[RP] THE STOCK TRADE [Game]

When you were newborns she came.

She came to gather you and rather came to fancy you, for twenty short years.

Not without a bit of tears, she dropped you here, at THE STOCK TRADE.

You all had six-letter names uttered by these strange white creatures she had around. What were they? [Proceed your post with your name in italics.]

You all knew each other quite well but were seperated at drop… so will you find your friends?

[Okay go! Events will start to happen soon.]

Esseex
I begin to walk around and try to figure out where I am.

It’s suburban, almost- a humid air with a low concrete ceiling, stalls everywhere, dirty people about and the sound of talking almost overbearing. An occasional hole in the floor is the only blue in the entire area.

Walking around for a bit you notice a multiple coated man on the ground spilling blood onto the metal floor. Nobody seems to be paying attention.

Esseex
I check on the coated man.

Without bending over you can already see anything you’d want. He’s dead and there’s a black carapacian knife in his spine, and he’s facing the ground.

Esseex
Take the knife. It’ll be useful.
Continue scoping the area out.

Well, better you than nobody…

Being a resourceful person you take the knife. It’s covered in blood, though, bright red and fresh. Not that it matters much now.

Around you are some dealers… one selling napkins and getting major sales, another selling some kind of meat, and the third isolated and appears to be selling the same kind of carapacian knife you hold, probably illegally.

Nicole

Check the area I’m at.

It’s… a bathroom, maybe. Run-down, and it smells like rot. Is that a hole in the floor???

Lauren

I’m walking around the place, searching for something to eat.

Keon
I awake, another early morning to make a living, however today feels different, so I quickly observe what is happening around me.

Lauren

Probably the most appetizing thing around seems to be the fish… roasted and breaded salmon surrounds the place. Eating the denizens of the sea? You’re sure Ancestor wouldn’t approve of this whatsoever. Question is, do you?
Thankfully, there’s some coins in your pocket, what looks to be fourty eight cents. Might buy you something.

Keon

There’s a hole in your damn roof.

A HOLE.

IN YOUR ROOF.

Oh god there’s rain everywhere and your bed is soaked.

Damn clock ringing! Shut up already! Who could have done this?!

Nicole

Check my pockets and stuff. Observe what I have on. Then check around the bathroom. The stalls and stuff. Looking for any thing useful. Check the surroundings. Any Doors or windows? Then observe the hole, how deep the drop.

Esseex
I try to find the others, those I have been with all my life.
I twist the knife around in my hand. Gods, I hope they haven’t gotten themselves killed without me. That would suck.

Lauren

Approaching one of the vendors, I show them the small change, but they shake their head. Just as I’m walking off, they call back for me and begin to cut a salmon in half.

Keon
After seeing a hole in my roof, I feel the rain and realize I’m soaked with a ringing in my ear. Probably some wise ass, or God with somethin’ against us blacks. Anyway, the hole can wait, I hunger, and thus I leave towards a major junction.

Nicole

Black shirt and some gray everything else… seems normal enough. A few coins are stuffed into your pocket, though. The hole leads straight to a pool of water that you can’t see the bottom of and looks like it’s leaking into the room as it gently sways. All the stalls but one are occupied, and the one that isn’t doesn’t have any windows in it to speak of.

Eseex

You wander around in the crowd in a hurry. Eventually you manage to find something interesting- a crowd of people are around a hole in the floor, using some kind of wooden stick to poke at fish swimming around in it.

Keon

You head toward Main Pass in the center, where all those good fish dealers happen to be. Your favorite Uncle Jack sells ’em for only a quarter each- well, only to the people he trusts. On your way you run into somebody [Lauren] having a tough time buying from a vendor…

Nicole

No doors or anyway to get out? Check the unoccupied stall for anything useful.

Y’skipped Lauren.

Esseex
Examine the area. Keep looking for people I know.

Nicole

There is indeed a door, but only after you’ve locked yourself in the stall do you hear it slam open.

Esseex

You frantically pace around and open one of the bathroom “doors” wide open. All four stalls are occupied, but one of them isn’t exactly occupied for the reason of excretion, by the looks of it. The person inside is standing on the metal toilet ring and checking the ceiling.

Nicole

Unlock the stall and see who it is.

Andrew

I wake up. I look around the area, hopefully finding stuff to sell. I look in my pocket to see how much money is in my pocket. I then look, hopefully for a knife.

Zade

Zade woke up, looking around for anything…. realizing he was in a stock market of all places.
