Premise

When you are young, you want to spread your wings to fly and fly you have; all the way to India! The land of ancient enchantment, mystery and magic. The colors, the sounds, the people; it all has drawn you in and you have opted to leave wherever you were and whatever you were doing to take an extended trip and set up residence in a long term hotel in the heart of India.

You go to school, you work, you party - you do it all or nothing at all as you just watch the sun set on this majestic land and take a breather. You have been in India anywhere from the last three to six months having the time of your life. You are set up in the Best Exotic Hotel, a rather run down but being renovated long term facility. Some days the power works, some days it doesn't. Don't count on on your net service being active at all hours and sometimes the water pipes decide to say "Screw you, you're gonna stink today," but hey, you get through it.

You are one of many young adults shacked up here at the Best Exotic. Most of the rooms are single occupancy but there are a few doubles. Doesn't really matter though, the lay out for the hotel is open with a large courtyard in the center and plenty of places of relax. You all have gotten a chance to get to know each other; some only on the surface, others on a much deeper level. Question is, what is going to happen next?

Well, only you as the guest know that and honestly, do you even know what you'll do next? Power cuts, weather, people all mix together to create some wonderful times but there are also storms on the horizon. So how will you all fare? Stick it out and grow closer? Or are some just going to say - Yeah, I'm ready to get back to regular AC and Twitter updates? Let's find out.

The doors have opened at the Best Exotic - What happens next is up to you.

This is a character driven slice of life Rp based in India. You can play someone from outside of the country living in the hotel long term or a local either working in the hotel or one of the cities many other residents. The choice is up to you.

Rooms for those living in the hotel will be assigned, in depth character sheets provided, as well as relation sheets.

Any takers?

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@Aewin @SgtEasy Yeah, I understand that, with finals and all but nearly a month since a post and over a week since a word for some when they have been online; I dunno. Figure a 30 second "have finals, be back in a week" isn't too much to ask.

Maybe open to new comers, if old comers come back and their apartment is rented out, pull a sublet thing. Like they had gone vacation or left for a family member and came back soon. Perhaps having couples move in together and take a single bedroom, which would open up more room over all.

Just tossing around ideas until @Xtreme and I finish up our colab. Once it's posted I'll time skip and we can go from there one way or another.

Growing Up | It's Anything But Simple

@Xtreme Yeah, leaning that way right now.

@SgtEasy because if she doesn't.... could you finish that so I know I am concluding right or wrong with that statement.

@Dragoknighte lmao, I may just do that at one point. Let you bring you that Iron Fist once again.

Quick word - just want to drop an uber thanks to everyone in this Rp for kicking it off so splendidly and being patient for the actual kick off since it took so long to get off the ground. The posts have been amazing, the back and forths great and the communication open and honest.

While this Rp is a monster to Gm, it is a complete joy working with such a dedicated and talented group of Rpers and I cannot wait to see what all happens. You have handled the random actions and wrath of Lady Luck swimmingly. Kudos to the entire group! You make an Old Gm happy.

Let's keep it moving and see what stories we can create as we continue. ^^

@Turnaround Amy @Universorum @Xtreme @Denny @ChaoticFox @lopsided @Aewin @SgtEasy @rougeLily

Okay, have not had word from Amy, Denny, Chaotic, Lop or Rogue since my last post asking for activity status. (Most of which have logged into the forum since that post)

So, not sure what to do. I want to push forward but wondering where to go from here. (Hushed posted clear posting requirements in the rules when we started.) - So, opinions. Push forward, open for new characters and assume inactive ones have moved out after a time jump, reboot and go with a different story line, etc.

Open for opinions and suggestions.

🦄 Duplicity - D&D Style Fantasy Rp Adventure (Completed)

I have been in my mind for the couple of days trying to figure out how to upgrade this without coming off like a complete and utter bitch. Sad thing is that I doubt how ever I put this I won't come off that way to Silverstone, if not to many. So just going to say it and let each person decide for themselves...

I am trying to keep this thing running but it is difficult when it feels like this rp is being held hostage in a sense. What I mean by that is people wait to post because they are either A) Waiting for others B) Just waiting because they can't think of anything to post C) Are waiting for something more to happen before they reply or D) Something else entirely.

