Post a random fact about yourself.

@Xandrya I've always wanted a black room myself. I say do it. Sounds like an awesome idea.

Doing her best to shove any thought of whatever Junie and her brother may or may not be doing, Jasper couldn't help but laugh a little at the look on Nates face after he chugged a bit of the drink. There was nothing quite like the burn of alcohol in the back of your throat, but at least he hadn't started gagging like Jasper thought that he would. The watering in his eyes gave him away just a little, not by much, but enough to cause Jasper to have a half smirk on her face by the time he was done with his drink.

"Not bad... you could do better, but not bad," the dark haired girl said, taking another drink from the tequila bottle she was holding. To be honest, she wasn't quite sure what the shot number equivalent was of how much she drank - only that she was drinking. Shrugging her shoulders at Ramona's suggestion, Jasper screwed the top back on the tequila bottle before speaking. "I'm not opposed to beer pong, but it kinda looks like they already have enough people. Maybe we could play the losers? I dunno."

Looking around the party, she huffed. "Do you guys think it's hot out here? Like not just warm but I mean like hot?"

During this time of being quarantined and shit, I'm sure we can all use some cheering up. So in that case, I would like you guys to tell me your favorite memory. (Or ten. Hell with it.)

Post a random fact about yourself.

I want to GM an RP so badly right now.

But my brain refuses to come up with a concept.

Post a random fact about yourself.

When I was little, people used to tell me that I'd make a great lawyer.

They also called me an old soul.

Guess this means I've been a depressed bitch my whole life, eh?

Most likely the only person the administration didn't affect with their dumbass decision was Jasper Fray.

A loner from day one, and a keeper of few friends, the young man was planing to go with whatever group he could weasel into and hopefully have a good time with. While he was sure the faculty's decision upset quite a good chunk of the Senior class, he wasn't part of the majority. However, he was looking forward to watching people interact and cause more trouble at this event just like he had the rest. If the so called adults of Kings Academy honestly thought that people taking their friends to the Valentines dance was going to ease up on the drama, they were dead wrong. Quietly laughing at the thought as he exited the classroom, Jasper decided to try and weigh his options for the dance.

He didn't really have many. His go to guy was usually Kavi or Kavan. Both of them typically knew wherever the after parties were taking place, and was more than glad to have Jasper tag along. Surely they wouldn't have a problem with letting him join in this go around. If they did, then there was always Chrissie, who was sure to have just as good as a time as the boys - if not better. Making his way down the hall, Jaspers only current intention was to head to class and weigh out his options for the rest of the day. All of that changed as soon as he spotted Ariana and Chris walking together. Planning to ask his friend what her thoughts were on the whole ordeal, Jasper barely missed her as Chrissie walked away.

He instead took the chance to talk to Ariana. They weren't close by any means, but were friendly due to their mutual bestie.

"Where the hell is she going?" He asked curiously as he followed Chrissies path with his eyes. Seeing her intended destination, he groaned. "Oh come on! Kavi? You're kidding me," he said, turning back to Ariana. "Has she gone mad?"

Hitting the reset button had been more difficult than Ariel would have ever imagined.

Kavi's promise to change had been nothing but smoke and mirrors. She had disappointed Ryland, failed to fully make the Misfits understand why she had ghosted them forever ago (they all swore it was water under the bridge, but Ariel still felt like she owed them an explanation), and on top of it all - her grades were slipping. Had she ever been a straight A student? No, of course not. Mostly C's, honestly. It wasn't that she wasn't smart or didn't have the potential, she just had a lot going on those first couple of years of high school. Fortunately due to attending Kings Academy and her fathers connections, Ariel had already received a scholarship to her fathers alma mater of Meadow University. To say she had fallen into another depressive slump would be an understatement.

Had calling it quits with Kavi caused this? Yes and no. Breaking up with Kavi had been a hard thing. She wanted him to change, and knew that he could, but he wasn't putting in the effort. He kept breaking promise after promise. Ariel couldn't subject herself to the bullshit anymore.

After the initial boo-hoo stage, there came the realization that dumping him was a huge weight off of her shoulders. Time apart would allow them to work on themselves, and if the Universe found it okay for them to get together again, so be it. Ariel wasn't going to force or rush anything this time.

While the breakup had its perks, it also had it's downside. She had no one to call when it was three am and she needed to clear her head. Sure, there were her friends, but they didn't know the things in her head like Kavi did. Marisol was there whenever she needed to complain, but they had both agreed prior to her getting back with Kavi that Marisol wouldn't be there to help clean up the mess this time. There was Shawna, but the friendship was to new to weigh her down with depressing bullshit. She and Archer were just now getting to a good place, Ryland was still pissed... The more she laid there and thought about the position she had put herself in with everyone, the more angry and depressed she became.

Avoiding her father had been proving to be more and more difficult in these last few weeks. Trillian had gone from working long hours at the office to bringing more and more of his work home with him. Long nights had become even longer for Ariel, and bruises dotted her skin more often than not these days. The dark circles under her eyes got more noticeable as each day went by. Walks on the beach helped to clear her mind from time to time, but they didn't seem to be working their magic as good as they used to. Vodka seemed to be her only companion, and the weed she had gotten from Mari the day they had dyed Ariel's hair also ended up being a comfort item.

