City of Anarchy (Survival RTD)
« on: August 28, 2013, 08:04:48 pm »

The fires bring blackness to the sky through thick smoke, the shops in the commercial district, the homes in the residential district, the skyscrapers in the business district, a mix of apartments, business, parks and home in the central district and the rich gated community of the south district. Young men and women fire into the people. They kill and take. Terrorism orchestrated at its finest has erupted in the peaceful city. As flesh lay upon the streets and gangs run wild in the chaos. You three are the ones who seem to be sane enough to try and escape over the blockades at the main roads guarded by armed persons.

You ask yourselves why this could of happened. They took out the law enforcement and had gotten political hostages along with many civilian hostages held up on a skyscraper. The main roads are blocked by semi trucks, but even if the national guard were to simply break through a lot of important figures in the political scene would die, tied to businesses that are suited to having them elected, it would simply just not be allowed. Many people lucky enough to hide, do so. A lot are killed on the streets and through buildings broken in to.

You three had gotten to relative shelter in the central district park, hiding in the concrete bathroom during the attacks. It has been some hours now. You three are...

(Sheets time, as well just so you know, don't get too attached, some decision you make will be in your favor, most will not. You will certainly die. Work together or survive separately)

Name: (Yay Names, doesn't effect a lot unless you are known)
Age: (Your age, determines a couple of things, but not many)
Gender: (Males and Females will have completely different effects especially when dealing with opposing genders)
Work: (What you do for work determines items you start with)
Reason here: (Effects your ending story if you win!)

(Also, this will probably be a highly depressing dystopian scenario. Be prepared for some pretty graphic details. Your goals here are pretty much your own. Though the main things you can do to stop, or win this is; Take down the terrorist group, escaping, or simply getting rid of their leverage somehow. Two rolls in attacking states, one assault, the other defense. For searching you get one roll and for actions (ex. sneaking) you get two rolls to ability and their detection. If in the event you win, the game is over. You will all get a nice little ending story. We will see if people want to start a new game or not.)

(I don't expect this to last that long at first, I believe everyone will make careless mistakes. But I figure I would restart the game every time with new civilians in the city to leave off where the heroes died. This means as well though, if the heroes manage to save civilians, later if one dies, someone else who wants in can become a saved civilian and enter the game as long as the saved civilian is still alive at the time, which I guess you could take as, that would be hard. The enemy is numerous and highly armed. You will have to be sharp in your decisions because if there is no roll in common sense.)

Age:                              36

Gender:                         Female

Work:                            Restaurant Manager

Reason for being here:   Chance and happenstance, the right place at the right time, had a huge role in how she came to be in the shelter of this park's concrete bathroom at the start of play.  She was walking home from a judo class when the troubles started that lead to her sheltering here.

You three begin to formulate a small plan on what to do. Discussing what needs to be done. Currently located in the central park, everywhere else is within walking distance, it isn't a problem. However getting there without being noticed is another thing all together. With screams and gunfire in the distance, even the most savvy person will need to be in their best mental as well as physical shape. For now, water will be the main importance for survival if you plan to run. Weapons will be as well. For now the electricity in some buildings are still on. The lines haven't been disrupted in certain places but would those buildings be safe? The choice is up to you three on what you do. (You get one movement and one action turn, attacks will simply happen and you will fight with what you have equipped, you may switch your inventory weapons at any time, even in battle.)

"Well... We should probably go somewhere where no one else would want to be. I'd say... a garbage dump probably if there's one around here."

[[Could you describe some of the stuff around us that is in walking distance?]]

[There you go, and as I mentioned, you are in the central district park. Rather than a city, its a largely cut off part of it. For specifics in the central district itself, there are some residential homes, the park and a few small businesses such as restaurants and such.]

[I put you on the waiting list, there are already three people. So you will need to wait until one dies and they save a civilian or until they all die. Or win in the unlikely case]

Coolrune206 lay down where he hid, trying in vain to move his arms. He realized he was paralyzed by electricity, and he lay there, hoping someone would help him. (Just setting up for RP later :P)

This city has a sewer and excess rainwater control system, right?  If we can get into that, that might be the easiest and safest way to get out of here.  It would have various sized access points throughout the entire city, with some major accesses near primary repair points, as well as the water treatment and discharge accesses.  Some cities combine electrical wire routes underground along the sewer routes, if that's true here there's likely to be more observation down there, but everything seems chaos now, it's probably not to organized.

What do you two think about trying that way out?  And where are we going to try to get too?  Have either of you heard anything that makes a direction seem safer than any other way to go?

I don't know about supplies.  How big is this city anyway?  Is it small enough we could possibly walk out of this anarcy in a single night or just a couple days?  If we could, we don't really need to stop for much, and we really don't need to stop for anything except when it looks like a perfect and safe chance.

As the heroes discuss their plans, some time goes by. Fires spread, and the chaos continues. Shotgun blasts can be heard going through the park at this point. A pump at that. Some man screams, "Get the girl, ain't no need for the man." Another man screams and is quickly stopped by the blast of the shotgun. The single shotgun wielder calls out. "Here kitty kitty. Here kitty kitty." A women screams into the distance and a man's laughter follows her Some other feet follow him, only a few. They did not bother to check into the concrete bathroom.

A helicopter quickly goes overhead, a news chopper. They filmed the scenes below in an attempt to get a good story. Looking out the slim windows, you could barely make out the chopper stopping to film the streets. Then there was a reddish-orange streak that hit it quick. Into the cockpit, it explodes. The chopper immediately spirals downwards and a large crunching noise is heard. It wasn't too far off from the small businesses in the central district. And while it is far off you can hear some group cheering at the spectacle. Clapping and yelling in unison.

Water slowly drops from the sink in the bathroom showing the water was still running at least there. But without going out and checking out the surroundings, the heroes would never know what was there. A vague collection of the city does not equal knowing where things really are. Would they continue to discuss? Would they split up? Would they work together? Perhaps even die talking about what they could of done. It was only a matter of time until something happened most likely.

Search the house for a good packback or duffel bag. Fill it with canned and dry goods then fill any bottles I can find with water and put them in it as well. Look around for a gun, some combat knives or any other weapons I can find.
