soap opera game, group 5

[idolpro]

[In your rooms, you start off on the patio of a different large, fancy family estate house: there is a pitcher of sweet drinks as well as glasses sitting on the patio table, as well as a binder labeled ROLES.

the rest of the neighborhood (and the town beyond the neighborhood) is foggy, indistinct at first, and the exact contents inside the house are misty as well, until you choose your Roles and the props from your role. Once you have selected, the rest of the set takes shape: everything you need (or want) is there, regardless of how ridiculous.]

[THE EMPLOYEE is dressed up like themselves, or possibly Leo's twin. She stumbles into the bar and slams down...nothing. She looks pretty broke. Her clothing and face is also splattered with something suspiciously coppery colored but why worry about that]

Bartender... I need to get very drunk.

[ uhhhhhh ]

S...ure, er...

...what can I get for you...?

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[unbr8kable]

Something hard. ...Make it a double, it's been a long night.

[Morning? Whatever time it is]

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[softlyfalling]

[ whatever the fuck time it is ]

Oh, er...

...you weren't already in here, were you?

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[unbr8kable]

...You wouldn't know? Thought I was the one with glasses.

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[softlyfalling]

No, I really could have sworn...

I mean, I'd remember, because you said you had a twin who was plotting against you, and then you threatened to kill yourself in my bar!

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[unbr8kable]

Why would I kill myself? Who would take care of my brother?

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[softlyfalling]

You said you needed to frame your twin for murder, and—

—wait, you're the twin. The twin who did all those terrible things, that made him lose his will to live...

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[unbr8kable]

I am? ...I did?

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[softlyfalling]

Apparently?

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[unbr8kable]

Oh no... After all I did--I guess I was too selfish all along.

Let me have that drink...and you can add this.

[Offers a vial of...something]

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[softlyfalling]

...what is wrong with your family.

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[unbr8kable]

Everything changed after...the accident. Maybe it would've been better if it was me all along...

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[softlyfalling]

What... what happened?

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[unbr8kable]

My whole family died that day... What you thought was my twin...was really...a ghost.

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[composeur]

[ UHHHHHHH. ]

.... you're a mess.

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[unbr8kable]

That's what happens when you work for a living. Can I have my license back?

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[composeur]

What license? You mean my license?

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[unbr8kable]

No--

[Breaks off and sighs]

...Whatever. You were right, the boss did get me a ride, eventually.

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[composeur]

..... did you confess your love after all!?

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[unbr8kable]

--What? No!

I just--did what I was asked, held what I was supposed to hold, and--I guess I did an okay job, 'cause maybe he'll want me to do it again.

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[composeur]

--- wait did you become a criminal after all? Nem, I'm supposed to be the evil twin!

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[unbr8kable]

I'm not a criminal!

[pauses]

...I did make an unlicensed smoothie. But nobody has to know!

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[composeur]

Then what did your Boss have you hold, hm?

Re: SCENE: The Bar

[unbr8kable]

That's confidential. Don't worry about it...
