Interest! How many people are you aiming for for this roleplay?

Agreed. Let's hope the reboot goes a bit more smoothly.

Cabaret Roleplay

Liane Jasmine Sambucus

Liane Jasmine Sambucus, 23, female

Role: Waitress, singer, dancer
Skillset: Dancing (swing, jazz, latin, feather fans), singing, comedy, seduction

History: Liane grew up dancing, grew up singing. She loved the wilder, sensual songs and dances, her parents less so. They more than nudged her to pursue a more restrained, respectable career, but to Liane, nothing was to stop her from pursuing that very special thrill she could only get when she let herself be consumed by the dance. This, inevitably, led to some conflicts between her and her parents, especially as she started dating. After a brief stint at a dance school, mostly to placate her parents, she discovered cabaret. This, Liane realised, was exactly what she had been looking for from the very beginning. She promptly dropped out of school and ran off to pursue her dreams.

Personality: If there's one thing Liane wants, it's romance. Be it a serious, long-term relationship, a fling, a one-night-stand or anything in between, Liane will not hold back if she wants to have any of these with someone else. She's naturally flirtatious and not all that serious, but she will be serious if she feels like the situation calls for it. As such, she does her best on stage, but her main concern is having fun during the performance, and she loves, loves, loves to flirt with the audience. Above all, Liane is a hedonist, but she takes care not to hurt others in the process.

Nikolai Corrick

Nikolai "Niko" Corrick, 26, male

Role: Dancer, waiter, acrobat
Skillset: Dancing (contemporary, pole, tap), acrobatics, seduction (off-stage)

History: Nikolai grew up a performer. From his otherwise normal childhood to now, he has danced, swung from ropes, bars, poles and fallen flat on his face. Practicing almost all the time he had, school did get pushed to the side, and when he finished his compulsory education, Niko was off and away to perform in front of a real, paying audience. He bounced around a couple of places before finding cabaret - Niko was sold from day one, in love with the ability to make the show "his" for once.

Personality: For Nikolai, everything he does on stage in front of an audience must be good - perfect, even. As such, he's very serious on stage, but he also enjoys it immensely. He's usually in a good mood if he's not practicing. Off-stage, Niko lives for his friends, new as well as old, and knows how to turn up the charm. He's very loyal and protective to his closest friends. He is rarely alone, but if he is, chances are he's either practicing or listening to music.

Also, just checking in - I'm here, just a bit busy for the time being.

Cabaret Roleplay

I was thinking I might make a performer duo or something like that. Could be great fun.

Yes please! This sounds like a ton of fun.

Monica's soft laugh did wonders. Little by little, the tension and nervousness Rebecca had felt coming into this situation melted away. As they walked in relative silence, Rebecca took a moment to appreciate how natural the silence seemed. She considered breaking it once or twice, but decided against it when she saw that Monica appeared relaxed - or at least as relaxed as one could expect to be in a situation like this, both on the small and larger scale.

Rebecca took a moment to think about just that - this situation. It was actually remarkable how well everyone had adapted to being here. Sure, sometimes people got into fights, or accidents happened, but all in all, the Home was actually a far better place to live than where most of its residents had come from. Of course, that's provided you ignore the whole no-escape-and-possible-looming-doom aspect, but then again - not much could be done to change that, right? Rebecca had sometimes walked to the forcefield to watch it. It distorted reality in much the same way the hot air above a fire did. Of course, Rebecca had never tried to touch it, but she had to admit she'd felt compelled to once or twice. It was mesmerizing to watch, and some, like Rebecca, might even felt drawn to it.
I wonder if any of us will ever be free of this place. she thought. I wonder if it's even possible to get out once you're in. Can Dawson even leave freely? she wondered. What does she even do aside from watching us? And why is it it seems she's always watching, no matter what? Does she not need sleep? Food? Sunlight? Rebecca looked down her own pale arms. Maybe she should fetch some sunscreen... She did burn awfully easy - in that regard, she was grateful her work was done indoors.

Almost like she'd somehow heard Rebecca, Dawson's voice cut through the silence. A day off... Neat. Rebecca looked up and noticed they had arrived at the lake. That gives me - us - the whole day! she thought excitedly. She turned to face Monica as she asked if she had a bikini. "Well, yes, but it's not here..." Rebecca said, feigning turning out her non-existent pockets. "I should really get some sunscreen, too... I burn in, what, five minutes?" She laughed. "What about you? Do you have one? Or do you need to go get it first?"

Lurking. Also I've been sick. I'm doing better now, though. I'll post within the next few hours if all goes according to plan.
