Also: Sam put, and is putting, a lot of work and time into this blog. We and her would really appreciate it if people would message her their characters info, so that this character would be included in the character blog. Special thank you to Sam for making this lovely blog.

I think it's time we had the talk about depression. I understand that people are going through a lot in their personal lives, but when you're constantly complaining in the OOC chat, it turns people off on wanting to come online. I know me, myself, I have a hard time logging on because I hate seeing so much sadness. RPing is an out for me. And seeing people be so negative all the time really brings me down. It's triggering. So can we maybe tone down the depression in the ooc blog and be happy?

I may have to leave this roleplay because I feel very uncomfortable. No one really interacts with my characters and it seems pointless.

Wed, 22 May 2013 19:43:51 -0400

I’m very sorry you feel that way. I can assure you that if your characters are being ignored, it’s not on purpose. (Everyone make sure you reply to open starters as well as making your own. It’s like the questions problem. You have to ask questions to get questions)

We’d love for you to stay for a bit longer and see if anything changes, but if you wish to leave I’d like to ask for you to message off anon.

Your Name & Age: Shaylagh & 16
Character desired: Zendaya Arroyo
Face Claim: Ksenia Solo
Activity (1-10): 7? 8?

Have you read the rules?: Fish Fingers and Custard

Time Zone: est
Sample( 2+ paragraphs):

The wooden floor boards creaked beneath the weight of the old man’s feet. He slowly shuffled across the room. Taking short huffs with every leg movement, he made his way to a chair. Plopping down into the leather padding of the old recliner, he took a sigh of relief. Moving around this much was getting difficult. A few months prior to now he thought it must be one of the faults that came with old age. But after a few weeks, the back aches and muscle cramps became too much. He made an appointment to go to the doctor and later found out it was something much, much worse. He had developed a lump in his back that had began effecting his immune system and bodily functions.

The doctors had given him only a few months to live. That was three months ago. And while he managed to make it through each day, the thought lingered in the back of his mind. The silence of the house was driving him mad. After his love had passed away and so did their dog, and long after all of their kids had moved out, the big empty house was never the same. They had bought the house together, him and his wife. They decorated each room together. Placing the furniture in a certain place to make sure there was always a spot for the Christmas tree. And setting the pictures down on the fireplace mantle in a certain order of when they happened.

As the aged joints of the chair croaked, the man’s eyes fell to the mantle. He hadn’t looked at them in so long. At first because he was too busy with his family, and then because it hurt too much to reminisce in the framed memories. He glanced up at the six frames that lined the top of the fireplace. Even though he could only see so much of each frame from this angle, he still remembered the order his love had put them in.

The first frame to the left was a picture of two young kids holding hands. They were sat on a bench and they both had bright smiles on their faces. The little girl on the left was looking at the boy to the right. The picture was taken as the girl was laughing, exposing the gap in her teeth from a recently lost baby tooth. The boy was looking straight at the camera with a serious look on his face and his nose scrunched up. It was a picture of the man and his love when they were just mere toddlers. Best friends since youth. Best friends until the very end. Through sickness and through health. He mumbled those words as he studied the photo from afar. ‘Til death do us part.

As tears began to well up in his eyes, he moved on the view the next frame. This one was of the same two kids, but now they were teenagers. The girl stood in front of the boy, his hands on her waist. A large arch of white roses was placed behind them. It was their prom picture. Even though the photo was black and white, he still remembered the bright yellow colour of the dress his girl wore that night. He remembered her being so happy and excited that she had a yellow dress. Her favourite colour was always yellow and her mother helped her make her perfect dress for prom. Her teeth shined bright in the photo. She was always smiling big. Her beautiful smile could always be seen in photographs of her. He fell in love with that smile for as long as he could remember.

A tear began to gleam down his cheek. He didn’t bother to wipe it away as his eyes moved along to the third photo. This one was beige-tinted photo of his love lying in a bed while cradling their first born daughter in her arms. Brianna was her name. He could remember the happiness in her voice when she found out she was pregnant after trying for so long. Then the happiness and joy in her voice when she found out we were having a baby girl, and again when she was able to hold their daughter for the first time. She was looking up at the camera. Her hair was a mess and IV tubes covered her arm, but that amazing smile still remained there.

