Current I'm ashamed to say, if I die to a vehicle crossing the road my last thoughts will be "Holy shit, it's Truck-kun".

Who's read and remembers the Rhapsody books by Elizabeth Haydon? Still to this day one of the most interesting fantasy stories and settings I bother to remember more than a decade after reading them.

Hmmm. Idk man real gamers viciously seek and abuse any and every exploit that will give them even the slightest convenience or advantage. The math don't add up.

Just thought I'd ping those who expressed interest. Lemme know what you think.
Haha, playing off my bar idea in the Status bar eh?




Long day at work? That's not unusual, we all end up with days like those. From the construction site worker all the way to the suit and tie executive type; life can be hard on everyone. Couldn't sleep for some reason or another? That's fine, you've got a place here at the bar too, just gotta walk in through that door. The home life getting you down? I guess that's why you're here and not there on a night like this. Running from memories of the past? Chasing a future that's always at your fingertips but always just out of reach? Don't worry about those here, time stops it's relentless march in this humble little bar of mine. Stray cat that's just stopping in for a small bowl of milk and a good, long, nap? Heheh, don't worry your weary little whiskers, we'll take you too. This is the Wayward Stool, a place for those without direction or a refuge of their own. A pit stop for the lost souls that wander the streets, stepping between the lights in the endless darkness of a cold and lonely night. Come on in, warm your bones, and stay as long as you like.

You see it there, amidst the cold light of a street lamp on this particularly rainy and miserable night, the warm glow of a place you won't be alone. You're not quite sure why, but you just know that's where you're supposed to go. Looking up the way you were going only revealed to you more of the same dreary loneliness you'd already suffered from for far too long. Behind you, all the things you were running from at the start, waiting ever patiently for you to come back as they followed you no matter how far you went. Just across the street, nothing but the now familiar urban sprawl that loomed over you since your journey had begun. But, right here next to you, was an open invitation that you just couldn't pass up. So, instead of continuing your never ending march of isolation, you decide to take the plunge, you open that unlocked door and make your way inside.

Relief sets in as the tension from your aching muscles begins to ease, the warmth of dimly lit room seeps into your bones. The atmosphere around you is calm, quiet, with an oddly familiar sounding slow jazz tune drifting softly through the still air. The floors were a clean redwood, not quite polished but clearly maintained with an obvious touch of love. The walls from the floor to about a third of the way up were a darker hickory planning that gave way to plaster painted a soft tan. The ceiling was constructed of the same dark stained hickory as the paneling that framed the room, a domed rectangular skylight cut across most of the ceiling to reveal the rainy night sky above. Occasionally, the passing lights of a silent train danced through the bar, filtering in from the skylight above. The layout of the room was simple. In the furthest corner sat a small bar with a handful of stools and a white marble top, cushioned seats stretching across the wall behind the stools, chairs and tables set with lit candles to accommodate those without a seat at the bar. To the opposite end, was a long wooden bar top where drinks could be served and the ashtrays sat, allowing those who smoked to do their business while not disturbing those patrons who did not partake.

Taking this all in, your eyes eventually drift back to the small granite topped bar in the corner. Behind that bar stood a tall man, an older gentleman with long back hair slicked back and meticulously combed in a way as to be presentable. gracing his chin and cheeks were a well groomed and trimmed if not a little greying beard. He wore a fine white button up shirt tucked into tailored black slacks, sleeves rolled to his elbows as he busied himself with polishing his glass mugs. Over his shirt rested a black suit vest with a tasteful black silken tie tucked underneath. Now with your attention finally on him, the man gives you a warm smile and a nod of the head.

"Welcome, stranger, to the Wayward Stool."





Hello there, wandering souls. Welcome to the Wayward Stool, a place where you can rest your weary feet and have yourself a drink. There are no real demands of you here, that's why you found yourself in this rustic little bar of mine. The Wandering Stool is a space for the lost of soul who want to find a connection, be it short or long. You needn't be any one person, nor any discernible thing. My bar is where you end up when all you want to do is write, no questions asked. You can talk to the bar keep, you can nurse your drinks in a content silence and allow the slow jazz drifting through the air steal away your troubles like a butterfly on a warm summer breeze. That, is the Wayward Stool. If you give me and others enough to work with and effectively interact with you and your character, then that's all you need to do. You don't need to make long, convoluted, detailed character sheets that will only occasionally be looked at once in a blue moon, the weight is in what you write and you're allowed to be as ambiguous of a person as you please. Think of it like looking through frosted glass, it's as opaque or clear as you make it. While I won't demand certain "standards" per-say, I will however request you keep it at the "casual" level of writing. You don't need to make a multiple dozens of paragraph posts but you should also strive for more than just few non-descriptive lines. Other than that, the Wayward Stool is your creative canvas, enjoy the freedom and simplicity of the setting and please don't go out of your way to drum up unnecessary drama. This is supposed to be a relaxing place!
The Saab JAS 39 Gripen is the sexiest fighter change my mind.
She did what?!
Bump
Updated!
Alright! Yes, hello! Nice to meet you! This is going to be my first attempt at starting a 1x1 interest check. As time goes on I'll naturally be updating it with new information, ideas, and cravings.

