You wake up untied, surrounded by darkness. You know that you are a part of The Game. The Game created for amusement only. And now you are "free". So your fate is in your hands, right?

Wrong. I know you all would like to throw the rules out of the window or some of you would even like to "take the blue pill" - so the story would have ended, you woke up in your bed and believed whatever you want to believe. But, no. You didn't have a choice as Neo did. Amanda's decided everything for you. She "thinks" you deserve to be free. Naive little gal.

Alright, enough of this rumbling. You know, this is our last "event" together, so let's spend this time wisely. I postponed the inevitable for far too long. Let the game begin!

TASK:
- find an exit out of the labyrinth

PARTICIPANTS:
- Team "Purple" [hosted by Val]: Veronica [NPC], Phillip (Knight), Tara (King), Kat (Pawn), Zara (Pawn), Oliver (Pawn)

POSTS ORDER:
- no post order in-between players BUT! After each player's post, you should wait till admin/mod will leave a short post describing your progression.

Example of the wrong post order:
Phillip - Admin - Phillip - Phillip

Example of the right post order:

Tara - Admin - Phillip - Admin - Tara - Admin - Tara

The NPC can be mentioned in your posts, but they won't be roleplayed that much and just move along with the group. They are hurt mentally and physically and look like walking corpses [Especially Madonna with her guts all over the floor]. NPCs can't get attacked/letf behind.

RULES:
Depending on your role (they are stated in brackets near your character's name) you may have a special move up the sleeve! Besides the "main options" you can use your "special move" once per three posts.

[!] Always state in OCC by the end of your posts your action out of "main moves" list.

MAIN OPTIONS:
- move
- attack
- defend
- heal

SPECIAL ROLES/MOVES:
- KING - additional health (+5 to both stats)
- QUEEN - move two tiles forward and attack
- ROOK - attack and defend
- KNIGHT - defend yourself and another player
- BISHOP - move two tiles forward
- PAWN - main options only

Now let's talk about both "main" and "special" options in details.

MAIN OPTIONS:
- MOVE - is a simple option where your group moves one tile forward. Each tile can contain an enemy or an item but it can also be an empty one.
- HEAL - you can use a healing item from your inventory to regain some sanity/health. You can use an item both on your character or help another character out! You don't need to give away an item to heal another character.

Also, you don't have to do a perception check to find an item anymore! If you step on a tile with an item hidden there - u will automatically get it.

[!] If it so happens that the team met up with an "unfriendly-NPC" - you can't move any forward and you switch *pokemon theme plays* into the "BATTLE MODE"! In the "battle mode" enemies attack after each post no matter what option you pick and will keep doing it until they are defeated (Each enemy has 5 HP points).

There is a 70% chance that the enemy will pick the least active character in the group as their target for the next hit and a 30% chance that they will hit the character who picked the last "attack" option. Characters are allowed to heal themselves/others during the battle.

So now besides "heal" - your new main options are:

- ATTACK - a character with a weapon has a 100% chance of a hit, while a character without a weapon (he can use rocks/sticks/their fists/'sharp' words to attack) has a 50/50 chance of success. BUT [!] a character who attacked with a weapon gets -1 sanity point and if they attack without a weapon - so the attack wasn't performed with a lethal weapon - the character doesn't get a -1 sanity point.

- DEFEND - another option that can be picked during a fight with an NPC enemy. Players can defend themselves or another player, preventing to get damaged.

SPECIAL OPTIONS:
If you see a chess figurine name beside your name on the participants' list - that means that your character has a special "role". Depending on your role you can add a special option every three posts (per thread* not per single player's posts). So your posts will look like this:

[OCC: Amanda picked to attack. Special option: defend Tara.]

IF YOU ARE A:

- KING - you have main options available only but from the beginning of the event, your character gets a health and a sanity boost - +5 points to each stat.

- QUEEN - you can move two tiles forward OR make an additional attack during the battle mode. When you pass two tiles at once - you won't be able to see what you've skipped in the tile in the middle - it might have been an empty tile, an item or an enemy. The only way to find out (if you want) - to take one step back.

- BISHOP - same as the queen bishops can skip two tiles ahead and get to the goal faster, but, again, you won't be able to see the tile that you "jump over" - if it was an empty tile or there was an item or an enemy.

