Reserve for wait list please. I'll make a sheet later.

I wish I could unwatch a thread because every time I look at this I can feel myself dying faster
Dying of laughter?
Dying of pure unbridled hatred, actually.

1998, November 13th, City of Gardai, Tejekov, Somewhere in Eastern Europe
Two weeks ago, the Revolution took hold. In a blur of explosions, CIA funding, and machine-gun fire, the Glorious Leader of Tejekov was found to have killed himself by a gunshot to the head. The revolutionaries were victorious. A day later, it was revealed that all rations, gasoline, and other essential materials had been pawned off to corporations by the Glorious Leader as a posthumous "salt the earth" style contingency plan. This caused mass inflation, and massive famine. Never a good combination.

One week ago, the Tejekov Civil War began.

In the capital of Tejekov, blood flowed. Mortar fire shook the Stalinist-style tenements and blew apart fleeing men, women, and children alike. Gunfire drowned out the screaming of those who were struck by the bullets. A tank stolen from the army base was driving when a molotov cocktail struck it's cooling vents. The petrol-assisted fire burnt through to the ammo stockpile. Then it went up in flames, and it's operators were burnt alive like meat in an oven. The tank rolled forward until it finally smashed into a wall.

Somewhere in that madness that was now Gardai, there was a park called Chergok Park. It was a nice park, all things considered. Somewhere in-between the statues of stoic-faced communists (Now pulled down by disgruntled revolutionaries and left to rot), and the rather massive sculpture of the Glorious Leader (Face unseen, as always) in deep thought, there was a mass grave between some shady trees.

It wasn't a good mass grave. There was a few bodies sticking out. It was very swampy and you could easily start to sink down and feel one of the corpses below you. A few flies buzzed around it, occasionally landing on the rotting carcasses. It began to rain.

Seven people lay in the mass grave. Their stories are over. All there is to ask is how they got there.

How did you get into a mass grave?

I was involved in an unfortunate coincidence in that I look exactly like Glorious Leader, leading to the entire city's revolutionary forces chasing after me. I was caught when I fell off a 4-story building and shot to death.
I was dumped in a mass grave.


Too crazy?

In context, it's kinda silly, but I can actually make it work.

Wait... when did I die? Eh, never mind that's a question for later, I'm sure. I belive I was looting food from a house. The owner caught me and as a last resort I jumped off a bridge. I guess I never survived the fall. Someone probably found me and tossed me in to the grave after that. The scenery is nice at least, can't praise the smell to much though.

I got in over my head after a particularly nasty argument.

You'll have to write up a character sheet first.

It's pretty bad if I've had the best combination of 'dead guy telling a someone about his death' and 'not crazy weird'. No offense to my fellow players intended.

Well, getting killed in an argument isn't really that weird depending on the context, and you don't really have to go too mad with the description precluding it.

I forgot that in real life people aren't as civil when arguing as they are here.

"I was unlucky enough to be at the scene of a major...not really a battle, a major blow in the Tejehov Civil War. It was a store, where I was shot after being mistaken for the enemy by some panicked soldiers--or at least people with guns..."

Can we at some point make it canon that the fighters on both sides talk in posh accents and wear top hats and monocles while shooting each other over tea?

Edit:  Spelling and shit.
