RPGC: General Discussion

The art contest I mentioned will be moved to november to give our artists a chance to focus on Inktober:

The next Writing Contest will start on Monday 5 October.

inktober 2020

It is Inktober and for those who haven't heard of it yet, here is what it's about: https://inktober.com/rules

Artists who want to join Inktober this year can find the prompts here and you can post your works in this thread, or link to the social media where you upload it.

If you feel inspired by these prompts but don't do inkt, we can have our little unofficial Paintober too (and you can share your works of art as well), but remember that the goal of Inktober is to use inkt.

The insane asylum

I enjoy being one :) I always had joined the writing contests and now I'm the one organising them.

That sounds like a cool job. How did it go?

I'll be replying to rp's this weekend. I've been focussing on writing a Harry Potter fanfic and RP's got pushed to the side a little. I should be able to finish the fanfic today and then go back to roleplaying :)

Nobody Will Believe It [SporkoBug and Calle]

The almost run-in startled Benjamin, but he grinned and folded his fingers around Dia's hand as she grabbed his. "She's fine. Let's get out of here." He followed Dia to the door, feeling a whole lot better now that Ray was well again and he had Dia with him. As they walked out he glanced at the clock and almost cursed.

"I bet they're already serving dinner," he said. "We better hurry. But we need to figure out how we can let you blend in with the rest. It might be suspicious to have an unknown patient."

Marc went to a few games that had a screen and a plastic gun mounted in front of it. He gave Sara a new coin and he inserted one in the machine. "The aim is to kill the monsters that show up," he told her as the game came to life. "Good luck," he added with a wink.

Paranormal Activities [SporkoBug and Calle]

Benjamin turned to Steph when he heard her words and had a smile for her before he opened the door and stepped inside. As he had expected, the room was the same as his and the one Steph had before.
A new start. Hopefully Steph would be more at ease now she had her new room; she needed a place where she could rest after an emotional day like today. Maybe he could buy a small gift for her.

Stuart wrote down the characteristics as he examined Rose's body with a professional eye. Once he had written down what he needed to and took some obligatory pictures, he told Rose she could get dressed again.
"The agency can tailor some new uniforms for you," he informed her. "Please keep me informed about any changes you noticed: dietary, sleep pattern, habits. You are free to go and if I have additional questions I will know where to find you."

"That's not important right now," Alex said. "Let's focus on building this fence. You got quite a terrain that will need to be closed off." He nodded to the talking spider and continued with his work.

Zombies! (Lyly & Calle - Dutch RP)

"Ach ja, ik heb goed opgelet op de dokterschool," merkte Andy vrolijk op als antwoord op Mae's opmerking dat het knap was dat hij wist hoe hij de zombie had kunnen uitschakelen. Haar bedankje nam hij met een glimlach in ontvangst en hij haalde zijn schouders lichtjes op toen ze opmerkte dat ze niet had verwacht dat hij voor haar de held zou uithangen.

Hij volgde Mae naar de deuropening en keek eerst naar haar toen ze verbleekte, daarna langs haar naar buiten. Andy vloekte zacht en opende de auto met het knopje op zijn sleutel. "Dan gaan we. In de auto zijn we sneller en we rijden naar het volgende tankstation. Hopelijk hebben we daar meer geluk, want hier heb ik geen benzine gevonden." Het volgende tankstation konden ze nog wel halen, dat erna ook. Dan zouden ze echt in de problemen komen.

Samen met Mae ging hij naar de auto en hij keek naar de zombies. Die zouden de achtervolging vast wel opgeven als ze uit het zicht waren, maar dat wilde niet zeggen dat ze geen nieuwe zombies konden tegenkomen.

Snel ging hij de auto in en hij wachtte tot Mae ook zat, zonder haar zou hij niet wegrijden. Maar hij stak wel al de sleutel in het contact zodat ze meteen konden wegrijden.

"Wat voor lekkers heb jij trouwens als voorraad?" vroeg hij. "Ik heb aardig wat gevonden in de keuken van het ziekenhuis, de kleine keukens van afdelingen, en in de snoepautomaten zat ook nog het een en ander."

