❥▐ cupid's brew「ooc」

Okay, my PC is still broken, so posts from home will be scarce. However, I will post at least once a day at school.

 

How this Scavenger Hunt will go dooooown because I'm not sure it's self-explanatory --

I will tell you if you find something. You should look around, explore the forest. I'll tell you if someone 'jumps' out at you, or if someone is about to tag your counselor. You'll have a certain amount of time to stop certain things from happening, before I progress you.

 

I JUST FINISHED WORK NOT TOO LONG AGO. GETTING CAUGHT UP ON THE THREAD AS WE SPEAK AND THEN POSTING. :][DOUBLEPOST=1367272206][/DOUBLEPOST]JAYN, YOU'RE MISSING CABIN E FROM THAT SCAVENGER HUNT LIST. JUST A HEADS UP.

 

IT WASN'T MISSING, I WAS WAITING FOR SOMETHING / SOMEONE AND STILL AM. UPDATE ON THAT WAS IN THE CHAT.

 

OH. OKAY. WELL I'M NOT HOME, SO I CAN'T CHECK SKYPE. WON'T BE HOME TIL PROBABLY AROUND 11 ( 9 ) OR SO, BUT I'LL BE HERE THE WHOLE TIME AND I DON'T WORK TOMORROW SO YEAH.... I JUST SAW THAT IT WASN'T THERE AND THOUGHT I WOULD SAY SOMETHING. BUT ALL RIGHT THEN. :]

 

//D e e p b r e a t h .

You would think this would be self explanatory in a role play, but please, please, please r e a d the posts. There are A LOT of you guys making, bluntly, stupid mistakes just because you aren't READING. Read the posts. Both here in the OOC section, and in the main role play. PLEASE. Stop being lazy, please. If this is a reoccurring thing for any of you, I will ask you to leave.

Silly mistakes being made sometimes is normal but like it's kind of ridiculous.

 

WHAT THE HECK IS THIS, JAYN?

Well, inquisitive one, this is called a 'command' or 'prompt'! I'm not sure what to call it yet, here. Basically, they're indicators of what your character should be doing. It's important that you try to follow them, unless you've talked to me about doing something different and it's cool. Usually, the consequence for not following through will result in ... death, or something else unfortunate or alternative for your character.

They're there to tell you what's going on, kind of like the narration of a game, or to trigger an event.

WHAT THE HECK IS IS A COUNTER?

Counters may follow commands / prompts, or an event. Basically, I'll post with a number. Let's say 10. Then, I'll count down to zero. When a counter hits zero, you've run out of time to post with your character doing what needs to be done (in this case, escaping the forest), and you're subject to the consequences. Sometimes a counter can be stopped before zero or can go back up again, depending on the circumstance.

During a counter, no one else can control or 'godmod' your characters to safety. It's alllll up to you.

 

Yo, so if you aren't out of the forest at this moment -- then you're going to be shipped off to a hospital. If you must post, then you should wake up in an ambulance -- or at the hospital. I don't care what you name the hospital as long as it's not ridiculous. It should be around 40 minutes from the camp.

I REPEAT - IF YOU ARE CURRENTLY IN THE FOREST AND YOU DIDN'T POST TONIGHT / MISSED THE 'EVENT', YOU'RE GONE. GONNNNE TO THE HOSPITAL. Your belongings are at camp. If you don't post with your characters being moved to - or at the hospital ASAP, I'm probably going to kill you off.

For everyone else, I'll post and update tomorrow. You can post, socializing and catching up. They'll be rounding everyone up into the loft, which is big and pretty and clean and safe with snacks and blankets. An assembly will be held informing you of what comes next / what happened.

 

The wording is directly influenced by Jayn's video, which I keep watching again and again. I can't wait to see more like them... heh...hehehe...

Anyhow, I created this image to fulfill the dark desire to do so following revealing Alice's death. Whadya thinks?


To go along with it, a list of some of the little foreshadowings having to do with Alice's demise:

1. Requiem is the biggest and most obvious one, probably. A Requiem is a funeral dirge, but this fact was covered up by Alice's gothic style and flair.
2. Brumal is the shortest day of the year; Winter solstice. I knew Alice would only last about a day, and a very short day. Not only this, but Winter is commonly a symbol of death and the cold anxiety Alice feels.
3. You might recall a little conversation between Emalynn and Alice concerning the Scavenger Hunt. Alice joked "I'm probably going to die." This is a commonly used phrase to denote a person has very limited capability in their ability to perform in a certain task; in Alice's case, it was meant to be far more literal.
4. Alice's finding the matchstick. At that point, I knew Alice would die by fire; Jayn had been rather secretive about the mode up until the day we did the scavenger hunt. Little did I know, the matchstick would serve as the direct mode of her death, because at first, the matchstick she found was used; I changed it when Jayn suggested I should, since it would be the easiest way to start the fire. This was an allusion to "The Little Match Girl" by Hans Christian Anderson. Here is a short film that tells the story as well. In the story, the young girl is abused and lonely, but wishes to see a love she has lost.
5. The bear. The bear was a way so that Alice would die, and not Noëlle, as they were in the same spot when the fire started. Simply, the bear blocked the latter's path so that the former could not be reached.
6. Many other things, such as her interacting with many other characters in a short amount of time, her not being officially given a cabin, and her journal being left in the same cabin. Now, I want to make one point perfectly clear: you now know it's there; doesn't mean your character(s) do(es). ;p

I loved creating and molding the tragedy of Alice. And yes, her first name is directly taken from the Lewis Carroll story; I'm reading the story right now for the first time, but I've been familiar with many of its elements seemingly forever. I can also now tell you that the friend who I modelled a little of Alice after was a friend of mine who died suddenly of a brain aneurysm last year, two years after we had a falling out and never spoke during that time. The day I heard her name and the word "died", my life changed forever. Many of her musical influences are the girl's, while her nightly terrors and feeling like a freak and being aware of why is me. I wanted Alice to have a meaningful, passionate death that was not only brilliant in a literary vein, many thanks being to Jayn, but I wanted Alice to be a composite of many different things, so many could relate to her. Just because we know many characters are likely doomed because Jayn is leading this, this does not mean the characters cannot be latched onto. I have grown to like all of the other characters, and I will do what I can to ensure that you all grow attached to mine.

 

But I actually thought she would be Sebastian's love interest! Talk about and aphid eating away at black rose! And I expected to see a great storyline..
All in all, I should be grateful that Toni and Adrian are on their way to the hospital...but still.
Anyway, a toast...

​

R.I.P.​

Alice Requim​

​

A black rose born and bred,​

Its a shame,​

that her life wont continue to be read,​

She wore black, she kind,​

Even if her demeanor spooked the mind,​

To Sebastian, I'm sorry for your loss​

Like the rock that tethers the moss.​

This is my apoligies​

She was well made​

The MP3 isn't working for me. -sniffle-

I like the picture though

 

If you're at the hospital: you'll be discharged and provided transportation back to camp. (Taxis?)
If you're at camp: get up, dressed, and head to the main road to wait for the bus. Breakfast will be served on the ferry

S I G H. Please don't time skip to the ferry ride?? I don't... Okay, just please don't do that. Focus on the bus ride. Not everyone is even on the bus and information about the road to the ferry and about the actual ferry ride (via leaders) needed saying. Take the time up until then to socialize on the bus, or get on if you're a slowpoke. When I post I'll enlighten and have the ferry start movin'.

 

IM BACK JAYN
you wont need to erase my character
