[i]Just outside of Dojoville...[/i]
It was midday when when they first arrived in Dojoville, landing in a large clearing that belonged to the forest. Several men exited the aircraft and began to search the area for signs of hostile life. In the midst of the chaos, a woman clad in white emerged from the ships small hanger. She was accompanied by two robotic guards masked in [url=https://goo.gl/images/xG4YLL]some sort of combat armor[/url].
[i]Meanwhile...[/i]
A strange message was received at any device that could receive one, including radio and most electronic devices. It consisted of an offer that most couldn't refuse, and an address that lead willing participants to a large clearing in the forest...
[spoiler]Open! Loosely based off of the "Playtest" episode of Black Mirror, participants take part in a newly developed augmented/virtual reality program designed to interact with the brain. Don't worry, your character doesn't have much chance of dying. Just keep all external electronic devices off. Most importantly, have fun![/spoiler]

He gulped the drink down and slammed the glass down on the counter. He cleared his throat, looking around
-
[spoiler]Sorry for not replying. Shit happened and I didn't have the chance.[/spoiler] [b]He saw a small panel on the nearby wall, inactive for some unknown reason[/b] [spoiler]How soon would you like things to turn completely psychotic?[/spoiler]
-
[spoiler]Whenever possible really [/spoiler] Scorch walked over to the panel and attempted to activate it
-
[b]The panel suddenly lit up to reveal the company's logo, A downward facing geometric design with intersecting lines. A piece of the wall slid open to reveal a human figure in a glass chamber[/b] [spoiler]Again, sorry for not replying. You get to choose the look of the personal servant.[/spoiler]
-
Scorch glanced at the five foot six brunette that was in the chamber, her short hair reassembled that of a flapper from the 1920's and he laughed a little bit "Quaint."
-
[b]Her eyes snapped open as the glass chamber began to release her. The first thing Scorch noticed was the default white clothing she wore. Then he noticed a small, white circle on the side of her head[/b]
-
He took a step back, allowing her to exit and to insure she had room to move
-
[b]He moved her arm with a blank expression, testing her basic motor functions. She returned to a normal position as she looked at him with a warm smile[/b] "Hello Scorch. How may I be of service?" [spoiler]This will be fun. Have a seat soon and turn on the television, it should give you a little information before... well... don't want to spoil it[/spoiler]
-
"Why don't you come sit with me? We'll cuddle and watch the telly."
-
"Sure!" [b]The lights dimmed for a moment and the nearby panel seemed to glitch. For a moment the circle on her head flashed red, but then everything went back to normal[/b] "Sorry, just a momentary glitch in my systems. Go ahead and have a seat, I'll go fetch us some drinks." [spoiler]Pick your pois- I mean favorite thing to drink. It technically isn't real, so she could get anything you want.[/spoiler]
-
"I'll have a Neat Whiskey." Scorch walked over to the TV and sat on The couch, turning on the TV
-
[b]She went over to the kitchen, pouring two glasses of the stuff. Something else seemed to be added last minute...[/b] [i]The city was devastated earlier this morning following the recent terror attacks from rouge androids. More than 5 people were killed and dozens more injured when several security sentries pointed their guns at civilians and opened fire... According to multiple witness accounts, their marking chips were glowing red inside of white, meaning they were most likely hacked... The company seeks to recall all current models of the sentry and...[/i] [b]The television faded into the background as she walked over, both handing him a glass and proceeded to sit down[/b] "Cheers." [spoiler]If you haven't figured it out already...[/spoiler]
-
"Cheers indeed." Scorch took the glass and set it down on the stand by the couch, he cuddled against the Android. "You see this? How wild."

Edited by Wheatley: 6/15/2017 9:29:13 PM"I know, very strange indeed." [b]She looked at his glass[/b] "Don't enjoy it?"
-
"Well, silly. I don't want to get drunk before I need to."
-
"Your quite right. Don't want to waste a drink such as this until the right time." [b]She stayed as she was[/b]
-
He turned away from her, reaching for the glass. He took it in his hand and did a sudden 180, slamming the glass into her face and jamming the broken pieces of glass into her face. He jumped to his feet, sprinting to the front door of the apartment and opening it
-
[b]If he looked behind him he could see her staggering, pulling a small pistol out from its place in the wall. She turned toward him with nothing but a circle of red and eyes that held no emotion[/b]
-
He moved out the door and slammed the door closed, spinning around the away from the door and behind the wall
-
[b]Everything was quiet, if only for a moment. Suddenly, the building rattled and all the lights went off. Then it seemed only the dim-red emergency lighting was on. An alarm began to blare in the background, as well as an urgent evacuation message[/b]
-
"Shit." Scorch whispered, moving down the hallway towards the staircase, elevators or exit
-
[b]He moved to the staircase, a low rumbling showing signs of chaos outside. As he went down, he was suddenly stopped by rapid bullet fire right over his head. The nearby doorway leading to a new level might give him a chance to regroup...[/b]
-
He jumped down the stairs that remained and pushed through the doorway into the hallway. He looked to the right and left
-
[b]It was mainly a small security floor designed for a few offices. There wasn't much too it until a sudden shake blasted open the wall and pushed his back. He could see an aircraft pull away at the last moment[/b]

"What the actually hell!?" Scorch yelled out, looking out the hole in the building
