Anyone who likes playing Secret Hitler or social deduction games in general, or roleplaying, or especially if you've ever thought "what if Secret Hitler... but with roleplaying" would probably enjoy checking out a game being run over on the cube that needs two new players cause the game balance doesn't work when people drop out.

... cause if we don't get any replacements the game is just gonna stall indefinitely <.<

Trying to get a roleplay thread started that doesn't lean on the same death-game premise we've been on for months, since people are getting burnt out on it - in the whole wide-ass world of RP, doing just one thing over and over is clearly gonna get dull eventually.

Problem is we're not really sure... what to make a thread about.

And it does have to be about something; there's already a Big Everything Sandbox thread and nobody uses it. People clearly want something more specific than "everyone is here, do whatever". (Heck, even in the cubes - four of the five "regular" channels have some gimmick to them, even if it's one people ignore half the time.)

We've come up with some ideas - magical girls, magical college, magical superheroes - and you can kinda see we have a bit of a one-track mind.

Any of y'all have any brilliant ideas? Or mediocre ones, we'll take those too.

The backstory:

A bunch of kids in the high school anime club decide to throw a birthday party for the little brother of one of the members:

• Hallie Mathews, a cat-ear-headband-wearing card game nerd with definitely the normal number of parents (our character!)
• Samantha "Sayaka" Dross, the self-proclaimed Eternal Knight
• Evan "Ikei" de Lune, a foreign exchange student from Japan
• Lillia Hartwell, Sayaka's sidekick
• Rose Rowell, approximately the only sane one
• Isaac, the one with the little brother
• James, the little brother
• Mary, who the GM compared to "Rena Ryuugu but" and the second half of that comparison is a spoiler 😁

They spend the prologue session grabbing the cake (two cakes, actually!) from a shopkeeper named Tony Spiders, nyooming around on heelies, and generally being very silly so everyone lets their guard down. (It's a horror campaign "inspired by Silent Hill, Corpse Party, and Weaver's Nan Quest series". This silliness isn't going to last.)

When they get back to school to set up the party, they somehow get thrown into an evil parallel version of the school, James is missing, Mary is talking nonsense, and there's this twisted monster chasing them around.
