(Open) Insanity - Anything Goes - Part 1: New Neighbors
« on: February 07, 2017, 03:18:16 pm »

INSANITY - Anything Goes - Part 1: New Neighbors
You wake up in your house, or at least, what looks to be your house. Hey, look, there's some new neighbors, also waking up!

You should probably go out and meet them, make some coffee, chat about life. Let's just hope things don't get too crazy, though...

Rules
laughing uncontrollably

Sorry, I didn't realize you actually needed those.

Essentially, you can try anything you want, whenever you want, for whatever reason you want. You'll still be constrained by what's physically possible... mostly.

On the flip side, I also get to do whatever I want, provided there is some correlation between your action and it - if you say you eat a pancake, I can make the pancake actually be a CIA top-secret camoflauged hoverboard. Basically, you do whatever you want, and I make it turn out however I want. Expect a lot of funny dialogue, references, 4th-wall breaks, and bad puns.

(I also encourage you to play while angry, sad, right after you drank six coffees, or simply up at 3 AM nightblogging showerthoughts. I'll probably be GMing the same way.)

Rolls
All actions are determined with a d10, through random.org. Modifiers will be added based on your current state (i.e, if you're trying to charm a toaster collector, wearing your sarcastic toaster graphic tee will give you a +1 modifier.)

You can over-do it, causing things to backfire. For example, getting a 10 with a +3 strength modifier while trying to pet a fluffy kitten will end up exactly the way you think. (Unless you think it'll be petted softly and gently.)

Sign-Up Sheet
You can sign up at any time you want. The "Open" in the title is just there to make sure people don't think it's closed.

WIP:

Name: Zoh Roark
Gender: Male
Age: Yes, he does age. At the normal rate, too.
Appearance: Short sleeved black shirt, slightly worn jeans, short black hair, blue eyes.
Inventory: 3DSXL, Clothes, iPhone, pencil, notebook.
Personality: Calm and logical, but not in the sane way. He know's the world's insane, and that he isn't, so he tries his best to retain a modicum of composure in whatever happens. May change.
List three of your favorite things: Magic, transformation, logic.
What's 6 * 9?: Assuming the asterisk is a point of rotation, Ying-Yang. Assuming it's somehow a multiplication sign, 54.

Work on a potential forum game for my return to Bay12. Figure out parts that puzzled me before. Find more things to figure out that I can't. Work on another game instead of solving them. Get distracted and stop working. Remember it a week or two later. Remember I'm still on hiatus. Illogically, Be too ashamed to return yet. Repeat ad nauseam.

Finally have a game completely ready. Wait a week before posting it out of laziness.

Name: Nix Johnson
Gender: Male
Age: 25
Appearance: Wears very tacky sweaters, the kind you should only see around Christmas, and also has a tricorne hat.
Inventory: Iphone, Watch, Swiss Army Knife, stress ball, shades.
Personality: A very benevolent sociopath, who genuinely tries to be helpful and kind to other people, not because he sees them as people, but because trying to live in a sensible and orderly way is funny to him.
List three of your favorite things: Sweaters, cats, murder.
What's 6 * 9?:  Remove the asterisk, and it's something that could get me banned from this forum just for mentioning.

Accepted.

You wake up in your room, surrounded by a few posters and a bunch of books on magic, the divine, and all that.

Looking out the window, you see some other neighbors. Perhaps you should go meet them.

You wake up in your bed, wearing your lovely fur sweater you made from when you murdered all those kittens to make hamburgers. Hey, can't let anything go to waste in today's society, now can you?

Oh, look, new victi- I mean, neighbors! Perhaps you should go talk to them.

You angrily wake up. Them darn whippersnappers better not ruin another day for you.

You climb out of bed, and stare out the window.

Just what you need, more crazy youngsters tearing up the neighborhood, throwing eggs at houses and such. Pssh.

Walk outside the house, and greet my older neighbour with a friendly wave.

"Howdy there neighbour. Lovely day today, ain't it?"

Read some books for a little while, while I'm fully waking up.

Frank exits his house and glares menacingly at his neighbor.

"Damn kid! You better stay off my lawn!"

Zoh, hearing the bickering, takes a small break from reading, and says out his window "Can you try to be a little more quiet? It's five o'clock in the morning. Shouldn't you be asleep for another 7 hours?", referring to the elderly, likely crazy man wearing a tricorne hat.

"Goodness, is that the time? I barely noticed. Well, I'll let you get back to your doings, neighbours, pleasure meeting you's all. I'll be seeing you again.", he says with a smile.

Go inside and see if there's any tools and lumber inside my house.

Frank looks taken aback for a moment.

"J-just how old do you think I am?!"
