braedon, nebraska. a run down town west of the missouri river, where the residents know everything about one another - or so they believe. when a young, ambitious senior at the local high school goes missing, however, suddenly everyone's a suspect. after all, everyone has secrets.

Just curious how active is this rp? I'm thinking about applying!
we’d love some new members! things have been a little quieter than normal due to hectic schedules between school and work, but with some fresh blood in the mix and upcoming plot drops i know we’ll be picking up to normal activity ASAP!
thank you!! we’re a little quiet right at the moment - finals for some, crazy work schedules with the holidays for others - but after this next week we should be back on track with some great plot and challenges coming up!
the subject of this headcanon prompt is appearance. some questions to consider when working on your prompt:
what’s their usual style? how has it changed over the years?
how did puberty hit them? was it all at once, early on, later, slowly over time. etc.?
do they look like anyone in particular in their family? mother, father, grandparent, etc.?
do they have a statement piece, such as sunglasses or a scarf that they always have with them? or maybe a mole or a crooked tooth that everyone identifies with them?
what tattoos and piercings do they have, if any? if none, do they want some? do they want more?
how does their health affect their appearance? think: do they wear glasses or contacts, have they had braces or cavities, etc.
do they have any scars? what are they from?
does their mood affect their appearance? do they change their clothes when they’re happy vs. sad? do they have a special ‘date night’ look? a look that people know means they’re in a certain mood?
how does their job and/or their environment affect their appearance? do they have to wear a uniform? what would they wear if they didn’t need to?
and more !
feel free to get as in depth as you’d like. remember that while we all have faceclaims, they only need to be a bouncing board for how you envision the character. for example, while your faceclaim may never wear glasses, maybe your muse does, or vice versa.
paras, journal entries, moodboards, aesthetics, etc. are all welcome! remember to tag them all with blacknightrpg so we can see your new content!
as time moves on from the disappearance and murder of natasha halpert, life in braedon seems to go back to normal. the school is gearing up for finals, snow blankets the town regularly, and the curfew that had been enforced only a month ago seems to be all but ignored again.
the annual holiday festival had been debated about merely a month ago, but now in the lure of safety and silence from any other impending disaster, it’s all systems go. starting on friday, december 14th until friday, december 21st the entire town transforms into a winter wonderland: gingerbread building contests, snowman building contests, various residents playing as santa at the coffee shop to take tots off tired mom’s hands, decorations sparkling as the night falls early.
some can’t help but feel like this town is tainted, that things have moved forward too fast. but with the state troopers heading back home to their own families and the case being listed as ‘cold’ in all senses of the world, being filed away unfinished, there’s not much else to do.
whoever killed natasha halpert got away with it.
for now.
but even while teens sneak back into the barn for late night benders and lines of cocaine out of their parents eyes, the cheer squad appointing a new captain to replace their missing star, jonathan halpert disappearing in the middle of the night and leaving his wife and remaining daughter behind, someone in town knows what happened.
and some refuse to let it stay secret for long.
for players
this post is primarily an update on what’s happening with the case. while winter esposito and noel ashford continue to work on it, most have written it off as unsolvable, including the rest of their small department.
over the course of the week of friday december 14th until friday december 21st town members will float in and out of the town square to participate in a variety of holiday themed events and activities, including but not limited to contests, caroling, arts and crafts, baking, etc.
those involved in the death of natasha halpert are beginning to rest a little easier, assuming that none know of their participation. at the moment, it seems as if they have truly gotten away with murder.
please like this post once you’ve read it, so that we know you’re still intending to participate in our group. it will count as an activity check, and you have until the end of the day on wednesday, december 12th to do so.

writing sample
Her mornings often started far earlier than most people would like – something her husband used to groan about as she’d make noise to get out of bed and start her day, his own night having been longer than hers, apparently – but now the bed beside her lay bare and it was quieter.
As she rose, she drew the curtains back from the windows to allow sunlight to pour in within the next twenty minutes; still too early now, peeks of crimson and pink across the horizon but not enough to even cast her shadow across the wooden slats behind her.
It took her a time to get used to being upright, as it always had, and she hovered in front of the mirror in her bathroom – a simple oval, marked with weathering from years of use and standing above a single, stand-alone sink basin, and stared at herself in her reflection.
Every day she’d stand there, hazed by the heaviness of sleep still clinging to her eyes and her mind, trying to grasp dreams she’d left behind in her rumpled sheets and drawing faint lines across the mirrors surface to trace her own features. Today I’ll be happy, she said to herself in her mind, today’s the day everything goes right.
Every day she’d say these words, and every day she truly believed she might achieve that… but it only took the six steps from her sink to the shower and the time it took to turn the water to its hottest for those dreams to evaporate like the steam rising from her tub.

age & birthdate // 26, June 25
sexuality // Questioning

writing sample
“Alright girls, good job today!” Kelsey called out to her squad, walking to the bench where she left her duffel, waving them off to go enjoy the rest of their day. The smile that was on her face when addressing the girls fell as she grabbed her towel and dreaded the rest of her night. Purposefully, before heading into the locker room, she waited until the last of the girls had left so she could shower in peace.
It was a normal routine for her to wait for them to leave. Not because she was self conscious, but because she needed the time to cool down before returning home. Once the adrenaline of the practices wore off, Kelsey always found herself somewhat upset. She questioned the practice, if she gave good enough advice, really, she questioned everything. It’s why she needed the alone time to get back into a headspace that was positive enough to go home and continue going through the motions of life.
Before showering she looked at herself in the mirror. Tired, she looked tired. Which was true, she wasn’t prone to a getting a good night of sleep, but that had more to do with the fact that her mind wandered too much and less to do with not having time to sleep. Sighing, she grabbed the change of clothes in her bag and headed into the shower. She’d have to remember to re-apply her makeup once finished. Even if she was tired and sad, she didn’t have to look it. If she looked put together, in her mind, everyone else would think she was put together.
After showering quickly and getting dressed she checked her phone and set a quick text message to her fiance.
“Practice is over, home soon, need anything??”
Gabriel didn’t text back, something that didn’t surprise her, so after getting dressed she texted Alexander instead, knowing if anything, he could get her back into a decent mindset of sorts. Or at least offer a distraction.
“I’m heading to the gym, be there.”
Kelsey didn’t bother waiting for a reply, only hitting herself for the fact that this shower she took seemed to be for not. She grabbed her things, car keys in hand, and headed out after checking herself in the mirror one more time.
how do we know if the character we want to apply for has any relationship with natasha??
we’re allowing the players to come up with their own interpretation of their relationship with natasha! there’s tons of different possibilities; perhaps they knew her through the school, through the local church, maybe they were in the same neighborhood, etc. it’s a chance to see how natasha has affected all different people in town. for example, yale was her former babysitter. if you’re looking for a specific idea for a specific character, feel free to ask us and we can float some ideas by you!
