The year is 2025. There has been a second ebola outbreak, a new cold war has broken out between China, Russia and the US and Firefly is still cancelled. On the bright side, you managed to get some time off from whatever you usually do and are about to go on a trip. Each one of you signed up for some kind of life insurance should the world end. Some of you knew eachother already, others are new. You didn't really read much of it, but it came 90% off and had a free vacation, so why not? You and the group of people you're going with have just joined up after checking in at the airport.

I realize that you're not really getting much backstory. That's because the world of 2025 isn't much different from the world of today, and most of the fun in this one is going to be derived from being put in weird places. I hope.

Not first come first serve. 5 spots. 24 hours at the very least. Spoiler: we're going to space, baby!

Applications aren't exactly pouring in, but that's to be expected. For anyone who is interested, the main inspirations for this are space dandy, with a dash of rick & morty and adventure time.

Speaking of lowest intelligence, that reminds me of the fact that it's probably your first time in prison. Don't worry, I can give you some tips, having spent some time in a few myself. The best way to make friends here is to drop the soap during shower time. Try it, I'm sure you'll love making friends like that!

All right, I'll go about choosing our players and getting the first turn up now. And with now I mean probably in a few hours. Stay tuned.

EDIT: Players will be Normality, Ozarck, Tomasque, Yoink and Sl4cker. The rest will go on the waitlist for now.

-Episode 1: A hippy, a tourist, a rocker, a dancer and a nerd walk into a bar-



It is currently 9am on a rainy tuesday at JFK international airport. After the checking in and putting your luggage on the conveyor belt, the assembled people get split up into smaller groups. You get put into group C, with four other people. After a not completely agonizingly long shpiel from the saleswoman representing Safe.Co (A safe haven for everyone), you get lead to a hall where you will have to wait until the plane arrives. It won't be here for another 30 minutes at least, so you make yourself comfortable in the weird looking sofas. Some artist clearly thought that sofas in the shape of comma's would be a wonderful thing, but they're not all that comfortable.

The hall has been catered by the Safe.Co (Affordable safety from the apocalypse), so there is a small cart with drinks and sandwiches for those who bought their plan. A small bookstand also has some leaflets, along with some cheap paperbacks for participants to take on the plane. Stuff like cheap ariport romance novels, dictionaries, bibles and a few weird titles. "Tea from unusual plants", "My time on a deserted island: a not completely made up tale", "500 shades of grey". Man, who chose these?

The saleswoman announces that your plane will be 30 minutes late due to a luggage mixup in another airport. What a drag.

Lucy, deciding she's had enough of these ridiculous couches, goes to take a look at the drinks cart without much enthusiasm.
"Man, they never have anything that isn't half-and-half sugar and death in these places," she mutters under her breath.

Go check out the drinks cart. Do they have any organic colas, fruit smoothies or green/herbal tea? Iced or hot, either works.



((Edit: coloured the dialogue.))

Leroy sighs after hearing how long the flight will be, and heads over to the books available. "500 Shades of grey? Who'd want to look at paint colours? Is there any magazines? Gaming perhaps!" He says and his eues light up.

Search through all the books, to try and find a gaming magazine.
