Containment Protocols:
Generally, RPC-XXX is allowed to roam the communal staff facilities of site-002 of its own volition. The exception is between the hours of 10 p.m. and 7 a.m., where RPC-XXX will be placed in a humanoid containment cell, referred to as its dressing room, with adjusted ventilation. Temperature should not go beyond 80 degrees Fahrenheit (26.6 degrees Celsius).
As a tip, try to use vague wording such as "generally", "maybe" and "sometimes" as little as you can. Also, if you are naming an Authority site alongside its numerical designation, you must capitalize it. I would reword this paragraph as:
"RPC-XXX is allowed to roam communal staff facilities at Site-002 on its own volition between 7 a.m. to 10 p.m. Otherwise, RPC-XXX will be placed in a ventilated humanoid containment cell, referred to as its "dressing room." Temperatures inside the cell must not surpass 80°F/26.6°C."
Once to twice per month, RPC-XXX will perform "sold-out shows" that must last between 1 hour and 3 hours.
If the number is less than two digits, write it down fully. I'd reword to: "Bimonthly, RPC-XXX will perform "soul-out shows" lasting between one to three hours."
The charade that RPC-XXX is, in fact, the real Frank Sinatra and that the facility is where it lives and performs must be maintained at all times.
You should try to keep articles as formal and "to the point" as possible. I'd reword the sentence as:
"The pretence that RPC-XXX is the late Frank Sinatra, and Site-002 its living quarters and performance stage, must be maintained at all times."
Description:
RPC-XXX is a wax model sculptor of the late jazz-swing singer Frank Sinatra.
"RPC-XXX is a wax model sculpture of the late jazz-swing singer Frank Albert Sinatra" you should always use a full name if its the first normal time you mention them.
It is fully animated and matches all characteristics of Frank Sinatra on a base level, including height, facial structure, body type, voice (both talking and singing), and even walking patterns. The entity shows no need to sleep, however, chooses to.
After, the first time, you can just refer to them by their last or given name, it's really up to you. I'd shorten this part to: "RPC-XXX is fully animated and an exact physical match of Sinatra, including vocal range, mannerisms, and walking patterns. While not necessitating it, RPC-XXX still chooses to sleep at regular intervals."
Despite the real singer's passing, RPC-XXX believes itself to be Frank Sinatra.
"Despite his late passing, RPC-XXX fully believes itself to be Frank Sinatra." by using a different pronoun, "him", you can still make it clear you're referring to Sinatra while not specifying "singer", as the reader can deduce that due to calling the anomaly an "it."
The entity appears to maintain only a surface-level understanding of Frank Sinatra's personal life. When questioned, it claims the information is "unimportant at the moment" before changing the subject.
"RPC-XXX only holds surface-level knowledge of Sinatra's personal life, changing topics when question by stating their "unimportance" at the given moment."
RPC-XXX will also frequently conjure fictitious assertions of celebrities Frank Sinatra has met in the past, going so far as to construct tales of encounters with modern celebrities who were not born during Frank Sinatra's lifetime. When questioned about these meeting, the entity will reitterate the unimportance of answering.
"RPC-XXX will frequently fabricate fictitious assertions of celebrities Frank Sinatra met during his career, going as far as to construct tales featuring contemporary celebrities born after his passing. RPC-XXX will likewise evade all questioning regarding such inconsistencies."
RPC-XXX is generally sociable with the faculty, conversing with and even offering to sing for others' entertainment. This unprompted offer has been documented as a compulsion of RPC-XXX. If the entity is not permitted or given the opportunity to perform for others, usually every other week, it will enter a dpressive state that will linger until the entity is given the opprotunity to perform.
"RPC-XXX is amicable to Authority staff, conversing and offering to perform for their entertainment. Such behaviour appears to be compulsive. If not allowed to perform for an audience approximately once a week, RPC-XXX will enter a depressive state lasting until an opportunity to perform is provided"
Funny little anomaly idea, I like it
Discovery:
Discovery log
Standard is writing it as Discovery:
RPC-XXX was discovered on 4/14/2015 after being obtained by the Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada.
"RPC-XXX was discovered in 04/14/2015 after acquisition by Madame Tussaud's Wax Museum in Las Vegas, Nevada, USA."
After being placed on display, the entity began to roam before finding employees and asking to direct it to the exit as it had a "very important show to get to". LVMPD was contacted, which was then passed on to the RPC authority.
You mostly never say "RPC Authority," just saying "Authority" is good. I'd reword to: "Shortly after display, RPC-XXX began to roam the building, where it then question present staff for directors to the exit, claiming it had a "very import" show to attend. Local authorities were contacted, alerting the Authority"
Upon arrival, RPC-XXX was convinced the agents were his security there to bring him to his show. Deployed agents were told to keep up the charade and bring the entity back to the site-002 facility.
"Upon arrival, RPC-XXX thought the agents to be event security there to bring him to his show. Agents were told to keep up the façade and bring the entity over to Site-002."
Addendums:
Addendum RPC-XXX-1
You should ONLY ever use "-X" to describe additional entities that make up the anomaly, never to enumerate addendums. You can just say "RPC-XXX - Interviews" and group the two collapsibles under this
Dr. Winn: Hello RPC-XXX.
