The Stay Safe series that I am writing (when I can be bothered) are the clues for a game. Not a nice safe easy game - but one of those games where you have to travel and get to certain places... coming across challenges and enemies. I forget the proper word for it. A real life game where you can meet real life people and real life players - although the defeating enemy parts are kind of like role playing.

The story goes something along the lines of the players are on a mission in a world that is gradually getting crazier, scarier and darker. Their aim is mostly to survive, avoid the Chasers and try to reach The Center where the Base Computer is to reset it or something... since it's because the Base Computer is not being maintained properly/has a virus or something (not entirely sure yet). The person/people who do this would get a prize. The little poems I write are the player's instructions for the next part of the game - a clue/idea that they will need in order to 'survive'... but the instructions have been corrupted. That's why they don't really always make sense.

Also, the instructions can only be found on certain screens in random places that the player has to find... although how they find the clues and what sort of clues they need to find the instructions, I haven't yet worked out. The instructions will be hidden - like on a tv screen in a shop, the computer display of a check-out counter, stuff like that, so you need a good memory or to always have pen and paper handy. The instructions don't always appear everyday. They can, but it can be months before the next one appears. They might even appear more than once a day - it appears to be random, although the player will generally have an idea of when the next instruction will be out.

Enemies may be Chasers, other players who want to get ahead of you or get you out of the way or something more abstract, imagined or made up or just an object in the way (in which case it would be a Challenge). Not exactly sure how the fighting happens, but hitting people or injuring isn't allowed. The game will be under constant monitoring, how - I can't tell you, but players WILL be watched very closely to ensure they don't breach the rules (I have yet to write). Maybe there will be cards or dice or something involving skills or a race or a quiz or a riddle challenge or something like that. It'll be tricky.

Anyway, it's all under construction and may not be ready for several years, since I still need to finish gathering a team. So look out in the near future for odd items or ordinary items around your area... you never know whether it's part of the game.

BTW, anything the game may involve will NOT uphold any illegal activities.

So... stay safe, everyone.
