are you all still active? ive kept tabs on the group for years even though i don't have the capacity to join anymore but this is such a testament to a good group.

thank you so so so much for simply taking the time to check in on us.

we are still hanging around, of course it's much slower as a most of us grew up with this group and have busy lives now a days but every so often we come together and get the dash moving.

pspspsps this post has been scheduled to let you know that 2gen will be ending at 6PM est!! Welcome back to the old hags (affectionate)!!

[chwrpg]

WELCOME BACK !

Don't let the cold setting in fool you; Rosewood is as much a hive of activity in the fall as it is during the height of summer. This particular weekend, the cat got out of the bag that someone knows someone who knows someone with access to the keys to Ravenwood's world class indoor aquatic centre. Of course, secrets never stay secrets for long in Rosewood, which can only mean one thing– pool party!

dust off the kids, they're back as of NOW!

as always 2gen will run until we get bored

CREEPY, KOOKY, MYSTERIOUS, SPOOKY ;

Every major holiday there's a buzz around who will have The Party. Sometimes there's no clear front runner so it boils down to where the trendsetters decide to show up, sometimes there's a clear winner and everyone just knows where the most fun will be. This year, a dark horse has won the race– the Addams twins. According to urban legend only a lucky, or perhaps brave, few have actually made it past the threshold of their family's grand gothic mansion and lived to tell the tale. That they'll be opening their home on Halloween of all nights screams 'looking for blood sacrifices', but who could turn down an invite to the party of the moment? Rather than relying on corny, cheap scares the house is genuinely creepy by nature. It creaks and moans, and it always feels like something is watching. Not to mention Mr and Mrs Addams' affinity for the macabre– a collection of ancient artefacts and torture devices truly set the mood. So, if you dare, accept your invitation to the party of the moment... and hope you live to tell the tale.

Party starts now!!

the rose gala ;

As always the upper echelons are fundraising for one thing or another– depends who's chairing as to how genuine the intent is. For most it's more of an excuse to get dressed up and have a night out than anything, and this gala is no different. Champagne is flowing, the ballroom is adorned with an insurmountable number of roses, and of course there's a cheeky side exit for those wanting to sneak off for some privacy. Just make sure prying eyes aren't nearby, we all know Rosewood loves to gossip and it's certainly been a while since that rabid beast of a rumour mill has had a decent meal...

MORE INFORMATION ;

this event will run from NOW until we're done

as always, looks should be tagged with #chwstyle

i (brando) am hoping to line up at least one event per month from here out, so if there's anything you want to see or celebrate let me know xoxo

frosé day! ;

Once again the Stifler family have opened the gates of their country club to the wider Rosewood community for the annual Frosé Day Pool Parté. Whether you actually get in the impressive lagoon-style pool or prefer to laze alongside it is up to you. The country club also boasts a range of other facilities including a world class golf course, tennis and basketball courts, and a mini movie theatre for those with the skin of a killer seeking a quieter moment out of the summer sun.

this event will run from NOW until next Sunday, with the option to extend

darling it's better down where it's wetter ;

For this year's Pride we will be throwing it back to one of Rosewood's most iconic - The Mermaid Ball. It is the era of remakes, after all. Upon walking through the rain tunnel, entering Katz is like dropping into a tropical reef. The club is full of life and colour on every level– in true Rosewood fashion even the bathrooms are decked out like Ariel's grotto. Beware the Sea Witch serving shots at the bar, they're no joke. Bubbles drift through the air and the stage is set for a plethora of performances from Rosewood's favourite LGBT+ icons. Dance, music, drag, everything is on the table when the only category is to serve.

WELCOME BACK TO 2GEN !

The sun is shining, the tank is clean, and a number of stages have been set up at the festival grounds to accommodate the packed roster of artists set to perform. Which category do you fall into? The music buffs who have their whole day mapped out to squeeze in as many sets as possible, the fashion forward who are just there to get the best insta-worthy shots, the party animals simply seeking the best vibes... or perhaps you're lucky enough to be on the stage yourself. Either way the best views are from center stage or the top of the ferris wheel so pack your SPF and stay hydrated because it's gonna be a long weekend!

