// ooc basic explanation and rules

rules: no nsfw asks, but innuendo is fine! please ask before attempting to engage in rp with this blog i can ignore your ask if im uncomfortable, please respect that whats this? this is an ask blog where i rp as certain characters from the princeton tapes, however, its going to be vinny centric. other characters may be featured!

err im confused, whats the princeton tapes? its the iteration of everymanhybrid that takes place in the late 80s, you can listen to them on youtube here, and here! my designs for the mining town four are really different in this so. just dont expect canon compliance

how many mods are on here? just me— if anything looks inconsistent it’s because 1) im lazy 2) i draw on my phone and my computer 3) i forgor

do you know anyone by the name of roger?

[A NUMBER OF HMMS, AND HAAHS ARE AUDIBLE AS HE THINKS.]

“I’ve met a lot of people. It sounds familiar, but I don’t know, maybe we went to college together? Some part of me is thinking college. Another part is thinking party… and the other part isn’t sure I ever met anyone named Roger at all.”

what Princeton tapes did y’all watch

[asktheprincetontapes]

No such thing as a life not worth remembering, Vincent! If you don't know where you're from how could you possibly know where you're going? I'm sure it will all come to you in due time, meanwhile I got you something to cheer you up .

[[Attached to the letter is a smaller envelope with five dollars and a note reading "Don't spend it in one place :)]]

"...yeah, i think maybe if your life was worse, you wouldn't have this outlook. i've done a lot of embarassing bullshit in my life that i would love to never remember,"

"...five bucks, uh, thanks. i didn't know the people writing me were so generous. hey, if all of you send me money, i'll remember to send tapes back faster. or maybe i'll start checking my mail more often..."

[asktheprincetontapes]

you forget a lot don't you?

[A STRANGE LOOK APPEARS ON HIS FACE. BITTER. FAMILIAR. A THOUSAND TIMES HE'S HEARD THIS.]

"uh, yeah,"

[HOLDS BACK A SNORT.]

"i've been in and out of rehab my whole life, and the shit before that... isn't worth remembering."

[asktheprincetontapes]

" found an old picture in a box, sometime around when i first met evan. this is why you dont let your friends get piss drunk at parties. he fell onto a coffee table, taking me down with him. i still have a scar from where my head hit the corner. "

Anything cool ever happen to you

"i dont know if anything cool happens to me, most of the time it's just something mildly fucked up and i have to go 'wow, that was a thing that did happen, i hope that it doesn't affect me later' and move on with my life,"

[A PAUSE] "one time i didn't have enough money in my wallet to pay for my sandwich and the guy behind the counter let me take it for free. that was pretty cool."

You hear a mumbled conversation as a group passes.

[asktheprincetontapes]

hey!! whats going on with you?

“right now? nothing, really.”

“yesterday evan dragged me to the arcade, though. he didn’t even play any games, he just hovered over jeff and smoked. i told them about you guys. about my mystery mail. evan asked if i was on drugs again. i told him that it wasn’t that, and i showed him the one i got about guns and roses. he said it wasnt a big deal. maybe i had fans, i deserve them for how much i play with my tape recorder, is what he said. i don’t think he gets that im not trying to share this with people.”

[A SIGH, FOLLOWED BY A DRAWN OUT SILENCE.]

“what are you?”

[ END TAPE. ]

[asktheprincetontapes]

You like that new guns n roses album out?

“oh yeah, evan let me borrow one of their albums the other day, i dont really listen to music other then what i already have, so… i thought it was cool. i… uh, need to give that back to him eventually,”

[asktheprincetontapes]

I'm here to talk about our lord and savior Jesus christ

[ YOU HEAR THE FAINT CRINKLING OF PAPER, THEN THE LID OF A TRASHCAN OPENING AND CLOSING. ] "fuckin' junk mail..." [ END TAPE ]

[asktheprincetontapes]

"okay, something... weird happened today." "i was just... checking the mail, when i got this weird letter, talking about... more to come, some dumb shit about how im being... projected to somewhere else. the future, or something. i'm... tempted to just throw it out, but... i dont know. i feel like i shouldn't. it's got no return address, no stamps, just... telling me to wait for more. i dont know what to do. i guess all i can do is wait."

[END OF TAPE. VINNY IS NOW AVAILABLE FOR ASKS.]
