The Premise:
The town of Aikari is located in a hilly, forested region of Japan, surrounded on all sides by tall mountains and located by a river which leads to a nearby lake. Although Aikari is just a half an hour drive from the nearest city, its mountainous borders doesn't exactly make it a common road trip destination. It is a quaint little town with a small population, but it nevertheless boasts an impressive commercial district for a town of its size. It contains a large mall, several arcades and karaoke bars, and a few small cafes that line one particular plaza. There are three residential districts that surround the commercial blocks, which feed into five grade schools and three high schools. All in all, not quite a bustling metropolis, but it has its charm.
Of course, a small town like this still has its fair share of rumors, and perhaps because of the town's small size, those rumors can spread fast. And in the largest of the town's three high schools, Shirafuyu Academy, one of those rumors is prevalent throughout the student body.
They say the old school building holds a secret; that's why it's been blocked off. Barricades have been erected at every entrance, and at every door inside the building. And recently, strange sounds have been coming from the inside of the building. Students have seen strange figures in the upper floor windows of the building. Things like that... little whispers of the unknown, of the macabre, and of wish fulfillment travel around...
But... not many people take those rumors seriously. Of course not. How outlandish would they have to be? It's just an urban legend, after all. Who would be be so stupid as to actually fall for such a thing?
Your phone buzzes. It's a text. You open up your phone to see who it is.
...What the hell? The message make makes no sense at all.
Who sent this?
The Details:
You play a high school student at Shirafuyu Academy that, for some reason or another, finds themselves drawn to the old school building. Maybe it's because of the rumors that surround it. Or maybe it's because of that strange text message you got, telling you to go there.
Whatever the reason, you find yourself inside the old school building, knowing full well how much trouble you could get in. But as you look around the building, you notice something odd about the place.
Seems like you could get into a lot more trouble than you thought...
This RP is a horror/exploration/mystery RP. There are many things that you won't know from the beginning. OOC information will be provided as players discover things IC.
Although the main meat of the RP takes place in the old school building, there will be segments that occur in the outside world. These segments are for character and relationship development. Make friends, spark romances, whatever it is you want to do. Maybe, if your characters survive the ordeal, they'll find themselves with stronger connections than when they started.
If.
The Rules:
1. Standard Guild rules: no godmodding, powerplaying, or metagaming.
2. You know what's cool? IC drama. You know what's not cool? OOC drama. You know what's even less cool than that? Bringing IC drama to OOC, or vice versa. The point is, don't do the latter two.
3. If you have any questions, feel free to PM me. However, be aware that I reserve the right to refuse to answer questions that could be considered spoilers for the plot.
4. Most of all, have fun!
