Mr. Marson,
Please accept my apology for the panicked nature of this message. I know you're not due to carry another shipment until April. But something has come up, and six months is too long to wait. Station B-698 needs equipment and other supplies, and obviously our people out there aren't going to find what they need on Pluto's surface. The supplies will need to be underway in two weeks time to get there in a timely manner. Money is no object to our creditor. And speaking of, he is insistent that a personal representative of his accompany the ship to the station. He says to assure you that his representative will not get in the way.
Thank you, and again I apologize for the suddenness of this request, as well as the inconvenience.
Yours,
Whitney Jones, Secretarial Associate, Foresight Industries

Where Walls Wither is a detailed horror RP. Think a mixture of Firefly and Event Horizon, with a bit of Lovecraft for flavor. It will delve into the nature of fear and terror, exploring themes of isolation, powerlessness, and other such themes.
You are an employee of Reach Out Frieghts. There is something about this email that catches your eye: maybe it's the double overtime, covering terrible debt you've accrued; maybe it's the sense of adventure, drawn as you are to the deep dark emptiness of space; or maybe you're just damn curious. Whatever your reason, you agree to assist on this transport. Past reports have plotted trips to Station B-698 as taking a total of four months one way, and employees who have made one of the three supply runs before (perhaps you are one) have stated that the trip was boring but lucrative. By all accounts, it should be a simple if tedious trip out and back.
It should be.

Rules:
1) All Iwaku rules apply.
2) At the end of the day, my word is law. I'm more than happy to listen to a reason for an action, and it's certainly something I'll take into consideration should I have to make a judgement call. But I still reserve the right to make the call I think necessary.
3) I expect friendly demeanors in OOC. IC, characters bicker, argue, fight. It makes for good drama. But let's not let it bleed into the OOC. If anyone has an issue with another and they can't rectify it between themselves, PM me. I don't wanna have to address things of my own volition.
4) This is a horror RP. While I'm not going to be relying much on gore or such similar scenes, there will be scary and frightening subject matter. So don't get offended later when it happens: you were warned. It is a mature scenario; NOT sexual, but nothing I'd want children partaking in.
5) There will be NOTHING sexual in this RP. If you wanna have characters get hot and heavy, fade to black. Otherwise you'll be hearing from me. And it won't be nice.
6) I'll never outright kill your character without your permission. But this is a horror role play: expect hits to sanity and likely injury to your character. As I like to say, "All things for the good of the narrative."
7) Real life is always first. However, where possible, I still expect at least one post every two weeks at the very least. Where not possible, let me know and we will adjust.
8) Being a detailed RP, I expect 2-3 paragraphs of length, mostly free of grammatical errors.
9) Have fun.
