A Temporal Insanity

[Basil]

OKAI GAISE, I just got an idea while talking to the Camelith and reading about a fun paranormal phenomenon: time slips.

Let's say our characters are in the Zone somewhere, like Agroprom or Yantar, and run into a strange kind of anomaly. The area they were in seems to have changed...because the anomaly was a time slip, and they walked right into the future.

In this future, the Zone is going AWOL and reality is in tatters. Anomalies are everywhere and are reaching cataclysmic proportions, not to mention the Zone's stalker population has plummeted dramatically. All this is due to a secret project buried somewhere in the Zone by Soviet scientists and activated by Monolithians in a last ditch fanatical attempt at stopping stalkers from reaching the CNPP.

And so our characters get to meet their older selves and have to travel back to their own time to stop the Monolith from activating the device.

Oh yeah. SAVE THE WORLD.

Clever, but we need to finish about 10 other RPs first, namely Surge and Recon.

I just read Asimov's short story "Robot Visions" last night, which also about temporal travel into the future. It's a pretty damn fascinating thing to write about, and could certainly do well for an RP plot.

BUT, we need to finish the present RPs first.

I've got a megapost coming up for Recon, and will post in Surge if Burnzz does.

Would this be in the AU RP, or the ordinary RP?

AU - we've got epidemics going on in the regular RP ATM. Not to mention this is a bit... out there.

Summary of wut.

... And specific details before everyone starts adding them in as we go along.

Liek: OMG, Rostok is now a giant crater!

[Afterburner]

OMG Sidorovich now hosts a radio! Barkeep now works as a stripper! Tolik now owns a bordello! Goats...well...

Hate to post this here and fag this thread up further, but I can't access chatango from work.

Can anyone bother making a throwaway rookie character just to RP with Matvey and get him into RP proper from the Cordon so he can join the fun? I've already got four in the main RP, not to mention the ones I'm bringing back in Surge, and the three alternate future personas I'm using in Recon. That's almost ten already. Bringing another one into the mix won't make the job easier.

[Karcentric]

Will do.

[Διμι]

Thank you, sire.

[Afterburner]

Just work him up to Rostok, I've got something for the rookies there. I've edited the khanpost a bit last night. It's just that, whenever I get arsed to post it, my craptop battery is usually empty.

That old teapot...