All of this had been coming for months. Ariel just hadn't taken the time to step back and let it all in yet. How long the slump would last, she didn't know. She was just determined not to go down the road of disappearing again. Now that she had started distancing herself from her hobbies, she was trying to focus her attention on her friends. Kavi fell into that category, but she had done her best not to text or call. Of course a small how are you? got sent every so often, but their conversations didn't have any depth. None of her conversations these days really did unless she was out raising hell and getting caught in the moment with the Misfits.

Not paying attention to what Mrs. Sanders really had to say, she wouldn't really realize why they had all been crammed into the classroom together until she heard the grumbles from the other students.

Taking friends? Seriously? She silently rolled her eyes in the back of the room, gathering her things as she waited for the most of the students to leave.

Yeah, she had been trying to focus more on her platonic relationships, but a small part of her had just hoped that this could be the cheesy first date after her and Kavi's reset. Silently scolding herself, she made her way out of the classroom and into the hallway. If the Universe and the school administration wanted her to focus more on friendship, so be it.

As she walked, the now red haired woman searched the faces in the halls quietly going over her options in her head until she saw her target.

Kavan Varma. A person who she could consider a friend, though not the closest. Kavan had started hanging out with the Misfits right around the time that Ariel had poofed if she remembered correctly. They had some things in common on the artistic side of things, but they hadn't really talked much over the last few years. Maybe it was time for that to change.

"Hey Kavan," she called out, trying to get the young mans attention. Once he had turned around, Ariel kept walking towards him, closing the distance between them. "Crazy idea, but what do you say you and I go to this dance thing together?"

Sheet Critiques and Free Hugs

Here's a little OOC concept that I put together a couple weeks ago. It never got that much traction. Any tips you have for when I decide to bring it back would be helpful.

Stranded

Turbulence.

It's something you almost always get on a flight. Wind. Storms. High altitudes. The thought of crashing any moment.

Your anxiety levels are higher than your current altitude. While you're used to making business trips back and forth across the globe, it still doesn't mean you didn't have to take sleeping medication before boarding your flight. It still doesn't change the fact that while you and your coworker exchange smile from across the isle, that one of the engines just went out. The oxygen masks deploy, the pilots voice coming over the intercom. It's not just your anxiety anymore.

Thoughts of your loved ones rush through your head. Why didn't you use those vacation days? Why didn't you press snooze on your alarm just one more time this morning?

The plane nose dives as the people around you scream, pray, and hug their children. The flight attendant insists that you must all remain calm as she buckles herself in.

Everything goes black.

Hey there and welcome to Stranded, a Slice of Life survival RP. First off, thank you so much for your interest! In this RP, our characters will be struggling to survive a plane crash on an island located somewhere in the Atlantic ocean. During this RP, you will face battles such as hunger, whatever injuries you may have, and Mother Nature herself (just to name a few). There will be drama, hardships, and fun. Let the survival games begin!

• Keep in mind that this is a character driven RP. Make sure that you communicate with your fellow writers outside of the RP, as well as having your characters interact IC wise. While the GM will help to move the story forward, you characters will make decisions that keep the story going. Focus on PC interaction rather than NPC.
• This should go without saying, but read every post even if your character is not involved. Do not @ each other in IC posts.
• The writing expectations for this RP is that of casual. I will expect two well written paragraphs for each post minimum. More is great, though quality over quantity is best!
• The maximum amount of time between posts allowed for this RP is Fourteen days. I will expect one post for each of your characters every fourteen days. Deadlines will be every on Sunday at Midnight, Pacific Standard time. Extensions will be given until the following Wednesday if needed. Communication is key, and if you are not going to be able to post for a decent amount of time, DM/PM me and we'll try to work something out. If you work with me, I will do my best to work with you.
• If you miss a deadline, your characters will be put on hiatus until the next deadline. For example, if you miss a post for the second of the month, you will not be able to post with your characters until the sixteenth of the month. If you go hiatus twice, you will be removed from the RP. Being stuck in a collab is not an excuse for missing a deadline. If it comes down to it, post what you have. For both characters to be cleared for the deadline, there must be a decent contribution from each character.
• To let me know that you have read the rules, put your current favorite song in the extra section of your Character Sheet.
• Please allow two people to post before you post again. This does not include if you are posting separately for your characters back to back.
• No godmodding, power playing, etc. Your character won't know every survival skill in the book, nor will they have all the supplies they need at any given time. Characters have to work together!
• If you have any questions, comments, or concerns - please PM/DM me and I will address them to the best of my ability. Same goes if you are having any problems with any of the writers in the group.

• This should go without saying, but no Mary-Sue or Gary-Stu characters!
• There is a three character limit for this RP - but please DO NOT take on more than you can handle. Give all of your characters equal attention. A even gender ration is not required, but we also don't want 50 females and 3 males, so please keep that in mind.
• Real life faceclaims only!! Please use some-what known face claims as opposed to stock photos. If you need help finding a face claim or face claim resources, the GM is more than happy to help.
• Feel free to add gifs, colors, fonts, etc. to your character sheet, but do not change the overall layout of the character sheet!
• Please post completed character sheets in the OOC for GM review. GM reserves the right to accept, deny, or make suggestions to your sheet as they see fit.
• Follow the instructions in the character sheet! Delete the instructions from the sheet before posting for GM review.
