That's alright. I've been sick and not on as much lately plus I think the activity rule is only going to kick in once the meeting starts, as the start was kinda sloppy. Speaking of, I believe everyone is there besides TheWorldThatNeverWas' character so once they get there it can start. Not going to rush it for a little longer, but hopefully we can get started this weekend.
The driver was shot. Someone died before them. They're going to die. There was no getting out of this. They were all going to perish. He was probably going to be first. While not completely weak he wasn't exactly strong, either. That's why he could never stand up to bullies. Or anyone really. They were higher up on the food chain. And now he was at the very bottom. He was weak. Too weak. He was going to die with nothing to show for besides a news report. Better than nothing, but with how unremarkable as he people were just going to glance over his name and pay more attention to the others. His greatest fear. Dying and leaving nothing behind. Not even a child or a masterpiece of some sort. Not even a note for someone to find and read or a letter to his crush finally confessing everything he felt towards them. Nothing. The only way anyone will remember him now was if he won. But the chances of that... I don't want this. I don't want to die. I want to live. I want to be remembered. Now in the corner, breathing heavily, was Ethan. Up until now he was silent and appeared as if he was handling this well. But now everything just broke down. They were caged and collared like animals. And now one of them had to set up to die. I don't want to do it. I don't want to go. I don't- "I'll - I'll do it." Sudden and strong relief. The debate of accepting death and wanting to live was put off, even if only for a few minutes. Someone else was going first. So even if he died now he wouldn't have been the first to go. That would make him more memorable at least. Though shortly after these thoughts and feelings was remorse and disgust. He truly had to be a horrible person to be glad someone else was going. That did not stop the smile though. But as soon as he noticed it a frown followed. OOC - Kills - Alliances - Injuries
Oh, ok. Well it's not active anyway and all important things will be posted in the OOC thread too.
I was wondering if you had a skype so I may add you into the Billionaire chat.
You[/url] hear horrible stories all the time. Kidnapping. Murder. Frightening things that can make one think and worry, but in the end it is still hard to imagine it happening to you. At least this was the case for Angie. Never in a million years did she imagine this happening to them. To her. Her life had been a good one, happy even. Sure there had been issues, scares, but to be in something like this still felt surreal. Like she was dreaming. Even as they walked binded and in the dark she felt like it wasn't real. This wasn't happening. It was a dream. It had to be a dream. This wasn't normal. This wasn't right. Her breathing had been strained the entire time. But as they were herded into the room she remembered her training. A runner and swimmer had to have good breathing techniques. It was the only way to win races. To swim long distances. So she began going through them in her head, hearing her coach's voice guiding her as the zip ties were cut. It was soothing. It felt like she was imagining this while with her coach and the team. She would tell them if it were not for the looks she could get. But maybe they'd laugh. 'Yeah, as if that'd happen here.' A reassuring statement from Kelly. She liked Kelly. She was hardly popular or had many friends and the ones she did have were not close. But if Kelly were here she'd feel better... Because this was real. It wasn't a dream. She became certain of that as the others began reacting. Cries. Confused statements. Panic. It was real. It was real. It was really happening. Closing her eyes tightly she moved away from the others. They were going to try and kill her. They could not be trusted. Not while they continued to break down like this. Though Libby looked level headed enough. So once she opened her eyes again they fell on her. Out of everyone she thinks...she'll stick close to her for as long as possible. She would be useful. She was, after all, the smartest in the class. Then she could run. She could run and run, perhaps lasting through the shocks until she was out of range. It seemed unlikely but... Maybe. She just needed an opening. A clear path... A chance. Until then she was focusing on her breathing, lightly touching the collar to ensure it really was there, before beginning her stretches. It might look out of place, odd even. But it was one of the only things that worked to clear her mind. If she didn't do it she could be breaking down and crying like that other girl. That would put her in the spotlight more so than this. Plus this would help her run better... She needed to run. OOC * Kills * Alliances * Injuries
