You walk into the Raccoon City Police Station after seeing a job listing for a specialist. You walk in and were escorted to a dark back room where you and a bunch of other people lined up in front of a wall. The lights go on. You can hear a voice from a speaker. ???: I am Albert Wesker. I assume you are here for the specialist positions. We have 3 openings available. The three that impressed me the most will be our new specialists. (This is a sign up for an Discord RP called REtold Stories. It is a RP reimagining of the original Resident Evil. There are rules for signing up. Rule 1: No Magic. Sorry for the people who like to use magic. Rule 2: No Non-humanoid beings. It makes it easier for the zombies and stuff to get you… Rule 3: You can’t bring any outside weaponry. You will be given a knife, and pistol with 30 rounds, or a sword. You can’t pick up and use guns if you pick the sword and you can’t pick up and use swords if you pick the gun. If you get picked, you will be PMed the Discord link.)
standing almost a whole foot taller than most of the entrants, the boisterous Jackman lets our a cheerful laugh Very well then Sir Wesker, as an eternal ally of justice I believe I am more than capable of footing the bill. Jackman pumps his fist with a massive grin So bring on these tests, you won’t be didappointed
*Eyes practically shining with excitement, Shakespeare lets out a boisterous laugh.* Ah ha ha. Experiments are naught but a folly to I, William Shakespeare. As long as your position provides me with sufficient splendour and inspiration for tales still to become told, I shall proceed forth towards your position. Special is I am, it makes too much sense that the greatest playwright in history takes centre stage in this tale of wonder, daring and glory! Ah ha ha ha!!!
Shinji is standing with his hands in his pockets, watching the two loud people Riiiight. And I'm just a normal guy. Let's just get this started shall we?
Albert Wesker: Let's start the questions... Question One: You are given an order by your superior to kill a man who was found guilty of treason. You know this man is innocent, but you know the consequences of disobeying an order is dishonorable discharge. Do you comply with the order and execute the man, or risk your reputation to save a innocent man's life? Question 2: You and your friend is on a mission. You were both caught and were attacked. You suffered bullet wounds to the legs. Your friend was shot in the chest and torso. You have one medkit that will help with only one persons wounds. Would you patch up your friends wounds and risk the chance of bleeding out, or patch yourself up and leave your friend to the risk of bleeding out? Final Question: How do you like your games? Like a walk in the park, a jog in a forest, or a marathon on a mountain?
Hmm... Well, for question one I'd say that you have the superior court martialed. But if it's between the two of us? A man's life is more important than my career. But if I refuse and get discharged, then what's to stop the superior from just telling someone else to shoot him? Either way it's a no-win situation. Two is simple. Is my partner mortally wounded in the chest? Or is it just a couple of gunshots? If neither are fatal wounds then I'd use the first aid on his wounds, then cut my own clothes to make makeshift bandages to dress my own wound. If his IS fatal then I'll leave him. No point carrying a dead man. Third? Park or forests. I like greenery and nature.
Answer Number One. What is a man but a miserable pile of secrets? If the queen asks you to run a man through, are you truly going to say no? A priest may say they would not, but fold if confronted with the situation. A fool hiding under a banner of self rightousnous would not and would die for his troubles. So the obvious answer is to do as commanded by the one with the superior power so you may live to write another tale. Answer number two. A fatal wound to a mind such as me? If my friend was truly a man of substance, he would agree that I must live even if he were to perish. But they would save themselves in place of myself, so why would I not do the same. Human nature is fickle. We live for our own when the fires of hell are against us, turning on even those who birthed us if it were to come down to their life versus our own. Even those who's job it is to die for us would sooner abandon their mission then fall to the abyss unless they truly have naught ot lose. Answer number three. Do you not understand the gentleman you are adressing, sir? I, William Shakespeare, write. My mind is best suited to making the games not playing them. That is how I entertain myself. I created the game of war within Richard III. "My horse! My horse! My kingdom for a horse!". I created a game of deceit with Macbeth. "Life is a tale told by a idiot and full of sound and fury signifying nothing!". AH. And lest we not forget, I created a game of mischeif of the fae within a Midsummers Nights Dream. "Lord, what fools these Mortals be". I am the great William Shakespeare. These games, Theses tales. This is my gift to mankind! Ah ha ha ha!
Haha, while I had anticipated the presence of some manner of interview, I hadn’t expected it to be so easy. The the first I say there is but one response, as a champion of Justice it is our duty to see the world through to the correct path, no matter the cost to our personal comfort. Thus the only possible answer is to put yourself at risk in order to protect the innocent. For the second our answer is in a similar position. As we are both allies of justice it only makes sense that we are both to see this mission through to the end, thus who to save depends on which of us is more capable of fulfilling the duties allotted us, for we can not afford to fail. Lastly, A hero has no time for games, they are to devote their every waking moment to the good of all, not their leisure
OOC: I like how we have pretty much the entire spectrum here. The guy all about himself, the guy all about Good, and the guy in the middle. Lol
(edited by Akamoto_Shinji)
OOC: how does it feel being the only sane man?
Albert Wesker: I see... I will contact you whenever I make up my choice. You are free to go.
Shinji looks at the two. So. Any idea what we're signed up for? His gaze turns to Jackman, and he smirks Have we met before? Or is it just me?
Jackman joyfully laughs and gives Shinji a hard slap on the back Quite simple my comrade, we just became highly elite guardians of Truth, Justice, and the American way, the first line of defense against all manner of villainous foes. The man’s smile drops for a moment as he studies Shinji’s face before shrugging I’m pretty sure I’d recognize a fellow ally of justice, I do believe this is the first time we’ve ever become acquainted. My name is Jackman, George Jackman
Ack. Shinji needs to steady himself not to fall over from the pat. Gotcha. I'm Akamoto. Nice to meet you. I like truth, Justice is good if it's not just an excuse for petty people to do bad things. Though... I can't say much about "The American Way". I'm not a fan of football and apple pie and beer and steak. He holds a hand out for a shake Nice to meet you.
Jackman returns Shinji’s handshake with a gorilla-like grip The American Way is much more than Sunday Night Football or what we eat, it’s about our guiding principles as a Nation, those set forth in our Constitution, that all men are created equal and are afforded a right to life, liberty, and the pursuit of happiness, as well as our duty as the Land of the Free and Home of the Brave to stand against tyranny wherever it may show itself, “for a threat to democracy anywhere, is a threat to democracy everywhere.”
Ah ha ha ha! Twould seem that you fine fellows do indeed get along verily. *Shakespeare laughs heartily.* The seeds of friendship are what allow the roots of society to thrive and branch out into the great unknown of this wide, antiquated world. The reserved master Akamoto and Master George, whose country holds the seat of power once held by the mighty Roman empire and my wonderful home, ruled by the benevolent Elizabeth all who came before and after. Truly, you will make the great heroes of the fantastic tale yet to be written. But worry not. For I, the great William Shakespeare, shall make sure your tale is penned and delivered gloriously to the masses for them to laugh, cry and cheer. All as the muses foretell. Ah ha ha! *Shakespeare bows to Akamato and George.*
Huh. I don't mind that kind of American way. He shakes firmly Good, The petty kind of way isn't something I'm interested in. He listens to Shakespeare and bows back politely Nice to meet you.
