Hi ya’ll! 

Sorry the main hasn’t been updated the last week or so. The bio graphics still haven’t been made (I’ve posted about this in the OOC a few times now. I’m having a rough go at it lately) and I just wanted to make a post to formally apologise for that. 

The bad news is: I’m flying out to the U.S. tomorrow to be with Jenn, and as I don’t have photoshop on my laptop, I won’t be able to get those done within the next two weeks. The good news is: I’m flying out to the U.S. tomorrow to be with Jenn! I’ll be on the same timezone as everybody else! Yay!

Also being together in the same room will make it easier for us to plot and post things. We know the dash has been a little slow, but we’re actually really okay with that. We’re a tight-knit group, and we all really love you-- I know a couple of us have been having a really hard time lately, and we want you to know that your health comes above writing ALWAYS, and we understand, and we’re here for you, and we’ll be here when you get back if/whenever you need to take some time out. Feel free to send Jenn or I a message on Sam/Logan or the main, and we’ll be here for you, okay?

Again: we’re super happy with everything that’s been done and written so far. From what we know, the plots people have together are going to be really fucking awesome when executed (I love using that word) (it fits so well in this group). All of the characters are fleshed out and amazing and it’s gonna be hard to let go when people start dropping off and dying. We’ll probably be on day one (the safe day) for another week or so, it just depends how everything comes along. If you have any concerns, send us a message! Anon or off anon. You can always come to us. 

Thank you for reading this extremely long message. We hope you’re all enjoying the Ripple RP experience :* Love Amanda (and Jenn) (she hasn’t approved this message but) (whatever. She loves you all we talk about ya’ll all the time) (bye!!!!!)

a note:

one of our applicants just got a really rude and frankly unacceptable ask about their level of interest in this group and how it may affect our acceptance process. 

the two of us are extremely committed to this group, and we know a lot of you out there are enthusiastic about it, too -- and that’s great, and we're thrilled to see that. we do not anticipate the acceptance decisions to be easy because of that very enthusiasm, and because of the quality of all of your applications so far. 

if, when acceptances happen, you have a problem with the outcome, we expect you to come to us about it. we’ll gladly answer for our choices. and to the person who sent that ask: if you haven’t already applied, don’t bother. we aren’t going to tolerate that kind of behavior, and neither should anyone else here.

December in Phoenix looks like this: 55°F, barely-heated houses but for the stone fireplaces, the stucco, built into the wall. The holiday market every Sunday, half-tourist and half-genuine, where you buy Christmas tree ornaments for your grandparents shaped like lizards, or javelinas, or cactus wrens. The only snow here comes in a globe. Shake it and let it fall. 

December in Phoenix looks like shorts, maybe, but only for the bold -- more like long sleeves you peel off when your forehead starts to shine. They say this is the darkest day of the year, when the equinox comes around, but you live in the sunniest city in America, and those extra minutes make a difference for the days that make the New Years’ countdown feel like another tick to doomsday. It’s the one guy who’s been Santa at the Paradise Valley mall since before you were born (hi, Frank) -- and the one who’s always Santa at the Metrocenter, and the one who’s always Santa on the gum-blotted sidewalk corner down by Southern Avenue. 

If you’ve left recently, it’s a vacation, so start unpacking or stare at the boxes.  If you’ve stuck around, it’s some time off work, and the comfort or dread of streets that know your shoe-soles. 

This December, Phoenix is a glass urn you've never actually touched before -- canyon shadows on sand, a thin scar on your palm from a promise from another lifetime. The Mountains are calling, and you must go. Even the worst reunions are still stories to tell.

We are now open for interactions, starting with Day 1 of the trip! All 10 of us are getting together to meet up & camp out on the biggest mountain, where the range gets its name. This means carpooling, organizing, greetings both awkward and relieved. This is inevitably the most low-key day, and the one that can kick off however you feel most comfortable -- self-paras or starters, the trip to Arizona or the trip to the mountain or the first hellos once you’ve already gotten there.

Have fun with it. 

We’re all safe (for now) (for today), though the killer is now among us ;)

The masterlist has been updated!

I tried to find the best photos that fit with each character. If you don’t like it, or have another image in mind, please send a link to the main and I’ll fix it up! Thanks, guys! The same goes for the bio graphics. I want to be as accommodating as possible!

character statistics:

Hey guys! To complete the bio graphics and get them posted, we need you all to fill out these statistics and send them to us! Over messenger is fine. 

The way it works is a points system. This will change over the course of the game (we’ll be updating them when a ‘ripple effect’ occurs! Depending on the choices your characters make in game!) Like Until Dawn, the character traits are all the same. We’re asking you to ‘rate’ these traits for your character out of a total of 30 points. Here is an example:

HONEST 3 CHARITABLE 7 FUNNY 5 BRAVE 5 ROMANTIC 6 CURIOUS 4

= 30 points

This will then be reflected in your character’s lower bio graphic. Here is an example of Logan’s. Sam’s can be found in his bio here. As soon as we receive this, I’ll make up your character’s last graphic and the bio will be posted! Please send us these stats as soon as possible! 

Under the cut is the template:

HONEST CHARITABLE FUNNY BRAVE ROMANTIC CURIOUS

= 30 points
