As for plot—
We could go very classic and go the 'someone gets sick' route, or the 'we've gone broke' route (or another type of -us against the world- story), or a nice and simple "we've got respective problems and we'll sort it out together" type of thing.
Or maybe on Lilly's side something really big is happening but Helen doesn't know about it they're just sort of fighting it through
Or we could make something else up by pulling up example from different stories
Or something could have happened just before the start, and they're dealing with it?
I don't have much of a clear idea either if you couldn't tell ^^'
Well for Lilly's age I would say it's up to you and how you want to develop her, but if you want an age that's sufficiently mature to feel rebellious and angry and angsty but still young enough to be able to have really vulnerable, soft, 'young' moments I would say around about 15 years
Sure! Maybe I can have her around 16 years old, is that okay?

Maybe we can have Lilly in an abusive relationship or something but she doesn't want to tell Helen because she thinks it's too 'childish' or something else. On Helen's side we can have have something else like they're running out of money. Then, after they tell each other their problems, Lilly can help get money for them and Helen could help with school and just relationship stuff in general? I don't know, I just got that idea off the top of my head
That sounds great! Also 16 is perfect
Is there anything else we should settle?
So far, I only have one question, is cursing allowed?
Yeah of course, unless you don't want it
No, I'm perfectly fine with it, I curse like a sailor and so do some of my characters
Can you? I'm bad at starting Sorry
No problem! I was asking if you wanted to start the rp is all, sorry it was badly formulated
Just starting on a normal morning?
Sure! and it's fine, I understand
It was a bright cold day in April, and the alarm rang for 7.00 am
The shrill sound echoed through the sleeping house. Helen sat up in bed with a gasp, the stack of papers sliding off of her lap and onto the floor. It took a few moments of slow blinking and kicking back the blanket for her to realise there had been an order to the papers now scattered on the floor.
"Dammit," she groaned tiredly, rolling out of her bed and sleepily kneeling on the floor, eyes still have closed. She resisted down on the wood and attempted to gather her work.
"Lilly!" she called out brusquely. "Wake up!"
(It's fine)
Lilly groaned when she heard her mother call out her name, shifting around under the covers and getting into a sitting position. She ran a hand through her red hair, looking around her room. "I'm awake!" She called back, getting out of bed and walking into her bathroom to brush her teeth and wash her face.
Helen trudged downstairs, having thrown on a blue sweater over her thin pyjamas. She set her manuscript on the counter and pulled out the box of cereal and a bottle of milk. She set the table, already sorting out a plan for the day in her head.
(Sure, welcome to the thread!)
(Sorry about that, I'll respond when I get home)
(Thanks for understanding)
Lilly quickly washed her face and brushed her teeth, hoping she had done all her homework last night. She walked back into her bedroom and put on a simple sweater with black ripped jeans and a beanie. She headed downstairs as she rubbed her eyes, trying to be more awake.
(Of course :)
"Good moooorning," Helen called cheerfully when Lilly's footsteps sounded on the creaky stairs. She greeted her daughter with a tight one-armed hug, pushing energy into her movements. "How did you sleep, sweetie?" she asked brightly, setting a bowl of cereal in front of Lilly's spot at the table.
"Good, you?" Lilly asked, leaning into Helen when she was hugged. She sat down in her spot at the table and started eating her cereal, wondering what time it was.
"I…" She started, bustling around the kitchen with one armful of papers and the other a bottle of juice which she set on the table as she sat down, "Slept well."
She poured Lilly and then herself a glass. "Big day today?"
"Yea, ISP is today," Lilly mumbled, taking a sip from her glass. She wasn't sure if she could teach a whole class about a topic and keep them interested.
Helen sighed exaggeratedly, taking a bite of breakfast. "Those poor classmates of yours. Bored to death yet again," she said with a shake of her head. No, wait, too far, she scolded herself internally.
She grinned at Lilly, patting her hand. "I'm kidding. Do you want to go through it again?"
