Welcome to NewTereus Airport!
Enjoy your flight, and please fly with NewTereus Airlines again!
Setting:
NewTereus Airport is settled in a quaint little town in Utah. Its been a busy Holiday weekend, meeting family, last minute business trips, and flights to exotic locales, all before Christmas rolls around this Friday. The airport is covered in lights and tinsel, a large Christmas tree stands in the center of the waiting area all sparkling and shinning beautifully, with exhausted families all snuggled up in their coats as they wait for their flights to finally get back on track. This winter has been a snowy one to say the least, most of the main roads are closed due to snowfall, and according to your Fitter feed, there's a ton of people stranded in their cars in the recent storm that's blowing through right now.
You may be here a while...
Story: [As written by Furaotic]
You're at the NewTereus Airport for your various reasons. Some of you had plans to go on vacations, and take a break from work. Maybe some of you we're off to visit family and relative. Possibly, you could be running from the law. No matter what the case is, you're all in the same boat now.
At exactly 3:47 PM, all flights came to a halt, and you were denied access out of the airport. You we're also denied access onto the planes. Questions quickly arose in masses, and the security guards started forming barricades around exits and shops to prevent theft.
It was 5:23 PM when a voice came over the intercom:
“Hello. I am General Berrimore Lee. I apologize for not reaching you people quicker. I am sure you're all hungry, and miss your family. Let me assure you everything will be okay, but I need everyone to calm down and listen carefully to what I am saying. At around 3:20 PM earlier today, we had a small leak in one of the vents. This leak may have been caused by terrorist activity, and we're not sure what exactly leaked. However, this is all from a tip we got and it's not confirmed yet. We assure you everything is okay, and the matter is being cleaned up. No one is in danger. I will continue to update you on the situation as I learn new things.”
With that, the intercom went silent, and you could hear murmurs of concern. This may be a long night.
Welcome to the remake of Furaotic's 2nd RP, run by the genius behind The Highway and not much else...
It's pretty much a free roam RP. You can talk with NPCs I lay about, you can talk with other RPers, or you can go renegade and try to figure out what is happening. You can pretty much do anything you'd like, and I *PROBABLY* won't be rolling for certain things that you do. However, if I think what you're about to do will only have a negative outcome, that's what you're going to get. So being creative, and cleverly using the environment or other things is highly suggested to get outcomes you want.
As for combat, I will be somewhat directing what happens. You give a command like: "Berry runs in with a fork, and attempts to stab Josh in the eye!" Then Josh can say "I block with my bag of holding!", and depending on your skills and what you're fighting with this and that, will determine if you hit, block, miss, or die. I'll tell you what happens. Probably not fool proof but whatever.
I have certain events that will happen, and endings planned out. All of it is based on what you do, and what you do not do.
An example of which: http://smf.cataclysmdda.com/index.php?topic=6841.0 [Seriously just read the original thread if you can, its all comedy gold, and will give you a great idea of what to expect/do]
NewTereus Airport Layout:
Listen, as much as I'd love to go into the architecture of a fuggin' airport. I don't really care too, it'll make this post a whole lot bigger, and since when do environments ever stick in RPs. I'm going to give you a basic gist of what's what in brackets.
[Main Terminal/Waiting Area] In the center/entrance of the airport, its mostly just seating and ticket areas, along with several TVs that display the flights.
[Shopping Area] In the right wing of the airport is a shopping area about the size of a shopping mall, a little extravagant yes, but its during Christmas and it seems fitting.
[Food Court/Staff Area] In the left wing of the airport is restaurants, fast food places, and a huge cafeteria for both staff and travelers. In the back behind the cafeteria's kitchen is the way to the break rooms and office area.
[VIP] Situated in the main terminal is also the VIP area, up some stairs and to the left you'll get the first class waiting area, where you'll be pampered, taken care of, and get to do business-related video calls in their conference room. If you take the right, it'll take you into the VIP bathroom, why is it VIP? The toilet seats are heated, and they have a guy in there that dries your hands. Fancy!
[Gates] And finally past the main terminal are the gates to the flights.

Skills and jobs are very important. If you want to do something that requires intelligence, like hacking a computer, I'll be more likely to let you do it if you have that skill. Job is also the same. If you're a professional baseball player, and you swing at someone with a bat-like weapon, I'll be more likely to give you the hit. Or if you character is a lawyer and you're trying to persuade someone, I'll most likely give it to you.
AJ-Addon: Also if you are actually a smooth-talker/master-bullshifter in real life and manage to write out sentences that would persuade, fool, or seduce people, I'll let you pass the speech check based on your dialogue alone.
All credit goes to Furaotic for allowing the reboot to happen, I'm basing it entirely off of what his original vision was with some of my stuff added in.
I'm but a mere' GM with a love for this RP and would love to see if finished, by dammit I'll see that through.
Name: Vivian "Vi" Amoureuse
Sex: Female
Age:28
Characteristics: [Ditsy][Happy-Go-Lucky][Optimistic][Daring][Egotistical][Conceited]
Appearance: Vi is a skinnier girl not thin than a model but definitely not the size of Meghan Trainor. She has snow white hair dipped perfectly with violet highlights that bring out the color of her lush blue eyes. Her cheek line is raised high which perfectly compliments her pearly smile and petite dimples. Vi drips with perfect style after diving in the nearest pool of fashion. Her winter couture is to die for with her stunning, white, and thin winter coat lined with 100% wolf pelt that matches her white pants purchased from Chanel and topped off with her thick, red scarf. Vi walks with the strut of a super star and the confidence of general on a ten win streak.
Skills: Charisma|Luck
Flaws: Pill Addiction|Kleptomaniac
Job: Pop Singer Sensation
Backstory: Vi worked her way to the top. Well, she more of got lucky. But she made sure the media only saw her good side. After spending plenty of time sharing the lime light with hits like Lady Gaga, Katy Perry, and irrelevant people like Carly Rae Jepsen, people started to realize her as a figure and eventually everyone got hold of her music. Vi became that really annoying singer you heard on the radio no matter what station and no matter what country. Even during holidays she stayed relevant with her distasteful, but quite catchy covers of Christmas carols and hymns. Only a few days before becoming stuck in NewTereus, she'd been busted for her pill abuse, creating major controversy on social media. Her fans stayed loyal, but over Fitter, Vi promised to go to "rehab" to fix her issue. Too bad this had to happen.
