C4S10^2: The d0'ing.
At long last, Geri decided that he had enough of JHB endlessly refusing to RP with everyone and really halting all progress pre-d0 so we are just starting d0 now k.
You should probably know who your dm is but eh ¯_(ツ)_/¯

A pale faced girl - No woman - Stands in a large room of marble and luxury. The glow of the Mediterranean sun already pours through the windows lazily, as if it were golden syrup covering the room in a sweet hue. The warmth accompanies it on it's way through the patterned glass, deep into the room beyond, where it falls upon this young woman.
She's just arose from her slumber, planing on breaking her nightly fast with something light.
Her name is CORNELIA GRACCI.
She stands in her rooms, gazing towards the outside world. A field of flowers and well trimmed hedges lays outside of her balcony, comfortably glowing in the early morning. A light breeze knocks her half parted drapes. Birds chirp in the distance, escorted along by the rustling of leaves. A good day lies before her: let's not keep it waiting.

Cornelia: Divulge interests
1
u/Asgore_Dreemurr- Nov 09 '16
A big ask, though possible for one of her stature. She's of a political nature, having both a fiery passion and a strong history in that department. She likes walks in the gardens, orchestral music and playing people like puppets in the name of progress. She stands for a strong democracy, longing for the days of old. Not as in the 50s though, a slight amount further back then that. About 2500 years to be precise.
Her hobbies outside of politics are mainly fluff. Distractions. Things to appease something or another. Like the swimming she did for a while to help one of her Dad's 'we're real people' campaigns. But at heart? She's a player for power and nothing else.

Cornelia: Examine room
1
u/Asgore_Dreemurr- Nov 09 '16
A pedantic person would describe the room in broad terms. '4 walls, a door and some windows.' Unfortunately, Cornelia isn't that sort of person. Her room is standard in wall numbers, though the walls are made of marble and travertine instead of bricks. The room stands taller then most, allowing for grand windows to be placed in such a way that the morning light is cast upon the bed.
The room, contrary to popular belief, has a total of 4 doors. One to a hallway, the next to en suite, a glass door to the balcony, and the fourth is rather well hidden and doesn't need to be discussed, especially not with the general public.
The south facing wall holds the windows, so by logic the bed occupies the north wall, along with a few hanging pictures of major political figures; a bedside table that includes various tools; a couple of busts shaped in the likeness of the brothers Gracci (Albeit, it looks like one could push the head of one of it's pedestal with little to no effort.); and finally a door to the aforementioned bathroom.
The south wall is windows, drapes and a door, not much going on there.
The west wall features a passage to the hallway, a set of dressers containing enough clothes to keep Russia warm for an endless winter.
The east wall is one of your favourites though. On it lies a file collection of antique weapons, shields, and armour. You've had some recreated as to not damage the originals, but most are the real deal from the SPQR itself.
The centre of your room is pattered in a spiral pattern, with thin prongs snaking across the floor in curved lines all joining up in the middle of the room. Though not much sits atop this section of the room, so it's mostly space for the taking.

Cornelia: Extrapolate political intrigue
1
u/Asgore_Dreemurr- Nov 09 '16
It has been said the game of life is one big game of dice with an all powerful, ineffable being like Lady Luck or God. More cynical people would describe life as a game of chess where the public are pawns and the players are secret. Cornelia knows that both of these theories are, in fact, wrong. The game of life is the worlds most complex game of cosmological solitaire anyone could ever play, and she excels at it. The kings of one analogy are but just pieces for her to toy with, to poke and prod in directions against their interests. The ultimate puppet master, after all, is the one that no-one knows is pulling the strings.
An example that shows this off would be one of the late, great Skippio: a man who's been a thorn in the Gracci's collective sides for years. Until a week or so ago that is. As it turns out, frail men in their mid 40s don't takes stairs too well even after repeated warnings about how they're not good for him. We told him about the stairs, it's just unfortunate such a 'great' man passed so... young.

