Roleplay Challenge: Storybook Edition
Many roleplayers are experienced in the art of short posts and witty words-- but what will you do when you come up against the most secretive foe yet-- long-form roleplaying?
In this challenge, you will need to create a post no less than 500 words and no more than 3,000 words in which you respond to the prompt below:
Your character has a secret, one that could ruin their career, relationship, or life. For one reason or another, they have now become a suspect for the murder of someone they were once close to, and they are on the run. They are currently in a mall in a high-population city-- whether that be Beijing, New York, Mumbai, or elsewhere-- and they notice they are being tailed by an agent. How does your character react? Do they run, or do they blend in with the crowd? What stores are they passing along the way? If they're caught, what does that look like? And the most important question of all: are they guilty? Will the readers ever know?
Note you do not necessarily have to answer all these questions for your submission to be considered. Just write the introduction you feel best suits the character you create!
Your character should be an original character specifically designed for this scenario, not a pre-existing OC that you adapt to this. Stretch yourself, and create someone outside of your comfort zone. Nobody wants to read the same story twice, so go for something out of the box and unexpected-- you may just be rewarded for your boldness. In a spoiler at the beginning of your post, include your character profile, and title your piece in whatever fashion you fancy. Keep your piece friendly for everyone, and censor any language you include-- no gruesome violence should be necessary for this piece. The scene must open up in a mall in a high-population city, but it may change to a reasonable extent as the story progresses. The agent your character is being tailed by is detailed in the following character sheet:
Name: CLASSIFIED (known as Agent Moon)
Age: CLASSIFIED (looks to be in her early forties)
Gender: Female
Sexuality: CLASSIFIED
Secret: CLASSIFIED (Her secrets have secrets)
Appearance: Agent Moon is 5'9" in flat shoes, with a muscular physique and dark short hair. She is Latinx and she can blend in easily with a crowd. She's an expert at not being noticed, so keep that in mind when your character does notice her. Did it take them long? Why or why not?
Personality: Agent Moon is constantly focused on the mission, and will not be side-tracked easily. It would take some serious brainpower to get her off your tail. She's cold and ruthless, but she is not going to go for the killing shot. She has no long-range weapons such as guns or tasers, but she is skilled with physical fighting, so your best bet is to keep distance. She has a single pair of handcuffs.
History: CLASSIFIED.
Other: Is she alone? Does she have backup waiting outside? Are there more agents stationed around the mall? That's for you to decide-- or find out.
