Robert Periwinkle and his wife, Camille, owned a theater. The smell of concessions would fill the halls, magnificent plays were performed in that beautiful marble auditorium. But the theater has a secret, stretching back generations: It is ever so slightly alive. The statues move when no-one is looking, the halls whisper with excitement. Even the organ plays by itself, and it makes sounds like an orchestra, with every instrument playing it's part. Now the theater has been passed on to their daughter. But the theater is in danger. Nobody goes to plays anymore, and soon it will have to be closed down unless our characters save it. Can they keep the theater from being shut down, or will it be lost forever?
Rules:
- Same as andrew (Our Supreme Lord and Overseer)'s, along with a few others:
- LGBTQIA+ is totally allowed!
- One character only! Also, wait for me to accept you into the RP and approve your character before you RP.
- Shipping is okay, but only as long as the other person says it's okay.
- No Mary Sues! I cannot stress this enough!
- Proper grammar and punctuation and spelling, please!
- NSFW will be taken to PM/DM (unsure what you call it. I mean the private chat.)
- Have fun!

(can i join? this looks awesome)
Can you make your character now or would you have to do it later? Just wondering, I don't mean to rush you.
Hiya, this is my first time in one of these online roleplaying games, is it alright if I join? This looks very cool and interesting!
(You may all join! Also, @RavenSorceress since this is your first time, allow me to briefly explain how this works:
Okay, so you control your character only, and the format for roleplaying is something like this:
Person 1: "Hi there Alex!" Amanda said, waving to her best friend.
Person 2: "Hey Amanda, what's up?" Alex asked, his shaggy hair bobbing up and down as her ran down the sidewalk to meet Amanda.
I don't exactly know how to explain stuff to you, but if you have questions feel free to ask away!)

Outfit: same as above
Personality: Can be wise and give good advice. However, because she is so old and all the things she has seen she also likes to be playful and reckless. Not take life to seriously. She likes to joke and mess with guests. She is very friendly but also very scared of breaking.
Fun Fact: She has been around since the Roman Empire and hates feeling like aa commodity, a piece of decoration. She really wants to go up on stage with the actors, but that's impossible.
Backstory: Lapis was carved around 29 B.C. She stood in the forum of a wealthy roman senator whose villa was near the temple of Castor and Pollux. When Rome fell she was carted of. When discovered many years later she spent years in museums and the homes of the wealthy before one of the previous owners of the theater bought her many years ago.
Quote: I survived the fall of Rome! No one is taking my theater!
Job At The Theater: one of the statues decorating the halls
Other: She doesn't know who carved her but wishes she could scold him for giving her so many clothes. A girl gets hot!

When she was younger, she didn't like people knowing she didn't have an arm and so she wore long sleeved clothes and gloves. She still wears the gloves cause they're comfortble (https://ae01.alicdn.com/kf/HTB18_mTa41YBuNjy1zcq6zNcXXan/Genuine-Leather-Women-Gloves-Female-Five-Finger-Sheepskin-Gloves-Short-Style-Fashion-Elegant-Zipper-Design-Black.jpg).
