Hello, I was just wondering, what an activity level is? And how it is measured (1-10). Thank you(:
It's basically how active you can be in the RP. Say you work, have 10 other RPs and are never really around to post, then that would be 1 and something we're not looking for. 10 means you'll be around a heck of a lot. The higher the number means you will be posting throughout the day, replying to paras and not just posting once and leaving us all hanging. Be sure to answer honestly, though. Hope that helped!
I feel terrible doing this - but with college approaching in just a couple of days, I've come to the decision that you guys deserve a Quinn who can be more active than I can. Even though I was only here briefly, you all managed to make me feel welcome and creative, something I thoroughly enjoyed. Consider this my resignation, and thank you so much for letting me play with you.
Alright, I understand completely. It was lovely having you with us and I hope to RP with you again soon if you're ever not busy. Good luck with school and thanks again for being such an awesome Quinn!

There was no welcome party as she stepped out of the terminal. No one running to her with huge hugs, teddy bears, or balloons like others who’d just flown in to meet loved ones and various other reasons. No, there wouldn’t be anything like that in Lima. She might have been born and raised there but it didn’t mean she’d gotten along with anyone. She’d been that hot cheerleader who got the things she wanted …everything she wanted. She appeared perfect and carefree. The truth was no one knew the struggle she’d gone through on a daily basis. How difficult it’d actually been to walk through the halls of Wilson day after day with that same plastered on smirk making it look like things were more than alright. Yea, she knew how to play the game. Heck, she’d practically invented the game. The game that had gotten her through four years of high school without being judged for a broken home life or a couple of bruises. It might have been pathetic to say but she was almost satisfied with the way it’d been done. With how she’d gotten out of Lima. the way no one knew the truth behind any of her lies.
Part of her completely disagreed with herself at this whole idea. What was she doing? She hated Lima. She hated the plain, boring, and anti climatic town. The stuck up and self absorbed people she’d grown up with. Whatever part of this that told her this was a good idea she suddenly wondered about their mental state. There was a huge part of her that wanted to walk to the service desk to buy a ticket to get out of there. To pick some random destination in the world and move there where she could start over without anyone knowing her. But, that was crazy and irresponsible. Yea, for once she was thinking about responsibilities. Who would have thought that day would actually come? There’s a first time for everything right? This would be the first time for a lot of things, the first time to actually settle down home and consider righting some of the wrong that she’d done in the past. Would she actually go through with any of it? …most likely not. The word sorry didn’t exactly exist in her vocabulary. Maybe she was sick the day that they’d taught it… maybe.
Heading straight to the rental car pick up there was hardly a wait, then again this was Cincinnati… not exactly traffic nation of the world. “Lopez, Santana Lopez,” giving the guy behind the counter her name and a coy smirk she put her hand out for the keys for the sports car she’d had held there hours in advance as she waited almost impatiently for him to fetch the reservation and keys. Just like she’d known he’d do he gave her a once over apparently liking what he saw as his hand lingered a moment too long in hers while placing the keys down and his eyes had their own conversation with their chest. This was the reason she’d given up modeling. For some reason her body felt the need to give guys permission to stare and be perverted without telling her brain that it was okay. One would think after so long she’d been used to the looks and wouldn’t be completely bothered by their rude stares. Nope, she still had the same reaction as always. Her eyes rolled in disgust as she slipped the silver credit card across the counter before crossing her arms at her chest. That slimy look that guys gave would always make her feel dirty.
She’d signed the papers and accepted the keys, putting up with his stares and avoiding his comments. Truth was, she just wanted out of the airport. jingling the keys in her hand as she turned her back to the service desk she headed to pick up her luggage, most of it was coming by truck in the morning. Wasn’t like she could have packed her whole closet in suitcases, she wouldn’t have been able to get on the plane with all of that. This whole thing was taking too long and she was impatient, she just wanted to go home. …home? To the house the real estate agent had told her she needed. Her only request had been that it was nowhere near her father’s house and within plenty of walking distance to the cemetery. Early morning runs to talk with her mom had been something she’d missed for the past five years, she was actually looking forward to resuming that again. Not that she had much to report on about her time in California. At least nothing that her mother would love to hear about she was sure. Being inside of magazines wasn’t all that it was cracked up to be.