MORE INFORMATION;

2gen starts NOW! The festival event will run for the entire week, but as usual 2gen itself will run until we're out of steam!!

as always, fits should be tagged with #chwstyle, and festival playlists with #chwplaylist

WELCOME BACK TO 2GEN!

Bring the drama, bring the joy, bring the shock and the horror, but also bring a chair for a front row seat. Maximalism is standard in dear Rosewood, so someone must be left cleaning up something spectacular in the holiday aftermath. Who had a holiday confession? Who suffered a faux pas worth skipping town for? Who is sticking to their new year's resolutions and who has already gone down in flames? Laundry and taxes are nice but what we really want to know is who got caught drinking from the bath tub?

The holidays may have came and went— but as several members of our CHW community love to state, what is time anyways?

So with that mantra in mind, we the admins have decided that we'd love a peek into the future. Whilst, we do intend on our well known second generation event returning to the dash (sooner than you think)... we want to see what the holidays have looked like for the kids of our characters.

Below, we have a list of prompts and we'd love to see your response to them. Let's get into the lore of some of these 2gen kids, why don't we?

001. under the mistletoe—

who has your character found themselves kissing due to mistletoe? who was their first and who might have been their most recent.

002. in front of the fireplace, cuddled up under a blanket with a hot drink.

who did they find themselves snuggled up with, this holiday season? what was running through their minds in those more quiet moments? if they didn't find themselves with anyone... who might they have wanted to find themselves with? or who have they been snuggled up with in the past? do they currently miss that person.

003. snowed in from a heavy snow storm.

in the grand tradition of freak snow storms that happen to group people together in rosewood— list five (5) people your character would or wouldn't want to find themselves snowed in with.

004. at a busy dinner table, food piled on the center and family chaos ensuing around the house.

what does the holiday dinner usually look like for your characters family? who's typically on the guest list? is it a scene straight out of the bear holiday episode or is it a bit more something out of a hallmark movie?

005. standing in front of the christmas tree, decorating it with an assortment of baubles, lights and tinsel.

who is the one making the executive decisions when it comes to the tree in your characters house hold? does it often look like the textbook christmas tree or does it have a lot more flair? did it fit through the front door with ease or was it a whole family affair.

006. setting out snacks for santa and his reindeers. don't forget the milk and cookies for christmas hardest workers!

which parent was most likely to be the designated cookie eater? was there ever a moment your character came to find santa in the act? who did they and/or the parent react?

007. at the mall, waiting in line to sit on santa's lap and spill your christmas gift wishes. will you be deemed naughty or nice?

it's pretty self explanatory— would your character be considered naughty or nice this year? what would their reaction to that?

008. exchanging and open gifts, anticipating what gift they may get. is it something cool or just another pair of socks?

what was on your characters wishlist this year? better yet, what was the best present they received? Or have ever received.

009. auditions are now open for the town christmas extravaganza !!!

we have several musically inclined characters in 2gen— what would they have performed at their first showcase? would they have been nervous? would this have been a piece of cake? if not a performer, what was their favorite memory when it simply came to rosewood in the holidays?

010. in the trenches of snow forts, amidst a war of a snow fight! who will win?  

snowball fight !!! what has that looked like for your character? were they hidden behind the fort the entire time? were they leading the charge? did they bring out a jacquemus snow ball maker ?

EDWIN "TEDDY" LAFUENTE. rock star; twenty-one. xolo maridueña. OPEN.

and, as ted logan once said: “All we are is dust in the wind, dude.” 

