Sometimes, things just get stupid. Not overwhelming stupid or idiotic stupid but that ''law of averages' kind of stupid that at some point, somewhere, it had to happen' kind of stupid. Such as the so-called 'Rule 63' Gun, an alternative torture device for those who thought a laser had been done too many times before. Interrogation techniques with a 'truth presentation' that will make you sing, loose your mind or have a fit. Or perhaps the gravity bomb, so designed to make creative murder in any direction it pleases. Another would be a creature, nine foot tall with five guns in each forearm and scarlet skin with a dislike for green clothes.
All this for a small, glowing pendant being held to ransom as the city of Elnewiese is brought to a stand still before being told to move again at gun point. Prisons have been emptied then armed, the insane and vicious have been leashed, ready to be released.
And you watch from the roof top, far above the chaos below. There is acrid smoke, gaunt birds landing then deciding to find somewhere else, a low, regular beat of a Rope Giant's feet pound on roads, neon slowly lighting the city up in its luminescent splendour. It was what made this city famous; its magnitude of light the buildings were covered in. Advertisement had never been so amazing to see. There is a glitter from below, as a butterfly flutters onto your shoulder. Its immediately flicked off.
"Come on! We leave now, this place is extorted then shaped into a massive barracks. Then they go an flatten everywhere else. We run, they come after us. Help?"
An RP idea...
Any suggestions to take things further are greatly appreciated.