Now she was coming home to a town that she was sure probably hardly had anyone in it, well, with the exception of Brittany. At least she had someone right? It had to be better than being completely alone. Besides, distance and the years that had passed couldn’t have changed the fact that they were still close. They each knew things about one another that probably shouldn’t and wouldn’t ever be shared with anyone else. With her bag on her shoulder she pushed out the heavy glass door and into the lot, it’d be a little bit of a drive now to Lima but maybe, just maybe this would be worth it. Maybe something would allow her to fit that void that for some reason she couldn’t quite kick…
Out of nowhere, everyone's computer flashes on and the homepage of The Lima Times comes up. Looks like there's a friendly ghost who wants you all to know what's going on outside...
Families Grieve, Evidence Is Found
As hundreds of Lima citizens flocked to McKinley High School for the Sunday Memorial Service in honor of the students lost at the Watson Mansion Tragedy, the investigation continued around town. Detectives and FBI Agents have been brought in to crack the case. This has easily become the biggest crime to occur in Lima history since the equally horrific shooting at the Watson Mansion during the Great Depression.
The Memorial was a simple service, hosted by New Directions Director, William Schuester. He led the mourners in singing what was apparently a New Directions Classic: Don't Stop Believin'. "Those kids were everything to me. I know I was supposed to teach them, but it they were the ones who taught me," he spoke to the crowd. "I'll miss Rachel's bright smiles and enthusiasm. Finn's dancing. Quinn's grace. Santana's attitude. Blaine getting up on top of the furniture. All of them... I just can't..." he expressed, but became too emotional and had to be consoled by Cheerios coach Sue Sylvester.
He spoke for the grieving crowd and presented a slide show of pictures of those lost. The presentation was quite revealing in that it showed everyone just how connected all of the students were. Even those who didn't attend McKinley had some ties to the members of New Directions. For instance, David Karofsky had previously attended McKinley and had reportedly bullied Kurt Hummel. Harmony Pearce had competed against New Directions just this year and was a NYADA hopeful--the Academy that other victim, Rachel Berry, was supposed to attend in the fall. To make things even more interesting, Jesse St. James had apparently attended McKinley for a few short months in his senior year and had dated Rachel Berry. "He was a jerk. He broke my sweet Rachel Berry's heart when he broke eggs on her head. I wouldn't be surprised if he organized the whole thing and killed them all. He hated the New Directions and he's probably out there somewhere still alive," said McKinley student, Jacob Ben Israel.
Coming to his defense was an attendee who apparently knew him and a few members of New Directions really well. Shelby Corcoran, previous coach of Carmel's Vocal Adrenaline and McKinley's The Troubletones, spoke on his behalf saying that Jesse was, "A really great kid who had just made some really great mistakes." When asked who she was there for, she had said everyone. "My heart was with a lot of these kids. Rachel was my biological daughter and Jesse was like a son to me. Quinn Fabray and Noah Puckerman were the parents of my daughter, Beth. I coached a lot of them... It's such a tragedy."
Accusations such as his have been raising eyebrows around town. "Anyone can be a suspect. Even one of the students, themselves. We're not ruling anything out," said Chief of Police, Roger Willis. "So people like St. James are indeed seen as suspects. It could be any of them or their parents or teachers. Whoever it is, we'll find out."
"I'll bet it was one of the parents or Schuester, himself," said an anonymous Lima resident. "None of them should be allowed to leave town until the case is solved." That's exactly what's happening. The police have reportedly warned all the potential suspects that they shouldn't leave town. Each family member and teacher has submitted to questioning, but the police don't seem to be getting anywhere. The lack of movement in the case has been raising problems among townspeople and they're becoming more and more vocal about their accusations. In fact, the end of the ceremony today was interrupted by a fight among attendees. Cheerios coach Sue Sylvester had to be the one to break up the arguments between a few riled up townspeople and suspect Burt Hummel- father of victim, Kurt Hummel. "He did it! Of course he thinks his son is still alive! He'd spare him!" A few other parents, notably the Berrys, had come to his aid and spoke in his defense. "This is starting to become madness. Pointing fingers isn't getting us anywhere but making the grieving process even harder," said an upset Hiram Berry. "Burt's a family friend. His son was our daughter's best friend. We know that he wasn't responsible and the finger pointing is just downright cruel," said LeRoy Berry.
"This whole thing hasn't been good on his health," explained Hummel's wife, Carole. "He hasn't been sleeping and has hardly been eating. He really thinks Kurt is out there and I'm just worried. If I lose him next..." She was too overcome with grief to continue the interview and had asked to be excused.
