ROUND FIVE:
"1997"
Ellie hesitated, looking behind her, a sly smile crept across her face and finally, it was over. She swore a bright sunny dawn crept up over Silent Hill, it's soft, welcoming breeze washing over Lakeside Amusement Park – the damnedable place – a Hell on Earth, as many would agree. Looking down, the silver key marked 'REDEMPTION' clicked loudly against an archaic metal gate, a portal leading from Silent Hill into the real world...
The Halo of the Sun flickered on and off, as if demanding you stayed.
Fuck you.
And fuck that.
The twin gates creaked open, and you're engulfed by a bright white light...
MOMENTS LATER...
You wake up. For the final time.
You woke up in a hospital, a slew of medical staff, all lead by a 'Doctor Hamilton' surrounds you, shining a white flashlight in your eye, "This one's good. Nurse Garland, how about Mr. Pierce?" She frowns, shaking her head and examining his vitals—it appears he's been electrocuted to death—but the medical staff is unsure of HOW. A police report is filed. Oh, and Matt isn't a traitor. He, too, appears to have waken up from his "coma." The reported dead are also T-Dog, Ib, Red, and Morgan.
It took a few minutes for you to reorient yourself.
You were tempted to slip back into blissful sleep... until a calender marked 'May 11th 1997' met your gaze. Huh? This obviously wasn't the late 90s. There's no friggin' iPhones, no high-tech medical equipment, by today's standards, this shit was ancient! But, whatever right? This building didn't appear tainted by Silent Hill's grasp...
Let's chalk it up to a dream.
You're all discharged per Doctor George Hamilton's order. It took you a few minutes to pack your bags and send you on your way with a rather unpleasant hospital bill.
You stepped out of the hospital and onto thick gray pavement; it's filled with inner city hustle, cars honking and beeping, people going to and fro and a large billboard on a rooftop. It made you a tad bit uncomfortable:
"Welcome to Raccoon City!"
364 DAYS LATER...
May 10th 1998
You've been busy around Raccoon City: Maybe you've found a job, raised a family, perhaps? Mm, the possibilities are endless. In any other case, you've all decided to stay in Raccoon City – living together as a so-called "family." A twisted family, sure, but you're all interlocked nevertheless. However, despite your escape from Silent Hill, you couldn't help feel... call you. And it was getting worse. Visions, odd noises, extreme hallucinations and nightmares. Some of you dealt with it, others not so much...
The questions remains: What happens to you in a year?
SPECIAL NOTE (READ BELOW):
Consider writing a "mini prologue" for your character. Explain what happens to him or her within a year; if they fall in love, or maybe a few of you could PM each other and agree upon something. Of course, this is only the middle of the Murder Game – so I'm not through with you yet! This is sorta-kinda Slice-of-Lifey and sorta-kinda survival horror as you're about to experience in the mid-round update tomorrow or Friday!
Oh, and you can search all of Raccoon City! Here's a map! (Click to enlarge.)
