The 'Plot' | |————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Currently, the RP lacks any plot and I can assure you that this is entirely intentional. The roleplay will be heavily reliant on your writing skills, and as such a large portion of the roleplay and its' plot will rely on your ability to come up with interesting quirks for your characters, and things they can and will say to other characters.
However, if that was all there was, this would not be an RP that lasted long. To amend this there is a vague hint of a plot available, did you wish to pursue it. And it's an obvious one; what even is this place? It would be interesting if one character could bring other characters together after getting to know them and spending time with them, to figure out just what this lounge they are in actually is. And the answer is likely more convoluted and strange than they might even expect, if they find it at all. In the history of the lounge, nobody has ever found out much about it, so keep that in mind when you go exploring and realize; every step forward is a step that nobody else has taken, most likely.

The Setting | |————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
Suddenly, you find yourself in a strange environment. Behind you is a set of locked doors with blurry glass in them, and when you look through them you can make out little more than what seems to be total darkness. It must be night, it seems. Through the heavy, double door in front of you you can see a large area with bright lights and jazzy music playing. A sense of calm has taken over your body since the moment you entered, but it is only now beginning to settle in you that you feel remarkably.. relaxed. Even more so, you suddenly realize just where you are; a lounge. Then.. surely your purpose when you came here was to sit down and, well, lounge? Through the double door you will find an exceptionally equipped lounge, where doors somehow magically appear with new rooms behind them that somehow fit your imagination. The vintage and rustic looks of the lounge seem to put you at ease even more than the strange effect did when you entered. Hm, perhaps this place isn't so bad, after all?
The Time Pocket Lounge is a lounge set in some alternate dimension of spectacular design. Not only is time irrelevant here, as evidenced by the fact that people from all era's are in the lounge, it's also in direct contact with earth itself. Nobody quite knows how or why, but some people just happen to find themselves in this lounge all of a sudden. Faced with a sudden new location would be entirely alarming, but it seems that this universe has accounted for that, and the moment a new arrival appears in the entryway, they feel a sense of calmness and familiarity overcome them. Not only that - no, that would not be enough to prepare them for the technological shock they were about to endure. Besides the calming nature of the universe, it also somehow informs them of the workings of the lounge at the moment of arrival.
There will be no cavemen swinging their giant club around because they are confused with the concept of beer, oh no!
The machinations of the Time Pocket Lounge are mysterious and none have quite managed to figure out how it works, but really, what need is there to figure anything out at all if you are faced with such luxury! You have but to imagine it, and it will appear. This Soviet Cosmonaut wants to have a karaoke hall? So be it! A door opens and a cozy karaoke hall presents itself! The Cherokee warrior wishes for a smoking lounge? So be it! Yet another door opens and presents itself with a cozy smoking lounge!
Thus, opportunities are endless, but if amusement is not your thing, fear not, the wide variety of drinks (namely, every drink to exist and have ever existed before!) will be more than enough to sate your alcoholic desires!
So, take a seat, and enjoy your stay in the Time Pocket Lounge! It's not like leaving is an option, after all!

The Premise | |————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————
In this roleplay we will take on the roles of characters, original or 'canon', from historical era's of our world. So, think among the likes of cavemen, hunters and gatherers, geisha's, samurai, cowboys, soldiers from world war one or two, etcetera. Any era is possible, so long as you remain in the existing history of our world. Know of an interesting historical figure you'd like to portray? You can play them too.
Suppose they somehow arrived in this lounge where they can relax and hang out with other people from other era's (or the same, if luck favors that). They can talk and discuss, they can engage in activities together, in short they can interact with each other in any way possible. Always wondered what a Soviet soldier would say to a samurai? This is your chance to find out (or rather, fabricate it yourself). Nothing, thus, is out of reach.
Or is it? Although this is an RP that focuses on the interactions between characters, and yes, that might mean characters that are radically opposed to each other would meet, this is not an RP for fictional battles between historical figures or ideologies. Let's suppose that there's some sort of effect over everyone that prevents harm from befalling anyone.
This means that the RP is highly based off of dialogue and interaction. As such, the players make the game. The way this will take place is thus entirely dependent on the players and how far they are willing to go to create interesting dynamic and dialogue. Consider it, if anything, a way for aspiring writers to improve their dialogue writing skills, and their ability to immerse themselves in a character. That means, yes, you may and should create a character that has interesting views, view that are outdated or that you disagree with. For the sake of character development, why not?
