[OOC] Toybox Memories

[Crimmy]

Brooklyn's not really a eyepatch-wearing robot jackass who keeps getting horribly injured by explosions or defenestration though, :3.

But yeah, I've done the same. I've used the same character in at least five RPGs.

[Rakurai]

@Crimmy: Well I'm just going to go with the explanation of 'magic' when it comes to cleaning the place cause I don't want the RP to turn into a clean-fest. When the characters first arrive the place will be in dusty and perhaps a bit in disrepair. But once the initial cleaning phase is over, I'm not really going to be giving dust-collection much thought. It'll also be interesting to see which 'areas' within the school will get more attention. Normally it's the classroom, but without classes... xD

@KoL
Shh, Kotori she's not gloomy, she's just the realistic brains of the group. Every party needs a voice of reason who no one listens to... right? xD

In regards to the posting rule I'll be editing that based on how active the first few days are. I can understand that some people will feel restricted by that rule, but we have a few people who have indicated they'll only be posting once every 2~3 days.

Stupid-counting, if we have 10 people and everyone posts twice a day (It won't happen, but still) that's 20 posts a day, 140 in a week (Again, it won't happen).

If people find 2 posts to be too little though I'm happy to bump it up to my original number of 3.
To be honest I prefer a high level of activity, but I'm also mindful of how it can be ridiculously frustrating to log on each morning and find you've got an entire page of interactions to read through that may or may not concern your character. So yeah, if people seem to be hitting the cap too much, or there's at least a significant amount of interest in raising it now I'm going to leave it at two per day.

[MelodyNoir]

Well, Ian has not officially been colored and no longer just has a sketch as a reference picture xP
So there is my character sheet completely finished, took me longer to color it then I thought it would.

[KoL]

A lot of people seem to be putting a fair amount of effort into their CS's... *totally not feeling the pressure*
Asuna Yuuki, Crimmy, and MelodyNoir have now completed their CS's and have been fully approved.
They just need to post their CS and they're all set.

@Cultural Titan@TrixyTrix@Masaki Haruna@Bleu Chess@Rae Zer
Those who have not posted a CS should aim to get it up within 24 hours from this post.
I'm mainly putting this deadline on since we now have 11 people, which is one more than I intended.

I've also put up a diagram of the school campus, originally I was just going to use the image I had on the Intchk but it lacked a bit of detail. If there's anything you want added then feel free to suggest.

@Rakurai

So... I'm right to think that we'll begin this soon? It's almost 24 hours after the aforementioned post, anyway, and now I'm dying of anticipation.

[Rakurai]

I think they've got another hour?
I've already received a PM from TrixyTrix and Bleu Chess, so they'll be accepted once I've done nitpicking their CS's. (Those who have already applied know the process xD). Applications close in a bit, but it'll probably be anywhere from a few hours to half a day before I manage to piece everything together and get this started. In other words I intend to get this started sometime on Thursday.

After giving things a little bit of thought, characters will be starting in the forest, waking up alone and confused. Characters are not permitted any personal equipment besides the clothes on their back, characters are allowed up to one simple item (such as a sketchbook). As well as any accessories that they had on them when they passed away, eg; earrings, bracelets, piercings, armlets, hairclips etcetc.

On a random note though, thanks to Crimmy, KoL and MelodyNoir for both being active/posting in the OoC :P

[Crimmy]

No problemo.

[MelodyNoir]

No need to be so formal Raika~ Call me Cake! xD

Well, I do look forward to seeing the remaining character sheets that are coming in.

[karamonnom]

Hehe, I would be more active in the OOC if I knew what to say ;x oh I guess I can say, thank you to the people who liked my character :3

[Rakurai]

Shh Cake, I'm the GM and I'm supposed to seem all formal and proper at all times *nods*

@karamonnom
Haha, I sort of know what you mean. On one hand I want the OoC to be active. But on the other I don't want it being spammed with senseless stuff since people get discouraged from keeping up with the OoC when that happens.... it's hard to balance thigns. xD

Applications for this roleplay
are now officially closed!

8 Players have managed to meet the cut-off time, and are displayed below.
To those who weren't able to make it in time, I'm sorry but after thinking things over I've decided 8 people is probably a more ideal number to go with. Considering how some people said they were busy but still managed to get in I think it's fair. I also mentioned in the Intchk (post18) that waiting until the end of the week might mean all spots are taken. The number has been reduced, but the point will be applied regardless.

I'll be starting on an IC post shortly. Actually going to get MelodyNoir to do it xD
As mentioned prior, the RP will start with;
-All characters waking up alone in the forest.
-The time of day is 'A bit before midday'
-Characters are permitted upto one item that holds significant importance to them.
-Characters will be wearing what they were wearing at the time of their death.
-Characters do not have to come across the 'establishment; Toybox' in their first post.
-Characters are welcome to make up and come across any animal/plant. (Try not to go crazy yet though).

[KoL]

So we've closed at 5 girls and 3 boys, eh? I dunno why, but this seems a significant number.

Anyway, I'll be doing my 1st CS post s soon as I get back home from college in a half hour or so.

[karamonnom]

Working on a post right now >:D

[MelodyNoir]

Well, I didn't even get to be all fancy and say that the first IC post has been posted xD Nomnom beat me too it~

[karamonnom]

Hehe, sorry~ <3 I was very excited

[MelodyNoir]

No worries~ I'm glad the starting post I wrote up got you excited enough to start writing your own post almost right away xP

[Bleu Chess]

Hiya, folks. Since I see my character's name on the list, does that mean my character is accepted? :'3

[Rakurai]

I was going to write up the starting post, but after thinking things over I figured my 'first post' would have been very dull as Zeke isn't one of those waking up. I guess I could have talked about the breeze in the forest and the bright hot sun in the sky, but it'd essentially just be fluff no one cared about. Getting MelodyNoir to write it for me seemed the better alternative. xD

I've been talking to MelodyNoir outside the OoC and have decided that having them be a co-GM would be a good idea.
So yes, respect the Cake, they may or may not have more authority then me... *Waits for the gun to be withdrawn from the back of his head*

Our current character roster (3M, 5F) may be expanded by one as I've contacted someone.
But for the time being this'll be our cast. (Only accepting a male character, so we'll finish a 4 males if they join).

[MelodyNoir]

Blue Cheese! Raika is a fail cake, he has accepted you though~
So I shall say, welcome on board! As the official Co-GM you shall be the first and only to get a welcoming puppy!

*Throws confetti everywhere and plants a puppy on Cheese's lap*

And Nomnom shall be the cat on my lap! Raika! I need a chair that spins~

Has totally not lost it due to the all amazing co-GM powers

@MelodyNoir

Meow~ =^.^= P.S. I posted.

[Bleu Chess]

Thanks for the warm welcome, Rakurai! I shall gladly take this puppy and eat it!

You sure know how to make an awesome Co-GM. xD

[Rakurai]

A chair that spins?
For some reason I'm more inclined to provide you with one of those spinny-tables they have at some Chinese restaurants. What with you being Cake, and Blue Cheese the group looks pretty appetizing. In fact so appetizing someone's already NomNom'ing away :/

Okay idiocy aside, I've spoken to the 9th person who'll join this RP, and they've informed me that they'll be putting together a character sheet in the near future. As I mentioned earlier it will be a guy~
So keep an eye on that if you care enough xD