For every new comer who didn't go inside City Hall or missed the signs the voice on the hidden intercoms would play, leading to the right path. It was not played in the courtroom, but if used they would hear it distantly. In the meantime Evan decided on a seat in the second row, trying to find a spot where he believed he'd be able to hear everything without the need to strain his ears or move closer. This included hearing the other people here, for their questions and comments could end up important. Or at least amusing, such as the guitar guy's just now. "Unless that is the reason we are here. Legal stuff... oh boy. Hopefully we don't need to take some kind of oath." He perked, opening his mouth near instantly. "I hope we don't have to deal with any legal stuff. My dad was a lawyer and that was all he talked about; I'm so done with that." At first it began as muttering, but upon realizing the others could probably hear it he raised his voice to a normal speaking level. After that the girl talked. He nearly introduced himself on the spot, but that wasn't towards him. So he was going to wait his turn, if it came. location: city hall/court ○ mood: curious/tired ○ ooc: n/a
After a few moments of staring uselessly at the water Evan began heading back in. He was going to return to his room for a bit. However he didn't make it. Upon hearing a crash his mind changed. It was probably some partier. Drunk or seriously hungover. They were not fun to deal with. Annoying, really. So turning around. The weather had been fair ever since they got here. No cloudy days. No rain. Just sun, sun, and more sun. It was acceptable with the cool breeze balancing out the heat most days, but boring. Evan had always been a fan of rain. And storms were fun, though more relaxing for whatever weird reason. Hopefully it'd change, because he wasn't sure if his skin would handle this much sun well. He'd have to invest in sunscreen... Weather related thoughts oppuciped his mind the whole trip, making the strain on his legs forgotten until he reached City Hall. Man. He could use a chair or somewhere to sit down. Also a good exercise routine because he apparently he had been too lazy this past week. And just when he started looking for a bench or something of the sort a voice could be heard, sounding like it was coming from an intercom but no speakers were in sight. "Looks like we have some early arrivers!!" Arrivers...more than one... Looking around again and he spotted a female close by. Naturally he had seen her around and if they spoke he surely told her his 'life story.' Aka a new set of lies each time they talked. But he had trouble remembering names and just what he told whom or even how much he said. A horrible trait he needed to work on but didn't care to here. He did know the stories he told this week though. That his father was a pilot whose plane crashed on an island and he was stuck there, becoming a man of nature until rescue. His mother being a native. Or that his family were in a traveling circus, forced to rob people because they had nowhere else to go. That is until their parents couldn't take it anymore and took down the ringleader. Fun tales. "If you wish you may go inside to the set meeting room. Just follow the signs!" After giving the other lady a nod and waiting to make sure nothing else was said Evan headed inside. Surely enough there were signs leading the way. Out of curiosity, however, he did try a few doors along the way but each turned out to be locked. The only one he could open was one that led to a fancy court room. He didn't take a seat right away despite his weariness. Instead he decided to wait to see where the other would sit despite ignoring her up until now. location: city hall/court ○ mood: calm/tired ○ ooc: n/a

12:00. City Hall. Today. A meeting or something was going to happen then. For an event. For this game. A game. It's kind of funny, that their lives are literally games now after hearing 'life's a game!' so many times from his brother. Maybe that's why he came here, so he can finally see the world like his brother did. And, well. One million was a nice incentive too. But with just that Evan felt as if he would have slept in late and missed the meeting. But with his brother in mind he was attending it. Even got up early. Hours early. That gave him a lot of time to spare. So he showered, ate, checked the news, and soon found himself wandering the halls of the hotel which had been their home this past week. It had a gold and red theme. Red carpet with golden swirls, yellow walls, bright and large light fixtures. Basically, in his opinion, it was ugly. But man was the pool tight. He never swam in it. Didn't know how. But he would go out daily to watch its surface. Just to relax, mentally preparing him for the day. Without watching some form of water he would go through the day on edge. Didn't know why. But ever since he was a kid it somehow found its way into his habits. And now he just can't deal without it. Call him weird or whatever. He honestly couldn't care less what most people said. Thus we have a fully clothed boy, hands tightly wrapped around the strap of messenger bag as if he feared theft, standing about a foot away from the crystal clear pool. Thinking. Debating on what he could do to waste more time before the meeting, unsure of his choice still. location: liv's housing ○ mood: calm ○ ooc: header by hyuge
Everyone has been added. The RP Thread is now up. It is open for posts. Everyone will have some time to interact and explore as there is about two hours left until the meeting, which was announced the day before. Please note that the locations are important so it'd be best to have that information in your post. Depending on what everyone does will affect when I start the meeting, but the default time should allow everyone enough time to post.
