Introduction
Somewhere in San Francisco is a small, seemingly insignificant apartment building the color of daffodils. It's quite lovely, really, but it wouldn't be so unnoticeable if it weren't for the much taller, obnoxiously bright red one right next to it. But the apartments themselves is not what this is about - no - it's the people living in them. Eleven, to be precise, and between them are five apartments, one neurotic landlord, and a coffee shop with crap coffee, dry muffins and great ambiance.
The yellow building is called the Daffodil Building, and in it are apartments 1A and 1B. Each apartment has two bedrooms, and one of everything else (Kitchen, bathroom, etc.). 1A is on the second floor, 1B on the third, and the first floor is entirely occupied by The Mighty Bean Cafe. It's where most of the tenants spend their mornings and it claims to be a million times better than Starbucks despite the fact that their coffee tastes slightly less worse, but bad all the same. Some of the tenants from the other building work there part-time, which brings us to...
The Red Building, and yes, that's what it's called. It used to have an antique shop on the bottom floor, but then the owner moved to Nebraska so they converted it into some sort of communal living room instead. There are a three apartments in the Red Building; 2A, 2B, and 2C. 2C's only slightly smaller than the other two, but it also has two bedrooms, and one of everything else, much like the apartments in the Daffodil Building.
Then there's the building across the street. Considerably newer than the other two, and slightly pricier, but an apartment all the same. Like the Daffodil building, a shop occupies the bottom floor - a boutique called Strut - but it also shares the space with everyone's favorite bar: HUB (Has the greatest margaritas in the planet, and one of the bartenders' a friend). Nobody ever goes to the apartments upstairs, but you can always find at least one of them in the bar on Saturdays (and, occasionally, Fridays).
Between the three are thirteen people. They been more or less living together for at least a year and a half now (A bit less for some), so they're all pretty close - except maybe for that guy on 2B, but we'll get to that later. Even though they've got bricks, concrete, and a road separating them, it's relatively uncommon to see people going from one building to another, and some have even woken up to find guys from the other building passed out on their couch.
These are people with different backgrounds, different quirks, and likes, and ideas, and with personalities so different, it's a wonder just how they make it work. But they do, and it's anything but simple.

These are people with different backgrounds, different quirks, and likes, and ideas, and with personalities so different, it's a wonder just how they make it work. But they do, and it's anything but simple.
The Daffodil Building
Apartment 1A, home to the most sufficiently stocked refrigerator and the two best cooks on the entire block. Usually the go-to place when someone's feeling down because it's warm, there's real food, and the couch is always open to anyone. Also known as the friendliest apartment in both buildings.
Saoirse Tara McLoughlin || Works as a High School English and Etymology Teacher || FC: Zooey Deschanel || TAKEN by BleedingLover
Kelly Clarissa Kenton || Studying for her Master's Degree in Film Production. Works part-time at The Mighty Bean || FC: Emma Stone || TAKEN by supertoastgirl
Apartment 1B is not as welcoming, unlike the apartment downstairs, and so are its occupants. They're fierce, and make quite a formidable pair, so arguments against these two are pretty much hopeless. The apartment's strictly "No Men Allowed", although the girls do turn up at the guys' apartments quite often.
Anisette Hollis || Self-proclaimed feminist. Works as a Biomedical Engineer at a local research facility. || FC: Jane Levy || TAKEN by OurStars
Arabella Imogen Herondale || Trust fund baby. Currently in college majoring in English. || FC: Kaya Scodelario || TAKEN by LittleMissGeorgia
The Red Building
Apartment 2A is everybody's apartment. Everyone's likely to end up there at some point when the coffee shop's closed and it's where almost everything significant happens. No one really knows how this came to be, but it probably has something to do with the fact that they've got the comfiest couches anywhere, a gargantuan flat screen TV perfect for movie nights, and a fridge that's always stocked with booze.
Noah Paul Tesla || Quite wealthy, though nobody actually knows why, and what exactly he does for a living. || FC: Max Irons || TAKEN by UCTigerette
Silas Elias Aldrich || A gamer. Married to his X-box. Works full-time at The Mighty Bean as a waiter. || FC: Hunter Parrish || TAKEN by Malfunction
Apartment 2B hasn't been quite the same since [Ben Barnes]'s younger brother appeared on their doorstep two months ago when he was supposed to be in college far far away in England. No one knows why he's there, and most generally think he's weird. And maybe kinda creepy. But [Ben Barnes] adores him, and he gets along surprisingly well with [Taylor Momsen], who everyone's secretly afraid of.
Lucine Carmen Silver || Mildly terrifying. The only female in the Red Building. In college majoring in Art. || FC: Taylor Momsen || TAKEN by RenderedHarmless
Lyle Hugh Dominic Hagen || Not the brightest crayon in the box. Oblivious to most things. Can't seem to keep a job.|| FC: Ben Barnes || TAKEN by SpaceMonkey
Finn Chance Hagen || [Ben Barnes]'s (adopted) younger brother. Quite...eccentric, to say the least. || FC: Ezra Miller || TAKEN by SlightlyInsane
Apartment 2C, also known as the cleanest apartment of them all, only because something as small as forgetting to use a coaster is enough to drive [Andrew Garfield] insane. 2C's just slightly smaller than apartment 2A and 2B, but it's enough to fit about five other people inside so it's usually where people "escape" to when things get too crazy at 2A.
Apartment 2C || Has a mild case of OCD. In college studying ______. || FC: Andrew Garfield || OPEN
Apartment 2C || Aspiring Actor/Writer/Etc. (Your pick). Works part-time at the Mighty Bean. || FC: Dave Franco || OPEN
The Apartment Across The Street
Apartment 3C & 4D, home to the gruesome twosome, and also known as the Apartments-That-No-One-Visits. Ever. Even though they live far, far away across the street, these two are pretty close to the tenants in the Red and Daffodil building, and always join them for obligatory morning coffee at the Mighty Bean.
Apartment 3C || Vet student and part-time amateur model. || FC: Lindsay Ellingson || RESERVED
Apartment 4D || Photojournalist on a five-month long break from work. Sometimes bartends at HUB. || FC: Francisco Lachowski || RESERVED
Gordon Black || 39 || Owner of The Mighty Bean || Mild-mannered, but will not hesitate to hit anyone over the head with a serving tray when annoyed. || FC: Adrien Brody
Bernard Gilligan || 44 || Landlord of both buildings || Neurotic. Comes by every few weeks or so to bully the tenants into paying the rent. || FC: Dylan Moran

