What Are You Listening To?

Left Behind: Mulberry Street

@Varshanka

I'm aware. I never finished Holly's section from the prior RP—and still haven't got around to finishing it in this rendition.

Left Behind: Mulberry Street

@half pint@heretic@astro@yankee@ayden123plat

This is a check-in for those who had expressed interest but still haven't submitted sheets.

<Snipped quote by Kuro>

I get that haha, I guess I was thinking about it more in the sense of a player and GM's perspective rather than a story one. It would essentially end up with a player (me in this case) leaving the RP. So that's what I was more wondering about, whether you minded having a short-term/temporary player versus taking a more committed long-term player instead. If I'm explaining myself correctly

@Yankee

I don't have an issue with that.

@Force and Fury

Feel free to post in the IC.

@Varshanka

I am waiting for Micki to get back to me about what she thinks about your sheet. Personally, the main issues I see are:

A) The military angle is overlapping with already established characters (that being Gunther's family and Grayson from Theyra's). I can see potential in an influx of military-trained individuals defeating the survivalist aspect of the roleplay.

B) The sheet feels "trauma-dumpy", if that's the correct way to phrase it. I don't have an issue with the PTSD angle, but it feels like that the angle is being used as a stepping stone to include traumatic event after traumatic event in the CS.

I know I'm not approved yet, but what time is it? Springs, Summer, Fall, Winter? Month? How long ago did it start? two weeks? two months?

@Varshanka

Modern day spring two weeks after. This is stated in both the IC/OOC.

@Kuro I'm still considering. As I was conceptualizing, I kind of realized that for the possible story I'd want to tell with my hypothetical family, it might not fit well in an RP environment for the long term. But hey, what do you think about someone applying with the intent to...

spoilers?

kill off or have their family/characters leave the street from the get go? Not exactly planning to "drop" the RP explicitly but just move the characters on as part of the narrative, especially for the other characters remaining?

@Yankee

It's a zombie apocalypse RP. People will inevitably die.

Holly knelt in front of the kitchen cabinets, turning the corner cabinet turnstile around and around in dismay. By now, Morgan had wandered off to the open concept's living room, clearly more interested in playing with her plastic tea set than bothering Holly with questions as to what she was doing. Holly preferred it that way; she didn't want to Morgan to know that the family was almost down to scraps. Whether or not Morgan actually knew what that meant was another question, but Holly felt it was better if her tiny, little head wasn't worried about such things. Like everything else that had happened in the last few weeks, it wasn't fair to her. Then again, it hadn't been exactly fair to any of them in the first place.

She sighed, cursing herself for not going shopping just prior to the fallout. At least with pancakes it was just a case of mix and water, but sooner than later they'd be hard pressed to cook anything else.

Maybe Lee's mom can spare something...

Holly dwindled on the idea. She didn't wish to put more pressure on their next door neighbors, given the circumstances. Asking for food meant more mouths to feed, and it wasn't exactly like they could freely visit a store right now. Yet on the other hand, the two families had always been there for each other throughout the thick and thin. If there was one family or person she could have faith in to help her out, it would be the Graves.

Pushing herself back up to her feet, Holly closed the cabinet and approached the front door. She gripped the handle, hesitant to twist it. Ever since the apocalypse had started, Holly hadn't ventured long outside. One wrong step and you were zombie chow, being ripped apart by your former neighbors. Who knew what lurked outside that very door? The very thought of it made Holly shudder in cautionary fear.

She shot a momentary glance towards the umbrella stand beside the door. Playing it safe was wise, Holly felt, as she grabbed an umbrella from the stand. It might've not been the best weapon to defend herself, but the pointy end could at least fend the hungry undead away from her, not unlike a spear.

"Morgan, sweetie," Holly spoke, her grip on the umbrella tightening. "I'll be right back. Stay inside and keep an eye on dad, okay?"

"'kay!" Morgan responded, more focused on her make-believe tea party than anything else.

It hadn't been an answer Holly was satisfied with, but she knew she couldn't expect much more from a five year old. Taking a deep breath as she opened the front door, Holly hoped Morgan would be okay by herself, if only for a few minutes. Surely tea parties had to be more interesting than wandering off on her own and getting into trouble—they had to be.

Ignore this, using this for GM notes:

waiting on sheets:

- half pint
- heretic
- astro
- yankee
- ayden123plat

under gm review:

- force and fury
- varshanka

still needs posted in cs tab:

- vertigo

Left Behind: Mulberry Street

@Heretic There are a couple people who have expressed interest yet haven't submitted any kind of sheet, so I would say there is still space right now. I'm probably going to cap the # of people to 10 or so once a more solid group is formed, however.

How high can we count before a mod gets involved?
