The Cube
« on: July 25, 2012, 01:03:55 am »

You are just an ordinary person, taking care of your regular day-to-day business, when suddenly, a cube falls out of the sky. It wasn't any ordinary cube either- the air around it seemed to contort and twist. Also, it was huge. You and half the town have gathered around around a big hole in the cube which you presume is the entrance. Suddenly, a few people decide to enter. You can only wish them the best...

Name: Jonathan Nix

Gender: Male

Age: 30

Appearance: A shabby looking man in a trenchcoat, wearing noting but a brown t-shirt and jeans underneath.  He has shaggy black hair, untrimmed and unkempt.  Average height and average build.

Bio: Jonathan always wanted to be free.  Free of government, free of rules, free of limitations, free of other people even.  He just wanted something other than the shallow, empty looking lives of other people.

So, he took to living in the streets, not begging, but foraging for scraps, and occasionally stealing food.  To pass the time, he often philosophizes about the nature of many things, like the great Greek scholar he read about in high school.

Legion:
You head through the entrance without concern, and follow a hallway. Eventually you reach an intersection. You can either go right, left, or just keep going. You can see a door at the end of the path in front of you, but the other two just end in darkness.

Franz:
You go through the entrance after the the tall man, reaching the same point that he did. Do you go right or left, into the dark hallways, or forwards, to the door?

Bob:
You hesitate as you start going through the entrance. You think about going back, but realise that you have already volunteered. Eventually, you catch up to the other two. Do you go into the darkness, or to the door?

T.A.N:
You go through the entrance after the rest. After some mild jogging, you catch up to them before any of them chose a path. Do you chose to go left, right, or forwards?

Jonathan:
You take a moment to pluck up your courage, and then enter. After walking for a bit, you come up to the intersection where all the others are. Forward, left, or right?

Conrad:
You head into the cube without a moments hesitation. You are sure that this will be exciting. You start walking a little faster, to catch up with the rest. Do you go right, left, or forward?

Bob:
You go to the doorway, and try the handle. It opens and you head through it, not noticing an inscription on the wall above the wall.

You find yourself in a summer meadow. Wait a second... Wasn't it cold when you went in a few minutes ago?

You can't see much, except for a large tree, providing shade.

It seems like the cube was smaller than you thought!

Conrad:
As you go down the right hallway, you notice that there are actually dim lights leading the way. Eventually, you reach a door, with an inscription above it. However, the light was too dim to see it properly.

Jonathan:
You follow the slightly plump man to the doorway. He goes through, apparently not noticing the inscriptions on the wall above the doorway.

T.A.N:
You follow the other man through the dimly-lighted right hallway, stopping to try and check what the inscription says with him.
