all you have is your fire. . . and the place you need to REACH. don't you ever tame your d e m o n s. . . but always keep 'em on a leash welcome to HELLTOWNOHIOHQ . rolling acceptances on monday , wednesday , & friday
a semi-appless, lower-activity, roleplay group set in the fictionalized version of HELLTOWN, OHIO. on its surface, this town may seem like it came right out of a goosebumps book — sprinkled with crybaby bridges, strange fires, and a fog that looms no matter what time of year it is. but beneath the surface . . . there is something far more sinister going on. a truth that only those who know where to LOOK can reveal.
this town has its secrets, but surely — so do YOU . . .
madz & i have put together a new group that is far more realistic for us to run. we have learned from the mistakes we made with helltown and are now open for applications over on our new, skeleton, small roleplay with eight pre-set muses !!
if you liked the mystery and horror-themes of helltown — you'll love this new group !!
after much deliberation and thought, madz and i have decided to no longer continue with helltownohiohq. we deeply apologize for dropping the ball with this group, but we had a lot of personal stuff going on in our lives the past few months and have not been able to give this group the love and attention it deserves. we were a bit naive in believing we'd be able to host a group of this magnitude with such a complicated and intense plot. due to the amount of members also messaging us about leaving the group, and a long lull in activity ( which is no ones fault !! we hold ourselves accountable for contributing to that as well. )
we feel it would be painfully hard to build the group back up to what it was with how far into the story we are and with how many new people would have to play catch up. we will be hiding more clues and pages in the main and on kayla's blog that will still allow you to put the rest of the pieces together to figure out what exactly has occurred for those of you who wanted to see the story and plot through. again, we sincerely apologize and are so grateful to have had all of you here with us.
earlier this morning . . . a fire broke out at one of the most beloved ( and deeply traumatized ) establishments this town has. ash and ember lilted on the late summer breeze, coating the entirety of HELLTOWN, OHIO in a blanket of soot and smoke . . . the wailing of fire trucks and police sirens rung in the air like church bells, which also happened to chime in the background of the chaos that broke out just off the main road.
someone had set the bowling alley ablaze.
it took hours to put the fire out . . . egregious amounts of gasoline and fuel having been dumped in and outside the building making it impossible to calm the raging inferno in a timely manner.
we advise all residents to stay clear of that area of town, for safety purposes and to keep the road clear for emergency vehicles.
JULY 28TH . . . 3:07pm.
an update to the story reported on this morning. . .
resident NIGEL MCNEIL has been arrested in connection to the fire that broke out early this morning at the bowling alley.
mr. mcneil is a longtime resident of HELLTOWN, OHIO and worked primarily in construction and demolition. mr. mcneil is also the father to born-and-raised resident, kayla mcneil, who went missing in january of this year. mr. mcneil was found less than a mile away from the scene, unconscious, with lighter fluid soaked into the fabric of his clothes. when he has recovered from the injuries he sustained from the fire, the police plan on performing a full interrogation.
JULY 28TH. . . 5:24pm.
another breaking update on the bowling alley story . . . one that is devastating and heartbreaking for all residents of HELLTOWN, OHIO. . .
after the fire was put out, and the debris was sifted through, the fire department made a grueling and unnerving discovery. . .
the bodies of the six missing residents were uncovered amongst the destruction, peculiarly untouched by the flames and protected by some kind of fire resistant blanket.

our deepest sympathies go out to the families impacted by this tragedy.
JULY 29TH. . . 6:24pm
mother of deceased resident kayla mcneil, KENNEDY MCNEIL, will be holding a fundraiser in the park to raise money for the funeral services and arrangements, as well as provide support and aid, to the families of the bowling alley victims. kennedy also plans to erect a memorial for the fallen with the funds raised, as well.
there will be games, auctions, food trucks, live music, fortune telling, and more . . . all to raise money for the victim's families. as kennedy is a nurse, the fundraiser will also be hosting a blood drive, as " it was something kayla had always asked the hospital to do. she was always wishing to give back to the community. all she ever wanted was to help others and uncover the truth."
the fundraiser will begin on JULY 30TH at 3pm and will go on all week at the park downtown. our deepest sympathies and condolences lie with the families of the deceased, and we encourage the town to show out and show these families support, love, and companionship in their time of loss.

on july 12th at six fifty six am, helltown native richard ortesky, better known as scooter, reported to the helltown police department that he had found what he thought to be a body located just off the staford road — the main road that leads in and out of town. when police arrived to the scene, it was confirmed that what he had found were indeed HUMAN REMAINS.
the body of an unknown JANE DOE.
the identification of this individual, if there was one, has not been made public information, but the following notes were released to the public:
the body appears to be belonging to that of a woman in her early to late thirties.
the skin was burnt beyond recognition, down to the bones, though it appears what remained of JANE DOE'S lips was stitched shut post mortem.
only scraps of material were left of JANE DOE'S clothing, and the materials the clothing were made of are noted to be a blend of cotton, polyester, rayon, and spandex.
besides the skin being entirely charred, there were no other injuries found and no observable damage to the skeletal system.
the cause of death is undetermined.
there were no tire tracks or footprints found at the scene, so the body was not transported by a vehicle and tracks, if any, were covered up.
the body was not burnt at the scene where it was found, it was moved post-mortem.
detectives claim there were no personal artifacts or identifiers found with the body. any findings were deemed irrelevant to the case.
harp & i hope you’re all as excited for the newest update as we are.
that being said,,, we know things haven’t been as fast-paced recently like in the beginning. summer is a laid-back time for some, however, for harp and i’s industries it's the time when things kick into high-gear. it’s for this reason that we’ve decided to place a temporary mun cap of 20 (not including ourselves).
we want to ensure that we can create fun, well-crafted tasks and events without feeling rushed, while also giving proper time and attention to the muses / muns we already have here. we aren’t sure how long this will last but will continue to update y’all as things change ( whether that be increasing the cap or taking it away ). thank you all for your continued love and support !!
