Sadly, OH has been winding down for quite some time. Now that only a few players are active, some have quit and told other players but not mods (leaving a lot of paradox or the near impossible task of getting someone to pick up a preexisting original character) and our newest pair have gone in left in record time, we've decided to put old yeller to sleep.
This is by far one of my favourite games I have run and I'm glad you all took my idea and ran with it. My apologies to those who still had plot. Missy, River, I know you barely got to play. This game is just becoming more stress than its worth right now and OH is finding new forms in my mind.
I wish you all the best of luck. Check out one of my still extant games.

Who: Sammy and Meg
What: Journey concert
When: Thursday night
Where: A rest stop
Rating: PG
Dennis drove Sammy and Meg to the concert, where they picked up their tickets from will call and sat on the lawn (they bought the cheapest tickets). On the way home, they stopped at a rest stop so Dennis could fill the tank with gas and so that they could get food. Dennis was outside filling the tank while Meg and Sammy were inside getting food.

Who: Ariella and OTA
What: Fun times at the pool?
Where: The pool where Ariella works
When: Wednesday afternoon
Rating: TBD
Ariella sat in the lifeguard chair, lazily watching the swimmers in the pool. It was a nice day out, but there weren't many people in the pool today, luckily. She had already taught her little swimmers' class, so there wasn't much left to do today besides close up. She looked at her watch and it was time for her break. Ariella switched with the other lifeguard on duty (thankfully not Nick), and went over to the snack area to buy a pretzel, hoping she'd run into someone she knows.

who. Abbie, Darcy, and The Senator.
when. Starts Tuesday night, goes on for a bit because it's labour.
what. The birth of Eric!
The thing that worried Abbie, was that her son was over a month early. That was what was worrying everyone, though he was not so early that he was at risk. Still, there was no turning back, as her water had broken, and that pretty much meant that the baby was ready to be born. She was feeling alright, mostly, which worried her even more because upon arriving at the hospital the nurse said that she was 'not that far along in the labour process', meaning she could be there up to 48 hours.
Once Abbie was ushered into the delivery room, The Senator found himself outside in the waiting area, doing as his daughter had requested, and waiting for none other than Darcy Nix. When he saw the boy, he walked over to him slowly.
"It's going to be a long time," he said matter-of-factly. He waited for a few moments, thinking of what to say next, before he placed his hands on Darcy's shoulders.
"You're a good kid. Really, the way you've been towards my daughter through all of this really says a lot." And he smiled, and then stepped back.

Who: Sammy and Meg
What: dancing lessons
Where: OH auditorium
When: Saturday, 4:30 PM
Rating: PG
Sammy got out of work at 4, so he rushed home to change into comfortable clothes (basketball shorts and a tshirt) so that Meg could help him with his dancing. It was bad enough that his singing was terrible, but he had two left feet. Hopefully his lessons with Meg would actually make him look like less of an idiot. Plus, he'd get to spend some time with Meg, whom he was quickly developing a crush on.

WHO: Bonnie and OTA
WHEN: Friday night
WHERE: Wal-mart
Bonnie was getting used to driving the head gardener's rusty-orange pickup truck on her little forays into the world outside of her gated community. These little midnight-or-so runs to the local Wal-mart were keeping her sane in a house where a brand new car had started showing up in the Tyler's driveway at odd hours, specifically, while Mrs. Tyler was away. The annoying thing was that this had probably happened before, she simply hadn't noticed. Which was fantastic, and by fantastic I mean awful. Almost as awful as the cravings. She was stalking through isle 6 with a pack of powdered sugar donuts in one hand and a can of baked beans in the other, looking for shishkabobs when the thought occurred to her that she looked a little silly. Then her stomach growled and the baby kicked and she decided she didn't care.

Who: Ariella and Zach
What: Swimming and snogging
Where: Ariella's house/backyard (top of the hill in the gated community)
When: Friday afternoon
Rating: R? NC-17? To be determined.
Ariella spent the morning doing laps in the Olympic-sized swimming pool in her backyard. She skimmed the leaves out of the pool and the attached hot tub (and turned the heater on in the hot tub, expecting that they would make use of it later), and began setting up for her afternoon. After making sandwiches and making sure that the fridge by the bar was fully stocked with alcohol, she went up to her bedroom to find her bathrobe. Ariella had decided she'd be giving Zach a little show this afternoon (they'd been dating for about three weeks, and though they had fooled around a fair bit, they hadn't actually slept together yet).

