OOC FILLER 2: Cherno does more stuff with the city dawgs​

also known as "you can use these for creative reference in the future for the RP"​

​

​

Since Cherno has nothing to do while he waits for his Cowboy Bebop episodes to load (which he recommends all of you watch if for some reason you have been unable to look at a single episode in the 11 years it has been running in the west you crazy people) he has decided to fool around more with personal exposition opinions.

DISCLAIMER: These are What?'s personal headcanons and really have no bearing on the story I suppose. Unless people wish to treat them as canon. Then okay. You can samba your way into the things.

Spoiler: Brookridge Exposition and Conceptual Background

Credit to our good friend FuzzyBlueLights for the creation of the concept of Brookridge as a whole, though Jayn was the first one who postulated the idea of a second town (clearly with sinister intentions as we have seen here in the second arc) even if it was a ghetto joke. Vulgar Village, I am looking at you. *adds to map*

​

A view of Brookridge from the higher hills and mountains on the edge of the city. This is the type of proposed landscape around the Academy.

As we enter the second arc of 100 DAYS, welcome to the small town of Brookridge, everyone!

Brookridge appears to be a bit more different from Coy City. Namely, it is much more suburban and ... empty? I suppose. It is definitely up to the RPers how they may interpret Brookridge, and since it is relatively emptier, being a suburban city, this also gives it more potential for it to be filled with some unique lovely things. Of course, only time through the RP and the little plans will tell of the true nature of all of these settings.

Brookridge contains a different atmosphere from its neighbouring Coy City. It is much more tranquil and suburban, less busy, one may even call it a tad elegant. In contrast with Coy City, which is definitely an urban metropolis, Brookridge is a city of nature, and you are never too far from groves of trees and small houses. Brookridge provides an atmosphere of relaxation in contrast with the hectic and worried pace of Coy City life. And personally, I feel that it fits -- the first Arc, which took place in Coy City, was wrought with a hectic and worrying pace by its characters as they tried to cope with life under Crestatia and the e-mail. Unless that little opening was lying to us (I certainly hope not), the change of setting to something more peaceful and tranquil may reflect the mood of the RP as a whole. Where Coy City's First Arc was one of Despair, Brookridge's Second Arc may be one of hope. That being said, it is easy to return to Coy City, or go to Brookridge, what with all of the transportation shenanigans that justify plot convenience. Thank you playing god with Google Maps.

Unless of course, this is all a ploy. Or us RPers ruin things somehow by making things even more despair-filled, since this story is very character-driven.

Unlike Coy City, which is deftly based on the city of Seattle as a whole, Brookridge is a bit more loosely put together. It is made up of a bunch of communities, incorporated and unincorporated, such as Lynnwood and Woodinville, that lie just east of Seattle, acting as suburbs in its metropolitan area. Taking a look at some of those locations will get you a good idea of what Brookridge's atmosphere is like -- and really, it shares this with much of the northern part of Washington state.

Also unlike Coy City, where its landmarks were centered on real-life locations (Bellhurst High being an actual Seattle high school, Galaxy Spire being the Space Needle, the Commerce Centre being the Nordstrom flagship store, the ILP Building being the Smith Tower), Brookridge's headcanon layout has little of that forethought. There is no real Finisterre Avenue, or Bulwark, or Brookridge Academy of Excellency (which is about the size of Stanford, for reference).

So what were the inspirations for some of Brookridge's locations and headcanon layout? There were two major ones:

The first one is a lesson in modern architecture brought to you by crazy-about-architecture What?. It was American architect Frank Lloyd Wright's concept of Usonia, and his proposed idea of Broadacre City. Wright's philosophy on cities and architecture were that they were rather ugly all clustered together like that. He was someone who preferred architecture in interaction with nature, and Broadacre City was one way he interpreted such a philosophy. To put it simply, it is the advanced suburb -- much of the city is parkland/forest/garden where people have their own properties, farmland, et cetera, and it is broken up by clusters of buildings or set landmarks marking points of the city. If you will look at the map, Brookridge fits this concept to a T -- much of the "city", really an advanced suburb, is rather empty save for islands of development and places of interest, usually around the green points which mark monorail stations. Usonia was simply an architectural philosophy used to reflect the unique qualities of New World American lifestyle, and this is most evident in some of his buildings. Throughout the map of Brookridge, there are many, many references to Frank Lloyd Wright and his buildings.

