Lord Wraith Presents...

P R E M I S E:
Welcome to La Petite Mort
The faded sign beckons you to enter as you look up at the run-down colonial-era mansion. The front porch light flickers, casting shadows against the moss and vine-covered walls. What was once painted white was now peeling, having turned to a sickly yellow due to age and exposure to the elements. A massive weeping willow hangs over the entire front yard, its fallen leaves as much a part of the laneway as the loose gravel the crunches beneath the slow-moving tires of your faltering vehicle.
The weather had taken an unexpected turn when the hurricane turned back towards shore and unfortunately the tour bus hadn't been able to make it back to the city before the roads were washed out. After driving around in the dark and pouring rain, the bus driver finally found the run-down hotel before you and the other tourists. With no choice but to begrudgingly spend the night here instead of your paid hotel, you decide to make the best of it, grinning and bearing the inconvenience.
After all, you're on vacation, may as well roll with the punches.
What's the worst thing that could happen?

This is intended to be a short suspense-filled RP and me stepping out of my comfort zone as a GM. Each player will take the role of a tourist aboard the bus that has found itself trapped at a rather eerie hotel somewhere in the bayou of Louisiana. With no choice but to stay the night, players will be encouraged to interact with each other and explore the hotel but that's when things start to get creepy. As the GM, I will be providing information to all players in the IC, but there will be times when you may receive a PM from me detailing information specific to you and an action you took in the IC.
Players are encouraged to create characters that play off of one another. So if you and a friend want to create characters with a pre-existing relationship, I encourage it. Parent and child, lovers, childhood best friends, you're playing tourists there's plenty of opportunities for characters here.
One thing I will note is that you are humans, no special abilities, no magic, nothing extraordinary about you in the slightest. Which I realize is unusual for an RP done by me, but like I said, I'm stepping out of my comfort zone here a bit.
So yes, please indicate your interest below and lets see if we can get this thing off the ground. Let me know if there's any questions and I'll do my best to answer them.