{ banner by hyuge } { OOC Thread }Welcome to The Billionaire Game! It's funny what rich people will do to entertain themselves, isn't it? Some throw over the top parties, others hunt extoic animals. However this one went a bit further than that and started a worldwide game! He, whose name I regrettably must omit for the time being, has sent strangers from across the globe some money. One million each! As one of the randomly selected Players you will find the money in your bank account. However, none of it can be spent until you reach the first playing field; Field A, a city created for the sole purpose of serving as the gaming grounds! Wow. Rich people can sure afford a lot! If you do not wish to play the game you may simply not show up. But if you don't then all that money will disappear! If you do, then the game starts as soon as you enter the town! Now, every game needs rules. Ours are simple. -Once you run out of money you lose the game. -You can buy whatever you can imagine. However some special items may need tokens to buy. Tokens being earned through events and other means. -You can trade purchases, exchange prizes, and give away or take money. -If you lose the game by any other means than running out of money or you quit all of your purchases and money will be given to the remaining Players through a roulette system. As for the goal of the game? Well that's up to you! So long as you are playing you may do as you wish. There will be events, hidden treasures, and so much more to keep everyone entertained! So relax and enjoy a peaceful life. Or have fun and go wild! The choice is yours! From your hostess, your caretaker, your medium to our sponsor and forever at your service, Liv the summary On January 1st this letter arrived to you one way or the other. Even if you were off the grid, hidden away from society. Even if you did not have a bank account you found the money as well, the account information included within the envelope. Some ignored it, threw it away, maybe even burned it. But you did not. You either want to live a luxurious lifestyle or you are curious about the man behind it. Or maybe you're just bored. No matter the reason you decided to go to a nearby location described in the letter where a driver took you to the nearest airport, no matter how far it was. From there you flew a private plane to your destination. Not a cent of your one million was spent for travel. It has been a week. You've been living in the town such as the letter said you would, however you desired. Well, mostly. The first week does have some limitations such as the housing. But it has been promised that once everyone who arrived is counted that you may move wherever you want! Now, on the start of the second week, there is an announcement of the first event! Today, at noon, you are asked to meet at city hall for more details. Be sure to check it out!
Accepted. I'll wait for hyuge and to see who else might join before starting now.

Today, at noon, you are asked to meet at city hall for more details. Be sure to check it out! the path to the first field { location names are links to images } First and foremost please consider all other people in the city as NPCs. You may interact with them as needed but they should be nothing more than background noise, so to speak. The only people there to form bonds with are the other Players. At the start of the event it will be made clear to you which people are Players and which aren't. Until then there will be no plenties to befriending NPCs. But from then on we advise against it. - A note from Liv City Hall - In the very center of the city. We shall be using this for all meetings! Unless stated otherwise they are optional, but it's for the best if you go to all of them! From here the city is divided into four sectors. The list of buildings and their details will be added as needed such as when someone mentions where their character lives or have their character explore an area. Also note your character can decide to buy any building in the city, including shops. Message me for any purchases relating this. Sector A Sector B Sector C Sector D The north part of the city and business area. All shops, restaurants, hotels (which now act as housing), and the like can be found here. As well as the hospital and clinics. Liv's Housing - Free housing based in a hotel where all the Players start off and must live for the first week. Once the week is over, however, they are free to move in where ever they please. The south part of the city and recreational area. All theme parks, theaters, clubs, and anything of that sort can be found here. The west part of the city and housing. From average homes to villas and mansions. Any type of home you can think of can be found and bought here. You can buy one on their own or live with another. It's entirely up to you. The east part of the city and an unknown area. Currently restricted. If you character has tried or will try to go here they will start to forget what they were doing. If they still head towards if they will eventually pass out and wake up back where they live, having been carried by a NPC. the rules Rules may be edited at any time but not without notice. This roleplay can become anything. What it turns into depends on your characters and their choices. It could remain a perfect life situation. Or it could