The collective

The collective

0 INK

Six people living together in a seemingly normal house. Except, nothing is really normal here...

667 readers have visited The collective since Lucette created it.

Introduction

It's late summer and six people who finished school before summer break are desperate to find somewhere to live. They all come from different places, some from different countries even, but they have one thing in common; they all have a thing for New York. Some of them have already scored a nice job in the city, some of them are still hunting, but they all need somewhere to settle.

A young lady, at the same time, owns a small apartment collective in the center of New York. Never has she had anyone living there, she never seems to find anyone who wants to rent any of the nine rooms she has. She tries again this year, though, putting up an ad on the internet;

Looking for a place to live?
Nine rooms for rent in the center of New York! Rooms are large, each having their own bathroom and loads of space for anything and everything. The collective shares a big kitchen and two living rooms, one large and one a bit smaller. Animals are allowed, preferably not dogs. Rent is cheap, contact for prices!


Six people answered her ad, six people move in later that fall, not knowing anything. The young woman on the phone seemed secretive about a lot, but the prices were extremely low and the location was perfect, so why not?


You are these six people. Shape your character as you like, but keep in mind; they're in their twenties, they're normal people and they are NOT perfect. I want to keep the genders even, which means you probably have a higher chance of getting accepted if your character is male.


The apartment collective


Rooms are numbered 1-9.

First floor: Big living room, rooms 1-4, kitchen, bathroom.
Second floor: Small living room, rooms 5-8.
Loft: Storage space, room 9.
Basement: Currently unknown, young woman's residence.

Big living room
Gathering place for almost everything. Contains sitting group, bookshelves, tables, television and everything else you would expect to see in a living room.

Small living room
Smaller gathering place, rarely used but attractive nonetheless. Quiet place, ideal for reading, paper work and other non-noisy activities.

Kitchen
Big kitchen designed for several people. Contains three fridges, three sinks, a lot of closet space, two dishwashers, one big table and the general cooking tools and stoves.


Bathroom/washing room:
Two showers, two washing machines and one clothes dryer. Three toilets and two sinks. All "personal areas" are separated by walls. The separate rooms, though they have bathrooms, does not have showers.

General room information:
Contains one bed, a writing desk and a lamp. Everything else must be brung. The rooms, as I said, have bathrooms, but these does not have showers. Most of the rooms are of different sizes, and some may contain other things than the basic stuff. Each room has its own lock, all empty rooms are also locked. All the keys hang in the hallway in the young woman's residence.

Room 1:
The second-to-largest room, positioned right by the entrance. Has its own small hallway and also contains a bookshelf.
Taken - Drake

Room 2:
This room stands empty. The contents are unknown.
unavailable

Room 3:
The smallest room. Barely has space for the furniture that is already there. Also has a horrible, queasy yellow color on the walls.
open

Room 4:
Medium-sized room, nothing special about it. The lock might be hard to handle sometimes.
open

Room 5:
This room is right by the stairs to the second floor. It is also empty, but there is a sign on the door saying "storage".
unavailable

Room 6:
Another medium-sized door with its own entrance to the small living room.
open

Room 7:
The second-to-smallest room. Also has its own hallway though, so there's room for some things in there.
Taken - Whisper

Room 8:
This room also stands empty.
unavailable

Room 9:
The loft room. By far the biggest room in the house, with both its own hallway, a bigger bathroom and a bookshelf. It has few windows, but one of the windows lead directly to the roof, where you can climb up.
open

Room 2, 5 and 8 holds secrets of which your characters know nothing of. You will get some information, though;
Room 2:
A man lives there, performing experiments on deformed animals.
Room 5: There are shelves full of potions and elixirs on the walls, each with a different purpose.
Room 8: Two little kids live here who love to do tricks on unknowing people. They're twins, and quite scary if I may say so myself.

It's up to you how you want to play with this. Keep in mind, though, the young woman does not want you in those rooms.

Slots:
Girl 1 - taken
Girl 2 - reserved for Wunderland
Girl 3 - open
Boy 1 - taken
Boy 2 - open
Boy 3 - open
The young woman - taken

I have no requirements for the character descriptions, but I like pictures! Also, their looks shouldn't be perfect either. Everyone can't be skinny and blonde with full lips and long eyelashes. Please.

Toggle Rules

  1. I won't require three paragraphs of text each time you post, but try to really bring the story along. If you fail to do so, I will open your slot for someone else to take.
  2. Think your characters through. They are not perfect, they should not be too shallow and they should be interesting for me to accept.
  3. Include the phrase "apples are good" at the end of your character sheet please.
  4. Please respect what I tell you. Don't play on what your characters won't know, and listen to what i tell you OOC.
  5. Don't join and then just leave. If you're accepted you're lucky!
  6. Well, have fun!

Re: The collective

I am officially withdrawing my character. Good luck to you.

Re: The collective

New characters are looked over and accepted, rooms are reserved! Keep them coming, guys!

Re: The collective

I submitted my character, I hope you find him acceptable. If so, he would probably choose room one, due to its large size and ease in moving his pet in and out.

Re: The collective

Alright then. I would like to put Whisper in room 7. :)

Re: The collective

Im vaguely interested, but currently at work so I cant look over everything throughly. Think of me as a tentative male.

Check in when you're back please, I'd love to have you on! :)

Of course you're allowed to choose! If you don't, I'll just assume you want to get assigned one as the character arrives the house.

Re: The collective

Okay, I'll have it in by the end of the day! Got a dentist appointment to tend to right now. ;D

Of course you may!

I don't really like the skeleton-thing. I want you to show that you can create a character without a form to "fill out", besides it's more fun for me to read that way! I'll reserve a female spot for you, of course.

Re: The collective

I would like to reserve a female character. I think you should put a skelly to make it easier.