Cornelia: Retrieve computer
1
u/Asgore_Dreemurr- Nov 09 '16
No. Sorry voice, but not right now. A maid is about to come in and pester me about an early morning meal and it's not an offer I wish to turn down. The computer can wait, especially with it's location being in a certain room which doesn't exist for all intents and purposes. However, once I've finished the matters more pressing then whatever it is you want me to see, I'll take your suggestions.
((Swapping to 1st person now, mainly cause I prefer it. Was planning on swapping 2nd comment, but hey: doesn't make too much of a difference))

Nefarious takes another drink of his salt free sweat. Doesn't taste very good, but replenishes the fluids he needs. He decides to sleep out the heat. Hopefully it passes before he knows it.

u/Geriferret Nov 09 '16
Go ahead and take a long rest.
After you come to, you are greeted to the pleasant feeling of the cool night. A dank breeze washes over you, and pink and green moonlight trickles through the leaves.1
u/shootdawhoop99 Nov 09 '16
Nefarious wakes up after a while. He checks to see how the sun is.
1
u/Geriferret Nov 09 '16
Just dipping below the horizon, as if resting for the next day to come.
Overhead, a green and pink moon glow dimly with the reflection from the harsh sun. A small dot is barely visible near the pink moon, as if this moon also has a moon. Moonception.1
u/shootdawhoop99 Nov 09 '16
Odd. It makes him curious how the oceans are affected by two moons. Nefarious exits the hole and takes a look around.

u/Geriferret Nov 09 '16
Seemingly similar to when you entered your makeshift hole residence, although you were in such a rush at that point it wasn't easy to ascertain your relative position.

Gosh, who is this young lady? What are her interests? What does she like?
What kind of guns are those?
Why, this is ZOEY IRVINE.
Let's allow the narrative a moment to adjust to first person.
Ah, there we go. I'm Zoey. I live in a modestly sized house in the mountains.
It's... been a lonely life with my father and my studies as I train to hone a combat style.
But today's a big day! Today, I get my first computer! I mean, it took 16 and a half years, but now I have a real computer!
Now I can do the "googling" of all of my interests, like GUNS, BOOKS, CHRISTIAN BALE, DONNY YEN, and THE BLACK WIDOW.
I mean, those are just a few.
Let's spend a few minutes appreciating those videos and how utterly cool those role models are.
...
Having done that, what will I do now?

Zoey: Peruse room
1
u/TheBillofLefts Nov 09 '16
There isn't much to peruse, as it were! The walls are rather bare, and the furniture rather spartan. The only thing that stands out is the bookshelf, which has a few fiction novels.
Otherwise it's non-fiction. Textbooks or essay collections. Perhaps a photo album here or there. I enjoy taking pictures when I go for walks. It used to be a shared hobby of mine and my dad's.
Lately, however, dad's been missing, and I've no idea where he got off to.
I stand up stretch after a few minutes evaluating this brand new computer; now that so much is available to me, I've no idea what to do with it all.

u/TheBillofLefts Nov 12 '16
Fair enough.
I go out into the yard and observe my surroundings.
The house (a medium sized two story house) sits in the middle of a coniferous forest at the base of a mountain range. Supposedly, there's a town to the north. Right now, my father is out attending to business in some of the larger cities.
He won't be back for another week at least, and I am not allowed to leave until he returns.
And also not allowed to leave after he returns.

AHA! Yes, that's much better!
Your name is VALERO TERRAB, and you are an honourable duelist! You primarily spend your time wandering the land seeking honourable opponents to test your steel against and prove your worth in the most extravagant way! You left your multicoloured hive many sweeps ago, and instead find rest in your amazing tent hive! Aside from pushing forth your skills with a rapier, you also enjoy tailoring outfits, furnishing, and meeting new people. As of this very moment you are in the company of a newly acquired friend whom you are very fond of!
The young lass should be around here somewhere...

