Welcome to the guild, @uuahee.

The Dead Don't Die.

You know, we all missed this roleplay's first anniversary a few days ago. Surprised it lasted this long, given RPs on RPG tend to die in the first few weeks. It's on track to beat my most posted RP on this site too.

The Dead Don't Die.

Hurrying inside, it hadn't taken long for the three of them to get out of the way of the ongoing police scene outside the apartment complex. One of the officers had told them to stay safe, but frankly, Kali found it difficult to feel safe. People were attacking each other. Jeff—and Gladys' husband—were bitten by these crazed individuals, like the kid the police had arrested moments earlier. And that's not counting those same officers drawing their guns while they had all been standing right next to them.

All and all, Kali hadn't felt safe not one bit. But at least she was home now, albeit at her neighbor's apartment.

"Thank you, Gladys." Kali replied as Gladys pulled out her keys and let them into her apartment. Taking her neighbor's offer, Kali walked over to Gladys' pantry, and grabbed the package of cookies for the three of them to enjoy. Taking some of the cookies from the package for herself, Kali would then offer some to Isaac and Gladys before setting them down on a nearby table.

"Have you heard anything from Liana?" Kali asked, wondering if Gladys had heard from her roommate recently. "She said she'd be home late tonight, but with everything going on, I can't help but worry about her as well."

Single-player GM'ed game

Well, I thought 1x1 means two players and no GMs, both players with their own PC, mainly interacting with each other.

@third eye

I mean, yes. That is a type of 1x1 RP. But that isn't the only version of it. 1x1 is more or less just two people.

Single-player GM'ed game

I was a part of a long-lasting "single-player" tabletop campaign (albeit with me as the player), so I know what you're talking about. What you're asking is essentially a 1x1 tabletop campaign, which is... well, 1x1. You might have better luck posting this check there since the 1x1 section is definitely more popular than the tabletop section, but either would work, honestly.

As for interest, who knows. I haven't seen much people asking or playing this kind of campaign on here.

Starlight Cove: Oceanside Memories

MARINA LUPITA

<Snipped quote>

Marina Lupita, a 30-year-old veterinarian, grew up on the quiet, forested island of Starlit Cove but left to study on the mainland, pursuing her dream of following in her parents’ footsteps. Her parents, Marisol (54) and Jasy (59) Lupita, ran a small, beloved veterinary clinic on the island for many years, serving the local community with dedication and care. However, when Marisol’s health began to deteriorate and she required specialized medical treatment, the family was forced to sell the clinic and move inland.

For years, the clinic sat unsold, a victim of Starlit Cove’s struggling economy. Marina, driven by a fierce determination to preserve her parents’ legacy, scraped together her savings from years of frugal living and bought back the clinic. Her hope was to restore it to its former glory and ensure her mother received the care she needed. But Marina soon found herself fighting an uphill battle.

The island’s failing economy and dwindling population left her struggling to attract enough clients to keep the clinic running. Many of the locals, also facing financial hardship, could not afford regular veterinary care. To make ends meet, Marina took on specialty work on the side, using her skills to treat exotic or difficult cases, often traveling beyond the island. Long days and sleepless nights became routine as she poured her heart and soul into the clinic, refusing to let her parents’ dream fade away.

Amid the challenges, Marina finds moments of joy in her mischievous companion, Roach—a panda-colored ferret with a knack for stealing the spotlight. Roach is a frequent fixture in the clinic’s waiting room, where he brings levity to a sometimes somber atmosphere by attempting to swipe rubber-encased phones and wallets from unsuspecting clients. His antics often draw laughter, providing a small but much-needed boost to Marina’s weary spirit.

Despite the odds, Marina clings to her dream of keeping the clinic alive, both as a tribute to her parents’ hard work and as a testament to her own resilience. With her deep love for animals and unwavering determination, she continues to face each day with quiet strength, hoping that brighter times lie ahead for her and for Starlit Cove.@Carlyle I hope this is all good and correct :)

@Alleypup18

I think the CS is fine, even if it doesn't follow the format everyone else is using (given that I didn't even decide on a format to begin with, it just kind of became the thing).

