DDOlympics: Storytelling: PRELIMS 1

It is apparently a fine World after all.It was on a clear Wednesday that Batman was sitting on a bench near the Jefferson Memorial. Batman has a suitcase, along with a buddy sitting across the room. "Where is everyone?" Batman thought to himself. Batman looks at his watch. It said 5:30 PM. The game was going to start now. Everyone was going to be here right now, but as Batman glances to the side, he sees FDR. “Batman, it is a pleasure to meet you in person, as you can guess, I am FDR.". Batman returns the formalities. "It is quite a pleasure, now, FDR, as we are waiting still, please sit." FDR remains seated in his wheelchair, and pulls out a flask of brandy. The rest players begin to arrive. First Hitler arrives. Then Winston Churchill walks in. and finally Stalin arrives. He is seen arguing with Churchill. Batman begins to talk. “Now I hope you remember what you are here for. We are here for the best d amn game of Hide and Seek this world will ever know.” The players lightly clap. “Now, I will explain the rules again. You may hide in the city of Washington D.C. There are no limits to where you hide; given your hiding space is in the city limit. H ell, you can even hide in the White House. You should also bear in mind that the game lasts for 6 days. You will find that you need a food source. You may go anywhere for this. I will give you $400 dollars for this purpose. The game ends at 5:30 PM Tuesday. Understand? In addition, there are more rules. You may not have any of your personal belongings. They will be given back to you after the game is over. Also, when I begin counting to 100, the game starts. ” As Batman spoke the last sentences he had taken the player’s contraband. FDR had nothing, besides his wheelchair. Both Churchill and Stalin had cigars; but Stalin must have liked his smokes with vodka, because he was drinking it as Batman spoke. Hitler had his mustache ripped off. As Batman finished his collection, whether he noticed or not, a crowd was forming. Faint whispers could be heard. “What’s happening?” “This seems exciting enough to me.” Things were going to get exciting for the Washington D.C when Batman began to count. And then Batman began to count. “One,” And the game was on. Day One Hitler randomly chose a location to begin running, and soon reaches the main streets of D.C. Hitler didn’t know what to do. He was pretty much in enemy lands. Further more, Hitler knew that if he is to win and be glory to Nazi Germany, he better have a plan. Hitler thought of a plan, and ran in a darken alley. ******************* Meanwhile, Churchill ran to the most crowded place he could find easily. As if the streets are this packed he thought. Churchill jumped over a car and into an alley. Churchill had to make some ground before h can rest, and after he made some turns, Churchill slammed into something, and that thing, was Adolf Hitler. “FVCK! It’s you.” “Hey, easy. I come in peace, mate.” “…Mind if you provide evidence?” “Yeah man. Hey, we can both win if we join up and work together.” Churchill was at a lost. He wanted to win, and he was willing to work with the most dubious of characters. Churchill reached out and shaken Hitler’s hand. “Alright then. I’ll stick around for a short while.” It just like that, Hitler steps to the side to reveal a sewer. Hitler began to talk how he found the sewer and how he plans on using the sewer to one part of the city to another, although, Hitler had other plans. Hitler motioned Churchill to follow him and he led the duo down the sewer drain. Churchill began to felt uneasy being in a weaken spot, and protested to Hitler. “What do you plan on going? Batman is sure to find us if we don’t bunker down.” “Not really. I have a plan and a place where we would hide for a bit. Not really a concern for me.” “Wait, where are you even going?” Hitler laughed, but began to choke on the fumes of sh!t in the sewer. Churchill propped open the sewer lid to let fresh air in. “I don’t think we should be here.” “I agree.” Hitler and Churchill talked their next move. “Well, I don’t we just hide in a backstreet?” “I don’t know. The Media is bound to find us, and when they do, so will Batman.” “What should we do then?” “Kill Minorities?” Churchill was going to return with a zinger, when he heard; “Oh my God! Is that Batman?” Batman has arrived. “Sh!t Hitler what do we do know?” “Follow me.” Hitler and Churchill ran through back alleys. Batman was only nearby. And some citizens were bashfully pointing in the player’s direction. Hitler opened another entrance to the sewer and dropped in. Churchill had no choice. He went in. As Hitler planned and Churchill gambled, the other players would begin to truly play into their personalities. ****** Across the city, FDR is on a subway to the inner-city. FDR silently reads the Newspaper. “GUN SHOOTING IN HAWAII” “WELFARE FRAUD STER CAUGHT IN NEW YORK” “DOGECOIN EXPANDING” FDR exchanges looks with other passengers, and by the looks of it, they knew him, and FDR had to move when he had his stop. FDR knew what he had to do. He had to pay his respects at the Holocaust Museum. FDR looks out the window, and wonders about his fate. FDR is thinking of the other players and trying to think of where they might be. FDR waited for the train to slow down, and at that moment, he jumped off the train. ************ Batman has long since given up on Hitler and Churchill and now is after a new prey. ****** Stalin was sliding through the crowds of D.C and is now on the streets of Pennsylvania Avenue. Stalin was getting the attention he didn’t want, nor did he need. He had to be urgent. Stalin jumped the nearest fence and made his way into a door. After stealthy making his way into the centre of the building, the most grand of options appeared. He was in the Oval Office. And who else was in the room? The American President, that’s who. Stalin takes the chance and kidnaps the President, and takes a gun off from the desk. Stalin forces the President to show the way to Marine One. And a short walk there, Stalin is boarding the Helicopter. Stalin thought he heard jolly laughter from the pilot, who patted him on the back and said, “Ha ah. Oh if all Americans had your balls, the world would be a better place.” Stalin agreed. “What can I say? Living in a arctic wasteland does that to you.” The voice responds. “But sadly, you’re out.” That voice was Batman.