Re: It's Anything But Simple
Okay, I have submitted my 'Andrew Garfield' character just in case. I won't be too distraught if I get knocked back, but I at least hope this thing gets off the ground 'cause it would be a great read!
Re: It's Anything But Simple
Hi. Hopefully this is still happening, since it looks fantastic and I love all the characters that have been crafted for it. If you are still going ahead, I was wondering if the Andrew Garfield character was still open. If so, I'd love to try my hand with that character. I'm writing up a character sheet for him now just in case. If not, no worries. Hope everyone is well. Cheers!
Oh, and... "I'm not sleepy and there is no place I'm going to."

Re: It's Anything But Simple
Hi. Hello. I'm Elysium and I'm the one who took the Francisco Lachowski spot. xD Anyway, lady GM aka SpaceMonkey's next to me right now, and she wanted me to tell you lot that the Relationship Thread will be up soon and that the roleplay will start once the last few roles have been filled. And they already have, technically. xD She's just waiting for the sheets and yeah. That's all. :) kbye.

Thanks. :) That'd be great.

Yeah, that's totally fine. :) Go ahead.
In other news, the Taylor Momsen part's already been filled. :)

Re: It's Anything But Simple
Ooo! I guess I could take Andrew Garfield off your hands for you ;) If that's all right.

LittleMissGeorgia wrote:Will we be doing relationship sheets? :)
Yup. We'll be doing that in a bit. :) Also, I've added a new apartment building, and two new spots. Dun worry, both of them are already Taken (One by Horseygirl, and the other by a friend of mine who's yet to make an account), and the Dave Franco and Andrew Garfield spots are once again OPEN since Chicka unreserved them both. Any takers? xD lol
AAAAAND, I've shortened the minimum to 300 words. c:
And that's all. Love all the characters by the way. xD
Re: It's Anything But Simple
I updated Kelly a bit. Enjoy. :P
But really I think she's finished now.
If anyone wants to plot something with me just send me a PM!
Super excited!

Re: It's Anything But Simple
I Actually had unreserved Andrew- it just was put in the list on accident, I guess?
Re: It's Anything But Simple
OurStars and Chicka both had Andrew Garfield Reserved. But now that Ourstars made the Jane Levy charry, does that mean that Chicka will have Andrew's in? Or Dave Franco, since she made those two her choices?
Re: It's Anything But Simple
I'd like to reserve Taylor Momsen...
I'm working on her and she will be up probably soon...

Re: It's Anything But Simple
All right, spots for Emma Stone and Kaya Scodelario are now filled, which brings our character count to eight. Eight! :D Just three more and we're all set, guys. :3
