Back then when Microsoft was awesome for making XP and 7... and now trolling us with 10. >__>

Not like Apple is any better, either. Well, competition is fierce and they are too fixated trying to get their profitable gain float on top of all their opponents to care about the (petty but important) complains from consumers to actually improve their products rather than in a hurry to roll out new (but defective) stuff every year.

Mind Labyrinth

a Mental Asylum roleplay

^{{ ??? & @tsukune }}

Main Theme

"A casual stroll through the lunatic asylum shows that faith does not prove anything."

< The Story >

On the outskirts of a certain bustling metropolitan city stood an abandoned hospital institution that was built during the warring period centuries ago; it was later bought by an anonymously rich individual, who remodeled the place into a sanctuary that welcome those minds who were expelled from the cruel world of normality.

A chanced encounter between two broken souls set the forbidden wheels of the underworld into motion - beyond the pristine white walls harbored a dark bloody secret, and the thin thread of their bond and life would be put to the ultimate test in the face of an unknown horror that awaited them...

The World

An abandoned Gothic-style cathedral that has been remodeled into a mental institution. This clash of old and new, the past and present, the real and surreal... The perfect ingredients to make a thrilling horror roleplay. Don't disappoint me.

The Cast

We can do the oh-so-typical pairing thing of doc x patient, then you get some angsty juicy romance, which can further escalate to smut and BDSM... even turning up the heat with yaoi/yuri fantasies.

Or just forget about those dumb presets and work on good ol' character development with complex characterization to give more horrifying depths to the game.

The Theme

Angst, drama, horror, mystery, thrill, mindfucks... This is a roleplay where our characters will be pushed beyond their limits - both physically and psychologically - as they try to survive (maybe even escape) from the unknown terrors of this seemingly normal asylum. Mature themes everywhere. Seriously not for the weak-hearted souls.

The Style

Advanced level - no one-liners; proper spelling, grammar, punctuation, sentence structure and paragraphing... yada yada. Be open to collaborative writing, especially for action scenes and heavy, continuous dialogue exchanges. Most importantly, be prepared for loads of tortures and character deaths.

Due to the nature of this game, depending on the intensity it can be done in PM instead of public thread.

Demigods of the Dawn

Mosaic of the Muses

^{{ ??? & @tsukune }}

Main Theme

When the song of calamity makes its call,
The children of darkness shall rise above all.
Hand in hand they will raze their fate,
And triumph over the dawn of late.

< Introduction >

When the Muses lose their godly symbols, that plunges the world into a stale gloom... And not even Camp Half-Blood is spared from the aftermath. A group of unlikely demigods - descendants of the minor gods and goddesses - come together in search for the lost items, while also battling against the growing darkness hidden deep within their very soul...

Demigods of the Dawn

Chain of Harmonia

^{{ ??? & @tsukune }}



Ye shall cross over the rift of space,
For love, for war, ye will face.
The chain of curse is set ablaze,
And the land lies in the wake of faze.

P R E M I S E

< Introduction >

The adventures of Percy Jackson and his girlfriend-turned-wife Annabeth Chase may have ended as they move on to settle down with a family, but the story is far from over...

Camp Half-Blood has been expanding at an alarming rate to accommodate cabins for the children of the minor gods and goddesses, but the discrimination against them from the descendants of the main Olympian deities still rages on. When Hephaestus sends two lesser demigods on a suicide quest to retrieve a cursed necklace, little do they know that they are been thrown into an ugly emotional war between three gods, each harbors a dark agenda that may change the fate of Camp Half-Blood once more...

And so, a new journey begins with two unlikely demigods. Can they set their differences aside and triumph over the terrible ending that awaits them, or will they crumble to their sad destiny?

|| Toby & Meg Yazawa ||

Other than the little hiccup with the girl called Irvette, the rest of the lesson went smoothly without further fuss. Everything was going well so far... Maybe he would be able to live a normal human life even with this cursed condition for eternity. Still, he knew he couldn't be complacent and let down his guard yet. Keeping the vampire's natural thirst for blood in check would be a struggle he had to deal with for the rest of his long, immortal life. Also, he had to be wary of those who were like Irvette, with observation skill too sharp for their own good.

For one, he had to hold back his insane speed and strength - gathering up his books as slowly as he could, and trying to blend in with the other students as they all walked out of the room. Everyone around him seemed to be occupied with their own friends and personal commitments to spare a thought for him.

Today was probably a good day for him. Even better that he didn't have any classes in the afternoon, which meant that he had the rest of his day off... away from the humans, and do some hunting to silence the itchiness in his throat.

He continued his slow stroll out of the university grounds and headed to his car - a typical Subaru model. He had decided against going to school in a sports car, since he didn't want to attract any more unwanted attention on him, on top of his... ungodly appearance. Slipping into the vehicle, he reclined back into the leather seat and let out a sigh, when the mobile in his pocket vibrated against his thigh.

He pulled the phone out, his brows furrowed at the message:

Bet you're near your limit. Also, bears are in season.

