(Note: This was based on Metro 2033, a book and game which are both brilliant in my view.)
============ The year is 1937... ============ --------------------- 14th November...
The planet was attacked by an unknown force...
Bulgaria got the first of it. The US, Russia and Britain sent in some of their own soldiers to see what had happened, but nobody came back. The leaders of Russia, America and England were starting to think that the terrorists were killing off their soldiers.
-------------------- 19th November...
At this time, Bulgaria was completely void of life. But that wasn't all...
Switzerland and Germany had been sending out broadcasts to the US and Russia about what was going on. They were being attacked, too. They said the terrorists used unknown technology that was far beyond their own. However, as the US and Russian soldiers were sent over to Germany and Switzerland, a small group of tourists fled Switzerland and headed for France to try and get back to England... they barely missed having their lives robbed. what they didn't know was why Britain didn't recieve their signals or whether France had been affected by the terrorists.
Whatever was to happen, they were going to have to force their way through France in order to be able to sail or fly to Britain.
-------------------- 21st November...
This is where the story begins - You're one of the tourists of the group, and you start off in Geneve. As a group of survivors from the feared terrorist attacks, you must work your way through France to get back to England. There is no idea of what France would be like... chances are the terrorists have already started eating away at France. You never know...
Be warned, however: Sending out broadcasts could be a dangerous thing. The terrorists could pick up the signal and hunt you down. At the same time, they could save your life... will you take the risk?

(We'll start once we get one or two more people... if not, then it'll just be the two. And that would make surviving chances rather slim.)

(Alright, let's start.)
Martin was sat in a rather dusty bar - only two or three others were there, along with the barman. "..." He looked through the window by the entrance, noticing the sky was full of black clouds, and cars had been left abandoned in the streets. He then looked to the nearby radio sat on the stool. One of the antennas were bent, but that didn't stop it from working. All he could hear was the static crackling noise... but that had been going on for the last hour or so. "Bloody signal." He mumbled to himself, taking a sip of his beer.

Elisa looked around to see where she was...she was lost. She took out her map to find out where her location was.
"Hmm...I'm definately lost." She looked around for landmarks.

Martin looked to Nick, mainly thinking about what the terrosists wanted. A slight sense of confusion caused him to blank out for a bit, until he looked at his beer wondering. "I dunno... they're probably a bunch of militia from Bulgaria that wanted to take over..." He mumbled. At that time, a very light and short beep sounded on the radio. Martin glanced at it, wondering what it could have been. A distress call was the only thing he was hoping it was. "... Hm..." Martin got up from his stool and walked towards the door. When he opened it, a few ashes were brushed away from the doorway, and he looked left and right down the street. It was a very gritty and blunt place now, but that was mainly because everyone had headed east. "Did you hear that beep?" Martin asked Nick, turning round to him.

"Yeah, I kinda do.... Maybe it's a morse code?" he responded and walked beside Martin. "I don't know if we're gonna make out of this hell-hole alive." he neutralized his expression and shook his head.

"Oi. That's not really something you should be thinking about at this time." Martin said to Nick, then looked back round to the radio. This time, the static sound slowly started to change to a more dark and eerie noise. He had no idea what was going on, but naturally he walked up to the radio, picked it up in both his hands and checked to see if there were any faults. "The hell...?" He mumbled to himself. He tweaked with the frequency a bit, but the same noise was still there. "Damn... not a thing." Martin growled, forcefully placing it back down on the bar table. The noise slowly drowned out, until it was completely quiet. "..."

"Hey, did I hear that thing when I was comin' in from here?" he asked. "Sounds awfully familiar. But what the hell am I talkin' about?"

"I dunno... but I think we should be leaving." Martin said, reaching into his pocket to pull out a ten euro note, then placed it down on the bar table. The barman gave Martin a look, then swiped the note and quickly went to the register and starting taking out a couple of coins. "Keep the change." Martin said, not exactly knowing whether the barman would understand it. "Okay..." He replied, and Martin felt a little thankful that someone knew some English. He folded up the collar on his coat, then walked out of the door.

(Accepted. Come in when you like.)
Martin looked round to Nick, wiping a bit of ash off of his coat. "You comin'...?" He asked.