turn into a horror filled story with many supernatural aspects. There are happy endings. And there are bad endings. To go along with the choices and different endings this RP may be treated like an interactive story or VN at times. Though that depends on how smoothly it goes and on the feedback. What it would entail, though, is everyone being presented with a choice with options which each have their own outcome. I will try my best to give everyone a fair chance at voting but I do not want to delay the RP for longer than a day, or two at most. Besides these moments this RP will be treated as any other RP. There is no character limit. You're free to make as many as you want and replace those that die, because they can die. However there are ways to avoid every death. You will just have to find them. Weekly posts will be required unless I get notice that you cannot do it. Mature content is allowed, but if used then a notice in the ooc section or a place above the post will be needed. However if every post or every other interaction your character has includes it then it will not be allowed and a warning will be handed out. If ignored then you can be banned. No god-modding. No killing or controlling other characters that are not your own without permission. I do not believe that keeping track of your character's money should be a chore. Therefore all their basic needs and everyday stuff will be free. Only important things or housing will be counted. If you wish to keep a purchase secret from the other Players you may message me about it. However if it ends up affecting your character's physical appearance a note will be made. the events & prizesNone yet. the formName: Age: Appearance: Personality: [give at least four traits or sentences] Remaining Money: [there hasn't been any need to spend any yet but it depends on their personality if they have or not. will be kept up to date on the ooc page] Other: the players Morrigan TheWorldThatNeverWas Moksha TwilightBlader h y u g e cstar Name: Evan Thompson Age: 20 Appearance: [ x ] Personality: A compulsive liar. He can tell the truth, but those who know him say it's best to always assume he's lying. He isn't loyal to anyone and would be happy if it stayed that way, never trusting anyone. Might be ironic as a liar, but that makes it possible for him to speak from experience when he says people lie. Besides, everything comes and goes anyway. Meaning people too. Getting attached is too much of a hassle just to end up watching them go. Remaining Money: 1 mil Other: Name: Coco Rhodes Age: 19 Appearance: ❀ Personality: She's naturally kind although normally being by herself most of the time. Because she tends to frequently do things on a whim others see her as odd. If she feels comfortable around someone it's with she'll likely pull them into her whimsical acts. Remaining Money: 1 million Other: Coco isn't her real first name but since that's what people called her most of the time she decided to go by it. Name: Allen Vale Age: 20 Appearance: {+} Personality: Allen is a generally well composed man. He rarely acts on impulse or emotions. However can he and is known to be quite laid back about most things and not really giving his all at a given situation, unless he finds a reason to do so. Remaining Money: 1 million Other: Name: Edgar LeBeau Age: 28 Appearance: ♚ Personality: A whimsical and wondrous man! Some may say Edgar may be a bit mischievous and immature but perish the thought! None can rile the audience like Edgar and his passionate energy. He is suave he is kind, he is what people want in a man. Sure he may be loud, but not mischievous...no sirree Remaining Money: 1 million dollars Other: Name: Wallace Walker Age: 21 Appearance: ♦ Personality: The main thing one should know about Wallace is that he is very clumsy. He holds a kind heart and loves to help out, but luck just isn't too kind to him. He tends to screw up a lot and always tries to laugh it off. Despite this he always tries his best to take responsibility for it and can be quite the determined guy. Remaining Money: 1 Million Other: Name: Tripp Lakler Age: 24 Appearance: ♦ Personality: Wander ♦ Laid-back ♦ Athletic ♦ Uninspired ♦ Freeloader Remaining Money: 1 Mil Name: Sophia Robbins Age: 18 Appearance: ♥ & ♥ Personality: Reserved ♥ Patient ♥ Kindhearted ♥ Easygoing ♥ Nurtering Remaining Money: 1 Mil Name: Amanda Rogers Age: 21 Appearance: * Personality: Amanda is too nice for her own good. She is much too forgiving and is easy to have people take advantage of her. On top of it all she isn't exactly the brightest bulb on the tree and can easily be convinced of something otherwise. Remaining Money: $999,000 (she has already given a thousand dollars in handouts, but she finally decided she should probably stop that.) Other: Her "stupidity" is more when it comes to social endeavors. She is actually really booksmart. Name: Jimmy Larsen Age: 19 Appearance: x Personality: Jimmy is better in certain moods than others. While he can be a fun-loving, happy go lucky guy at some points who is just happy to play music on his guitar and tell jokes, Jimmy is fond of just complaining about the going-ons of his life, and all though they are true for the most part it can get really annoying and excessive. Remaining Money: 1 Million Other: He always carries around his guitar. No matter what.