Whatever the reason is, push past it. As long as two people have posted since you there is no excuse not to post. It is your job as an rper to figure pit what to post. The more you post the more I have to reply to, to lead into more stuff, to work off of to create a more rich environment for the Rp itself.

I have been far more than understanding with it comes to posting limitations with this Rp. Rules have stated since the beginning to post at least twice a week. I've let that slide time and time again, waiting on replies. We all have things but honestly I am sick of "I have nothing to respond to" or "thing came up" and to see many of you active elsewhere in the forum.

As of this post, no more. Rather this die instantly than to continue the slow strangulation. This is not up for debate. I don't want excuses, explanations, apologies, pm's or anything else.

Tomorrow I will post, I will post every 3-4 days. Those that do not post twice a week will be out. If you have real life pop up, fine. I will work with you but you have to inform me. I won't remind people to post, won't nudge, I'll just keep moving. A "don't know what to post" or "nothing to reply to" will not count as an excuse. Activity elsewhere on the forum will denote opportunity to post here.

If it is not for you, step down now, it is truly as simple as that. I cannot as a gm press things forward without Rpers posting. Characters drive this forward.

The doc merely rolled her eyes as she heard Alicia's comment; typical. The woman could never just be quiet and listen, she always had to spout something off. If it wasn't for Caesar she would have gutted her months ago. Granted being in some type of relation with Caesar didn't mean that the woman was off of her hit list, it just meant she had to play it a little smarter than usual; for the doc this wasn't an issue. She knew the woman would do something to get injured or need to be tossed out of the place. She had pushed her luck more than enough as of late. One more misstep and she could make her move. She only needed to be patient and bide her time; that she could do.

Gathering a list of things they were running low on in the Infirmary. There was the usual; gauze and the like. Then there were the more specific meds; all the things they were running low or dangerously low on. With all the wall breaches as of late people had gotten injured and their supplies were getting burned through at a higher rate than normal. These things needed to get replaced and fast.

Doc only bothered to make one list and headed for Ash and Maria. She wasn't about to deal with Alicia right then and with how she was planning out the womans death constantly in her mind; facing Caesar right then might give away what she was up to. She figured he knew that she didn't like his daughter but she kept the fact she actually wanted to gut her close to the vest. This was something that did not make good pillow talk.

"Here's the list, don't know if you will be able to locate all of it but most of it you should be able to find. If not at the usual spots, see if you can find a vet clinic. I can use the same meds for animals as I can us, just need to change the dosage," she said to Ash as she handed the list to Maria. Turning she started to walk off.

"Watch your backs, I won't be around to patch you up if you go down," she quipped before heading back towards the Medical Gardens to check on the plants and such. Glancing around she found Sid quick enough; figures he wouldn't be volunteering to head out on this one. The kid did go on runs but not these type and right then he was far more valuable in the gardens than out on a run. At least if they came back empty handed from these runs the variety of medical plants they had growing now would make a difference.

"So, how goes our little experimental drug store?" she asked Sid as she stepped over to him.

Leanna watched as everyone paired up and headed out to get prepped for the runs. She did not like having to send so many out at once but it was better than taking longer to get what they needed by only sending them out one at a time. Most of her heavy shooters were leaving, so that pretty much left her. It was going to be a long next twenty-four to forty-eight hours; especially if anything went down while the rest of the group was away. Granted everyone in town was taught how to handle themselves on one level or another thanks to Caesar but many of these people hadn't been outside of the walls in sometime, they weren't used to the onslaught that could happen anymore. People get walls they get complacent. Leann did what she could to keep everyone active but you could only press people so far before they snapped and they had no Shrink in the city. Viv was the only medical person and she was anything but in the right state of mind to be playing counselor.

Wrapping up at the meeting she headed through town, checking supplies and assignments for those left behind while the rest were going to be away. She and some others were going to be on the outer walls while most of town would be working on repairs to the outer wall. They needed to get this done as quickly as possible. It would take at least another week with their current numbers working around the clock. That wasn't good. They couldn't work around the clock, people needed rest or they dropped the guard and stupid shit happened. Last thing they needed was to lose even more people.

