Okay, this is probably an obvious question, but I just wanted to be sure.
So the company cloned the characters and then sent them loose in our world to come and find us?
They deliver us an envelope with some information on winning and requirements to present ourselves at the Convention?
And what with the whole 'mulitverse' thing. Are the other worlds physically other planets? Or are we saying like alternate realities?

Yes, the company cloned the characters, and gave them an envelope to deliver. However, they deliver them more or less to your door, although the actual company employees stay in their van. The envelope contains a two-page letter informing you of your win, and several rules, including being at the convention, and not speaking to the press before then. It also holds the passes, the hotel reservations, a Visa gift card to cover your food/travel ($500), and the other prizes (a $150 gift card and a the discount code for the year's subscription).
As for the multiverse thing, I mean alternate realities.

Okay, next round of annoying questions.
(I'm so sorry for pestering you by the way. But, if you couldn't tell from my character history, I'm totally a**l retentive)
So are we to leave immediately/near immediately with our characters, like go out, get in the van and head for the convention?
Or do we have a few days/weeks? And if so, are the characters staying with us or getting back in the van and staying at the convention compound?

I imagine that they arrive with it and you leave that night or the next day to get there, depending on how far you are. They don't want you having too much time with them before they can speak to you, from what I gather.
EDIT: I decided to go for it and post.
I went with a slightly sad direction, because I think it will be interesting to see how each character reacts to being taken out of their world, as well as their creators will react to seeing them for the first time.
EDIT EDIT: And if you need me to change anything with the post I'll be more than happy to.

I got a question as well. Where is this convention taking place? From the looks of it, we're from all over the country... So where do we all have to fly to?
EDIT: i just assumed it was in Burbank, since that's where you said the company is. I'll fix it if it's not. But I went ahead and posted. MAN! I couldn't stop writing, so my post is hella long. DX And I wanted to write more, too. I kinda feel like I missed important parts... But I guess I'll just have to cover them in my next post.
Y'know, I just realized how hard it is to rp two completely different people from two different backgrounds and stories in the same setting. =/ Anyone else notice that or having difficulty with that as well?

Okay, just posted and I have to apologize.
It is hella long and really pretty boring I think.
Just getting in the groove of switching back and forth with these two.
Trying to keep the realistic mind set in a fantastic setting.
So, like I said, I'm sorry.
It will get better.

Hello, OOC~
I also read the post. It was amazing in how realistic it was, actually. --But I'd also posted mine, and I almost feel ashamed about how it turned out in comparison. I'm sorry that I went ahead as I did. I'm not very used to writing out normal characters in a reality setting, but the idea for the RP just drew me in that I couldn't resist. Very sorry if it turned out weird. OTL
Although, I'm really looking forward to seeing the interaction between the winners and their creations in the future. The diversity in backgrounds should prove to be really interesting! Haha.

I have to admit, next to all of you, I feel really really bad at writing. But I'm not too awesome at the tiny details and big words - mine tends to be really concise, and I'm better at action sequences than anything.
I went ahead and asked the obvious question. Jacobia is like me - he's straight to the point.

Let me start by saying [and this extends to most who've joined in the last 2-3 weeks]... I so freakin' glad I invited you people XD I've never played with so many of this skill level; I was beginning to believe you didn't exsist...
Kisser, don't appologize about that post; It's not often that I get to read a whole chapter of a story in an RP like that. I'm impressed, damned impressed. Bravo.
And as far as interaction goes, the unassuming blonde schmuck standing with a kid that could be his brother?... I'm sure they seem like ordinary conventioneers at the moment; nothing out of the ordinary about Rivell >;] Anywho, I spent most of the night editing my post form for 8-Bit, so I'll be posting here in Fourth Wall tomorrow. Stay breezy!

Aw!
::blushes::
Thank you so much everyone.
I just felt like I was rambling at times.
I'm so glad that you all liked it!
I'm really enjoying all of the different personalities that we have here and anxious to see them all start mixing and interacting.

I... sort of had to redo my post, after changing the character design I wrote for Deleter. I'll be putting it up in a while. Oh, before that, I had to rewrite the profile I submitted last night. I was rereading it earlier, and I felt like I forced it too much. And so I ended up trying to mend them, somehow. I hope that doesn't cause too many problems. I am deeply sorry for the trouble.