Your image doesn't work, however. I suggest uploading it to imgur or a similar site so it can be viewable.

So can someone give me a summary before I start reading, so I know where I'm at?

@mickilennial

Yankee summed it up nicely. Not much has happened because of IRL conflicts, holidays and such.

The banners are excellent; thanks @Aeolian. My banners tend to be me just taking scenery or an alternate FC (when I have a character with some art, like how Sarah's FC is just Apex's Wattson), so it's much more than I usually do.

As for the RP, we'll be back to regularly scheduled programming soon. I'm largely over the flu and have my work leave situated, so unless I get any hassle I should be able to direct my full attention back to this and my other RPs.

Sorry about delayed responses btw everyone. Currently battling Flu A, apparently it was getting passed around at work (guessing from sick co-workers who couldn't afford to call out).

Calling All Heroes and Villains!

"I'll be back, Finley. Don't get yourself in trouble, please."

That had been several hours ago. Liam had left the shop to run some errands, and he had yet to return from whatever he had to do. Of course, Finley wasn't having it, and instead found herself quickly bored as she waited for him to return. She had attempted to keep herself busy, her hand on the remote that flipped through the channels on that magic picture box Liam had owned in his living room.

"Jerry! Jerry! Jerry!"

"Have you or your loved ones have been diagnosed with mesothelioma?"

"BREAKING NEWS: A ROBBERY IN PROGRESS IS TAKING PLACE AT NOVA CITY BANK!"

"Picture box no fun." Finley sighed, throwing the remote aside. Liam had said it was supposed to be enjoyable. That the magic picture box told interesting stories. Had Liam lied to her? He hadn't lied before. But that guy with the fire stick did. And that guy that had promised free ice cream. Liars were bad, she had come to learn. But Liam wasn't bad. He was nice to her. He even made certain she had a large supply of her favorite fish—salmon. So why would Liam lie to her?

Her brain was wracked as she tried to come up with a solution to her questions. Frustrated, Finley stood up from the couch and left to go for a walk. Maybe there was fun elsewhere. Like that ring toss game at the... uh, what was it? The arcade? Yeah. That had to be it.

After all, she was very good at ring toss. It got her many tickets. And tickets equaled candy. Candy was good, too.

And so, Finley set out for the arcade. It hadn't been a far walk, at least for someone of her stamina. Yet as she walked down the sidewalk, Finley couldn't help but to notice the absence of people on the city's streets. Normally, they were filled with pedestrians. But not today.

"Everyone gone?" She asked, confused.

The sound of nearby siren wailing and the flash of blue-red lights suddenly captured her attention. Following the lights and sounds, Finley found herself on the edge of a police blockade, wherein officers were preparing to storm the biggest bank in Nova City.

Finley ran to a nearby corner, peaking behind the brick edge of a building. Police were bad. Or were they good? Liam had explained that they were helpful. But he also wanted her to hide from them. Something about how her crashing at his house probably wouldn't go over well with them (or his landlord, but that was another story for another time).

Still, her interest was there. Looking beyond the blockade, Finley noticed a group of men surrounding the bank up ahead. They didn't look like police officers, and had black faces.

"Penguin?" Finley questioned, talking to herself.

The gas masks they had been wearing reminded her of the black facial structure of the penguins she once fed upon, at least from as far as she could make out. But where were their flippers? Their yellowed feet? These penguins were weird, and not like any penguins she had seen before.

Regardless, penguins were now stuck on her mind. She could feel her body changing in form, with her face shifting into a more seal-ish muzzle, and a large finned tail protruding from her behind. Her human hands turned webbed, and her height grew exponentially.

"PENGUIN!"

With a victory bark, the seal beast leaped out from the shadows, jumping over the police blockade to the shock of the officers that had been protecting it. Charging into the fray, she promptly tackled one of the armed guards, sending him flying through one of the outer windows of the bank with a defeaning crash. Glass shattered all over the floor as Finley jumped in after her hunted prey, unaware of the larger stake that had been happening inside the building.
