Vista Buena's premier television station, Vision360, is celebrating 30 years of excellent scripted drama production with a groundbreaking television series that chronicles the nation's past 30 years, as well as the trials and tribulations of a family in the midst of it.

The drama will have 10 main characters, spread across 2 families, and they will be feuding for the entire series.

The only problem is, we can't think of a script, and this is where you kick in. We need all of you to write a part of the script to the TV, like a running story.

We need your help, and please help out!

Rules
1. No Racial Supremacism.
2. New characters may be introduced, but no more than 20 at a time
3. At least 2 members from each families must survive
4. The year in our timeline starts at Year 1, and ends at Year 31.

Good luck!

Scene opens on an old couple at a bus stop. The bus arrives and a young couple gets off. The wife is pregnant. The old couple boards, and the bus drives away. Seconds later the young wife goes into labor.
Then cut to opening sequence.

Do you have any ideas for the opening sequence?

NEVER MIND SAVE THIS FOR LATER
Everyone scrambles, the bus driver floors it to make it a hospital somewhere. A young woman takes the stand to help with the baby.

That will be left out. We acknowledge its existence, but we are focusing on the drama itself. Just mention the opening sequence, and we will understand.

If it's an opening sequance you need, you need to focus on the heart of the series. You need a good musical intro either a overture or a song. Do a montage maybe in a curtain call style.

Are you doing this purely RPish like purely In-Universe or will you have some focus on the actual production of this TV show?

purely RP-ish for now. Focus on the drama itself. No behind the scenes, no nothing. The storyline is all that matters.
