The Fireflies Settlement

<Snipped quote by Days>

That role would probably suit you best anyway since you are the GM and already have an idea of the general storylines, surroundings etc.

@Rawk

I was thinking of making the character anyways, yes.

I've started writing in any case. There was one other person that was interested in the RP. I PMd him.

I'm a tad sad no one is willing to play the mayor of Fireflies. I thought it would be a popular choice.

The Fireflies Settlement: a post-apocalyptic story of two settlements, a dam and a feud.

Psssht... bump.

So, tomorrow around this time I'll get the first post up. I guess we can make a way towards starting. I'll also bump the interest check once more.

The Fireflies Settlement

During the night, only a couple of the streetlights light the way along the cobblestones of the Fireflies settlement. Besides the sporadic street lights, only one other light is on during the night. It shines like a sort of moon, enlightening the clock tower in the middle of the settlement. At 7 o’clock sharp, the morning bells go off, in a rhythmic song that wakes the sleeping inhabitants of Fireflies. Some may have woken up before, to start baking the bread in the bakeries, or to relieve the night guards from their shift. Some might wake up later, like the dam engineers that had a night shift, the babies and the elderly. In most cases however, the people of Fireflies open their eyes and start their day. They dress their kids, dress themselves. They eat their breakfast at home, or in one of the communal canteens. The streets fill with people, some with children, some on a bike, some with bags and some in work clothes. The parents bring their children to the school building that stands beneath the clock tower, before heading towards their own places to be.

The settlement is cheerful, happy and bustling with life. It’s population has been growing due to good food, and it’s focus on children. But lately, something has been hanging in the air. An unease, a gossip, a whisper of questions and speculations. Since the Lover’s Incident, as it is now called, the relations with the neighbouring settlement Water Leafs has been tense. The mayor’s daughter, Jess, fell of the dam. Or so Jacob, her lover, says. The Water Leafs believe he threw her off, and the death of his daughter is not taken lightly by the mayor. You can almost taste the tension on your tongue, and things are about to escalate.

I had to re-read Fay's hobbies because I could have sworn the first time it said "torturing children of the settlement" :D

Was about to wonder just what kind of place this was O.o

@Rawk

When I was re-reading the bio, I also read it as torturing. Haha.

The Fireflies Settlement

No worries, @Days. Updated the original CS post :)

@Rawk

Great, thank you, you can place it in the characters tab now! :)

I also finished my CS. long sigh

The Fireflies Settlement

@Rawk

The neutral is great and will still be good. I'm sorry, I should have specified better that I prefer everyone to be from fireflies. Extra characters or NPC's can be from waterleafs though. But for now, let's start at Fireflies.

@pokemad1 Oof, not to be avoided. We may or may not start without you, but you can easily jump in love. Have fun!
