The Island of Giant Insects: Swarmed

I could have done without the "fan service", but otherwise I really enjoyed the manga and anime "The Island of Giant Insects", and with an eye for the manga in particular, I think it would be fun to explore, if not a continuation of that story (I honestly cared for very few of the characters), than a follow up.

Spoilers For Those Who Have Not Read the Manga

So, in the end of the manga, the survivors of a plane crash (high school students, mostly) had finally managed to escape the mysterious island crawling with gargantuan, voracious insects! Unfortunately, the neighboring island they'd gotten off at was now subject to be just as dangerous, because it turned out giant dragonflies had migrated from the original island when the other insects had adapted their behavior to avoid predation and ran out of people to eat.

It would be at least a few months after the events of the manga/movie, where either the giant arthropods themselves, or at least whatever caused them to become giant sized, have spread to other areas; society is barely managing to maintain itself, and only by changing radically, and large areas of earth, including several major cities, belong to the Insects, now. There are very few "Safe Zones", where coordinated efforts are barely managing to keep the Insects at bay, but outside of those, some are learning to either find and keep good places to hide, or live on the move, rather than wait for Insects to catch them with no way to escape.

So, anybody up for some insect themed survival horror?

noted, I'll do that

The Island of Giant Insects: Swarmed

Bump.

Also, writing up an OOC in a separate document, just in case this actually get's some interest and thus can go anywhere. 1 would be enough, honestly.

I like to write, so, fun either way. ^_^

Intriguingly's

ok, so, "dark Fantasy" sounds kind of like what I have in mind, with some adventure elements, as well. I didn't go into huge detail in order to have a couple surprises, so I hope this explains enough.

If we can get a couple more people interested, it can at least get off the ground.

Intriguingly's

@deia876latthere are going to be some horror elements, for sure, but it's not intended as a flat out horror setting. As for the "dark fiction/fantasy" question... I'll brush up on what that would actually entail, today (I'm up and getting ready for my day, otherwise I'd do it now), and get back to you on that.

Intriguingly's

Here's a dumb idea I'll offer up, and see who's interested:

Based on a short video someone made half my life ago, the story would center around an antique shop called "Intriguingly's", owned and operated by one "Lukewald Sludgemare". Nobody really knows him personally, or precisely when he came to town and opened up his shop, but it's there, and it's just as strange (and at times unnerving) as he is.

There is a special door, in the shop, that he warns new customers to not open (despite using the door himself). The story would begin when someone decides to disregard this instruction.

I want some RP

Oops, first posted this as on OOC thread; meant to do this in the interest check- can a mod delete the old one, please?

I"m looking to do some rp, it's been awhile, and I'm interested in some 1x1, as the pacing tends to be better on responses.

I'm open to fandom, I guess, but I"m not familiar with much current fandom, so I'd automatically be the dummy that prompts exposition.

Other than that, I like middle range fantasy (non human people included, some magic flying around but nothing like, say, Slayers where everyone and their mother is slinging magic about constantly), almost all forms of science fiction, horror, anime/manga inspired original stuff, post apocalyptic settings (if presented well). I've lost my taste for romance, recently.

I'm open to adult stuff, but if that's the only thing you want to do, please don't waste my time.

The only thing I like better than a good story is being a part of one, and actually seeing where it goes. If you're the sort to pick something up, and lose interest quickly, then again, don't waste my time.

either reply here, or PM me if you're interested, and be sure to mention what you are interested in doing. Man, Woman, any other identities out there, no problem, I just ask you to be over 18 (Frankly, I'd prefer one at least be 25; I'm 35 years old, and I just don't want to play with kids)

Modern Tales of Might and Mayhem

well, it's been a week since the last post IC, and frankly if I have to nudge and prompt player participation, I can't pretend the game is still holding anybodies interest. The writing's on the wall. No hard feelings, but I am going to go ahead and call it, here.
