Introduction
You will play one of 13 people on this huge houseboat, with a dead engine so you are stranded. You have a solar powered generator, electricity, plumbing, and everything a normal house would provide. Except this one you cant leave. One of the 13 is a serial killer. No one will know who except for me, (the GM) and the murderer. It will not be listed anywhere on the character profile that they are the murderer. So basically, in a sentance. - - - - -Its a mystery you the PO get to try and solve too!- - - - - All the basic RP rules apply, and if you want to do anything rated R or higher take it to PM and get OOC permission. I will personally make sure your character dies first (this is a joke.. sort of) if you do not either PM me the word "krinklestop". If you cant PM post it on the ooc or your character profile.. just somewhere so I know you read this before joining. Only human characters please, anything else and you dont get accepted. This is a realistic rp.
If you want to be the KILLER: Do the following.
1:Make a nice, literate character profile with good description and/or pics. Manga/anime does NOT count. Use the skeleton below.
2:PM me, asking to be the killer and giving a brief explanation why.
3:Wait. I will PM you telling you if you are the killer, with specifics on how to go about killing and etc. Tell NO ONE. (I will also PM those who do not get to be the killer, in case you were wondering.)
Layout
List of the rooms in the houseboat and a brief decription:
Deck: A large deck, about 100x75 feet. At one end is a door leading to the living area, and on the other end a door leading to the sleeping area.
Living area: A ladder leads down to a large room, the living room. If you go on down below that there is a large dining room, and behind it a kitchenette.
Kitchenette: A small kitchenette with a mini-fridge, microwave, full sized freezer, and toaster oven.
Living room: A rather large room, lined with couches. A bookshelf is stacked with lots of different types of books and cds. Another bookshelf is stacked with boardgames and several packs of cards. A folding game table stands off to the corner.
Dining room: Two circular tables, each seating up to seven people.
Sleeping Area: A ladder goes down, you can step off into a hall or continue down to identical hall. They each have three small bedrooms on one side, four on the other of one story. On the other story the seventh bedroom is actually a small bathroom with a tiny shower. All of the bedrooms look identical.
Bedrooms: Each bedroom has a small bed to one side, and a tiny dresser with a mirror above it to the other side.

Emily took a last bite of the apple and looked at the painting. "Well that looks.. acceptable," she mumbled. She threw the core at Kila, who immidiately attacked it.

"WOAH! WHERE'D THE DOCK GO?!" She looked around again. Even at the horizon, she couldn't see any land. "What're we gonna do, what're we gonna do!" She let herself fall backwards and lay there in the sun. It was pretty warm for this time of the day. Kila curled up on her stomach.
What now..

She went downstairs and dropped her bag in her room, then went to the kitchen on the other side of the boat. She looked in the fridge, took out some food and started making a sandwich.
OOC Notes
I walk out of my room, my silk robe carelessly thrown on and loosely tied over my short, matching night gown, my hair a mess, and still half asleep, even at noon. I immediately walk into the kitchen for some coffee, my feet silent on the softly padded floors. I see Emily getting herself something to eat and walk over towards her, laying my elbows down on the counter, yawning some. "Hey Emily..." I say sleepily. I lay my head on my arms then suddenly straighten up, most of the fog cleared from my brain. "Why aren't we moving anymore? Or does it just seem like were not moving?... Please tell me it's the second." I rub my eyes and walk to the other side of the kitchen and look out one of windows.
I groan and turn away from the windows. "Never mind I answered my own question. We are not moving in the slightest bit. Well besides the little bit of rocking the waters causing the boat to do." I shake my head. "Great. I thought the motors of this thing were supposed to be reliable and not break down. Any idea when well be moving again?" I walk over to the coffee pot and make enough coffee for a most of the people on the boat, whether they wanted it or not.
OOC Notes
Alex wasn't the only one in a chair. The resident silent-guy, the one who always kept to himself after a socially inept introduction, had taken the other. And he had read, from the moment the sun had risen, right until noon.
Al closed the book and looked at his arms. The sun had gilded them a fluorescent pink. "Ah drat!" he cried, jumping out of his chair and leaving his latest novel - A Winter's Night on the deckchair. He ran, rather comically, into the shade - or what little there was of it - cast by the large cabin which pocked out from the centre of the deck. Of course he had to get sunburnt if he read in the sun for six hours without any sunscreen. That was why he hated his skin. He glared at Emily as she passed. She'd have perfect skin that tanned rather than fried, now wouldn't she?
Almost as an afterthought, Al followed Emily into the kitchen, more to escape the sun than to eat something.
Albert Ealdwine sat at the small, red-and-white table-clothed table whilst Emily made her sandwich. "What have you been up to?" he tried to start a conversation, then smiled. Of course she wouldn't reply. Nobody would reply to someone such as him.

