@Ocelot79 @Xandrya @Vertigo @Squirrel98 @Estylwen
I plan to backread this weekend! Hopefully I'll be able to post ic soonish as well! <3

@Sky Blue
Hello again! But whoa there! I'm grateful for your enthusiasm and wanting to join this rp, but just as a heads up, you really shouldn't just post in the character tab of random rp without permission. It's best to show interest in the ooc tab first by posting your cs there.

Anyways, there are a few problems with your characters:

my thoughts

1) Aging is awkward. Your character is 24 and his child is 10 years old. Even though the child is adopted, it still feels too young for a parent with the child being that old. This is meant more as a daycare for toddlers/preschool, not elementary school aged kids.

2) This rp is all about fears and phobias, so it makes no sense to have a character who isn't afraid of things like death and pain.

3) Military guys are great, but he's a war veteran at 24??

Please note this is meant as constructive criticism and not me being rude!

And of course, @Estylwen, what do you think??

[Lexisheeps]

@Sky Blue It is better, yes! Thank you for fixing it! Just waiting to see what @Estylwen thinks now, as she's my partner in crime over here. <3

[Sky Blue]

@Lexisheepsalright. just a warning in advance, I will be a chaotic person and probably accidently derail the plot, but i will eventually save the kid. or at least attempt to. just lemme know if i get off topic. adhd, y'know...

[Estylwen]

@Sky Blue Hello! Thanks for your interest. Just a couple things I noticed with you CS.

1) I will need images to be added to your CS, or long descriptive paragraphs on appearance before I can accept them.

2) I find it very unlikely they would have gone to the military, and then adopted a child. This is usually a ploy if someone wants to be extra powerful in a role play. As this is more cosmic horror and atmospheric, I will always scale the toughness to you. You don't have to change it, but CSes like this remind me of 'Mary sue' like characters, all-powerful for the sake of being all-powerful.

I am writing an IC post for Sept 5th, and will include you in it. Please do not post before me.

[Sky Blue]

Now that I'm thinking about it, my play style doesn't really work with horror campaigns, so i may just spectate sorry.

[Estylwen]

Alright, thank you for your time.

[Lexisheeps]

@Sky Blue Thanks for your interest! Maybe next time. <3

[Estylwen]

New post is up! We have some exciting stuff happening. Remember to play your moves carefully, as death is a very possible and very real outcome.

Looking forward to your posts!

[Xandrya]

Posting today at last after my son takes his nap. Haven't had the time otherwise but I'm looking forward to it!

[Lexisheeps]

I plan to finish backreading tonight, and have a post up tomorrow! I'm not fully back yet, so thanks for your patience while I'm slow. Love what I've read so far! <3

[Squirrel98]

So two stuffed animals are aggressively coming towards Amanda and all doors are locked? It feels like she is doomed xD

[Lexisheeps]

@Squirrel98 Well, first off... Welcome to an @Estylwen GM'd RP!

Pain and death can be found in isle 12. There's always a shortage of character survival, but what we do have left, is over in isle 5. There's a discount today! 20 easy character deaths for the insanely low low price of 1 major plot twist. Sleep deprivation caused by plot twists are sold as is, and are non refundable. Consult your therapist before consuming.

Thank you for shopping at The Backrooms.

xD

[Estylwen]

@Squirrel98 Give it your best shot. :)

@Squirrel98 @Xandrya @Ocelot79 @Vertigo

Hey guys!

An Aggression Counter has been added to the IC Zeroth! 0 means the stuffed animals aren't nearly as bothered. 1 means you're fucked gonna be attracting more negative attention from them than normal. There are two ways the counter will cool down:

1) The first way is with time. Simply doing nothing but avoiding being attacked, eventually they'll get bored and go do something else.

2) The second way is by solving room puzzles. Games and puzzles make the stuffed animals happy!

3) There's also a super secret way to get them to calm down even faster, but you'll have to think childishly, if you want to figure it out!

Happy playing! <3

[Ocelot79]

Going to make a new post tomorrow

[Xandrya]

Still have writer's block. Aiming to get something out today or tomorrow!

[Vertigo]

Oh boy, oh boy, going to post this weekend still! Sorry for the wait on my part as well.

[Estylwen]

@Vertigo All good, take your time!
