Cave Story

Cave Story (Plotsys ID: -1)
Summary
The world of Pixel is one of science and technology, a world containing robots wielding laser weaponry. Nonetheless it has one ancient remnant of ancient magic: a flying island. The surface world requests the aid of a group of heroes, seeking to learn the fate of a team of scientists researching the island's mysteries. Before they find the answers, the heroes will have to delve deep into the mysteries of the island; deep into the Cave Story.

Events So Far

Our heroes (and mercenaries, and at least one bored villain) are deposited on the flying island by a very nervous Pixelian helicopter pilot. They meet Misery, a blue-skinned witch who offers to help then teleports them all deep within the caves without their permission. Within the caves they meet the Mimiga (a race of anthropomorphic bunnies), learn that Sue Sakamoto has been hiding within the village, and engage in a few tense standoffs.

In the end one of the Mimiga is carried off by Misery, while a robot named Balrog drops a few surprising facts while keeping the heroes from following his erstwhile ally.

Other Information

Contrast and juxtaposition. The story is about caves that are high in the air. The theme is modern science amidst ancient magic. NPCs are comedic and in many cases cute, but their fates and prospects are grim.

We're looking for a few good men, women, and other. The plot will continue for several sessions and there will be opportunity for players to switch in and out based on real life needs and conflicting scenes. While I'd love to see a recurring core group, I'll try to allow for as many participants as are interested - if not in the first scenes, then as the scenes continue.

There is an IC radio set up to cover the Caves. It is frequency 442.2