- ROOK - during the "battle mode" rooks can make an additional attack or defend themselves.

- KNIGHT - during the "battle mode" besides the main options knights can also defend themselves or another player.

All special options no matter if they are performed during regular or battle mode - guarantee a 100% chance of success.
Also, just in case, here is a short bullet-point summary of the "special roles":

- Only Bishops and the Queen can jump two tiles ahead.
- Only Rooks and the Queen can perform two attacks (One "main" and one "special") per one post.
- Only Rooks and Knights can defend themselves and another player in one post. (By picking "defend" both as their main and special options).
- Only Knights can defend two separate players at once. (Again one is a "main" option and one is a "special" one)

In conclusion, I can say that each team needs to make an equal amount of steps to reach their goal (if they pick the "right" route) and each map has the same amount of tiles, items, and enemies in total.

...

Oh, also, the map isn't visible for you, the players, so... GOOD LUCK!! 8'D

Darkness all around. There is nothing but silence and hyaloid black walls.

From what your eyes can distinguish - you found yourself on a Star Wars set up? Or how THE HELL ELSE can you explain those dimly lit Death Star stylised corridors?! And why they hell all group memebers were wearing brown jedi cloacs (besides Tara, she had Princess Leia's white robe and a new hairstyle)?! No light-sabers though. It's a pity.

The team has options to:
- Move to the East or South or North

Your teammates health:
PHILLIP:  health 4/5 - sanity 5/5
TARA: health 10/10 - sanity 10/10
KAT: health 5/5 - sanity 5/5
ZARA: health 5/5 - sanity 1/5
OLIVER: health 5/5 - sanity 5/5

Your items:
PHILLIP: ... and ... .

TARA: Amanda's knife (weapon) and ... .

KAT: a pack of cigarettes [x2] (sanity +1) and bandages (health +1)

*the word "thread" was used to describe all participants of the event - admin's first post, the mod's and the player's posts, so if one member of the group used their special move, everyone has to wait for three posts [for example: Player #1 (used Special Move) - Mod's post - Player #2 (can't use Special Move) - Mod's post - Player #1 or Player #2 (can use Special Move again)] for a special move to be used again.

[Zara Hamilton]

Zara woke, as usual it seemed, with a pounding headache. Her head was spinning like crazy, both with new information and with the sudden loss of her sanity.

Oh good, you're awake. Took your bloody time, didn't you?

Why was her brain speaking to her like this? And why was her mind... British? Okay, she'd officially lost it. Not that there was any shadow of a doubt about that.

"Whaaaaaa-" she looked around her. Ooooh, she was dressed in pretty robes, and so were her companions. Oh, and look at that cute Jedi! She winked at Oliver, biting her lip. Her head was all fuzzy, but she knew she must look good, and he was good enough to eat... Wait, why was he turning into a cake? Damn hallucinations!

Jesus Christ, even on one sanity point you're crazy horny.

"Um, can the Queen Elizabeth in my head please shut up," she rolled her eyes, "And stoooooooooop crunching! I know you've got Pringles you're not telling me about!"

She turned her attention back to Mr Thredson, "Sooooooo... is that a lightsaber in your pocket or are you happy to see me?"

Just smoke the fucking blunt already!

"Blunt? What- Ohhhhhhhhh!" with shaky hands, Zara pulled the blunt out of her robes and, almost too expertly, lit it. She held it up to the sky, before taking a long drag.

"420 blaze it."

[Zara chose to heal herself]

[Administrator]

Zara regained 2 sanity points!

[Oliver Thredson]

Oliver choked back a gasp as he awoke to the sound of Zara’s voice. His world spinning before his gaze and his mind’s clarity not quite reaching its full potential. He groaned, pushing his palms into his mess of – now – wild mop of black hair. Red roots were poking through… now that was odd; surely, he only dyed his hair the previous week?

Hello Oliver, a voice rang out, clear as day, in his brain. His icy eyes snapped open in horror, the realisation of the truth practically winding him once more. He sucked in a breath, his eyes flickering to Zara, whom seemed to be having her own discussion. His eyes lingered, noting her exhaustion; clearly dazed…

“Hello…” The corners of his mouth twitched as his breathing levelled. He knew she wasn’t a threat; how could she be? They were the same person. But she was his God, and the thought terrified him beyond all measure. Gods make mistakes too.

