Nobody Will Believe It [SporkoBug and Calle]

"Josh knows you and seems to listen to you," Benjamin said. "I better get to the mess before the staff gets angry with me, but you should look for Josh." He didn't like the idea of her going to Josh alone - he didn't like the man at all - but it was probably the best thing to do. "In a room where we have both staff and patients I think it would be suspicious to pose as either, so maybe lay low for now and I'll smuggle some food out in case you do get hungry."

The doctor came into the room Ray was lying and briefly glanced at the screens before turning his attention to Ray. "It's good to see you awake. I'd like to keep you here overnight, just to make sure everything is okay. I ordered a meal for you and a nurse will bring it soon." He took his stethoscope to listen to her heart and lungs. "How do you feel?" he asked her.

Marc did reasoanbly well with the game, he missed a few, but got a 84% score at the end. "Yes..." he muttered as he took his tickets. "Believe it or not, but this is a personal best," he said to Sara with a wink.
He looked at his tickets and the ones Sara had. It was probably enough for a small plush. "Do you want to play another game, or shall we look at what we can get with this and get something to eat?" he asked her.

The insane asylum

"A friend? That is good." The psychiatrist smiled broadly as she said that. "I understand being here is not easy for you, but we will do everything we can to make it better for you." she turned her attention to the screen. "Do you feel your current medication is doing enough for you? The staff noted some concerns about them being not effective, but I want to know how you feel about it. Do they help you function properly, do you have any side-effects?"

Paranormal Activities [SporkoBug and Calle]

Benjamin watched as Steph examined herself in the mirror, seeming preoccupied with it. He opened his mouth to say something when she removed her shirt, but at the sight of the healed wounds and scars on her back, the words got stuck in his throat.
He cleared his throat. "Steph, do you need help with anything?" he asked her.

"Listen," Stuart said. "Your rights are protected under Article 12. If you feel your boss isn't doing enough to uphold that, you can always contact the department for non-human agents and liaisons rights. I will send an e-mail with their number if you don't have it. They guard over the rights of non-human creatures that work with us or for us and are the experts on the articles about, including article 12. I will e-mail it to your recently changed colleague too." He paused to see if there were more things to discuss, but for now this would be enough.

"I will work on my report and I wish you the best of luck," Stuart said.

RPGC #29 – The Village

RPGC #29 – The Village

It is October, a month in the northern hemisphere linked to autumn, in which the leaves change colour, temperatures drop, and chilly wind and rain become more prevalent. It is also known for Halloween, even in countries that do not celebrate it.

The theme in our Discord this month is Spooktober, and RPGC will stick to that theme. Also, trying something new with this contest and I gave it a roleplaying-feel to it. So now I will present to you the prompt:

In the forest is a small, abandoned village; the old wooden houses and church could have a lovely rustic atmosphere, but in the darkness of the night, as the wind howls and tugs on loose exterior shutters and the rain pours down, the empty village feels sinister.

The roofs of most buildings seem to be in decent condition, so shelter from the rain can be found here, but there are rumours…

Take that house to the right; it is said a woman was murdered there and her spirits still resides inside.

Or the church, of which the doors have fallen from the hinges. It should be a holy place, but the last priest went mad and when the wind blows through the cracks it sounds like unholy laughter…

And the house on the left, wasn’t that the house where the rumoured cannibal lived?

A bone-chilling howl sounds from somewhere inside the forest. Wolf? Or something worse? It’s raining so you can’t see the moon, but you know that the clouds hide a full moon tonight.

What do you do? Do you leave this eerie village and try to find a cabin further in the woods, or do you take your chances with one of the three buildings?

@Stormflyx You're doing great :)

A Trainers Ambition [SporkoBug and Calle]

"Okay, time for breakfast!" Mindy said and she got up to buy a sandwich and some coffee.

Michael nodded; it was a nice thought the legendaries would be in their human form for Niccia. That meant they still cared about her. He watched Mindy leave to get some breakfast; being the first one up he had had an early breakfast. He didn't mind he had to wait for everyone though.

Andy stood outside, looking at the humans who were already up and going to school or work. How many legendary Pokémon walked among them? And where had Dialla gone?
"Yo, Merlin," he said.
A sound came from the roof and Andy looked up. "Did you sleep enough?"
Merlin nodded and Benny flew up to join him and told him what had happened in the center.
"Of course he threatened a Legendary Pokémon," Merlin sighed. "We better keep an eye on him then."

Penalopy turned to Rorsh. "I can't make myself visible here," she said, "let's go to the back of the Pokémon Center and I can talk properly with you.
James led the way when he heard where Penalopy wanted to go.

RPGC: General Discussion

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

https://www.roleplayerguild.com/topics/183754-inktober-2020/ooc

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 :)

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.
