Brute sat on his sofa playing halo 3. Heavy metal blasting from the speakers. His girlfriend just broke up with him a week ago.
And since then he couldn’t muster to do anything. He just sat there like a five year old glued to the tv. Mountains of junkfood corrupting the space around him.
His roommate entered. “Goddam*t, Brute. It’s been a week already. And you’re still sitting there.” Brute ignored him while driving his warthog around, splattering alien skulls.
“The old Brute would just laugh about it. And start to find some new meat.” Brute knew that Fattie, his roommate was right.
But there was something about Theresa that made him feel complete. And now she was gone. He grabbed the remote and raised the volume.
Fattie understood that he wouldn’t get trough to him. He just sighed as he clawed his way trough piles of garbage. “And they call me a pig then”, he thought as he stroke over his massive belly.
“Agh” he thought . “Why do I care. If he just wants to sit their, crying like a little baby.” He pulled an already opened bottle of coke out of the fridge.
He also found some leftovers from yesterdays meal. “ It would have to do” he said as he looked at the empty fridge.
He walked into his room sitting himself down behind his computer. He silently laughed as he heard Brute cursing. “Getting killed on easy difficulty.”
He said shaking his head in disbelieve. “What a noob.” Fattie waited until his computer was up and running, while consuming the leftovers.
Finally it was on, he thought as he took a sip from the coke. Surfing trough all sorts of shady sites.
Brute cursed again as the same dude killed him again. “It wasn’t fair” he thought as he threw his remote at the tv.
Since she left him nothing seemed to work. Nothing seemed to make him happy ever again. Suddenly Fattie burst out of his room.
“Brute, You’ve got to see this.” Brute looked at him his zipper clearly open, sweat dripping from his head. “No thanks.” he said.
Fattie ignored the disgusted look on Brutes face as he closed his zipper. “No seriously, you’ve got to see this.”
“What’s so important that I have to see it” “Because, I’ve I would say it. You wouldn’t believe me” Brute had to admit that he was intrigued. But was It worth it to get up?
He looked at the tv. It was like the game laughed at him, getting killed on easy difficulty.
Brute sighed as he got up, turning the tv off. “I’m coming” he muttered as he started to find a route trough the rubbish.
After what seemed an eternity he reached Fattie’s room. His massive body obscuring the monitor. “You really need to lose some weight Fattie” he said while he stood next to him.
He was looking at a Live stream on some site, safely settled on the dark sides of the interwebs. “Shut up Brute. Just look.” Brute watched as a timer appeared on the screen.
Counting down from ten. As he waited for the seconds to pass. He felt his curiosity increasing.
The timer hit zero. They saw a empty room appearing. Tattered giant curtains hanging from the ceiling. A chandelier hanging in the middle.
Only half of the lights seemed to work. Brute had to concentrate. The stream wasn’t of superior quality. Hell it was even black and white. A figure appeared.
Brute carefully observed the man. He was dressed in an old circus director suit complete with a high hat. It looked like he had been wearing the suit for years on end.
A mask in the form of a smiling fox hiding his face.
“Hello viewers, nice to see you again” the mask said with a british accent. “I am your host, mister Fox. And welcome back to ‘The Game’ .
As most of you have noticed this is a free stream. How can this be, you think. Are we tired of collecting money?” another figure appeared in the screen wearing a pig mask.
Pouring wine into a glass, fox took the glass. The pig moved himself out of view.
“Of course we are not. It is because this will be a new sort of game. In the previous game we had a few involuntary volunteers participating in our little game.
” Mr. fox and the room disappeared, Brute saw a play yard appearing. It was night. Lights appeared in the distance. Quickly closing the distance.
“Oh my god!” Fattie said. “Are those children?” Brute couldn’t believe his eyes. It were indeed little kids holding flashlights, baseball clubs and sticks.
They quickly climbed the little wooden castle in the sandpit. Suddenly a groaning appeared, quickly followed by dark shadows surrounding the castle. The kids started to scream
even louder as they tried to push the shadows away. A kid was dragged from the castle, its screaming abruptly stopped as the shadowy figures grouped around the victim.
