Hostages and Hot Sauce: Discussion

[Vìncê]

Alright, here is the basic story:

Selena Clarke is a 26 year old celebrity. She is a fantastic actress and has been for about 7 years now. At this point in time she has invited multiple people over to her apartment for a party this evening. She has chips, a good movie, some sweet awesome games, great music, heck, she's even got an old, retro disco ball. However, there is one thing she is lacking and she just realized it. She has no dip, no spice for da chips, no hot sauce for the fritos... so, she decides to go down to the nearby gas-station on the block and pick some up.

Now, the second character is introduced: Sean Revolo. Sean is dating a lovely girl named Whitney Poultry, yeah sure it's a rough last name... she got plenty of the chicken nicknames whilst growing up but she has been made better and stronger because of it. Now, Whitney was going over to Sean's place for a movie and some talkin', just some chillin'... however the story gives a nice twist when a ring comes from their doorbell and Sean opens it up to a shotgun in his face. Some Russian dude is holding the gun and he asks in his wretched, maniacally pleasant manner if he can come in. Of course Sean does not say no and so the Russian guy walks in and begins to explain what will be the main conflict of the story. This dude, and yes we still do not know the Russian guy's name, explains to Sean that he has to go down to the gas-station and basically capture this celebrity Selena Clarke. (How he knows she's going to be there beats me now, but we'll probably add that factor in later with the Russian's connections to someone planning to go to the party or something, I dunno... time will tell) So the Russian guy demands that Sean does this or "poultry girl" as the Russian guy referred to her as, gets the contents of the shotgun in her noggin.

Sean objects, why would this celebrity just drop everything and go with him? The Russian guy pulls out a 9mm pistol and gives it to Sean, he then tells him that if he even thinks about shooting him (the Russian guy) that he has explosives on his person and they'd go off if his pulse stopped and then Sean, Whitney, and the Russian dude would all be dead.

So, this is where our story starts...

Okay...finally deciding to post now. I'll be playing the part of Selena.

Selena is a slender 5 feet 4 inches, though she appears taller due to her love for high heels. "They complete every outfit," she smiles while swiping her credit card and carrying away two new pairs from XTC...a weakness she indulges in "only on her bad days." Her wavy deep brunette hair stays swept up in a ponytail during her off-time but seems to only accentuate her beautiful features. Though her skin is fairer than what would be deemed fashionable, she prides herself in her creamy flawless skin and wears sunscreen everyday to prevent any damage. Elegant and mysterious grey eyes lie placidly beneath thin dark well-manicured brows. Her medium-sized nose is left unnoticed as plump lips draw attention whenever they form into a pleasant smile. She almost always keeps her lips closed when she smiles now, her teeth being less-than perfect. She had knocked two of her top left teeth loose when she was in the 7th grade while showing off her gymnastic skills to some friends (so she says). Needless to say they were still rather crooked. Though she had never really minded before, these past years of stardom had changed her in many ways. Inside, she knew the bold Selena still lived on, but as long as cameras plagued her with every new release, she seemed to carry a private, reserved air about her more and more.

It has been almost 8 years since she moved away from her parent's home in a suburb of New Haven, Connecticut after her 18th birthday. She'd been offered a few modeling jobs after some of her friends had talked her into signing up with an agency downtown; and though she never really enjoyed it, when the agency let her know about some opportunities near Hollywood, California, she was on the first flight she could book. Acting had been her real dream all growing up, and she hoped she could ditch the modeling stunt soon after landing some decent movie roles. Despite nervousness at leaving her home town, her adventurous spirit simply couldn't wait to make it to the big screen.

As the story begins, Selena has recently been craving some time to be a little more informal and lighten up with her fellow compadres of the film industry, so she is hosting a Cinco de Mayo party for some of her friends and co-stars. Nothing too fancy...but she still feels the need to make a good impression on her guests.

No bad language in a story about threatening violence, kidnapping and shotguns to the head?

It that not a bit contradictory?

[Vìncê]

Well, honestly, neither Aura nor I curse or really appreciate foul language. Also, I feel that one can get much more creative in their word choice than simply cussing... but that's a personal viewpoint.

However, since we'd rather keep the language clean, would it be too much to ask to request no profanity?

[The Mammoth]

I suppose, but I always felt well-placed profanity could be useful to empowering the force behind something. I just found it comical that threats of murder were fine, but swear words were not.

You're fully entitled to say that is what you want, I was just commenting.

[Vìncê]

I definitely can see your point of view. Honestly, and this is a personal view of mine, I think that the art of swearing properly has been all but lost in today's culture. But that's simply what I think.

I appreciate your understanding though. Would you want to join the RP?

[The Mammoth]

Thinking about it. I don't like to join stuff that I feel I may lose interest in and leave the members of it stranded.

Plus, classes are starting back up, and taking 18 credit hours this quarter, working on top of it, will crush me....

[triggerhappyjuliet]

LOL!!! I agree with Mammoth XD
I would join, I love role playing but in my experiance this site has a bat habit of people randomly dropping the role play.
Also, I has a potty mouth.

And school has me tied. >_<

[The Mammoth]

I also tend to enjoy well-placed profanity, so that I'd struggle with. But school/work is the first thing in my way.

[Vìncê]

Aura and I also have school starting up soon... so... it might not be a crazy active thread, but we could still give it a try if you wished...
