hello darkness my old friend... and by that i mean hello again, holly heights! i'm kitty, and i've been here before with mikan tsumiki and nanako dojima... and now, with better time management skills, i bring to you pearl fey. my plurk is over at [plurk.com profile] pissbaby - feel free to add me if you'd like!



pearl is an 8-year-old spirit medium in-training from a small, isolated village in the mountains of japanifornia. she's never been outside the village, doesn't know what a computer is, and has only seen a handful of strangers in her lifetime (and probably only like 1 or 2 people who were not women). she also has a tendency to ship people, so what better place to be in for that other than holly heights? she'll be in house 1416 with germany and count d, and i can't wait to get threading!

Just a note that Ryuko's been updated to the same point as Satsuki (ie, postseries/OVA). She'll be over her temporary edgy phase and back to being the same stupid rude jerk she was before, only slightly less rude. Still plenty stupid, though.

As usual, her opt-out/spoiler post is here, since she'll obviously be chock full of them now. Carry on!

Hey, everyone! I'm Al, here to add to the onslaught of sports characters, though this one would rather play video games than volleyball...

This is Kozume Kenma, a setter for the cat school, who's pretty apathetic and indifferent to most things, doesn't like getting tired, and has a hard time making friends so he stays on the outside and observes most of the time. The only things that seem to make him excited are video games and one Hinata Shouyou.

He'll be coming in without his PSP, though, and with the number of other volleyball players here he'll need help escaping practices please and thank you-

Anyway! You can reach me on plurk ([plurk.com profile] icemake) to plot or chat or anything at all! Kenma will be staying with his best childhood friend Kuroo in #1492!

HELLO HOLLY HEIGHTS. my name is sisi and i'd like to continue the reign of sports trash by bringing you hinata shouyou of haikyuu!! fame. what can i tell you about hinata! he's very loud, very short, very enthusiastic and very very very very VERY excited about volleyball. he's the protagonist of his series and comes to you just after chapter 149, which i won't tell you about for spoilers.

i've been dying to play in this game for a long time and i (like hinata) am very very very excited to be here!!! i'm at plurk as [plurk.com profile] asterisms and i'd love to be your friend! he'll be living at house 1493 with bokuto koutarou and god forbid anyone who has to parent them.

hurrhurr jane here again bringing more SPORTS GARBAGE to sports heights. this is Ryouta Kise from Kuroko no Basuke!! he's a basketball junkie but he can play virtually any sport as long as he sees it once. so feel free to bully him into your teams!! he might cry and whine a little but that's part of the fun.

he's also a part-time model and, yes, he knows he's good looking and isn't afraid to admit it. and if he respects you, he'll add -cchi to the end of your name. no you don't have a choice.

he'll be in 1449!

Hello everyone! I'm Jensen! I used to play he a little while ago and I return again, though with someone completely new this time.

I'm bringing in Lily Bakserville from Pandora Hearts. She is small, cute, and has killed people when ordered! She might look young, she kind of is, but after being stuck in the Abyss for 100 years she went from 12 to 112, though she stayed emotionally at 12 since it maybe felt like she was there for a few weeks or so! She also has a very large red tattoo on her face, that's called the mark of the devil. It has a lovely story with it as well!

She will be really confused to the technology in Hollyheights and she has been placed in the house 1405 as a parent. Which looking at the list means that Oikawa will be her child, she will be more than unsure about this since why would she have kids suddenly!?

I look forward to playing with all of you! I can be added on plurk at [plurk.com profile] blazeburn and on aim at blazingchilipony!

I normally don't post to the OOC comm with these, but my OOC availability will be affected by this as well as IC, so I wanted to make a note. I've had to call a really unexpected hiatus for the next couple of weeks due to RL obligations. Lately, I've been experiencing some health problems that have made RP and academics hard to juggle; you may have noticed a slowdown on my tags. I'm sorry for letting myself get overwhelmed.

Today I received some bad news about a project of mine, and honestly that was kind of the final straw. I need to dedicate the majority of my time to that/

I put in a canon update for Satsuki before I learned this, so hopefully by the time I get back she will be her delightful and bushy-eyebrowed end of series self.

I'll be scarce online for this period of time, but I'll get the email notifications if you want to private plurk or PM me at this journal.

Sorry for the inconvenience!

hello hh!! the results of the prom theme polls are in, and the winner is STARRY NIGHT (Not The Van Gogh Painting), BY A LANDSLIDE!!! woohoo!!!!!! this is my working title, please feel free to suggest a better, actual ic one in the comments.

moving right along, in this post we will need nominations for prom king & queen! you know, the to die for It power couple that lobbies like hell for votez, go up on stage, get a crown and a scepter, wave it around and smile, possibly have pig's blood spilled on them, etc. either gender can be recommended for king or queen of course, and the only stipulation is that they must be a high school student. AND BONUS, we're also doing a second place, prom prince and princess!! you won't need to nominate anyone for those; all second placers will win that automatically. everyone's a champ!

i'm also going to include a thread for any other plotting or ic volunteers, including any adult faculty who want to help out. in 2 weeksish, nominations will close and voting will start up until the day before prom, which is, again: may 1!

have at it!!!!!!!!

ACTIVITY CHECK ➜ MARCH


If one of the following names are yours please either respond:

Here if your name shouldn't be on this list because you replied to the AC OR if you see the name of a player that has dropped OR you've hiatused (that isn't already noted); aka if you're exempt etc, etc. Refrain from commenting here unless your comment is in regards to the above. Remember a hiatus must be 7+ days for it to count.