A small smile pulled across his face at the next one. A family photo. Himself, his wife, and their three children were all dressed in holiday sweaters. They all huddled around the same fireplace that was now cold and burnt out. Everyone had a smile on their face, except for him. He was the one in mid air, falling straight to the ground. He remembered this, and he laughed softly to himself as he thought about it. He had just plugged in the tree and was heading over to everyone else seated on the living room sofa. The camera was ready to go off in five seconds, enough time for him to walk over. But as he took a step, his foot caught onto the cord to the tree’s lights and he tumbled to the floor. And sure enough, the camera went off right as he fell. He knew no one in the family would ever forget that Christmas card picture.

The next frame was filled with four pictures taped together at the center. Each had a baby blue background and a smiling face to pull it all together. His grandchildren; Kayla, Sierra, Taryn, and Joey. Kayla was the first, in the upper left hand corner of the frame. She was the oldest, ten years old at the time. Her hair was braided to one side and her smile shined just like her mother and grandmother’s, even with braces. Sierra was the next oldest and her picture was in the upper right hand corner of the picture frame. Her hair was down and her natural curled bordered her little eight year old face beautifully. Then on the bottom of the frame were Taryn and Joey, his son’s fraternal twins. In the picture they were both five years old and this was their first school picture. Taryn’s hair was in two seperate pigtails, and Joey’s was shaved down. The man teared up more at the smiling faces of his grandkids, knowing that they would have to grow up in their early teenage years without their grandparents.

By the time her moved to the next picture frame, his cheeks were soaked with the salty tears of his sorrow. He leaned over, using all the strength he had left and brought the frame down to his lap. This one was newest. His love never saw this frame. It didn’t hold any picture, but it definitely held a memory. Beneath the glass was a crushed flower. The flower he had given to her when they were little. For some reason, she had given it to her mother who had kept it inside one of her books to press and save it. After his wife’s mother had passed on, he found the book and the flattened flower inside it. He kept the book in the nightstand drawer next to their bed. And after his love had passed away as well, he took the delicate flower and placed it in the frame. He had put the frame on the end of the mantle, after the line of pictures.

As he held it in his hand now, he couldn’t hold back his emotions any longer. Tears streamed down his face and he clenched his jaw. His bony fingers ran along the glass and outlined the shape of the small flower. Mumbling under his sobbing, he spoke to her.I’ll be with you soon, my love. I love you, Marie. His brittle muscles held onto the frame tightly. He closed his eyes and reclined back in his seat. Pressing as tight as he could, he kept the frame to his chest; near his heart. His wrinkled lip quivered and he let out soft wails. He squeezed his eyes shut and tried to relax, hoping he would wake to see his one true love waiting for him at the gates of Heaven.

Since some people like to use the nosstarter tag, may I suggest that for those doing future week that they tag their starters future nosstarter that way people still see them and it's not clogging the regular tag?

Sun, 19 May 2013 20:41:00 -0400

Good point Anon!

From now on all future starters should be tagged with “AU nosstarter” so it doesn’t clog our normal starter tag.

But remember you can always blacklist “AU” if you choose not to participate.

Sun, 19 May 2013 19:54:18 -0400

~~Original Character Audition~~
Your Name & Age: Jaxie, 15
Character Name/Age/Grade: Caelan McKey/17/junior
Face Claim: McKinley Kitts
Bio(5+ sentences): Even as an only child, Caelan has been ignored by his parents. His parents are always busy and Caelan is left at home with no family except his dog, Cobalt. Even though he’s left alone, Caelan is still as happy as he can be on the outside. He doesn’t let anyone see his lonely side except his close friends and family. But other than that, he is charismatic and loves to talk. As a little kid, he loved playing music and grew from playing the violin to playing the guitar and piano. Freshman year of high school he started a band with some of his friends. They became known and popular but then a year later, Caelan had to move to Greensville with his mom who got a new job there. He and his band still continued playing music and got together every weekend or so to play music and work on new lyrics. No matter what he will still use music as his plan to get rid of his feelings.
Activity(1-10): 5-6
Have you read the rules?: removed
Any questions?: Nope :D
Time Zone: EST
Sample:

