admin bubbles coming in with a late reply! i would love to see either sooyoung or hyelin, though I have so much love for all the girls listed!
beyond the sandy shores there’s a storm brewing, and SEO YEONGHYE ‘DARLENE’ (she/her), a twenty-three year old FLORIST has walked right into it. perhaps they aren’t aware of it now, but the KIM YERIM ‘YERI’ ( red velvet ) look-alike is in for quite the memorable experience. will our beloved TOWNIE be able to enjoy their stay?
be careful where you step SEO YONGHYE ‘DARLENE’, for ALIENS seem to be a little less welcomed here. and remember, here at ilsang, things aren’t always what they seem.
"this has been, where in the world is darlene? if you're not already yet subscribed, hit that button and the bell notification so that you'll be alerted when i post my next video! thanks for watching and as always, xoxo!"
darlene counts five whole seconds before she unfreezes from her pose to lean forward and clicks on the camera to stop recording. it had already been a few months and her following on youtube had grown exponentially. at least, quite larger than she could have ever expected.
but it paid to be pretty, cute, and pretty. pretty twice, for extra measure on just how important that was in the vlogging industry when it came to catching people's attention.
darlene was cute and she knew how to look even cuter with the help of makeup, fashion, and hair styling. it was all a girl really needed to get by with after all. especially in a small town like ilsangdo. and especially for someone like darlene who wouldn't be able to leave town no matter the circumstances.
she sits at the new vanity in her room, tapping the mirror to turn on the bright lights before she pulls out the newest peripera lipgloss and retouches her lips. once she's satisfied, she takes a good look in the mirror and flashes her pearly whites before grabbing her little white purse and heading out.
seo yeonghye had always been a quiet girl. a little shy on the outside and in. one who kept more to books when it came to reading and had no confidence in herself - personality and appearance wise. darlene on the otherhand, was everything but. she loved the glitz and glamor she saw in dramas. she loved the colorful clothes advertised in tv commercials. and most important of all, as soon as she realized that yeonghye was kind of cute she had to take advantage of everything she could!
as someone with ambitious dreams of becoming a world-renowned writer, yeonghye had been to scared to trade the comforting life she knew for the scary big city of seoul. instead, settling for small community classes at daeseong university until she graduated with a mediocre writing degree. and even then, the timid yeonghye never did go far with what she truly wished to acheive. creative writing was where she wanted to go but with a push from her mother, she took her first dip into the working world with an intern position at the ilsang ilbo. however, that quickly fell through when yeonghye realized she would never be able to do what she wanted there. never be able to flourish and write what she wanted to if she ever wanted to do more.
with no hope, yeonghye thinks it's the end of the line. and it kind of is when she accidentally wanders a bit too close to the town bunker trying to find a place to read the newest novel she'd just ordered from online. because that's when everything changes.
whenever anyone gets surprised seeing how different yeonghye is now, darlene simply reasons it to 'growing into herself' or 'discovering her confidence'. darlene can't feel, but she supposes if she were yeonghye she'd be happy. after all, ever since darlene had taken over her body, her life had been ten times better. darlene wonders if this is what yeonghye might have secretly wanted considering how easy it was for darlene to take full control of her body.
either way, darlene was now living her best life and there were moments when things got tricky to navigate, but she always made it work. somehow. for now, her biggest issue was making sure to establish her dominance as the best girl in town. and sure, maybe it took calling herself the town's representative sunflower for people to begin acknowledging this title. but it was catching on and in all honesty, if it meant that she was better than lucy who had snatched the mayor's daughter up before darlene could, well, it would be considered a win her books.
that is correct! regarding our latest admin post, we wanted to clarify that activity check would be placed on hold for the current week considering that our community has shrunk in size since we've opened. our current members have personally expressed their interests and wishes to keep the roleplay open despite the small size though aligning with our staff's intentions.
we as the staff team would like to see what we can do to keep the roleplay running even if the size of our community remains small so that we can create a space our current members can still feel encouraged to write without the overwhelming pressure or expectations of what a bigger or typical roleplay might require. we're completely open to our member's suggestions and are looking to see what we can do before we continue with any further events!
so for anyone curious or still lurking, yes we are still active! we are still taking reserves and applications! and we would love to see you and your muse if you’re interested in joining!
if you have any other questions or would like any further clarification please feel free to send in another ask!
all reserves expire at 11:59 pm on the dates listed! an asterisk (*) denotes an extended reserve, with two asterisks denoting a double-extended reserve.
