They would steal glances at one another as everything else around them would slow down and eventually fade away. Their hearts would begin to beat more loudly, much like the taiko drums they heard at the festival, hours ago. In the year 2016, in Kyoto, Japan, two lost souls find themselves swept into another world, so terribly different than their own. This new world is filled with magic and fantasy and these two strangers must form a bond and work together if they wish to save both the world they already love, and the new one they've become rather fond of. A story of danger and mystical fantasy await both people as they try to find a way to balance one world with the others. While one world suffers, the other prospers. And when their own world might fall into destruction which cannot be undone, it falls upon the two to come together and find a way to balance the lives they've established in both worlds. In their original world, they try to juggle jobs and real life responsibilities but in the other world, they train and traverse a great expansive region, trying to find answers to the problems that threaten both sides of the same coin. Is it possible to give both worlds happiness or must one suffer while the other prevails? Can history be changed? Can the future be changed? Two people swept away, underneath the cherry blossom trees, are determined to find out. [center][color=f6989d][b][i]~ Requirements ~[/i][/b][/color][/center] You must be capable of posting 4-5 paragraphs. You must be capable of playing both genders and juggling side plots and characters. You must be capable of one post a week. You must be capable of communicating and plotting alongside me. [center][color=f6989d][b][i]~ In closing ~[/i][/b][/color][/center] I envision this as a slice of life adventure with magic and real life stresses, along with all sorts of quests. You could say I'm inspired by Fushigi Yuugi, Five Centimeters Per Second, Kare Kano and The Slayers but it's all light inspiration so you don't have to know what I'm talking about to roleplay. I'm sort of thinking of playing the female (mostly because I've seen a lot of bad portrayals of females lately) but I don't have a qualm if I'm the male but...I'm not looking to be the male because it's hard for you. I honestly have no reservations playing both genders and enjoy doing so, but I'm not here to appease someone's comfort zone. This is an equal partnership and to make a story work, I need both of us working hard to have a fun adventure. Also, I have a life, I prefer fandom stuff, but it's that time of year, you know? I want something cute and fun and innocent and amazing. You should be able to find a high quality anime picture fairly easily, I use pixiv, I'm looking for color and cuteness here. Our characters should be in their early to mid 20s since playing teens is a bit tough considering I'm not one anymore. Anyway, I hope someone sees this and understands the tone I am going for and that there will be a balance of travel, working, training with magic, etc. I want us both to create a new world together and to have a delightful time doing it. Don't PM me though, I'm horrible with PMs. I only use them for smut related endeavors and tend to forget them otherwise. So post here and we can talk and get things moving, maybe share music and pictures and ideas.
