ooc: Somewhat new to this whole rp business so I hope this is of acceptable quality.
The following is a short look into the daily goings on in Metaddan through an entirely reliable source, the Media...
Metaddan National News!
A smiling, middle aged African Metaddan man in a grey suit stands in front of a massive tv screen that dominates the wall behind him. "I'm Ralf Kirtonson and today on Metaddan National News we look inside the day's events in the Kingdom of Metaddan. Recently journalists accompanied by a government observer approached citizens on the street and asked them their political affiliation. Here what the people had to say:"
"Political Affliliation? I don't really know man but I have got some mad munchies...You go any, like, doritos or something?" said a a rather red eyed youth in a hemp t-shirt.
"Huh? Say what now?" said an morbidly obese citizen dressed in a too tight beach-shirt.
"If by political affiliation you mean an eighteen year old girl then-"
"That’s all the time we have for Voice of the People on Metaddan National News" said Kirtonson. "Now its time for a word from our sponsors."
A man in shirt and tie is seated in a swivel chair in an obviously office setting. He is sweating profusely and his mouth is trembling. Suddenly a deep voice intones "Do you need to relax? Do the pressures of corporate life have you down? They probably do, so why don't you pick up a Relaxarrete! There chock full of all of the mellowing effects of other drugs but now in a fun, stylish, smokable form. Now try our new nostalgia BlueSmoke Relxarrete, only from Dysttech, baby”.
Back to Metaddan National News!
A group of men dressed in rags and holding makeshift weapons are rushing towards the camera. Brightly colored shards of broken glass and pigeon feathers are braided into their dreadlocks and animal skulls and empty beer bottles dangle from their belts like trophies. In front of them is a poodle is limping forward, a spear dangling from its side.Later Tonight: Are tribes of homeless hunting and eating your pets?
Ralf Kirtonson is back in front of the camera “Welcome back. Today two dozen people protested over in increase in lay-offs. Midway through the demonstration the entire group of protesters suddenly fell to the ground, apparently unconscious. When examined it was found that they had all died of unknown causes. Many people are pointing blame at the corporation they were protesting, Dysttech, while others say it was the government testing out a new form of nerve gas. The spokesman for Dysttech was unavailable for comment but Miranda Lazarus, aid to the King, simply stated “Lies! Lies and Slander!”.
ooc: So then, reactions to the short glimpse you have seen of Metaddan life?
