Prison Escape (forum game with a very original name by ATMunn)

ATMunn

So after making DashNet Diplomacy, I soon realized it probably wasn't the best forum game for my first forum game. Oh well. I'm not abandoning that by any means, but I decided to start another, simpler forum game. So...

In this game, you are a prisoner trying to get out of prison. You will never truly escape from prison, as after you escape you will be put into another prison. (Otherwise there would be nothing to do!) You start in a small, low security prison, in for some minor, but not insignificant, crime. (You can come up with what the crime is if you want. :P) You can try to act nice while secretly working on an escape plan, or just be a total jerk. Or somewhere in between. It's up to you.

To join, just say you want to join and put your in-game name.

Lefian

I want to join!
They shall know me as... Tim.

Brainstorm

Nobody knows my real name, but they call me Brainstorm... I got into prison for selling black pieces (AKA weapons), and I was caught and shot a police officer.

I'm pretty sure that's not "some minor, but not insignificant, crime".
I was arrested for littering and loitering at the same time!

You have joined.

You also have joined.

For both of you:
You just left the vehicle that was taking you to the prison. There are other prisoners with you, but none of them seem to say anything. Once you get to the prison, they take you inside. They check you over quickly (just in case) and take you inside. It's late at night, so you go to sleep. You wake up the next day. After about another hour, an officer comes and unlocks your door and says, "Time for breakfast." (By the way, I haven't decided whether all players start in the same prison, or different ones. We'll just have to see.)

Meh. That's alright, it doesn't really matter that much. I guess I'll just be a bit harder on Brainstorm then.

I was arrested for hijacking a quiz show.

Oh, yeah, and I may have beaten the host for 5 minutes straight. Live and on camera. Before subjecting the contestants to a "killer game show" (It was later revealed that my weaponry was just props, and besides the host, nobody was in any real danger - the main reason I was placed somewhere low security is because I'm not THAT dangerous.) You can probably find my arrest in HD on Youtube.

My real name is unknown - in fact, no proper confirmation of my existence existed before I kind of showed up on camera. They call me the Showman.

You are on the vehicle going to the prison right now. You're almost there, but another prisoner besides you whispers to you, "So you're in for beating up a game show host? Well, 'Showman,' you might have to do some real beating up here..." Almost before you can even start to think of a response, the vehicle stops and an officer gets you out. You haven't seen him again since. You remember, though, that he had a tattoo on his arm and had quite a rough voice. Anyway, the officer takes you inside. You're quite exhausted, so you fall asleep pretty soon. You wake up the next day, and after about an hour, an officer comes and unlocks your door and says, "Time for breakfast."

Somehow, Showman now has his hair styled - it was messed up when he was arrested, but now it's back to the style it was during the "show."

How did he do that, exactly? There is literally nothing in this cell that could have helped him achieve that.

"Sound good to me," he says, approaching the cell door.

Since it is your first day here, the officer says, "Follow me," and leads you to the canteen of the prison.

You grab a plate of food, sit down, and begin to eat. The food doesn't taste amazing, but it tastes better than you expected.

Meanwhile, the same prisoner who talked to you in the vehicle taking you here decides to sit down next to you.

¤RunninginReverse¤

"We meet again," the Showman says with a smirk, taking a look at the other prisoner while eating.

Lefian

Tim hops out of bed with a cheeky grin already plastered across his face.
"Alright! Breakfast is the most important meal of the day, after all. Take me to the Cafe, officer!"

McJagger

I join... my name, is (of course) Kyle!

i was arrested for resisting arrest of an arrest for resisting arrest for littering I was arrested for littering

(also, i vote for the same prison)

Brainstorm

I suggest you put us all in the same prison.
Also, I wasn't selling lots of weaponry, just a few heads (AKA 10-99) of old pistols.

I follow on to lunch and eat with the others, and talk to @Lefian
"I read all manuscripts and entries done, what are you in for, though?"

The prisoner smiles back at you.

The officer shows you the way to the canteen, and you grab some food and sit down. You end up sitting next to @Brainstorm, who says to you "I read all manuscripts and entries done, what are you in for, though?"

I'll skip writing out the first little while, it's pretty much the same as for the other players, and since we're in the same prison, I'll skip directly to breakfast.

Alright, same prison it is. (there's not much I can say for the rest of the post since @Lefian hasn't responded yet)

"I read all manuscripts and entries done, what are you in for, though?"

"I'm here for both littering aaand loitering! How about you?"
Tim keeps his grin at maximum, but his eyes flicker all across Brainstorm's body.

¤RunninginReverse¤

"Had a feeling we'd meet again after last time," he adds, taking another bite.

Brainstorm

@Lefian
"Weapon-smuggling~"
I pause for a moment
"Hey look, it's the showman, let's continue our lunch near him."
I go to @¤RunninginReverse¤ and start talking
"Hello, showman... I heard you were in for beating a show host up, that might sound dangerous... but I've been through much worse, I've been beaten up by a 14 year-old drug addict with an iron pole before, I shot him in the end... it's a hard life here in *insert country name here*... what's up?"

¤RunninginReverse¤

"Nothing much...Just eating," the Showman says in between bites. He looks around a bit, as if scoping out the area.

Brainstorm

"Scoping out area I see? Got something in mind? I can see it's your first time being jailed. *takes a bite out of own sandwich* I've been jailed twice before, for 8 monthes each."

Lefian

Tim begins eating his own breakfast quickly, turning it away from the others as though they were going to steal it, and pocketing the silverware- if there is any- for later use.

¤RunninginReverse¤

"I do have a plan forming...Definitely going to be an excellent show, I assure you."

Brainstorm

"Oh bring it on, showman!" I say, as I take a glass of wine out of my jacket and two glasses, fill one for myself. "Want some, showman? What about you, Tim? @Lefian "

Lefian

"...What? How did you bring wine into the facility?
Uh, I don't drink anyways. I'm like... allergic."
Tim stops smiling, realizing that there are no guards around to please.

Brainstorm

"... secrets"

¤RunninginReverse¤

"Wine actually sounds fabulous right now," the Showman says. "Much better than anything they serve here."

ATMunn

(not gonna try to quote stuff because that'd be a lot of stuff to quote)
After a bit more small talk, the breakfast time ends, and it's now free time.

Lefian

Tim uses his free time to roam the prison's interior, learning as much as he can of the layout.

Brainstorm

I keep my wine hidden and go with the others during free time, then put a glass of wine for everyone. "Wine everyone? It's going to calm us down a bit and help us think about what's next... I'm captured for 6 years and I'm not staying in this rotting place for that much"

¤RunninginReverse¤

The Showman spends most of his time just scoping out the area. He has to come up with a plan. Something...Extravagant. Something that surely won't be forgotten for years to come.

He needs to put on a good show when he gets out of here.

Brainstorm

"Jolly good show!"
