dreams of moth house

dreams of moth house ⸺ a stephen king's it, stranger things and dark inspired intimate and selective horror mystery rp. game-mastered by gracie.

moorside, virginia. 2014. three weeks after ethel byron — president and one of three members of the niche paranormal society of shelley hall high school — vanishes without a trace, a disturbing pattern emerges among her classmates. one by one, eight unrelated students are infected by an identical nightmare: following a ghostly white moth through the local woods to a decaying, old house that seems to watch over them with malice. their belief of being uniquely cursed changes when a meticulously hand-drawn poster of the very same "moth house" appears on the school bulletin board, accompanied by an invitation. driven by desperation and curiosity, all eight converge at the designated spot — sweetheart's bench, a well-known make out spot in woods behind shelley hall — on the appointed thursday night. their mutual shock is immediate; they are a fractured cross-section of the school's social hierarchy. the shared nightmare was not a coincidence, but the first move in a game they've been drafted into against their will: the investigation into ethel's disappearance — and the nature of the house that haunts them.

there is no application process. message me on @hotgums if interested in joining.

open characters: the music geek, the class clown ;

reserved (1/13): the rebel ;

taken characters (10/13): the freak, the troublemaker, the geek, the theater kid, the queen bee, the nerd, the preacher's daughter, the cool kid, the school paper kid, the jock ;

by 6:45 pm on thursday, october 13th, the last of the daylight had bled out over moorside, leaving a state of deep, damp gray ornamented only by fog — the town's true owner. behind shelley hall high school, in the forgotten space where school grounds gave way to the woods, conveniently hidden from view, sat sweetheart's bench — an old wood picnic table scarred by generations of pocketknife carvings of initials and hearts. mini lovelace and sonia zając, the now sole members shelley hall supernatural society, occupied the bench. they sat rigid, with little space between them and hands tucked under their thighs to hide from the cold. they didn't speak, just watched the dark spaces between the trees in anticipation. three weeks. that's how long their third member and best friend, their president, ethel byron had been gone. the official posters said MISSING. the unofficial silence said worse. one by one, the dreamers showed up alone, driven by their private, shameful fear. no greetings were exchanged. no nods of recognition. they simply arrived, and then they stopped, standing apart in a loose, awkward circle.

we currently have 6 poc fcs and 6 white fcs (the faceclaims page isn't up to date yet). you're very welcome to apply and grow the cast's diversity. oh, almost forgot! as of age: all skeletons in the rp are high school students, so all within the same age group. only npcs will be older.

first of all: everything leads me to believe that we'll be able to start the rp in the next couple of days (maybe tomorrow, actually). i'm working on a lot of fun things for us to do and very very excited about this. i'm also working on a renovation of the blog's desktop theme, so please excuse the mess.

secondly: we only have 2 skeletons open right now?! the rebel and the music geek. so if anyone would like to apply for a second character, please reach out and maybe we'll be able to start the story with all 13 skeletons!
