finch: (Lost: Robin painted)

The thing about the City is that it's incredibly easy to get there by accident, much more than most people think. A turn through a place where reality is a little squishy, an office building with an extra hallway, an underground walkway you discover by accident, sometimes even a door that just, for some reason, has decided it doesn't feel like depositing you where it ought. Lots of times people wander through the City and out the other side and never even notice aside from a little discomfort in the back of their mind.

Sometimes reality is a little more of a soft cheese than usual, however, and there's a sudden influx in one or another part of the City. Usually when this happens it's one of the busier parts of town but...

Well, today you happen to take a wrong turn, or a door that doesn't go quite like it should, and you find yourself in a building that almost looks abandoned. There's no telling whether that rug has been untouched for a hundred years or a thousand, the tapestries on the walls are faded and the silks are not so much moth-eaten as simply falling victim to entropy. As you continue on, though, you come to a knot of rooms that feel lived in. A kitchen still smells of spices, a small library has books unfolded on a desk with no sign of dust, an empty room has a polished floor and smells of sweat.

What must be the main room is clearly maintained, with clean, if cracked, stone floors and polished mahogany furniture. The floor is covered with scattered glass pieces and the occasional sparking light. A redheaded young man is bent over, trying to gather them up and not having the best luck at it.

Well. Now what?

(Hello and welcome to the summer roleplay! Please keep hands and feet inside at all times. You get Robin because I don't have a Jian icon right now. Oops. I'll try to fix that later.)

It's late afternoon, just approaching evening, and one of the less-imposing reception rooms in the Citadel at the heart of the City of Glass is lit up by a glorious sunset. The dry heat of the desert day is starting to die off; the temperature sits at a pleasant level now.

The walls of the room are made of thick, solid glass panes, in deceptively delicate white stone frames. They are punctuated at regular intervals by wall hangings embroidered with intricate geometric patterns, in green and gold. There is a large, extravagant rug, woven in similar colors, covering the floor. The ceiling, high above, is more glass, fogged, and gilded around the edges to match the gold in the tapestries.

One wall is dominated by a pair of double doors that swing open onto an enclosed pleasure garden, with carefully maintained flowers climbing the walls and a murmuring fountain in the center. There are white gravel paths marking out four regular quadrants.

The portals are opening once again...

There is a reception area, and at first glance, it looks to be like most reception areas: there is a front desk, a hallway that leads away, boasting a row of doors appearing to go on forever; there are two other doors immediately visible, one bearing the words Conference Room and the other Committee Chair, both etched in fine glass. All of the décor is elegant, if cold: everything is done up in blues and whites, and the chairs and couches provided look like they were chosen more for their appearance over their actual functionality.

If not for the sense of other in the room, it might seem like an ordinary office building.

It isn’t.

Welcome to heaven! Feel free to explore. A very freaked out Gabriel will probably greet you at some point.

The house sits on a bluff above the sea, with a winding path down to a sandy beach leading away from the yard. It is three stories high, stucco and terracotta, and would look forbiddingly expensive were it not for the worn tire swing hanging from a tree and the flip-flops left strewn around the outdoor pool.

Inside, the house looks much the same--expensive but lived-in. A grand piano, clearly used, dominates one room. Another room has couches and chairs neatly arranged like a museum, with beat-up books and magazines filling its shelves and cupboards. It is light and airy, with huge windows, a well-stocked kitchen, and first-rate entertainment systems.

The first and second floors seem to be generalized living spaces, with the bedrooms on the third floor. The master bedroom is the only exception, and the only one that still seems in use. Multiple other rooms, especially on the third floor, look dusty and unused.


((welcome to the RP, writers! Let the games begin.))

The hospital is sterile and sprawling, its hallways and patient rooms painted a glaring white. The floor is made of something hard and shining, and the lights are that peculiar kind of flourescent that makes everyone look ill.

The first floor consists of the lobby (painted a sickly green), an emergency room, and several surgery suites, all stocked with cutting-edge, even futuristic, technology and supplies. There is a cafeteria, though the buffet line is empty; the only consumables seem to be stocked in a line of vending machines along one wall. There are no stairs, only elevators, to the upper floors, which all consist of patient rooms: made beds, glazed windows, dying flowers, and the hard plastic orange chairs that are a constant in hospitals.

The whole building smells like antiseptic and death.

Lucien? What did I tell you about running off on your own? )

Welcome!

Note that anything your characters do in the clearing may result in posts back of things happening around them, even if these aren't exactly invited. Something's lurking around here, and it wants a snack!

Feel free to bring your own fairies, ghosts, mages and seriously confused regular people.

Because why not? Cuten up your verse by completing the following special color.

Bubblegum Pink
[Tag as "color: custom palette" when posting.]

1. Favorite Toy
2. Memory Box
3. Baby Teeth
4. Bubble Soap
5. Rubber Duck
6. "Just Five More Minutes"
7. Playground
8. Coloring
9. Blankie
10. Time Out
11. Show and Tell
12. "But, why?"
13. "S/he started it!"
14. Time for a Treat
15. Wonderment

With the special considerations: the main character of every short must be ten or under. So, you're going to have to flash back or let the kids hog the spotlight.

Sharing is encouraged! Have the little version of your MC hang out with the MC of someone else's 'verse and be as adorable as possible. Make sure to ask first.