And if you have never heard of the good lad, take a moment to be awed at these structures he developed in the 1930s and onward. Rather modern for something pre-war, no?

This ties into Brookridge's second influence -- Seattle itself! Well, another part of it, the part that people who have not seen the insides of Seattle as a proper city think of Seattle. That is, natural and environmentally friendly streets and settings, progressive and liberal politics, educated young people, suburbs and low buildings, mountains, trees, less-than-pleasant weather. Stereotyped Seattle. This even has influences in its people. Seattle, like San Francisco, is thought to be a centre of counterculture, and Brookridge is where all the hipsters, revolutionary students, activists, and subculture/counterculture brothers and sisters hang out drinking coffee. Brookridge marks the presence of the Ishmael Coffee chain of coffee stores, serving as a symbol of this reflection. The idea of this kind of Seattle ties in well with Wright's philosophy of a city interacting with nature -- although the real Seattle was not the case, of course.

If anyone has been clicking on Cherno's music selections in his posts recently, you may notice the prevalence of Caravan Palace. I used their whimsical, almost lackadaisical and dreamlike music to represent a few things: how Brookridge seems to be a paradise compared to Coy City's hustle and bustle, how Brookridge gives off an atmosphere of positivity and hope in contrast to Coy City's melancholy, and how Brookridge seems to have a relevancy to the pasts of a few characters from what I have seen so far. Swing music is definitely equivalent to thinking about the pasts, no?

Putting it simply, Coy City serves as the "real Seattle", and Brookridge serves as the "Seattle when one thinks of Seattle", or the "dream Seattle".

A city of despairing reality and danger lies right next to a tranquil, nigh-paradise of hopeful dreams.

What does this mean for the RP? Let us hope it is a good thing.

It is hoped that everyone can enjoy their stay in Brookridge in the second arc. Let us all wait together and see what Crestatia has in store for us. Also, please do not be afraid to send images and location ideas to Jayn or myself for adding to the map.

(I must be insane to go on about this crazy location exposition like this)

Age: Seventeen
Likes: His job (he's a bouncer). Fighting. Getting girls (although he doesn't look like he shows an interest). Music. Writing Music (Lyrics and Guitar). Theater shows (Classics like Hamlet and The Tempest). Waist Coats. Accessories. Model Guns. Dogs.
Dislikes: People who get in his face (but he likes breaking their faces). Losing a fight (but he never does). People who pick on weaklings. The logic of the world. The Internet.
Weaknesses/Fears: He's cocky sometimes. Can be reckless. Getting too close to people and getting attached (fear).
Strengths/Talents: His fists. His legs. His head (when he headbutts). Basically... FIGHTING. His Music. Good with dogs. Can sew and knit. Being a badass.
Personality: Dylan is the silent badass type who isn't ever scared to get his hands dirty in a good fight. He's always been getting into fights ever since he was a kid. So he decided to put his strength to good use one day instead of just misdirecting it and he got a job as a bouncer. He might seem aggressive and cold, but that doesn't mean he's a bad guy. He might just be a bit cocky at times, but it's not like he doesn't have good reason to be. The only other thing worth of note is that he doesn't seem to be close to anyone, and he frankly doesn't seem to care about that.
Sexuality: Heterosexual
Contact Information: He doesn't like the internet, so... through his phone.
Favorite Color: Blue. (This sorta blue)

Personality: A student at Brookridge Academy for Excellency, her family is intertwined with the history and development of Brookridge.

She is very calm under a majority of situations, and is extremely effective in hiding her true emotions from others. Despite this, she gives off an aura of pleasant, quiet, and mildly positive, yet melancholic comments -- one could even call it wisdom. However, she is decisive and ambitious, and a practicioner of many systems of defense that she considers integral to her personal philosophy of protecting herself and protecting others while pursuing a truth.

Also SUPER FUN 100 DAYS ALL-NIGHTER!! If you have no life and can stay up for...hours, then some of the kids are planning on staying up late and exploring Brookridge after the monorail arrives. Please note that if you are planning on sleeping tonight (at a reasonable hour), then please end your day as you normally would, considering that today is day 3/3. When the train arrives, just head straight to your dorm and go to sleep.instead of going off with the rest of them.

