A Conscious Concern
Who’s up for some body swapping?
I’m sorry, what? How? (Click to Show)
Essentially, during your last visit to the RHG, you took a drink from the watercooler, which had been spiked with a chemical that transfers one’s consciousness to another after a several hour (like into the dead of night when you should be sleeping) period, for a 24 hour period. Just because you go to them doesn’t necessarily mean that they go to you, and once the RHG finds out something is wrong, they’ll attempt to gather anyone who ‘may have had contaminated water’ from their facilities.
Okay then… How does this work? (Click to Show)
This is going to branch off in three parts.
1: After I close signups after a week, you’ll be given your assigned body. From there, you’ll have another week to write the initial discovery of your… situation, as well as how you handle it. As far as writing goes, I’d prefer this to be written without being upfront about whose consciousness is in the body. First or third person doesn’t really matter to me, and if it comes up in the story (You unconsciously correct someone when they say not your name or whatever) it’s cool if the jig is up, but as far as structure goes for consistency, if John is in August’s body, please refer to him as August. You’ll have 10 days to complete this.
2: Somehow RPs just seem to happen when I pull this crap. About halfway through the first phase, I’m going to open this back up. This is after you’ve either been gathered up or returned on your own and takes place in a rest area within the RHG. Essentially, all of you are going to be together in the room until it wears off to make sure you don’t ruin each other’s lives and all of you can be kept an eye on in general. Please don’t open with who you really are. If it comes up, fine, but don’t intro with “John, in August’s body”, because as a terrible person, I enjoy the fear of not knowing who maaaaaay have just dismantled a chunk of your life.
3: This is going to be you in your body, dealing with the aftermath of whatever occurred. It’s going to take place after you leave the RHG building (you’ll be put in a room in the night so you have somewhere to sleep), although aftermath will largely depend on what your partner did. You’ll have ten days to complete this as well, and once everything is compiled, I’ll post the thread.
How do I enter? (Click to Show)
If you’re going to sign up, just say so on the thread, and then PM me where your character will be, come morning. Do not post that on the thread.
Don’t have to send me that PM that exact moment however, just before signups close. If you enter the last day or two before however, I’ll give you two another one or two to get it done. Not looking for college thesis descriptions, but I will be needing a good deal of detail for this. What’s in the room, anyone else who will be stopping by that morning, and things that are off limits.
Q&A (Click to Show)
Q: What’s off limits?
A: Killing/physically hurting other people’s characters or doing damage beyond repair to important things to their personal plot. Additionally, in regards to their location, I’ll be asking them if anything is specifically off limits, or if all is fair. If your character isn’t exactly… appropriate, however, super vagueness will suffice. For example, if you sleep nude, that is ALL I need to know about that.
Q: ____ doesn’t exactly live alone. Should their roommate/friend/companion/lover be out of town that day?
A: This is also going to be up to the individual. Just include it in your PM of where you’ll be. If someone’s beside you or a room over, mention it. If that’s not said specifically, assume not.
Q: My RHG doesn't work for this/I don't have an RHG/I don't want my RHG for this
A: For available information's sake, I'd prefer a gladiator, but I'll take anything with a profile.
