May 12, 2005. It was an ordinary day. You went to school, or work, or secretly plotted world domination... well, whatever it is you normally do, you did it. Nothing seemed unusual. You went to sleep in your own bed, or box, or whatever it is you sleep. Again, nothing seemed out of the ordinary. May 13, 2005. You wake up... ...and you're not where you were when you went to sleep. Instead, you're in a hotel room, and a darned nice one at that. After a bit of searching, you find a suitcase of your belongings in the closet. While that helps you a little, there's still two very important questions. Where are you, and how did you get there? Only you can find out. ***** Since this game is set in modern-day Earth, we ask that all characters actually *come* from modern-day Earth. No time travelers or dimension-hoppers, please. If your character is, say, an alternate version of an existing character who does come from the future, you can shift your timeline back a bit such that said character will exist in the present day. Just don't expect them to have access to all their futurisitc toys. ^_~ ***** Last year, we had six PCs. We've decided that's about the maximum number we can handle. If we get more than six, we will have to choose from among the applicants. Priority will be given to people who are definitely attending ACen. If you're on the fence, please don't let that stop you from submitting a character, but also realize that we will be doing prep work with the characters and thus we *will* need the characters we've chosen. In order to get right to the meat of the game when we're all at ACen, brief intro sessions will be held on IRC in the week or two prior. We will be scheduling you. If you have any questions or comments, please let us know! ~ Ciara and Zegon
