Primality: Act 1

So… what should the rest of us be doing?

@Crimson Flame

Going to the arena?

We have some people who are still conversing with other characters while other people wrote their characters leaving for the arena.

Primality: Act 1

_{i told you to stop spying}

Location: Wolkwitz Auditorium, Merryweather Institute

---

Sarah had sunk into her chair, almost as if she had been hiding. Of course, her father had to be mentioned in the headmaster's introductory speech. Even here, far away from their southern home, or she supposed her ex-home now, Sarah could not escape him. Her father was everywhere just as much as he wasn't. It was as if he haunted her, brought on by some otherworldly prayer to God above and to be reminder of her apparent and so-called sins.

She could only grimace when she had heard her name be called by their supposed teacher. Her eyes cautiously glanced about the auditorium, looking for any sign of murmur or tension in the crowd. Hopefully, with luck, no one at Merryweather was smart enough to put two and two together. Parker was a common last name, it could've been chalked up to coincidence.

"Sorry, Elena." Sarah replied to her roommate as the two before took their leave. Standing up from the chair she had been siting in, she waited for her opportunity to join the flow of people walking up the auditorium stairs. "Can you find your own way to the arena? I've... got something to do first."

Without waiting for her roommate to respond, Sarah took off. She hurried up the steps, disappearing into the crowd of students that were trying to find their way around the school. Sarah had needed some alone time; some time to think, process and refocus herself. Elena hadn't seemed like the nosy type, but Sarah's interest in entertaining any sort of concern or question had been rapidly dissipating. She didn't want to draw further attention to her familial connections, she just wanted to be able to be herself without her father's actions and memory formulating her life.

But once a Parker, perhaps always a Parker. You couldn't change your birth parents. People were bound to look down on her on either side of the coin. They were going to be a stain until the end of her days, whenever that was.

Once she was back into the courtyard, Sarah looked around until she spotted the arena in the distance. Hurrying along the path, Sarah made her way over to the arena and entered inside. Regardless of how Sarah felt right now, there were still several classes to attend today. She couldn't just simply not attend them because she had felt troubled.

Small Town Slice Of Life RP

I might keep an eye out on this but I have some stuff to finish first.

I was thinking the main focus could be the high school in town but I also think we could focus on some drama between adult characters.

@Ariathebard

I'd focus on one or another, personally. Otherwise you'll have two different groups in the same roleplay. One that is looking for a more "grown-up" SoL rp, and the other being people who want a slice of life school rp.

Snowrunners | A d6-lite Game

Count me in.

@rush99999

More the merrier :)

I think I'm going to look for a sizable group of 4-6 people in total. First come first serve might work better with my usual style of application deadlines, too.

How high can we count before a mod gets involved?

Snowrunners | A d6-lite Game

THE SETTING

---

The planet has steadily fallen into a new ice age.

Snowfall had increased. Temperatures continued to drop. Crop yields grew smaller.

Scientists were uncertain of the cause. Countless attempts to prevent the coming disaster failed, and the world was sent spiraling into panic. Governments abandoned their people. Panic buying became ever-so common. Neighbors didn't trust neighbor.

Then, came the parasite.

Adapted to chillingly cold temperatures, the parasite spread from the southern reaches of the planet. It took the world like storm, seeking to spread itself across the planet. Beings, human or otherwise, infected with the parasite would seek to spread it themselves through wounds, allowing the parasite to possess the host's body functions and further continue its rampage.

Faced with a zombie-like parasite on top of the prior ice age, the dwindling populace began to join forces. Civilizations were formed, created with survival in mind. Together, they have tried to stop their own extinction, yet death still comes regardless of how they try to stop it.

THE OVERVIEW

---

This is where you come in, snowrunner.

As a runner, your goal is to be a scavenger for your settlement. Food, medicine, weapons... perhaps even firewood. They are all your objective; the final scraps of a now dying world.

Using the one page d6-lite system linked here, you'll be making a character that is set to go out on an expedition with a meager group of their fellow scavengers. Your history, your appearance—nothing has to be in great detail. This is a simple and easy system, and there is a strong chance you'll likely die in the process.

Once everyone has made their character, I will generate an objective for the characters to go after. As mentioned prior, the goal of this roleplay will be for the cast to complete the objective and perish return home with their lives prize. When we're finished with the task that was given to the players, we can decide as a group if we want to continue on with the roleplay, or consider the mission complete.

If anyone has any questions, please ask. I've been interested in one page systems for some time now and I finally decided to take a stab at it, so I'm willing to work with things to better suit this group and/or roleplay.

Sup, Fellow Rpers?
