(We need more women)

Name: Niamh Cain
Age: 29
Height: 6'
Weight: 140 lbs
Face: Very attractive, with high cheek-bones and full, pouting lips
Hair: Long, auburn
Build: Slender
Clothes: A form-fitting, casual black dress
Items: Purse (with the usual stuff inside)
Personality: Flirtatious, yet sarcastic and cynical. Has little regard for anything.
History: Studied psychology in Harvard, and got a master's in forensic psychology. Worked as a forensic psychologist for Boston PD for 4 years. On her fourth year it was discovered that she had a habit of mistreating the felons she was supposed to be evaluating -- taunting and bullying her subjects for little more than her own enjoyment. She was promptly fired. Rather than spiral into a depression, she decided she preferred the legal aspect of the job anyway, and has begun pursuing a career in criminal law, specialising in criminal prosecution. She's also an avid reader and writer of crime fiction, and has recently made a deal with Peacock Publishing for the publication of her novel.

(Would you believe that I came up with that description before finding that picture?)

Bud Spencer doesn't look worried but bored instead. He figures that his weight is most likely the reason why the elevator stopped.
"I guess I shouldn't have eaten that pretzel after those 3 plates of spaghetti at lunch," he jokes, but doesn't smile. His voice sounds dubbed.

Oliwerko · Mon 28/04/2008 12:08:47

Rich tries to forget about his own terrible hunger when Bud makes this comment.
He wonders how many people laugh without smiling...

JetXL, that crapped me up

Lionmonkey · Mon 28/04/2008 13:23:31

"The people around looked worried, althought they didn't notice me, sticking to the ceiling. The Big Man said "Pretzel". Then "Spaghetti". I started eating my fingernals, but they were unable to quench the raising hunger. I desired food."

Dualnames · Mon 28/04/2008 15:26:34

Well, I started to look an entry at the Guide for Spaghetti that said:

Spaghetti: A typical dish at Earth and a very famous specialite at the Restaurant at the End of the Universe. It consists of some long wire-looking material, yellow-like coloured, and crunchy if not boiled or slimy if do boiled. If hungry it's quite cheap and can take the burden of hunger for a while of yourself. Can be found: Around every where on Earth. Specifically: New York, Chicago, Athens, Paris, Bejing, Rubbish bins, Toilets, and always at 99% on a dish. Can get some sauces on it for extra flavour or for some flavour if spaghetti chef is a complete inept.

I sit in my pot staring at my not-so-happy-at-a-moment owner. I know my owner will do something because, frankly speaking, the range of things I can do isn't that broad.

Well, I did nothing.

Every single one of these need some revising. Expand on history, tie in personality, and give them a good reason for being here. Not for me, for you!

Lionmonkey · Thu 01/05/2008 09:18:02

After some continious nail eating, I felt a strange feeling in my head. I remembered something. Something, that happened before I got into the White Building. A gray box. That's all. Just a gray box. I need to find it. It may contain answers! But how do I get out of this little room? It's enclosed. I've got no idea, how I got here. Just like anyhing that happens after a white flash. But I've gotta get out of here! There is only one way. I must quench my lust for meat!

Oliwerko · Thu 01/05/2008 09:23:51

The fat man looked strange to me from the first moment. He was the kind of man that pursues one desire and can do just anything to reach his goal. Maybe if he continues, he can get us out ?

Anyway, it looked strange to me that people were so quiet and did not talk in such a depressing situation like this. It was already 15 minutes since we stuck and nothing happened so far...
