I have power back ladies and gents! The storms last night knocked about my block for a good few hours. Good thing it's not a bloody furnace outside or I would've melted into a puddle of human goo this morning.
We do have storms, but not till later - fun fun!

@Ozerath - Great, I'll be getting to Kyle's banner as well when I'm officially home.

@Redrum - Oh, I guess that makes quite a few waiting on me. Well, I have a couple days off so I'll have proper time to get my post out.
YES!
I live in Central and we're supposed to have more storms?
I haven't checked. But last night it all went South of us and I was kind of disappointed. Ah well.
With how insufferably humid and hot it is though, not to mention clear-skies, I doubt it.
Good, that's promising! Work today is unbearably slow, I blame this god awful heat. Yay Texas.
Goodness, nearly twenty-four hours and nothing? Nuh uh.

Don't forget the golden rule here - another friendly reminder to keep us updated - that's all we ask.

Anyways, I have two days off to myself starting tomorrow. I'm almost dumbfounded on what to do - other than write, sure. But it's rare for one day, much less two, maybe I'll sleep for twelve hours straight.


are you insane like me?
been in pain like me?


It's always raining and the nights are always lit - a glow - it's a acrid smog, a choking existence, a deluged method, and a conceptual depravity. In that consensus, it is nothing else but Home. We thrive here, in these badlands, the city that sired our downward spiral and succored our destructive whims and qualms where darkness lurks and festers, where shadows soothe and cajole wounds of mental ache and psychological threat. With all the seeding woe of the Badlands, it performs much as a parasitic companion and anchors one in body and soul to the asphalt and spires eternally lit. How could one leave this, Hell Heaven, behind?

As the title is written, this is a modern setting, taking place in a adorably chaotic city dubbed the Badlands by the denizens trapped within our fictional tale. You can generally compare aesthetics and construction to any majour city, as a concrete environment isn't needed with the previous visions in mind, the Badlands can be anything. And it is. The Badlands didn't receive the moniker by being a cheeky attraction or a misleading debut, the Badlands are bad. Children and adolescents are welcomed and convinced to partake in pain numbing desires and their masters and elders are merely washed out shades of uniform grey, reeling from the choices made in their younger selves. All who thrive and die in the Badlands are chaotic souls and creatures of pain, they agonize and feel with a profound energy of empathy that cripples, despairs and often leads to short lives.

The plot structure focuses on character interaction and development, thus multiple perspectives will be required along side the main cast. The genre is titled as modern but deceptively is not just for whims, and will be discussed within depth. Perhaps there is a supernatural method and vice to the Badlands - who knows. The overall emotion of Collide is to be riddled with angst, heartache - which entitles to romance as well - and various twists and turns to increase the structure of the characters. The goal of the plot is to survive, live and, eventually, escape to a better life - if such is ever possible. In that, it can be considered to flop between day-to-day life but a series of events will prevent stagnation by our collaborated efforts.

Our characters will, eventually, find one another. As these stories usually carry on, and it's through each other - be it platonic, romantic, etc. - that they can only thrive. As previously mentioned, multiple perspectives will debut alongside these, but the primary cast will be the foci into the depths of the Badlands. Further discussion of course will follow to develop the timelines and events and character creation.

You can't wake up, this is not a dream. You're part of a machine, you are not a human being. With your face all made up, living on a screen. Low on self esteem, so you run on gasoline.

@Ozerath - Of course, if you can post for one, go ahead, in some circumstances one might not be able to post for all characters. I want that luxury myself, hah!
I updated Monika's sheet to reflect the newer format, bedecked with a crown symbol and changed her dialouge colour and such to a lesser tone of blue that better matches the tone of her disposition. I've also gotten around to selecting a casual theme - out of so many - and included a bit of trivia. Ollie and Mags will follow up with similar changes.
Finals should be coming around to an end for some, that's the situation around here at least, but we shall see. Maybe some activity will pick up in the next couple days. Anyways, here's to a hopefully better Tuesday! It has been a week since my last post so I'll aim to begin my next submission today and follow into tomorrow.
Hell all of them could work honestly. Some variety to work with at least.
