In-game facts to know

Your object should be unusual in at least some way. See jes’ initial item, a Hairbrush – “an object that is highlighted by its banality (a quality not shared by anything else in the collection).”

Feel free to set out little constraints like this, I will probably note them here for everyone’s benefit periodically. But don’t get crazy: asserting very limiting things or being crazily obscure about it will not make you friends.

The Rules

Mon Sep 26 21:44:00 -0500 2005

Read this before creating a new page.

In The Display Case are many small objects. Each page in this project must name and describe one of them. Obviously, you are free to get into the object’s history, how and why it came into Corin’s possession and such, but don’t stray too far from the subject of the object (ahem). We want to find out who (and where) Corin is slowly, and together, so don’t rush ahead. Stay with the small thing in your hand. (huh huh, huh huh)

Also, you’re free to give us things that don’t exist in the real world, but let’s keep it to things that could exist… at least for now, ’k?

Let’s have fun with the mystery of this. I worry that this is redolent of every other ARG on the planet, with its being all MISSING GIRL OMG, so let’s not overplay the damsel-in-distress thing. Maybe she saved herself, maybe she is these objects, maybe she’s God or the devil or Elvis. Let’s keep it wide open until we have less of a choice.

Thanks for contributing!
