[You wake up on a cold metal bed in a room that is unfamiliar to you.

How long have you been out for? Why does your head hurt? Why can't you remember how you got here?

Before you find the answer to these questions, you might want to check out that hand-written note. There's one in every room.

Dear [NAME],

Thank you for volunteering to participate in the experiment. With your help, this project should be quite successful. My name is Huey Laforet, and I am the one responsible for this experiment. I will be here observing and the point of my project will be revealed by the end.

Your goal today is to find the exit. To do so, you'll need three card keys. However, to activate them, you will need the item listed on the card to move forward. You might not be able to find everything by searching, but certainly, there are other ways to get what you need. I've left them scattered about,

If you fail to escape by the time the experiment is over, you will have to participate in further experiments with me. If you succeed, then you will be able to successfully leave the maze.

I wish you luck. Try to stay alive.

-Huey Laforet]

♦ I'll have an IRC chat open if you'd like to chill with me there! The room will be called #labrats. It isn't necessary to be on there though, but I'll have that open for people to chat in!

If you've never used irc but would like to please go here. Click on server, and type "irc.lunarnet.org" without the quotes. In nickname, use whatever nickname you'd like! In Channel, type in #labrats :>

♦ I'll also have AIM and GCHAT. AIM is teutonians and GCHAT is confuzzled.kitti @ gmail (and likewise that is my email). THESE ARE ALL AVAILABLE IN CASE YOU NEED TO CONTACT ME. And plurk @ celifairy too of course.

♦ This is a game where your characters are going to go exploring! If your characters examine something, please wait for me to respond to it! I'll be stalking so don't worry about having to notify me. If you think I missed you (for example, if i haven't tagged you in like 15-20 mins), contact me!

♦ Your characters will need to find three cardkeys. They will have BODYPARTS listed on them. Yes, you are hunting for bodyparts. There should be enough cardkeys for everyone to find, but bodyparts will probably be harder to get just from exploring. Some will be more mild like a clump of hair, but some will be things like a kidney. Once you have them all, you'll be able to look for the escape route.

♦ Each character will have their weapons and items as long as they're not super overpowered. If they're like atomic bomb level or timestopping things, you'll probably lose those. Uniforms are fine as long as they aren't hardcore impenetrable armor. Basically if it's physical and not immortal, it's fine.

♦ Ditto with magical powers! Powers can remain on too. So for example,if you got some regeneration stuff going on, go for it as long as it's like...if you lose an organ, a new one doesn't suddenly pop up. But powers that aren't physical in nature, those might have to get nuked (time-stopping, haste, slowdown, etc etc).

♦ IF YOU HAVE NO WEAPONS OR POWERS, you are allowed to assume that you come with one of each. Things like knives, guns, swords, bow and arrow, etc. Powers can be like fireball, ice blast, etc. etc. Something simple but physical.

♦ HEALING IS OFF.

[As soon as you sit up, you'll notice that you've been transported into a greenhouse of some sort. While you can still see the plastic white walls that surround the room, most of it is covered in ivy from floor to ceiling.

On the north side of the room, there is a single table that stretches one end to the other, lined with several glass beakers and flasks filled with various liquids, one of each color of the rainbow: red, orange, yellow, green, blue, indigo, and purple. There is also seven jars filled with various plants and unless you're a plant guru, you probably won't know what they are. There might be something inside of these jars, but you'll have to examine them closer.

The east wall has a locker and so does the west.

There is also a door on the south side of the room.]

[As soon as you sit up, you find yourself in a room that looks quite like this.

Dirt and broken rocks litter the floor, making it hard to walk on without some sort of shoes. On the west wall, three open holes are big enough for someone to crawl through, but it's also extremely dark. On the east, there's a large window replacing the wall itself. However, to see what's beyond it, you're gonna have to get real close.

On the north side, there's yet another hole broken through but you can see orange light glowing in.

On the south side, there's a door.

There is also that chair in the middle, covered in dust.]

[As soon as you sit up, you find yourself inside of an empty indoor swimming pool. You can't really anything above the outer edge, but you can at least examine what's around you. On the floor, there's a lot of grime left with moss starting to grow in patches along the edges. You can see the drain at the very center.

There is a ladder on the left side of the pool and the diving board on the north end of the pool.]

[As soon as you sit up, you find yourself on stage in front of a live audience.

Well, maybe not live.

You do notice that you seem to be in a small theater however. There are about ten rows of five seats. and in each row, there are mannequins sitting in each of them. If you look, you'll even find one that looks like you! That isn't eerie at all.

On the stage, you can find a trapdoor and also a large movie screen.

There's also two doors on each side. One has a sign that says "staff only" and the other says "EXIT".]

...It seems I shouldn't have broken out the sherry last night.

[checking the note out...]

... What?

What kind of shit is this?

[ testing his hand to see if he can cover it in ice and nodding once he sees he can do it ]

[?? shooting a questioning look to. . . .who is this person, she has pink hair. oh well.]

[oh!! a cute girl. madoka smiles at her.]

Um. Hello. It looks like we're together!

[. . . tilts her head. . . . offers a nod, before looking pointedly at the note.]

... Apparently we're volunteers for an experiment?

[a thoughtful pause -- before reading the note to nill]

[wow what bullshit though.

frowning, looking around the area and then stepping to the window to check out what's outside. can we just get the hell out of here through the window or what.]

[goes with nill to check the window '^']

[ deciding to get up and check out the first row of seats, looking to see if there's anything there ]

[wh

what]

[Didn't he do this waking up suddenly in strange places thing already?]

Is this--?

[you probably shouldn't have]

Edited 2014-01-10 01:52 (UTC)

[if you look through the window, you see an expansive sky and down below is a chasm of some sort.

if you've got really good vision, you can see various bodies scattered there. what kind and what the status of those bodies are are a mystery]

[UM]

That's ... we can't really leave through here.

[things do freeze over!]

[the first seat is filled with five separate mannequins, all dressed in fancy suits and drseses]

[under the seat farthest to your right, you might find something there. be careful, the floors are sticky]

Edited 2014-01-10 01:55 (UTC)

[ FREEZING THOSE SUITS aw yeah ]

[ but going to walk towards that seat ]

[ ... ah ]

... Not even the courtesy to drop me in a full one? Jackasses.

[i am offended by these bodies. stepping back, and looking over to madoka. . . .but to trust you or not, that is the question]

[Lessons learned...Now lets examine those interesting jars. Starting, of course, with red.]