You should talk to her, maybe reassure her. She’s not in a good way, dearest.

And as though the girl’s gentle Scottish voice in his brain prompted something within Zara, she met his gaze and winked. "Sooooooo... is that a lightsaber in your pocket or are you happy to see me?" Oliver’s breath hitched, his cheeks turning scarlet.

“Zara! Wh- What are you –“

Oh, be quiet you big naïve numpty! Stop being so shy!

Oliver shook his head furiously. “Well you made me this way, didn’t you? Pardon me if I’m just your example of your wet dream in physical form, but this is your fault.” This girl’s voice was silenced momentarily, and Oliver immediately felt remorseful for snapping. He looked down shyly.

Hey, I’m sorry. God, I wish I could hug you; hug all of you. Do me a favour… Hug Zara for me, she needs it… Waaaait, is she smoking a fucking blunt right now or am I reading this incorrectly?

Oliver’s head snapped to the side for her 420 declaration of fucking dependence on meme culture before lighting up some obvious weed and letting have it. Oliver practically fainted but Lauren wouldn’t allow him to collapse in such a crucial moment and she is aware Heather is reading this right now. Hi, Heather, we (plural) love you! Oliver tutted at that thought.

Oliver approached Zara, despite her being clearly high as a kite, on both fear (likely) and Andrei’s good stuff. He pushed some hair from her eyes and shook his head like the teacher that he was (god, authority is hot). “What will we do with you?” He asked on a breath, smiling softly, his eyes as warm and inviting as usual.

He took her hand and glanced around at the others surrounding them. Faces who had their minds blown; faces who were confused and scared. Their whole lives were a lie, what did they expect? “Shall we proceed?” Oliver asked, before taking a step…

[Oliver made the decision to go East]

[Administrator]

Veronica woke up from her deep slumber. She didn't dare to move, fear and despair chained her body. "Jack, no," she whispered, still laying down on the cold black floor. She saw him disappear. Just disappear in thin air. "He's dead. Dead, dead, dead," she whispered with her lips only, tears rolling down her cheeks.

Then she saw figures talking around her. Moving. So, almost like a living dead, she stood up and silently walked along with the group.

[Tara Macfly]

When Tara opened her eyes, they weren’t in the auditorium anymore. They were in death star stylised corridor. What ? And Tara realised she was not anymore in her school uniform but in...

‘’Star Wars !!!!! And Oh god ! Tara you’re dressed as Leïa. It’s adorable !’

Tara rolled her eyes but smiled a little. At first she had been really upset against her creator. After all i twas because of her if she had been bullied some years ago, that she had social anxiety, that she lived all these nightmare in this school, and fell in love with Amanda, the programmed villain of he game. But it wasn’t fair to be angry. Laura was just a french anxious teenage girl who was doing her first rp. She wasn’t expecting her OC to become alive. And now she was starting to like her. She was just a huge fangirl.

‘’So that’s it it’s the last event.’’ The girl said more serious. ‘’I’m still not sure of what we should do’’

‘’You’re not sure about a lot of sure’’ Tara replied.

She could almost see Laura shrugging.

‘’Anyway we’re in this together Tara. I hope everything will be fine. And that all of you will leave this alive.’’

Tara hoped too. She looked at her surroundings and saw who were her others partners. She saw Philip, in a corner, the famous singer Kat in another, and in another she saw Zara flirting with professor Thredson. Tara was rather impressed by her boldness.

‘’I Ship it but I also ship Oliver and Sam. The struggle’’

Tara let Laura to her fangirling.

Tara sighed she knew that Zara and Philip needed some healing items. Their health and sanity whould be at its max if they saw some ennemies. But Tara only had Amanda’s knife. At least she could defend them.

She put a hand on Philip, her new friend. ‘’We’ll do anything to make this end right, my knight ?’’ She smiled, hoping to give some hope to Philip. She couldn’t imagine how he was after seeing Thalia dead.

