    OOC FILLER 1: Cherno does stuff with the city dawgs
    also known as "you can use these for creative reference in the future for the RP"

    Cherno, being the analytical sort who loved to make observations and gather data, found that the mishmash mix-ups and overlaps of his hometown Coy City was much too disorganized and chaotic for him. Ugh, chaos. Anarchy. No no no. So Cherno, being a loner who snuggles with Rubik's cubes, disinfectant mops, and poetry in his sleep, decided to collect information on some of the locations in Coy City and group them into his own neighbourhoods, complete with mini descriptions. As of everything, it was all his perspective and opinion -- as horribly biased as it could be, and as fiery as it could be, but his opinion nonetheless.

    He generally used the map of Coy City on his phone as a reference.


    Bellhurst Lake



    ♪ 01 | limit of the lake

    Found smack dab in the centre of Northern Coy City. A calm, serene lake
    connecting the neighbourhoods of South Bellhurst and North Beach. One can
    typically find people young and old in states of idyllic bliss along the many
    parks lining the lake. Motorboats, sailed watergliders, and even small yachts
    are commonly found throughout many different parts of the lake. Fishing is a
    favourite pastime for nearby residents.

    There is a levee system around the sides of the lake, in the case of excessive
    rain raising the water levels immensely, which is not uncommon. However, in the
    past, these levees have been breached and parts of both North Beach and South
    Bellhurst have flooded. Coy City's Industrial Light and Power Corporation has
    been kept in charge of repairing the levees.

    North Beach



    ♪ 02 | mutually exclusive series

    A posh neighbourhood in the northwest corners of Northern Coy City, it gains its
    namesake from the fabulous and immensely popular North Beach, the most popular
    beach in this part of the state. Throngs of people flock to North Beach for its
    excellent sands, perfect water conditions, and mild weather, and it is typical
    to catch upwards of five or more beach volleyball games among many sunbathers in
    summer. In winter, when the nights grow longer, the beach's boardwalk lights up
    Vegas-style, with many casinos and bars offering their services. Past the beach,
    houses from normal sizes to posh mansions dominate. North Beach is easily one of
    the richer residential areas of Coy City, and its nightlife is equally
    thrilling.

    In the past, there have been incidences involving strange disappearances by
    North Beach. These have turned into legend and campfire stories. The police are
    looking into an investigation to see if the beach is also a popular dumping
    ground for bodies from criminal organizations, but there is little progress.

    South Bellhurst



    ♪ 03 | sunset data outlier

    A busy, rushing neighbourhood filled with a large amount of restaurants, shops,
    and services. South Bellhurst is one of the fastest-growing neighbourhoods in
    Coy City, and one where you are prone to finding the largest concentration of
    diverse, worldly cuisines due to the influx of immigration. Considered one of
    the city's artistic neighbourhoods, the world of the mind and art dominate --
    here you may find studios, libraries, bookstores, hairstylists, coffeeshops,
    sushi bars, and all sorts of restaurants. A small red-light district is building
    up by the coastline, right where the North Beach boardwalk ends. There is also a
    developing LGBT community around this part of the city. Though it may not be the
    richest, South Bellhurst is by far the most cosmopolitan and diverse
    neighbourhood in Northern Coy City, and is quickly becoming an economic center
    of its own.

    Criminal activity has been on the rise near South Bellhurst's coastline, where
    the North Beach boardwalk ends. Some may attribute this to the rise of casinos
    and the burgeoning red-light district. In the past, South Bellhurst did have a
    reputation for lawlessness before a crackdown on crime fifteen years ago, but
    there are rumours that city gangs still have influence.

    Sealand



    ♪ 04 | reflection of relativity

    One of the oldest neighbourhoods in the city, and the oldest neighbourhood in
    Northern Coy City. Sealand grew out of trading posts back in the 19th century,
    and an influx of Western European immigrants gave Sealand a timeless charm.
    Inspired by the tastes of Paris and Madrid, small European-style shops and
    streets dominate the neighbourhood. Sealand has for years been one of the
    closest and well-kept communities in the city, but its growth seems immensely
    slow compared to other neighbourhoods. Sealand is known for its music scene, and
    it appears to be an outlier of religious attitude in the otherwise relatively
    secular and non-religious Coy City. In terms of population, it is one of the
    smaller neighbourhoods. It is also one of the greenest neighbourhoods.

    Symphonia University dominates the southern section of Sealand, leading across
    the strait into Southern Coy City. This, combined with Sealand's European
    architectural and cultural style, has given the neighbourhood the reputation of
    a classy yet antiquated learning town.

    Sealand's Golgotha Cemetary is the oldest cemetary in Coy City. In the past,
    there have been tales of inexplicable disappearances from this cemetary -- not
    simply of people, but of entire gravestones and graves. There have also been
    reports of seeing colourful lights and apparitions rise out of the cemetary at
    night. Though the police have often been contacted, much of it is attributed to
    superstition.

    The charming neighbourhood of Sealand has been the primary setting of 100 DAYS thus far.

