[OOC] Cabin in the woods

[Princess Mizuki]

NO LONGER ACCEPTING

A letter arrives in your mailbox one day with no return address. The note inside reads:
Dear (insert name),
You are cordially invited to join myself and a small group of other individuals, much like yourself, for a short vacation in my cabin hidden away in the woods of southeast Missouri. Please bring 5 days worth of clothing, your swimwear (if you'd like), and anything else you might want or need for the stay.
If you agree to come (which would be in your best interest (Insert taunting tidbit here)) please be at the Cape Girardeau Reginal airport between 10 am and 3 pm two Fridays from now.
Signed Mr. X

Mr. X

He is the NPC host of this little get together, and he will do anything to bring these secrets to lite. Everyone plays him. When he leaves your character a letter YOU write the letter. If he leaves your character a surprise (Which will usually have a note with it) then you determine the surprise. His notes and letters are always typed, but over time he may start leaving clues to who he is as the secrets start coming out.

The Cabin

It is a 2 story, 5 bedroom, 2 and a half bath log cabin. The first floor holds the kitchen, dining room, living room, mudroom, and half bath. The second floor is the 5 bedrooms, 2 bathrooms, second level of the library, and study. Does the windowless end of the second floor hall end before it reaches the outside wall?

The woods

In the woods around the cabin there is lots of wild game for those who like to hunt, a fishing hole, a swimming pond, and plenty of hiking trails.

The Guests

They are a group of 4 or 5 individuals with life changing, criminal, and possibly even deadly secrets in their pasts.

Each secret is somehow connected with Mr. X. For example: my character unwittingly helped her sister con several rich people out of millions of dollars, and Mr. X was one of those people.

[Princess Mizuki]

Name: Saria Mathews (ever since she was 10)
Alias: Mara Lewis (real name from age 5 until 10), Emily Sultan, and others
Age: 18
Gender: Female
Bio: Saria is the youngest of two girls. They were born to an abusive and wealthy father and an immigrant mother. She and her sister ran away from home when she was only five. When they crossed the state line and reached a town where no one knew them her sister, who was 16 at the time, but looked 18, got their names changed to Mara and Elizabeth Lewis. Her sister got her GED and got Mara enrolled in school. They stayed in the town for about 4 years, during which her sister had conned the locals out of several hundreds of dollars, but Saria had thought she was working to earn the money. After they moved to a new city her sister set her sights on larger marks that would earn her more money, but to do so she would need help so she got Mara started on answering the phone, accepting money transfers, and so on. After a while she started disguising Mara as older women and giving her bigger parts in the con. If she had known what they were doing was illegal Mara would have never agreed to help, but her sister kept making what they were doing sound like a good thing. She helped her sister run the cons from just after her ninth birthday until just before her 11th. It was after their biggest score that she realized what they were doing was illegal, and refused to have anything else to do with it or the money earned from the cons. Her sister helped find the Mathews family to finish raising Mara, and she even paid for her name to be changed to Saria Mathews to distance her from the cons even more. 6 years after they separated Saria was told that her sister had been killed in prison after being arrested for her cons. As it turned out the mark that had given them the biggest payout, Mr. X, had found out who Elizabeth was and had her killed. He had also realized that at the time Saria hadn't known what she was doing was wrong, and he hadn't been able to find her...until now.
Secret: She unwittingly helped her sister con several rich people out of millions of dollars

