did this die?!? i am so devastated i wanted to app so badly

Hi nonnie! Sorry for my unexpected absence from the main but not entirely! I'm waiting to hear back from accepted applicants before I choose what will occur moving forward but now that I have much more free time on my hands, I would love to get the ball back rolling & even relaunch this ( perhaps with new skeletons ) in the near future!

[marlborohq]

Did acceptances happen?

Hi nonnie, sorry about the wait! I've been super busy studying for exams but you can expect for acceptances to be posted over this weekend.

[marlborohq]

Good evening tags, sorry for the delay but the submit box is now closed for review!

[marlborohq]

what timezone does the main operate in?

Hi nonnie, the main runs off EST but as the only admin running things timing may be sporadic since I’m pretty busy with final examinations this week!

[marlborohq]

Hi tags, just popping on to say that we are now less than 24 jours away from second acceptances! The submit box will close at 6pm tomorrow for overview & will re-open for rolling acceptances onward.

[marlborohq]

could you tell us more about a relationship between sun bleached fly & mourning dove? sounds like a very interesting relationship!

Hi nonnie, in short they were childhood friends! As noted on either skeleton they were two bad kids that essentially became worse when they were together. Sun Bleached Fly was majorly used by Mourning Dove until she inevitably cut her off. If you have more questions feel free to DM the main.

[marlborohq]

Will interactions be opened after the second acceptance?

Hey nonnie, yes we will be open for interactions & the first plot drop will be posted!

[marlborohq]

i've never actually sent a google docs link as an app! does tumblr allow it? i remember it blocking links on submit boxes. how do we do it?

Hi nonnie, Tumblr allows it — all you have to do is copy the sharing link for the document & post it in the submit box :)

Good afternoon tags!  First acceptances have been posted to the main and with that,  the submit box will be reopened for the second round of acceptances that will end THURSDAY,  APRIL 20th at 6pm.  Once again,  thank you to everyone who took their time to apply for our first round -- and of course,  if you were not accepted please do not be deterred!  There is still time to reapply,  apply for a secondary skeleton you had your eye on,  or even an OC of your own!

WE CAME FROM THE DIRT, WE MUST RETURN TO IT.

He thinks of childhood as a tragic thing  –  to be vulnerable to the worst of humanity,  but incapable of coping.

There’s a home shaped hole hollowed out in his chest and he lops anything within arms reach into it if it means that for just a moment JERSEY DEVIL can feel hole.  As it turns out,  being passed from hand to unlovable hand only makes him ache more for what he can’t have.  Love,  religion,  a nuclear family.  If god could not spit him out in his image so JERSEY DEVIL could be loved wholly,  then he would allow that meaness within him to fester right down to the marrow.  You have given us a man turned haunt and I could not be more excited to see what comes of his disastrous whim!

WELCOME TO MARLBORO,  JUNO.

WE CAME FROM THE DIRT, WE MUST RETURN TO IT.

You've left the dead girl no identity nor name,  neither mourned nor remembered in any way as herself.

If there are angels among us on earth,  MOURNING DOVE is one of them but not from cause of her own goodness.  As you had it, she went mad and the god that bore her left her scorched as punishment.  Religion tried to wedge her and pry out all of her unsavoriness but it only made her worse.  MOURNING DOVE’s horror is a sacrament taken bent at the knee at the edge of her sister’s bed,  the one she would make a martyr of for her own sake.  And much like this dry old town she never managed to leave for good,  something rots within her and from this blooms the promise of certain renewal.

WELCOME TO MARLBORO,  ELLE.

WE CAME FROM THE DIRT, WE MUST RETURN TO IT.

That's how it always went with you–  addictive,  devouring,  and then gone.

Caught in the neverending cycle of turning new facades,  RODEO QUEEN is nothing short of stunning.  Albeit a killer by literal and metaphorical means,  the narrative you webbed around the constant game of pretend that would inevitably rot RODEO QUEEN from the inside out. If she cannot be herself she will become something hard,  and sterling enough to blind her onlookers from all of your cracks and fractures.  She once hoped that if she were shiny enough,  RODEO QUEEN could be loved  –  but as she’s come to realize she harbored the zeal to both lure and devour,  and that is where her true power lies.

WELCOME TO MARLBORO,  RACH.

He thinks you’re just as bad as mama. He thinks you’re worse.

Through four separate acts with even the briefest of intermissions,  you spun a narrative that fully enthralling from beginning to end.  You took GRAVE DIGGER and made him both unsetting & utterly arresting!  Inheriting all the things his father would learn to hate him for,  GRAVE DIGGER is a man constantly on partial tilt from his pivot and the one constant that he’s tried to wean off of is the very thing that brought him to Marlboro.  In search of what he thinks to be the truth,  it’s only a matter of time before we discover whether this narrative can be respun before it unspools entirely and I simply cannot wait to see what lurches beneath his well-kept obsession!

WELCOME TO MARLBORO,  WORM.
