During one fateful night, one GirlWarriorX gains hold of a really freaking cool piece of immersive technology, and sends bits of it to 9 other Wattpad users. They get to GO INSIDE THE MACHINE and use it kind of like an almost unlimited version of the OASIS from Ready Player One, but it doesn't need a headset. If you sign up for this Rp, you can appear however you like, but DO NOT USE YOUR REAL NAME!!! You will be known inside of the game as your Wattpad (@Example) username.
No one realizes, however, that the machine has a mind of it's own............
And it's part of a very particular fandom.
(MINOR GORE, BUT IT'S DONE IN A WAY THAT'S OBVIOUSLY FAKE; BUT STILL)
(ESCAPE THE NIGHT DOES NOT BELONG TO ME, I WISH IT DID CAUSE I COULD DO SOME REALLY COOL STUFF WITH IT, BUT NO, IT HAD TO BELONG TO YOUTUBE AND ONE JOEY GRACEFFA *is that how you spell his name?*)