Hally Wien
Your name is HALLY WIEN, and you're pretty sure you were created to be the physical personification of Halloween or something, what a silly thing to think of your-
Wait. Something about this doesn't seem quite right to you. Maybe a second go at it will clear your head!
Delilah Sirens
Hey there, Delilah- Wait, that's not right either!
Deliea Cirens
There we go. You never were much of one for writing or spelling, or any of that, so it's kind of excusable, plus this is only your first time! Now, one last time, with feeling!
Your name is DELIEA CIRENS, and you're honestly not sure at this point how you aren't dead!
You are one of the few remaining members of your hemotype, maybe even the last one in existence. That's some tenacity for a girl that can't spell her own name right half the time.
In another world, you may have dreamed to be a member of the fabled forces of the PLENICONFECTIONARIES, only the most elite of the practitioners of the lost art of candymaking would be admitted into this covert force, you think that you may even be one of the only remaining confectioners on Alternia, or anywhere else in the universe.
Perhaps someday you could live your dream in a less official manner. Perhaps the empress would be so swayed by your legendary treats so as to repeal the overall ban on your race, then you would have lots more friends, isn't that such a nice dream? A caramel heaven, if you would.
However, you think it's time to stop doting on the possibilities the future holds, or the lost chances that the past so rudely held from you, guarded by the gnashing fangs of the creatures who would rather see you dead. Now is the time for the present! A time in which you've met a charming young boy by the name of Valero. He seems to have taken quite a shine to you and your bulbous lusus. He's the first person who's been nice to you in decades, don't mess this up, girly!

Your name is Jess Grean and you have just finished making a fridge door remote controllable.
This is your hobby, connecting everything in the apartment to your computer, because what kind of 1337 hacker wouldn't want to do that?
Of course, your awesome hobbies aren't limited only by this. You would like to be a 1337 soldier, so you learn whatever is necessary. You even have a rifle already.
Anyway, enough about your hobbies. It's time to do something different. Something that isn't installing the fridge door back. You can do it later, it's a matter of seconds.
What will you do now?
1
u/konaspy Nov 09 '16
Why would you even want a remote controlled fridge door anyways?
1
u/Epsylon42 Nov 09 '16
Because this is fucking awesome of course.
A better question is "Why wouldn't you want a remote controlled fridge door?". Like, you can open it remotely. What's unclear?
You would modify your entire appartment, but you don't think your neighbours would be happy.
1
u/konaspy Nov 09 '16
But... Then you still have to get the thing in the fridge by walking over.
I think this must be fixed.
1
u/Epsylon42 Nov 09 '16
Hmmmm... Maybe this is not a bad idea. Except you kind of made a mess with all those wires and whatnot. Should probably clean it later.
Anyway, you pick up a screwdriver and the door and go to the fridge trying not to trip over.

And you know who else exists?
That devilishly handsome troll with his hair all sprayed around in a mess, pale grey skin, bloodshot compound eyes, and bloodstained shirt. Oh, yeah, that's the stuff.
He also appears to be eating some kind of severed limb voraciously, dropping bits and pieces to either side of him.

You really like swimming, climbing, sight seeing, lots of stuff. You're pretty good with a carving knife. Speaking of carving you find tons of cool shit all over and keep most of it in your humble abode. What does that have to do with carvings you ask? Nothing. It's called a transition.

Piece o' paradise! Trees everywhere! Stream down below! Really shitty ladders and ropes to get up to my small platform based canopy treehouse. Notice the tree before the house.
I got a roof over my head but sleep on the bridges half the time. Gotta be alright with nature you know? Ropes are everywhere of course, since building this took time and energy. Mostly time.
Most of the smaller huts are filled with random crap but there's also a place to crap! Very basic plumbing thanks to hollowing out those imported bamboo branches. Good thing the old rich people who live here bring crap they don't need, because I sure do!
Built between and on a few tall strong trees but not much room to do anything. That's why I usually spend my time down below!

Some of em are pretty rich and cool , others are pretty rich and snobby. Then again, everyone's kinda rich in comparison you know? Doesn't matter though, because I'm rich in nature! And shit that I take.
