It's Operation: Masquerade

Yes please. I love the concept of this.

Right?! Everyone else is missing out!

And, uh...could I have that back?

@Karl Kadaver

I seriously don't get why more people don't like it. It's so delicious!

And fine... *gives back the licorice*

@Karl Kadaver *swoops in and steals the licorice*

Black licorice is the best candy around. Just sayin'.

<Snipped quote by Adamina>

Hehe, what color! I want to see when its done though! ^~^

@Madame Kitten

A matte grey-ish blue! I'm not sure yet if I'll do all the walls or if I should paint a few of them white, else it might get too dark... But I'll decide on that in the process! It's a lot of work though!

*collapses from exhaustion*

@Madame Kitten I'm about to go continue clearing out my room so I can get it painted tomorrow! I've been wanting to paint my room for ages, I'm so excited!

Well... Maybe it would be best to evacuate, then? Rebecca thought. She looked around to see what everyone else was doing. The stretchy girl was, well, stretching under a locked door. She looked over to the trickling fountain, which soon stopped its flow. The animated girl was mopping, although she didn't seem all that comfortable in the situation. "I'll go look in the back to see if anyone's in there..." Rebecca muttered. She went off, stopping once in a while to pick up the odd weight that had fallen in the chaos, lowering its density and putting it back with ease. There were also a couple weights that hadn't fallen in the chaos, but had simply been left by people too lazy to clean up after themselves. She put those back, too.

She finished making her rounds, finding no one in the back. She walked back into the front room, which seemed to be the most roughed up. The round had barely taken 2 minutes, and not much had changed. "All right... Let's go, people!" she called cautiously. "Unless we really have missed an invisible guy, no one's in the back, and this mess can wait until we get everything else taken care of... So let's just get out of here." Rebecca said, looking around at the others and slowly making her way to the exit, deciding not to leave until everyone else had cleared out.

@Vocab, I'll join you in the box. Provided of course I still get some delicious brownie/cookie goodness.

The Mansion of Gluttony: A Survival Horror Roleplay

Sylvia Hunter Taft

Name: Sylvia Hunter Taft Gender: Female Age: 22

Appearance

Standing at 5'9", Sylvia's a bit taller than most women, but not outrageously so. She's of a normal build, weighing in at 130 pounds. Although pretty, living on nothing for years has taken its toll, and though she's getting better, her skin is slightly gray, her hair dull, and her face still bears some markers of too little sleep and too much worry.
She has a tattoo on the side of her left foot which she got at 18. It says Thomas - the name of her high school sweetheart. She tries not to display it, as things didn't exactly work out all that well.

Occupation: Before the mansion, a minimum-wage employee at Target.
Astrological sign: Libra
When did you arrive?: Sylvia arrived as number 7.

Personality
Sylvia Hunter Taft - average cheerleader type - pretty, popular, and a real people-pleaser. In many ways, Sylvia lives up to her sign - hopeless romantic, hates conflict, easily distracted... Where was I?
Sylvia, above all else, strives for pleasure, fun, and being on good terms with everyone. She's quick to fall in love, and tries her very best to make sure everyone around her is comfortable. This also means bad moods affect her easily, and concerns about others can sometimes outshadow her own. Due to her diplomatic nature, she's pretty easy to get along with, although she does have some subjects she is fiercely passionate about and will not back down from defending - beware the wrath of a gentle woman scorned, as the saying (almost) goes. Other than that, whatever she pleases at the time is likely what she'll be doing - she likes to indulge in good food, luxurious clothes and long, soapy warm baths.

History
Sylvia's always gone about life with a pretty careless, day-to-day view, never looking more than a month into the future. When it came time to decide on college, Sylvia didn't really know what she wanted to do, but people... People were interesting, so she reluctantly settled on psychology, egged on by friends and family eager to see her set long-term goals for herself. Her expectations ended up not quite lining up with reality, and coupled with a new, exciting social scene and a partner, her grades took a nose-dive half way through the second semester, and by the time she tried turning it around, it was far too late. Now, she was out of school, out of a job, half a country away from home and weighed down by student loans and the odd debt here and there.

Faced with few options, Sylvia got a job as a barista - part time, minimum wage, crappy living conditions. She didn't quite tell her parents the whole truth, claiming to have dropped out intentionally to pursue art. Well, latte art. Shortly after her 20th birthday, Sylvia moved, fed up of it all. The move didn't come cheap, though, and her new location offered nothing but minimum wage either. Coupled with a broken leg a year in, a hefty hospital bill - Sylvia, of course, being uninsured - and missing time from work, she found herself helplessly stuck in debt, maxing out credit cards in desperation for a few months after the accident, interest compounding the issue and sending her spiraling into a black hole of loan payments and tiny paychecks.

As so, when another year had passed, she had made very, very little progress. Soon thereafter, Sylvia Taft disappeared, leaving behind a few distant friends, parents who knew nothing of her situation, a dead-end job and a towering pile of debt. This, of course, was nothing Sylvia was eager to return to, especially knowing it would only get worse with time unless she was declared dead... At which point, of course, she'd have to own up to both the debt, her parents, and all of her past mistakes. She quickly acclimatised to life inside the mansion, spending her days with the people, with music, and with art.

Miscellaneous: Sylvia managed to accomplish a few things in her life before the mansion. She sometimes painted, using boyfriends, lovers or somewhere-inbetweeners as her models. That was mostly before the debt, though, and she has shifted away from painting others to painting scenery and herself.

Relationships: TBA once there are more characters.

Aaah, so excited! Glad to see the OOC up. I'll get to work on a CS as soon as possible, but in the meantime can I reserve Libra for my sign?