He could be lying when he said he doesn't know who TITAN is. There was a pause which helps supports that theory. As for Maggie, I still like her because she has spunk, but I really hate how she treated the place. Though maybe it's symbolic. They're inside their mind which also makes me think it's unsafe to be destroying things in there. Also, in the book Ava got it showed Tuls with thorns and stuff, meaning he has another form so he could change in the future. Maybe it goes to show the two become destructive in one way or another. I want to see how they change and if any of my theories are true. Also I really want to know if Odin has a demon with him. It seems really likely. If not then those twins or his brother, brother being the more likely out of those three. I want to know the details there too. Edit: I should have read the last update before posting. That changes a lot with the part about Tuls.

So many things happening at once. Drinks? Disgusting. Too much socializing too. So much talking. It was all so much. Hardly anything of real interest, either. No way could she turn her focus on to something, not with how short it was especially. Not a good impression, here. That could backfire on her later. But everyone was so loud. So stupid. Such disorder... And, well, she kinda snapped at the first person whose attention remained ungrabbed, as far as she could tell. "Apologies are a waste of time." Already wasted enough of theirs by being late, too. Time was too precious to waste, even for immortals. When it was her time, anyway. And he stole some of it! How insulting. He wasn't even the only one, either. Though he was the only one who had her focus, least for the moment. ♪ → ♪ → ♪ → ♪ → ♪
The sky was always changing in the land owned by Belle. Never did it stay the same for longer than a few minutes. Time was unimportant anyway, so there had been no need for it to change normally. There was also no need for it to be normal. So among the many colors humans would see there were others. Dusk. Afternoon. Sunset. Night. Blues, reds, purples, oranges. Sometimes it would look like the sea, vast with blues and greens. Sometimes it would go all white, a blank canvas waiting to be filled. Other times it would look like a super nova, an explosion of stars and wondrous things. Had this been Belle's doing? Or was it like this when she got here? Even the shifter could not recall, forgetting things from so long ago. Being immortal seemed to do that to a being. So much would just slip away through the cracks of time. Memories, faces, names, friends, enemies. But most of it was unimportant, so no use dwelling on it. Instead, focus on the present. ♫ The present. Currently Belle had been brushing her hair, watching change in the same manner as the sky. Only when she finished did it return to the plain white of her original appearance. The blank canvas. Once pleased with her appearance, glasses adorning her face and a flowing white dress framing her body, the female stood to move away from the grand mirror. Away from the room. Out of the house and through her land, a city that had nothing notable besides the sky and bizarre weather. Well, there was one other thing worthy of note. But that was her's and her's alone. No one else should even know of it. Not her secret, her treasures... But moving along. Away from her land. To the Hall. Ready, willing, eager. ♫ Belle was not the first one to arrive. In fact, those already there seemed to have been there for a while already. Or perhaps that was just an illusion cast upon her by how their conversation appeared. Then again, she was not one for socializing without a cause. A selfish desire that could only be fulfilled by smiling and acting interested or forcing it out of someone. Therefore the tone of an atmosphere was hard to read. So while, to her, it seemed light and as if they were all friends already that could not necessarily be the truth. She was uncertain. She also had no reason or approach to join in with them just yet, so instead a spot away from the majority was taken and there she would stand for now. Thinking, weighing the odds, and planning. ♪ → ♪ → ♪ → ♪ → ♪
I like it a lot! Thank you very much for making it for me.
