Welcome! Before we begin, we have a few questions for you. I have a few answers for you. With any luck, they may coincide What is your name? You have the character sheet? What is your name? Nathaniel Jurgan. But everyone calls me Nate. What is your quest? I, like, have a quest now? Go on. * Nate shrugs, stands up, and walks out the door. Oh, great, we lose him before things even start. What? You said "go on" * Nate grins. "Kiddin'. Wouldn't do that to ya. Anyhow, what's this all 'bout?" Yeah. You know, go on with your explanations. What is your favorite color? * Nate shrugs and rolls his shoulder. "Why does this sound like some obscure movie title?" But my quest...I guess to scale the biggest rock I can find...to always best myself, y'know? What is your favorite color? Black. * Nate scratches the side of his nose and wonders where these weird questions are coming from. So are you ready? For? This. [Incoming Brackets of Description!] Oh. I thought you meant a burger. Like from Barney's or something. Because I could really go for one now [We have no burgers. Instead, we have a date and the setting of the scene.] [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 3 Start!] * Kaede has joined #acengame [Kaede, go back to Arcana. ;p] * Nate has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) (*thinks ACen is a pointless waste of his valuable time*) (Congrats. You've earned a Make the GM Snerk Award.) * Kaede is now known as Nate (You won number 2) (So where'd we leave you?) (GM brackets of doom) (And Nate wants a burger) (Okay. We'll catch you up.) [We have no burgers. Instead, we have a date and the setting of the scene.] [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 3 Start!] * Nate wakes up and rubs his head. From his wincing, he's probably got a hangover. But somehow he doubts that's what's wrong. He reaches across the bed feeling the sheets, if he's even IN a bed. [You are in bed. The sheets feel a bit odd, though.] * Nate looks down at the sheets as he feels them, examining. ~That's weird...~ [Yeah, they don't feel like yours. The bed seems larger too.] * Nate glances to see just in case someone's in the bed with him. Hey you never know. He might have scored last night. [Sadly, no. Or at least no one's in there right now, and you don't hear anyone else moving around.] [It's very dark, too. You'd think if there were someone else, they'd need some light.] * Nate sighs and keeps rubbing his head. "Guess it was too much to ask for...but...ugh...I didn't think I drank *that much...ow.." * Nate staggers to his feet. [Apparently, you drank *that* much.] [You're now standing! Still dark.] * Nate mutters. "Never. Drinkin'. Again." He says it in the way that anyone who knows him would respond "Yeah, right." mentally. (Or verbally, depending on who it is. :P) * Nate feels around for a wall or something to orient himself. [Yeah, right.] [Anyhow. Yes, you find a wall! And a light switch!] [The light switch is on the wall.] * Nate seems to be coherent enough to find the lightswitch that's NOT floating in midair, on the ceiling, or on the floor. Go him. * Nate flicks said lightswitch. [Let there be light! As you look around, you realize that this is definitely *not* where you went to sleep. (more)] (Of course it's not. Where I sleep is a bed. ) [The room is black. The room is very black. The wallpaper is black. The bedspread is black. The bedframe is black. There are black chairs and a black table and a television on a black stand. And black curtains covering what you'd assume are large picture windows.] [There is a black door leading to what is probably the bathroom.] In short, you are in a very black hotel room.] * Nate goes to the bathroom. Because, y'know, bathroom. [In a nice contrast, the bathroom is white. Toilet, tub with shower, sink, mirror. Black towels, though.] * Nate has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) * RowynAway has joined #acengame [Rowyn. Your phone line sucks.] * RowynAway is now known as Nate (No, that was my computer) [Oh. That sucks too.] (So where'd we leave you?) * RowynAway has joined #acengame (See? THAT was connection) [Are we going to have to nail your feet to the floor?] (No) * Nate has quit IRC (Ping timeout ) [You sure?] (Yes) * RowynAway is now known as Nate (Okay. Where'd we leave you?) (Black room, going to the bathroom) (Okay.) [In a nice contrast, the bathroom is white. Toilet, tub with shower, sink, mirror. Black towels, though.] * Nate checks the mirror to see if anything's different. Also he pockets the free stuff hotels give you. Go figure [You still look like you. And you take a shower cap, soap, little bottles of shampoo, etc.] * Nate huhs in the mirror and fixes his hair. Can never be too careful. "Well this is odd." [Sure is.] [Your hair looks good, by the way.] * Nate huhs and closes the medicine cabinet He then goes to the window and undoes the shades [There actually wasn't a medicine cabinet. ;p All that stuff was on the sink.] (does that then!) [Outside, it's still night. And you see... the desert.] * Nate thinks to himself. ~Night...where could it be night with...desert? What the hell, yeah?~ (Anyhow. Feel free to explore more.) * Nate shrugs and looks around for his stuff. [Your suitcase/backpack/duffel bag/what have you are sitting on the floor by the dresser.] (All PG/Gadgets?) (Yeah.) (All your stuff is in it or around.) * Nate hmms and grabs his board before checking out to the halls. [The door to the corridor, which is also black, didn't have anything on the back of it. No room rates, fire escape plans, not a peephole or anything.] * Nate cracks open the door slightly and peeks out there, just in case. (Description time!) [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 black.] [The carpet is also black. But it's nice and plush. Very plush.] [The whole place is lit with a faint, ambient light, although it seems to cast shadows somehow, too. Which is weird, considering all the mirrors.] [Your room number is 303, posted on the door with large gold letters.] Huh. Yeah, weird, huh? * Nate walks down the corridor, board in tow. He's somewhat eying the mirrors as he walks. (Give me a sight roll and a hearing roll in #besm.) (First will be sight, second hearing) (Both make, sight just, hearing by 1) [Ahead of you, you see a shimmering light. And you hear voices, though you can't quite make out what they're saying.] * Nate goes towards the light! Hey, it's where the action is. He's cautious though. [The light remains just ahead of you. On one side of you are mirrors, on the other more doors.] (Give me a sight roll.) (...you were waiting for that) [So intent are you on watching the light that you slam right into a set of double doors. They're black, with a circular mirror- window in each one.] * Nate smacks into it and takes a step back, holding his nose. At least his nose doesn't have piercings, but his lip..."Ow...fuck!" [Nate, meet door. Door, Nate.] * Nate says hi to the fucking door by shoving it open with his shoulder. [Inside you find...] [...something that will be revealed in five days' time!] [What happens next? You'll find out at ACen!] [Intro End!]
