THE BATH HOUSE



For years Yubaba's family had dedicated their lives into building the bath house, spending well over hundreds of years planning, designing, and laboring day after day. Yubaba was 13 when the bath house was finally finished - she could literally see success and wealth just on the horizon....However, only days before the grand opening a famous spirit, well known for her readings of the future announced that the bath house was cursed, and destined for downfall. In just a matter of hours, all of the bath house's sponsors and promised customers abandoned the project, spreading word of it's predicted destruction. Three years later, Yubaba's parents had both passed away, only encouraging the rumors involving the bath house's ruination. No matter how desperately she begged, no one would agree to help. It was then, at the age of 16 that Yubaba decided to take matters into her own hands.

How it all started

Finding him or herself lost in a shady alley, each and every character came across a "homeless" woman who asked them whether or not they wished they could live in world separate from their own. To those who answered yes, the woman asked them their name and gave them a new one. She then took a cigarette out of her coat pocket, lit it, and then blew the smoke into the individual's face. When the character next opened their eyes, they found themselves in the Spirited away universe.

It turns out that the poor homeless woman was actually Yubaba ( In her much, much, much younger days - and before the bathhouse was up and running ). Yubaba tricked them into coming to her world so that they could help her set up the bathhouse. At the time, all of her peers refused to help her because they believed the bath house to be cursed, and would never be successful. Figuring that humans would be the easiest to trick and take control of, Yubaba decided to choose a handful of humans to help her - refusing to take them back home until the bathhouse became a success.

The Gameplay

If your character should turn against Yubaba : Upon receiving their new names, your characters were bound to Yubaba's contract. Should they refuse to help and disobey her demands, it would result in death without reincarnation.

What the world of Spirited Away really is : The world of Spirited Away is a place where the spirits of the dead wander, and stay until they regain their memories. Should they remember their pasts, the spirits are then taken up to heaven, or down to hell. Some spirits choose not to bother, and live forever in the land between heaven and hell. For those who wish to regain their memories, absolutely no hints are given; not even what they used to look like. Even their appearances change when they enter the Spirit World. A human could be a mouse, a mouse a dragon, a spider a fly.

The tasks your characters must do : To be announced in the role play itself.

Who your characters is : Every single character is a modern day, typical human being. That means that elven archers are a NONO, neko-humans are a NONO, vampires, werewolves, etc... ALL NONO'S. Gangsters, Lolita's, Otaku's, are ALL ACCEPTED AND OKAY.

Something I encourage : Adding in your own details when describing scenery or events. For example, your character could hear, see, touch, and describe things that the gm hasn't mentioned. Just because the gm hasn't stated that "the bath house is red", doesn't mean that you can't say so. Also feel free to make an imaginary NPC interact with your character. As the GM, I seriously don't care whatever it is you want to add, unless it goes against the story line. If that does happen, I'll simply let you know through pm :)
