What if I told you, that this world we live in, was dark? Gritty? Without hope. Would you believe me? If I were to tell you that hell lived all around you and that devils coursed through your veins. What if I were to present to you all of human brutality. Would that be valid proof? Or that humanity has only had a little over 300 years of peace in more than 2,000 years of history. If I were to show you a world, dark, cruel and sinister, would you come out of the wood work to play?
"Yet. What if I were to tell you, there there are monsters we must fear other than humans, then what would you say to me? Would you call me crazy? Would you hand me to an Asylum? Today, I will tell you my story. So please.....PLEASE! Watch this video...please....."
The Detectives look upon each other. One shakes his head. "Go ahead Jake..."
[The Memory Slate is inserted into the hologram projector, options come up on the HUD, silence rises over everyone as the video begins. ]
A Group of students are running towards a train. "All passengers, please report to the Train headed for the City of Durkheim. All passengers we shall be departing momentarily. People are running with their backpacks, nearly swaying like penguins from one side to another as they run through crowds bumping into people.
"Hey! Watch where y'all are going! What are you crazy! Watch it pal!" The Camera man makes apologizes as he is running after the group. As the camera focus's upon the group, you realize they are all from the same school, wearing the same uniform. "We are gonna be late! Come on!" One of the kids in the front yells as they turn a corner to see the train. "There she is! Board it!" The kid jumps through the door, and as he makes it, the door begins to close behind him, separating him from the others. "Oh no you don't!" He braces himself as he places his fingers between the closing door, and a low growl is heard as the steel metal doors are pried open. "Hop on! Come on!"
The rest of the group hops on, followed by the cameraman. "Damn! That was close~! Hey~hey! Jake! Did you get me on the cam?" Jake, the Camera guy laughed. "Yea you were like a hero Kevin..." Kevin brushes his golden hair as he looks into the camera, his turquoise eyes gleaming. "Ladies! You shall be seeing more of this bada-"
[A Girl appears, she has dark red hair, and an angry expression.]
"One is not enough? Kevin what do you have to say for your self! And Jake! I am-" She takes a deep breath, as her eyes begin to tear up. "SO! Ashamed of you! You are always like this!" She breaks into a sob, catching Kevin off guard.
[In the meantime the group is being taken to a cabin within the train by the conductor of the train]
"Turn it off kid!" Another voice chimes in. The Camera finely turns off.
[The Detectives in the room turn to look at Jake.]
"Can you tell us...what happened? What it felt like? The journey on the train?"
Jake shook his head, not looking at anyone. He was looking at the floor.....
"As we sat down, listening.....to the events that happen..."
[In Jakes eyes, a different story played out. The beginning of the events that would change him for ever.....]
He began to concentrate on the silence within the train, he begin to hear the hushed voices of the other passengers.
"Oh my? Are they going to Dukenhall City Academy? Those poor souls....Did you hear about the disappearances? I-I thought those were myths? I am sure everything has a reason, the Dean did announce that some students simply just snuck out to party, and should be back soon."
The many voices and response that surrounded him places a bit of doubt into Jake, others shuffle in there seats, while some take out their head phones. This isn't your problem, and it never shall be. Just legends and myths. As everyone tries to ignore what they have heard, a last response casts a chill into your spine.
"They say that...that they roam the city streets at night...Do you mean the-" A train attendant slams that door shut. "Sorry, don't mind them. They are just being foolish! Anything I can get you all?"
Even her face spells it....the City...Was it really a good choice? Eh?? Screw it. Your on the train now, might as well enjoy it..
(Hey! How is it going? I am new around here, I come from another place. Far. Far away....
Anywho~! I am not really sure on how to use italics and what not.... Not sure if I can use them or not. But time will tell I guess...
So! Would you all enjoy an RP based upon such a world? One of mystery and monster hunting? If so! Go on! Break a leg, or something!
