"Welcome to the hotel california...
You can check out any time you like, but you can never leave...If you haven't heard the song before, or if you just want to listen to it, click this link.
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=swPWZDoFPXISetting:Somewhere in the desert, in the middle of nowhere it seemed, there lies a hotel. Anyone who's stayed there would tell you the service is great. If they could, that is. Beneath the paradise of the hotel, the mirrored ceilings and pink champagne, the courtyard where it seemd there is always someone dancing, there lies something dark... something sinister...
Something that wants you to stay...
But how did you get there? Perhaps in a sports car, showing of to your special someone, or being showed off to, for that matter. Maybe on a motorcycle, looking for a nice, long stretch of road to just let loose on? Maybe you were just passing through, on a roadtrip with some friends, headed south of the border for a fiesta? Maybe you left a burrito in the glove compartment next to a .357 revolver your driver carries around for emergencies? I'll leave that up to you. Either way, your vehicle just happens to break down in front of the hotel.
Now I suppose you want to know the
rules.
1.) No magic! There are some exceptions, of course, but this isn't exactly the kind of RP in which you would expect everyone to start with a healing spell and a fireball.
2.) This is an open RP. That being said, if you decide to join, MAKE AN ENTRANCE! Now, I don't mean kick the door in and blow everyone away with an AK-47. Just try not to throw everything off when you enter.
3.) If a player does something that wouldn't make sense in this RP (Like, I don't know, sprouts wings, gets a magic sword and starts killing anyone standing in their way), let me know, or just tell them to change their post. If they don't, they can expect to be written out of the script. Which brings me to...
4.) If you die, you die. No one can bring you back. (Or can they?) Not that I expect anyone to die...
5.) Other than that, go nuts. Take this RP in any direction you can. Make it fun. Try to figure out what dark force has taken control of the hotel. I'm not going to tell you, mostly because I don't know. It could be a player! And remember, if you do something that would make the example in rule #3 make sense, then it would be perfectly fine to post it.
6.) I almost forgot, you'll need to put down your name and a brief description.
Now, to the important part... The first post...Name: Arke
Description: Though his appearence might not reflect it, he is the manager of the Hotel California. Oddly enough, this coyotes only jobs seems to be greeting the new arrivals on the porch, and providing music when it's needed.
On the steps leading to the hotel, there sat a scruffy looking coyote. He wore a faded pair of blue jeans and a plain black T-shirt. His eyes, a light shade of blue that seemed almost etherial, fell on the road ahead of him. It was quite some distance from the highway, but people still drove on it. And that was what he was waiting for.
In his hands was an acoustic guitar, and his fingers seemed to dance across the strings, producing a melody that, to him, seemed like a theme to the hotel behind him. And even though his mind was elsewhere, following the sound of an engine somewhere on the road, his fingers kept strumming the tune.
