Writing Tales from the Game [PG-13]

[COLOR=TEAL][SIZE=1][CENTER][U]OtakuBoards: Tales from the Game[/U][/CENTER]

I?m in two camps about posting this but I figure it?s better to try than not to so here it is ^_^. This is going to be like the Reanimatrix thread James has got up in that this will allow people to write little stories about their OB ?Alter Egos? [If you want to call them that] before I get the actual RPG up. Anyone can put a story here but I advise you read the Underground thread first so you get an idea of what Enter the Game is and what the OB Island actually looks like.

This RPG isn?t as dark and dank as others might be so the stories don?t have to be all nasty with the violence :p, they can be comedy stuff [Like Enter the Net] your character going about his/her business on the Island with an OB twist...you get the idea, basically anything so long as it?s PG-13 and has relevance to the Enter the Game idea.

N/B: The M.L.D. stands for Member Location device and I?m gonna use it in my first story and for reference it looks like a Scouter from DBZ.

[U]The [I]O.B.[/I][/U][/CENTER]

Jokopoko sighed deeply as he put his hands behind his head and stared up at the convincing sky of the OB Island, the illusion would have been perfect had it not bee for the green HTML streaking across the sky every few minutes. It even rained HTML coding on the island these days.

After the ?accident? Jokopoko?s post count had gone up faster seeing as it was easier to get around the island than the boards themselves yet sometimes he missed sitting in his comfy leather chair hammering away at the keys while munching on any kind of food. Sill nothing could compare with the Island itself and he?d happily lose it all again to get the OB Island. His day-dream may have continued had he not been snapped out of it.

?Hey, are you awake today?? Kane asked him as sat down on his left side.

?Yeah I guess so...just reminiscing I guess? He replied, a lop-sided grin appearing over his avatars face.

The human-sized Wheeljack nodded his head solemnly before the lights on the side of his head flashed blue rapidly as he laughed. Jokopoko glared at him be decided not to make anything of it and made himself see the funny side to it before talking again.

?Listen we?d better get going, we don?t want to be late like last time do we?? He said, a sweatdrop appearing on his forehead.

?Hell no, I don?t want to go through that again? Kane replied with some seriousness for a change.

The two friends picked themselves from the bench on RPG Boulevard and made their way to the Tube Station at the end of the street. The street was pretty long but it didn?t take them to long to get to the tube but just as they were getting in Jokopoko saw a signal coming in on his M.L.D.

?Hold on Gav...Andy?s coming? No sooner had the words left his mouth then the red colour scheme of an Optimus Prime avatar came bolting down the road.

?Hi guys, sorry I?m late,? He said with a sweat-drop on his face plate, ?I got stuck in the Underground, are we ready to go??

Both of them nodded and Jokopoko stepped into the tube first and said clearly: ?The [I]O.B.[/I]? and in an instant he was shooting across the island at a phenomenal speed which he would likely not be able to stand in the ?real world?. A few seconds later he was on the beach with the other two behind him and the O.B. club was a little way down the road.

[CENTER]-===-[/CENTER]

The reason Jokopoko disliked the functions at the [I]O.B.[/I] was that he couldn?t stand some of the elitist members who had several successful RPGs under their belts while he had a scant few. The Moderators where usually fine but then again he didn?t know that many so he couldn?t make a full assumption on them.

He made his way through the crowd on a beeline for the drinks bar but he almost collided with a six-foot wolf on its hind legs before he got there.

?Ack, sorry about that Solo? He said and again a sweat drop appeared on his face as he offered and hand to the downed wolf.

?Heh, no worries Joko. Hey, you?ve got some gum on your jacket there, better sort it out? Solo said pointing to an area on his black full length jacket.

?Ah blast it must have been on the floor. I swear I need to reformat myself twice a day? Jokopoko said as he activated the key-board on his arm. For an instant the Anime Neo was replaced by a dull-grey Mannequin as the image became pixeled as the foreign object was removed from the picture. For a split-second as his image flicked back a warning came on the M.L.D. that said in bold red letters ?VIRUS DETECTED? and it beeped shrilly.

?What was that?? Solo asked, an inquisitive look coming over the wolfs face.

?Nothing...I think is just a glitch in the M.L.D. Sorry about knocking you down but I?ve got to get a drink?.

Jokopoko carried on his way but he couldn?t get rid of the nagging feeling that it hadn?t been a glitch...he?d talk to Shinmaru about it later seeing as he?d designed the M.L.D. in the first place.

^_^;; Might not be too good but that?s what this thread is for, to make us good! So this is open for everyone else...come on it ^_~.[/COLOR][/SIZE]

[Vicky]

[SIZE=1][B]Sorry for the lack of detail at the start, lol:[/B]

Sighing lazily, Vicky lay back in her chair and glanced around the small apartment. Things seemed pretty boring most of the time, sure Sands of Time was getting somewhere for once and Battle Stations looking promising, but no one was doing much. She wished there was something exciting going on, like n00b spammers for once. Hell, you got a few newbies on who didn?t know what to do, but they were okay. They didn?t do much damage, but the spammers did. And that was the exciting thing about it. She thought for a moment she should get some of her friends from school to join because they would have no idea what was going on, but she remembered they?d mention her name?

