This is a semi-selective roleplay blog for Josh Washington from Supermassive Games' Until Dawn. Please note there will be frequent and heavy mentions / descriptions of triggering topics. These topics include depression, drug & alcohol abuse, suicidal tendencies, gore, psychosis / schizophrenia, neglect, and self-destruction.

QUICK INFO: I'm 28 years old and I work full-time. There is low activity across all of my blogs — I tend to get interested in spurts, so once in a while you may notice I practically live on Tumblr, whereas most of the time I pop in once every other week or so. Sometimes I reply to things on my phone. Block the #altmobile tag if you don't want to see unformatted replies.

My ask box & IMs are always open! Ask memes and starter calls are open to everyone, even non-mutuals, unless specifically stated otherwise.

“Of course, its the only requirement, because good writers go elsewhere,” he said. Not that all journalists were bad. But when it came to a certain type there was no compassion, no care, no decency. “Well I always look good, but if I go out I rather be seen looking my best, be in some kind of control over my image if that makes sense.” If he couldn’t post the image himself, he could at least take steps to make sure that his image was still curated. He definitely had a more public persona, not that it was entirely different from what his friends saw, but it was definitely carefully made.

He gave a nod, that was probably for the best. “Can’t imagine what they would try to cook up if they were here,’ he told him and tilted his head, “Are they around often, even without your dad?”

     The very idea curls Josh's lips into a scornful grin. The media would have a field day if they saw this. He won't — can't — say it out loud, but his initial intrusive thought is that being seen together would drag Phillipe's name through the mud somehow; "Beloved Young Designer Hangs Out With Sad Dropout Loser." Don't bring the conversation down again. It's not always about you. You're supposed to be HELPING.      "Imagine the headlines. 'Hot de Bourbon Bachelor Gets Alone Time With Washingon Heartthrob,'" he says with a billboard-flourish of one hand. "I like the sound of that, actually. Lemme know if you wanna use it for some extra fame and fortune."      At the mention of his father, without realizing it a certain loneliness snuffs the light in his eyes just as quickly as it appeared. The ice clinks in his glass as he swirls it around. "They were at first," Josh replies. No elaboration needed on at first. "Couldn't go a week without someone waiting outside the fence. I think they got bored after Mom and Dad released their 'we don't wanna talk about it' statement. Once in a blue moon someone will come by hoping for an update. Most of the time it's quiet."

Jess - lower jaw torn off. Beauty & putting on an act ( like a mask? ) is how she hides her insecurities.

Emily - shot in the head. Always has to be the smart, witty one.

Ashley - decapitated, dragged into a cellar/cave by the wendigo. She is afraid, panicking, can't wrap her mind around the current events, & thinks that she is about to save an equally-frightened Jessica.

Matt - falls off cliff. He wants to protect Emily from the deer, symbolic to how he wants to "protect" their relationship. He sacrifices a lot to make Emily happy.

Chris - decapitated in both possible deaths. He's the logical one. Similar to Emily, he relies on his intellect to get him through things, but his whole world has been flipped upside down during the night.

Mike - incinerated. Class President, most eligible bachelor, pretty much relies on his looks, and gets burnt to a crisp. Is also the Action Hero, and cool guys don't look at explosions. I think this kind of symbolizes how he gives up selfishness and sacrifices for the good of others.

and last. my boy.

Josh - head squished. Obviously symbolic of him "losing his mind" throughout the game. Or being forgotten not only by his friends, but his sister as well. alternatively; turned into a wendigo by Hannah. He finally reunites with his sisters in the mines, even if it means destroying himself in the process.
