An exercise in creativity.

[Roger Smith]

This is something that I have both seen done and been the one to do on other sites in the past in one form or another, and I thought I might bring it back here. At its most basic, it will be simply telling a story, but not with what you might call a "linear" path of progression and plot. I will be providing the writing, but you all will be the one providing ideas, or, if you are at all familiar with the wizardry and insanity that Andrew Hussie has produced through MSPA's early ventures, "commands". I will then respond to them with (hopefully) amusing tidbits to progress things toward whatever end the commands leading up to that point has put our intrepid adventurer on the path to.

The commands will primarily operate on a first-come, first-serve basis, with a few days for everyone to provide input. I may very well use every command people offer, or combine multiple ones into one command if they are relevant or similar. I only ask that you do not make them overly complex. A good sentence or idea will suffice for a single command!

With that said, it is time to start off simply and just to gauge interest!

You stand alone at an empty crossroads. Behind you, and to either side, the dusty trail stretches on as far as your eyes can see, winding into the horizon. How you got here, you cannot recall. Where here is, you also cannot recall. You begin to worry about your lack of remembering these details when you suddenly come upon a much more pertinent question that your scrambled thoughts manage to make you aware of. You have no idea who you are.

What is your name?