?Hmm? maybe I should go to the Underground and see if there?s anything new there.? She mumbled to herself, scratching her chin in thought. As she thought of this, she also remember she should change her avatar once in awhile, since the same old ?Girl Wonder? Robin avatar was getting boring for her. Though she did kinda like the look, Robin was her favourite character.

Vicky sighed again and got up in a huff. She was rambling on in her own thoughts, again. Some very strange things had been happening to her lately, like getting lost on OB, VERY often.

?On second thoughts, I?ll leave the Underground out, I?ll skip straight to RPGing.? She said to herself, smiling joyfully. She just hoped this time she didn?t get lost by mistake which she always did.

--

The Underground. Defiantly not the Adventure Square? crazy comic book stacks all over the play, comic stores and even nightclubs. The black-market of OB?s RPGing world. How Vicky got here, she had no idea.

?Aw crap? Not again?? she moaned to herself while scuffling through the OB members crowded around some writer guides. She felt a little odd in the Underground, because she didn?t post as often and it was indeed like a black-market. The crowds of OB members at certain parts of the Underground and the emptiness of some parts just freaked Vicky out sometimes? Sighing again, she decided to do something while she was here, but first she looked around like she did every time she came to a new play in OB. There was a sort of club ahead, followed by a few more rows and comics and market things you?d find in the Underground. More members passed her, making the place seem uneasier.

?Hey, what are you doing here?? a voice said. Vicky almost jumped out of her mask when she heard the voice, but was relieved when she turned around. Methuselah was behind her, grinning.

?I? got lost.? Vicky said, continuing to walk down the black-market.

?You? got lost?? Methuselah asked in confusion.

?Yeah I got-? Vicky started a reply, but was cut off when a large OB member knocked her back a little. The stupid goon didn?t even say sorry, but Vicky just gave him (or? it) an evil snarl then continued. ?- Lost. I dunno, I was going to do some Role Playing, but lately I?ve being going to wrong way and stuff. Heh, you?d think I was on an island, not a forum!? Vicky laughed at the end of her sentence then paused. ??Oh, I forgot.?

?Well, anyway I was just checking out Jokopoko?s new RPG idea.? Methuselah said. Vicky thought so. That was how they knew each other, really.

?Ah, I was going to look for something to do while I was here, so I might as well go check it out as well.? Vicky sighed again, going to shove her hands in her pockets when she remembered she didn?t have any.

[I]Yep? definitely time for an avatar change? [/I] she thought to herself.



[B]Well, that's all I got. Sorry for dragging you into it, Methuselah. I needed to pick a member to drag into it, lol. And also, about the getting lost on OB thing, that's true. I keep clicking on the wrong places and forgetting were my Private Messages link is.[/B][/SIZE]

[Ezekiel]

[SIZE=1][COLOR=DarkRed]The Underground was certainly the best place for Methuselah to be these days, at least until she changed her appearance for the umpteenth time.
Currently she was in the form of Alucard from Hellsing, and as many know, being a Vampire whilst on a sunny, virtual island isn't a very good thing. Methuselah looked down at Vicky and chuckled,
[B]"That tight suit must get very annoying."[/B] she commented, totally innocent in her mind and yet she received a semi-glare from the other member. Then she realised, as a girl that comment would have been laughed about, but since she now looked and sounded like Alucard, with the fangs and sadistic smile to prove it, she supposed that her comment was not appreciated.

"Of course, I didn't mean it to be offensive.... in any way.... Vicky...." Methuselah trailed off and sighed, her broad shoulders slumped as she gave up.
[I]I can see that this will be a problem....[/I]
Vicky shook her head and ran a hand through her blond hair, adjusting her mask, [B]"Never mind, let's just get somewhere a little less crowded."[/B]
Methuselah grinned, [B]"No prob..."[/B] she said, her now deep voice dripping with sadistic humour. Within a flash, the vampire had pulled out two guns, Joshua and Jackal, and was currently pointing them in the direction of Jokopoko's new RPG section.
Needless to say that the path was cleared pretty quickly.

[B]"Sorted."[/B] Methuselah laughed and grinned broadly, striding forward through the other members with Vicky walking beside her.
[B]"I think you enjoyed that a little too much."[/B] the girl wonder sweat dropped slightly as the pair strode into the rather empty allotment that Joko had set up recently.

While Vicky went to read some information, Methuselah set about bringing up her keyboard to check where everyone was. She noted that Joko was with Kane and Solo, but who she really wanted to find was...
[B]"There he is!"[/B] a couple of members gave her strange stares, worried that a member taking the form of a sinister vampire armed with two guns was now acting like a giddy schoolgirl.
[B]"What?"[/B]
[B]"Nothing."[/B]
Someone laughed.
[I]Note to self: Change appearance....[/I]

After a long time of reading ideas and fighting her way through crowds, Methuselah finally made her way to the door leading outside. She pulled her hat down lower and put on the well-known orange glasses, making sure that her red trench was pulled tightly around her. She stepped outside.... only to be swamped by Hellsing fans.[/COLOR]

[B]OOC Okay, that was my attempt, sorry it wasn't too good, but hey, I'll get better![/B][/SIZE]
