[Siquo]

Roughly based on TNTOCH, which was roughly based on IWBTG.

Rules:
- Anyone may post, up to 5 people for now, each controlling his own character. After that a waiting list, but I expect people to die a lot (losing is FUN!) so there won't be much waiting...
- The Multiplayerness is... different. You'll see.
- The goal of the game is to return home.
- Allowed actions are anything you could do in real life.
- Joining by yelling "reserved" or "in" won't count. Posting your first action in the story will get you a spot.

Story
The last thing you remember, is that you were reading about a game called Survival of the Fittest in the Forum Games and Roleplaying section of Bay12 forums. Then everything went white. Now, as you look around, you're standing on a hill, it's night, and the moon illuminates your surroundings.
You are alone.
A big house is standing a ways off, and there's light behind one of the windows. You think to yourself: "Oh, how original..."
You hear something howling in the forest.
You wonder how to get home, again...

Eh... My first try at one of these thingy mabobs.

Start running towards the house, careful not to trip up on any stray roots or fall into any potholes.

BTW: Is the forest near the house? Or further away?

[WorkerDrone]

RESERVED. THIS IS YELLING.

Kidding.

I run towards the house, watching for stray dogs and werewolves.

[Luckk]

Check my general surroundings and walk slowly toward the light near the house, watching for anything moving.

[[P]sYDoNiA]

Howdy Fellas'

[deadlycairn]

I carefully head for the forest, ready to run if the howls get closer.

[Heron TSG]

charge the howls.

[Flintus10]

I'll sign on to the waiting list.

[Zai]

I'd also like to be on the waiting list. Are we supposed to post our first action to get on the waiting list now, like we would if spots were available, or do we wait until a spot is open to do that?

[[P]sYDoNiA]

A question:

Do we see the other dudes?

[GruffyBears]

I begin sprinting towards the house. As I run, I wrap my jacket around my hand, but keep my T-shirt on.

Start running towards the house, careful not to trip up on any stray roots or fall into any potholes.
BTW: Is the forest near the house? Or further away?

Further away, there is a large clearing around the house. You run towards the house, and reach it, cleverly avoiding all kinds of holes and twisty roots.

I run towards the house, watching for stray dogs and werewolves.

You see no trace of dogs or wolves, but: running, at night, through nature, without looking down, is a bad idea in general.

You trip, and fall. Your right arm breaks with a loud, wet snap on a rock. Your right foot is stuck in a tangle of roots and thorned branches.

Check my general surroundings and walk slowly toward the light near the house, watching for anything moving.

The house is in a large clearing. Slowly but surely, you reach the front of the house, you see nothing moving, but you feel something watching, beyond the shadows.

I carefully head for the forest, ready to run if the howls get closer.

The forest is a lot darker and bigger and menacing with spikes than it seemed from afar... The howls get closer. You get ready to run. You hear a scream coming from the forest, somehow it sounds close, yet distant...

charge the howls.

You charge downhill, towards the forest. Once you pass the treeline, all light is absorbed by the trees. Blindly, you charge forward, disregarding the sharp twigs and branches that flay the skin from your flesh. There is a howl close by, you scream, and suddenly you hear a large branch snap. The pain is gone now, and you realise that it wasn't a branch that snapped, it was your neck. The last thing you notice is the foul breath of death around you...

I'll sign on to the waiting list.

"The last thing you remember, is that you were reading about a game called" etcetc


Those of you closer to the house, see that it is built of red bricks, and three stories high. It's quite big. The light is somewhere behind a window on the second floor.

[Siquo]

Psy, you see no other dudes. You are alone.

[Siquo]

Zai, you may or may not post your first action while on the waiting list. 

Posting your first action will get you in the game faster, as you immediately get a spot when someone else dies (like Flintus10 got a spot in the first round already...)

[Archangel]

Unholster my pistol and jog towards the house, keeping a lookout for hostiles and things that might trip me up. If I don't have a pistol I'll look around for weapons.