On the investigation front, some interesting evidence had been recently discovered at the Watson Mansion. Forensic investigators have been studying a trace of blood on the kitchen window and have identified it belonging to Jesse St. James. In addition, a shoe was found in the basement and was recently identified as belonging to Rachel Berry. It isn't much, but it's something. And so the investigation goes on...
Only this time, it doesn't stay open as long as the last one. It only stays open long enough to tease anyone nearby with a small summer breeze. Just before it slams shut, the breeze carries in a curious piece of paper that you might be interested in reading...
THE LIMA TIMES
BREAKING NEWS: TEENAGE TRAGEDY AT THE WATSON MANSION!
A Cheerleader. A future Yale Student. Two Broadway hopefuls. A future soldier... Gone.
What started as an innocent get together of old friends at Lima's alleged "haunted hot spot" has quickly turned into a tragedy. For weeks now, a group of teens from Lima and the surrounding area have been declared missing. Not much was known about there whereabouts, except for what their parents were told before they left. "They were supposed to stay at the mansion for a week to tape a show... Most of them had just graduated high school and they wanted to have some fun together before they said goodbye. My Finn was about to go in the army when he got out..." explained a tearful Carole Hudson-Hummel. Her husband, Burt Hummel, is the father of another one of the missing: Kurt Hummel. "He has a whole future in front of him and I'm going to fight to find him. I know my boy is out there."
Many parents of the missing clung to hope over the past few weeks. In fact, Hiram and LeRoy Berry were the most vocal in their attempts to find their daughter, Rachel, who was just about to head off to New York City to start college at the world renown New York Academy of the Dramatic Arts. "This started in that mansion, and it's going to end there. It's obvious that whoever sent them there had other intentions and there will be hell to pay when we find out who is responsible," said an angry LeRoy Berry. "We just want to bring her home. We'll find her if it's the last thing we do," said an emotional Hiram Berry.
Hope was all they had and apparently it wasn't enough. A full on investigation was executed and the old mansion was seized and searched. To the surprise of investigators, there weren't any of teens to be found. Not alive, at least. The investigation took a turn for the worst when the body of who was later identified as McKinley student, Joe Hart, was found just outside on the grounds. The coroner report said that the cause of death was decapitation from quick force to the neck. Whether or not it was an accident or murder is yet to be determined. His head has yet to be found.
A final piece of evidence was discovered at the scene of the crime. A note was found in one of the rooms from an anonymous writer. The full document has yet to be released, but Lima Chief of Police, Roger Willis, had one thing to say about it. "This is the first time something has happened at Watson since the Massacre in the 20s. Whoever brought these kids here meant to do them harm. They were nowhere to be found in the house, but the killer left a note saying that they were all dead. They left us details on where to find the rest of the bodies, so we're going to see what we find. It's a dark day in Lima... these kids had dreams. Futures. And now they're gone. It's not right and we're going to solve this. We know one thing, though. Most of those kids were in the same Glee Club. The rest had either been in it at one point,were competitors, or knew someone in it. They weren't brought there by luck and we're going to get some answers."
Coach of New Directions William Schuester is reporting to cancel any future plans with New Directions. "They're all gone. It wouldn't be right to continue," he was quoted to say. Schuester along with every parent of those lost are considered possible suspects as the investigation goes on.
Below is a list of the dead. A memorial will be held at William McKinley High School on Sunday morning, led by New Directions' Director William Schuester.

He made performing his life and was destined to be a star and he knew it. But not many people know that he had such a huge heart. That's the Jesse I'll remember," said his uncle Jonathan St. James. "I just can't believe we won't get to see him singing songs for us at the piano anymore," said his aunt Claire St. James. He also leaves behind a younger brother and sister in Akron.
Anyone who may know anything about the crime are encouraged to contact Lima's Police Station. All calls will be kept confidential.
And the second the clock struck midnight, a loud bang can be heard all throughout the house as the window slam shut on one of your friends. They had made it outside onto the ledge, but after a close call with a bolt of lightning, they decided it would be wiser to head back inside. Just when their head was inside the safety of the mansion, the window came right down and severed it off completely. The only problem is that it's still there in the hall, with eyes open in horror from their sudden death.
Be careful because you just might see their ghost roaming the halls now...
Say goodbye to our teen Jesus. Maybe he's in a better place now, but probably not.He did die in the Watson Mansion, after all.