Who: Julianne and Jason
What: Dinner
Where: Julianne's house
When: Thursday night
Rating: TBD
Julianne had already done most of her grocery shopping for the week, but she went to the liquor store to buy a bottle of wine to have with dinner and another to cook with. She made a chicken francese with a lemon/wine sauce over yellow rice, a mixed vegetable plate, and a nice salad. It was always more fun to cook when she was cooking for someone other than herself. She put on a nice, yet mildly conservative red dress, and put on her red glasses to match (she was blind without her glasses, and preferred frames over contacts, so she had several pair in various colors). As the food cooked, she poured herself a glass of wine, which she sipped while she waited for Jason to arrive.

Who: Sammy and Meg
What: Swimming
Where: the pool (where Nick and Ariella lifeguard)
When: Wednesday afternoon
Rating: TBD
Sammy only had work in the morning today - he worked at the front desk of the hospital where his father worked. After work, he went home, changed into his swimming trunks, and walked the few blocks to the pool.
He swam a few laps and then sat on his towel on the side of the pool, reading one of the books on his summer reading list, Night by Elie Wiesel. Also didn't hurt to be laying out in the sun, working on his tan.

Who: Dennis and Harmony Tanis
What: Talking during rehearsals
Where: OHSH auditorium
When: Monday night
Rating: TBD
Dennis sat at the piano in the corner of the auditorium, working on "Hopelessly Devoted to You" with Ariella (he wasn't great at piano, but he could play the basic chords - the piano was more to show Ariella which notes she had to hit) while the boys were on stage working on the dance to Greased Lightning.
He gave the cast a 15 minute break to go get food and water, and he sat on the stage, rifling through his script, making notations on scenes that needed to be rehearsed.

Who: Harmony and Jake
What: Beach buddies?
Where: On the beach
When: Saturday, at sunset
As the sun began to set, Harmony found her way onto the soft sand. She quietly paced along the shore, eventually choosing a spot for herself. Picking up a nearby seashell, the blonde tentatively inspected her pink-hued find while contemplating current events: She’d only recently moved to this town, and thought signing up for Dennis Kelly’s play would help her meet new people.
However, Harmony and the rest of the cast seemed so focused on practice, she still hadn’t made any real friends. So there the sixteen-year-old sat... alone, waiting for something she wasn’t sure of yet.
Then, off in the distance, she watched as someone who looked strangely familiar approached her.

Who: Cait and David
What: Lights, Camera, Awkward!
Where: Rehearsal
When: Night, during the break
Rating: TBD, probably like... PG-13 or something for language
So maybe David should have been on his knees thanking whoever was in charge of giving him a break now and then for good behavior (or, well... not really, becaus come on, when does he ever display good behavior?), or maybe just Dennis for casting Ariella as Sandy and Cait as Rizzo, so at the very least, they didn't have to talk to each other onstage. Much.
It wasn't so much that he didn't want to talk to her. Actually he was dying to. For the first time in his life (and trust me there were a lot of opportunities) he felt like a freak. I mean, he'd killed her boyfriend by turning his blood into wine. Didn't that make him a freak? It's not something you hear about every day, so he was going to go with yes. Yes he was, and all Cait's avoidance was making him feel just that much more freakish. It wasn't pleasant.
And he really wasn't kidding about the throwing up all the time thing either. At least, not initially. After a few weeks, he'd stopped getting sick all the time, but any wine he drank still had a vinegary zing to it, and so he'd sucked it up and started to drink real beverages again, as lame as that was. And while he looked better than he did immediately following Scott's death-the bruises had healed, and he'd stopped getting sick all the time-he was still a bit on the peaky side (damn does the boy ever look normal anymore?) but all in all he didn't look awful. And he was doing something he loved, so... He could enjoy that, right?
Right. So long as he and Cait stayed on very neutral terms, all would be fine. And so, when he headed to the soda machine during the ten minute break, he was in pretty good spirits. He'd had his doubts about a student run show, but so far (not that they were very far in) things were looking pretty good, and he was already one step ahead, alreading knowing all the songs and the lines. Yes, he was happy and nearly whistling, until he turned the corner, nearing that fateful soda machine of impending doom (so dramatic, it's probably not so bad), and spotted a familiar red head.
Isn't torture fun?

Who: Luisa and OTA
What: Riding a bike
Where: The park
When: Friday late afternoon/early evening
After she got home from work with her father and her older brother, all Lou wanted to do was collapse on the couch. Unfortunately, her little brother, Jorge, wanted to go for a ride on his bike, and wouldn't stop shouting until someone took him. Annoyed, but not wanting to risk getting yelled at by her parents or her grandmother, Lou grabbed her helmet, put knee pads, elbow pads, and a helmet on her little brother, and took their bicycles to the park (his obviously had training wheels). She rode for a little while, but got bored easily. She let him ride up and down a stretch of path while she sat on a bench, watching everyone go by. Hopefully she'd see something interesting that she could write about in Gossip Goddess.
