Beau Peep - The Soap Opera.
« on: July 27, 2007, 11:55:21 PM »
Totally ad-lib. Each one of us has to assume a character. Once that's sorted and agreed, and we set the location (the fort?), we commence a thread. Beau Peep - The Soap Opera....


I want to be the Colonel.

You can be there to drum up some biscuits when we need them.

Can I be the guy who has played golf for 51 years and finally gets the best hole-in-one never seen by man?

Well done! It's taken you five days to finally mention this!

I take it this is an autobiographical role, Fydo? Poor s*d! I sympathise - I've had dozens of them.
I apologise, in advance.

I think it would be better if we were all who we are on this board (Mince, Peepmaster, Tarks, etc) but inhabited the Beau Peep world and met the Beau Peep characters. This also allows everyone to drag everyone else into the story without having to wait for them to choose their persona.

Be a colonel impostor. I am going to have more fun insulting "Peepmaster" than insulting a cartoon "colonel".

Yeah, but who's going to play the Beau Peep characters?

Everyone. Each person writes part of the story and just makes every character do what they want. Besides, it will be fun getting Roger in trouble with Mad Pierre.

I still don't really follow - perhaps you, start it off, should.

Maybe it could be set in a pub, like the Queen Vic, or Rovers Return...

Well, you will have to decide on the location first. Here is a quick example:



Somewhere in the desert, Peepmaster and Tarks were trudging slowly to the horizon.

"Are you sure this is the right way?" Peepmaster asked.

"Of course," Tarks said. "It should be just over the horizon."

"What a strange place for Tesco to be!" Peepmaster said to no one in particular.

"Tesco?" Tarks stopped suddenly. "Oh, I thought you said, 'Let's join the foreign legion.'" He smiled, marvelling at his use of single and double quotes.