APPLICATIONS RECEIVED
kim yerim ( yeri ), red velvet as seo yeonghye “darlene” ( accepted )
connection type: older brother
suggested age bracket: ‘96 and older
suggested face claims: jeon wonwoo (seventeen), kim seokjin 'jin’ (bts), utp
contact before applying: it is not required that you contact me before replying, but you’re welcome to do so if you had any clarification questions or wanted to brainstorm up some ideas!
connection details:
hyemi and her brother used to be quite close growing up, but as they got older and it became clear how their parents favored the younger, a distance began to form between the two siblings. at first, she did really miss him (she was a clingy younger sister), but the fear of disappointing her parents and becoming a failure in their eyes overpowered those feelings. when he left, it was too much for her to ignore and she blamed herself. so she found herself coming to ilsang in search of him after finding a brochure in his room.
now that hyemi has been taken over, he’d technically be a complete stranger to “hailey”. i’m hoping to see what kind of emotions can form through their reunion in ilsang and if maybe they can mend their relationship with some assistance from our peculiar alien personality— potentially even getting her body back, maybe?
all reserves expire at 11:59 pm on the dates listed! an asterisk (*) denotes an extended reserve, with two asterisks denoting a double-extended reserve.
we’re hopping on here to announce that this week there will be no activity check, as we would like to open up a discussion about the continuation of our roleplay. after a few weeks of remaining open, our admod team has realized that the roleplay had not gained the traction we were expecting to, which is why there is/was such a delay on our initial founder’s day event. as to point out the elephant in the room, yes, part two of our event had not happened due to an underwhelming response to the opening of our roleplay. the event was intended to have a choose your own path part, which was meant for a group of more than 10 members. however, as fall semester hit for many of our members, it became clear that part two was just something that would be a bit overwhelming for the group in general.
our admod team has worked hard on this roleplay, and we appreciate everyone who has joined us in our journey thus far. we have so much planned for the overall plot of this group, but we are also realizing that the lack of activity, both for current and potential newcomers, may be something that is out of our control. since we’ve spent a lot of time dedicate to world building and plot development, we would hate to see ilsang and the potential of its current muses go to waste, which is why we are opening up the floor for feedback from our community.
ilsang is intended to be a roleplay geared towards the plot development of the community itself, which is why we would like to hear about what would intrigue future and current members to continue to write with us. for now, we are pausing activity checks and allowing our members to freely write their muses as we discuss what the future of ilsang may look like. as we’ve stated, our admod team does have a lot of plans for the future ( memes, a halloween event, overall plot development ), but we would not want to continue the roleplay without our lovely community. hence, if anyone would like to leave their personal feedback, please comment or message the admod team. thanks for sticking around with us and being patient as we trudge through the busiest time of the year!
activity checks occur every sunday at 10pm gmt-5. anyone who has failed to meet the activity requirements listed in the guidelines will be cleared for inactivity. if you feel you have been cleared incorrectly please reach out to use within 24 hours! otherwise, please fee free to join us again and re-apply when you have the time.
if a human host dies, does the alien also die or do they just leave the host for a new one?
aliens essentially just act as a parasite of their host bodies, but is an entity of its own. therefore, if the human host dies, the alien will not. as you guessed, in this situation the alien would just have to leave the body and find a new one.
we apologize for the late response on this question! i've gone ahead and listed a few ideas below. hopefully you see this, and for anyone lurking, hopefully these catch your interest as we'd love to see more alien muses around!
an alien who's very interested in very mundane or random things and their functionalities. maybe they always go around asking about normal everyday things that could almost be seen as out of the ordinary, but on the surface just seems like someone wanting to get to know the nitty-gritty details of something (ex. asking about farm tillers, or ice cream machines, or strobe lights, etc.)
an alien who's very conscious about getting caught so they act very introverted but they actually wish they could be doing a lot of things with people.
an alien who tries to act very friendly because they want to be popular and always try to organize group activities in town.
an alien who's very bad at mimicking human emotions so they're kind of off-putting to all the actual humans in town.
in turn, an alien who's kind of mastered the mimicry of human emotions so they kind of hold secret lessons for other aliens under the guise of a weekly book club meeting.
an alien on the brink of losing the job their human host had originally because they just can't figure out how to do the job correctly, jeopardizing their entire lifestyle if they were to lose the job.
we hope that these give you some ideas or spark muse off of them! if nothing here suits you, feel free to check out our other answered asks about wanted muse types to see if those give you any other ideas or send in another ask!
hi! i'm soooo interested in this plot, i just have a few questions about the alien aspect: since the aliens take control of the brain, does that mean they have access to their host's memories or knowledge of who their host was/is? and is the host's og brain conscious of the alien taking over their body?
hello anonnie!
we're so so happy to hear that you're interested in the roleplay's plot!
as for your questions, we'll break down our answers into three sections! we apologize for the wait on this! thank you for your interest and patience!
