The Legend of Gobbledygook

@Eventua *hugs* Totally understood! Muses suck sometimes. If you want, I'm totally available to brainstorm or create new settings or something that'd engage the bobblings more, or you could even reroll a character -- but only if you wanna. x3

In any case, I hope to see you around other RPs soon -- and if you ever wanna drop back in please do! :)

@Rabidporcupine cool but I can’t handle the pressure of playing a character to match your vision of what they should be like. XD I’ll try to get close but no guarantees you’ll agree with my version of the character. ;) (/disclaimer)

let's jam our plots together, no romance

WAIT WHAT?! NO ROMANCE?!

---

Listen, I'm ace af. I like a good close relationship, but absolutely DO NOT come to me with smut in mind. Absolutely 100% never no way get out end of story. I'm here for character development and because I really miss looking forward to writing with a partner.

SO WHAT DO I WANT, THEN?

---

Shit man, I just want some meaningful character interaction. To be engaged in a meaningful original plot, with a cast of meaningful characters who mean something good/bad/ridiculous to each other, where I can focus on developing characters and relationships. Because honestly, who even cares about any story without character relationships? I don't just mean romantic; I mean full-on hate, bickering, japes and hijinks, and especially personal character development.

An epic awesome plot doesn't hurt either. (I tend to inflate small foreshadowing into world-ending epic battles, personally)

SO WHAT ABOUT MY GENRES/PAIRINGS/FANDOMS THEN?

---

I'm 100% an original RPer.

.... ok, 90%.

Ok, look, I don't play fandoms. I used to write fic, it was cool for awhile, but right now I'm more into taking ideas from other things and molding them to my will. I'll directly and blatantly steal a character from a show or video game, change that character's name, shove them into a totally original setting and see how vastly different they turn out. I find this hilariously fun.

I used to play fantasy/medieval exclusively. Lately, though, my RPs have branched out to basically every weird genre: surreal sci-fi, carnival-punk, underwater clockwork, modern ghosts & aliens. The characters and the plot potential matter most to me. (Plot potential is key here. I tend to dislike historical RP simply because I feel like there's a limit on creative license. I don't like being stuck in something rigidly established.)

Just for a glimpse of mood, here's some stuff I'm kind of into right now -- though I will stress I don't want to RP in these fandoms, but may lift ideas from them given the chance: Detroit: Become Human, Phantom of the Opera, Pirates of the Caribbean, Trigun, MushiShi, Sherlock, Undertale, DBZ, Doctor Who.

Also, here is my art collection tumblr where I collect ideas for RPs and stories.

SO WHO AM I LOOKING FOR, THEN?

---

Somebody who's read this stuff and is thinking we might be on the same wavelength here. You know who you are. However, I feel I have a knack for knowing when a collaboration won't work out, and I'm not afraid to tell you. I'd rather let you know we're not a fit right away, so neither of us waste our time. I know my bad habits and the ways in which I frustrate other people -- I'll try to save you from that as well. If I end up telling you no thanks, please assume you've just dodged a bullet.

I'll RP over thread, PM, discord, or tumblr!

So just lemme know when you'd like mod interference, cuz you guys are killin it on your own. x3

The Fed Zone

10:49 am, Saturday
November 6th

A lively murmur of conversation accompanied the aroma of maple syrup, frying eggs, bacon and coffee. Dishes clinked, silverware clattered, the front door squeaked as patrons came and went. The yellows and oranges and warm browns of the interior -- the old diner's original, lovingly maintained design -- almost made the room seem sunny, even though the wide windows looked out upon a chill gray sky.

A waitress tacked another MISSING poster alongside the others on the cork board by the front door. The usual business cards and tear-off phone numbers and event flyers had of late been smothered by black-and-white portraits and detailed descriptions of places last seen -- except a few ads that only started appearing recently:

Make contact with passed loved ones, professional and discreet: 846-5317

UFO sighting party, Mill Creek Park, Nov 6, 10 pm -- free to attend

Protection charms, crafted and enchanted by the Green Sisters' Coven, available now at Ivy Arts on Brightwell

Town Hall meeting, Nov 8, 6 pm: Duskwick Sheriff Chang will give an update on ongoing missing persons investigations

A shiny blue dragonfly buzzed overhead. It lighted on the edge of the pie display -- but after a waitress waved a napkin at it, the insect flew out over the heads of the seated patrons. It landed gently on a hanging light.

The light flickered.
