You've entered a rather large library of sorts and are immediately met with an ambience. The building itself is cylindrical in shape, at least as far as you can tell from it's interior. Lining every inch of the walls are shelves where one would display any number of books, hundreds of thousands by the look of it. Strangely enough however, there are only four. Their spines stand out against a bleach white backdrop and the simple, humble light wood holding them in place at about the same height as your eye line. The rest of the library is surprisingly empty. Save for the door to your right that's been shut and bears a sign that reads "The backroom is currently closed. -Management."

Also there's a man. Sitting dead center and across the room from you is in fact a person you hadn't noticed earlier. He's behind a rather large oak desk that obscures everything him from his chest down. The laptop in front of him doesn't help either. From the chest up, he's wearing a rather plain peach colored shirt with what looks like black dots spaced about two inches from each other and crawling across it in a uniformed pattern. The chin and edges of his face are obscured underneath a thin layer of black facial hair. However, you can still make out the sharper edges hidden there. His lip are nearly full without being feminine. His nose is straight and nearly as sharp as his chin. Brown eyes sit within square, black framed lenses that sit snug atop the bridge of his nose. His hair is shaved at the sides but he's crowned tall and thick and pushed just so to the side.

He's focused on whatever he's doing, almost completely so, at least until his eyes snap over to you.

"Oh.........OH! Oh hi! Uh.. Welcome to the uh... the Library!" He says as he clamors out of his seat and stands to greet you. He almost reaches for a handshake, but as he moves to extend his hand, he suddenly stops and his expression changes. As if he'd remembered something important, the man blinks and quickly turns away before reaching for something behind the desk. He returns a moment later affixing a mask to his face. "So sorry..." He stammers as he continues, talking through the thin blue barrier as he finishes looping the last elastic band around his ear. "I always forget and you're like... the first person in here... haha." His nervous laughter does little to hide his own apparent awkwardness and even less to distract you from his eyes which are clearly searching you. They wander for a minute before finding your eyes once more.

"Y-... You're here for the job, right?" He asks, raising an eyebrow. "It's pretty simple actually. We're trying to fill this library but the books are all empty." As he continues, he gestures to the four books behind him. "This is all we have for now and let me tell you... getting these together was not easy. Oh!" He reaches again for something behind the desk and pulls out a piece of paper and pen before placing it on the desk in front of you. "Uh... standard work contract." He taps the 'X' at the bottom of the page. "Please read and sign and then pick whichever book you...'fancy'..." He chuckles. "'Bout to get my vocab working here."

P L A Y W I T H M E
a 1x1 interest check

employer
Exit. Casual/Advanced. A particularly slow poster. I reside in the US and in the state of California, so my activity is usually reflective of the timezone. Music appreciator. Occasional dabbler in bbcode. I've been RPing since high school and have been on the site for a little over a decade, mostly taking part in group games. Besides diving into the stories and worlds dreamed of a few others, this will be my first foray into a strict 1x1 RP run by me since I've joined.

I am seeking ONE person to help me breathe life into one of the following worlds, any one of their choosing. As these are pairings, I would prefer a female step into the role and play a female character. However, if anyone presents rather enticing story beat ideas for a platonic MxM pairing, I may elect to play that instead.

responsibilities
These games are strictly casual. I would also like to emphasize the importance of limitations placed on my hobby by real life expectations. I no longer have the free time I once did to dedicate hours of my life every day to writing. Instead, I get maybe an hour daily. That does not include what time I can get away with for lurking and simple replies to non-RP related topics.

What does this mean for you? You get the peace of mind knowing that my expectation for a quick reply is generally low. That being said, please aim for a post a week. Post density is also similarly lax. I do not require lengthy, multi-paragraph replies with bloated literature when a single, well written one will accomplish the same. I also do not prefer single sentence replies. Posts must be at minimum, one paragraph in length.

Proper grammar should be a natural want for any writer.

prerequisites
To save some time, and to ensure our writing levels and style will work well together, I will be looking at writing samples from potential partners' history of posts. If you have none, then a small writing sample will need to be submitted.

A drug test may also need to be submitted.

minimum age requirement
Explicit scenes of sex ARE PERMITTED and as such, I require my partner to be at least 18 years of age or older. That being said, these games are not centered on sex and while well written SMUT can be a indulging read, if you're looking for something quick, you will not find it here.

That also does not mean there won't be any play during work hours. Please let me know if you prefer to 'fade to black'.

benefits
Don't be afraid to reach out to me outside the confines of the RP. I'm easy going, easy to talk to and am always willing to lend an ear if you need it. If you have concerns or need assistance or would like to bounce ideas off me in the interim, please feel free. You can reach me via PMs on the site or through my discord which is provided below. I don't bite but I do run the risk of being an extremely average individual in the real world so fair warning.

termination
It would be unreasonable for me to expect anyone to stick around indefinitely. Whether real life is pulling you away or you've simply grown tired of the game, no matter the reason, simply tell me you can longer participate. I do not need to know why, unless you want to share, and there will be no hard feelings.

After you're done with the paper, you move toward the shelf. The books await, pristine and looking as though they had never been touched. "Take your time." You hear him call out to you from behind. "And let me know if you have any questions."



A comment from Exit.10.23.20.23:30 PST
This Interest Check is now closed. However, book descriptions
will remain up in case there are other interested parties who
would like to play in the future. I've actually taken on more
players than I originally wanted so am stretched well beyond my
usual capabilities.

If you have any questions, feel free to send me a PM.

You return to the man at the desk and catch him absentmindedly spinning around in his office chair. He completes a full revolution before he finally notices you watching and catches himself with a foot against the base of the desk, ending his fun. "Find one you like? And before you ask..." He glances to the shut door. "No. There aren't anymore books in the backroom. Just experien-... Imeanthere'snothingbackthere."

His lips tighten.
