comment: | {{{ Someone who wants to make the PwoR into a reality show people watch from earth "The Place without Recourse is just like a sitcom." * Wants to make plays as interesting/unexpected as possible, instigate drama, encourage use of modifiers * Could be more of a Puck-style trickster * Wants a two-way view: people want what they can't have. Earth wants their mistakes not to matter, PwoR wants to be able to accomplish something. * Might need to work with the new ruler and/or do some sort of tech plot or find a thing. Magic mirror or wormhole sort of thing. * Wants to make the PwoR exists but remains cut off, mess with the Ragged Things to make no one enter or leave. The viewers get the thrill of watching someone escape, but they'll still be back next season. * Still deciding which side he wants to be on. * Question: "Is it better to be free from consequences or for your decisions to always carry meaning?" "Is it better to be meaningless or to have to live with your mistakes?" ** Talk to people from both sides ** Better question: "How can you avoid the consequences of your mistakes?" *** Answer1: "Without consequences, actions would be devoid of meaning." *** Answer2: "With enough control, mistakes would not exist." }}} name: Robin player: Susan Shepherd gender: m stuff: | [[Actors]], [[Trivia]], [[Clever]], [[Truth4]], [[MirrorKey]] contacts: | \MrsSchiff{More or less runs the theatre company, not that you tend to listen to \them.} \TribblesDude{Used to watch the picture box with you sometimes.

Every day the sun rises into the sky and the people hunch over and hurry down the streets and say nice things to someone's face and mean things to their back. People hurt each other and then regret their mistakes; people hurt themselves and then regret their mistakes. Life. It isn't beautiful. "Make me a god," you are saying to mother, over twenty years before. "Make me the kind of god that can guide people, and break free of any webs of deceit, and never go hungry or go thirsty, and be by all others loved; to tell lies such that everyone believes, and have security against change, and to become the cleverest creature in all the world and save people from their mistakes. Can you make me that?" Mother doesn't listen; she rarely listens. "I can't," she is saying, twenty years ago. "I can't, \cRealityShowDude{}, not that, never that, I can't." You watch picture shows in the giant box taller than you are. Every day, things are the same. It doesn't matter if Hannah gets engaged or Joey gets a job or Jamie and Chris have a fight. The next day, things reset with the exact same happy music as every other day. Hannah is mourning being single and Joey is unemployed and strapped for money and Jamie and Chris are besties again. It is beautiful. Any changes are forgotten. Mistakes don't have consequences; no one stays hurt. You look away from the picture box back outside to the gray dreary hunching people and there is a gunshot. No happy music plays the next day to let the world reset. The world needs a reset button. When things reset every day, more interesting scenarios can transpire. Side-splitting pants-wetting soul-wrenching drama exists without causing hurt. It would be perfect. This draws you to theater ten years later. Every day, the play starts anew, from the beginning. Deaths and marriages and attacks and pain always go away. You join the \bActors{} full-time once school ends. The theater is home. You reinterpret plays for the acting troupe, trying settings in Victorian Europe or during the Cold War or where one character is secretly a zombie. These unexpected elements add much entertainment to the plays. There is no repercussion. That world always goes away after you take your bow. You are in the theater, rehearsing, creating afresh the same world as every day. It is a few weeks ago. It is so beautiful. You are being drawn out of the theater into nospace, stretching into another reality. You look up in the sky. The opalescent sunrise gleams with a beauty that pains you. You look down, expecting the gray hunching figures. They are not there. You see only a large man named Ii Ma standing silently behind you. He does not hunch over and never hurries. He speaks; his voice booms until the rising sun trembles, echoing his voice back across the undulant sand dunes. "**How can you avoid the consequences of your mistakes?**" It is morning. The sun rises and the world blazes with its light. How beautiful it is! Week after week, morning comes and the sun rises ablaze and this Place erases everything of the past day! You understand this Place. This is the place you are searching for with the colors and the happy music and the acting and the experiments. It is the same. Every day, this place starts afresh; the previous day is wiped clean. Plays and shows in the box are paltry imitations of this place, where every morning you wake up and see how beautiful is the sunrise. It is a place to live inside the ultimate entertainment. If only you could share this with the people outside. You'd try to bring cameras, but how do you broadcast across realities? And you want it to be natural; you can stage something anywhere. No, you need something better than a hidden camera, some sort of magic mirror that could watch anywhere, at any time. And then send it to the world. If you ever have trouble with the creative side of things, you only need turn to \DrugLord. Sure, \DrugLord{\they} is a little weird and creepy sometimes, but \DrugLord{\they} is also overflowing with creativity! You can use some of that as ideas for your show. It would be the most precious form of entertainment imaginable. You could instigate any sort of drama, manipulate and connive and prompt people to say ridiculous things in front of the mirror, invent crazy scenarios that they must deal with! And yet, here there are no consequences, so no one must pay for any of that craziness. This place is sacred. Everyone should know of it, should watch it through their picture boxes out in the other world. You must bring it to them, show everyone how life can be, where you can experiment with your choices without fear. == Goals == * Make the Shows as exciting and surprising as possible. * Make things interesting for those around you outside of Shows, too. * Talk to both Actors and Judges and learn more about how they relate to this Place. * Answer your question so you can leave this place freely. * Figure out who will rule this place after Ii Ma and get them to work with you. * Find some sort of Magic Mirror so you can observe this place easily after you leave. For some reason, the idea makes you think of some sort of castle. * Find something that could serve as a reset button for the real world. username: badgedesc: A Calm, Watchful \Human number: <> castinghint: | Your character is \name, an actor newly arrived in the Place without Recourse. You hate the real world and escape into the worlds of plays or tv, where the world resets and forgets your mistakes every day. In the real world, drama upsets everyone and changes things permanently. In plays, the drama is what is interesting to watch! The Place without Recourse, it has the perfect setup to wipe the slate clean every day, so you are here to create drama. This would make a chart-topping syndicated 'reality' tv show if you could get some cameras set up here, too. Once you've got the cameras rolling, it'll be time to set up some drama -- because here in this place, there are no repercussions. Let the lying and manipulation begin.
