THE INTERACTIVE TUG STORY

Postby Fan_Of_Blindfolds » Sun Oct 24, 2010 1:31 pm

Loosely based on the webcomic "Homestuck", I present to you: THE INTERACTIVE TUG STORY!

Here's how this works: I will post a section of the story, and then you (plural you - as in, the readers) will PM me what you think the characters should do. I will choose one (or more) of the submitted commands and base the next section of the story off them. Commands can be submitted for ANY character that I've introduced, but not all commands will be used in any given section. Also, you can refer to things I haven't introduced in your commands - eg. telling a character to find something that I haven't said exists yet. If I use a command that mentions something like this, I will add it to the story. (You can put miscellaneous comments in this thread.) I'll update the story several times per day, assuming I have commands to work with.

So, the first section of the story:

Pandora is your average 16-year-old girl, except in one respect. Said respect is that she has just woken up in the middle of a forest, with no memory of how she got there. She gets up, confused. Or tries to, at any rate... She realizes that her arms are tied together at the wrists and elbows behind her back, making getting up hard. Now she starts to panic. But not too much. She isn't in any immediate danger, and this is probably just a lucid dream.

It takes a while, but she is able to get up, after which she begins walking off in a random direction. As she walks, she realizes that she's wearing a long purple dress, not her nightgown. That's interesting.


EDIT: Oh, you can also email me commands instead of PMing them, if I'm out of PM space or if you don't have an account. fanofblindfolds@gmail.com

Great start! Not many commands to give yet....so I suppose, Pandora finds a native to this world.

Normally, I'd wait for more commands, but this is early on, so...

Pandora feels a strange urge to see if there is anyone else in this forest. She wonders why, but then shrugs. Or tries to, at any rate - shrugging is hard with your arms bound behind you at the wrists and elbows, especially if they are bound as tightly as Pandora's. If this is a dream, it's getting annoying, very fast.

She stays annoyed for a few hours, at which point she completes her objective of finding another person. Said other person is a blindfolded girl, who introduces herself as Alexandra. Without waiting for Pandora to reply, she says, "And it's getting late."

Pandora looks around and realizes that she is right. It is getting dark, and pretty quickly - though, now that she thinks about it, it was pretty dark when she arrived.

Alexandra runs off as fast as she can - which is faster than Pandora could run with her arms bound like this, probably.


You can have her follow Alexandra, follow her but lose track of her, not follow her, or anything else you like. And if you have her follow Alexandra, you can specify what happens when they get wherever Alexandra is going. (Commands can be quite long, btw.)
