Hey, everyone!
So, I know that In Time is an old movie now, but I’ve been thinking of doing an RP based on it for ages, so I thought, I better stop ... wasting time *finger guns*
Anyway, if you haven’t seen the movie, it’s about a futuristic society in which people stop ageing at twenty-five. Once they hit that age, their clock activates (the clock is formatted as years/weeks/days/minutes/seconds and glows on their forearm) and they only have a year until they ‘time out’ - i.e. die. People must work in order to gain time, therefore it has become the universal currency.
The world is separated into zones: the time-rich live luxuriously and can essentially be immortal. The time-poor live in bad conditions and often don’t have more than a couple of days at a time, some even living by a few hours between paycheques. Timekeepers are the police in this society.
So! As for plot, I don’t really have anything concrete. I was thinking a Timekeeper gets stuck in a poor zone and has to be escorted by a resident there, perhaps in exchange for leniency - chaos and romance ensue (would prefer to play the resident!) Maybe the Timekeeper becomes disillusioned with the oppression and seeks out a similar-minded citizen to upset the system (the citizen could be a rich person or otherwise). Again, chaos and romance ensue.
There’s a lot of possibilities, but I certainly want that dynamic between law and rabble-rouser. And also certainly that it’s gonna be MxM and there’s going to be romance involved! If you have any ideas, please bring them on over.
Now, I don't have many rules, but these are two absolutely vital and non-negotioanable ones: My partners must be 18+, and there will be absolutely no smut in the story. And when I say absolutely no smut, I mean not even fade to black, I mean not even allusions. I am not interested. I do cute stuff with characters and their relationships but that's it.
Very serious stuff, wow. For the less serious!
I’m looking for a more casual pace than I’ve had in the past. I’ve been an advanced writer for ages but other commitments and a tendency towards creative burnout has made me reconsider the quantity. Things like establishing posts will be longer, but the rest I’m hoping for a lighter volume. I’ll still give you plenty to work with, though!
I write via PMs exclusively and adore OOC chat. My timezone will likely be off from yours as I’m from the land down under. Like I said, I have commitments that are still in full swing even with everything going on, so my reply rate may be wonky. Also, sometimes I just don’t have the muse for writing. I will always let you know if it’s going to be a longer period of time!
Annnddd, that’s about it? I guess? Send me a PM or reply here if you’re interested ~
