Fate… Fate is a tricky bitch.
The Boston industrial district, a glowering pinnacle in the battle to prove that without outside assistance human beings could trump the most awful things from every child’s nightmares. In the dark of the factories hidden between the hundreds of carcasses of dead animals, put through impossible tortures in life, and worse in death there was a beautiful artistry to this place, in the efficiency with which the human soul was broken into tiny pieces and blended back together into a slurry of fuck. It was the Mona Lisa of human depravity painted in blood, sweat, and shit…
And they say nothing beautiful ever lasts…
The area stretched for miles and miles and endless collection of huge warehouses steam powered distilleries gathered like wasps around the equally endless docks and piers. It was a good three days as the crow flies from the center to any of the, bridges that connect the huge island of East Boston to the mainland.
It’s almost a pity that it’s so removed from the mainland, the place unlike the rest of the city lost none of it’s original charm when things went bad, but nobody comes here. In most of the world the demons starved and died out but here, here in this maze of mesh and metal and fermented death. Here they were still quite alive. Here there was nowhere to hide or live or go but that they would fine you. Here the heat of coal fires that still burn quietly keep them warm in the winter, the rotting flesh feeds them, the echoing streets and warehouses give away you’re steps, and your breaths. Here the only thing that lives are them. The only thing that could live here are them.
Cross knew better than anyone in the world that this was a hunting ground for demons an inescapable harem of death and slaughter. Cross would never, have led himself to this godforsaken place…
But Fate… Fate is a tricky bitch.
So me and Riley talked and the plan is that at least the two of us are going to end up here. We've worked out her reasons for going there. And the thought was that perhaps Charlotte already lives in this area already with Ben, meaning that you two would know eachother, but it's up to you guys.
ReplyDeleteBut so I posed this as a game without rules so here are the current game objectives and rules.
Rules:
1. This area is horrible, survival here is a difficulty, and all possible should be done to avoid the demons here by any sane character.
2. Your next post should either establish or move you towards connection with another character, this could be actually you guys bumping into eachother or it could just be you referencing some type of knowledge of their existence.
3. Comment on someone's post if you're intending to write the next section.
4. Try to make the updates short and quick.
Bonus Points
(Anybody can do this this is like requests of things you'd like other people to do to help play along with your vision.)
1. Involve someone getting killed by a demon in East Boston (10 points)
2. Follows off a theme from a previous post especially the post before it.(I.E. Fate is a tricky bitch. Or generally just talking about fate.) (5 points)
3. Involves hiding from a demon (5 points)
4. Talks about the bridges into Boston (10 points)
5. Has bonus point options at the end of it (20 points)
Also as a small point none of the rules are really rules they're just my goofy way of trying to move things together I'm not actually going to be giving rules about anything that would be silly but it just amuses me to pretend this is a video game.
ReplyDeleteI'm no good at video games >.<
