Today life seems just the same, a hurdle of contradictions. Everything changes, nothing stays the same, yet you still call it by the same name. You can't walk twice into the same river, because the water you were in is no longer there, but geographically speaking, the river is still there, despite its main component being different. Things are promised, it's partly or not at all done. Human emotions clash and battle within one weak container and, despite their intensity and power, the body does not receive much harm, unless it causes pain to itself through outside help. The television talks about Global warming, but it's getting colder. People try to help and are called insane. Those who sin are saints. No wonder the two words start with the same letter. It's all the same every day. Someone dies. Someone is born. One person gains. Another loses. Those who can't handle the swing carousel of life simply fall off. The winners of the day are the ones who can be as sssweet as a snake. Yet we talk about rights, about telling the truth, about honesty. They say that every rule has an exception, but doesn't that mean that that rule has an exception as well? Humanity prides itself with the growth of communication, with the breaking of distance and language barriers, with how easily one can reach another. However, we begin to lack in basic speech when talking to someone face to face. And even now, as today brings the same ordeals in our ordinary lives, it's said that everything changes and everything differs from second to second. The further we swim in the stream of life, we both develop and fall into degradation and depravity. The more powerful and advanced we become, the more unnecessary we get in life, for we disturb the natural order. All of that happens each and every day, but most of us, if not all of us, don't notice it at all. If it's so easy to hide, to mislead and deceive, who knows what lurks in the shadows, where nobody dares to look.
Yet, none of that matters now, does it? Today will be repeated tomorrow. Everything is changing and stays the same. A world of contradictions. If there really are a lot of contradictions, is there one, which contradicts the world?



What this will be about: After that little intro, I'm sure you got almost nothing. Well, this is an Int.Che. so don't expect me to write down everything XD In any case, allow me to explain what this story will be about.

One day, you receive a message on your phone.
message said To: (insert character name/username/address/e-mail)
From: 1.73
Topic: News
Hello and good yesterday.
Here are the news for our lovely city.
06:00 A number of newcomers have arrived. Please, threat them nicely~
10:30 The weather will be perfect. Indigo Square will have a sky of wonderful velvet. The vegetation in Last Part will continue growing uncontrollably. Aquatwist will be busy as always, but due to the overall sunniness, the chance of shadow-consumers is low. Akasan will have a medium fog snake factor. In the rest of the areas, everything shall be splendid as well.
13:25 Orangada offers 25% off on the drinks. Remember to get one, since the atmosphere will get warmer.
15:35 Construction on the new skyscraper will continue. Please, be wary of falling objects.
16:30 A murder will take place in Underpass. The murderer will be William Low.

Remember, keep your keys in your pockets and treat them with respect.
Have a nice yesterday~


Of course, you think it's something ridiculous, like junk mail, unless, of course, you believe in the almighty power of randomness. Once you close the e-mail, you get another notification from your phone. This time it says "Key App Installed". Never wanting such an application in the first place, you quickly check through your list and find it, an icon you have not the slightest clue about. There are three options.
If you chose to ignore it, the phone will keep beeping until you give it some of your oh-so-precious time.
If you were to attempt to delete it, you will feel the sensations known as a headache and fright, for you will not be capable of deleting it.
In the end or in the beginning, it all depends on you, you will open the app. What comes up is not a trickster's prank, something frightening or more spam. Simply an online shop where everything displayed to you is completely free. Not a dime at all. However, all the pages except the first one are locked, thus you can not browse around. The shop offers numerous keys, which look like those your great-grandfather used to have, but dug up and restored with a few adjustments and they always have some sort of keychain along with them. Overall, a place for fancy keys. Your basket has only room for one item and the no-price offer has no expiration date.
If you were to close the app again, your phone will keep sending you reminders. In the case you decide to simply throw the thing out the window and get a new one, you will receive the same message and go through the process again. Don't be rude to the poor phone, this isn't its fault =< In other words, you will be forced to 'buy' a key.
Interestingly enough, about 5 minutes after you chose your desired object, your doorbell will ring. Upon opening the front door, there will be no one there. After closing it you will notice a package on the table, desk, bed or simply a location you enjoy most in your home. Yes, even the toilet. By now, you're either freaked out, keeping your cool or insanely happy. Once done with the unboxing, you will find a smaller box, which corresponds with the fashion of the key inside it. Other than that, there is, remarkably, a note with instructions. It reads as follows:
1. Use on any door, gate and lock.
2. Keep in a dry safe place, away from small children, pets, your parents, other family members and basically anyone you know.
3. It's suggested you let the key sleep in its box.
4. Do not molest the keychain. An auto report will be sent and you will receive punishment. \(`0´)/
5. To link up the key with your phone or Ipod, simply get them close to each other.
6. Do not tell anyone about this, otherwise the key will unlock you, which results in releasing your soul from your body.
7. Play nice (☆^ー^☆)
Simple enough. At this point you can continue as if nothing has ever happened, but, honestly, you have to be at least a little curious about this nonsense. Regardless of the time period, once you insert the key into a door, if you were to lock it, in most cases, nothing will happen other than a strange voice starting to speak to you in your head. If you were to unlock a door, the moment you push it to get on the other side, you'll be transported into a whole new world. The scenery will instantly change. If you live in an apartment, you will still be getting out of the apartment which belongs to you, but will be in a building totally different in comparison to your original dwelling place. The same goes for houses. Everything will change, but everything is the same, because it's different with the exact same core.





Places
Basically some pictures of the places you'll be able to go. =3

















How I came up with this: This is what happens when you try to ignore your studies and start wondering random things XD

I'll wait for a little more information before I make a decision on joining or not, but I am interested for now. Also, can you describe the rules of the game a bit more? Can the key holders leave this other world whenever? It is implied that those that do not kill suffer some sort of ill fate, is this true?

EDIT: I feel this is dead, I revoke my interest unfortunately. :(

WAIT! Sheesh, a person can't have personal issues. Due to the site being down and my own schedule, this week was a little busy for me and I had time to only write a reply to one roleplay I am currently in. This isn't dead =3 It's just that I couldn't work on it until now. However, it's the weekend, so I can get this in shape. I'm currently wondering how to fix the picture problem I'm having and getting a video on the page. I'll get some info going as well =)
