You find yourself standing before two cloaked men. A bright bonfire burns behind them, towering over and casting their shadows across you and an audience behind you. The sky is a midnight blue, and the moon shines directly above the flame.
You can't remember why you're here, or what's happening, but by the looks of the two heavily armed soldiers flanking you, you decide not to question things.
One of the cloaked men speaks, "What is your name, child?"
A strange question, considering that you're a young adult now, but you decide you should answer it anyways.
[I'll take up to 3 people]

(What setting is this? Medieval? Modern? For now, it looks fun so I'll choose a name that's neutral for both but I would like to know.)
"My name is Richard," I say, hoping that this isn't going to too badly. |

"Lyon..." I say.
(This seems interesting.) |

[ Tikobe ] (It's modern/fantasy/sci-fi. You'll see :d) The cloaked man on the right nods and steps back. The man to his left, the other cloaked one, chants in an other-worldly language, holding his arms up to the fire. His cloak catches on fire, and you step forward, thinking something has gone wrong.
However, the flame continues to spread across his body, first his arms, then his torso, and in a moment his whole body is engulfed in flames.
Suddenly red and blue lights begin to flash about from behind you, followed by the sound of blarring police sirens. You look behind you and four police officers are standing in cover, their guns pointed at the man in flames.
"You four, hands up. Everyone else, back away, now!"
The man to your right mumbles under his breath, his hands above his head, "Shoot them. All of them."
You look back with a confused face. "I don't have a gun, a-and even if I did, why would I shoot one cop, let alone four of them?"
The man nods to your hand. You look down to see a handgun in your right hand. How it got there you have no idea, but it's your choice on what to do with it. Help the mysterious men to find out who they are and how you got here, or obey the police?

| I don't know who these men are, and I don't know what the police is doing here. I take the gun and I shoot frantically at all of them. |

Men with cloaks, shielding themselves from the light of the moon and their fire. What did these two want from me? Surely, it must be more than my name. They do have soldiers here with me, watching me, ready to draw the fluids of mortality from every artery in my body, then throw me into that bonfire. Every ounce of my being wanted to just run. I know they'll catch up to me and kill me though.
Who do these people think they are anyway? Against my better judgement, I feel anger swell up in me, perhaps fueled by the site of the burning pyre. "Ahab," I say, turning my eyes from the flame and towards the cloaked man who asked the question. |

[ Tikobe ] Time seems to slow down as you shoot, allowing you to get four accurate shots off before the police can even react. Within a moment, time goes back to normal and the four police officers collapse.
You lower your hands and realize that the gun is gone. Not only that, but the two cloaked men and the armed guards beside you have also vanished.
Suddenly a voice erupts in your head: Take the police car. Drive to 13th Street and find the Jackson Warehouse.
At the same time, your phone buzzes in your pocket. You pull it out and see that your friend Clare is worried about you. She wants to meet up with you at the Starbucks on King Road. You can't be in two places at once, so what do you want to do?

Hold on... What just happened!?
Did I just kill four men!?
Not good, not good at all. In a panic I take the car and head off to meet Clare. I don't trust the voice in my head. I trust my friend. I'll take her over the other option. |
