Alright, well, I was in the storybook discussion forum, and I saw a thread titled "Assassins" or something. I didn't look at the plot or anything, but I immediately wanted to make a storybook about assassins. So if this has been done, feel free to lock this or something. :]
Your finger feels the trigger. You close one eye and squint through the lens. The window is open, and your target groans as he rubs his neck, shifting comfortably as he flips through the pages in his book. He reaches for the beverage beside him, and you grin. Let's have some fun.
You pull the trigger. The bullet flies through the window, and pierces the foggy glass between two of his fingers. The cup explodes, and glass flies in all directions. Your target screams, and leaps from his chair, watching shards dig into his skin, exposing the blood you've been wanting to see. You move your gun the slightest bit, and watch your target attempt to leave the room in panic. His hand grasps the door knob as he gasps, and collapses. Blood spills from his neck as you lower your weapon, and you pick up your binoculars. No twitching. No breathing. He's done. Slipping off the rooftop, you leave.
And you do the same thing tomorrow.
This is the life you guys lead.
Have an imagination.
Intense, isn't it?
Now, I'm not sure if the mods will allow any gore, so I'm rating this R.
It's literature, isn't it?
Nobody under 16, please. I don't want any prodigy assassins running around this storybook.
If anybody is going to be any sort of boss, or any kind of guy who needs an assassin, it'll be a character everybody can control.
You are an assassin.
And that is that.
You are all independent, unless the plot manages to twist so it's otherwise.
Nobody knows each other as of now.
You can form secret friendships during the story, but no "Hey, I remember you. Class of 1999, right?"
You can be any nationality.
You can be in any country.
Say, you find somebody who knows who assassinated their brother. And it's some other person in the storybook.
They send you to assassinate them.
Oh, and you can't kill each other. You can try, but you can't, unless you ask permission from that person.
You can only have one character.
And no supernatural powers or traits, please.
You guys are creative, you can figure out how you'll run into one another.
Plot:
Each Assassin has been contacted by two associations, each asking for them to murder an important employee belonging to each one. Each assassin is assigned a different employee. Each assassin is offered a large sum of money. You either choose to take the job and choose, or you choose to ignore it. But if you ignore it and the assigned person is not murdered within a 90 day period, they know who you are. And they know where to find you.
Or you can betray each, and murder both who are assigned to you, and collect the each bounty. Consider the consequences, and consider what you'll gain.
Will people have to be removed for your own safety? Your family's safety?
