There haven't been much forum games around here, so I'm going to go ahead and start one.


Ok, here we go!
Rules
1. You write 3 sentences in the next post, continuing the story.
2. It must be somewhat related to the previous 3 sentences.
3. Don't get too stupid. I mean, look what happened to the choose your own adventure forum. (Seriously guys... )
4. The sentences must be in CODE tags.

I think thats it. I'll go ahead and be ref on this (I have final say on if something is too stupid or out of context). I'll settle disputes if any arise.

Also, if you want to ask questions or what not, you can just write outside the CODE tags and I'll be happy to answer.

I'll start:

Jeffery Davis was walking down the street one day, enjoying the crumbling city around him. It was a beautyful day, and all was quiet, especially since The Disaster. As he walked down the street, something breifly caught his eye at the edge of an alley, before it vanished.

As he walked down the street, something briefly caught his eye at the edge of an alley, before it vanished. It was the only moving thing he'd seen in weeks. After freezing for just a second he bolted after it. Could it be what he thought? He ducked round the corner. "Dammit, another FUCKING cat!" He swore out load at another day ruined by yet another dashed hope.

I presume that the mighty CornJer reserves the right to blam crap? Cause if that's not the way you saw it going at all feel free to ignore my addition and continue as though it never happened. I'm terribly insecure. :D

EDIT: I was going to keep SJ's yellowtext but then it don't really work with my colour.

Fair enough, I thought I'd be smart and try to preserve it over many posts so you could see who-wrote-what, to an extent.

Down, yours is completely fine. A little contradictory to what superjer wrote, but almost trivial. Lets all try to use consistent colors though. MY TURN.

He swore out load at another day ruined by yet another dashed hope. He stood there, stunned and demoralized for a minuite, before continuing to trudge on. However, after walking for another half hour, he did find himself some frozen steak, a bag of Doritos, and some stale bread at an old resturant. "Enough to keep me going" Jeff said aloud with a smile.


Edit: Changed colors.

Upon further inspection he discovered that the bag of doritos had already been opened, the chips removed, and refilled with hundred dollar bills. Ol' Jeffy's heart rose and sank, first the brief pang of excitement upon finding money, and then the realization that it no longer held any value. As he uncomfortably gnawed on the thawing steak he heard a catastrophically loud explosion far away towards the maroon setting sun.

I don't care what you people say, I prefer things to be formatted.

Another one. They'd been getting more frequent of late. Warming the steak in his hands, he began the slow trek back to his latest 'home'.

Good formatting Aaron? :) EDIT: I was reusing words, which is bad and evil. So it's now 'trek'.
Edit the second: fixed one of my bad spelling mistakes. I hope my wee bit hasn't killed it though...

Well I think the idea is that whoever writes the next bit takes the story where that person wants... Like I said that he was heading home, but I have no idea what he'd do once there. Therefore if you fancy him taking a detour on the way back and can do it three sentences, go for it!

Also, disease? Whaa?

I added the whisky thing as I know a man whose job is to travel around the world (to some really random places) and sell lots of whisky to businessmen. He works for Bell's and has been to HK I believe.

"What?" Jeff said; but at that very moment, Linus's face turned into that of Darth Vader. Then he woke up, bumping his head on the roof of the gondola he was laying in. "Shit", he said, looking from the water at the Hong Kong Skyline.

Hou was very confused. Who had he been- Jeff? He was going to have to lay off that cheap imported whisky; it always made him have those disturbing dreams.

He couldn't believe the time. His wife was supposed to be here hours ago and bring take-out. As he rubbed his grumble-belly his phone began to ring with a familiar tone.

It was Linus Torvalds. Hou was astonished, after the last kernel update had to be cancelled due to his monkey business he was sure Linus wouldn't call him again.

"Hey asshat, tell me what the password to the zip file you sent me is so I can stop talking to you," Linus menaced.

Hou Ling was boggled. He had stopped working with Linus for two months now, and only now he had bothered to call him? A programming major in college, Hou had learned English at the age of 16 to work in his passion: Free Software Development.

I dunno, other than Havokk's completely idiotic parts, and Ribbon's inability to stop thinking about Linus Torvalds... this one went pretty well! A story about Free Software Development isn't very interesting, but at least it made sense. There could have always been a police raid engineered by Linus on Hou's home, and some kind of daring escape and battle against corruption in the police force.

Aaronjer? Are you drunk?........?

Or do you just read random trucks from years ago and then remember there was something you wanted to say?

Maybe a little bit of both...
