[OOC] Summer Secrets - Closed

[The Muse]

║Disclaimer║ Please do not join if you are triggered/do not like discussing dark topics like depression, drug abuse, disorders, or other controversial things.

Welcome to Millington, a town that appears humble on the surface, yet hides layers of secrets beneath it.

Millington is located on the west side of the United States, a couple hours or so away from any central cities. Mostly untouched, the town still retains much of it’s natural beauty and has become a destination for camping vacations on the outskirts of the city. While the people may not be as breathtaking, Millington hides it well.

Much like the rest of the population in Millington, the Reese family has many secrets of their own. Each member of the family afraid to tell another person, fearing judgement or worse; allowing their life to come crashing down. Unfortunately for them, the large family of eight was downsized to a family of six due to the deaths of their beloved parents in February 2016. Now, the oldest siblings must take on more responsibility despite their own personal issues. Trying to keep the family from falling apart would prove more difficult than it looked.

This is a continuation of the original Secrets. See here if you would like to read up on what happened in that RP. We can always summarize for you as well.

Here you can see some of the hot spots in Millington. We'll continue adding more as time goes on.

Secrets List

Only two characters at a time may have any one secret. If it is crossed out, that secret is completely taken.

Each character may only have one secret at a time. When that secret is resolved, you may pick a new one. Your character may be involved with multiple of these if you wish, but it must not be a secret. Example: A homosexual who does not hide their sexuality, but has a different hidden secret.

Do not give away your secret - only PM it to @The Muse as stated in the Rules - we'd like to keep it as a sort of guessing game to find out who has what secret. It is up to you whether or not your character shares their secret with other characters as it progresses. Some secrets will be more obvious than others to the reader, but not IC.

[Snagglepuss89]

I've managed to piss Muse off before even posting in the OOC.

I'm going to enjoy this second season immensely.

[LovelyComplex]

@Snagglepuss89 I might make a C.S. for Jude since you have one for Lizzy xDD

[Snagglepuss89]

Go one step further. Have them adopt a pet and make a CS for it.

[LovelyComplex]

@Snagglepuss89 _{Why adopt when there's Elliot and Lizzy?}

[Snagglepuss89]

@Snagglepuss89 _{Why adopt when there's Elliot and Lizzy?}

@lovely complex

Well played. I accept your invitation.

[Gowi]

And now to do my part. Using the magic of mystical kung fu, I will summon the friends I have that are into melodramatic slice of life shenanigans in the possibility to strengthen the bonds of the RP! Now understand that this old twisted Polish magic has varying results (including the possibility of it not working at all!) so let us see.

@McHaggis@Dirty Pretty Lies@MissCapnCrunch@ADParis

[LovelyComplex]

To this day, I look at the Sims 4 house I made and am like... man, I put too much damn time in that (referring to Updates section in the Character tab)

[Fabricant451]

@lovely complex It's not the ideal Sims house though since there's no room that exists only to trap and kill your sim people

[Gowi]

@lovely complex It's not the ideal Sims house though since there's no room that exists only to trap and kill your sim people

@Fabricant451

Do they have a swimming pool?

[LovelyComplex]

@Gowi Not the Reeses since mother wanted a garden instead. But I think their good neighbor cop Jerry does <3 POOL PARTY BBQ AT JERRY'S HOUSE @Themerlinhawk

@Fabricant451 The Reese family is the death trap.

[Fabricant451]

@lovely complex Everything's a death trap or nothing is, that's how it needs to be.

[Gowi]

There was this one time in Sims 1 where I removed the door to Cassandra Goth’s bedroom and gave her a fireworks machine indoors… heh.

[Snagglepuss89]

I once invited a family over in the Sims 3 and killed them so that their dog would be put up for adoption and I could have it.

[LovelyComplex]

When I first discovered this cheat in Sims 2 where you can move the need bar, I tested it on one of my character's sons. Rather than logically testing the bladder one or sleep, I slid the hunger bar to 0 and starved the child to death.

[The Muse]

I'm surrounded by murderers. xD

Anyway, Lovely, Vicious and I are working on a collab but I have to go for the night.

Everyone - please refrain from posting in the IC until I have our first post up. :] We should have it up tomorrow night.

[LovelyComplex]

If you have any questions, I'll be up for another hour or so xD

[Themerlinhawk]

And I'm here. Finally.

[MissCapnCrunch]

I felt a summoning in my glorious loins from what I sense to be of the Polish descent. THAT aside, this role play does interest me, but I will be first to admit that I am a little overwhelmed with all the information here I have to educate myself on. However, I'd love to join this lovely group of people if you'll have me.

Perhaps even a guiding hand and a romantic dinner if you're into that.

[LovelyComplex]

@MissCapnCrunch We are willing to lessen the overwhelmingness if you can direct us with questions :3
For example, if you need to know what happened prior to Summer Secrets, I can give you a recap. The basic premise is: A family of practically kids. The oldest being 22, lost their parents a month THREE MONTHS ago. Now they're trying to figure out their life in a small town neighborhood. We are still waiting for a few others to move on over from last Season, to here, so we can get a better idea of whose still along for the ride. You can be anyone really in this small town, and if you want to be connected to the main family, sure, why not. You'll just have to discuss it with us.

Either way, you keep your secret private, PMing it to Muse. Not even co-gms knows people's secrets and in game, you live your character's life. More often than not, shit gets real. There's at least one major big scene a day. Once your character's secret is resolved, revealing secrets is only one step of the struggle, you can have a new one :D

Also I'm a piss poor Chef xD soooooooooo if you want a shitty romantic dinner, I got you? _{Lets make Viciousmarrow jealous}
