Welcome to the Restaurant. Feel free to wander the halls or take a seat in the bar. If you'd like a table for yourself, simply ask a waiter. Our windows give excellent view of the End, wherever in the Restaurant you are.


In the vast uncaring universe where everything is nothing but a speck of dust in the grand scheme of things, the Restaurant is an oddity. It sits in a time bubble, at the moments surrounding the End of the Universe, after everything that could happen has happened, after all the places and history and people has come and gone. No one know hot it came to be. They only know that it's powered by Infinity, seemingly being able to indefinitely sustain itself despite the destruction and/or non-existence of everything else, and that

There are as many ways to reach it as there are methods and systems and beliefs in the universe: the time travellers are given a brochure as soon as they figured the whole time travelling thing out, the dimension hoppers would probably crash land into it on their first trips. It's also not uncommon to have someone simply popping in there without knowing how they got there either.

Regardless of the mode of transportation, the Restaurant accepts everyone and invites all to come and bask in the glory of The End, which plays and loops back on itself right outside the window.

Food is free and seating can always be adjusted.




A Couple of Words

Hello, and welcome to the Restaurant.

Although the title and basic concept of the Restaurant is taken from Douglas Adams The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy trilogy, this RP is not otherwise related to the series. We do appreciate the jokes, though.

Character creation isn’t tied down to a specific world. You can make a wizard from the medieval age, an engineer from a magic-free 21st century, a soldier from an alt-history where Germany won the war, a fire dragon from a distant planet or whatever. I urge you to create one with a deep and/or interesting backstory so your character can have a lot to tell, but I won't mind either way.

This RP is more conversational than action-based. The tone I’m aiming for is light-hearted, relaxed, and good-humoured. You can make an edgy character, if you like, but don’t expect others to play along.

Feel free to join anytime. You don't have to read all the previous IC posts; the latest GM post and the posts afterwards should tell you all you need to know about the current situation and surrounding.

You can just jump into the RP without waiting for approval, but you should still fill in the CS and put it to the Characters tab to keep your character consistent. If you want your character to be a staff in the Restaurant, talk to me about it first.

You may leave the roleplay at any time. Just write something IC to explain that your characters are leaving, so you don't leave other players on a limbo.

If the pace of the roleplay is not to your liking, kindly talk about it with the players whose characters you are interacting with.

As this is Casual, not Free, you ought to do a bit more than a one-liner.

Whatever the GM says goes.

Stay cool.

Holy baloney, I'm hooked. I'm in the middle of my exam week though so I'll hopefully drop off a character sheet tonight (or at the end of the week lmao).

EDIT: So I ended up doing both my char sheet and first post - yippee! Also, I've never ordered coffee in my life so idk if I'm doing it right (also p sure you don't order coffee at a bar? But the Authoress doesn't care lmao).

The Authoress refers to people as characters sometimes, since life, to her, is essentially a collection of stories.

i have a character very similar to yours @Night_ Star

would anyone, including you, object to such a character being introduced, with more modest "abilities"?

characters considering...

The Infamous.

Levi (just found out a few weeks ago he is a character in a book, and isnt happy toward the author) and his Author's Ambassador (speaks for the author)

The WorldWeaver (me, basically; similar to Authoress)

Lol, it's fine. The Restaurant is a bit weird too in that you can just order whatever whenever wherever (assuming there's someone to take your order, 'course).

Nope! I'm perfectly fine with it.

The WorldWeaver (me, basically; similar to Authoress)

Oh, the Authoress isn't based off myself, if that's what you're implying. Unless you meant that the WorldWeaver's similar to the Authoress, in which case that would be interesting to see.

Does that mean John's not there 24/7, then? Where does he go?

EDIT: If anyone's confused, the Authoress is pretending to be another character, or rather, someone she's not.
It's one of her tactics to "create stories".

Well he's there most of the time, but there could be some unforeseen incidents. The Restaurant being the Restaurant and all. There are workings inside it that aren't entirely perfect (maybe. I'm making things up as I go along). Also there are other people on staff, in case anyone's wondering.

i just want to give a little backstory: since this is gonna be a heavy-dialogue RP, there will be a lot of exposition regarding my characters. 15 years worth. I decided i might bring in all three, if thats ok. so regarding the dialogue, if anyone wants to get an inside scoop on any of my characters, this would be the place to do it.

@Night_ Star oh ok, sorry. but yeah, the WorldWeaver would be more akin to an Author's Avatar since it is literally impossible for me to physically be there.

So to sum up: D'ren (The Infamous), a character created by the WorldWeaver, has just finished conquering another universe and is visiting the Restaurant for a whiskey or something, but Levi will see him there and try to talk to him. Levi is going insane with the realization that he is not real, just a figment of the WW's imagination, and he will try to convince The Infamous of this as well.

My Ambassador (a woman who speaks for me, but is not me) will be there to try to reign in Levi's insanity, and The Infamous'...well, insanity. They're both insane, but in different ways. However, I will show up in the form of an avatar called the WorldWeaver and threaten to unmake them.

All of this is to give the readers an idea of the relationship between myself and my characters, for better or for worse.

@Infamous Empath: Sounds like a fun trio. Trio? Quartet? Trio with the Author hovering around them? Err, I hope you don't mind if someone randomly try to strong-arm your avatar because there are currently two drunkards in the bar.

OH WAIT IGNORE MY POST I didn't see that there was a new one sorry hold on I'm editing

EDIT: Aaaaand fixed! Yay! That part abt the atoms clashing was just me trying to sound like I know Science (I don't. My Science paper is tmrw tho so x.x). Poor 'Sandra' thinks that the universe is still intact. Even though she's not an actual character, she's beginning to grow on me. XD

Oh, is it getting too fast? Hmm, I kinda want to make it easier for new players even though the RP has gone on.

Maybe make it "Don't have to read all the previous post, just read latest GM post" for newcomers? I can make it clear who are where in my posts. What do you guya think?

@Night_ Star: Zig is, like, perpetually drunk, I think? Judging from the CS and the way he talks.

That sounds good. A bartender should watch his customers anyway, in case a bar fight breaks out. :p I'm sorry if I'm posting too fast, I'm actually trying to pace myself by waiting for at least a couple of other people to respond first.

I meant to mention this last night but there is a reason to why the Authoress is kinda over-powered. She doesn't know it, though, and it won't be relevant to the RP (plus it's still a work in progress? She's kind of a self-indulgent joke character that I kept to myself until now) so I probably won't bring it up IC at all.

@RinOkumara What are Zig's abilities though? So he's a telepath; does that mean he can glean off everything he needs to know from another character? Man, I feel like I'm asking way too many questions but I'm confused. XD

Yes Zig is perpetually drunk ('cus I'm perpetually drunk)
Zig's powers are telepathy, breathing fire, breathing poisonous gas, shape shifting and hypnosis.

Ayy, I'm liking the new summary whatchamacallit. That's definitely gonna be useful for new players.

Erised's the Embodiment of Desire (which is Erised backwards...or the other way round) and she's basically the antithesis of the Authoress but she won't be showing up here. Otherwise, she'll probably want to play with everyone (ergo, torture/maim/kill or just toy with them) and that's no good. I actually had more to add on with the Authoress' thought processes, especially with the appearance of Cledwynn, but I felt like my post was running too long. XD

On a side note, I've been thinking of adding another character (not Erised) but I don't wanna be too loaded yet? Maybe in the June holidays or whenever my schedule starts to ease up or smtg ^.^
