How this works: You've all heard of choose-your-own-adventure stories, right? Those books that'll have options for different outcomes at the end of every scene, and you can choose which one you read? This roleplay is a bit like that! Officially, it's a one-on-one with me and one other person, but there will be up to three additional people who get to control what happens (to a certain extent). Every now and then, I'll post several different options for the 'Adventurers' to vote on, thus deciding the outcome of a scene, and the other rper and I will roleplay that outcome!
Rosa Elizabeth Blythe– everybody knows that name. The insane girl, they whisper behind close doors and curtains drawn tight. She'll murder you in your sleep.. But she knows that's not true. She sees things, hears things, beings made of shadow, men that knock on the front door, maids that come in the middle of the night– but there's no one there. This much is correct. There is no one there, or at least that's what everyone tells her. How can she be sure? They all seem as real as can be.
She's rich… They murmur, watching her as she twirls in her gown of scarlet, pearls catching the light. And unmarried. Imagine the dowry…. But no one would marry the crazy young woman who stays locked up in the manor, despite her famed beauty, despite the fact that she's a human being who cries herself to sleep every night because not even her single father loves her, because the demons of her mind come out to play every day with claws that feel very, very real. But no one sees the person inside. No, she's just the insane girl from 31 Pinehyll Road. Alone, forever.
But then a man comes along, a man with a musical laugh and an open smile, a man who doesn't care about her visions, or her nightmares, or the fact that her brain cannot seem to work the way it's supposed to. She falls deeply in love with him– who wouldn't? He's the only one that seems to care about her. Who isn't afraid.
What she doesn't realize: He isn't real. A cruel trick of her imagination, so incredibly tangible and life-like…. but it isn't meant to be. She doesn't know that yet, but it won't be long until she finds out that her whirlwind romance is all in her head.
Overview: Basically, the other roleplayer will be rping as the man Rosa is in love with, who is ultimately a hallucination. Write him like you would any other, real, character, pretend he's not a figment of her imagination. Eventually, you'll be asked to bring another character in, who is real, who will turn out to be a second love interest OR I will ask one of the adventurers to be the second character. I will be playing as Rosa.
