Eastwood Regional High: Senior Year is a collaborative storytelling attempt in relation to a group of adolescents during their senior of high school. It aims to showcase the individual livelihoods and experiences of these students, including but not limited to their hobbies, their cliques, their families, etc. as they wrap up their final year of schooling. The roleplay, once the core group is formed, will begin start initially at the beginning of the school year and progress from there. Events, such as holidays, school outings (dances and sport matches, for instance), etc., will be set up and led by the GM team, acting as a sort of "chapters" to indicate advancement throughout the year.

It has a populace of around 11,000, and is about roughly forty minutes from Newark, New Jersey and New York, New York.

The school's colors are a vibrant blue-gold, and their mascot a royal knight. It is well-funded, with numerous extracurriculars and electives for students to choose from ranging from secondary languages to seasonal sports to even specialized college courses. These electives have given the school a storied and well-respected history, with Eastwood being recognized for academic excellence and also numerous championship victories over the years.

You do not need to among the brightest, nor do you have to be of a particular social class. Eastwood Regional is a public school, with a small fraction of the student body able to receive either free or reduced-fee lunch. The school encourages everyone to attend, regardless of class, ability or otherwise.

Hey y'all. This is more of a feeler if anything; something to test the waters. I haven't seen much SoL roleplays around the block lately, and it has been awhile since the guild has had an academy/school roleplay on the site. I've been wanting to develop Eastwood more into an actual setting rather than being a simple backdrop for a prior, unrelated roleplay, so I started working on this in hopes there might be any interest out there but also a reason for myself to be more active on the guild in general.

If you've got any questions, concerns or whatever, lemme know below. I'll try to get back to you ASAP.

"That's fine with me."

AJ moved to Bryan's side, where he and a few other kids had been waiting to play. Despite the dangers outside, a part of AJ honestly wanted to have fun right now. She had loved soccer, and she could only think of her friends and team back home. It had been some time since AJ had heard from them; at least before they had left for vacation. But that had been a month ago, back during a time when the dead weren't eating people. Were they okay? Had... whatever this was reached their home in New Jersey?

She didn't know. There was no way she could know for certain. All AJ could do was remain hopeful that her fears, as much as they were real on this island, weren't elsewhere. Hopefully, she dearly wished, everyone was still alive back home.

Before their game could truly begin, though, one of the older kids in their group suggested heading off to some arcade beyond the walls. They swore that they had snuck inside the night before, and that there hadn't been any zombies nearby. Jason seemed to be willing to go, but AJ hadn't been so willing as he had been.

"I..."

AJ paused.

"I don't know."

Though the others were likely to see her as a coward, she felt uncomfortable with the idea. It wasn't like sneaking out of your bedroom window to go hang with friends or a boyfriend. Even if the arcade was empty of zombies, who was to say they wouldn't come back? If they got caught, there was no way they were going to be able to fight off a pack of zombies.

"I don't think we should. What if one of us got hurt?"

Epic: "We're changing the V-buck monetization scheme because Fortnite is too expensive and we need help paying the bills".
Also Epic: "For several days to promote C7S2, SAC earnings for creators are tripled!"

Bro, you're either broke or not, and given you're a multi-billion dollar company pumping out collab after collab, I doubt you're broke.

What Are You Listening To?

A short way to introduce myself

Welcome to the guild, @Blindman1970.

Roleplay is essentially collaborative storytelling. You create a character and write from their viewpoint and bounce off what others have wrote. It's like a group project where each section works off the other parts all to tell a story.

Hello hello

Welcome to the guild, @coruscant.

With her mother's approval, AJ left Kaitlyn and her mother alone and went to go hang out with the others—a group of fellow kids somewhere around her age, give or take a few years. As she approached the group, the first one to greet her had been Bryan, a boy that had only been a year younger than her. The two of them had played together here and there, though admittedly AJ hadn't known much about him.

He did seem nice, though.

"Hey Bryan," AJ replied. She pushed the worried thoughts of her father away, and forced a friendly smile. "I'm doing alright. How about you?"

It had been a total lie. There was absolutely no way she was doing fine. There was no way any of them could claim they were. Certainly not the adults, much less the kids. How many of them had lost a friend or a family member in the chaos? They all had been witness to the carnage that took place, and were lucky just enough to be alive.

But maybe a friendly soccer match could help calm the nerves—something to distract AJ from the very real threat outside those walls, but also her father's whereabouts.

"Sure," AJ answered. "I can play for a bit. Whose team am I on?"