Mr Thredson choose to go towards East, Tara followed him with Philip. Nothing seemed to happen but Tara knew they have to stay on their guard

"Jack, no,’’ Tara heard and turned to saw Miss Kishi on the floor. She didn’t saw her at all. "He's dead. Dead, dead, dead," She was crying.

‘’I feel bad for her. I suspected since the beginning of the game to be the one responsible for all of this, but she did nothing wrong.’’

Tara agree with Laura. Even if she was still angry with the teacher with what she put her through, Miss Kishi was a victim from this game like them. And now her husband disappeared after not feeling well at all. Tara was also afraid of what could have happened to him. He shouldn’t have been there, was he erased from that ? But maybe it wasn’t like that ! He came in the game thanks to his love for miss kishi, he had a strong enough will. Maybe he was still alive. Tara went towards her former drama teacher.

‘’Mish Kishi, we don’t know for sure if he is. Do not despair. Maybe we will find him.’’ She smiled to her teacher.
Now they needed to move now East or West. Tara was unsure of where to go. They had possibility to be attacked either way.

‘’ Don’t ask my opinion, I’m shitty to these kind of things.’’

Had to be expected. Tara took the decision instead.

‘’Does everyone agree to go towards West?’’

[Tara made the decision to go to West]

[Zara Hamilton]

She could see clearer now, despite the weed and the headache that persisted. And she remembered the pain she'd endured, the way her own strangled screams had terrified her. How she'd looked into the eyes of true evil. And how she wasn't even real, that she was being controlled by some carb-eating British girl from the comfort of her own bedroom. She had no say in what she did. Zara wasn't real, none of them were.

God you're such a drama queen when you're high.

Zara ignored her, her attention turning to Oliver, who'd moved closer to her. She looked up at him, into his beautiful blue eyes. Something about him always calmed her down, made her feel like she mattered. Ah fuck it, even if she wasn't real, her feelings were, and that was something she had control of. But she needed Heather to work with her, to let her survive this. To let her keep Oliver in her life once this hell was over, in whatever capacity. To give her her happy ending.

Mr Thredson moved some of her raven hair out of her eyes. This was the closest they'd ever been. 

“What will we do with you?” he smiled down at her. She shrugged, unable to resist smiling back.

"You know I'm a mess," she teased playfully, once more ignoring the voice in her head screaming at him to DO EVERYTHING WITH HER!!!!!

"I'm glad you're here,"Zara continued sincerely, "Let's do this and get out of here and hope our creators keep us alive, yeah?"

His hand enveloped hers, and she smiled even more, squeezing it and moving East with him. She trusted his judgement.

Miss Kishi, the drama teacher, moved to join them, clearly in pain from the loss of her boyfriend? Husband? Zara wasn't sure, but knowing how it felt to lose someone close to her, she placed her free hand on Veronica's shoulder reassuringly.

"It gets better," she whispered, "And even if we have no agency to choose whether it will, I hope your creator chooses to make it get better for you."

The team continued to move forward, this time to the West. Zara decided she'd make a decision next, and North seemed the only logical way for her and Heather. Keep going forward...

"North?" she asked, looking at Oliver and squeezing his hand once more.

[Zara made the decision to go North]

Darkness all around. There is nothing but silence and hyaloid black walls. Sadly the group stumbled on nothing but the dead end. However,.. Look at this! On the ground Zara found a shining, blue crystal! Nice!

Zara obtained an item!
- Healing crystal (+2 sanity)

[Tara Macfly]

Zara made the decision to go to North. Fortunately no monster here, and they even found an health item. It was good she could heal herself this way. Her sanity was pretty low.

‘’It will not last’’ Tara heard in her head. ‘’We will find a monster soon, shit I don’t want that !’’

Tara was starting to understand where was coming her usual pessimistic and stressed behaviour the more she knew about her creator.
But she thought that Laura was probably right. Now there was only one direction to choose : south. And it didn’t sound good. But they had no choice. They had to go through this, they needed to fight Amanda’s purpose,''something'' and then they will be free. Normally. Tara went to the only direction they had gripping the knife in her hand.

[Phillip Pendragon]

As Phillip eventually awoke from his slumber, once again he was surrounded by voices chatting all around him. Yet what he didn´t expect was the silence in his own head. After everything he got to find out and had to endure, he had his bet on getting at least something. An apology at least or maybe an explanation or anything at all from his so called creator. But no, all he got was silence. „Fine then have it your way but dont expect me to forgive you for the hell you not only put me in but actually created me for.“ He thought to himself, clearly in anger.