Leann walked out of supply and headed over to Ash; seeing Vivian walk off back towards the medical garden. She had just come up to Ash and Maria when she heard the tell tale roar of Busters Engine rev up. Her head whipping around to see who in the hell had just started that thing up. She barely was able to make out who was in the front seat as they drove passed; Alicia and James. Turning she perked a brow.

"When in the hell did they get authorization to take Buster out?" she asked, looking directly at Ash as she spoke.

Luck be a lady tonight, luck be a lady tonight, luck if you've been a lady to begin with, luck be a lady tonight....

~puts down the mic~ Excuse me, it just seemed fitting with the way things have been going as of late to try to give Lady Luck a little bit of a reason not to drop an Acme Anvil on your head out of the blue. It seems she has listened. Whether it was the serenade or something else, Luck is being a Lady tonight. For how long that lasts, no one knows. Luck is a fickle lady but for now, even with this small hoard nipping at your heals, she is being a Lady.

Jaimes little knot tying adventure seems to have worked, perhaps not as flawlessly as one would like but hey any good luck is welcome luck in a time like this. The first couple of Walkers that broke through are the first to come right up to the road block; or carpet block in this case. (Carpet Block? That sounds like a really nasty type of constipation.) Anywho, they get caught up for a bit giving each member in the group a little more time to get up the stairs and to a better vantage point.

Like with all intestinal blockages though, they all eventually give way and there is where Lady Luck decides to stop being a Lady. She slips the carpet blockage a dose of X-Lax and that bookcase comes crashing down. It pins a couple of the Walkers down underneath it but nothing major and once again the way is ready to go. It takes the hoard a bit to work its way over the obstacle but they do, two by two and work their way up the stairs. Like some twisted version of Noahs Arc. Two by Two, they're coming for you. Can you hold them off? Only time will tell.

I really cannot tell if Luck is being a Lady right now anymore or if she is just trying to screw with you; either way, things are about to get interesting. You book it down the stream and try to make it to the highway. Walkers, doing what they do, try to follow but the little creek is posing more of a problem for them than they had probably had anticipated. Granted I don't think they really anticipated anything, they just saw lunch to go and figured that they would try for a free meal. Thing is, nothing is free in this world and they have paid the cost. They're stuck.

Whoo-hoo, it seems you are home free. NOT! Noise brought Walkers to begin with, more noise had brought more. They are coming in from both sides now on the other side of the stream. This can't be good but what can you do, dealing with Walkers always causes noise even if you don't use a gun. Plus, they all seem to have this instinct to follow each other; with lemmings this is great, with Walkers, not so much.

You have a couple of options right now. You can turn back and deal with the ones in the creek and try to break through that way. You can pick a side and try to break through that way but right now you don't know if there are even more off in the woods you haven't spotted yet. All you know is the six you had left to deal with has multiplied in number four fold. Your last option is the Highway. You can see it through the trees and on that highway you can barely make out what looks to be an RV. Does it run? Do you? Time to pick a path Ladys.

You are starting to feel like a single beetle, or pair of beetles trying to outrun a fire ant colony. They are behind you, half around you and your only really exit was towards the woods and then to make your way back around to that lovely little lovers nest from before. Not a bad idea. I mean there is only two of you and a lot of them. Not much else you could do. Fighting might have taken some of them out but when it is two against one for each of the stars on the flag; things can get dicey. Running is a good choice.

Problem with old cemeteries that are along the edge of woods that haven't been tended to in a long time is over growth. Grass grows up, it covers things; things you might not see. Jonas is lucky enough to make it through the overgrowth without incident but suddenly Victoria, your foot gets snagged on something. It's a root that has upturned from the last rain and now your ankle may just be broke. Running force, sudden stop because of root and forward momentum is never fun.

Be careful trying to get it out of the root and watch your six, things could get even more dicey. You need to think fast and move quicker but that is going to be difficult with so many coming for you and chances are you just screamed your head off from pain - high chances. Get a move on before things get worse because as we all know - it can always get worse.
