I've just realized this might be a bit hard to keep PG13 so I've had to close this 😔

This is a free form roleplay which means... add to the plot as you please.

It's designed to be a little energizer to get some creative juices flowing.

You wake up to silence.

Not the peaceful kind—the wrong kind.

The kind that presses in too close. The kind that makes your skin itch… or should. You’re not entirely sure, because something is missing.

Something important.

You don’t remember falling asleep.

You don’t remember coming here.

But you are here.

The first thing you notice is the mansion.

It stretches endlessly in every direction—grand, decayed, and wrong in subtle ways. Chandeliers hang crooked. Portraits line the walls, their painted eyes scratched out. The air smells faintly of something metallic… or maybe that’s just your imagination.

Or maybe it isn’t.

The second thing you notice is the others.

Strangers.

Scattered across a vast, dust-coated foyer, each waking in their own quiet confusion.

And then, the third thing—the worst thing:

Something has been taken from you.

One of you tries to scream… but no sound comes out.

Another reaches for the wall… and feels nothing.

Someone else stares ahead, unblinking—because they cannot see.

One listens desperately… to a world that has gone completely silent.

Each of you is missing one of your senses.

And somehow, impossibly—

You know the others are too.

A low click echoes through the mansion.

A door slams somewhere far away.

Then—

A voice.

Not heard. Not spoken.

Felt. Inside your mind.

"Welcome, chosen.
You were not taken at random.
Each of you carries something… rare.
A gift. A flaw. A fracture.
You will need it to survive.”


The grand doors behind you vanish.

Where they once stood is now only a solid wall.

And ahead?

The mansion shifts.

As you begin to gather yourselves, a mirror at the far end of the hall cracks loudly.

Your reflections don't match your movements.

One of them...

Smiles.

Your move.

PERIMISES

🖤 Each of you have woken up in an abandoned mansion with no recollection of how you got here

🖤 You have each lost one of your senses (sight, sound, hearing, your voice, touch)
& gained a special ability that can be used to help you survive the place.

(You can decide on this ability just don't make it too overpowered)

THE THREAT

This place is alive.

The halls rearrange when you’re not looking. Doors lead to different rooms each time they’re opened. Shadows linger too long. Some… move when they shouldn’t.

And something else is here.

You won't see it at first but somehow you know it's there... watching... learning... adapting.

And it seems particularly interested in those who are… vulnerable.

--

THE CHALLENGE

You are not meant to survive alone.

Use your special ability (you can decide what that is but try not to make it too overpowered) and the senses you have left to help... or exploit... others.

--

WHY YOU?
The voice wasn’t lying.

Each of you was chosen.

But why?

Maybe you are:

👁Someone who sees things others don’t (intuition, visions, paranoia?)

⚔️Someone who has survived the impossible before

⚡️Someone hiding a dangerous secret or power

💔Someone who has nothing left to lose

🌎Someone who was about to change the world… or destroy it

🐉Someone already… not entirely human

Or maybe—
