Captain Sapphire, beloved children’s entertainer of yesteryear, stumbles up the steps to his apartment. He’s still sore from his painful experience at the Starmaker’s: Re-living the glory days, offered the chance to be an inspiration again, to be a hero, and then having it taken away. He lets himself into his little brown rooms, dingy and damp, and throws himself onto a collapsed couch. Silent tears dribble down his face as he swings from a bottle of lemonade. About twenty minutes pass by before he heaves himself to his feet and totters over to the corner of the room, where he throws open a cupboard. He pulls out some dusty cardboard boxes and pokes about in them until he finds a video tape in a white cardboard sleeve, yellowed from age. He pulls a tape machine out of the cupboard and, with some difficulty, hooks it up to his little boxy telly. He pushes the button on the machine, and the tape whirs up. His own face, over a decade younger, fills the screen.

Captain Sapphire glares across the landscape. Gravely he announces,

"When people work together in the name of good they can do wonderful things, but when people collude in evil it may seem there is no limit to the evil they can do. These three villains-

He stops the tape and presses a different button. The machine makes a scribbly squeaky noise as the cassette rewinds.

Inky blackness, logos from the film and production companies fade in and out, then a shift and a multitude of distant stars slide into view. A moment of stillness, then a small blue comet edges in from the right and traces its way across the screen, leaving a gleaming, spreading tail of bright blue. Tinkly bells gently play a familiar tune - you recognise suddenly the theme tune from the old Captain Sapphire show. From left and right the words CAPTAIN SAPPHIRE slide in and join just as the comet meets the centre of the screen. With a dazzling flash of light they merge into the hexagonal CS emblem. With a great orchestral crash a spray of glittering blues launches across the screen, bearing with them 'THE MOVIE' in bold, lurid letters. The music is valiant and grandiose as the title holds the screen.

As the titles fade away, the raucous brass is swept away by eerie flutes, the comet slips out of view as the camera shifts again, coming to focus on a close blue-green planet. Slowly the planet grows in size as the camera moves closer, until it covers the screen, and, picking up speed, the image zooms,until we can make distinguish features of the landscape, then a city. We rocket towards the city, the camera shaking alarmingly, honing in on an enormous gleaming black tower, flanked by glittering marble colossae. As the camera twists to the front of the building, backed by brilliant red sunrise over a highly advanced metropolis, the words "Contra Astraos - Headquarters of the Saviours of the World." type across the screen.

Rules

1. JoeSapphire Moderates this game. Contact him with game actions, queries, suggestion, praise, enthusiasm, corrections, et cetera.

2. The game is split into two phases - The Voting phase, and The Action phase. During The Voting Phase players may write on the page, and vote for other players. The aim of a vote is to achieve elimination of a single player. Once the majority of current players are voting for a single player, that player will be eliminated. Then the voting phase will end and the action phase will begin. During the action phase no players may write on this page. The action phase ends once the deadline has been reached, and the voting phase will begin again.

3. Votes should be phrased thusly: Vote Flubbucket. If you want to stop voting for a player, it should be phrased thusly: Unvote Flubbucket. Each player may vote for any other living player. A player may vote for only one player at a time. A vote may be withdrawn by unvoting. A player who is being voted for by the majority of living players will be immediately unmasked, their role will be made public knowledge, and the game will go to the action phase.A player may also vote no-unmasking. A majority vote of no-unmasking will end the voting phase without an unmasking.

4. When you are unmasked or killed, you are out of the game - stop posting.

5. Don't edit your posts for any reason. Learn to love typing errors and ambiguous grammar!

All players have received a role. Here is a sample role:

Hello TheGOGfather, you are Winnie Safiros, Frictionless Commuter, Team Heroes.

It's been a long time since you handed your identity over to the current Captain Sapphire and became the admiral of the Contra Astraos, but you still remember a thing or two. You are determined that the villains will not get control of your fleet.

Powers: In the action phase you can use your Super Sapphire Mist to become totally invisible making any other power targetting you fail. Your Super Sapphire Slink also prevents your abilities being re-targetted by pesky busdrivers, redirectors and reflectors. Useful! Like all players, you may also be subject to secret modifiers! These will alter your role without your knowledge, and will be revealed publicly with your role upon elimination.