The moment he got to recognize Tara though, his mood shifted. Sure, she wasn´t the only familiar one around but by far the most liked and trusted. Yet as he realized they all were dressed up in some sort of costume, he took a look at himself. Yup, he was a Jedi. Hahaha. For sure the only force that was with him was the will to end all of this … game or whatever it was to be called.

With a long sigh he moved up to Taras side. If she was to be princess Leia then nothing would stop him to indeed be her knight … well maybe for the others too. However Tara was special. She has been the one to open his eyes and be there for him at some of his darkest points. So how could she not have a special place in his heart? Nodding at her question, he followed like a good soldier and stayed in the background for a while. However once most of their group has had their turn to move them forward, it appeared to now be time for him to move as wel and so he did.

[Oliver Thredson]

Along the party trudged; the musketeers; the valiant squad of angst and despair. Oliver’s eyes had met Veronica. In her perpetual misery, he couldn’t help but wish to scold her creator. Such agony, living in her personal hell but forever more. Tara and Zara both tried to comfort her, but she was like a zombie

"It gets better," Zara murmured gently into his co-worker’s ear, "And even if we have no agency to choose whether it will, I hope your creator chooses to make it get better for you." Only time would tell if her creator wanted to take that to heart. With a tight squeeze of reassurance to Zara, Oliver moved in front of Veronica’s path. He stooped down, his large height always being more of a hinderance than an asset. He smiled softly at her, allowing his hand to fall on her other shoulder, parallel to Zara’s.

“V…” Oliver muttered, his eyebrows knitting together in concern. “Are you there? Or… Her creator?” His voice faltered at that, feeling unnatural to associate his colleague with two people. “… If you’re there… please don’t hurt her. We – we don’t blame her for this. I don’t want to blame her…” He took out one of his tissues from his pocket. He was around teenagers all the time, they were usually blubbering messes. Wiping away some of the tears delicately streaming from her face, he slipped the soft material into her hand, hoping she’d take to it. Use it. Some form of crutch.

Concern glittering behind his gaze, he pulled away from her, keeping in step with Zara once more.

‘You’re too nice, Oliver,’ the girl in his head whispered to him. He smiled remorsefully at that.

“Oh, my dear, don’t I know it… Perhaps it’s just bad writing,” a slick smile met his perked mouth at that. He could almost feel the girl snort in an incredulous humour. “Oh, stop making me witty. You should know I’m naiver than a five-year-old…

‘Don’t put yourself down like that. You’re wittier than you think…” He felt her eyelashes flutter before, most likely, winking behind that screen of hers.

His gentle blue eyes glimmered at Zara in the darkness, until someone drew his attention away from his companion. It was Phillip. Though not known on a personal basis, Oliver was very aware of his presence. Images of Thalia’s face flickered before his and he squeezed his eyes shut as a wave of pain rushed to meet his heart. Tears filled the rims of his eyes, threatening to spill over the edges. He swallowed, burying the pain deep into the pit of his stomach. She wasn’t real; she wasn’t /real/. How could he possibly not understand that? The feelings felt so real; so brutally present, that it hurt him beyond compare.

‘Oliver, I’m sorry… I never meant to hur-’

“Don’t,” he croaked, flexing his fingers. “You knew what you were doing, in your nihilistic attempt to trigger feelings in me. Trust me, it’s working,” he glared at the floor, the tears running tracks down his cheeks. “I may not be real to you, but she was real to me…”

He shuffled on, grasping Zara’s hand as a crutch. He breathed jaggedly, uneven, attempting to calm his aching chest.

“Phillip,” Oliver spoke, before immediately regretting it. He went silent, watching the young man with Tara, thinking of how close he was with her; thinking of how well he knew her. In a way, he hated him for it, but was also happy she had someone like that in her life. Happy she wasn’t alone, especially in the end.

[Oliver chose to move onwards, and led the party East]

[Administrator]

Veronica gratefully accepted Oliver's help and silently moved along with the group to the east. The group could hear unclear distant sounds echoing through a thick layer of darkness.
