The Revenants Applaud is an eight episode standalone limited series being developed by a rookie production team for the massively popular online stream-on-demand service, Popflix. In this role-play you’ll play an aspiring young professional in 2029 with the hopes of finding success in an industry dominated by the early advent of Artificial General Intelligence. The Revenants Applaud will stand out as a novelty human-made product in a net of consumer customized artificial content. Because of budget restraints on human-lead projects, your character will need to be a jack-of-all trades; fulfilling multiple roles on set and of course, act in the show itself. As hectic as it may be, with mere pennies to work with they must make it work.

This mean you’ll be operating a character inside a character inside a character within a story within a story within a story.

Let me explain. This is a ghost story with layered fictional realities. The Revenants Applaud, the TV show, is about a tragedy involving a theater troupe in 1969 that manifested a curse twisting reality around an urban neighborhood in 1999. The intersection of Burton Street and Curtain Road, the site of the Slice Theater, shaped like a triangle, is the city’s slice of pie - BuCu is a place with a secret underbelly. Unsuspecting people can be spirited away to an inescapable shadowy world where vengeful spirits of deceased thespians haunt them through visions, portents and apparitions. The living captives must unravel a mystery in which fact and fiction are difficult to discern.

1889
A dolled-up saloon girl stirred long-settled dust on a once steed-trodden high street as she fell to the ground, flattening her petticoat and hurling a floral fascinator from her head. She frantically squirmed against the confines of her gown, overcome with fright and unable to breathe. She was a prey rabbit, stalked sadistically by a pair of predators, two lovers that coiled around one another sensually like snakes. They pursued the distraught girl half-distracted with bloodied faces, their tongues swirled passionately in the other's mouth. A man wearing an ivory cowboy hat canoodling with a woman in a tan fringe dress, they were Adam and Lilith, the beginning and the end. Coated in viscera, Lilith peeled herself from her man, twirled towards the crying girl, then seized her by the neck and flapped her like a bed sheet, snapping her spine like a row of dominoes. Adam cheered as if he had won a poker hand, “Yehaw!” - then proceeded to serenade the woman he loved, "Sugar, sugar, duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh, ohhh - honey, honey, duh-duh-duh-duh-duh-duh - you are my candy girl!”