Toby scowled. While he knew he wasn't stable enough to be left alone, but this overprotectiveness from her was rubbing the shadow of his rebellious, human teen self the wrong way, making him feel a little suffocated.

...Damn it.

---

Hidden a little way in the coniferous forest on the outskirts of the town, the Subaru car pulled up before a white modern cottage. Toby stepped out of the vehicle and looked up at his... home. With his only family from hereon.

"...How long are you going to stand there gaping like an idiot?"

He was snapped out of his thoughts at the sound of a stern female voice. His sight fell on the willowy figure of Meg Yazawa at the door, with her arms crossed before her chest. He blinked, and she flashstepped to stand right in front of him. She was at least a head shorter than him, clad in figure-hugging dark green jumpsuit.

"A-Ah, Meg--"

"It's rude to call your elders by first name," Meg commented with narrowed eyes. "After all, I'm your lifesaver, and the only one who can guide you through the darkness to find your light."

Toby averted Meg's stare. "Sorry, sister."

"Sister? Shouldn't you be calling me 'Mum'?"

Toby frowned at the lady. "You look too young to be a mother, even if you're... Nevermind," he trailed off, realizing what he was about to say.

Meg gave him a smirk, then turned around to walk back to the house. "I'm not so petty to get angry over something trivial as age, when time no longer mattered to our kind." Glancing at him from the corner of her eye, she added, "Let's go and get some dinner... before the night falls."

Toby scratched the back of his head, annoyed. Meg was as cryptic as ever - he wondered how much she had seen living for more than a century, to make her give off such an indifferent air in her manners and speech.

Would he become more like her as time went by?

Then you are reading with the wrong type of RPers! ;)

@Gowi

Lol.

I should clarify that I'm not against back-and-forth style. Sometimes players need a break from collabs to do solo writing to develop their own characters in some ways, but in scenes with heavy actions or dialogues, back-and-forth isn't great with the flow.

@Crumbs
Dat green. Mah eyes. T_T

@shylarah *mega-glomps back*

RPing has helped me to improve my writing - specifically characterization. It's only when I collaborate with other writers and allow my characters to interact with other player characters for me to experiment, to test how well my character can work in settings that are not in my control. The rest is like Shoryu has said, to see how well I understand, how fleshed out my character is. It's just like interacting with people IRL. In fact, we can see real life as a RP game itself: we're playing the roles of our own self, interacting with others we cannot control, and the GM being... someone up there. XD

And... I am a huge fan of collabs, largely because of me being more used to novel-style writing, so the reading flow and rhythm in a post is very important to me. I find a lot of back-and-forth writing feels choppy and awkward to read, and I understand that in RP god-modding and whatnot are generally frowned upon, so collab help to smooth out the flow while allowing various players to move their characters accordingly without going into those forbidden tactics.

Good to know... If I had an interest in writing a story outside of mine, or I actually had enough of my notes sorted to be able to work on drafts for my story, I'd likely be taking on that challenge monthly.

@Shoryu Magami

Actually, NaNo is an annual challenge and specifically in the month of November, but you can also go for Camp NaNo which happens twice (one in April, and the other in July), which means you can take up to three challenges each year. :)

Playing GodEater 1.
It feels like a more refined version of FreedomWars hmmmm, just a little less chara creativity

@Pudding

^ This reminds me that I need to do something to complete God Eater 2: Rage Burst, lol.

<Insert Name; Will Edit Once Not Busy> {Hang-out Thread}

@Gowi has made me realize that I can never compete anyone when it comes to fan collection of the things they enjoy. The only complete collection I have for anything is the full set of all seven Harry Potter books, and that's about it. The rest of the stuff I own are scattered items across various media and franchise: a standard grade model of Gundam Virtue I got it for free during the 30th Gundam Anniversary fair held in my region some years ago, odd volumes of the collector's copy of Tsubasa Reservoir Chronicle manga I got for 100 yen each in Japan last year, and a few other random stuff I forgot where I kept them, lol.

...Well, I don't have that much money to indulge myself in such personal trophies on top of my essential daily expenses. I'm just a poor college student. XD

As for "elitism"; it's been brought to my attention over the years that this term gets tossed out very haphazardly. While I don't agree with elitism, people have tried to use the label on me in the past for no reason outside of my dislike of people who lack conviction or don't show any class. These are the types of people who would call a GM an "elitist" for not letting them into their role-play, or the types of people who would call us "elitists" for not tolerating those idiots in the "bitchfest" thread several days back.

@Shoryu Magami

Well, 'cause they are sore losers who can't choose their battle wisely.
As the Ancient Chinese saying goes. "There will always be another mountain higher than this mountain." There are always someone better than ourselves, so let's not get carried away by our own inflated, swollen pride.

But honestly, no one is absolutely right or wrong about things in this world - I mean, what exactly is the right answer if we don't know the context to derive at that conclusion? In a RP, the GM has the final say; in the society, the majority or the one with the highest authority has the final say. Anyone can challenge them only if you're prepared to face the consequences for doing so, rather than calling people names when you don't have what it takes to face defeat.
