[i]As you walk through the streets of Offtopic, browsing all the mayoral (CEO?) candidates, a figure in a black trench-coat runs into you. As he pushes past, you try to say sorry, but hes gone, lost in the crowd. As you shrug and continue walking, you feel a weight in your pocket. Looking inside, you find a black plastic case branded with a yellow lightning bolt inside a broken gear. Opening up the case, you find a flash drive, branded with the same insignia. You decide to take a look when you get home.[/i]
[i]When you boot up your computer and insert the drive, you find a series of files. The first is a video from an unknown individual. She has a hood concealing her face, and is wearing dark clothing. On the wall behind her, illuminated by a spotlight, is the Broken Gear insignia.[/i]
"Good Evening. I represent the Order of the Broken Cog. We may sound cryptic, but that is a precaution we need to take. Our group intends to topple the regime put in place by the User you may know as 'CrazyCobaltMan'. You may not believe me, and I understand. You have fought alongside this man countless times, and may have begun to trust him. You should not. He has been stockpiling weapons dredged from the dark between dimensions, and making trades for power. You may think he will use them for peace, as he does with his "Titans." Tell me, have you ever seen them carrying heavy loads, other than their rifles, or seen them help construct a building? No. They are used to instill fear, and contain any rebellion before it even starts. That is his purpose. Make himself appear humble and generous, but keep the real work behind his mechanical curtain. Now, you have a decision to make. Join us, and help shatter the cage you are contained in. Or, you may leave, and forget about us. The choice is yours."

[spoiler]This is where the RP section can start. Choose your path!
And no, I won't be offended if you work with the Broken Cogs.[/spoiler]
I’d recommend using words like “if” when running an RP, and speaking for the protag, rather than assuming our actions directly. “If you turn around to say something he’s gone” for instance.
That way it doesn’t feel out of place. Six, for instance, wouldn’t have turned around to apologize, but rather to cursr the guy out.
(Although, even more than that, I’d recommend running these step by step, letting us choose our own course of action, and establish our own thoughts along the way)
Anyway, I would participate, but Six probably would’ve just crushed the flash drive under her boot, and Xi doesn’t actually have a computer he could use! Or pockets!
