It was half-past six, and the sounds of cars shuffling through the street filtered into the air. Horns honked, people screamed, and the birds that dare defy the depravity of the world sang a song for those who cared to listen. The city that never slept rumbled into the dawn of the new day. It was not an important day, at least to those who stumbled through the streets below. It was the fifth day of the eighth month of Octaber, and the cool crisp air of the morning betrayed the forecast for another brutally hot afternoon. Across the city, a sound that defied explanation ripped through the halls of many apartment buildings, homes, and complexes. The sound tore many away from their dreams as it echoed for an eternity before it disappeared as quickly as it arrived. While many would come to try and inspect what had caused the disruption, you were the first to find it. In front of your door, you find a small black box with a note tied neatly to its top. The box itself was ornate, black in color, and weighed more than its size suggested. Around where the box sat, the ground was burnt. Yet as the box lingered, the burning would start, stop, restart, and revert. The smell would linger, pull back, rush forward, and be as if it was everywhere and nowhere. As you picked up the box, the strange sight would stop, and the ground would become normal once more. The note on top of the box would be equally strange. The ink was fresh, and as you pulled the paper apart, it would smudge. As you read the note, it would seem like this message was for both yourself and others. [hider=To whom it may concern][center]Hello from the future![/center] [center]You don't know this yet, but tomorrow the world will experience the end of time.[/center] [center][i]It won't seem off. There won't be this significant build-up of military forces, nor the threats of an imminent war. You will start your day today as you normally would. Whether that means going to school or to work. Before you know it, you will be back home, in bed, ready for the day that follows. Tomorrow, and you will go about starting your day once more until time can't. You will get back into bed, fall back into the sleep that you had just awoken from. You will get out of bed and undo all of your bedtime routines before going back to the day you had just lived. Day by day, second by second, you will grow younger and younger, still blissfully unaware.[/i][/center] [center][i]Time itself is reverting. It is twisting, and turning, and going backward. Day by day, hour by hour, we grow closer to the end of time itself. If you have received this message, that means that you can help. We can't stop it today, but we can tomorrow. If we can make it to the point where this catastrophe started, we can revert the damage that has been done. I have the tools to do this, I have the experience to get us there and back, and I know how to fix time itself. Though I can't do this alone, trust me, I have tried.[/i][/center] [center][i]I know what this may sound like—the mad ramblings of an insane person. I promise you this is real. I know I will not convince you with my words alone, as such I have sent two gifts. The first will look like a watch. Put it on, and it will guide you to me. The second is something that you will remember from your past. This item was essential to you in some shape or form until it was gone. Inexplicably it was removed from existence with nary a trace to suggest where it had gone. This may have been traumatic for some of you. Sorry.[/i][/center] [center][i]I will see you soon ~ J[/i][/center][/hider] As the city rumbles awake to greet the new day, and with the uncertainty of what tomorrow may bring, will you heed the call? Or will you go about your life with a strange story to tell about these odd times? - - - - Hello! I have had this idea for an RP for a while now, and have finally decided to try it out! The world will be unique, the story as well, and we will get up to some time hijinks over the course of this run. I don't plan to do much with the OOC besides expanding the world more and adding some basic information for the tech. If you have any questions, feel free to reach out either here or with a PM! I will be editing the formatting a bit over the next day or two to have some fun.
