Roleplay sample for All along the watch tower
As if the exposure to light from cracks in his blinds and the hangover weren’t causing Eric enough trouble sleeping. Sirens had just come through the neighbourhood. Blaring their irritating cries of “Police on route to solve a crime” in the form of a mechanical wailing scream. Eric let a small smirk across his lips; it provided him with a slight amusement hearing the police. Although it flared up his hangover it reminded him how messed up his home town truly was, the idea of the police desperately fighting against gangs and the “Supervillains” brought him some twisted sense of amusement. “God what is this some kind of comic” he scoffed to himself upon realising he thought of supervillains. The amusement slowly faded; upon his flawed and drunken recollection of last night his friend had mentioned “You should become a hero”. Although his words were much more slurred than that, it held all the same meaning. “Me a hero? Again life isn’t some comic; I’m a freak, the result of an untested drug to counter my genetic disease”. He was still bitter over his parents’ choice to have him take the drug as an infant; it did save his life albeit at the cost of some of his humanity. But let us be perfectly honest, you would be too being called “Los diablos” on a daily basis. He let out a smirk before muttering in an amused manner “Besides someone with a moral compass fixated on himself would make a much better villain don’t you think?” He sat in silence expecting some kind of response from his empty apartment, but alas of course there was none.
