*This RP is currently already underway and has been running for sometime now. This is a new Interest check to bring in fresh blood to the RP - Those joining now will be moved into apartments once held by others and you will be new to the three buildings. Relation sheets will not be needed to start as you will just be getting to know your room mates and those that live around you. If you wish to have a pre-exsisting relationship with one of our current RPers - please contact them, work out the details and fill in the relation sheet - Please post only completed CS's sheets in the topics OOC first and await approval. We look forward to welcoming new folk to the neighborhood.
OOC - Growing Up - Newly Updated OOC - Go Here To Apply - More apartments available if needed
Somewhere in San Francisco is a small, seemingly insignificant apartment building the color of daffodils. It's quite lovely, really, but it wouldn't be so unnoticeable if it weren't for the much taller, obnoxiously bright red one right next to it. But the apartments themselves is not what this is about - no - it's the people living in them. Eleven, to be precise, and between them are five apartments, one neurotic landlord, and a coffee shop with crap coffee, dry muffins and great ambiance.
The yellow building is the aptly named Daffodil Building, and in it are apartments 1A and 1B - two bedrooms each, and really not as cramped as it looks like from the outside unless, of course, you happen to be roomies with someone who fills every single inch of floorspace with clothes and shoe boxes. With 1A on the second floor and 1B on the third, that leaves us with the first floor, which is entirely occupied by The Mighty Bean Café. It's where most of the tenants spend their mornings, evenings, and everything in between, and it claims to be a million times better than Starbucks despite the fact that their coffee only tastes slightly less worse, but terrible all the same. Some of the tenants from the other building work there part-time, which brings us to...
The Red Building, and yes, that's exactly what it's called. It used to have an antique shop on the bottom floor, but then its owner moved to Nebraska so the remaining tenants had it converted into some sort of communal living area instead. There are three apartments in the Red Building: 2A, 2B, and 2C. 2C's only slightly smaller than the other two, but it also has two bedrooms, and one of everything else, much like the apartments in the Daffodil Building.
And then there's The Building Across The Street. Like the other two, it also houses apartments, but unlike the other two, it's newer, pricier, and definitely a lot bigger. Like the Daffodil building, a shop occupies the bottom floor - a boutique called Strut - but it also shares the space with everyone's favorite bar: HUB, it has the greatest margaritas in the planet. Nobody ever goes to the apartments upstairs, therefore it's colloquially known as the Apartments No Ever Goes To. Ever. But for some reason, its tenants always find themselves inexplicably drawn to the two other, objectively shittier, apartments across the street and the terrible coffee shop that comes with it.
Between the three are fourteen people. They've been more or less sharing the same area for at least a few years now, though a bit less for some, so even though they've got bricks, concrete, and a road separating them, they're close enough so that kitchen-raiding at 3AM and finding someone passed out on someone else's floor or couch can be counted as a relatively common occurrence.
These are people with different backgrounds, different quirks, and likes, and ideas, and with personalities so different, it's a wonder just how they make it work. But surprisingly, they do.
...And it's anything but simple.
This is a realistic, slice of life, character driven roleplay. Relations among other characters are required, kind of. This is not a first come, first serve roleplay so no reservations will be allowed. We will be starting the roleplay as it will one of my character's birthday so a party will definitely be thrown for them. If you have any suggestions or ideas, please do not hesitate to PM me. Always available.