"Hello, RPC-XXX." you should always say a comma before a name/designation when writing things like greetings.
RPC huh now? The name is Frank Sinatra, but I assumed you knew that, so just call me Frank.
"RPC-huh, now? The name's Frank Sinatra, but I assumed you knew that. Just call me Frank.
Alright then…Frank. I have some questions for you.
" Alright then… Frank." always leave a space after an ellipses
*chuckles*
In interview logs, it's usually best practice to describe actions inside brackets, like so:
RPC-XXX: In the flesh. How could you not recognize this handsome mug?
[RPC-XXX chuckles.]
The main issue being that we are reading what is either an audio or video recording, so seeing just a "*chuckles*" feels a bit out of place and informal
Dr. Winn: I…just wanted to be sure.
I think something like "Yes, yes. Just… wanted to make sure." would flow a little better. Makes the researcher seem less… suspicious.
Dr. Winn: I know that for sure now.
comma after sure
You name them; I've met them.
unnecessary semi-colon, just use a comma
Dr. Winn: And what about people you know that aren't celebrities? Do you keep in contact?
RPC-XXX: Well, that's not important at the moment.
I feel you could express the "faking who I am" bit by putting a smidge of uncertainty here, like so:
Dr. Winn: And what about the non-celebrities? Do you still keep in touch with them?
RPC-XXX: Oh, well, uhm… I don't think that's important at the moment.
RPC-XXX: Sure thing. You see, I woke up this morning on some stage. Well, it looked like a stage. but it didn't look like any venue I've seen, although I have certainly performed in some less than usual places. Anyway, I waited for a while, but no one showed up. I figured I must've had the wrong place, so I began to look for someone.
"Sure thing! You see, I woke up this morning on some stage—well, it looked like a stage—, but it didn't look like any venue I've seen. Although I have certainly performed in some less-than-usual places. Anyways, I waited for while, but no one showed up. I figured I must've had the wrong place, so I began to look for someone."
RPC-XXX: Yes sir. It was this man and woman who I walked over to and asked if they could point me towards the exit so I could get to my show. The woman looked a little…startled. I was unsure why, but before I could ask what was wrong, the man said that I must have been an animatronic or something of the sort. He said he would "find someone to put me back properly", but when he turned, I simply put my hand on his shoulder and told him that I am real and want to get to my show.
"Yes, sir. It was this man and woman whom I walked over to and asked if they could point me towards the exist so I could get to my show. The woman look a little… startled. I was unsure why, but before I could ask what was wring, the man said I must've been an "animatronic" or something of the sort. He said he would "find someone to put me back properly," but when he turned, I simply put my hand on his shoulder and told him that I am real, and want to get to my show"
RPC-XXX: Not just that. The man shoved to the floor. They both ran off screaming, and I didn't want to follow them, so I just went back to where I woke up.
"Not just that. The man shoved me to the floor. They both ran off screaming, and I didn't want to follow them. So, I just went back to where I woke up."
Dr. Winn: And that's when your…"security" showed up?
space after the three dots
your way, RP….I mean, frank.
space after the three dots, and capitalize the name (you should do this every time you use a last or given name)
▲ RPC-XXX Second Interview
I would…. suggest sticking to one theme of collapsibles. Having both collapsibles look different can be a bit confusing
Now follow the script and keep the paper below the table; they're bringing him in now.
"Now, follow the script and keep the paper below the table. They're bringing him in now."
Uh…y-yep. That's me.
space after the three dots
CSD-2143: I wanted to say that your show was great…and I really…really enjoyed it.
same thing with all three dots
CSD-2143: That you…uhhh
same thing
RPC-XXX: [looking over to the guards]
Always capitalize things if they're at the beginning of dialogue, even if its between brackets.
if I was a "statue made of wax.".
remove the last period
RPC-XXX: I…That's not…It's…Impossible
"RPC-XXX: I… that's not… it's… impossible."
Dr. Winn: Fuck. Guards get him out of there and back to his cell. I'll deal with CSD-2143.
you mean "I'll deal with CSD-2143 later."?
RPC-XXX No…This isn't right…I am…I am Frank Sinatra. Please listen. I am…I have to be…I have to be Frank Sinatra…I… have to be.
"RPC-XXX: No… this isn't right. I am… I am Frank Sinatra! Please, listen. I am… I have to be… I have to be Frank Sinatra. I… have to be."
Final Thoughts:
It was a fun little article. I wished we could've seen more "oddity" from the wax statue, acting like it's a parody of itself, like quoting lyrics from "his" songs, or mentioning random celebrities and encounters he had with them like it's a family guy sketch ("Slow down, paisan. You're sweating somethin' fierce right there. Almost as bad as when me and DeVito went to the sauna down in Brooklyn."/"Oh, normal acquaintances? Well, uhm… I've had a few, but then again, too few to mention.") I guess I'm trying to say that, besides the last bit, it really did just feel like it was Sinatra just talking, besides the hand stabbing. Nice first draft thou!