- moderator buttercup
do aliens have access to their host's memories?
the response to this question would be a rather simple, no! once an alien takes over a hosts body from the very beginning as they're establishing their control over the human's mind to once they have full control, the alien won't be able to access the human's memory. in the same way, the human wouldn't be able to access the alien's mind or memory as the two are completely separate entities that just exist in the same body. with that, as the alien begins to gain more control, the brain will then start recognizing the alien's memories more than it does the human's and any memories retained during the alien's control will remain as the alien's.
say if an alien were to leave their hosts body, the human would have no recollection of anything that happened in-between the time that the alien had full control over their body up to the moment that they leave. the human would only be able to remember memories of before the alien abducted their body.
do aliens have knowledge of who their host was/is?
aliens also would not know anything about their host! this goes along with the lore that anyone who gets taken over an alien might suddenly become like an entirely new person. this is because the alien doesn't know how the human was before. due to the fact that they can't access the human's memories either, typically they have to slowly learn through their interactions with others or their physical surroundings to get clues as to the kind of life the human they took over used to live. even then, aliens are not restricted to attempting to live out the same life or personality the person may have had. however, they would do their best to keep things normal so that people don't find them too strange for their sudden change in demeanor.
is the host's original brain conscious of the alien taking over their body?
the answer to this question is yes! the process of an alien taking over a human's body doesn't always take immediate effect. this means that at times, a human may be conscious of what they're doing, but they wouldn't have exact control of what they're doing but they would be aware that something is happening to them slowly and gradually. and so, that means they would be able to tell that something is off and feel weird overall. depending on the alien residing within their body, the human may even see them at times if the alien chooses to show themself in anyway (reference this ask) which could lead to the human being aware that something is in fact inside them.
basically, it mainly depends on the host and if you choose to make them connect the dots or to leave your muse in the dark with not understanding or truly aware of what’s happening to them. with this, there isn’t any known information on the aliens to the humans, so even if a muse has suspicions or saw something of the alien in their body, chances of anyone believing them saying that they have an alien inside them is zero.
until an alien takes full control of their hosts body, both the alien and human will coexist in the brain, however only one will be able to have control at a time. this is why the human isn’t fully aware of what the alien does, likewise, the alien wouldn’t be aware of what the human does when they are conscious and have control of the brain. therefore, memory loss can be a sign of an alien invading a human’s body, but considering that memory loss in general can be caused by many different things people wouldn’t necessarily see this as a strange phenomenon but something they’d just direct people to get checked out at the doctor.
we hope that this helps answer your question and details! if you have any other questions please feel free to send in another ask!
this isn’t a question but seeing you guys use girls day makes me miss them ty for giving them some love like this 💕
thank you! we felt the same, which is exactly why we were so excited to get to use them as our mascots. we would love even more to see them on our dashboard!
hi! im still trying to get a grasp of how to write an alien so i was wondering do the aliens have access to their host’s memories or do they just go in not knowing anything about their host and carrying on?
hello dear anonnie!
we received an ask containing this question just recently that we are currently still putting a full and complete answer to! if this is the same anon, we’d like to apologize on the wait! we do see your message, our staff has been a bit busy and it’s just taking us an extra bit of time to make sure that we’re explaining everything in the best and most comprehensible way to make the process for writing your muse as easy as possible!
we will be posting the answer to this question with the other ask we had received either today or by tomorrow so please bare with us and keep an eye out for that!
if you have any other questions in the meantime, do feel free to send them in!
is it possible to combine two pre-plots? or is there a cap on pre-plots?
hi anon!
admin bubbles has confirmed that this is definitely okay to do!
the only thing we'd like you to keep in mind is that some pre-plot muses are particular in if they are a human versus an alien, which have been marked to indicate those details. at the top of the page, there's a small description clarifying what roles would be identified as human or alien.
aside from that, definitely feel free to reserve two pre-plots together if you'd like! if you have any questions about any pre-plots going together specifically, feel free to message main off of anon so that we can clarify any questions or concerns you might have!
