Starlight Cove: Oceanside Memories

Might make a secondary character for this, not sure yet.

Luna's preference for tea is a Long Island Iced Tea. :)

@mickilennial

I thought her preference for tea was spicy drama.

@RavenClawz666 It sounds like you're looking for the 1x1 interest checks section. This category isn't for a "looking for roleplay" board like the one I linked above.

It seemed the woman was alright, albeit shaken. One of the teenagers went to check on the woman, and began to sign to her. Well, shit. Kali felt awful—she had no idea the woman had been deaf. Here she had been, all up in her face in worry without the woman being able to understand a single word Kali said. A part of Kali wished she had paid attention in school, barely remembering how to sign her own name from the short ASL course they had one day. Perhaps then she'd be able to apologize, and even on the chance she never saw the woman again, it'd at least be good to know later on if Kali ever ran into anyone else who had been deaf.

As the awkwardness died down, however, the scene suddenly broke into full-on panic. Another one of her neighbors, a teenager like the other two, had come seemingly out of nowhere, and tackled one of the kids to the ground. Staring in disbelief, the events at the restaurant replayed in Kali's thoughts as Isaac jumped to the teenager's aid in response, proceeding to wrestle the other off him.

People were going to get hurt—one of them very much already was by the wound on his shoulder. But what were they supposed to do? Restrain him? Good luck with that! It took two of her co-workers just to lock up the co-worker that attacked Jeff, and even then they had a giant freezer to lock him up in! Were they supposed to hogtie the teenager with their belts or something?

Biting her lip, Kali soon found her questions answered by the arrival of an ambulance. Unfortunately for her, however, they seemed just as lost as she had been. It was good to know that her tax dollars were being put to work in hiring "quality candidates" for the emergency services, Kali sarcastically thought as the man froze up before them.

"Snap out of it!" Kali yelled, turning to face the wide-eyed paramedic, "You're the professional here; do something!"

I've been working all day and I am tired. I'm going to bed when I get home. Early.

@mickilennial

Jokes aside, I'll be waiting for your post(s) whenever they're up.

yoo

Welcome to the guild, @Katty. There were a few MLP rpers on the guild some years ago, but I don't know if any are still around on here.

@mickilennial

but if you're the bestest where are my posts then

Starlight Cove: Oceanside Memories

@Theyra Despite the overlap with my character, you can consider yourself approved.

@Cyrania An accountant is an interesting choice for this style of RP. Not many people would pick that for a character. The sehnsucht route works with being an outsider as well. That being said, I was more intending for this roleplay to focus on those native to the island, so (and for anyone else reading this, especially newcomers), I'm drawing the line at newcomers/outsiders from this point onward.

Not sure if you tried to emulate the coding everyone else was using, though. Seems a bit rough, IMO.

@mickilennial If you think you can handle a second character, feel free to post Luna in the CS tab.

@Mistress Dizzy I would prefer that things are "dressed up" to keep in line with the other posts, but I know some people are turned away by graphics and aesthetic so it isn't exactly mandatory. Thankfully, we have some resident "graphic artists" (*cough* Lemons and Yankee *cough*) that can help out with things.

At most a week, if possible. This roleplay is centered around a small, tight-knit community so I don't want things to come to a standstill if someone takes too long to post. Granted, this depends on the storyline/plot points in the current scene. Some might move faster than others and vice versa. But the general line of "hey, I need a post" is about once a week or so. Doesn't have to be long, but I'd need some kind of substance.

There really wasn't a template for the profile, but since everyone just copied Micki's, I'd just use that if you want.

It was the dawn of a new day. Nary a mouse stirred to interrupt the calming atmosphere of the new sunrise as it rose from the east.

Emma stood before the concrete, rock-lined dock wall that jutted out into the sea. A steaming cup of rosemary tea—her drink of choice, as always—was gripped tightly between her hands as she gazed far into the vast oceanic blue. Sometimes, she wondered, what it would be like to be a fish swimming out there. Did they worry as much as she did? Or were such things trivial and inconsequential to something that experienced the freedom of the sea?

"They always seem to swim upstream," Emma uttered. Sipping her tea, she sighed. "If only I could grow gills and a pair of fins."

Turning her back on the ocean she so dearly beloved, Emma walked up a series of steps and back into the Starlight Aquarium. Her heart hung heavy at newfound signs of age Emma spotted as she scurried the halls; more damage that she hadn't the money to afford repair or replacement. Still, she had to soldier on. Within the very halls she walked so many times in the past were living creatures—precious life that depended on her for their survival.

But had it have to be her? Were the animals at the Starlight Aquarium truly living their best lives?

Opening the door the aquarium's offices, Emma sat the teacup down on an empty desk. A piece of her wanted to give in, Emma knew, as she looked over towards the other desks. All of them were empty, just as hers was. No longer were they filled with the hustle-and-bustle of fellow caretakers and people she could call friend. She was alone, left to brood over the burden now placed on her shoulders.

A burden that was now compounded by the upcoming Starlight Festival; the Cove's annual event to announce the arrival of Spring. What Emma planned to do for it, however, was still up in the air.

Taking a seat in her worn, faux leather chair, Emma turned on her laptop in the pursuit of research. She desperately needed to make this year a success. Even if she was alone, and only the worse seemed to come, Emma still had to give it her all. She couldn't let the reality of the situation crush her treasured dreams.

Of course, they were bound to be crushed anyway. But if she did what she could, then that was all that mattered to Emma.

As I said before, I figured it was best to wait until the timeskip to jump back in with Suzy. Didn't want to jump into a scene that suddenly was void because we timeskipped.
