edgemont. The sleepy rural town has suddenly become the subject of time and physics defying anomalies. They began to appear right around the final day of school for all the children, who have been vigorously exploiting the abnormalities for their own amusement ever since.

The children of Edgemont have been breaking glass and other small objects only to see the things instantly reassemble. They have disappeared into thin air and reappeared at a different location in the blink of an eye. Certain animals around the town have begun to talk. The children have jumped off of roofs and other high places without sustaining any form of injury, stopping mid-air just before impact. And ‘time-bubbles’ have shown them what anything inside them behave like in slow motion.

The anomalies were inexplicable. They caught the attention of the government a week later, which dispatched all kinds of personnel to quarantine the town: nobody is allowed to enter or leave. The citizens of the sleepy town have been prisoners for a week. This is why the neighbor children of Baker Street are about to take matters into their own hands by sneaking out of Edgemont in order to find answers beyond its borders.

Day 1 — Anomalies appear, final day of school.
Day 7 — Government appears.
Day 14 — Present time.

This idea is inspired by the Beyond short film in the Animatrix. If you have not seen it, I recommend that you do, but it is not required in order to join this roleplay. The idea would be for you to portray a child of Baker Street, and together they experience a long journey through the countryside in order to avoid the authorities and the quarantine. They believe that they can find answers to why the anomalies are happening, and why they are have become prisoners in their own town, with the Mayor’s Office in the big city. However, wherever they go, the anomalies follow, as if the children are infected or… the anomalies have a mind of their own.

Intriguing premise. What age would our characters be exactly?

Lovely interest, indeed.

Character ages would range between 8 and 15. A diverse representation is favorable, so that everyone does not choose the same age. The characters do not necessarily have to be friends before this story. However, they can if you want them to. In any other case, they just live on the same street and they know about one another.

As for size of the cast, we'd look at something manageable such as 5 or 6 total.

Excellent. That's the best size for a roster IMHO.

When would the RP start? When the kids discover the anomalies, or when they escape the town?

Day 14 according to the tiny timeline, which would be a few days before sneaking out.

All will present itself in the OOC, if there will be one. This roleplay is just an idea at this point.

After much deliberation and philosophizing with myself, I've decided not to pursue this idea. However, the idea is free for anyone to adapt.
