Judge Dredd - The Thread

[Yoc]

First there was the comic strip, then the film (which I think really didn’t do the character justice) and now, hopefully, there is the thread.

Like the strip and film, this thread should be played with tongue firmly in cheek.

It is the year 2123. Welcome to Mega-City One, a vast metropolis of 400 million citizens where crime spirals out of control, and only the Judges can prevent total anarchy.

Riding the streets on their futuristic bikes called Lawmasters, Judges are empowered to dispense instant justice, combining the roles of judge, jury and executioner into one.

Most feared and respected of them all is Judge Dredd – he is the law.

Some keywords.

Lawgiver: Judge’s firearm. Can shoot six different types of shells. General purpose, rubber ricochet, incendiary, armour piercing, grenade and high explosive. Additional note: If attempted to be used by an unauthorised person, it simply self-destructs, taking the person's hand with it.

Lawmaster: Judge’s computer controlled 4000cc bike. Apart from a big bike, has a cannon which is far more powerful than a modern day tank.

Grud: Mega-City term for God.

Drokk: A swear word.

Creep: A term a Judge use to describe a criminal or anyone he/she doesn’t like.

Perp: A term a Judge use to describe a criminal.

Lawbreaker: A term a Judge use to describe a criminal.

Futsie: Person suffering from future shock, who cannot take the pace of modern living. Can happen to anyone, anytime.

SJS: Special Judical Squad. Judges who judges the Judges.

Psi-Division: Consisting of Psi-Judges who have various types of psychic powers.

Chief Judge: Leader of the Judges and unofficial ruler of the city.

The Grand Hall of Justice: Main headquarters of the Judges.

Iso-Blocks: Prisons.

I’ll, of course, be playing Dredd. You have got a multitude of characters to choose from such as Chief Judge Barbara Hershey, Psi-Judge Cassandra Anderson, Judge Giant, Mean Machine Angel, Otto Sump, etc… or you can make a character up. It is completely up to you. (If you want any other official character, PM me and I can give you suggestions).

Note: The characters are based on the 2000 AD comic strip rather than the movie. However, if the film is the only point of reference, then by all means use it.

Special Note: I would like to apologise to creators John Wagner and Carlos Ezquerra in advance. However, I will point out I plan to keep Dredd in character which will mean that he will not be partaking in any sexual acts himself and if anyone tries to initiate any with him, will liable to be arrested or shot (or both). After all, as the man says: He is the law! However, all the other characters are fair game.

I will be posting in the next day or so.

If you want to get involved in a futuristic thread consisting of adventure, violence, sex and most specifically fun, then is the one.

Hope to see some response.

No interest at all?

OOC:

Hmm! That's disappointing , I would have thought that at least one player would have express some type of interest.

Oh well, I am going to start off the story anyway and then see if there's any interest then. If not, then this thread dies.

 

[Yoc]

*nudge*

 

[The GrandMage]

You haven't given up yet? You expecting someone to just pop up and express interest?

I guess it's your lucky day then. What about the criminals? Don't you need some criminals? I'm willing to be a small group of criminals, most of whom will die.

 

[THEBRAT]

OOC The only Judge Dredd that I know of is the Movie!! I am willing to play a goofy bad girl

 

[Seductive Bitch]

Ooc: I'd be willing to play a goofy good girl if you'll have me.

 

[Yoc]

Thanks!



Thanks you three for your response.

I'll be posting the start of the story line tomorrow.

 

[THEBRAT]

ooc Ok I will try to think up a name I just might use my Spanish middle name!

 

[Honey_B]

A female judge...

I'll be willing to play a female judge if you are willing to feed me copious amounts of information about the mythos of this thread. It has been so long since I've seen the movie and I am not familiar with the strip.

 

[Yoc]

No problem, Honey. I will be your source of knowledge. Just PM on what you want to know.

PS Thanks for joining.

Dredd

"If you gonna kill me, get it over with, creep!" curses Dredd.

"Getting impatient are you, old man!" gloats his captor. "Don't worry, I'm not in any rush. I've got methods that can keep you in exquisite pain, just on the agony of death for days, drugs that will make this agony seem like pure pleasure."

The gloating interrogator steps forward into the light, his wet, red tongue playing his thin lips. "Now, shall we continue? My employer wants to hear you scream!"

The smallest of gestures and thousands of volts are coursing through electrodes buried deep in Dredd's body, the smell of roasting flesh filling the air. But despite the pain, the agony, Dredd does not scream.

"Unbelievable!" comments his interrogator. "Most people would be screaming by now."

"W-well, I ain't like 'most people', creep! I am a Judge of Mega-city One!" Dredd snarls.

"Tut! Tut! Tut!" sighs his captor, "How many times do I have to repeat myself? You are being so rude."

Again, Dredd feels the electricity surging through his body. Again he does not scream.

A fact that is proving very annoying to the interrogator.

"Drokk you, Dredd!", he says, cutting the power. "I have been patient with you long enough. If you don't play nice and apologise to my employer, Mr Humes. Then I have will have to kill you very painfully!"

Thank you, creep! Now you are going down...

For to long have "The Judges" had all of The Power of Life and Death over us!

I think at it is about time that "The Judges" start to get some of "The Law" thrown at them for a change!

I may be a bit shy of a full deck in the Brain Department but I think that "Judge Dredd" is finally getting what is coming to him!

 

[Yoc]

Dredd

The interrogator watches in horror as Dredd easily unties his ropes.

"W-w-what!! You can't do that! I am busy interrogating you!" he splutters.

Throwing the ropes to the floor, Dredd advances to his once-torturer.

"For a paid interrogator, your skill of tying ropes is pretty lousey, creep!" says Dredd. "If I was Humes, I would ask for my money back."

