My Brother
This is an experimental rpg in which the audience will control the main character solely through the provided polls. I, Firestar, will be your Game Master today. The mystery and the story will unfold based off of the way you decide to shape it. I was inspired by ᴡɪɴᴅʏᴛᴜʀᴛʟᴇ/Meadowrunner 's Choose your own adventure: A poll-based story and my background as an amateur Dungeon Master in Dungeons & Dragons (5e). This is by far the most simplified form of rpg game I will have run, and I am looking forward to the challenge. Please refrain from replying to the posts in this thread -- with the exception of poll participation, of course.
Without further ado, let's begin.
Once upon a dreary countryside of Victorian-Era England, there was a funeral. Naturally, you knew most everyone there. Your brother wasn't the most popular person in the town, but he had enough friends to warrant a small service. Although the other mourners have offered you their support and sympathies, you find it difficult to truly believe that he is dead. Ever since your parents disappeared, it's just been you and your brother against the cruel tricks of this life. Even now, as the gravedigger shovels dirt and the visitors clutch wilting flowers to black cloth against their chests, your brother's death seems surreal...unreal.
An older woman approaches you. Despite her black garb, you recognize her as Mrs. Tripple, your warm and widowed neighbor. For a second you both pause, lost for words. She sighs, looking you over before finally speaking to you.
