You're sitting at the computer, on the Roleplay Gateway forums, when someone suddenly walks up behind you and drops a stamped white envelop on your lap. It appears to be a letter with your name and address on it, but there is no indication of where it came from. You open the envelop and find a letter inside, written in ink. You unfold the the letter, and to your surprize another, smaller yellow envelop falls out of it. You open the yellow envelop and find four different tickets, all of them assigned to you. The first one is a free bus ticket. The second one is a train ticket, already paid for. The third one is a charter boat ticket, already paid for. The last ticket is a plane ticket, and that too is already paid for. Curious as to what these tickets are for, you look at the letter and begin to read.

Wassup Gateway?! ^_^

Here's a new Never Ending Roleplay for you, or anyone who's interested. Pseudo & Alias sorta kinda gave me the idea for it. Basically, here's what this new Freeform RPG is all about. There is no story-line, no plot, no conflict, no foundation to start from, nothing. Like the Seinfeld show on TV, it's basically a Freeform RPG about nothing. Here's how it works. You don't need a character profile, unless you really wanna create one. Basically, this is a Realistic/Modern RPG where everyone roleplays as themselves. Now you can choose to use your real-name, or you can choose to use a nick-name, it doesn't matter. But basically, you're playing yourself, not a fictional character. That means you look, sound, act, talk, dress, and walk like yourself, how you would in real-life. Now unless you're an astronaut in real-life, I don't expect anyone will be needing a map of the universe. So instead, this Never Ending Roleplay takes place here on earth, as it is today. There is no futuristic or fantasy elements involved, so here's everything you need to know.

The rules:
- Profiles, all participating characters must be human beings.
- Setting, the entire planet Earth and its surrounding atmosphere.
- Time, the current hourly, daily, and yearly cycle in realistic time.

You don't need to request an invitation to enter. This is a totally Freeform RPG, so it's play as you post, or post-to-play. You can jump in whenever you want, and leave whenever you want. There are no restrictions for this Never Ending Roleplay.

That's all there is to know, really. Anything goes, there are no rules in this Freeform RPG except that everything remains realistic as best as possible. Fighting is allowed. Romance is allowed. Profanity is allowed. Basically, anything and everything is allowed, so long as its within reason. Don't be flaming the forums or acting stupid, that's all I really ask for. I designed this RPG for everyone so that we can get to know one another better, outside of the RPG realm. I noticed that a lot of people on here have friends & enemies inside the RPG circle, who they have known for a very long time, but never really met away from the computer. So here's your chance to get to know the people behind the screen, in this sort of OOC/IC enviroment where everything is real. I hope you're interested in the Never Ending Roleplay, and I hope you have fun with it. Let me know.

you sir are a genius haha what a great idea. ok so it took me a while to read this but its such a good idea to get everyone involved and to be themselves.

ok well while im here ill introduce myself, im keiran, i am indeed fairly human at last check, age is classified unless you really want to know and im up for any type of rp within reason.

you wanted real well theres a start lmao.

Heh. My kind of party. :3 Name's John, i'm 24... Ask for anything else you'd wanna know. ...I think i'm human... o______o

I would like to join this. It sounds pretty interesting, like nothing I've seen before. Very good idea, and I think this'll be a pretty good roleplay.

*is already onboard the boat* He had me at 'free'. :3

*gets on a plane an flies over to the island*

free is always good considering nothing else in this world is free haha

=D
Hai, I'm hailey. Fourteen.
Am I the youngest on the trip so far?
And yes, I'm human although I may not act human all the time. XD
Need to know anything else, then ask. ^^

Can I ride to the island on the back of a dolphin? I would totally do that in real life. No joke. Just have to hop on over to Phil's rent-a-dolphin...

Anyhow, sounds like a neat idea.

hehe.

*is at the island**jumps into the water*

-At island, by plane-
Wooh. I shotty room 483. =)
Do these rooms have stoves/fridges and all?
because I'm going to need my midnight fixing of either a grilled cheese samwich, or a noodle cup.
It's quite important I get that. XD

mmm... noodles... yes. DO the rooms have said appliances? *raises an eyebrow*

And first of all, before I roleplay, is there going to be like an IC page? Or technically, OOC page? Wait, we're in character, to be out of character. What the heck. I just blew my own mind.

Yeah. If anyone wants any noodle cups at midnight, then come to room 483. We'll have a noodle party. Or something of the sort, anyway. I hope there's appliances. If there isn;t I shall build a stove and a microwave. From what? I'm not actually one hundred percent sure.

Woah. In character.. to be out of character. So, really we're IC & OOC at the same time then?

indeed... anyway... *gets a key* ...yay! Room 475!

Why not? I'll join. I need something to do anyway.

This reminds me of an RP that was similar to this. In the RP, Roleplay Gateway was a virtual city which you got sucked into through a vortex in your computer. It lasted about 5 posts before it died.

Edit: forgot my informations! (Yes, informations.)

Josh, 18 years old, human.

Haha. Poor failure of a topic. This thread has gotten over five posts; I hope it doesn't die, I'm looking forward to this.
So, what's your name? ^^

Forgot that stuff. I edited already.

=D Josh.
There's this guy who was at a dance recital last weekend whose name was Josh.
He was a real good dancer. He did hip hop. =D

Anyway, I think I'm going to need to unpack all my stuff. Y'know, it takes a while to unpack noodle cups and nutella. =)
I'll be in my room, if anyone needs moi. Yeah, I just went french on your asses right there.

lies... you never forgot...

After MUCH monotenous traveling, Kayla had finally stepped off of the plane, with many people of all ages getting off also. Some were much older, which made her feel a little uncomfortable..but there were also people her age, which was good. A man had walked up to her, wearing a suit and holding a clipboard in his hands. "Name?" He said smiling. Kayla looked up, a tropical breeze blew her long, light brown hair as the sun struck her blue/green eyes. "Kayla Marie Gleeson" She answered smiling back. He checked her name off the list.
"Age?"
"Fourteen"
"Ok, very good.." He said. He pointed to a large, beautiful hotel just a little farther ahead of her. "Your room is 113". He handed her a key, that a small, imprinted picture, of her avatar and RPG rating. She smiled brightly. "Thank you!" She said, her excitement rising. She gripped her bag and started to run toward the hotel, laughing out of excitement.
She didn't bring much, just her iPod, Nintendo DS, a few games for it, and a sketchpad/diary..and a pencil. Kayla thought that this might have been a rip-off- but the tickets were valid.
She entered the hotel, a fresh coolness came over her; The AC. The hotel had a chandelier in the main lobby, with staircases on each side; it looked amazing.


"....I love Roleplay Gateway" Kayla said, standing in amazment in the middle of the lobby


(Eep 0.0 was that a bit too much?)
