Refuge, The Hope

Seeking refuge from the horrors of the world, you fled. And, miraculously, the Boat came to you, from across time and space, to being you safely to a new home.

But now the boat is dying. And you wonder if you will ever find a new home, or if you will die here in the astral sea, forever a refugee.

Long Description

War. Oppression. Disaster.

Throughout history, these things have plagued humanity, driving untold numbers of refugees from their homes in search of respite from their suffering.

You are one of that great countless number. And you are fortunate, for you have found a way out.

There is a ship, a ship which exists outside of time and space, which travels by its own mysterious will for one purpose: to save the fortunate few it selects as passengers from the dire fates that await them in their own time and place, and bring them to a new home, where they can be safe.

And so it is that the group of you, most having never met, from many different times and place, fleeing from all manner of nightmares, became its latest batch of passengers. And as it approaches its destination, you try to think what your new home might be like, and how you will live there.

But as you all struggle to come to terms with the prospect of your new life, with what has happened to you, and with each other, there is one inescapable fact with which you must also deal with: the good ship Refuge is dying.

And soon there will not be enough room left aboard her for all.

We hold onto hope that our dreams of a better life will be realized. But will we find that an empty dream, and wander in engless dark? Or will our hope in the future lead us to a better place?

Game will involve about a third of the characters dying, beginning about halfway into game, with players choosing to volunteer or not, and random draw being used to determine which characters will die otherwise (players of dead characters are welcome to remain to observe game OOC). Game is vaguely Nordic-esque in style, with no plot and revolving around the characters simply talking about their relationships, past, and feelings. 18+ or with permission.
