Chatterbox: Inkwell

first RP!

Crumbling and overgrown since the late sixties, the only thing most people ever see of the Hillside Motel is the neon sign, unlit for the past few decades. The Hillside Motel, or what remains of it, is nestled deep in the forest somewhere between Mount Vernon and Stanwood. It lies on a short strech of the pacific highway called Bonnieview Road. From there, you can see both Snohomish and Skagit County, their riches and wonders lying bare and free.

The sign has, of course, been dark for years and years. 

Until now.

The neon light has, somehow, returned. The Motel is, somehow, refurbished. And slowly but surely, guests arrive at the Hillside Motel. They have seen the sign. And it has, for lack of a better term, opened up their eyes. So the guests come. Alone, or in groups. Walking, crawling, eager, sullen. In trucks hailing from Montana, in Dodge Caravans from Spokane. On foot. Hitchers and bored Nepo babies from Seattle. Prince or Pauper, Knight or Knave, the same thing awaits all guests. A key to a room with two beds, a radiator, and a televison that has cable on it. Free access to the pool. And a discount if they order from Little Caeser's. 

And, of course, there are many tales that one could tell about the Hillside motel, the strange folk who visited it, and the odd things that take place there, even to this day...

OKAY! i haven't done any roleplays since before my two year hiatus, so i might need a little help! pretend you're helping your grandfaher set up an email, but instead of helping your grandfather set up an email you're helping a nonbinary teenager set up a roleplay.

okay, so it's nothing like that first thing i said at all.

i'm gonna be pretty laissez faire, you can do whatever, as long as it isnt HORRIBLE.

interesting characteristics (okay, so i'm kind of going for a sort of "macabre" aesthetic. it'd be nice if any interesting characteristics fit in the general aesthetic, like, your characters don't have to be completely human, but, like, "wolf ears" would not fit in the aesthetic the way, say, pitch black eyes would.):

would you describe your character as melancholic, phlegmatic, chloeric, or sanguine:

It's time for me to shamelessly self promote!

if you've read or assisted in playing the terminal, this happens in the same universe! if you haven't read it, go do it. PLEASE??!!! (http://www.cricketmagkids.com/chatterbox/inkwell/node/553341)

if you've read my short fiction in the random writing thread, (in which case, your name is celineburningbright, huge shout out to celine for giving me more positive input than i deserve) this is in the same universe as that too! you don't actually have to go read that stuff. 

i was going to write under an SI, but then i posted a question about how RP's work in the random thought/things like some RUBE
