Hallows' Eve (Event)

[VarionusNW]

Zmer, so you apparently want to share 3 then? BTW it has to follow one of the four horsemen of the apocalypse as a theme.

Also, here is a good idea of what should happen in order, as I believe these are happening one after another in the same world:

week 1: Famine (Black horse)
food shortages, massive deaths of livestock. Panic and shit.
Week 2: Pestilence (White horse)
This is the only rider with 3 different possible interpretations (evil, righteousness, and pestilence) Obviously, I would think disease would run rampant, causing more chaos. I don't feel zombies would be right for this, so try thinking of other options for this pleaaaase (or just hand it over to me)
Week 3: War (red horse)
this is where shit truly hits the fan, right? maybe nuclear war and shtuff.
week 4: DEATH (pale horse)
finale?

I dont know who has what, and what I wanted to take was stolen right from under me, so just tell me whats left.

Oh, heres the page I used to gather some info: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Four_Horsemen_of_the_Apocalypse[/url

Sorry czech I forgot you reserved it. I will do war then because I think this will work as the first week when War releases the evils into the world.

Alright thanks gurren. As for what VarionusNW said, I think zombies is a pretty good fitting for pestilence. Obviously not the rising from the grave type of zombies but more like the zombies that spread like a disease and are not supernatural. Kinda like world war Z. Or we could do something like contagion where it's a world wide violent plague. But seeing as I am running the pestilence week, I would prefer zombies. But we will take a vote, as it is not entirely my decision.

[Gurren1]

I don't know if I like the whole world pandemic. I was hoping to keep it pretty local and not a worldwide event.

[czechmate46]

Well the story doesn't have to concern the rest of the world, like say since its apocalyptic, things like Internet and television and radio are unavailable so we're unable to know how the rest of the world is doing. therefore, the RP doesn't involve th rest of the world, even if they are experiencing the same thing.

Lol Gurren said not to do 1,2, or 4 so I picked 3. I came up with the idea of the puppet thing before I read the part about the four horsemen lol so I had to justify it xD but it's looking like I have no choice. If I plan to lead an RP, I'm going to have to share, unless, by chance, there are five weeks in October.

[Zmerr]

lol I just failed at quoting xD

I agree with Czech that zombies should be the focus of pestilence, since it would make a perfect disease for the scenario, so that's where I'm throwing m vote.. That being said it could also work for death (The rising from the grave kind) if the contagion idea wins out.

I have a suggestion for the Death finale.The reason why I brought up the different characters for each scenario was mainly because I thought the idea would work better that way, but with a few tweaks I think it could work. The idea is that basically after the Famine scenario(that is if we're doing he horsemen in the order they emerged from the seal if not than whatever the one was before death.) the characters discover that they A) all died at the end of the previous scenario or B) Find out they've been dead the whole time and that maybe the previous scenario's were a test from the horsemen to prove humanity's worth or something. After figuring this out the last scenario is them escaping Hell/or the Underworld perhaps while being chased by demons, deceased souls, or Death himself.

I also have a small suggestion for famine as well, Maybe an unnatural massive swarm of locust? They are usual the personification of famine after all.

These are just suggestions. I'll tough out through whatever we end up doing.. We've got a bit of time to work this out after all.

[Zmerr]

As for pestilence, I have to throw my vote away from zombies. There are thousands of possibilities. If we make it modern times, we could say that the Ebola virus has made it's way over seas untamed. Or we could make a disease that has similar properties or totally different ones. I say let's be more original for this one. Don't get me wrong, I love zombie apocalypse stuff, but it seems like every story or RP with pestilence is about zombies.

I think this is a fantastic idea. How else will so many of the same people survive the end of the world? Kind of the Lost effect. I like it.

So from what im catching, the stuff that isn't taken is: Famine, Death?, and Random Minion A. I honestly would like to do famine. I imagine that food seems to spoil way too fast, mold and other food born bacteria begin to grow more efficiently, crops are swarmed by locusts, and people become irrationally hungry. I don't know if crazy cannibals would be good, but it might be fun and creepy enough. I do like dark, dire situations like that, so I think I could work with it.

I am obviously on the Anti-zombie bandwagon, because I am tired of zombies, they aren't that scary, I mean, we already have cannibals, AKA, intelligent zombies, so why not go for something like this:
A weaponized virus is created, but it is let loose in [Insert town name here]. The virus spreads in a gaseous form at first, but then it begins to infect through contact, and you can't tell who is infected. This leads to mass panic in the city, people wearing haz-mat suits, while people loot stores for supplies.

I'll do famine.

--to add to my Ebola-like virus. Dude that would be cool! also, people who can't afford hazmat suits kill each other (to kill off someof the uninfected) and make the government know about the cure. like, there IS a cure but the government is hiding it. One of the characters should be a doctor on the run because he stole the medicine or something like that.

[Gurren1]

I like all of this input guys and now its my turn.

So I am still on the fence on who all of these will be connect in the end are they going to take place in the same city but wouldn't that make them used to all of this chaos and such.

[czechmate46]

I'm not really digging the Ebola like virus thing :/ if we don't do zombies for pestilence, I definitely like Drakeonis' idea for death having zombies, that would be pretty cool as well. So if we don't do zombies for pestilence, I would like the virus to be something that turns its victims into something totally unrecognizable. For example maybe their skin turns a different color or they have odd growths on their bodies,etc. i also kinda like the idea of the virus being a flesh eating disease that kills the patient slowly. the hospitals are packed full and things like stores and offices are raided for food and supplies. There is no known cure (that doesn't mean the gov doesn't know anything) and its an airborn virus. Restaurants are pretty much done for and finding food that isnt contaminated is a chore. Those who are out and about need to wear masks. That's my idea.

[Gurren1]

I agree with czech I don't really like the Ebola idea I want something truly terrible like a virus that turns people into an abomination and they work as the horsemen's main force.

[czechmate46]

Oooo I like that idea gurren. Like the virus doesn't kill the patients, it turns them into horrible creatures that live for the sole reason to infect others.

[Drakeonis]

Like mutants? Cuz that would be awesome

On the connection thing, going back back to my Death idea as the horsemen's test. We could have the characters wake up after each one thinking the previous one was a just a dream.

That's the best idea I've heard regarding how to go about the connection.

[Drakeonis]

It could also just be the worst month in the history of ever XD Though if we ended with death as zombies we could have the others connect to it by them being the cause of why their are so many dead people. Though I think the dream thing works better.