This challenge is due on April 25th. You may have Bubblegum Pink as a sixth color (if you're already doing a special sixth color, you will need to complete that or do Bubblegum Pink as a saturation). If you complete the challenge by the appointed date, you will receive ten novelty beads from SWL's personal stash of quips and pictures, plus a bonus for every crossover.

~*~

Not sure what to write?

We're also having an impromptu spring RP for ten and under characters.

Setting: a bright, sunny playground with a wood castle (three towers, a bridge, a hidey cubby in the bottom of one of the towers), lots of good trees for climbing, a shady picnic table, plus all the juice, cookies and sammiches anyone could ever want in the cooler. The playground has meadow grass instead of a rubberized play surface and there's a plastic chest of bubble soap, hula hoops, balls, squirt guns, butterfly nets, those sorts of goodies around. Probably a hose too if anyone's inclined to related naughtiness.

No hitting. Posting starts right now and runs at least through Monday. Three novelty beads from SWL's stash to be issued per character brought along for the fun.

~*~

ETA: The only person I don't have available as a child is Tian. Making icons now. Expecting to be moseying around with pokes soon! (And you don't have to have icons. I just like them.)

RP Close!

The front doors of the two houses stand open, admitting fresh air and fellow students. Both stand three stories tall. Most of the rooms upstairs have closed doors; in the sorority, one that doesn't--the master bedroom--has a large, locked armoire next to a desk that holds three jewelry-like boxes and a laptop. There are six bathrooms between the three floors. Downstairs in the sorority house, the kitchen has a sprinkling of flour across one of the counters next to a stand mixer. The living room is sprawling, with two long couches and an armchair across from three bookcases holding an assortment of DVDs, BluRays, and books. The TV is a flatscreen mounted to the wall, connected to an assortment of video game systems and a DVD/BluRay player. Another room stands open with a laminated sign taped to the door: "IF YOU ARE NOT A WITCH, YOU NEED SUPERVISION TO ENTER." This room has two long tables with workstations at each: Bunsen burners, metal stands with clamps, and a slab of granite. Each table has a sink, complete with an eyewash . Along the walls are glass cases of what appear to be chemicals, pieces of wood, dried herbs, a variety of salts, sands, vials, and beakers. The fraternity's house is much the same, though its kitchen has coffee grounds sprinkled next to the coffeemaker and more bedroom doors are open.

Both houses open to a large shared garden. It's surrounded by a high wood fence. Herbs like lavender, hyssop, and sage are planted in rows along the sides, with vegetables and fruits in raised beds. In each of the back corners are fruit trees, with roses along the back fence. Containers of plants that would otherwise take over, like mint, are in containers on the patios.

The portals are opening...

I meant to post this yesterday and forgot, oops. Even though I had an email to myself sitting at the top of my inbox, reminding me to do it.

This is just a reminder that the RP will start in twelve days, on Valentine's Day, Thursday the fourteenth. If you'd like to play, you might want to start thinking about who you'll bring. You can bring as many characters as you reasonably think you can play; there's no upper cap. You get three prompts per character you bring.

Hello hello, loungers! We mods have been discussing the next RP, since it's something we all look forward to. We've settled on February, from the fourteenth to the seventeenth. Yours truly will host this time around, and, as always, it will be held here in the lounge. We'll be using my Gate University 'verse for our setting. (You don't need to know anything about it; I'll write up an intro to the area as my opening post.)

The previous RPs can be found under the roleplay: open tag. If you have questions, feel more than free to ask.

RP Closed

Hello, Lounge!

The RP is at 1,003 comments as of this post! Wow, guys.

And because of the storm that hit the East Coast, we're extending the time to join to the 7th. That's this Saturday. It should give everyone plenty of time to join, if you want to; if you're in the storm area, hopefully your power is back by then.

Enjoy the game!

Stuff you actually need to know available in this direction:
http://rainbowlounge.dreamwidth.org/18653.html

Have fun!

ETA: This post has not been up thirty-six hours and we officially have more than 500 comments. SO I SUPPOSE THIS ISN'T FUN AT ALL AMMIRITE? XD

ETA II: I am really, really touched that everyone wants to take care of the deceased fellow in the pool. I'm sure he appreciates it (he didn't even have a name in the story where he first appeared ;_;). But, alas, there was only one of him and he's currently being handled. He may be installed in a bedroom shortly, and should that happen, I will give him his own thread for poking purposes.

There's been interest in another RP, and since the last one was so successful, we'd like to have another.

This time, we're asking for volunteers to host it. If your canon has a venue we could use, of any kind (not necessarily a bar or restaurant; it could even be a home, if it's large enough for a crowd), and you'd like to host, please speak up! You'll get an extra three Novelty Beads for hosting, in addition to three for playing the host character and three for any other character.

If no one volunteers, that's all right; the mods have backup plans. But if you're interested, feel free to speak up! We're looking at playing in the last weekend of June or the first weekend of July.

Things are shifting. Points in space and time are connecting in ways they’ve never connected before. Bridges are materializing where there once was nothing.

There are cosmic signs appearing across the universes. They’re all pointing to the same place.

OOC: Sorry for the delay! If any questions come up, remember there’s this post where you can ask.