    Sealand Park



    ♪ 05 | special and general

    Formerly the principal trading site in the region, it has developed into an
    elegant and beautiful park. Much of it is forest, however it is lined with
    cobbled pathways, Hamburg-style gas lamps, and large fountains. The park looks
    out onto the bay, with large cliffs that have been the subject of many artists
    in the past. The park is also host to a musical stage, where concerts are held
    -- in fact, Sealand has become famous for its park concerts. Sealand Park is the
    clearest place from where one can see the stars, with the exception of the far
    northern and southern highlands, which hold a better view. The architecture of
    the park's pristine white pavillions greatly reflects Ancient Greek ionic
    architecture and Neoclassicism.

    There have been past reports of dangerous coywolf activity past midnight. Police
    are investigating the forests of the park for the assumed deaths and
    disappearances of a few individuals by these coywolves.

    Industrial Light & Power



    ♪ 06 | bright lights and feynman's thunder

    Coy City's Industrial Light & Power Corporation is the largest corporate entity
    in the city, and has been one of the major reasons for the city's post-World War
    II growth. Founded in the city at the turn of the 20th Century as an electric
    lightning company, it has grown beyond its roots, focusing on electronics,
    telecommunications, automobiles, internet and mobile service, logging,
    landscaping, civil engineering and urban planning, minimalist furniture,
    lighting, clothing, accessories, jewellery, and various supplies. It is also the
    major energy provider of the state and neighbouring states, powering the entire
    grid for Coy City. It owns the department store chain ILP, whose flagship store
    can be found just north of the corporate headquarters, in Commerce Square.

    More and more, especially recently, Industrial Light & Power has been called in
    to help and take on city engineering projects. Coy City's opinion on the
    corporation is divided. Some consider them excellent and magnanimous nurturers
    of the city's growth. Others think of them as a shadowy corporate entity that
    pulls the strings behind the city and controls every aspect of it.

    The Industrial Light & Power building in South Coy City's downtown is one of the
    largest and tallest buildings in the city. Its Art Deco architecture and
    enormous spire is nearly unmistakeable to any resident.

    Industrial Light & Power is known for their extreme corporate secrecy. In the
    past, they have been in conflict with government authorities for refusing to
    make their corporate structure more transparent. This has given them a shadowy
    reputation outside of Coy City.

    Industrial District



    ♪ 07 | furnace of hephaestus

    Found far south in Coy City, the Industrial District seems much like another world.
    There is no real vegetation to speak of, as everything is paved over or built in
    concrete, resembling a totalitarian city square or Brutalist pavillion. The
    skies here are generally shrouded in a curtain of smog, and on cloudy days
    appear completely grey. It is host primarily to factories and refineries, and is
    littered with construction equipment, pipes, dirt, cranes, smokestacks, and
    imposing metal factory buildings. Giant gears turn in the ground and in the air,
    held by concrete pillars. It is the principal source of pollution in the
    otherwise clean Coy City, but the prevailing winds seem to blow the pollution
    south and away from the city. The structures suffer from urban decay and
    graffiti adorns the concrete and metal walls. It is very dangerous for most
    ordinary civilians, and is generally off limits without employment proof or a
    permit. Many of the industries here are owned by Industrial Light & Power,
    especially the largest factories, situated on and completely comprising the
    artificial island of Factory Row.

    There are talks of completely renovating the district and replacing it with an
    environmentally friendly habitat.

    Coy City Metro



    ♪ 08 | pyriphlegethon's algorithm

    A developing city subway-surface rail system, it is by far the fastest and most
    hassle-free way to reach almost anywhere in North and South Coy City, from North
    Beach to just north of the Industrial District. A recent development, it is
    primarily funded by the investments of Industrial Light & Power, who provide the
    rail cars, among other technologies. The subway lines are shaped a bit like
    large tubes, resembling the London Underground, and the stations are famous for
    their unique artwork which easily defines their associate neighbourhoods.

    The subway currently has two major hubs. Northern Rail Junction provides
    connections between North and South Coy City. Babylon Central connects the rest
    of Coy City, and is the central train junction of the city. It also has
    connections to the transcontinental railway, with Babylon Central being Coy
    City's oldest and largest general locomotive station. There are talks of
    expanding northward past Bitter Point Hospital, and southward past The Rails --
    the enormous trainyard just north of the Industrial District.

    A number of spelunkers have discovered abandoned train passageways and entire
    unmarked stations, completely forgotten, that ceased construction for unknown
    reasons.

    Coy City Harbour



    | poseidon's inverse f(x)

    Bordering downtown Coy City's hip and trendy Babylon District of skyscrapers and
    restaurants, the Coy City Harbour is an enormous port jointly owned by the city
    and the naval transportation branch of Industrial Light & Power. The harbour is
    also known as "Babylon Port" by some of the locals. The name "Babylon" was given
    to this part of the city in reflection on its immense, almost paradise-like
    growth and the large amount of exotic investment from the efforts of Industrial
    Light & Power, raging from the Middle Eastern oil powers to China, Japan, and
    South Korea.