With the guitar strap over his shoulders and a pen in his hand, Caelan went through the melodies in his head. An hour of work and only 3 notes written on the paper. It wasn’t going well. Maybe playing his old stuff would help. Caelan pulled out one of his old songs and began strumming. With a hum and guitar pick, the music hopped from the page. With each strum, Caelan began replaying all of his ideas over again. How could he not come up with anything? He had never struggled this much with music before. Maybe a break. He removed himself from the array cds, music pages and instruments and made a cup of tea. Sipping the tea he made his way over to the window. His eyes stared at the clear blue water that flowed over the sand. And suddenly his tea cup was on the table and his mind was flowing with music. And then he spoke. “Carolina.”

Since all of you latched on so quickly to the AU, the dash exploded, and made it hard for those not participating to roleplay.

So, from now on All Kid AU posts will be tagged with “AU” . That way those who choose not to participate can blacklist it.

Thank you

I feel the Kids AU week should be next weekend, just to give everyone more time.

Sat, 18 May 2013 23:00:34 -0400

We wanted it to be next week, but many different problems arose, and we figured doing it now was the best time. Sorry for it being last minute. We wouldn’t have done it otherwise if we had no reason to.

ATTENTION NOSERS!

Sat, 18 May 2013 22:46:00 -0400

We are having an event STARTING TOMORROW (Sorry about it being last minute!)

We are having….drum roll please……

FUTURE KIDS AU WEEK!!!!!

What IS Future Kids AU Week? Well, do you have a ship that you love dearly? Do you see this ship in the future? Do you see this ship one day having kids? Well, we’re going to be ROLEPLAYING as those kids!

You can either figure out a new faceclaim for that character, and post ON YOUR OWN CHARACTERS BLOG (We are NOT making new blogs for these characters) as your characters son or daughter, and interact with other characters sons or daughters, or interact with the parents, or write selfies, or share paras, or whatever the hell you want to do! But this week is your chance to focus on the future kids!

Disclaimer: You do NOT have to participate if you do not want to. The cannon roleplay will still be continued, as of the roleplayers wishes in whether they wish to participate or not. Or, you can participate, but still have the cannon roleplays continue simultaneously.

In order for everyone to not become confused, we ask if you are going to participate, every time you make a post as your child or the future you or whichever AU you’re wishing to do, that you either label it as a title or keep it in the tags, ‘AU’. If you are roleplaying as the child, we also ask you to title the post or tag the post with the name of your character.

For example, if I were to roleplay as Sammy Cooper’s daughter Elsie, I would either title the post or tag the post as ‘AU: Elsie’ or something along those lines. We just need to make sure everyone knows what the post is about, so no one becomes confused.

Future Kids AU Week will start whenever anyone wakes up tomorrow (Sunday, May 19th) until Thursday, May 30th

We hope you enjoy, and if you have any questions, or I didn’t explain something well, don’t be afraid to ask!

ENJOY FUTURE KIDS AU WEEK!!!

Important ass-announcement

Sat, 18 May 2013 20:23:00 -0400

Hello lovely Nos’ers!

It has come to the admin’s and my attention that our lovely rp has become very cliquish and exclusive. While many people are fully active and interacting with everyone they can, there are also many of you not including other in the fun. Many starters have gone unreplied, or just replied to once, and people as a whole have been ignored. We realize fully that some of you try very hard to interact with everyone, or your character might be too shy to interact, but please try your best for everyone to feel included Because no one wants to feel left out, even if you’re not doing it one purpose. Feel free to tag your starters with “nonstarter” and track that tag, but if you don’t wish to, feel free not to and just post a starter.

Another issue that I’m positive you all are aware of, is the immense drama that goes on in NOS. We are aware that drama is fun, healthy and normal for High School. But ours it’s getting to a point where it is overwhelming. We understand that your character might be going through something rough, but please try your hardest to tone it down. Make your character your own without all the unnecessary drama mixed in.

Have you guys set the dates for prom and graduation yet? And also what if we want to trade in a character for another after they graduate. Are we able to reserve them now, even though it won't be for a weeks, or just have to wait? Cause like...I don't want them to be taken ^_^
