Sample Roleplay Post: Andrew was no stranger to long corridors that seemed to go nowhere. His career with the UK Government had forced him to learn the nooks and crannies of Parliament and the corridors of the URCS base were no different to his mind. He was certain he would have a mental map of the place in a couple of days. Andrew knew from the welcome pack left in his room was that his office was on Ground Level. Makes sense, he thought to himself as he moved took the stairs up the two floors to his new workspace Have the faces of the company literally the first thing you see.

Every door in this facility seemed to be automated and as he reached to open the door to the ground level it opened moments before him. It reminded him of seeing little kids pretend to have telekinetic powers as they approached automatic doors. He stopped just outside the door and looked right and left down the corridor which was a slight improvement of the corridor he had previously been in. Artwork adorned the walls, clearly in an attempt to soften the image of the organisation, but it was clear the person they hired to decorate had no sense of style nor did they understand the types of people the Global Management would be receiving. Andrew made a mental note to fire that person if they were still employed.

As he walked down the corridor he felt his right hand trailing along the wall beside him. The wall was cool to the touch and he suddenly thought of the power required for the facility. Something kept under a mountain was quite the mean feat. It didn’t take him long to find his new office, his name stamped on the door and, of course, was required to show his pass card to even gain entry. His hands brushed against his grey Armani suit’s pockets until he felt the plastic dig in against his thigh, he reached in and felt the sharp edges against his fingertips when he heard the door behind him open.

The door to his office swung open as he turned around, his ID card held aloft between his fingers. Andrew had not expected to meet anyone he knew here, most the people he knew were still tied to desks in the Civil Service, but this one face he’d seen before and all for reasons that would be best kept confidential for the client it concerned.

“Fi?” he said. “What on Earth are you doing here?”