"Requirements" (more a polite request really)

- I'd like to see at least a decent paragraph, if things just won't stretch then at least give me more to work with than "And he/she ate an apple while looking at you". I can go anywhere from a paragraph to a multi-paragraph megapost, it just depends on who I'm writing with and how I'm feeling about the story.

- Please be at least 18 years of age. This is a thing of comfort.

- If you're done or don't wanna continue that's fine, I won't hold it against you if you happen to vanish into the æther.

- Don't ask me to play a Canon character from a fandom. I won't do it and I won't entertain the idea.

-Be prepared for 18+ content, sex, drugs, violence, foul language ect. Fair warning I like to smut as much as a lonely housewife reads trashy romance novels.

-Romantic pairings will be FxM however I'll happily play a platonic MxM pairing though I do typically main Male characters but can play supporting female characters well enough.

-PLEASE contact me via PM, it's the easiest way for me to keep track of people.

That's about it!






My "Pairings"; Most of these I'm willing to play either role, the exceptions are those bolded and underlined, indicating that being the role I would prefer.



Got some ideas here:

GATE: Thus the JSDF Fought There style Soldier/s x Fantasy creature setup type deal. If that is your thing, ask and we can work something for it out.

Bounty Hunter x Bounty Hunter (Sci-Fi, Modern, Historical, or Fantasy)
Human x Monster Girl (Anything is cool with me)
Aspect of death x Human/sentient humanoid (Aspect is based very heavily on LoL's Kindred Specifically their quotes.)
Pirate x Spacer/Marine (Sci-Fi)
Starship Captain x Pirate (Sci-Fi)
Monster Hunter x Monster [NOT THE GAME] (Modern, Fantasy, Historical, Sci-Fi)
[Note: I'm not looking for your usual werewolves, vampires, ect. dynamic with this one]
Human x Faun/Satyr***** Really want this one.
Adventurer x Rich Benefactor (Fantasy)
Shopkeeper x Adventurer (Fantasy)
Shopkeeper x mysterious Customer (Fantasy)
Artificer x Adventurer (Fantasy)
Deity x Mortal Artisan (Fantasy)
Artisan x Adventurer (Fantasy)
Monster Farmer x ??? (Fantasy & Sci-Fi)
Rich Benefactor x Merchant Captain (Sci-Fi)
Penal Colonists (Sci-Fi)
Penal Colonist x Corporate Security (Sci-Fi)
Penal Colonist x Offworld Mercenary (Sci-Fi)
Offworld Mercenaries (Sci-Fi)
Starship Crewman x Ship Officer (Sci-Fi)
Starship Captain x Second in Command (Sci-Fi)
Slaver x Navy officer/commander (Sci-Fi)
Slaver x Navy Sailor/Marine (Sci-Fi)
Slaver x Highborn individual (Sci-Fi)
Slaver x Merchant Captain (Sci-Fi)

Plot/Pairing/Setting Combos!



Trials in Tainted Space:
If you know what this is and want to play as a whole lot of aliens, just say so. We'll make it happen.

Nobleman/Wealthy merchant who happens to be a collector of the exotic. Exotic tea, exotic spices, exotic clothes. But, his true passion is the collection of exotic servants and pets, some more sentient than others. I'd like to explore a plot and setting that leans heavily into servitude and the ownership of a people/creatures that are very much sentient. On the face this is about slavery but I don't intend on it being the usual "dynamic" you'd have in a roleplay of that type. If you're alright or even interested in these themes hit me up about it and we can discuss the details! (NOTE: THIS CAN BE FANTASY OR SCI-FI)

This is by no means an exhaustive list. Play off these ideas and pairings to your heart's content. I would like to emphasize that I am open to idea suggestions.




General genres I adore are SciFi, steam, diesel, and cyberpunk. historical, historical fantasy, general fantasy, sci-fantasy, slice of life, Crime/Noir, modern fantasy, post apocalypse, dystopia/utopia, ect.

With that in mind, I'm all up for solicitations on any of the above genres if you have pairings and plots you'd like to try out. Just send a PM and start a conversation.




Alright, I think that's it for now. I'm always open to new ideas so please feel free to throw your ideas my way!

-Updated Coming back after a heck of a hiatus, did a few updates!
