Fantasy Meets Reality (RP)

[Zoey]

(( How did Vespene gas get in that thing? xD ))

Nova covers his mouth. "Great, you just busted the machine" he says to Chu. Nova then decides to leave the place, he doesn't have any reason to stay unless he wants to take a shower early in the day.

[Marky]

Mark was annoyed at the sprinklers going off. "This just figures..." he says, as he takes his glasses off and puts them away. However, Mark noticed one thing peculiar. The smoke wasn't bothering his lungs at all. Even having a friend who smoked in college, Mark always had to cough every now and then, after breathing in the cigarette smoke, but this didn't bother him at all. Odd... Mark thought, backing away from the machine a bit.

[Florina]

Chu merely shrugs, leaning against the Marvel VS Capcom machine nonchalantly. "I'm definitely going to be shocked by the fiberglass and plastic casing," he chuckled, absentmindedly flipping an arcade token in his hand. "This thing probably has an auto-stop, and the smoke's harmless. I can breathe fine, even right in the middle of it all."

Most of the individuals, including Doc, had already rushed outside - those inside could hear a collection of gasps, screams, "oohs" and "aahs" from beyond the door... Something was definitely going on.


Nova, having left the building, is able to witness the reason everyone is in such a panic, The sky is completely dark; the black smoke from the game shop, as well as several other plumes of the stuff rising from as far as the eye could see, had collected in the sky, blotting out the sun...

(( XD I dunno. It's not actually vespene, I just felt like saying it. ))

[Nosnits]

"Oh wow, that was exciting." Jeff says as he heads outside of the store. 'This was probably just some scam, or adrvertising for a new firefighting video game' he thinks to himself. He looks up as he leaves. "What the hell?"

[Zoey]

"Holy $h!# " says Nova as he sees the sky darken almost instantaniously. "What's going on?..." he says taking a few steps back. The scene he was was like those found in apocalyptic movies.

[Queen Octavia]

I head outside after checking to make sure everyone is OK, and see what's wrong.

"What the..." Tony frowns at the sky. "I'd wonder if this was terrorists, but then I'd sound stupid and have to smack myself."

[Rena]

As the smoke began to fill the room, both Reid and David retreated to the outdoors, not exactly sure what was going on. "I'm going to assume this isn't a storm?" Reid suggested as he stared up at the sky.

"If it's rain, I'm fine with it. My day is already damp enough." David sighed.

[Florina]

Having followed the others outside to see what all the commotion was about, Chu merely stared at the darkened sky in awe. "That's... New..." He said to nobody in particular.

Suddenly, a booming voice could be heard echoing through the skies, its sonorous power being projected through every single RAMJAP box that had detonated. "Welcome to my little social experiment," it said, a superior, mocking tone in the deep male voice. "I do hope you enjoy it. I am known as Takashira Kouji, and the RAMJAP is my opus, my most fantastic creation." All was silent; no birds could be calling, no cars were running; in fact, all electricity had fled the city, and no vehicle would start. "You may wonder what is going on; well, you may all rest assured, you will know soon enough. Human life is rather monotonous, don't you think? The same foolish events, every day... If only it were as fantastic as the works of fiction that are scattered across the world..." The voice faded out at this, leaving behind an eerie silence.

"Alrighty, then..." Chu shook his head to clear his thoughts, pulling a roll of protective bandaging from his bag and wrapping his hands in the adhesive protection. "We seem to have ourselves a madman, folks... But whatever he tried to do didn't seem to work."

[Marky]

Deciding that he had had enough of getting wet, Mark walked outside, and looked up at the sky. Noticing something was different about it, Mark took his glasses back out, cleaned them off, and looked up into the sky. "What the hell?!" He asked, seeing the sky.

Suddenly, Mark heard the booming voice speak. Taking out his cell phone, Mark noticed that it wasn't working. Great, just great...

[Zoey]

"We should get to the Authorities" says Nova to Chu who seems to be preparing for a fist fight.

[Rena]

"Well, my day is just turning out to be all kinds of wonderful." David sighed as he considered what the voice was saying. "The concept behind his reasoning is pretty interesting, but there is no sort of technology in this world to substantiate such a device, let alone administer it to a large group of people at once." This crazy guy was ruining his mood even more.

[Queen Octavia]

Tony laughs: "This is a gag, right? Man this is a strange city. Or is it a promo stunt? Whatever, just try not to panic. I bet some idiot will believe this nonsense and get someone hurt. I had better stick around just to make sure no-one does anything stupid."

But secretly, I agree with the voice, and hope that maybe this is real. I mean, here I am, a nobody in a world filled with six billion nobodies. Wouldn't it be great to be a Gandalf? A Goku? A Kira? Or even a normal person amid fantastic people.

Whatever, anything would be better than the day to day soul killing grind of capitalism.

Of course though, this is just a hoax.

[AshK]

"So much for my idea of going to the store." Ashton says as he is standing outside with the others just looking at the building burning.

"Okay how did this happen?" He asks.

(Sorry for the late post. I had school tonight.)

[Hira Kanaki]

"Personally I'd perfer a Ryo, Kyo, or a Hyo but that's just me." Ace said.

[Florina]

"Like whoever that guy was was serious," Chu chuckled, taking a few experimental jabs and kicks. "This is probably just some big corporate prank for a new product release..." However, deep down Chu had a feeling that this was not true. In fact, he was quite concerned; anything that could shut down the entire suburb power-wise was not a force to be taken lightly.

Meanwhile, Mark would soon notice that everything seemed larger to him... His eyes had turned a soft blue, and his chest had developed a fierce itch. He felt the urge to sneeze, the smoke finally seeming to have an effect on his lungs.
