girl on the run

THE VICTOR, ALUMNUS ✦ M ✦ 28.

ACE OF DIAMONDS, YOU WERE NEVER MEANT TO HUNGER. The ravenous child of the ordinary, a mediocrity that clawed its way from unremarkable soil with fingernails bloody and ambition sharp as winter wind. There was no gilded inheritance waiting in the wings, no dynasty to claim. Only the endless, gnawing need to prove that you were destined for more. Two autumns past, you tasted the golden honey of victory in SECRET SOCIETY'S TRIAL OF HEARTS and found it ash on your tongue. Because victory, you discovered, is not a destination but an addiction sweet as laudanum and hollow as church bells ringing over empty pews. They whisper that you have everything, but you feel like a hollow victor counting empty trophies in an empty room. What you have is not enough. What you deserve is more. Now you circle this year's trial like a moth drawn to flame. This year, despite not being a player, you will find a way to cast yourself once more in its leading role, even if it demands becoming the villain of someone else's triumph.

Safe travels, sir. Thank you for everything.

“He just wants to have a nice life and be a regular dude. He doesn't really have any higher aspirations particularly. He was fine with being tortured every day if he could just go home to Nasha.” - Robert Pattinson

Mickey 17 (2025) dir. Bong Joon-ho

In this world, where beauty and power exist side by side, nothing is permanent except the hunger for the next high—be it sensual, emotional, or political. It’s where loyalty is as fleeting as the bubbles clung to the walls of a chamgagne flute, and betrayal is the currency that keeps the machine running. Welcome to THE EXCHANGE: home to those who have too much to lose and not enough to fear.

"Listen as though I'm the voice of God or an angel talking to you. Telling you this room doesn't matter, this night doesn't matter. You're not inconsequential or a junkie. You're a bright young reporter with a point of view. There are stories that need to be told. If things ever get bad again, these are the words you'll hear in your mind like a tape playing over and over, like a song stuck in your brain. These words will hold you up and carry you. "They are your lifeline." That's a free-baser I befriended for a few days at the drսg den. He told me to get my shit together and then he Richard Pryor'd in front of me. Everyone scrambled but I stuck around, watched him burn. What's always confused me was that... You know, he said those words to me, and he was already all burnt up. Figured I'd conflated the two events. But I didn't. Because it was you. I destroyed two marriages. I fuckеd up two daughters. But I stayed a journalist. I... I was never so lost I couldn't hold down a job.

In the 25th century, Earth is a distant memory, a lost relic of the past. Humanity has mastered the art of space exploration, weaving through galaxies with the grace of seasoned travelers. Among these cosmic voyagers is the ship Apeiron, a vessel carrying the last precious plant specimens from Earth, a fragile hope for cultivating new life on untamed worlds. When an urgent distress signal echoes through the void, a special force is assembled, driven by a mission of profound importance: to retrieve Apeiron and its invaluable cargo, a beacon of life for a new homeland. Yet, beneath the surface of duty lies an amalgamation of personal stakes and hidden motives. Each member of the rescue crew is drawn by more than the promise of salvation. They seek answers, redemption, and the unraveling of mysteries shrouded in the silence of the drifting spaceship. In the vast expanse of space, where stars whisper secrets and shadows hold the past, their journey intertwines destiny with the echoes of lost worlds. EXODUS is a 21+ literate sci fi roleplay inspired by the three body problem, interstellar, 1899 and love death and robots. Join a small crew of 13 people aboard the Exodus to uncover the mysteries left behind on the Apeiron. This game will include interactive mechanics and be played on discord.