A Trainers Ambition [SporkoBug and Calle]

"Okay, fine," Penalopy replied. "The problem won't go away because no-one wants to brings it up though~" she added cheerfully. "I'll see you outside again!"
She floated to James and together they went outside.

Michael greeted Mindy when she joined them, and sat in silence because Mindy sat down next to Niccia to talk with her. It was good to see them get along; Mindy was a friend after all. He picked up his Cyndaquil, who seemed really nervous about it all and tickled him a bit.
"Will you be in your true form during StarFall?" he asked Frosiien, not paying much attention to the girls next to him.

"I'm going to get breakfast first and then..." she moved a little closer to Niccia. "Change into the dress I bought for this occasion," she whispered. "Then I'll be ready for today. Maybe we can both go to our rooms after I ate and let the boys wait outside for us."

RPGC: General Discussion

To give a sneak preview of what is to come in the last months of 2020:

In October there will be a new RPGC writing contest and even though the last art contest didn't go very well, I'm going to host a new one. Maybe this one will go better.

In November there will be no contest on the site as it is NaNoWriMo.

At the beginning of December there will be a microfiction and poetry contest again, keeping the rest of December free for the holidays.

And we'll start the new year big with both an RPGC and an Art contest.

So keep an eye on the sidebar and the Writing Contest and Gallery subforums :)

Zombies! (Lyly & Calle - Dutch RP)

Tegen beter weten in probeerde Andy toch even alle benzinepompen, maar dit was hopeloos. Misschien hadden ze bij het volgende tankstation meer geluk. In de stilte die heerste viel het geluid van vallende spullen op en Andy draaide zich met een ruk om naar de winkel.

"Mae?" riep hij terwijl hij ernaartoe ging. "Alles goed daarbinnen?" Had ze zich bezeerd? Hij keek door de deur naarbinnen en zijn ogen moesten even wennen aan het weinige licht in de winkel. En toen zag hij de zombie.

Zijn geluk was dat als een zombie eenmaal een slachtoffer had, dat ze daar meestal op gefixeerd bleven. Hij sloop behoedzaam op de twee af, af en toe omkijkend om te zien of er niet nog een zombie tevoorschijn kwam, en haalde een zakmes uit zijn achterzak. Terwijl hij het mes openklapte stapte hij op de zombie af. Nu kwam zijn medische kennis goed van pas. Na een moment van mikken stak hij het mes tussen twee ruggenwervels en sneed.

De zombie liet een schreeuw horen, eerder van woede dan van pijn en wilde zich omdraaien, maar door de schep ging dat niet. Terwijl Andy achteruit ging zakte ze zombie door haar benen.

Dit zou hem nooit gelukt zijn in een aanval; een mes als deze kon een zombie niet ver genoeg van hem weghouden. Maar met de aandacht op Mae had hij haar wel kunnen uitschakelen. "Zombie of niet," zei Andy, "ze hebben nog steeds het centrale zenuwstelsel nodig voor hun motoriek. Maar dat was knap hoe je die zombie op afstand kon houden."

Nobody Will Believe It [SporkoBug and Calle]

The doctor gave a curt nod and turned to his work again.

"Right," Benjamin said. "Ray, you stay in bed and when the doctor notices you are fine again he will discharge you. Come look for us when you are free again." He glanced over his shoulder. "Ari will stay with you, Dia can't. She's not a spirit at the moment and they will notice she is here." He placed his hand on her arm and showed a friendly smile. "Take care, we'll see you two soon."

He stepped back, looked around for nurses and went to find Dia so they could quickly leave before the medical staff would ask annoying questions.

"You did great," Marc said as he took his tickets too. He was glad Sara seemed to be enjoying herself here. It was good to remember. Maybe next time they could go bowling or something.
"Would you care for another game?" he asked as he looked around. "A shooter perhaps? I'd challenge you to dance battle, but I really suck at that game." He laughed a bit as he rubbed the back of his neck. "You'd beat me within a minute."
