DECEITFUL WORLD

Chapter 1: The Program

Kunot-noo kong pinagmasdan ang tatlong letrang naka-display sa white screen. Anong klaseng programa 'yan?

"Ano naman ang ibig sabihin ng RPW Sir?" nakangiting tanong ni Stacey. Kung titingnan ay para siyang maamong tupa pero nakatago sa maganda nitong mukha ang mapanlinlang na ugali ng isang lobo.

"Good question Ms. Sandoval. RPW is a community and soon be your new world which is called ROLE PLAYERS WORLD. This is a world where we can role play our chosen muse."

"Role play na naman Sir? Hindi ba kakatapos lang natin mag role play last week?" pag-mamaktol ni Jasbert, ang isa sa pinaka-bongong estudyante sa school.

"Tangeks. Hindi mo ba naintindihan sinabi ni Sir? Chosen muse daw, ibig sabihin si Marika lang ang mag ro-role play. Muse ka ba? Hindi ba at wala ka naman sa Class Org?" mabilis na tugon ni Lindon.

"You idiots! The word muse that Mr. Zenford said a while ago means you are going to portray someone, or act on behalf of your idols. He is not referring to Marika." Aldwin said.

Sa totoo lang, hindi din maikaka-ila ang talinong taglay ni Aldwin, 'yon nga lang may angkin talagang kayabangan.

"So anong maitutulong naman ng RPW na 'yan sa grades namin Sir?" tanong ni Spencer habang nakasapo ang dalawang kamay sa kaniyang batok. Feeling nasa bahay lang.

"Wow naman Brad. Kelan ka pa nag bagong buhay? Concern kana sa grades mo?" natatawang tanong ni Leeson na binalibag pa ng lukot na papel ang kaibigan.

"Ngayon ko lang naisip. Haha" masayang tugon ni Spencer na kinatawa ng buong klase maliban sa 'kin.

"Sa totoo lang malaki ang maitutulong nito sa inyong lahat. This program can provide a real-world scenarios to help students learn. It can also enhance your skills that you can used in real-world situations like negotiation, debate, teamwork, cooperation, persuasion and most importantly it provide opportunities for critical observation of peers" confident na sagot ni Prof.

"I will be playing the whole information of the program. Just watch it so that you don't have to ask me one by one." dugtong pa nito. Natahimik naman ang lahat ng biglang mag play ang video sa white screen.

St. Augustine State University proudly presents:

RPW (Role Play World)

What does a Role Play World mean? It simply means a place where Roleplayers unite. Roleplayers are people who portray their idols in their 'roleplay accounts'. SASU Board of Directors already saw the possible outcome of this program wherein some of the students will often misunderstand the purpose of roleplaying and they will see it as a fake world. But actually, there's just this thin difference between both roleplayers and fakers. Fakers tell people that they are the real idols, while Roleplayers state clearly in their profile that they are just roleplaying their idols and they are not the real ones; as simple as that.

For all the students to enjoy the program, they need to understand some of the content of the website.

Here are some terms in Roleplay that may help you out in doing your Roleplaying.

RP - Roleplay

RP'er - would be a roleplayer. These are the students of SASU who will join the community.

Port - A picture of the character you are portraying.

DM - Dungeon Master, also known as GM or Game Master, refers to the person running the roleplay, and that is the SASU Board of Directors
