Currently I am going to close this to people who have not already expressed interest in the thread. If there is an opening, this message will self-destruct disappear.

Here is the IC thread.


Story: A small group of humans and monsters band together to keep the inn running and try to re-establish the power of Guests (monsters/spirits).

Setting: A magical realism world that's a modern alternate version of Japan. Pretty heavy Japanese mythological influences, but the inn and to a lesser degree the world can have other influences. There are special "doors" in the real world that let the inn guests come and go, but humans have to get special permission or accidentally use one the same time as a Guest. Doors can be windows, doors, ponds, trash cans, and your mom things like crawling under the right desk.

Premise: Parallel to the human world, there's a spirit world with a giant fucking inn that houses all manner of mythical creatures, spirits, and whatnot. Why? Humans and large-scale industrialization have squeezed the mythical folk out of their homes. With cell phones and street cameras, they can no longer hide and can't risk being seen or recorded.

Now, with the inn getting crowded, they have to figure out how to get people to believe in them and their power again without getting "caught" and forced to integrate with humans (in other words, their power lies in being known, but untouchable and unfindable). So a human or two seeing them is fine, but fifteen seeing them and them being recorded is not.

How do they get around unseen right now? Human suits (note: usually not made from real humans).


Rules: 1. I only need 4 humans. If you play a human, you can also play a monster at full or part-time. You can have no more than 2 characters to start with, but you might be able to add more later.
2. No godmodding, Mary-Sueing, or making things terribly convenient. Life is inconvenient for everyone, even spirits.
3. If you're not posting with the flow of traffic, you'll get one or two warnings and then your characters get dropped. PM me if you've got some major meltdown happening and we'll make arrangements.
4. If you're being a jerk to me or anyone else, or disobeying site rules, you get booted. Keep the adult bits within your age group and in the appropriate places.
5. Please avoid generic or oft-used creatures, or half-human hybrids. So no vampires, fairies, general ghosts, werewolves, etc. I am looking for creatures like yurei, wendigos, tengu, thunder birds, cecaelia, etc. Please no sexy catgirls, etc.
6. Posts should be a solid two or more paragraphs barring special circumstances.

Once I get a good number of posts, I'll start accepting people and get the IC thread up. You'll see the link here when it's ready.

Oh! I'll be working on a post right now. Sorry for the wait >_<
 
@Midian would it be okay if I discard Shigure as I have lost interest as playing as him.
 
So currently we're waiting on posts from everyone except myself, DanaSaur, and Falcon. Unless you directly need someone else to post so you can, there isn't a specific "turn" or order. So it looks like we're still waiting on posts from @Roose Hurro and @Wingless_Angel , although I'll post regardless on Sunday.
 
Woah... didn't get any "Alerts" on this! So thanks for the heads-up. Will see about my post.......

Well yeah I just thought t'd be better if someone could help her or go with her, but I can.
 
Well, if @Wingless_Angel is gone, then she might have to. And, too, people in wheelchairs generally don't need anyone to push them, so I think it works out fine.
 
@Sasha Bliss
No colored text in the posts please. I'm on the light grey background and can barely see that particular color. ^_^
If it helps I can give you a screen shot so you can see what it looks like?

Also, as a mod, I'm supposed to remind you not to put OOC comments in IC posts. ^_^ They'll scold me if i don't
 
okay so now your text is white which also doesn't work on the light grey. Did you select the de-format button?
It's the first one in the upper left corner of your text editor that looks like an underlined "T" with a "x" right next to it. ^_^
