Did you know that people, mankind, started off as nearly brainless lugs that carried around clubs and had to hunt or be hunted? So when did they start to think for themselves? What triggered it? [color=1a7b30][b]"Why...hardship and difficulties are what expanded our minds."[/b][/color] A soft voice spoke into the large lab it looked overrun by plant life, but that wasn't the case, all the plants in her spacious lab were placed precisely to her wishes, although the plants weren't the draw of interest for an android that was walking around between twelve tables. No it was what was on the tables that was intriguing. [hider=Laboratory][img]http://orig06.deviantart.net/b6f2/f/2011/270/3/6/laboratory_by_dream_monger-d4b2rx9.jpg[/img] [/hider] Scattered around on the twelve tables in her space were human bodies, very alive humans, they'd only been knocked unconcious by a drug a homemade specialty of hers, and taken over 8-12 hours from all their homes and brought to her. Her real name was Persephone Salude, every gamer she'd brought to her though knew her as Dungeon Master, Admin, or Game Master and her wish to bring them here was because she desired change. For better or worse, the monotony of living day to day behind a computer screen had worn on Persephone which is why those men and women were unconscious on tables in her lab. [b][color=1a7b30]"Not for much longer though. I've got gifts for you~"[/color][/b] She spoke cheerfully as she skipped between the tables, even though no one could hear her but her robots, but soon, soon, even if they were angry she'd have people to talk to! Okay and she might have been a little crazy but genius can go such a long way. Smiling to herself she pulls a chip out of her pocket and hits a button on top of it, making it come to life with six crawling legs, she had 12 of them and they all wiggled and writhed, if they'd been awake she probably would have terrified them, but these microchips would protect them, from her androids and her security systems. Each chip was a designated color, their favorite color so when she dropped them on the unfortunate individual she stood beside; a man named Brent Young, when he woke he'd probably feel the crawling sensation all over his body. All the chips besides one scattered though, climbing to its designated target, she'd just needed a little DNA to program the chips. The green chip that was programmed to protect Brent Young stuck its little crawling legs into his stomach and attached itself there, firmly, impossible to remove except cutting your own stomach open...or if Persephone released the chip. The other eleven chips did the same thing, sticking and clinging to each individual, creating their protection and Persephone's ability to track them. [color=1a7b30][b]"Now my sweet little androids take them to Vita Isle...We're just about to begin."[/b][/color] ~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~ Pairings: Elijah Vannwood x Gloria Wallace - They are known as Team Halloween, each of them has a USB in their pockets that's black and says 'Halloween' in orange on the USB.

Once there are introductory posts Persephone will post again to tell the rules. For now, here are the places that you have been scattered to. Franklin Cense Goldman is located outside the entrance to The Caves alongside Tadei Ganhava, remember the caves are long and winding but since they're in the middle of a mountain range with no other way down the only way to escape is by going through the caves. There are several exits and entrances, but some could drop you into the underground river, don't forget to watch your step but also don't forget there is a cave that leads to water you can safely dive into to get to the Underground River! [hider=The Cave Entrance][img]http://pre01.deviantart.net/0aaa/th/pre/f/2017/117/5/d/echoes_of_a_cave_s_secret_by_anthonypismarov-d7epkyu.jpg[/img] [/hider] Alycia Demetria Roels and Gloria Wallace are located within the Underground River, near a hole where water is pouring into the underground river and high high above them is where the river from the Deep Forest bleeds into the underground, a little closer to the ground but well out of reach is a cave 35 ft above them. The exit is at the end of the long underground river but the exit takes you to The Beach, where it's safer. [hider=The Hole and the river itself][img]http://bitgrabbers.com/public/screenshots/thumbnails_large/thmbl_dearesther_2013-01-20_16-52-43-03.jpg[/img][img]https://db4sgowjqfwig.cloudfront.net/campaigns/133075/assets/556612/underdark_00.jpg?1455231055[/img] [/hider] Carina Rigel and Morgan Droud are located on the Beach, the safest place on Vita Isle, and an ideal place to meet up with their partners there's nothing overly complex about the Beach, but there is a rather imposing cliff face to climb if you'd like to go to the Village. [hider=The Beach][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/736x/d7/df/56/d7df569a4ec1b581badba07f7f33ff00--seascape-paintings-landscape-paintings.jpg[/img] [/hider] Brent Young and Akiko Darleenee are located within the Abandoned Hotel, it's only 3 stories high and is mostly intact...but be careful weather has made the boards weak and you could fall through, not to your death but definitely injury. Walk carefully and without loud noise. The Adandoned Hotel is located within The Deep Forest, which is closer to the Village and Beach than some of the other locations. [hider=The Abandoned Hotel][img]http://www.therookies.co/wp-content/uploads/2017/05/106139-abandoned-scottish-manor-unreal-engine-4-environment-18-1494261953.jpg[/img] [/hider] Elijah Vannwood and Rowan Kennicot are at the Village, don't stay for too long or the dead will come to haunt you. The Village is outside of the deep forest, which is to its west but going east will take you to the Beach, although if you go that way you'll have to scale a cliff face to get to it. The Village itself is still intact, no one, not even Persephone knows how or why the villagers suddenly vanished but she has seen their ghosts or so she believes. [hider=The Village][img]https://s-media-cache-ak0.pinimg.com/originals/85/74/c9/8574c9b4a23a4fa104d07224c219d3c6.jpg[/img] [/hider] Diana Regalia and Mackenzie Prang are in the middle of the Deep Forest, the river can be heard disappearing into the Underground River, and the forest seems almost too quiet, it's also fairly dark, leaving shadows everywhere to hide the predators in this forest. Though most won't attack unless provoked or threatened it is best to be cautious in this area. Despite its scary nature the forest is quite beautiful but be cautious, it's best you figure out how to survive in your current environment quickly.
