STARLIGHT IS CURRENTLY NOT ACCEPTING NEW APPLICATIONS, SORRY FOR ANY INCONVENIENCES!
{Introductions}
Welcome to Starlight's OOC, my name is June and I'll be your 'GM' for this story! Official title aside though I'm really just here to set the scene and any answer questions you may have... but, before I start I'd like to say thank you all so, so much for showing interest in this story! I was worried that no one would have any interest given it doesn't have any big supernatural or secret twists involved like a lot of the stories on here, but you've all shown up just the same, and I'm glad for that, so let's get started!
{Story Starter}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Finals week definitely took its toll, but after resting and lazily packing up your things to leave the dorms you finally found the time to say some heartfelt goodbyes. It was hard, but you'd see your friends again; 'Summer will be over before you know it' a few had reassured you bittersweetly. Even after all that, it was still the trip home that drew the school year to a close in your mind. Watching helplessly as familiar things passed by and old memories resurfaced, slowly summarizing a year in your life gone by, measured by the pleasures you'd had and challenges you'd faced, each made small with distracted remembrance. You arrive late at night and go straight to sleep, the next day passing slowly as you laze about your home, visiting only briefly with various childhood friends and family before growing bored of a life you'd been away from that seemed to stagnate in your absence, even though you keep telling yourself you really needed to catch up on things. Many people in your place would continue like this for a long time, refusing to unpack or in any way reestablish themselves in space and time. The lucidity of their situation leaving them feeling false and at a loss, reaching out and secretly waiting for things to return to their everyday pattern which had been all too quickly taken from them.
This is how every summer has passed, and the next few are likely to transpire, but this summer something changes. It's early in the morning, and you receive a message from a friend....
{The Basics}
--------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
As many of you know the message is an invitation to a very expensive lakeside cabin off in the woods far from society (though fully stocked and well kept), and the original message was bounced around quite a bit so some of the people here don't actually know the cabins owner; Diana "Dai/Dye" Monroe (played by myself!).
The RP starts with each of your characters receiving a message from a friend, a few of you, maybe three or four, will know Dai directly, and the rest will be invited from those people or even by people those people invited (... which is less confusing than it sounds). After we get the CS's set up and accepted I'm going to try and match people into a bit of an 'invitation grid' based on whom I think are the most likely to have been friends ahead of time, and then from there, you guys can figure out amongst yourselves some general background info before we get started. If you have any preferences as to whom your character is 'paired' with, please send me a PM! Be it because you are actually close friends with that person, or you literally want to be 'paired' with them *audible winking*, but for the latter I'll need both of you to confirm this with me individually (or in a shared PM). I'd much prefer that everyone show up as a singular character though, but such is life.
You get the message, you take a train to a small town named Alice, and you take a complimentary taxi ride from the station to the cabin (the Starlight Lakehouse).
The Rules are SUPER simple; *Dusts off the D&D second edition guide*
I understand that with RL, things happen that really prevent us from RPing, but I urge you only to apply if in the foreseeable future you know for sure you can stay with us. If something does come up (like you are in a plane hurtling towards the Earth), I would greatly appreciate a quick PM explaining the situation to me and giving me permission to write your character out of our story. However, you can also have another active (and accepted) player write in your stead during your absence or indefinitely, you will need their permission and I will need confirmation from both of you, preferably in a shared PM.

The Rules are SUPER simple; *Dusts off the D&D second edition guide*
- Be kind and respectful to other players.
- Please keep any/all rated intimate content in PM's but alluded to in the actual RP so others know.
- Keep 'Speed Posting' to an absolute minimum, but don't be afraid to have brief conversations.
- Do NOT apply unless you intend to stay for the duration of the story.
- Please, please, please use relatively good grammar / spelling / punctuation etc. as well as full sentences.
- There is a 1-Paragraph minimum to each post, but I would like at least two if possible, the maximum around four or five if you're especially wordy.
I understand that with RL, things happen that really prevent us from RPing, but I urge you only to apply if in the foreseeable future you know for sure you can stay with us. If something does come up (like you are in a plane hurtling towards the Earth), I would greatly appreciate a quick PM explaining the situation to me and giving me permission to write your character out of our story.
