"Blood is thicker than water."
The Premise
Carrington Family Motto: aquila non capit muscas.
An eagle does not catch flies. And neither does a Carrington. And many a reason why the act of transcendence estranged a litter of children from a grand fortune.
How many years has it been since the family congregated? Since a reunion had been held between parents and children? A decade, maybe. Maybe more. Of course, Reginald and Cassiopeia Carrington care very little for counting the days that passed. Too many meetings to trifle with something as mundane as reconnecting with lost loved ones.
So why this holiday season? After all the attempted times have failed miserably, erupted in a bumping of egos and accusations. Perhaps it's a game for the two. Many are cautious of the gifts given by snakes, having bites to show for it. Skepticism will likely keep a person surviving in the game of chess these two have prepared.
So, you've likely received a letter and a package in the mail not long ago. Thanksgiving has since passed and you are either preparing for the rest of the holidays to come. Inside the envelope are tickets, however many you need, to board a plane to New York and from there directions to a private wing of the airport. Whatever that may entail. Along with it a black express card for all and any purchase made for however long they deem necessary.
At your feet lays the package containing a personalized (or however personalized it can get coming from parents you barely know anymore) present just for you and your plus one.
And now, all that's left to determine is whether or not this whole trip is worth it.
And exactly what your parents are playing at.
What to Expect
When you're expecting! Just kidding. I loved that movie, though. >_> <_< Shh.
Since an RP closed abruptly and left a few roleplayers hanging, this is simply me (and Miso Soup) hoping to have caught your interest either for good or until the other RP starts kicking again. Hopefully, we have that. If we don't, I apologize. ;( We tried our best.
So, what is this RP entailing? Well, the plan is to have all of us play the siblings, whilst Miso and I play the parents when needed. What about the romaNCE? THOUGH? That's what the Plus Ones are for!
We're giving you the option to either play a sibling, play a plus one to someone's character, or play both. As a sibling, you'll be tied to an age group, in which there are 10 siblings to choose from whose age range from 16-44, depending. You have creative freedom over everything but the age range and one pair will be twins, so there's that too. I'll let you lot choose who the twins can be. Gender, personality, job, history (aside from the obvious), will be up to you. You can even play someone who's adopted. Just not everyone. Cause they obviously had a few biological children.
As for the plus ones, you have your imagination. Which is why I'm allowing you to play a sibling or this or both. Of course, you might have to wait to create them, or you might just have to be willing to change a few things. Depends all on you. They can be husbands/wives, boyfriends/girlfriends, friends, a kid even (like 16+ though pleaseeee, so obviously have to be a kid to one of the older siblings), you could have seen this guy at the airport and thought, shit, they can be my fake boyfriend or husband. Your damn boss, for all I care. Get creative with it, but be realistic. All I really require is that they know one of the Carrington kids don't care how.
The setting of the RP is obviously Europe and it'll occur over an entire month and a week. So that's 5 weeks max. Depending on how the story progresses, I'm not sure how long those weeks are (7 days you idiot, duh). My goal and my purpose here is to both enjoy myself and keep you all interested, so obviously there is a plot to this story other than "Awful parents invite kids and their friends to go on a Euro Trip!" I have a few ideas of where I want to take this in terms of setting, but I'll give you guys the leash for those, for now.
My plans take our characters to Italy, Germany, France, Spain, and the UK. Obviously the MOST cliche destinations of the goddamn world. Which is totally why I'm letting you guys give me ideas.
tl;dr: These guys have a lot of kids, they're super rich. Their kids kind of hate their guts and so they've dropped all forms of contact for a helluva long ass time. The parents are inviting all of their kids to a trip to Europe for 5 weeks! They're probably scheming something like the assholes they are.
