APPLICATIONS - UNSCREENED ( CLOSED )
this means they close at about 11:59 PM CST on the 7th
do not post applications until the subject says OPEN
APPLICATION REMINDERS;
LOOK HERE FIRST If you would like your application to be unscreened please put your application here! If you want to put your application on the screened post, put it here. Before applying make sure you read the application explanation! Do not link applications. Post them in comments! Please fill out every portion, except possibly the orientation section if it does not apply to you and the other section since it is not necessary unless you need it. ALL CHARACTERS 18+ MUST FILL OUT THE ORIENTATION SECTION THIS DOES NOT MEAN ONE WORD. IT MEANS AS IT STATES IN THE APPLICATION EXPLANATION. Only one sample must be linked. Please do not link two samples. If you are putting a housing request in please include a number. If you do not, then it will not be considered. The reason being is that simply putting a name does not help me if the character has not yet apped either. Discuss it together and find a house to put yourself in that fits with your slotting and preferences. Please make sure you run your app sections (personality/samples) through a word counter. I use this one! If they don't comply with the minimum word counts, then no dice. The age rule is non-negotiable. You can beg me to put your 14 looking character who is actually a gazillion in a kid slot all you want but it will not happen. You do not need to reply to your acceptance logged in as the journal. You just need to tell me the journal name so I can accept it to the communities.
3/3
Other: The canon point he's being taken from includes him being hospitalized due to his (vague and mysterious???) illness (whatever it is). Obviously that's all going to be wiped upon arriving in Holly Heights, but it's worth mentioning that it's something that would have an impact on his mental state and frame of mind for some time after arriving.
SAMPLES;
First Person:
[Upon the video feed starting, the viewers are treated to a lot of really shaky camera work. What can be made out is that it appears to be being taken from somewhere outside one of the houses, in the back yard, and once the camera is propped up against something and the motions steady, it's clear that, yeah. Someone's backyard.
The one who can be assumed to be the owner of said backyard (Blond, a little scrawny looking, sunglasses) peeks into the frame, as if to check that it's running, and flashes the video a bright grin. For a moment, he's out of the frame again, but quickly comes back into it a few feet away.]
Hello, my adoring audience! [All of you viewers are apparently audience members now. Good luck.] Are you guys ready to be amazed? Shocked? Mystified? [The final word there being accentuated with a wave of his hands and a wiggle of his fingers. *Mystified*!!] Well, you'd better sit tight, because I am here to blow your socks off!
[And now, leaning off screen for a moment, Birthday returns with... a box. Just a plain cardboard box, which he demonstrates its plainness to the viewers by turning it over so it can be seen from various different angles.] As you can see here, what I have is a regular old box. Nothing special about it, right? Wrong!
[Okay? And now he sets it down in front of himself and rubs his hands together for a moment before making eye contact with the video once again.] As you'll see in just a moment, this box actually contains, [He now drops his voice an octave or two for effect,] dark powers. [And back to normal - ] Those with weak hearts might want to turn the video off now!
[Don't worry, he pauses just so that can be done, for anyone who wants to!]
Now, for the rest of you. Get ready~
Three...!
Two...!
O- [It's at that moment that a loud crashing sound is heard from off screen. Birthday interrupts his countdown with a quiet, 'shit!' before darting off screen in the direction of the noise. The video continues to run for a moment or two, during which the lid of the box pops open to reveal a bouquet of really cheap looking fake flowers peering out of the top. After a few minutes, the feed idles off. Incredible.]
Third Person:
Who would have expected the afterlife to be so... suburban? Not Birthday, that's for sure. Though there's really no indication that this is the afterlife, is there? Other than waking up in that godawful hospital gown, he felt completely fine. Very alive, very... healthy. Weird.
Maybe he wasn't dead, just having some kind of bizarre fever dream that felt unbelievably real. Yeah, that's gotta be a better explanation, he can't just go off and die yet, after all! And what was all this paperwork about now? ... His own house? A car? Who in their right minds would trust him with his own car of all things? Still, seeing it, he can't help but grin and let out a small chuckle. Oh man, Ratio would die if he knew there was some place giving out free cars! After watching two of them get destroyed (along with thinking of the payments for them going straight down the toilet), this would be downright shocking.
Ah, actually... it would definitely be better if he were here to see this place for himself. As far as he can tell right now, though, it looks like he's pretty much alone, in a chair, on the lawn of this admittedly nice looking home. According to all of the information here, the keys, the license... all of this is his to do whatever he wants with! So, tucking the stack of papers under his arm, Birthday quickly hops off the chair, and heads inside to case the joint.
"Man, whoever is in charge of this is seriously too trusting."
Might as well have some fun with this place while he's here.
OTHER;
