(THIS IS A REPOST. YOU ARE NOT EXPERIENCING DEJA VU.)
In what is most likely the distant future, several violent diseases have come up and a new type of injection has come to light to cure them. It's in its trial stage, you see. A miracle cure that should prevent the youth of the world from contracting those fatal illnesses. People from all over the world are offering up their children to be part of the trial, looking toward a shining and healthy future for their loved ones. All who enter are accepted into the trial.
The cure, as it turns out, is an injection of several microscopic machines. They circulate throughout the body and place the user in a coma. The machines then transmit and connect with those in the other users, linking their brainways and locking them in a world in their own heads. It appears to be a rough copy of the world they already live in, however, the only people that live in it are the users- the kids and teenagers being subjected to the study. Because of this, the many systems and services run by other people quickly shut down and cease to function. It is in the ensuing panic that the users realize the other major difference between this world and the waking one. The world around them can be manipulated by their thoughts. What they will to be shall be.
The cure to the fatal diseases turns out to be the placement of the deathly ill into a sleep-like state in which, if their will is strong enough, they can live happily in a world where nothing goes wrong and their families, if their memory serves them well enough, exist alongside them. This can happen due to the fact that the entire world is a manifestation of the users' thoughts and brainpower. The machines stop all unnecessary functions of the body so that no disease can continue to spread. They'll live a long life inside a world of their own creation. The agency that created it just needs a good example of it's affects to patent the "drug".
One of the flaws they hope to work out is humanity's inherent desire to expand. They can't place the fatally ill into a world where they'll just live in a war with weaponry of unimaginable creative and destructive force. This flaw shows itself in the study as the world that started out curious, then turned to panic and then to relief fades into bickering and battle. The users are looking to build armies, to rule this infinite world and to take over. Those with more intelligence and quicker wits begin to kill off the slower ones, and, to the agency's horror, when they die within this drug-induced dream, all bodily functions shut down in the physical world as well, and the user dies.
At this point, it's impossible for the agency to take them from their dreams. The word of the evil things that had already happened and of the initial lie the agency told to the public- which was that the study was a long-standing research camp that would involve the injection of drugs and the simple documentation of blood-cell count and heart rate- would spread via the users and destroy the agency. As such, they're forced to sit back and watch as thousands of kids murder each other within the safety of their own minds. -
I f---ing hate you all.

Who is being roleplayed?
Kids? Scientists? Random bystanders? -
^ that question
I need to know, as well. -
I'd intended for it to be the recipients of the injection, the ones trapped in their own minds, but if you're more interested in being a scientist, you can do that, too. In which case we should hope that someone else would play someone who could interact with you.
