"And the lucky number is..."
The radio crackled throughout the little room. The group was lounged all around- on the couch, the table, the chair, by the fire, wherever. But all of them held a ticket in hand and all of them were staring at the ancient radio they'd still owned since the oldest member's grandmother passed and gave it to them. They'd spent all they had on these tickets- all they had for a slim, less-than-being-hit-by-lightening chance of winning the grand prize... $2 million.
Two million dollars. Man. What they could do with that type of money, they didn't know. But it would have to be something huge.
"...Fifty-six, sixty-three, fifty-five!"
The members chorused out raucous screeches as the numbers were called. That was one of their numbers!
Well... Now they knew nothing would be the same...

"So what are we going to do?"
"Save it?"
"Nah. Tax collectors get on you for that."
"So we need to evade them for the rest of our lives?"
"Maybe... or we just need to spend the hell out of it. Guys, what's something you'd want to do?"
"I've always wanted to go skinny dipping in the Red Sea..."
"Why the Red Sea?"
"That's the one that makes you pretty much float, doesn't it?"
"Man, I don't know."
"I want to visit a bunch of big cities!"
"I want to get the hell outta Dodge, man."
"I've always wanted to buy my own car."
"...Wait."
"What?"
"Let's do it."
"Let's do what?"
"Let's do ALL OF IT."
"How?"
"How? You're preoccupied with HOW? Let's just DO!"
"Races. One mill for each of us in two separate vans... spend as much as we can, have the time of our lives, fuck the police?"
"Hell yeah girlie. Last one back home's a half-smoked pipe!"
"Let's show this world what we're made of!"

From the 'Official RP Suggestion Thread':
Name: Around the World in 100 Days
Genre: Adventure
Plot: Two groups of friends win the lottery together, and decide to compete against one another- they race across the world, going on a scavenger hunt for the entire summer. With virtually unlimited funds now, they're determined to blow every last cent while they can. And what better way then to see the world? The stakes are high, however- there's always the possibility that they could be arrested or killed, as several parts of their journeys call for them to go diving in the Pacific Ocean, rock climbing the Grand Canyon, and driving top speeds through Stelvia Pass, Italy. Will they all make it back at the end?
Influences: Lots and lots of Mika music. Some Scott Pilgrim, maybe. And nerdy references abound!

As well as as much rock and Indie things we can handle.
So yeah. Pretty self-explanatory! Don't need to go over any rules, do I? Have fun, bitches!
