Our roleplays range from the fun to the mature, and are all member-run and created; they extend from Fictional roleplays set in the past and future, to Real-Life and Fan-Fiction categories.

First Steps
|
OOC Information Name: Allison Gender: female Who were you referred by? What site were you referred from?: A long time ago I was Socks here at TUL. Probably the only one that remembers me is Mishi (Another Soapbox). Age: 21 Role Playing Experience: I have not role played since falling out of touch with TUL a few years ago. Most of my experience comes, sadly, from neopets boards. IC Information Role Play Sample: FOURTH TRAIN DERAILMENT OF MONTH SHUTS DOWN CROSS COUNTRY TRAVEL. GALIKO-RABYN-JIANG TREATY CREATES OIL MONOPOLY: SYRIAAN, IRANIAN, CHINESE LEADERS IGNORE UNITED STATES' PLEA FOR NATURAL RESOURCE RELIEF. The headlines shouted over each other on Lincoln Qualls' lap. He turned the newspaper over, the cheap ink rubbing off on his fingers. A queer headline caught his eye and he found himself snorting in surprised delight, drawing looks from a few fellow people in line for the bus. UFO DISCOVERED TO BE THING CALLED SUN. SCIENTISTS ASSURE SEATTLE ITS PRESENCE IS ONLY TEMPORARY. Well, at least someone in this country still has a sense of humor, Lincoln thought. Comedy was a precious commodity these days. And these were days where it seemed everything was a precious commodity: paper, gas, alcohol, ink, hell he'd even had a near knock down drag out quarrel over the last cob of corn at the market. The government's 2015 tariffs on dairy and 2022 on all agriculture did not have the intended effect of pushing Americans to buy domestic. Even while the US continued to sap itself dry by importing an unsustainable 90% of its food from Mexico, Argentina, and Japan, and exporting only 3%, Americans heedlessly ate themselves into a black hole. Now, with petroleum under the middle east and China's control and the US too broke to continue importing food, Americans were forced to look to their own soil for resources. And that created an economic boom for farmers what with demand vastly out weighing supply, and well, a mass panic for everyone who needed to eat -- that is, the whole country. Lincoln thought back to the lost cob of corn. Not much of a fighter. Never was. A string of buses flowed up to the curb."CLASS A CARD CARRIERS BOARD FIRST PLEASE." Class A. Government and Important Citizens. A group of tied-stocking-and-buttoned-blazer types hustled up to the first bus. "CLASS B TO THE SECOND VEHICLE." The entire section, elementary students by the look of their size and uniform patches, behind Lincoln stood. Lincoln checked his watch and scanned the crowd. He summed up the situation in a sigh. No way was he getting across town in the next hour. He started to put his wallet back in his pocket when it was knocked out of his hand by a boisterous child. "Sorry mister!" The child knelt to retrieve the wallet which had spit its contents all over the floor. "What the heck is this? It's not an ID card is it? My ID card and my mom's and dad's ID card don't look like this. And hey, is that you?" The child held out a plastic card circa 2014. Good god. That hair. "Uh, no, this is my driver's license. A long time ago anyone used to be able to own a car as long as you could pass a test to drive one." The child gaped. "You OWNED a car? Like all yours? Like you drove it places? Whenever you wanted?" "CLASS B TO THE SECOND VEHICLE." "Uh, don't you have to be getting to school?" Lincoln nodded at the bus ahead brimming with America's youth. Shouts. Laughs. Bullies. Innovation. Science fairs. Lincoln watched the child scramble, his book bag slowing him down only slightly, onto the bus and into the youthful ruckus. Get back to school and figure out how to save us, he sighed. |
