WELCOME PACKAGE




The message field is blank. When you blink, there's a red flash, and a rapid flicker of images. You open your eyes, and they're gone. Your imagination? They went by too quickly to identify, all you know is you're left with a sense of unease.


An hour passes, and your head begins to throb. When you close your eyes, the same sensation of flickering images plagues you. They're growing increasingly vibrant, you can recognize dim figures, flashes of eyes, teeth, viscera. It is a little unappetizing.


That night, you receive an email.

SIT DOWN


SIT DOWN




Whether you heed the email's advice or not, your fingertips start to feel cold. A tingling numbness spreads up your arms, overwhelming your body faster than you can properly react to. Frigid darkness blots the light from your eyes, and you fall unconscious.


You awake exactly 12 hours later. A chill permeates your body, as if icewater fills your stomach.


You have a message waiting for you on your phone.

It's only ten minutes away. Maybe you should go.


Dead End: You are newly employed by dark, otherworldly forces. Your boss is Mr. Death. Your task is to maintain the balance between life and death, to monitor the border between this and the underworld, and to file the appropriate paperwork.
 
This is very intriguing! Would you want to PM and talk plot and characters (etc.)?
 
Intriguing, but I wouldn't've opened any of those emails or checked any of my emails frequently enough for that to have worked... My suspension of disbelief is broken. =/


EDIT: My husband tells me that might be taken as trolling. I'm not attempting to troll. It is honestly interesting, but my suspension of disbelief was instantly broken by the idea of opening emails sent by someone I wouldn't know. Putting myself in the place of characters gives the same results. Perhaps there's more I'm not getting.


What's the aim of this RP?

I get email notifications that includes the first couple of lines of content, without having to open them.


The aim of the RP is to do some humorous/horror storytelling, as well as character development.

Oh, interesting! I'm definitely interested, then!
Thanks! You could definitely have your character exercise caution (not falling for the horror movie tropes) but still get roped in to it.

Can I play an ever immortal cursed pirate? Or can I play an ever immortal cursed nazi?

You could be a cursed pirate. You'd be an antagonist. And he/she'd have to figure out a way to blend in with modern society or risk getting thrown in jail for waving a cutlass around. Also, they'd have to be a historically accurate pirate, aside from the immortal curse.

Oh, I was kind thinking of an immortal cursed pirate doomed to forever serve Mr Devil after having made a pact with him.

That could work. Do you mean Mr. Death or Mr. Devil? Mr. Death is the boss that employs the people who were given mysterious emails.
 
Excellent! I'll put up a thread with a bit more information, if you guys think you'd like to write up characters.
