Out of Time Roleplay Community

July 25
You walk through a door and suddenly you're not in the valley anymore. In fact, now you're experiencing one of your worst memories. Other people can come with you. In fact, if someone else enters a door you just went through, they will now be there with you. It doesn't sound so bad. It's a memory after all. The catch is that you can very definitely get hurt. The only way out is by concentrating on the valley and opening a door. And that's not very easy when you're caught inside your head.

Please refer to the OOC post regarding logistics and for plotting purposes.

Characters: Martha Jones and Ton Phanan
Rating: PG
Trigger Warnings: None that I know of
Location: Hospital
Day and Time: July 13, afternoon
Status: Closed

On days where Martha and Phanan ended up in the office together, they didn't work much. Sometimes they shared medical procedures from their respective worlds. Phanan taught her many things she didn't know which was very good. And they had plenty of paper airplane/paper thermal detonator fights. But not today.

It had been a tough day. Martha had to admit finally, that Jack was gone. And more concerning, so were a few other names she had known including Miller. Which she supposed made sense. She hadn't seen him in recent mornings, and they'd not had a training session in a while. To see his name gone from the list was definitely concerning, but not more so than Jack. Jack had been here... forever. He was around before she came to the old castle. He'd been there fore her when she needed him most in her life.

Today she ignored every single thermal detonator and all sounds that came from his way. Until she couldn't take it anymore. Not looking up from the book she was pretending to study, Martha finally spoke up. "I think we need to stop seeing each other out of professional hours."

Characters: Martha and whomever
Rating: PG13 likely for swearing
Trigger Warnings: Possible cranky violence?
Location: Hospital
Day and Time: July 9th spanning morning and afternoon; after her Universal Transmission
Status: Open to multiple in separate threads. Please mark the time of day in your thread for chronology purposes.

Martha readied all the supplies she might need for today including blank patient files, a list of questions, syringes, and cotton swabs. She then sat out on the porch to wait for both answers to her phone call or a patient. She had thought about asking Phanan for help, but he was nowhere to be found.

The first two people to call were less than pleased. Perhaps she could have worded herself a little better. They clearly thought she was going to do something awful. Or they just held that much disdain for humans when they were whatever they were before. Martha didn't take it to heart, and at least one of them said he would show up. She merely waited.

Characters: Eric Northman
Rating: R for serious F-bombs
Trigger Warnings: none yet
Location: Outside of Eric's house, West block
Day and Time: July 9th, morning, after this call
Status: Open to Any, multiple solo threads

He stormed up the stairs as soon as he hung up on Saetan, ducking away from beams of light, covering his face with his hands as he hissed at the bright lights which hurt his eyes.

He squinted, and made his way for the door, carefully opening it. He pushed his foot into the halo of light that washed into his house with a heat he hadn't felt in centuries upon centuries. Staring down, at his own hands as they didn't instantly start peeling, cracking, turning to ash before his eyes, he squinted heavily under the wash of morning light. He wasn't dead asleep, or bleeding from his sockets, but he couldn't believe it.

Once he regained his senses, he took a deep breath, something he hadn't done in just as long, and started screaming at the top of his lungs.

"IKE!!! YOU BASTARD! WHAT THE FUCK HAVE YOU DONE TO US!"

He kept on at this, his body pink now that he was human, as he hollered, chest and stomach heaving, as he cussed the skies, the traitor-horror that was Ike, until he collapsed on his porch, shaken, out of breath, his throat raw, and groaning painfully as his stomach twisted once again.

So this was hunger. It was worse than the thirst. It was worse than silver chains against his skin. How did humans even begin to deal with this kind of torture, three times a day, every day, forever.

Characters: Everyone
Rating: R for possible language
Trigger Warnings: None at the moment
Location: Town Square
Day and Time: July 1st, beginning fifteen minutes before actual sunset. Lasting until 8 PM (Thinking sunset is at 6 PM)
Status: Open to everyone

Anyone looking at the square would not suspect anything close to a meeting happening. All day the square remained empty. No chairs. No tables. Nothing to look like a meeting. And then, 15 minutes before sunset, there were suddenly rows of chairs and a small stage with a table set up. At the table sat Ike and Chuck. Ike looked quite imposing looking out over the the empty set up, gavel in front of him. Chuck on the other hand had a mess of papers that he kept dropping and having to pick up.

Neither man seemed willing to talk or respond to anyone wishing to talk to them at the moment.

[OOC Introductions will go up first. We'll get topic number 1 going tonight when I get home from work at 6 PM CST]

Characters: Ike, Bridget
Rating: PG
Trigger Warnings: none
Location: Bridget's house
Day and Time: June 26, sometime in the afternoon
Status: Open

It was impossible to tell how it happened, but in a moment when Bridget was asleep or otherwise not in the room a manilla envelope with several forms appeared on the counter in her kitchen. The document was labeled, by hand, with her full name.

Date: Wednesday 22 June
Place: Wonunicun Valley

It's the day after Midsummer's Day in Wonunicun Valley and some midsummer magic appears to have been at work overnight. You wake up in a room you've never seen before, yet which seems to have been decorated to your taste and which contains a few of your personal belongings. A photo of a loved one on the nightstand, your favourite weapon wherever you would normally keep it, some of your clothes in the closet.

Upon exploring further, you may find the bedroom is located within your dream cottage near the shores of a beautiful lake. You may find it's in a smart apartment in the one apartment block in the centre of the village. And you may find your bedroom is in a two-bed house or apartment and your room mate is… well, that's up to you! Is it someone you'd love to share a residence with, or is it someone who's really going to get on your nerves?

Either way, you can always move rooms/houses. Just remember to post your updated accommodation to the Housing post once you know where you're staying long-term.

(And, of course, please remember to ask the other player first if you want your character to wake up with theirs! Or post it as an open post so anyone can join in.)
