((I made the OOC before this thread, oops. That's here, by the way.))
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 two 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. It's in the larger of the town's high schools, Shirafuyu, that the latest rumor takes hold.
The old school building has been abandoned for close to ten years, and is officially off-limits to students. This of course is enough to send murmurs through the student body by itself, but recent developments have made things a bit more interesting.
"They say if you go into one of the rooms and enter a code into your cellphone, you'll be sent a message predicting your future."
It's unknown where this rumor started, or how it spread so quickly throughout the student body. But it's come to pass that everyone knows about it, in some form. Maybe it's predicting your future. Maybe it's talking to the dead. Some of the rumors are more outlandish than others, but they all involve the old school building and a cellphone code.
But of course, it's just a rumor. There's no basis for it. After all, there's no way to predict the future, or talk to the dead, or anything like that. All of that is just wish fulfillment, after all.
The truth of the old school building is something different entirely...
You play a high school student at Shirafuyu Academy that, for some reason or another, finds themselves investigating the rumor of the old school building. Maybe it's because of some secret desire. Maybe it's because you want to nip the rumor in the bud. Maybe you're just bored. Whatever the reason, you find yourself inside the old school building, knowing full well how much trouble you could get in.
There's something about the building's current state; something that points toward a certain thing in a certain room. With the help of your cellphone, could you be able to unravel the mystery?
It may prove to be bigger than you ever imagined...
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.
