 ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ |   ▔▔ |  -- Hey magpies! Or should I say meteorites? 5 years have passed since I’ve seen all of your wonderful faces. I’m sure most of you will delete this email after reading the first sentence, but for those of you who have stayed, I’d like to propose a reunion. Our quaint little town is knocking down the high school we called home all those years ago, and what better way to close out that chapter in our lives than a meetup with yours truly. Please RSVP by google form, it’ll be BYOB unless we hit P.J’s. Make sure to bring a smile that shines brighter than a meteor! A group of high school alumni gather for their five year reunion in the modest town of Delton, Maine, blissfully unaware of just how significant the proceeding events will be. Sure, ten years are where the party’s at, but a low-key night of drinking and light conversation to prove you haven’t hit the wall yet isn’t something to be shrugged at. For those who’ve flown the nest, a brief period away in their hometown to reminisce and reflect surely could be an experience. There’s certainly enough to talk about, even exceeding Delton standards. In 2019, almost two years after the Class of 2017 graduated, a meteorite hit the likeness of Ritman High’s magpie mascot square in the face. It wasn’t world-ending, but the impact necessitated outside help to repair the damage dealt and remove the foreign object. Enter Capital Construction, a relatively fresh-faced construction company making a name across the United States, and a lucrative expansion deal that allowed them to secure their first office in Maine. In the years since, the company continued to grow, and with a deal between the district school board and Capital Construction, the 14 acres on which Ritman High has proudly stood are being razed to the ground for the company to build their main base of operations in Maine. A reconstructed Ritman is to be located between Delton Middle School and the community library; with improved sports facilities and a tech lab. The funding and once-more renewed attention on Delton from the project are going directly back into the town's school infrastructure, furthering the district's higher-than-state-average quality. While Capital Construction didn't become the fastest growing American construction company without accepting whatever attention they could get, the sudden interest of their representatives in Delton brought with them the lingering conspiracy that has been attached to the company since their conception in 2012. Their swift rise to the top of the rankings and frequent involvement in government projects have led to many theories—from absurdist claims of Satanism and child sacrifice to somewhat grounded, albeit paranoid, connections between CEO John Yates and top brass of the US Army. The choice to make their main base Delton of all towns, meteorite or not, has also raised concerns, especially in the place of a beloved school that has quite literally stood the test of time. Catalysed by an impromptu get-together, all of this is going to come to a head in bigger ways than anyone could imagine. ▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔▔ |
Oblivion is a character-driven, linear roleplay centering on a group of people that develop superpowers after a freak event during a highschool reunion, which naturally finds them deep in the middle of a conspiracy as they try and grapple with their new abilities.
