[OOC] The Otherworlds Stories: The Gemini Trials (T3)

[Infamous Empath]

This is the OOC thread for TOS: TGT. For short, we'll call it T3, since 1) there are 3 T's in it, 2) it's the third story of the Otherworlds Stories, and 3) we cant call it TOS cuz there is TOS: Malevora and TOS: A Remnant, and TOS: Nothing New Under the Sun, and 4) we can't call it TGT because I may change the title from The Gemini Trials, it's only a working title. This whole game will be in pre-production for the next five years.

So if you want to join but havent seen the Check, here it is: roleplayerguild.com/topics/160881-the-..

I could make it a hyperlink but I'm lazy.

You need to talk to me before jumping into the IC portion. I will be assigning you characters, unlike D&D and other tabletop RPGs where you make your own. There is a reason for this. You wont know the reason until the end so dont bother trying to figure it out. In fact, dont try to figure out anything. This is experimental and I'm only 20% sure it's a good idea, but 100% sure it's a good story.

Got your notebook and dice? Good. Let's begin...

Oh, below I have put an example post of mine; it's just the OP for the IC thread. So if there are any questions, please ask them here, not in the IC thread.

You (@OliviaV) slowly wake up on your back in an unfamiliar, alien environment. By that I mean, you don't ever recall seeing this field before. In fact, you don't remember how you left the last place you were, when you went to sleep...whenever that was. You gradually come to, seeing the bright blue sky, not a cloud in sight, and feeling the moist lush grass beneath your hands. As you look around, attempting to keep calm and not freak out, you realize there is another individual lying in the field, a few meters away. But before you can take in his alien appearance, your hear an ever-so-light whisper. In fact, it's such a small voice, you ignore it at first. But then it becomes impossible to ignore as the voice begins screaming inside your head.

"Get out of my mind!" the personality shouts at you.

Sitting there in the grass, you realize you are possessing someone. You look down to investigate your body, but you can't make out heads or tails of it. Like the other person, this body seems to be of an unknown origin. The flesh has a light glow to it, and the skin cells seem to be much larger, almost like scales. After closer inspection you realize that it is the cells that are emitting the evanescence. Your skin seems pale, but it's difficult to discern the actual color due to the light. You gaze down at your hands; there doesn't seem to be anything amiss about them, aside from the skin. In fact, is this even skin?

You take a deep breath, and notice that breathing seems to be a lot easier in this environment. You might also notice some other things, if your perception is high enough...

You may choose to do anything, @OliviaV. However, before you do anything, roll a d20 for a perception check. If you do not have one, there are several options, including virtual dice on apps and this site (I think).

The voice your head, rather the original occupant, does not want you to be here, and suggests that you immediately vacant their body and mind. Since you do not know how to do that, and the other personality quickly figures this out, they suggest you remain calm, and investigate Anani, who you can easily determine - by the fact that nobody else is here - must be the other person, who seems to be unconscious.

However, if you wish to flee the area, or do nothing, or even something completely random, you may do that as well. No matter what you choose to do after you roll a perception check, you make the decision and allow me to describe the outcome.