    Many of the piers are made of concrete, and all sorts of ships, from large
    cruisers to small tugboats, can be found docked in the harbour. Huge cargo
    ships, carrying goods to and from Coy City, are a common sight. The streets,
    walkways, and piers are extremely busy, and festivals are held close by.
    Firework displays in the pristine night are considered one of the most beautiful
    things to see in Coy City.

    One of the docked boats, a rusting shell of a World War I-era ship named the SS
    Lady Jayne Grey, was once a popular tourist attraction as a haunted ship.
    However, a number of inexplicable deaths resulted in the closing down of the
    ship as an attraction. It currently waits silently in the harbour, inaccessible
    to any civilian, awaiting its potential fate of being made into scrap.

    Okay, today is the last of the 3rd day, so please do something with yourselves by the end of the night (you have about 6 hours and 30 minutes.) End whatever scenarios you're in, find a place to sleep for the night, figure yourselves out.

    Seriously, please. Don't just stop posting and try to make up for it tomorrow, lol. Stop doing that. You have to put yourself somewhere and finish your day. If someone is holding you up, then move on and navigate around it.

    Speaking of which, if HoT doesn't get on or post in about 40 minutes then I'm moving M on.

    Temperance, Anthony, Tyler, Cherno

    Cherno sends a text to John. He's planning some experiment.

    Brian's little sister was in the hospital.

    Cherno and Temperance have been messaging each other back and forth on Tumblr.

    John can't make good jokes.

    Madeline finds the code. I hope you guys try to crack it because otherwise...You're missing some big things.

    Abby has bullies. We knew that, but something happened with it.


    Random storm.

    Is she pregnant? The RP may never know.

    Angst.

    The high school is on lock down.

    Temperance is stranded in a pharmacy.

    oh crap, no ANTHONY BABU RUN.

    Abby & Elizabeth bond.

    Rudeness.

    Yuna decides to kill off Temperance.

    Cherno should save Temperance because she's going to drown.

    Cute.

    Temperance has a heart.

    WHAT? WHAT WHAT? WHAT? WHAT?!

    MADELINE IS DYING. LOL

    God saved John.

    ~Deepness~



    CONCLUSIONS/UPDATES?
    Bushy's last post was on the 27th. What?'s last post was on the 29th. Agent's last post was on the 28th. All are way over the 48 hour mark, but they've all talked to me. Still, if they don't post soon (day and a half), removing. It's cool to be busy and talk to me, but it eventually to a point where you're missing a lot. ...And that's bad. (Bushy has been on Tumblr and plans on posting tomorrow, so it's all good).

    I have had to say it like four times now, but please finish your day. Go to bed/end your day. I don't want to have to throw a penalty on that but I will if you guys keep ignoring it. As stated before, don't just leave your character hanging and then try to make up for it later. If you know that you're not going to be able to post later or you have a lot to do or you're getting sleepy, end your day/do something with yourselves, even if it's a sentence. PLS AND THANKS.

    Everyone saying 'my character is useless, i'm not contributing, i'm going to be killed off' yamete. *Smacks hand* WHILE THAT MAY BE TRUE...That is completely up to you. Like, completely--unless some catastrophe happens offline. If you can post, then it is completely up to you how 'useless' you make yourself out to be. If that's a legitimate concern of your's and you care if your character is 'unimportant' then do something about it. Your character's future is 85% in your hands. If you decide not to have your character do anything important or get involved, that's on you.

    Similarly, if you feel like the fates are shifting too fast and omg everyone's dying and omg these declarations and omg i'm going to die--do something about it. This is entirely collaborative. Do. Something. About. It. Get some confidence, be creative and change Crestatia's mind. If you're marked for death (*cough*hyuge*cough*) or you fall in love, do something. Change fate. Grasp your future. Nothing in this RP is set in stone. As you see, things keep changing and twisting and getting crazy and plot-twisty--why? That's what makes it interesting!

    We're all individuals! We're all thinking, breathing human beings and we can make decisions and come up with solutions. This is one of the most difficult things to project onto an original RP character. You often feel like there's nothing to do, or it's follow-the-leader, or you don't have any good ideas or you're not creative enough--you're not 'good enough'. Well, you are. If you can think, if you can make decisions, if you can feel, if you can write...If you can create a character, tumblr--hell if you can EXIST, you have a reservoir of creativity. Do not mistake laziness or lack of motivation as absence of that. You have the potential, it's up to you what you do with it.

    This RP makes me happy because you all have the potential to take control of your character's existence and really, really unleash in a way a lot of role plays on KHV specifically don't allow (or don't see need to). This RP is just as exciting and nerve-wracking and interesting to me as it could be for some of you. I don't KNOW what's going to happen at every turn and corner. I don't know who the heck Harvey is or if Temperance is pregnant or if Elizabeth is a secret psychopath or what Brian's sister is like or why she was in the hospital. Hell, I don't know when or how or if MADELINE will die yet and she's MY character. I love that, and I love all of you. So please don't get discouraged or think you're not worth anything.

    IT'S UP TO YOU, MY PRECIOUS RP BABUS, TO SPREAD YOUR WINGS AND FLY. (UNLESS YOU'RE ALREADY DEAD.)

    And if you decide not to? Then that's your choice and I still love you.
