There is no script, no plot arc.  What is being created is a background for us to play in.  Each of us creates our own plot arcs and story lines....as we do every day living our lives.  That is why we can't necessarily nail down which forum section this belongs in....because it can span any and all of them just as there are a myriad different people.  The town is a back drop.  What you do with your character is your business.<br/><br/><br/>If you're interested in playing....just make up a character and let's go!
