Will Smith. In West Philadelphia, born and raised, on the playground was where he spent most of his days. Nowadays he's a famous actor. Getting his big break with The Fresh Prince of Bel-Air, he gave himself the goal of becoming "the biggest movie star in the world." He also raps.
CHACARTER B:
Will Smith. A British comedian, actor, and writer. Does regular stand-up, and is most well-known for liking other things that are more well known than him.
CACACERTR C:
Will Smith. American Football player for the New Orleans Saints. He's the Defensive End on the team, whatever the hell that means. He beat his wife last year, so that's fun.
Setting, from Chwoka:
Show Content
SpoilerA dystopian nudist colony. The rest of the world is perfectly fine, but this one colony on the shoreline of America operates as if it's its own country. The American and international police agencies can't seem to touch them. There's a rebellion in the underworld of the colony, but it's actually a sham run by the state. The actual rebellion escaped 6 months or so ago, but nobody knows that.
Organ donation is compulsory. Money does not exist, you only have state-sponsored credits acquired at a piddling rate through forced labor. You get one hundred credits for turning in somebody else for crimes, however.
Crimes have only one punishment: everybody stops what they're doing and are brought to town square to cheer as you are embarrassed, tortured, and then executed. Crimes include wearing clothing, planning a rebellion, talking outside of designated talking hours, cutting perfectly circular holes in things, showing state-unsponsored arousal or romantic interest, high-fives, being not human and alive at the same time, modifying your state-issued refrigerator, showing state-unsponsored embarrassment or modesty, committing a crime or being accused of committing a crime, implying there might be an outside world, etc. The list of crimes goes on to infinity.
The primary method of getting new blood in the colony is kidnapping from the rest of the world or in-colony procreation.
Plot, from Schazer:
Show Content
SpoilerA works in a high-security company. B is unemployed, possibly a sociopath, and acquires A's identification and uses it to infiltrate the headquarters of A thanks to either A+B's similar appearance, or B being a master of disguise.
While there, he discovers a terrible secret involving C, A's boss and the guy A's significant other is cheating on A with. It turns out the thing A has been working overtime on (on C's orders) is the last piece to fall into place on C's plan to take over the company and eventually the world! B and C have a tense stand-off, but C mistakenly assumes B knows nothing about A's project and lets him walk away with a bribe on the condition he never speak of this.
B gets off scot-free - albeit knowing C's plans - but is wracked with guilt and spends some time after the incident obsessively stalking A to see what became of them. A is fired, loses their significant other, and is close to leaving town on C's orders, when B explains everything. The two use their knowledge of C's nefarious plan to exact justice, and maybe save the world or something I'unno.
