Credit to Marilyn Kaye- I just edited the basic plot line!
Kingston High.
May 24th, 2008.
Another ordinary day at school. Nothing special or exciting was happening. The weather was warm, but cloudy, the teachers were doling out homework, the gossips were gossiping... Total normalness. The public school had over 1,000 students, but they didn't have enough room in the classes, so the students of Mr. Bernard have geometry 5th period underground, in an old bomb shelter, where everything is isolated. The students always remember to bring a watch, because they can't here the school bells, and they don't want to be late for 6th period.
On this particular day, Mr. Bernard realized halfway through class that he had left their corrected tests upstairs in the staff room, so he runs off to get them.
The students wait, impatiently, for him to get back, but he never does... The time comes for the end of class, and he still isn't back. Nonchalantly, the students file up the stairs, fearing a detention for being late.
Something is strange though. There isn't the usual clamor of students rushing around, talking...
The students look around. Nobody is in the school. There has been no fire drill. Nothing seems out of place- except the absence of people. When looking into a classroom, books are laid out on desks, as if everybody had stood up and left.
Everyone is gone. Nobody is in the stores, houses, restaurants...
What will the students do? Will they cause havoc and steal from the stores? Will they try and rebuild a new society? And finally, how will they find out what happened to everybody else in the world?
That's the background. As we go along the roleplay, I will be PMing some members, and giving them ideas for their characters to move the plot along.