BEFORE THE PARTY

Edwin LaFuente— more commonly known by the nickname given to him by his legion of fans, Teddy might not be the brightest light bulb in the tool shed. No, that wasn't leading to a but. He's not exactly academically gifted and he'd be the first to let you know, although there's a variety of other things Teddy did very well. For one, his knack to perfectly assess someone's zodiac sign, it was almost freaky how well he could take one look at someone and know exactly what their sign was. His ability to never have a bad hair day. There wasn't a day those perfectly perfect curls on his head weren't perfect. And the worst part, he didn't even try. Not to mention, he'd been a star soccer player for a spell during his tenure at the famed Rosewood Academy, in fact that's what had allowed him to attend the school. Not that he stuck to it given that his true love had been one thing and one thing only. Music. Sure, his abilities on the field had been his golden ticket but music had been what fed his soul. For as long as he could remember ( a shocker he'd retained these moment given memory wasn't a thing Teddy was known for ) Teddy had a knack for music. A talent that his mother and father had stood divided on. See, his father believed in nurturing his god given talent whilst his mother didn't want her son to end up a lowly busker, singing his shoulda, woulda, coulda's for some spare change. She wanted him to thrive, to have a better life than the one she and her husband had. So she pushed for him to excel at things that would get him further ahead, academics and athletics but Teddy rejected these things at every pass— his father taking note of this pushback and instead fed his love for music. He'd get his son the latest Weezer record as he enjoyed the whimsy of their lyrics. He took Teddy to guitar lessons, as an incentive to get his son to try to placate his mother and it'd definitely worked. But he wasn't cut out for the Troy Bolton life. So as soon as he could, he devoted his entire life to the one thing he loved. Music. His passion soon translated to success, as he'd caught the attention of his classmate and fellow music aficionado— Benny Peleke. And the rest was as they say, history. The two couldn't be more different on paper; Benny having came from an affluent background, Teddy having not. Benny actually cared about his grades, whilst Teddy only cared because he didn't want to hear it from his mama. Benny had charm and charisma in droves, Teddy still got tongue tied at the mere thought of asking someone for their number. But what did they have in common? Their love for music. With Benny's knowledge in marketing and social media combined with Ted's talent, the two knew they had something. Benny then suggested that his main squeeze, Penny Lane sing vocals on their tracks. When the three came together, it'd been lightening in a bottle. Their name, their music instantly becoming inescapable. Soon, in came the accolades, the fame and by his side, his best friend. The person who'd made all of his dreams become a reality. He'd been able to do what he loved for a boat load of money, whilst making both of his parents proud of him. All was righteous in his world. Well... that was until Penny Lane had decided she was better off a solo act.

DURING THE PARTY

What was going to become of Benny and him? Like yeah, they would probably continue as a duo, and he wouldn't complain about that because he'd get to keep rocking out with his best bud... but it wasn't like neither one of them were lyricists. All those words, that was all Penny Lane's doing. He couldn't even begin to fathom how to put together a song. As Teddy continued to think about how different things were about to be for Benny and himself, he felt his mood start to mellow and that was the last thing he needed. No, what Benny and him needed was a good ol' night out. Something to simulate the mind, maybe that'll get words flowing out of the two of them. And luckily, they were back home in Rosewood, where every night was essentially a party. So he went about picking up their pre-party essentials, in hopes of getting Benny out of the funk he'd found himself post break up. Which he totally got, his main guy had just gotten his heart broken into a gazillion little pieces— but between us, Teddy had always thought Benny was way too good for Penny Lane, so he was going to do everything in his power to lift him back up. As he'd stepped out of the local supermarket, munchies in hand– he found himself blinded by a stray piece of paper. He reached up to remove it from his face, ready to toss it in the trash ( Teddy was strictly anti-litter) but curiosity got the best of him and he decided to read what was on it. That decision being one that Teddy would always be grateful for as the piece of paper was a flyer, one that was seeking band mates. A certain, Cliff Saito was looking to put together a band and well, Benny and himself were out a band member so perhaps... they were exactly what each other needed.

BENJAMIN "BENNY" PELEKE. rock star; twenty-one. evan mock. TAKEN.

and, as bill preston once said: “Be excellent to each other!”

