IC: You are a food. Whether vegetable, fruit, meat, bread, peanut butter, haggis, or otherwise, somehow you have come to life in this cold, dark prison. And you don't like it in here! What's worse, you've seen other food--inanimate food--be taken from the refrigerator--and never come back! Thankfully, you've been fortunate enough to survive thus-far--but it's only a matter of time before you're eaten! Quick, you have to escape!
OOC: I'm the GM. I'll give you choices of what to do (your tiny food brain isn't very big, and you can only make limited decisions) and you'll choose which one to execute. Be warned, though! If you make the wrong choice, it may result in your untimely demise!
Character Template:
Name: Food: Be as specific as possible. Are you a carrot-stick or an actual carrot? Peeled or not? How long? Thick? Do you still have you stem? "Gender": I don't think food actually has a gender, but if you like to call your food "him" or "her", you should put that here. Picture (optional): They're always nice to have, just for fun.
Example Character:
Name: "Sammy" Spaghetti Food: A plate-full of cold, white pasta noodles. "Gender": Male Picture (optional):
Just so we're clear, no one gets any special powers or anything--that is, what you do must be "ossible" in real life (accepting the fact that you are now an animate piece of food that can move and think). For example, Sammy Spaghetti is limited to flopping his way around and grabbing objects with his noodles. (That just sounds wrong!) He can probably talk with a mouth-shaped hole.
Let's say someone is an apple. They could roll around and bump up against things to move them, and could probably talk with a mouth-shaped rip in their skin.
These are just a few examples. Go crazy with your imagination!
Your First Choices:
Choose one of these choices AFTER I've accepted your character to join in the game!
a) Try to open the refrigerator door. b) Search in the dark for the light-switch. c) Make noise.
Just as a side-note, you can always talk to other players in addition to your main action.
Name: Mea t-ball Food: small meatball "Gender": Female Picture (optional):[url=http://blogs.villagevoice.com/forkintheroad/meatball.jpg] (without the fork)
As your army of chicken wings hops about, you continuously run into different bottles and cartons and foods. Luckily, the refrigerator is packed tightly enough that nothing knocks over. Finally, on of the chicken wings bumps into the light switch in the dark. As he flicks it on, you see that you can also change the temperature of the fridge with a dial. Here are your next set of choices:
a) Make the refrigerator colder. b) Make the refrigerator warmer. c) Make noise. d) Try to open the door.
After about a half-hour of warmth, the horrible smell of spoiling food becomes almost unbearable. Suddenly, the refrigerator door opens! It's a teenage boy. "Oh, gross! Mom, the fridge is all warm and the food's ruined!" He says. "What the heck? There's a bunch of chicken nuggets scattered all over the place too!"
a) Make the boy notice you're alive. b) Lie still and try to seem inanimate. c) Make a run for it. d) Hide in the refrigerator.
>.< Hiding is already one of the options. You choose option D, then.
When you try to hide, the boy automatically notices you, the loaf of bread his mom was going to serve for dinner, hopping around and being most animate. The boy rubs his eyes. He blinks. "Mom?" He calls uneasily. "I think there's...I think there's mice in our bread!" He shuts the door apprehensively and runs off to get something to catch the "mouse" in.
