The stage lit up in the modern oversized theatre. All stage light shone down on the empty stage before, at least, empty of people. The rest of the theatre was dimmed, now in darkness. On the stage sat eight sleek black Lazy-boy chairs, each adored with a silver motorbike helmet. Though the helmets were not physically connected to the chairs, each one did have a cable sticking out of the top, which ran back and into a human-sized piece of computer machinery. The chairs were placed in a row, face forward, and split in half so that there was four on each side on a two metre wide gap.
Down below the stage, in the orchestra pit, were four easy to use touch-screens. Each one currently occupied by the first four competitors - Ahana, Mav, Layla, Opal - who were create their game character they’d be playing as.
The first two rows in the audience were reserved, with only half of the sits filled. These were the other eager competitors from around the globe, wanting their chance to prove themselves too.
There came a booming voice from all around the theatre, with no voice to place it to,
"Welcome to the biggest game and competition ever to be hosted!
Welcome to… Cursed Survival!"
“For the few of you eager gamers who have signed up to attempt our twenty levels in order to win a billion dollars and become the world’s undefeated gaming champ… Good Luck!”
“Whereas, for the rest, those who are just watching, from either our audience or your own living rooms… you are in for a game of adventure, mayhem, and most likely death. But only for those who competing, don’t worry. They know what they’re signing up for.”
“Soon we will be starting. When the first four have completed their characters, they may make their way up onto the stage and claim one of the left four seats. Please use the stage stairs on the left.”
“Once the helmet is on and they’re relaxed in their chair, the game will begin and what they see and do will be shown on the left-hand movie screen above their seats. BUT only if they either compete the game or die, will they be release from it.”
You’re welcome to post for your character completing their game character and heading up onto the stage and stuff. Then when you have, please head to the Discobot Dice Roller thread and roll a D4 and a D20?!