BEFORE THE PARTY;

What motivated Benjamin— excuse me, Benny Peleke? That being a great question, as the guy was renown for his antics. Benny, being the guy who couldn't stick to a hair color for more than a month, his buzzcut having gone from icy baby blue to it's now often duplicated, pale pink shade. Benny, who threw an impromptu concert on the rooftop of Trax— despite the strict noise code of Rosewood. Benny, who'd commemorated the release of his first album by streaking across the Ravenwood campus. If the answer to the aforementioned question was still escaping you, it was attention. He thrived on attention, and why was that? Benny was the only child of a rock icon. The man's music being synonymous with the words heavy metal, his legendary shaggy mullet having inspired many a mullets back in his heyday, his contributions to rock music having inspired artists in not just that genre but in music as a whole. So being the son of such a legend meant that he had to share his fathers attention with essentially, the world. And whilst his dad did his best to be an active part of Benny's life, he simply couldn't be there all of the time. So with no mother— she having left Benny on his fathers tour bus when he was two years old with nothing to trace back to her, a father who was often too busy... Benny had had quite a lonely childhood. Sure, he'd been well off but so many of his birthdays, graduations, music recitals had been attended by his fathers staff members rather than by the man himself. That sense of abandon developed itself into a wicked habit. He'd do anything to get a reaction from the man and that he definitely did. Whether that was getting into brawls with the pea brained ignoramuses— jocks as they are more commonly referred to, showing up to his classes reeking of marijuana, or being an all around menace, Benny had done it all to elicit some sort of reaction out of his father but with each of his tantrums– his father simply donated money to the school. In fact, there was a whole music hall named after his father at Rosewood Academy for something that's still referred to as that thing Benny did. But despite being a nuisance, Benny was actually quite intelligent. At least when it came to things he cared about, like music. He'd certainly been gifted with his father's ear, but he also had a knack for business. By the time he'd graduated high school, he was already managing several acts, including his best friend, Edwin 'Teddy' LaFuente. But the apple of his eye had always been Penny Lane. The girl had the voice of an angel with a body made for sin. The two had been inseparable, she happily providing him with the attention that no one ever had before. For that reason, when Teddy and himself had needed that thing to push their music— Penny had been the answer. And whilst Teddy had had some reservations, Benny told him to trust him and for what it was worth, he'd been right. With Penny's voice, Teddy's talent and Benny's lyricism and social media savvy, their band had become inescapable. Their songs were suddenly charting, they'd embarked on two multi-city tours, and better yet, his father had invested interest in his endeavor. He'd made him proud, his words exactly. But the good times came to a screeching halt— 'Penny Lane to go Solo' read the headline. The love of his life, the voice of their band had flown the coop.

DURING THE PARTY;

Given what'd recently transpired in his life, Benny wasn't quite in the mood for a party. He was more than prepared for a sad night in with a pint of ice cream, some more than decent weed he'd scored through Teddy's connect and the Bridget Jones trilogy— apparently a must watch when you felt like your heart had been ripped out of his butthole... at least according to google. So Benny hadn't been in attendance of that evening festivities, his spoon just about to break into his butter pecan ice cream when his front door flew ajar. In his door way stood his best bud, completely out of breath. As he caught his breath, Teddy tried to use his words but they were currently failing him so he simply shoved a piece of paper he'd been holding onto for dear life into his chest. Benny pulled it straight, it having been an ad. An ad, very much like the ones he would post at Trax back in their younger years— seeking bandmates. In fact, that's how Teddy and himself met. He ran his eyes over the content of the page; Cliff Saito was looking for bandmates. The look on Benny's face surely made it clear to Teddy that he had to be pulling his leg. But his best friend insisted that, they had to give this a shot. That perhaps, this flyer had smacked Teddy in the face for a reason. That the universe wanted this Cliff Saito in their lives. And who was Benny to argue with the universe, especially when it'd made his best friend this happy, so he let Teddy know that they would follow through with Cliff. But before that, they were going to sit through three romantic comedies starring Renée Zellweger.
