There's a panhandler who hangs out on the street corner by our dispensary every afternoon with a sign that just says "Green 4 Green?" and tbh, I respect my boy's confidence.

Bio

Personal Profile

Name: Taylor
Pronouns: They/them
Age: Mid 20s
Relationship: Married (happily, I might add)
Time Zone: Arizona (we hate daylight savings, so it's MST year-round)
Writing History: I've been on a number of different roleplaying websites for over a decade and a half
Hobbies: Writing, fitness, driving/exploring, hiking, camping, traveling, tabletop games, anything NEW (I love trying things I've never done before)
Roleplayer Profile

Format: 1x1s only. Maybe I'll try a group RP again someday, but I've never had one last longer than a few months
Posting Speed: Depending on my schedule, I can usually post at least once per week
Favorite Genres: Modern, Historical, Romance, Action/Adventure, Horror/Dark, Fantasy, Slice of Life, Dystopian, can be convinced to write some Sci-Fi
Hard 'no's: Fandoms. Sorry, but I can't maintain interest in characters/worlds I didn't build with my partner
Template: Public threads or PMs. I prefer to keep all my RPs in one place, so no emails or G-docs or the like
Rating: Comfortable with 18+ content, but it's not a necessity and I prefer not to center a plot around explicit scenes
Level: Advanced. Will consistently provide around 400-700 words per post, but can occasionally leap to 2000+
Character preference: One main character, but large side casts are greatly enjoyed. Because I write long posts, I prefer not to double
Gender preference: Male. You'll be hard pressed to convince me to play a female that isn't a background character. It's just not my forte
Romantic Relationships: MxF or MxM (currently prefer MxM)
Character Images: Faceclaims or detailed descriptions only. I envision the characters like real people in my mind, so I can't take anime seriously
OOC chat: Yes please! I'm a total extrovert who loves to get to know the amazing minds behind my partners' characters

Okay! How hot is it that your laptop overheated? I've never had that happen before, even when I was living in Phoenix
Yeah, I walk Kai through the neighborhood all the time, so I'm excited to live there cx It's super pretty! Lots of trees and flowers and wildlife.

Okay! Can't wait ^^
Okay cool! I just finished reading through our posts this morning. No rush on getting a reply up! :)
Yeah I spent most of today packing, so I'm making progress though! Got most of our kitchen stuff moved over to the new place as well as most of our board and card game sets :) I'm planning to pack all our winter clothes and maybe move a couple pieces of furniture tomorrow and/or Wednesday!

I both love and hate having so many RPs at once, so it has it's pros and cons haha

I'm very excited! I've been waiting for this for a long time, and I can't wait to live in this new neighborhood. It's my favorite in the city! In our budget, of course lol The multi-million dollar neighborhoods are insanely gorgeous, but I only get to visit when I'm invited by our rich friends xD
“I don’t think so,” Cas sighed as they discussed his father’s paranoia. “He’s always been like this. Everyone is an enemy until proven otherwise. That’s why he’s so concerned that I don’t agree with him, because if he was right, it would mean that I was siding with someone who wants to dismantle the monarchy. Everything he and our ancestors built would be at risk of falling. The problem is that he’s not right, and he’s going to extreme lengths to hold onto his conviction that I’m the one in the wrong.” He frowned. “The psychiatrist was the one who diagnosed me with Stockholm Syndrome, but I’m pretty sure she only did it because he’s paying her a small fortune to keep ‘treating’ me. Between the two of them, I don’t stand a chance of proving that there’s nothing wrong with me.”

When they pulled up to the hotel and Iris inquired about it, Cas shook his head. “It’s expensive, but it’s the closest resort to the border of the capital. I picked it so we can make a quick getaway if we need to.” He still didn’t have a whole plan put together for that though. He’d brought along his passport, but if he was going to flee the city successfully, he would need to open an offshore banking account and wire enough funds through to live on comfortably for as long as he needed to. They would also need to get a passport for Iris, since he felt pretty certain that she didn’t have one. There were a lot of steps left that would take some time to complete, so he just hoped they wouldn’t have to resort to that for a long time, if at all.

