House of Leaves
This is not for you.
Background
In the summer of 1990 Will Navidson, a photojournalist, and his family moved to a new house in south-west Virginia. After returning from a wedding they discovered unsettling occurrences had transpired: the outside of their house was smaller than the inside. Soon, empty black corridors started appearing in the house's walls and after only a month or two, an entirely pitch black labyrinth remained behind a lonesome cupboard door, stretching for miles into the darkness.
Navidson planned an expedition into the maze. Along with a small number of trustworthy friends armed with camping supplies to last them a week and numerous recording devices, they ventured deep into the heart of the phenomenon. The madness and horror that followed was documented and released under the name of The Navidson Record.
Our Story
Twenty-five years after The Navidson Record, a group of Swedish graduates rent an apartment together in Gävle, Sweden. None of the graduates know anything about The Navidson Record, but after not even a month of living in the flat, it starts to feel a little too spacious...
Summary
The events that happened to Navidson and his family will happen to this group of swedes, and they decide to document it. This is the story of their own Navidson Record. What happens after the event described in Our Story is totally in the control of the participants, however.
Rules
- No-one has to be able to speak Swedish. This will all be in English (unless the occasional Swedish would make things interesting!).
- This is a realistic RP. Characters are normal people. This means no superpowers, anime, furries, vampires, werewolves, etc... The fantasy is entirely in the house's mystery. I can elaborate on what this means if you are still unsure.
- I don't expect strict adherence to the rules of casual RP - sometimes less is more and the RP simply doesn't require a long post, and sometimes you wish to express so much through your post that you have to write a page's worth! However, you are strongly encouraged to write with thought, and refrain from being lazy. People have amazingly detailed thoughts, actions, emotions - settings, even as bland as the inside of the house, can be described in an infinite number of ways.