Appearance

Name: Lucia Estuert
Alias: "Lucy"
Age: 20
Gender: Female
Personality: Lucy appears to be a shy young lady with a strong heart that wants the best for herself and the people around her. Although, slightly egotistical, Lucy tries hard to be a humble human being. Sometimes, her feminine (catty) mean streak gets in the way, however.
Bio: Lucy is the youngest of two children, both born to Michael and Sofia Estuert. Lucy and her brother, James, were always very nice to each other growing up. Their parents made sure of it. Lucy was the younger of the two, and in a way, she looked at James as a mentor, a father-figure. She loved her brother to death. However, when James became a high schooler, he distanced himself from her. She ignored the shunning and assumed he was just going through a "phase." When Lucy finally made it to high school, during James' senior year, she found out he had been doing drugs the whole time. This disappointed her. Of course, the drama did not stop at her brother self-medicating himself with illegal narcotics. . . Lucy decided to give them a try. Of course, her brother, being an over protective sibling, forbid her from doing drugs. Desperate to be like her older brother, jealous that he could be so rebellious and still so much loved the family and her, she went into prostitution to be able to afford these drugs. Her first client, despite all mathematical odds, was her Geometry teacher, a friend of Mr. X. She disliked the idea of being his little Dolores Haze, with his being so old. . . so, big eared and big handed. . . She grossed herself out, but the cash was good. However, she decided after her first "gig" to drop the rebel act and be the good little girl she was meant to be. What had she been thinking, trying to be a drug addict? Was she so crazy as to want to be just like her brother this entire time? . . . She kept this a secret, a secret between her pimp, client, and herself. She prayed no one else would ever know. . . She prayed that she could just get her virginity back. . . And hopefully God would forgive her. He is All-Merciful, right?
Secret: Prostituted herself to one of Mr. X's friends.

[Edited, I hope this storyline works better.]

Ooooh, I must have read wrong; maybe I should drop; unless I think of something before the IC starts. I will work on that today. Do, please, forgive me for the inconvenience.

Noooo don't drop. Maybe if it's just a connection to Mr. X, you could say your brother is his apprentice or something. I don't know haha, it didn't really say what kind of connection anyway.

Hey Harley! Come join in!

[Harlequin Girl]

Name:
Charlie E. Jameson

Alias:
N/A

Age:
Twenty Two

Gender:
Female

Personality:
TBR

Bio:
Charlie grew up as an only child in a single parent home. Due to her mother always being at work, she found ways to amuse herself. The brunette also had to learn to care for herself since her mother couldn't afford a babysitter nor bring her with her to her place of employment. Charlie never complained, always one to shy away from any type of social interaction. Charlie finally broke out of her shell when she went to high school, making the most out of those four years while her mother fell into a bad drug addiction. Charlie tolerated her the best that she could but soon found herself hating her mother, which caused her to move out, her mother continuing to make empty promises of changing for the better.

Charlie focused on college next, hoping to start over and not bring her past with her. She was a Physics major who had finally stepped out of her shell completely. She was in her last year of schooling and had even landed a job at a major firm in town. Life was perfect. But, alas, fate had something else in store for her.

Secret:
Charlie is just as much the one to blame when it comes to the death of Mr. X's daughter. Charlie had been babysitting her a friend's son the day that the infamous robbery occurred, not really paying too much attention to him as he befriended a small little girl. Charlie remembers being asked by a middle aged woman to watch her daughter, which she agreed to due to the girl playing with the boy she was in charge of. But she soon received a phone call that took all of her attention, a job offer at a firm downtown, on the biggest actually. If only she would have kept an eye on the two like she had had said. The two children were playing tag, the boy was "it", and in an attempt to not get tagged, Mr. X's daughter ran into the street, not aware of the runaway car approaching her. Charlie couldn't deal with the guilt when she learned that the young girl died, never making an attempt to learn more about her or even contact her family. She was just far too ashamed, after all, if she would've been watching her the young boy like a responsible adult would have, maybe none of it would have happened. The tragedy replays in her mind nearly every night.



First and foremost, hey Cap'n! Sorry I kind of, erm, piggybacked off of your idea but I couldn't help but wonder why the daughter got hit in the first place. So, yeah, if you want me to change it, let me know, I totally don't mind!

GM, I hope this CS is suitable enough. I'm quite pooped and working on my phone this evening. Let me know if I need to tinker anything.
