Welcome! Welcome Avi! What the fuck is up, guys. * Avi "raises the roof", etc. You are. Well, before we begin, we have a few questions for you. Shoot. What is your name? Avi. Spiros. What is your quest? What? What the fuck does that mean? What is your quest? If you're askin' what I want, you've got a weird way of doin' it. I wanna be a big shot actor, see. Go on. I'm a stunt actor now, right, so I don't get much face time. That's aaall gonna change soon, though. I'm gonna get my break, and then it's easy street all l the way to the three C's: chicks, cars, and cash. What is your favorite color? 's purple. You got a problem with that? Me? Hardly. So are you ready? Yeah, whatever. Here we go, then. [May 13, 2005.] [When you went to bed last night, everything was normal. Familiar. Now, for whatever reason, you've woken up, and while the room is dark, you get the distinct impression that something's wrong.] [ACenGame 2, Intro Session 1 Start!] * Avi sits up, stretching, and rubs his face. "Sheezuz. Whadda hell..." He blinks, then peers around the room. [It's dark. You might be eaten by a grue. Well, probably not. But it's dark, at least.] [Mmm, darkness sure is tasty] * Avi rolls out of bed, scratching, and moves into his bathroom. [You know, it's funny... but the bathroom isn't there. Instead, you bump into a wall.] * Avi smushes his nose. "Ow! Fuck! What? Fuck! [The wall does not answer.] * Avi gropes for a fucking lightswitch. [Avi finds a fucking lightswitch on the wall. And lo, there is light. You are definitely not where you were when you went to sleep. (more)] [The room is purple. The room is very purple. The wallpaper is purple. The bedspread is purple. Hell, the bedframe is purple. There are purple chairs and a purple table and a television on a purple stand. And purple curtains covering what you'd assume are large picture windows.] [There is a purple door leading to what is probably the bathroom.] [In short, you are in a very purple hotel room.] ... what the fuck? Steve and Dan from props musta gotten me wasted again, though it'd be funny. Fuckers. * Avi opens the bathroom door. [Thankfully, the bathroom is white. Toilet, tub with shower, sink, mirror. The towels are purple, but whatever lunatic decorated the main room seems to have been mostly shut out here.] * Avi does the shower thing. Gotta get primed for the day. He gets back out into the main room, wrapped in a purple towel, and looks around again. "Fuckin' idiots. Wonder if I've got clothes." * Avi starts looking around. [There's a purple dresser.] [Also, now that you've looked around a bit, there's a familiar suitcase sitting next to it.] Hey, what the fuck do you know. Knuckleheads are good for something. * Avi flops the suitcase on the bed and opens it. [Your clothes are in there! And miscellaneous toiletries, etc. Like you'd packed to spend a night or two somewhere.] * Avi throws on some clothes, but leaves the suitcase on the bed while he heads back to the bathroom to slick back his hair. Finally, he slips on a pair of shades and heads to the hotel room door. I'm gonna fuckin' kill those idiots. Then I'm comin' back for my suitcase. [The door is purple. By now, this should not be a surprise. What might be a surprise is that there's no labeling on it whatsoever. No fire plans, no room rates, nothing. No peephole, either.] * Avi eyes the door with a weird eye. "Man, they better not have screwed up a hotel set or Mike'll be fucking pissed." He opens the door. [Yep, it's a hotel corridor. You look across and see yourself. The opposite wall is mirrored from the waist up. From the waist down, it's purple.] [The carpet is a particularly LOUD shade of purple. But it's nice and plush. Very plush.] [If you look up, you'll notice that the ceiling is also mirrored.] [The whole place is lit with a faint, ambient, and yes, slightly purple light.] [Your room number is 202, posted on the door with large gold letters.] (Take it away!) (Oh, and give me a hearing roll in #besm.) (No.) * Avi looks around. "Christ, they put some work into this." [As you stick your head out into the corridor, you *think* you might have heard a bell. Like the kind you'd hear on a church. But you really aren't sure.] * Avi heads, randomly, to the left. [You head left. On your right are more mirrors, on your left more doors. Do you look at the doors?] (> LOOK AT DOORS) * Avi looks at the doors! [The doors are purple. Gosh, how surprising! But, just in case you didn't think you'd somehow made it into the Twilight Zone, they've all got the same number: 202.] * Avi pauses in front of one. "Jesus. They put some real fuckin time into this. Bet there's like three pictures didn't make it into post- prod this month cause of it." He opens one of the doors. [It's locked.] Yeah, figures. * Avi keeps walking. [You come to a wall at the end of the corridor.] * Avi looks around at the doors here, then turns around and heads back the other way. (Give me a sight roll and a hearing roll.) (In #besm.) (Made the sight, failed the hearing.) (Howmuch?) (Dead on and by 2.) [Back down the corridor, you see a faint, shimmering light.] [Also, you think you hear voices. Maaaybe.] * Avi peers. Steve? Dan? * Avi walks that way a little quicker. [There's no answer.] [The light continues to be just ahead of you.] * Avi starts trotting. "You guys fuckin' went too far usin' the SFX budget." [You run for a bit, and you come to a set of double doors. Yep, they're purple. They have round, mirrored windows in them.] ... man, did they find the old The Shining set and go wild with paint, or what? Damn. * Avi pushes through the doors. [Inside you find...] [...something that will be revealed in six days' time.] [What happens next? You'll find out at ACen!] [Intro End!]