"Oh.. Goodmorning." Emily took out her earphone and put them in the pocket of her sweater, where she also kept her iPod.
"What have you been up to?" Al asked her.
"Well.. I've been up since five to paint the sunset, but then I fell asleep again around six. I just woke up. Oh yeah!" Since she'd been asleep, she'd forgotten about the fact that they we're stuck in the middle of the ocean. She got up and poured the coffee Lindsay just made in 2 mugs, then gave one to Al and sat down again.
"We're stuck.." she said.
"Did you notice it too?"
OOC Notes
He was extremely calm as he played out a few chords. Then he sang softly:
Summer has come and passed
The innocent can never last
Wake me up when September ends...
OOC Notes
..Do I take a shower now, or..?", he asks himself, but doesn't take long, to find the answer. He just decides for the easy way, as he leans over the sink and splashes extra-cold-set water in his face. After that, he washes his hair with the still cold water when he bends a bit more, so his head is under the water-tap.
For this whole procedure, so he thinks, it is useless to close or even to lock the door, so he did not done this actually.
OOC Notes
He sang:
I go round ‘n round
With my own heart
Oh, it brings me down
But I gotta do my part
I know how many people
All depend on me
I have to deal with this evil
When all I wanna do is flee
He smiled brightly as he played, for music always inspired.

"What have you been up to?" Al asked. Emily started to reply, but Albert wasn't listening. They were having a conversation! A real, actual conversation with someone who would respond! No, he would not waste this chance.
"... did you notice it too?" Emily asked. The boy at the table started, and looked at the young woman. He had wasted it. Quickly, he racked his brains for something 'out of place'. Was the sun too high? Were they off-course? Had the weather been strange? Was Alex's singing unusually loud? For a moment, Albert listened to the musician's singing, which wound its way through wood and metal to fit into the small kitchen. It did seem unusually loud, but that was because... the motor!
"The motor? Of course I did. It's been like this all morning, hasn't it? It's a bit of a pity, really, but such a malfunction can't really be anticipated. When will the captain deign to restore the mechanism?" Albert began gushing out words as they came into his mind. He wasn't sure if the motor had been out since the morning. He wasn't even sure if the captain was planning to fix the motor. He was making a fool of himself and, deep down, he knew it.
OOC Notes
"Still, I wonder how long we can survive in the middle of the ocean." She sipped her coffee. Bitter. Emily poured some sugar and milk in the mug.
"So, what've you been doing this moring?"

As he went back in the boat, the same tense feeling came to him. He hated being inside and not outside where he could see the sky and breathe in fresh air.
"Hey guys," he said as he came into the kitchen. Ben set his guitar against the wall and decided to get himself a cup of coffee. "The boat's stuck. I dunno what the heck the captain's doing but it looks like he's not doing anything to fix it."
As he spoke, a Siberian Husky suddenly trotted into room and jumped on Ben, nearly causing him to fall over and spill the coffee.
Benjamin laughed, regaining his balance. "Hi Sam."

"Good morning." She then noticed Joshua's hand was bleeding.
"Wh-what happenedn to your hand, Joshua? It's bleeding.. but.. I guess you already noticed.. There should be a first aid kit in the top left cupboard."
[i]I really should think before I say something, she thought.
OOC Notes
Good morning..
The 'morning' gets stretched, because of a yawn. Then Ceszlaw grins. The bloody hand.. someone will take care of it, so he does not have to do that.
How late is it?
Ceszlaw just wants to know, how long he's been asleep now. Just in case, that there is something wrong with him. In the meantime he takes a good look around in the kitchen. He slept long and now he is very hungry.
OOC Notes
Emily thought about it. She actually didn't know where they were. Her cellphone probably didn't have any connection so that was pretty useless. And there was no internet either, obviously.
The idea of being completely cut off from the world scared her.
OOC Notes
Gah, he needed air.
He finished the coffee and headed up to the back deck, with Sam tailing behind him.
It felt great to be outside again, with the smell of the sea and the wind blowing at his hair. Then he noticed that the place was already occupied. "Oh...Hi Lindsey."
