"And now was acknowledged the presence of the Red Death. He had come like a thief in the night. And one by one dropped the revellers in the blood-bedewed halls of their revel, and died each in the despairing posture of his fall. And the life of the ebony clock went out with that of the last of the gay. And the flames of the tripods expired.
And Darkness and Decay and the Red Death held illimitable dominion over all."
- The Masque of the Red Death, Edgar Allan Poe

[glow=white]Tonight is the night that you [glow=red]die.[/glow][/glow][glow=white]
Tonight also happens to be your friend's stag party, as a crowd of his best and closest shepherd him into the heart of London for a night of drinking, dancing, toasting, more drinking, exceptionally poor life choices and an almost-guaranteed-to-be-large number of regrets in the morning.
But as you tour the big spots, drink the overpriced drinks, pretend you're having a great time and make small-talk with people you're probably never going to see again? Remember one thing.
Tonight is the night that you [glow=red]die[/glow].
Tonight, something is about to be released upon old London town. Something ancient. Something powerful. Something beyond your tiny little meat brain's comprehension. Something that will usher in the unforgettable night that you were promised, in all the worst ways.
Tonight, you're going to go insane.
And maybe even [glow=red]eat your mates...[/glow]

Sometimes, horrible things happen to perfectly undeserving people.
Such as, in this case, you.
GO INSANE (AND EAT YOUR MATES) is a cheeky little RP that mixes Cosmic Horror and Splatterpunk, in which a small group of ordinary folks out on London town for a stag night find themselves suddenly caught in the middle of an outbreak of savage and eldritch pandemonium. Things rapidly degenerate from there. It's aimed at being a short, violent, brutal and sometimes darkly comedic game, and it's inevitably going to end horribly for all the characters involved.
RULES
- Your character is going to die.
- No, seriously. Your character is going to fucking die. Horribly.
- Before their aforementioned and inevitable death, your character is going to go irrevocably insane.
- Player vs Player violence isn't just permitted, after a certain point in the plot it's going to be encouraged.
- Player initiative is expected. Decisive posts that stir things up are encouraged. Completely hijacking the plot and trying to run away with it is a dick-move (and will result in you being removed from the game).
- Cannibalism is not mandatory.
- It is, however, highly encouraged.
CHARACTER SHEETS
In-keeping with the rules-light, no-nonsense outlook this RP is aiming for, we're going to be keeping the Character Sheet nice and focused.
A few things to note, before you get started.
Your character is going to die.Yup, sorry, we've already covered that- Your character is somewhere between their mid to late 20's
- Your character probably lives somewhere in the UK. If they don't please do specify this, and have an explanation ready.
- Your character is a perfectly ordinary, ugly little human being, complete with perfectly ordinary, ugly little human being abilities and issues. No monsters, mages or magical creatures.
Here's the template. PLEASE PROVIDE AN IMAGE OF YOUR CHARACTER WITH YOUR SHEET. No anime/manga images, however. Consistency is a good thing.
NAME: ((What do people call you? Full name? Nickname? Offensive slur that you've decided to embrace?))
OVERVIEW: ((Give a short, snappy summary of who you are and what you do. Just the crucial details, the aspects of what makes you you, and how you happen to know Rou, the lucky groom-to-be. Everything else, you can reveal in-game. Think "an old university compatriot of Rou's, trailing two failed businesses, a collapsed marriage and a metric ton of debt in his wake. His good looks are only skin-deep, as are his charms, and he's mostly only here to get drunk and forget about the train-wreck that is his continued his existence". Two or three sentences at the most. And yes, whilst you're asking, I have been reading a lot of Chuck Palahniuk lately. How can you tell?))
SOMETHING YOU'RE GOOD AT: ((Everybody's got a bit of a talent. What's yours?))
SOMETHING YOU'RE BAD AT: ((Nobody's perfect. What does your character happen to be terrible at, or have issues about?I'm totally not planning to use this against you That was a lie, I am absolutely going to use this against you))