“Are those…..” Brute mumbled. It took Fattie a long time to come up with an answer. “Yes I think it’s The Disease.” He quietly said, still eying the horror on the screen.
Memories flew trough Brutes mind. Newsflashes over the spread of The Disease, shocking movies of people going completely insane. But that was years ago.
The Disease was now under control for many years. All research of The Disease was forbidden. It was given the death penalty in every country. Using The Disease for games?
He couldn’t wrap his mind around it. That man was insane!
The video stopped and Mister Fox came back in the picture. He was taking a sip from his wine. Brute could almost hear his face go sour. Fox spitted the wine out and dropped his wine.
The glass breaking into little pieces as it hit the floor. “The French will have to learn how to make good wine” He giggled. “But where was I?....
Ah yes, this time it’s going to be a little different. This time we are searching for volunteers to participate in our little game. But why would one want to join, you ask.”
The man with the pig mask appeared again, this time holding a black briefcase. “Because the winner of our game is going to get one million dollars.” Fox opened the briefcase.
“That’s a lot of money,.” Fatty said. “We only accept one hundred participants to our little event. So that means, that you have a one in hundred chance of winning a million.
That’s a lot better than just gambling isn’t it?... If you decide to enter ‘The Game’ just fill out the form on the site. We will do the rest.”
The pig disappeared from the screen. “ So that’s all folks. See you back in a few months. And if you can’t wait so long I’ve got a new vid for you. Free of charge of course.”
A Girl appeared she couldn’t be older than fourteen. She was wearing two crossed swords on her back. And two guns. One strapped to each one of her legs.
Not far from her there was a cage. Filled with people, all having The Disease. They roared and groaned, hands stretched out towards the girl. Without a warning the door opened.
The infected immediately crawled out running towards the girl. The little girl just laughed as she ran towards them. She pulled out her pistols. The pistols barked red hot flames.
Taking many of the infected down. She ran out of bullets, and in one flowing motion she pulled out her two swords and sliced a man’s head.
The remaining infected quickly went down in a flurry of blades. The video zoomed in on the little girl. Her face splattered with blood. “Do you wanna play a game?”
The video ended. the girls bloody face still laughing into the camera. “That’s just f*cked up.” Fattie said. “Should we warn the authorities?” “Nope” Brute answered. “ It’s not our problem.”
The Pig walked towards mister Fox. “She did well. Didn’t she?” Fox asked looking at the video. “She learned from the best.” Pig replied.
“Yes, she did.” Fox proudly said. She looked just like her mother. “What were you going to ask?” “I still have my doubts about advertising our activities, to get volunteers.
We might get some unwanted attention.” “You worry too much old friend, just be happy that if everything goes well, you’re going to be extremely wealthy.”
“But that’s only if we are going to get enough fools to participate.” Fox laughed “ There are a lot of desperate men in the world Mister pig. We will have enough players.
We should hope that they make our game…… interesting.”

Welcome to my first
rp as
GM. I will try to make this as awesome as possible.
First some background.
The Disease is a sort of zombie virus. But not the romero kind, it's is more like those from 28 weeks later.
(These are movies, if you don't know what i'm writing about. I would suggest to find some time to watch them)
This means they can run, jump,.... everything a normal people can do with the exception of using tools.
The disease started in Japan. But the government of the world quickly saw the danger in it. And didn't take any chances. All known locations of the infected were obliterated. Great parts of asia went lifeless in the blink of an eye. Even in the industrialised countries, great parts were cleansed.
It is now a decade later. Civilisation is rebuilding itself, repairing the damage to the infrastructure, etc..; But crime rates are at an all time high; The prise of Medical care is spiraling out of contol. There are food riots, No freedom of speech, endless workshifts,...
This is the world you live in!
You have nothing to look forward to, the world is going to hell. But then there is a glimmer of hope as you see the video stream. This is your way out of here to get to the good life. After all what do you have to lose?
The only thing you have to do is outlive/kill the others.