This is very strict. Please only go if you are going to stay active in posting long enough to explore and then head back to the dorms late. You may also head off with them and then leave the group earlier than the rest and head to the dorms.

Thanks! Have fun, night owls.

Remember, you're not truly apart of 100 Days until you neglect your heath for it!

 

I know the influx of characters has been bothering some people but this one won't be introduced until later so hopefully that helps u_u

Accepted.~

Note: You have less than 7 minutes to get your character to sleep if you're not going to stay up all night. Remember, there IS a penalty for not ending your days! Post a sentence if you must!

 

- At least six of you have a strike for not finishing your days. Finish them. Stop it. Stop it right now. And keep track of what day it is (day __ / 3) because I am not going to baby you all of the time. I am so serious, I am going to mercilessly boot you forever if you reach 3/3. We have people at 2/3 right now. Stop it. *Smacks hand*

- Midnight Star is about to miss the 48 hour mark.

- As I was discussing on Skype, it's not hard to talk to me about needing more time or something coming up. So if you don't, I DON'T EVEN WANT TO HEAR IT (unless something important happens). NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE NOPE.

- A lot of people have now left to Brookridge.

Recap for the newcomers (Basically all recaps put together with the highlights. People can always add to it with their own posts or whatever);

Spoiler

- Day One -​

The email is sent though nearly everyone thinks it is just spam mail or some kind of joke.

Thomas, who has been taking pictures for Madeline and has a major crush on her, asks her out. She says yes.

Temprance makes a Tumblr post about the email which Cherno replies to and they discuss it. This results in them agreeing to meet up to talk about it in more detail.

- Day Two -​

Arriving to Cafe De Vermeil early Thomas waited outside for Madeline. However while waiting Crestatia (who is only known as C at this point) uses her magic to make the sign fall on him.

Unknowing of his death Madeline feels stood up and has a break down and is soon comforted by Quin.

Meanwhile Temp and Cherno are at a diner where they try to talk about the email but Cherno is too busy freaking about the germs to really focus. Anthony then ruins their meeting and soon after that Quin also joins them.

M tries to return home but has been locked out by her mother, who is emotionally unstable. M can see through the crack in the door, as it opens just not fully due to the chain. She helplessly watches as her mother burns the prints Thomas gave her. After this episode so goes and sleeps at Reuben's house.

And at some point in the evening Temp meets her boyfriend (Josh) who is a jealous jerk and they break up.

- Day Three -​

Quin's concert takes place.

Cherno cried at the music.

M falls asleep in her car in the parking lot that John goes to.

We find out about Quin's grandma issues.

- Day Four -​

John gives M a ride and she sleeps at the church that night.

People finally learn of Thomas' death at a school Assembly. The principle speaks and at one point says "we lost one of our bells." Funny.

During the moment where his parents are speaking they vanish and the spot where they were is replaced with a bunch of flowers and time freezes. Cres needs something to connect her to the game board? Oh, she possess Anthony and speaks through him as well, allowing everyone in the area at the time (players of the game, as everyone else is frozen) to ask questions. This super cool opportunity is basically wasted.

After this M invites everyone to Lacey's to talk.

- Day Five -​

So now everyone is at Lacey's and they try to talk but it ends up being everyone spilling their ideas out at random. So disorganized, stupid teens. Temp and M even get into a fight. This breaks the meeting up and everyone goes to leave.

FIRST COUNTDOWN WOO.

So a tanker is spinning out of control and is heading towards the dinner. Each post results in the timer going down and whoever is not out of the way in time dies. At the end of it, it ends up being Xaiver and Ash. John was also in the way but somehow managed to live, which lead him to believe he was saved by god.

Cherno thinks this happened cause Cres doesn't want them to be able to meet up and talk so he asks for them to try smaller meetings in the future.

Altair is injured and goes to the hospital.

Some have breakdowns cause WHOA JUST WITNESSED DEATH.

- Days Six Through Nine -​

Some people ( Temperance, Anthony, Tyler, Cherno ) decide not to go to school the next day because...whoa....witnessed death.