Seeing that the game is up, the little man tries to make a break for it only to be caught and slammed against the wall by Dredd.

"Dredd to Control." he growls into his helmet-com as he cuffs his assailant. "I have Garzie's killer and also know who is in running this new crimewave: Mortimer Humes."

"ROJ, Dredd. You are to wait there and hand the prisoner to backup when they arrive. You are then to return the Grand Hall. The Chief Judge wants to see you."

"Negative, Control. I want to follow this one through. The Humes creep is starting to cause a lot of trouble." replies Dredd.

"Sorry, Dredd. The Chief Judge wants to see you ASAP." replies Control.

Drokk! curses Dredd. Still, he has no choice. If the Chief Judge wants to see him, he has to go.

Ignoring his prisoner, he waits for backup to arrive...

 

[The GrandMage]

At the lair of one Mr. Humes...

The aptly named Weaselly was sitting in front of the monitor, the cool light reflecting against his small spectacles in the darkened room. The man was small, hunched over, and his hands seemed permenently clenched around one another. His long nose, greasy hair, and the spectacles, always reflecting light from his eyes brought the image of a large rodent to mind whenever someone looked upon him.

He gave the high-pitched scoffing laugh he was know for, and got to his feet. He was dressed well, a dark suit, the off-white shirt had the top button undone, and the tie that had been given to him with the suit was tucked into his right hip pocket, half of it hanging out.

He scurried from the room, and into the brightened hallway. He gave a small hiss, and hunched over a little more, quickly moving down the hallway, and into the large chamber of his boss. Mr. Humes looked up, and raised an eyebrow to his most trusted worker. The rodent-like man licked his lips, and bowed. "He failed, sir. Lasted a full two minutes more than you expected though. The Judge was waiting for your name, and the fool gave it, as expected."

The small voice seemed the most rodentish thing about the man, and his boss merely waved a hand to dismiss the poor man. Weaselly bowed again, and scurried back the way he had come, back into the darkened computer room, turning his face back to the monitor, fingers gliding across keys as he watched the scene unfold.

Mortimer Humes

Humes sits back into his lounger and studies the open fire. (Well a holographic representation of one since the real thing was outlawed as a potential fire hazard back in 2099.)

Picking up his brandy glass, he swishes the contents before bring it to his lips. Inhaling its scent deeply first, he then takes a mouthful, savouring the taste before swallowing.

Everything has happened as he had expected!

Dredd is going to be a threat.

A fourth generation clone, he and his 'fathers' have invested too much time and effort to allow a leatherclad thug to ruin things now.

Placing the glass back on the expensive leatherclad table next to him, Humes gets up, adjusting his smoking jacket as he does so.

Walking over to his desk, he switches on the screen and instantly sees Weaselly's face staring back at him.

"Have Death Division despatch a Mark III Assassinator droid. I want Dredd dead. I also assume that you are already clearing up any loose ends from today's exercise." meaning Dredd's interrogator.

"Yes sir." says his lackey.

"And, Weaselly, do something about the tie." he adds, an afterthought.

"Ye..." Humes switches the monitor off before Weaselly finishes replying.

Going back to his chair, Humes instructs the computer to play some vintage Tom Jones...

 

[The GrandMage]

Weaselly

"Yes sir." He replied to the already dead screen. He turned to the right, and the monitor sprang to life, and he was staring at the Death Division's computer systems. In mere seconds, Mr. Humes' orders were out, and a Mark III Assassinator droid was on its way to complete its task.

Weaselly turned, looking to the origional monitor, where backup was just arriving for the Judge. His fingers flew, and the code was imputed. The 'interrogator' had messed up. Now he would pay.

An implant in the mans brain went off, sending an electrical surge through his brain cells, killing the ones in charge of memory. The scream of pain heard over the speaker system brought a smile to the rodent-like lackeys face.

He turned on the only light in the room, looking at the small picture, the only decoration in the room. "Yes sir, just as you ordered." The man removed the glasses, not a real necessity in today's world. His eyes shifted around, as if every motion in his peripheral vision needed his undivided attention. He slipped the glasses back on, and leaned back in his chair, changing the view of the monitor to one opposite the area Judge Dredd was in, waiting.

Dredd

Judge Hardsteen is waiting for him as he pulls up in the Grand Hall of Justice's bike pool.

On spotting him, Hardsteen shuffles up.

"There you are, Dredd." he says.

He's too damn nervous to be a Judge!

"Can't stop now, Hardsteen, the Chief Judge wants me." replies Dredd, walking past him.

"But..but.." Hardsteen stammers as Dredd walks away and steps into a elevator.

Once the doors slide shut, Hardsteen turns round, hand by his mouth.

"Dredd's here to with meet the Chief Judge." he says.

Then looking around to see if anyone saw him, Hardsteen carries on with his business...

 

[The GrandMage]

Weaselly

He started as the speaker came to life. It was a message for Mr. Humes. Weaselly started to hack through the city's systems, but sat back in disgust after a few minutes.

He leaned back, and looked over at the picture. It was he and Mr. Humes. He moved back to the monitor, and in a few minutes had the audio for what was going on around Judge Dredd.

He pulled out the tie, and hurriedly put it on before contacting Mr. Humes. "Boss, I've got the audio for Dredd, you want me to patch it through? The Assassinator droid won't be able to get to the Judge 'till he leaves the Grand Hall of Justice."

Mr. Humes signaled he did want to listen in, and Weaselly patched the audio feed through to his employer.

 

[Yoc]

Humes

Switching off the monitor, Humes turns to the lovely young girl.

"Is this private, Mr Humes. Should I come back?" she asks.

"No, not at all, my dear. Just continue with your business." he replies as he starts to strip off.

As the two of them starting to have sex on his chair, the conversation between Dredd and the Chief Judge echos around the room...
