Okay. Before we begin, we have a few questions for you. IC or OOC? IC. Okay, let's see... Ya, 'kay. z_z Does it matter with you Calc? :P Hopefully. ^_^_v Heh. Okay. What is your name? Hm? Dave. What is your quest? * Dave looks at you funny. "I sell hamburgers." Go on. ...'n fries. Menu's up there. (I take it you want Dave to actually answer? ^_^) (Yep.) (Can answer as much as you want.) * Dave looks at you more alertly. "Well, since you know my real job...I work intelligence for McDonald's and several other restaurants. It's not really my goal in life, as such, but it's a job and at least gives me things I know I have to do." I work underground to find ecoterrorists, the nastier type of union organizers, and so forth. It's stimulating and I have plenty of backup, although it does get tiring to keep up the facade of being a terminally stoned fast-food worker. * Dave shrugs. "Long-term goals, none. That's about it." What is your favorite color? * Dave tilts his head. "Gold, of course. You learn to like the arches." So are you ready? For what? This. [Incoming Brackets of Description!] [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 4 Start!] * Dave frowns, and reaches for the knife that he keeps next to the mattress. [You've got a knife! Now what?] * Dave slides out of bed, and looks around to see if he notices anything obviously dangerous in the dark. If not, he tiptoes over and turns on the light. [You do not notice anything obviously dangerous. And you find a lightswitch on the wall, and you turn the lights on. (more)] [The room is gold. (Well, actually more of a dark yellow, but we'll call it gold for simplicity's sake.) The room is very gold. The wallpaper is gold. The bedspread is gold. The bedframe is gold. There are gold chairs and a gold table and a television on a gold stand. And gold curtains covering what you'd assume are large picture windows.] [There is a gold door leading to what is probably the bathroom.] [In short, you are in a very gold hotel room.] * Dave blinks a few times, and mutters under his breath: "Whiskey Tango Foxtrot..." * Dave pats himself down, and looks around for his belongings. [There's a dresser on one side of the room, and a suitcase that looks very familiar next to it.] * Dave opens the suitcase, and quietly checks the dresser drawers. [Everything that you'd expect to have with you if you were going on a trip (or mission) is there.] * Dave rubs his head, and checks to make sure that the bathroom is a bathroom. [The bathroom is white. It looks like a normal bathroom: toilet, tub with shower, sink, mirror. The towels are gold.] * Dave grabs his suitcase and gets dressed, then checks out the hallway. "What'm I doing here?", he mutters. [Before you open the door, you note that there's nothing on the back of it. No fire escape plans, room rates, not even a peephole.] * Dave puts his hand inside his jacket, then, and makes sure that he's carrying all of his belongings. [Yep, you've got everything you're supposed to. (i.e. all your Personal Gear/Gadgets)] (Is there a lock/chain on the door?) (Nope.) (Well, an interior lock, but not a chain lock.) * Dave gets next to the door and opens it slightly, looking out. [You look across and see yourself. It looks like a fairly typical hotel corridor, except for the fact that the entire opposite wall is mirrored from the waist up. From the waist down, it's gold. (more)] [The carpet is a particularly LOUD shade of gold, rather mustard-y. The whole place is lit with a faint, ambient, slightly golden light. Your room number is 101, posted on the door in black letters.] (Also, please give me a hearing roll in #besm.) [And the carpet is nice and plush. Very plush.] (4, that's a yes. ^_^) [You hear a bell. It's deep and clear, like the kind you'd find at a church.] * Dave steps out and walks down the corridor, heading towards the bell. He checks the mirror as he goes, looking at the corridor ahead. (Are you walking right or left?) (Hmm, let's call it left.) [The mirror reflects you. Nothing jumps out at you. As you progress down the corridor, you find more doors on your left and mirrors on your right.] (Give me an awareness roll.) (7. I see dead people!) [No, you don't. This isn't MC2. Or MC anything. So you don't really notice anything odd about the doors as you continue to walk down the hall.] [Eventually, you come to a wall.] * Dave shrugs, and heads back in the other direction. What's the numbering on the doors? Any signs? (Give me a sight roll and a hearing roll.) [There are no signs. The numbers on the doors... well, all of them are 101.] * Dave shivers slightly. "Spooky." (No and yes.) [You hear voices coming from your right, farther up the hall. You can't make out what they're saying, but definitely voices.] * Dave heads thataway! (Give me one more sight roll.) * Dave pulls out his cell phone as he walks, checking for reception. [No bars.] (And nope.) [Well, you didn't critfail, thankfully, so you actually look up when you reach a set of double doors instead of running into them like some poor soul has done. ;p (more)] [The doors are also gold, with circular, mirrored windows set into them.] * Dave shrugs, and opens the doors. [Inside you find...] [...something that will be revealed in five days' time!] [What happens next? You'll find out at ACen!] [Intro End!]