It starts raining pretty heavily which causes flooding.

M zooms in on the fine print and finds out it is a number code and prints it out. She is unable to get all of it though as the power is cut off as Cres interferes. Stuff happens but since it's all between a character who stopped existing it doesn't matter anymore.

Abby runs from her bullies and hides in the gym with Elizabeth, the two bond. During this Abby gets a call from someone telling her two inmates had escaped thanks to the flood.

Elsewhere Temp is trapped at a drug store where she went to get a pregnancy test. The place floods and a NPC cashier dies from the cold. She was about to die too but Cherno came and saved her on a raft. The two were later found by police and dropped off at the high school, which was on high ground therefore safe.

Anthony's house gets broken into but he manages to fight off the intruders. Though gets hurt while doing so. After that he calls Cherno who tells him to get to the school as the houses start flooding.

SECOND COUNTDOWN.

Apparently it was to gather together, which we all did in the auditorium. Everyone was then locked inside and had to spend days eight and nine trapped inside, not sure how to get out.

Anthony reveals the code, which he happened to find and figure out before the break in.

To get out Brian suggested to confess something, Temp gave awesome Analynee theory, and M said to kill someone. So we killed someone, who happened to be Abby, ( :C )

After killing Abby, which Quin had to do, Quin was possessed and Cres declared an eye for an eye thing. But before being shot with an arrow (as she used a bow on Abby) Altair jumped and knocked her out of the way. This saved both of them but got him cursed.

Everyone (for the most part) who was there goes to Brian's house to spend the night. One of those who did not go was Elizabeth who went on a murdering spree instead. Silly yanadere. (her targets were those who broke in the house, as Anthony was about to recognize their voices. also killed the one she bought the gun from so he couldn't talk to the cops)

"It is also revealed that one of the missing parts to the code was "two souls or die" which is translated basically to...if you don't have more than one character, you're most likely just going to die and be out. Everyone in the RP--unless someone does something amazing--will experience a character death."

- Day 10 -​

Temp is pregnant after all, probably with her dad's child too.

Second generation of new characters starts.

Boring day.

- Day 11 -​

Daniel has a mommy and daddy issues.

Tyler learns Quin killed Abby. They're best friends so he understand she did not wish to do it but was an accident but still....angst.

Cherno talks to a medicine seller who is creepy as ****. Gives him some weird pills.

Brian tells everyone about the hot springs, which is a school trip to make up for the early break caused by the flood.

Apparently Alice, Aileen's sister, was adopted. DRAMA.

Allison returns from China where she was visiting her dying grandma.

Elizabeth starts killing cheerleaders who pulled a prank on Anthony the year before.

- Day 12 -​

Everyone goes to the hot springs for fun. But it's not fun at all. There's no fun here, only despair and death.

And memory loss too apparently, as Cherno shows up with amnesia.

Ruben sets M up to be a hooker and sends a client her way while she's there. She meets him in a dark room and later finds out it's John. He wants to be friends with benefits in exchange of him not telling anyone. She says she has to think about it and leaves.

While in the hot springs Temp gets a call from her friend who tells her that others they know are dead, killed by Elizabeth. Temp then has to listen to her friend being shot. In a rage she rushes over to the men's side and tries to drown Anthony, who is saved by Harley.

Later she meets Cherno in the lobby who has a gift for her, bought before he lost his memory. It is an emerald necklace, which she loved. She ends up kissing him as well, knowing it would probably get her killed.

M also confesses her feelings to Quin, though through texting.

Later, when everyone is asleep, Altair is possessed and kills the two, making it look like a double suicide. It cannot be proven otherwise.

Due to the murders the hotel closes the next day.

Since then was some down time between the arks, which some characters had development. There's also Analynne now, who uses Elenora as a vessel. Whenever she appears weird, bad **** happens.

Her and Cres hate each other or something.

 

Well, Tyler is fúcked getting stuck with Mr. Cursey, but where is Zoey on the list?
I already said she was moving to the dorms as well. :/

 

By that you meant, I'd gone over the 24 hour mark but still had over 12 hours to go to post. Well thanks for the early warning. You had me panicking.

Ah, this should be fun.​

 

Can't wait to meet the dorm mates.

They should totally have a dorm party some point.
