It's A Long Way To The Top...

Awesome! Glad to see that people are interested in this! Now, we need to discuss the details. Such as where we set the RP, and how our characters will meet. As well as our characters themselves. My thought is that they'd all be roughly 18, freshly out of high school. But let me know what you think!

It's A Long Way To The Top...

Music. A universal language of unrivaled expression as old as society itself. It can make you smile, make you laugh, bring tears to your eyes or rhythm to your feet. It brings people together, from all walks of life. People who previously might have had nothing in common, can come together with mutual love of music, and form bonds stronger than any other friendship. These bonds are what creates a band. A group of like minded musicians who have their own stories to tell, and their own messages to share. How they choose to do that is up to them.

The stories of a young band, coming together to find their place in the world, are unique and often unexplored. These are the stories I want to tell. The members of a band could come from completely different walks of life, have different experiences to draw from, and different motivations that drive them, but all have one thing in common. A love of music. It's these differences that make a band such an interesting group. The clashes of personalities, and intimacy of the raw emotion that is so important in music, can lead to strong friendships, explosive confrontations, and passionate romances. It's high risk, high reward when creative people come together, with experiences to be had that are unique and unforgettable.

This interest check is to see if there would be anyone else interested in Role-Playing a new band, trying to break into the music scene. Anywhere from 3 to 5 more people would work well, with each one of us playing a member of the band. Once we have the people, we can discuss the details. The city it will be set in, and how the characters will meet. Did they go to the same school, or meet through social media? That's all up to us. Everything else can be worked out In-Character once the Role-Play starts.

It's all good guys, no worries at all :) Take care of yourself, Cyndyr! I know how hard mental health problems can hit, so just focus on yourself and your work. Your wellbeing always comes first!
Good luck in High School, Rolling! Definitely focus on your school work above RP, don't make the same mistake I did and spend all my time RPing instead of actually learning! :P

The friend of my character is an unnamed NPC, more of a plot device really. :P So yeah, have a think about how you'd like your character to enter the story? Could be as easy as they meet the group out in the city and ask if they can join in for the ride?

Zac would NEVER forget to lock his van. There's too much valuable stuff in it, and he was always taught to remember to lock things. The friend who owns the apartment they're staying at however might be the type to forget to lock his front door before going away, so maybe they get up to the apartment and see some random sleeping on the couch or something? That could be pretty funny.

It also seems like the RP has frozen a little, so keep that in mind. Hopefully it thaws out soon, because I'm really enjoying it and don't want it to die so soon. I'm waiting on @Cyndyr to post before I post again.

Is there any particular place I should put Rowan, or will they just be NPC'd?

@GoodLuckTuck

Up to you I guess? You could say they have something to do on their own in NYC or they can just be npc'd until you get back?

@manapool1
I like! Just gotta wait till Hawk accepts it :)

The Road Trip of a life time!!!

I will be gone for twelve days starting on the 23rd of July!

@GoodLuckTuck

Have fun and stay sfae! You able to get a post out before you leave? :)

Too late to join as the sob story hitch hiker?

@manapool1

I don't see why it would be? We just got into NYC, so your character could meet the group there or after they leave they leave the city?

"Welcome aboard, Jacklynn!" He called out cheerfully, pointing to another seat that was across from Claire. "South Cali huh? That's actually exactly where we're going! So you're in luck. We are probably gonna spend the weekend in the city here though, hope that's okay?" He smiled at the girl, his eyes scanning the girl briefly before turning around again and getting back on the road. She was pretty cute, he had to admit... Her style was, interesting to say the least, but he kinda liked it.

As they were ready to go again, Zac noticed Ben had waited for them, and he let out a sigh of relief. He kept driving, staying close to the other car so they didn't lose each other. "I'm Zac, by the way." He called out to the new girl. It would be very obvious by the luggage in the back of the van that someone was a musician. Three guitar cases, another instrument case of some kind, maybe a keyboard, and... Was that a disassembled drum kit in the corner, wrapped in towels for travel purposes?

After not too long, they were in the city, and Zac followed Ben into a parking complex, not for from the apartment they were staying in. He pulled up next to Ben's car and smiled at them as he turned off the van. "Hey guys!"

The Road Trip of a life time!!!

Sorry for the delay! Just dropped another (short) post for Claire!

@Cyndyr

All good, no need to apologise! :) We all get that real life gets in the way sometimes.

Zac shrugged a little, still bopping along to the music as he drove along the highway. "Not sure, maybe a day or two?" He answered Rowan's question, though slightly unsure. "Enough to get a good amount of stuff done I hope. I'm hoping to catch a gig while we're there. I went on Facebook earlier and there's a pretty good one on tomorrow night."

After a while, his phone rings, and he picks it up rather quickly, holding it to his ear with his shoulder. "Hey Leo. Yeah, I have a friend with an apartment in Manhattan who is out of town for the weekend and he said we can use his place. I'll get Rowan to text you the address." After he hung up, he handed the phone over to Rowan. "The address is the latest note in there. But please, for your own sake, don't go through reading any others." He warned with an uneasy snicker.

As they continued to drive, something caught Zac's eye. Someone on the side of the road. A hitchhiker. At first, he didn't give it much thought, but as they got closer, he saw it was a girl who looked about their age. And she looked rather desperate too, flagging them down rather enthusiastically. Normally, Zac wasn't the kind of guy to pick up ransoms off the side of the street, but this trip was about trying new things. Taking risks. So that's what he did. "I'm gonna pick her up... Though Claire, she's getting in with you, so, uh... Watch our stuff and maybe keep something you could use as a weapon next to you..." He warned the other two, as he pulled over to the side of the road, next to the girl. "Hey, uh, need a ride?"
