Chatterbox: Inkwell

Detective RP! 

I'm a little nervous. Tell me if it's a good idea or not. =)

The scene is set in a diner,  on the Oregon coast. (For our purposes here: cold, mist, mysterious-feeling.) It is actually DUM DUM DUM . . . .

A conference for undercover detectives. (I feel like this is reallysuperreallyreallyextremelylamewith- asidehelpingofridiculouspleaseforgivemeifit'sreallylameIcan'thelpit.) These detectives are usually acting separately and despise each other. However, they are acting together on a big job that none of them could carry out on their own. There is a lot of friction between characters. This friction finally grows into ONE BIG ARGUMENT. In the middle of this, the diner is held up by a couple of masked gunmen. 

Describe your character- here's the beauty; it can be a robber or a detecive! Here are mine.

My Robber: 

Name: Mark Meirson

Age: 20

Appearance: messy black hair that stick out in all directions, really light blue -almost grey- eyes, and he is very skinny. Usual attire including sweater with shirt collar sticking out, and maroon skinny jeans. He wears very small rectangular-framed glasses. But his 'robber attire' includes- black hoodie, black jeans, and a black ski mask with his glasses worn over it in a comical way. He bought fake gold chains from a convenience store to look more 'thugish' but little does he know, they actually have beads on them spelling 'Happy New Year!' on them.

Attitude: can be a little bratty with his (few) friends, and is generally very bossy in a nasal, whiny sort of way. But in this seen he is just nervous. Being nervous makes his yappy, and talk a lot.

Backround: well, really, his reason for robbing the diner; he is in dire need for money for college. He doesn't actually plan on firing the gun, but because he is so nervous, his hands start getting sweaty and his finger slips on the trigger. This shot can either wound somebody or not (but please no killing, 'kay?)

Weapons: his father's gun, but he is an aweful shot. The first time it went off he was terrified at the noise, and was partially deaf for over twenty minutes.

My Detective:

Name: Nymph 'Nym' Clearwater -yeah, it's kind of a pun.

Age: 15

Appearance: short just past chin-length hair turning in towards her face at the ends, that used to be blond but now is pretty much brown. It has a streak of dark blue in it. Light blue eyes that kind of look like cracked ice. She has kind of pointy features -- eyes that are upturned at the corners, an upturned snobbish nose, a pointy chin. She has a very faint scar above her left eyebrow, and another on her hand that she insists was from a female bank robber, but actually was from an accident at home with her little brother (comical -- not sad.) She is tall, wears light jeans and peacoat with a pin on it reading 'peripheral visionary' she has a black beret that is never really on her head because she always takes it off to make points.

Attitude: intelligent, sarcastic, witty, smart-mouthed. She always has to have a comeback, whether it is really the smart thing to do in the situation. She can fight, and carries a weapon more often than not. She is not bull-headed about a fight; meaning, if there are eight full-grown men with knives against her, who is holding a toilet paper roll, she'll do the smart thing -- run.

Backround: raised in a nice house with her kind mother and annoying but cute 10 year old brother. Her father disappeared when she was five, and she became a detective because she wanted to A: find him, obviously, and B: take vengeance on the punks who took him. But she also takes other cases, not just the ones with a personal vendetta going for them. She dropped out of school and moved into a pretty scrappy little apartment on the bad side of town. She is still on good terms with her mother, but  . . .  She is the type who cares a lot about her reputation. Nym is somewhat ashamed of her happy backround, and will not for the life of her tell anyone else in the business about it.

Weapons: She is very good with a gun, and that is the weapon she generally carries. She also knows martial arts. 

Gosh, that was long!

Anyway, are there any rules I'm not aware of? When you post a part of the story, is there like a rotation or something-?

Also . . . Admins, is it okay that I have gun stuff in here? I don't mean it to be a violent story, but I understand if it has too much of a violent theme. 

Our preference is to avoid violence, especially guns and anything that is, sadly, too much like the real world. We reserve the right to delete anything that is too graphic.
