With a violent fireball, the Earth ends. Then, you wake up yesterday... again.
This is a four-to-five person roleplay. The goal is to figure out what's making time loop, why only a few of you can remember why time is looping, what causes the apocalypse, and how to stop any of the above.
Mechanics:
Every twenty posts (that is, at the start of every page), the Earth blows up, time resets, and it's yesterday again.
- No cramming several posts into one giant mega-post.
- You will die many times.
- So will everyone else.
I plan for the worldbuilding to be pretty collaborative, so if you think there ought to be, for instance, a bait-and-tackle place named Bubba's, then there's a bait-and-tackle place named Bubba's.
And, seriously, don't hesitate to ask questions in the OOC.
Setting:
It is modern day United States.
You live in the small town (pop. ~10,000) of Seneca Glen in New York State. The town is built around a single Main Street. There are few side streets with houses, an elementary school, a police/fire/mayor's office, and whatever other buildings you might expect to see in a small town. The main employers are: Simmons Lab - a federal arboreal research laboratory; Melakron Plastics - a manufacturing plant for medical devices; and Hayt General store, a moderately-sized department store that sells everything: guns, gas, cheetos and t-shirts. Aside from that, Seneca Glen is close to Seneca Lake, a popular tourist destination. Seneca Lake is well known for its many wineries as well as hiking and water sports.
If you'd like inspiration, I recommend looking at Corning, NY or Watkins Glen, NY. Alternatively, you can poke around any of the many other small towns near Seneca Lake to get a feel for it.
Please note that this is a small town, so likely everyone knows everyone else. Definitely everyone knows someone whose brother knows everyone else.
Rules:
0. Site rules apply.
1. Don't break the game.
-Aside from general roleplay etiquette (don't godmod, no Mary Sues, etc), please let people know if you need a break, decided to leave, or real life is rearing its ugly head.
-If you have an issue with another player, please take it up in PM's, not the OOC.
2. I have final say if anything weird happens that isn't covered by rules 0 and 1.
