Introduction
Last Friday the 16th of August, local teen Diana Florinda Lynch was killed in a car crash three miles from the town's northern border. Authorities confirmed the cause of the crash instantly upon arriving at the scene, saying the fourty-three year old Gregosky Filips, the other citizen involved in the accident was "all around drunk... barely capable of standing on his own two feet and singing We Will Rock You incredibly off key."
Seventeen year old Diana was returning from a successful gymnastics competetion a few towns over, which had apparently run late due to a time defitiant judge (see page 6), causing her to drive home in the darkness and danger of the night. Diana was bringing home the gold, and would have been entering her senior year on Monday the 26th, a mere ten days away. Unfortunately, she will never be there to recieve her diploma. The Lynch family has declined comment. (see page 3 for more)
So read the Sunday paper in Shuasten, Georgia, otherwise known as Smalltown, USA, a place unknown and unacknowledged by the rest of the world. A town made up of your typical middle class Americans (except they were, perhaps, kinder and more true to their town), where you could leave your car doors unlocked wherever you went. Kindness was high, crime rates low, deaths practically non-existant. So you can see why the loss of Diana Lynch, your typical all American girl, caused such an uproar, was such a devastation. They said at the time that they'd never recover, but they let go, as happens in all deaths.
They say letting go is the best thing you can do; for the deceased and yourself. It's the most healthy thing to do, and you can let their memory live on in peace. But it's not as easy as one might think, especially if you're close to the deceased. That's why Diana's best friend, a usually lively and energetic girl, didn't do so.
It wasn't that she didn't try; She tried more than anyone else did. But she couldn't let go. She denied counseling, falling into a well-disguised depression within a week of Diana's death. No one suspected. To the outside world, it seemed she was getting along fine, having let go. But she never did let go, which everyone failed to see.
Everyone, that is, except Diana herself, watching from a place betweeen Heaven and Hell, waiting for her funeral in order to move on, as does everyone after death. But her funeral, which commences a week after her death, leaves her uncomfortable, concerned about her friend, who she could see wasn't handling it well, which went unnoticed to everyone else attending the service.
Diana couldn't bring herself to leave for Heaven when she knew her friend was suffering so. It pained her even to consider it. As though reading her thoughts, which certainly described the situation accurately, an angel appeared to her, granting her a phantom body in which only her best friend (unless she chose otherwise) could see her. She was solid, just unharmable.
Meanwhile, her friend is visiting her grave continuously, only leaving to sleep and eat. It's a particularly stormy night, just a day after the Saturday funeral, when Diana reappears by her grave in the mortal world. Her best friend catches a glimpse of her, but believes she is only hallucinating, and drives home through the storm. but Diana is waiting for her when she gets home.
Diana's goal is to put her friend to peace, get her to let go, for their own good. But her best friend refuses to do so, and Diana's presence only makes it worse, even though, at first, she still believes it's all a hallucination.
This is the story of two best friends, preparing to part for a lifetime, yet not truely wishing to do so.
Note to You
So, first off, we will not be picking up where the intro leaves off.
We will actually begin with the accident, and your character getting the news.
Then we'll TS to the funeral, with Diana watching from the Between.
Then we'll TS to the next day, in the graveyard, and then to your charrie's house.
I have no real rules for this RP, other than asking for dedication.
I understand that you have a life, so I'm only asking for once or twice a week, and posting whenever you're online.
Since this is a 1x1, you only need to wait for me to post before you post again.
No, I will not be posting 24-7, so don't worry about that.
I'm in the midst of school, so I have homework all the time.
I'm also a soccer player, so that takes time away as well.
Now about the gender requirement, there is a reason for it.
No, we're not playing a lesbian relationship.
This is a friendship RP, nothing more.
Sappy romance would ruin the whole plot, in my eyes.
The character sheet is simple, because I feel, in 1x1s, characters should be explored through interaction.
All I'm requiring is their name, a picture (real or drawn), and five descriptive words about your character, as they are both 17 (going on 18) females.
That's about it.
Oh, and once you reserve the other character, you needn't wait for my approval to post your CS.
Yes, you must still reserve it, but that's so I do not recieve multiple applicants.
It would probably be best that you post your bio right away, too, because I'm only giving 24 hours for it to be posted, as it'll only take about five minutes, unless you look for a picture for a long time.
I'll have Diana's bio up momentarily.
The CS is below.
