Introduction
New York! The city of dreams, and fame. What would you give up to make it big?
This roleplay will focus on a number of people living in an apartment complex in Brooklyn. None of them are from New York originally and all of them have a secret for why they've come or why they've become who they are. Yes, they all have a dream and want to make it big... but there are other reasons for them leaving home. One girl has recently been let out of jail for drinking and driving, another has crippling stage fright, and one guy was fired from his job for sleeping with his boss. What's your secret and can you get past it in order to make it in this fast paced city?

RULES:
1. This is a semi-literate RP. At least two paragraphs per post and minimum spelling/grammatical errors.
2. The usual no God Modding.
3. Characters must be 21+
4. You can play up to three characters. But please try to balance genders! If there are a ton of female characters, don't join with three girls. :P
5. Your character SHOULD interact with all the other characters.
6. Romance is encouraged but people this is a realistic RP, they just don't lay their eyes on each other and be sleeping the next day. Take it to the next level, we have what we call "getting to know each other" stages.
7. Don't make your secret too morbid like "murder" YET don't make your secret "I am a really rich heir/heiress trying to find the real meaning of life that's why I ran away from home and now I'm struggling". PLEASE, have mercy!
8. HAVE FUN! It gets irritating when our RP is all about sadness and pain.
9. PM your 'secret' to myself or lovechanningforever for approval.
10. Keep it interesting, nuff said.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The apartment block is very old and actually used to be a warehouse, but it has been converted into apartments. Each apartment is very large with many windows, but has no walls (unless you count some wooden panels that have been put up) and very old appliances (which boarder on ancient). Depending on the tenants, the place can look anywhere from run down and depressing to very interesting and full of character. It's hot in the summer and freezing in the winter, but the rent is cheap and it's in a decent location (as far as Brooklyn is concerned).

Setting
0.00 INK
"Oh hey, what's the commotion all abo- oh my!" She greeted her neighbors when she found her newest neighbor, Sian, in a very awkward position. She quickly rushed to her side and covered her up while glaring at the two guys. "What are you two doing staring at her like that?" Her eyes big as saucers and tried to cover Shan's and Riley's eyes.
"Girl, go on. Hurry and go inside the elevator." Without looking at the red head, she told her to rush as her hands covered both the guy's sight.
"Go on... Hurry!" She couldn't believe how embarrassing it could have been. Even Penny yapped from all the commotion.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Riley was even surprised with everything that had happened it the last ten minutes. Next thing he knew Lee was covering up Sian in the awkward situation. "Hey, I just saw here her. Not my fault but..." He was about to say something else when Lee continued to cover her eyes. "Wait Lee, I'm just-" She tried to shove her away to say sorry to Sian about the situation when suddenly he had moved her too hard that next thing he saw she was about to fall on her butt.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Wait Lee, I'm just-" Were the last words Riley was telling her when she felt that he had shoved her too hard. Since she was wearing some high heels, Lee's left foot slipped and she got off balanced. The only thing she was able to hold on to was Shan's shirt. Everything went by so fast that all she was able to do was close her eyes and waited for her to fall on the floor.

New York: The City That Never Sleeps
Most recent OOC posts in New York: The City That Never Sleeps
Re: [OOC] New York: The City That Never Sleeps
I had the most amazing time, and I have way more stories than I can even remember lol (A lot of them are probably not appropriate for this setting too. lol) but it was fantastic, thanks for asking!
I have a lot more time as well. I've got a couple weeks before classes start again, and it is a light semester for me so I'll have time to spare. :)
As far as how things are going currently, Orlando needs to respond to Bella and Clara needs to get back to John about the job... but I haven't seen Lily post in a while. :/
Re: [OOC] New York: The City That Never Sleeps
And no you are certainly not kicked out. I sort of stayed away from this for a bit because I wasn't sure where to take it or who was even still interested. I',m game for keeping it going, though! And can be more committed now.
Lovechanningforever and Alan, are you two still interested? Snicker, are you still game?

Re: [OOC] New York: The City That Never Sleeps
So far here are some suggestions:
1. for those who didn't bother to post again, let's pretend they moved out.
2. casting convention
3. someone wants to take the building down.
Re: [OOC] New York: The City That Never Sleeps
These things happen all the time in New York, casting companies rent out conventino centers and spaces to send people to scout out some new and upcoming talent, in all the Arts. Maybe a few conventions happen in town and the guys start heading after their dreams. I don't know if they should come anywhere near success yet though.

Or maybe if in case the others won't be returning to play in the RP we can pretend that they moved out. Whatcha say Kenzi?
Re: [OOC] New York: The City That Never Sleeps
As to where to take it - what about the apartment building is about to be demolished, and the tenants put on a multi-talent show to raise money to save it? Just kicking ideas around here, I'm sure others can come up with something more interesting.
Re: [OOC] New York: The City That Never Sleeps
It may sound mean but at least some people should have the decency to say they're no longer interested instead of leaving us hanging. Right?
Maybe a vote would be good.
Who wants forget about the night and start with the "tomorrow" post? (Did I made any sense?! LOL). Say YAY!
Who are those who still wants to linger in the night? Say NAY!
I vote YAY!