Once the car was parked and turned off, he waited for Iris to put on the sunglasses he’d lent her before he stepped out and opened the trunk. Slinging the strap of the duffle bag over his shoulder, he glanced at her briefly before he took the lead approaching the guard at the elevator door. The man looked surprised at the sight of them, which wasn’t surprising since he’d booked the hotel room under an alias. However, he recovered quickly and bowed, “Good evening, your highness. I take it you’re the one who reserved the executive suite?”

“I did,” he confirmed with a nod, keeping close to Iris’s side. He doubted the man standing in front of them would recognize her in the dim yellow lights of the parking garage while she was wearing sunglasses, but he kept a close eye on him just in case.

Expectedly, the guard attempted to study her discreetly when he stood up straight again. It probably looked to him like the crown prince had booked the room to have a secret affair, so of course he would want to try to figure out who he’d shown up with. Cas couldn’t let him examine her face for long though. He cleared his throat, causing the other man to jump to attention. “Sorry, your highness. Right this way,” he mumbled quickly, swiping a card to access the lift.

The doors opened, granting them access, and Cas stepped past the other man with his hand on Iris’s lower back to guide her forward with him. The guard followed them inside and pressed the button for the twentieth floor. Reserved for VIP guests only, he had to swipe his card one more time when prompted by a yellow light on the display that turned green after the card was accepted. “I have your room key here, your highness,” he said as they ascended to the top floor. Reaching into his breast pocket, he took out another card in a paper sleeve which he handed to the prince. “Only one copy was made though, so I’ll have to request a second one if you need it.”

“That would be great, thanks,” Cas nodded as he took the key. “Just have housekeeping slip it under the door for me when it’s ready.”

“Of course,” the guard bobbed his head respectfully.

When the elevator reached the twentieth floor, the door slid open, depositing the trio into an elegantly decorated hallway. The guard took the lead walking them to their suite, ensuring that the hallways were clear before they rounded any corners for total privacy. At the end of the long corridor, they stopped before a door marked E2050. The guard bowed once more and walked away, leaving them to enter alone.

Cas stepped forward and swiped the room key over the sensor, waiting for the whirr and click that signaled the lock had opened before he pushed the door open and stepped into a massive, multi-level suite with one wall made of pure curtain glass and a sweeping, gold spiral staircase curling up to the bedroom over their heads. “Not too shabby for a hideout, huh?” he mused with a smile, glancing at Iris once more as he set down his bag. “Want to order room service? You and Miles didn’t eat dinner before I picked you up, right?”

It is! It's a fascinating story, so I recommend it even though it's a lot to take in :)
It’s a fantasy that’s kind of difficult to explain. It isn’t difficult to read in the traditional horror sense. It’s more of the trauma that all the characters go through that makes it heavy. Like parents losing children, systematic human trafficking, rape of adolescents, etc. it’s really well written but I have to take lots of breaks so the hard parts don’t make me depressed.
Thanks! I have a lot, but I also have a few friends who are willing to help me out if I need it, especially with moving big furniture.

And nice! I've never read Twilight, but I don't read much romance in general (shocking, since I enjoy writing it). I've been slowly working through the Broken Earth series though, and it's good. Very heavy though, so I have to take a lot of breaks. I definitely feel like Joey from FRIENDS when I go through it xD

I do have one partner that may possibly be going on hiatus again, since I haven't heard anything from her in almost 2 months, so you know what? Why not? xD I'll possibly just be posting closer to weekly rather than daily because I'm trying to stagger replies so I don't overwhelm myself.

I'll have to reread what we've written so far so I can remember what we were doing!

I'm glad you only had a mild case. I've been doing well! My husband and I just bought a house, so we're in the process of moving. I'm doing almost all the heavy lifting, since I don't have a job right now. Plenty of time to pack while he's at work :) It's a lot to manage, but I don't have much else to do during the pandemic, so I've been enjoying it.
