Author Topic: The Community-Run Adventure - Mall Escapade  (Read 1885 times)

probably won't live long but eh.

How this works is by reversing the role of the adventurer controller (now me), and the storymaker (you)

I will quote the post I am responding to and post actions. Players are left to make up events and environmental descriptions. Pictures are allowed (if you want to take the time to make them)

If nothing happens for a while or nobody posts something reasonable then I'll make up something for the environment and we'll switch roles for two pages.

Any derailing posts or just stupid stuff will be ignored :)


Your name is Forrest McGee. Where are you located, and what happened to you?

You're sitting at a small table in a mall, you feel a stabbing pain in your chest, but you do not remember anything.  Busy people surround you, going about their business.  You look towards a large clock in the center of the mall.  It is 1:13 PM.

You're in a hospital bed in a dark and dingy ward, there's no-one else there. You look at the clock positioned on the far wall, it's 1am. You remember small things about yourself, you work for the CIA, trying to get the briefcase and whatever was inside it, getting shot.

You're in a road-side ditch with a black eye and bruises all over you. You've been beat up by the [insert name here] gang. You see a sign that says
Farsville  35 ^

You check your pockets, what do you find?

Anything on the table, or sitting next to you?

a small pocketknife, a wallet, and a cell phone

A carrot, a pack of cigarettes, and cab fair.

You check the wallet for contents.

Check the last call you made on the cell phone.

Reexamine environment. How full is the mall? Anything on the table? Any stores of interest?

The last call you made was to Ron Jeremy, you recall contacting him for his richard tricks.

The environment in the mall is near empty, and there is nothing on the table in front of you.  It is late at night, a light blanket of snow covers the ground outside.

Contradicts first scenario description; please retry

I feel like a robot while writing these posts lol

The last call was to your girlfriend Maria. The mall is nearly empty with the exception of about six men who seem to be approaching you.

Guess it cleared out quickly :o

Make a run for it

You run and escape around a corner. You heard gunshots ringing just where you were before.

May I add?

In your left pocket you find a somewhat charred picture of a girl.  She looks kind of pretty, and a few years younger than you.

At the table there sits an empty paper cup that has nothing but extremely watered down soda in it, from soda left behind and some melted ice.  A janitor sweeps it off the table into a plastic trash bag that he is carrying.

You think that this "Maria" is your girlfriend, judging by the rather intimate texts between you two, but you still can't seem to remember anything, except your name, age, gender and appearance, along with basic motor skills.  But when you take a glance at that charred picture, you immediately know...













It was your sister that died 3 years ago in a fire that destroyed your whole house, and your family.

Search for a mall map, so we can get out of here. Look around for shops to hide in, in case you need to.

Can't remember having any car keys; must be a bicycle you used to get here... or is someone waiting for you?
