Everyone is John: A Roleplaying Adventure [Revived]

@Sadsnake have control!


John wakes up at an intersection. It’s night. There’s a pub and a club around the corner.

“Hey. Look at you. You need to do something in your life…go meet new people… maybe that club is a good place to start, yeah?”

“E-eh? Who are you?”

John looks around, but no one is around.

“Where are you?”

“Not so bored anymore, are you? I’m one of the many people in your head. I’ve surfaced because your life is in dire need of fixing. And I’m here to help you get it back together.”

"Oh, okay. What should I do first? "

A concerned good samaritan will recommend a visit to a good mental hospital and a long vacation from life.

“Well, depends. You could go to that club other there and try to meet people, find some stuff to do after your workday. But hey…you’re awfully trusting, you know. Not all voices will be good with you.”

“And…please don’t to people about me. I’m pretty shy, you know. And I plan on staying with you until your life’s all patched up.”

“Um… all right.”

John goes into the bar. It’s full of people. John stands near the entrance.

“Look around, try finding someone that’s happy to be here, those with smiles. That’s usually how you know you can approach them. Then just walk to them, introduce yourself, and I’ll guide you for the rest of it.”

He looks around nervously. Two girls seem to be talking over a glass of drink. One of them has a long, bright scarlet hair, while the others have a short cropped top black hair.

“Uh… those two?”

“Mnh. Trying people that are alone is easier, but those two can be okay as well. Don’t be too afraid, you look cute when you’re nervous. Greet them, introduce yourself and tell them it’s your first time here, and ask them for tips.”

“Um… okay.”

John approaches the women. Noticing him walking to them, they stop talking.

Woman: Something we can help you with?

John:…

[Roll succeed]

John: Yes. My name is John. John Doe. This is my first time here, so do you have any tips on what should I do around here?

The women glance at each other for a moment. They seem to reach an understanding.

“Sure. Well, what are you here for? Just drinking? Eating? Clubs? Or are you looking for the usual?”

John is speechless.

Um… what now?

“Just relax. Tell them you wanted to shake things up and meet new people. Don’t tell them you didn’t know people beforehand, that usually isn’t a good sign. Ask them their name, too.”

“I- I…”

[Rolling succeed]

“Well, I’m just here to shake things up, if you catch my drift. Maybe meet some new people. Come to think of it, I don’t know your names.”

“I’m Sara. This is Mira.”

Sara runs her finger through her long, auburn hair.

“So, John, what you usually do for fun?”

Now? Can I go home now?

“You’ll go home with one of the two. Or with both if you’re Lucky. Or with none, but I’ll make sure you try your best. That question… is bad news. Uhh…tell them you listen to music. No need to name specific artists, just a genre should be enough. Even you can do that. And compliment them while you’re at it.”

I-I can’t do that!

[Roll fail]

John freezes in front of the two women.

Bidding 2 starts!

(God dammit John!)

All right, John. Yer’ gonna run out of this building as fast as you can and Yer gonna find the closest natural body of water.

“E-eh? Who are you?”

The girls stare at John weirdly.
