Good evening! I’m brand new here. I’m a 33 year old woman and I roleplay primarily over email, with Discord for OOC chat. I generally write 1-5 paragraphs per post and reply daily, but can write much more.
I have an idea I’ve wanted to do for ages, involving themes of faith and loss of faith, political radicalism, trauma, moral injury, self-imposed exile, alienation, and running from your past. It requires my partner to play a Catholic priest. I would like someone who is comfortable with characters who are 40ish.
We can do it as gen, or it can have M/M romance. I am willing to write adult scenes if my partner is an adult. I think this would be fun as a taboo romance — something that starts as a sweet transgressive gay romance, and builds to the conflict I describe.
The premise:
It is 2009, in an American city. Your character is newly assigned to a parish that also runs a domestic violence shelter. My character is the cafeteria manager there, and has been for ten years. Shortly after the priest’s arrival, one of the resident’s ex-husband’s attacks her in the shelter parking lot; my character intervenes, but kills the man in the process.
The killing was certainly justifiable homicide, but the cafeteria manager has an… odd reaction. He doesn’t seem very troubled that he killed a man. He seems panicked that the police are going to want to speak with him further. Eventually, backed into a corner, he admits everything to the priest: he’s not who he says he is. He’s killed before.
If this appeals, please drop me a line here, or on Discord at spooky_spaghetties. There are more details, but I’d like to discuss them privately.
