(Really suggest going to go listen to this song before you join. It will be based off of how I think it means. Also the whole album is super epic I really recommend listening to all of Caravan Palace’s stuff.)
I’ve wanted to escape for forever. Everything is just the same. I go to work with cotton in my ears and with cotton in my eyes as I look around. Whenever someone speaks to me I can only hear muffled words. When I go home I can only see dolls made of wool and string. I’m lonely, afraid, but it’s this life that causes those things. Painful memories sting me as I walk around my own home, my own shoes, my own life… I want to get off of the grid.
So I did.
This story will be about a mentally disfigured individual who has been tragically undermined as a person. He escapes the life he’s living and has dropped his identity with nothing taken with him to show where he went. There was one doll in his life, a co-worker, who knows him well and decides to follow him when they see him leaving for the forest, which is rumored to be the most dangerous place in the city.
(Stalking becuase my rping right now is shit and so is my motivation.)
(Hhh ok. I need a partner waaaaa)
(SOMEONE COME JOIN THIS, EMI IS A HALLA GOOD ROLEPLAYER!)
(If no one joins this, may I?)
(Hey love! You may actually welcome yourself into this RP lmao
I think two days is long enough to wait tbh.)
(This is really your cup of tea, too, isn’t it? I should’ve directly @‘d you to this RP)
(Is it XD! I've been searching for this type of tea for a while. NOw, I have a few questions….))
(oooo yes ask me the questions, Queen, go ahead)
Okay so,
1.) Will the world be viewed in the eyes of any plain person, or will it be from the eyes of the mentally disfigured MC? This is most important, this is seriously going to define my character and even moreso the way this story is going to be visualized.
2.) Are the dolls literal or figment of his mind?
1) My character will be the misfigured MC and yours will be the other worried MC.
2) Real humans, but rather they are dolls to him. So both? But some come from no where depending. Like an example is when he’s home alone he will see them (they’re human-sized as well), and in family pictures he will see them instead of his family. So, like, everyone he knows and sees is a doll.
Okay! Awesome! My Tim-Burton senses are tingling and I love it!
I didn’t think of that tbh but the song inspired me. I loooooove Caravan Palace. Anyway
I loved the song too! And I think it's awesome that you derived this story idea from the song
You really need to check them out, they’re all Electro Swing and it’s all very little heavy electro. They have an awesome winds player, too.
Anyway let me start us off. Want a character sheet orrrr?
(Do YOU want a character sheet?)
(Alright let me start when I get time.)
