Chapter 1: Abnormal Days
Attention! A body has been found! That's right, a body has been found! Report to the hallway on the way to the cafeteria! A body, I'm so proud!
[Maybe you go to the hallway. Standing in fear is Lev, staring at Jakub, who is holding Tony's bloodied corpse.]

Chapter 1: (Ab)normal Days
[You woke up somewhere. A classroom, maybe, or a hallway, or even a cafeteria. Regardless, you woke up. You remember entering the famed "Hope's Peak Academy" as a Super High School Level ____. You opened the doors, that's right, but... then what? Then you woke up.]
[There's a note next to you with a map, leading from your location to an auditorium. Next to the map is written in nice, flowing script, Come immediately!]
[...Well, what else are you going to do? Some way or another, you find yourself following the simple map and entering the auditorium. There's a large stage with a projector and a screen, and the rest of the students are filing in. Everyone looks like they've just woken up, as well.]
["Is this Hope's Peak?" you might think. But before the thought can finish in your mind, a voice you've never heard before booms from the auditorium speakers.]
All the kids have woken up! They’ve all gathered, just like lambs to the slaughter!
[The projector whirs and a display on the screen flickers to life. A young man in a dark room is grinning into the camera, leaned forward in his chair. He's completely dark - a shadow in a shadowed room - but for his bright teeth gleaming like silver.]
Hmm, judging by your faces, you didn’t like that analogy? Don’t worry, I’m just commending you all on a job-well-done – following directions and doing as you’re told is a key aspect in a successful high schooler’s life. Stop looking so sad! There, try following that direction!
Now, take a look around. Do you recognize anyone? [He pauses, giving everyone a moment to do so.] That’s right, you’re all strangers, never so much as passed a glance over one another. Yet you’re undeniably connected, both in the school you attend and the fate you share. Here at Hope’s Peak Academy, where only the best of the best are enrolled, you all must share in the joy of a connected string of fate! Together, you all will dye it red with your hearts.
...Ahh, so many of you look confused or perturbed. [He sits back in his chair, shaking his head.] Let me explain things in a simpler way: Mutual killing. If you want to get out of here, you’ll have to work for it. No free-loaders! All the doors and windows are locked up tight, and I’ve got cameras watching your every move! If you so much as touch the locks on the doors, I’ll blast you into disrepair! So, to get out, it’s easy! Kill one of your comrades, make sure no one knows, and you’ll get to go free! It’s so easy! Any one of you has the ability to kill, I know it. That’s what’s so beautiful about humanity. It’s inherent since your birth, that ability to fight and kill. It's one of my favorite things about you.
[There's a giggle from the speakers.]
Oh, I can see that look in your eyes, you want to know more about how to get out, right? Well, here’s the nitty-gritty: First, kill someone. Second, everyone gets to look around and make their own opinions. Third, everyone goes to trial. Fourth, everyone votes on who they think the murderer is! Now the path forks, you know, since you can be right or wrong, never both – if you managed to pick the right culprit, they will be executed! Fail to choose the right person, and everyone but the culprit will be executed! What a cunning culprit! And they alone shall walk free! That’s just what we call Natural Selection. You do know humans must obey basic laws just like all other mindless creatures, right? Right!
So, about this school... [He steeples his fingers, thinking.] You’ve each got a bedroom to yourselves, with a built-in bathroom. They both lock, by the way, they can only be opened by your card... Oh, there’s a laundry room, too! I wouldn’t want anyone getting smelly. And we’ve got a cafeteria! Don’t worry about where we get the food from, I assure you it’s all organic or whatever... Ahh, whatever, you guys'll figure it out in due time. You're high schoolers! It's time to start growing!
...Oh, I got so caught up in this stuff that I completely forgot to introduce myself! You lot can call me Yuri. Don’t forget it! If you need me, I’ll be there in a heartbeat. Anyway, enough about me, it's time to meet and greet! You'll all be living together and killing one another, so it's best to get to know everyone first, yeah? I won't distract you any longer.
So, carry on your fate, your joined destiny of mutual killing! Show me your humanity!
[The monitor shuts off, and his grinning face fades from the screen.]

[In your pockets is a small electronic card. It can only be opened with your fingerprint. Once unlocked, the card displays your name and photo and information on your height, weight, chest size, and Super High School Level title. The same information on your classmates is also displayed on a different screen within the card. The school rules are also displayed on the final screen.]

**Preparation Post**
We are 1 week away from the launch of the DR thing! I'll be putting up the introduction post on June 16 2013 at 4pm EST in this community. Don't worry about not being online just at that moment; that post will likely be active for a good while.
Couple notes:
＊On the intro post, comment with a top-level comment with your character's reaction. From there, you're free to tag whomever you like. If everyone has a top-level comment, it makes it easier to track threads and such, IMO. Please thread-jump if your RPing gets long in order to save our resident German's heart, however.
＊A few people have expressed interest in making accounts, and that's totally OK! You can use an account or anonymous replying; it's whatever your happiness level is. With an account, you'll be able to get e-mail notifications or, if you still prefer to play as anon, track threads and get e-mail notifications like that (the track icon is the small bell on the right side of comments). Dreamwidth still has free account-making, so it's whatever you want to do! With an account, you can also subscribe to this community and get e-mail notifications for when a new entry shows up.
＊Just to have it in writing one more time and avoid confusion, here's the general flow of the RP:
--(Ab)normal Days: The casual time. During this period, you are free to RP with anyone in the created post, investigate, whatever. This period ends when there is a murder.
--Abnormal Days: The investigative time. During this period, characters will examine clues to discover who the murderer was. This period ends with the descent to the trial area.
--School Trial: The judgment period. During this period, characters use the clues they've gathered to discern the identity of the murderer. This period ends with an execution.
In regards to murders: When you wish to murder someone, either PM this account (![[personal profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/user.png)
iruy) or DM me on Twitter (if you don't know my twitter then I don't know what to do with you). Tell me the victim (pls contact the victim ahead of time and tell me you did so), time, and method of murder, and I will make a post at the end of (Ab)normal Days when things seem to be quieting down of the murder scene's existence, details within it, and leave it. Anyone is free to stumble upon the scene. Once more than two people have witnessed the crime scene (other than the murderer, of course), Abnormal Days will begin and (Ab)normal days will end.
NOTE: If you were the victim but you still have ongoing threads, feel free to finish them, of course. It might be easier to know how they end beforehand, though, in order to give people alibis or desired interactions.
That's it! If you have any questions, comment below or message me through PM or DM. See you in a week.
