The Harlow Brothers Carnival is a giant attraction on the outskirts of town. A large carnival filled with fun and wonder for kids and adults of all ages. One of the biggest crowd-pullers is the variety of animatronic creatures. Specifically seven of them. Day in and day out, people come to enjoy their day with all the rides and attractions. These robotic entities parade around, playfully interacting with kids in accordance with their advanced AI. Not that it has ever been needed, but there is a kill-switch, which shuts them all done with a single press in the main maintenance room.
One day, after closing, employees of the circus found that some of them had began to start malfunctioning. Their speech program appeared to be out of whack, talking out of tune and in gibberish. Some were seen making sudden jerky movements. One employee even swears that one stopped mid task and turned to look at him, and failed to respond to any input. The head maintenance man hit the button, decommissioning them all. A small troupe of five mechanics were called in to fix them up over night, and have them ready for the next day.
Upon setting foot in the circus, they instantly knew something wasn't right. The mechanical figures were not where they were supposed to be. A strangle crackling could be heard over the intercom, followed by a metallic slamming. The gates were slammed close, and electricity coursed through the metal fencing around the circus, an extra security element installed earlier that week. The five mechanics soon found themselves locked in a nightmarish hell-hole with seven animatronics running around. As they turned to try and find a way out, one of the mechanics was grabbed by one biggest of the mechanical structures, and torn limb from limb in front of the other four. In a rush of fear, they ran away, hoping to find some way to get through the night.
So here you are...four mechanics against seven metallic constructs who want you dead. You can either try to find out why and stop it, or survive.
I will be controlling each of the robots, and I am looking for four people to play the mechanics.
I don't need much in the way of a character sheet. Here is what I do need.
Name:
Age:
Gender:
Appearance:
Personality:
And here are the seven demonic robots you will be encountering:
Used to be the main attraction in the space-themed ride 'Robot Rumble.' Would pretend to be shooting the customers.
Used to be the mascot for the 'House of Relaxation.' Normally on rest mode for the day unless enough kids interacted.
Used to be the assistant robot in the 'Build-a-Friend' attraction, where children could play with what is essentially large lego. Known for hoarding spare parts as to not hurt the children.
used to be the meet-and-greet droid at the entrance. Was programmed to speak to the adults in a more adult manner than the children.
Used to pretend to make food and interacts with people around the eateries.
Used to operate around the art-wing, and would praise children for their work and tell them that they should be happy with all their creations.
Used to hide in the horror-maze attraction, playfully running around and scaring people. Would use a husky low voice and laugh and snicker as it stalked. Would give warning like 'I just want to leave' and 'Why do you get to leave but not me?'