➜ PLEASE DO NOT POST HERE TO SIMPLY TELL ME YOU POSTED YOUR AC.

The Activity Check if you haven't yet posted to it!


Here is the list:

March Activity Check Warning List )
 
 
25 March 2015 @ 10:43 pm
ACTIVITY CHECK ➜ MARCH

Activity Check will run through the last week of March. Activity can be from February 22nd through March 31st. Please use activity posted before this week unless you are stretched and must use a proof from reserve week.

SOME NOTES ON AC

Here are a couple of not so crystal clear rules about what is and is not activity. It's never been strictly laid out like this before since it seems a little obvious, but just in case, here's what does and doesn't qualify for AC / tag count starting this AC:

➜ If you used a thread or post in a previous AC you may not use that thread/post again. In short terms, if I've seen it before, I do not want to see it again. Even if you tagged a post 100 more times, I want to see new proofs of activity. Not an old one with new stuff added on.

➜ With open logs, you may use more than one thread from the same log but they must have different characters in them. For example, from our recent island log, you may use an Island 08 thread and an Island 12 thread to make or combine for AC, but if in both threads you're threading with the same character, you can only choose one.

➜ Do not alter the form you are given to post AC with. This makes it so much easier for me to go through and for others/yourself if you need to reference them.

➜ Forms now have a place for a comment count. Please do not leave these off. Please use these to do the math for yourself. If you have a comment count of 3 and a comment count of 4 for post threads, these do not add up to 10 thus they do not count.

➜ Finally, and this is newly decided, comment spams will only count for one comment. This is an example of what I mean. Kanata would only have one comment AC wise here even though he made five different comments.


Please provide one (1) proof of activity in one the following forms:

A post either on the network or the log community. A post counts if you have put it up and replied to comments on it as of when you post it. Please do not use a post with no replies from you as proof.

Network post comments equaling to 10. It can be a thread with 10 comments from you, three threads with 3+3+4 comments from you. Enough to equal 10.

Log post comments equaling to 5. It can be a thread with 5 comments from you, two threads with 3+2 comments from you, etc. Enough to equal 5.

Mailbox post comments equaling to 15. It can be a thread with 15 comments from you, two threads with 9+6 comments from you, etc. Enough to equal 15.


You are exempt from the activity check if you:

Posted any hiatus during February 22nd through March 31st that lasted a week or more. There isn't a need to comment here if so, but if you'd like to pop in and say something OR if you have enough to post to AC anyway, feel free. Also, if you discuss a hiatus with me personally, it always helps to post it somewhere anyways just so I don't overlook it.

Post with a strike. Simply reply with the form but instead of dates and links, put STRIKE. This is for those that wish to continue playing but don't have enough activity to make it this month. If you ask for a strike the next month, you will be removed from the game. If you make AC the next month, then your strike will be negated. If you take a strike and then hiatus the next month, your strike will roll over with you whenever you are next active.


Please do not post AC for others without their express permission. If someone would like to idle out by not responding to the AC, then that is their own business, and not the place of others to show activity for them.

Do not post activity until it is complete. You have a week to complete activity, so don't dilly dally! Please fill out the following form for each character you have. Feel free to put multiple characters in one comment. You have until the beginning of the new month to post, then you will be removed from the game. There will be no exceptions.

NEW Because the game is not as big as it used to be and has slowed down in speed and character turnover, we'll be doing an AC for a while that only requires one proof. Based on the ability to complete this and if the game's temperature changes, this may be edited but for now it will remain one proof of AC for everyone. This goes for everyone.

AC FORM

Drop  
It disheartens me to say that I will be dropping both Serenity [personal profile] moonlit_star and Snow White [personal profile] onebadapple from Holly Heights and thus dropping the game completely.

I had a wonderful time and enjoyed interacting with so many of you. I wish you well Holly Heights.

- Jax

I know this was supposed to be up yesterday but a house emergency came up and then I slept like the dead so please flog me.
JOBS & YOU

Here are the jobs that will be available during the job round of MARCH - APRIL. This time, around though, this will go a little differently.
➜ Currently there are a lot of unused businesses on the locations post. At the end of this round of jobs (April 20th), the locations are going to be gone...unless someone takes them over.

➜ It's your opportunity to take over an abandoned business! This is actually doable all the time but this has a little more incentive. For taking over a job, your character will also receive a receipt for $1000. Of course, they won't receive it until their notification saying they're a new business owner comes in.

➜ The applicable jobs are those that have no one listed. So if one person is listed, even if they aren't the owner, they don't count.

➜ In order to claim a business, please post here with your character's name, username, and the business you want for them. Once you've replied here saying you've claimed the business, I'll respond and direct you to go to the post to officially make a claim.

➜ You may also do player offered jobs (as per usual) here.

GREEN WITH (INSERT SOMETHING HERE)


This Holly Heights event will be luck and chance related both in game and how the event will be set up.

➜ This Holly Heights event will be luck and chance related both in game and how the event will be set up.

➜ In this particular event, players will have to come up with five unlucky things and five lucky things for their characters to experience. These can be either permanent (for the event) or only last a certain amount of time. For example, a lucky occurrence could be "Makishima finds five dollars on the ground everywhere he goes" and an unlucky event could be "Lily goes bald for three days".

➜ What's the point of this creativity? On specific days throughout the event, a roulette wheel of chance will spin and characters will have to experience these events in game. The specific days for these events will be the 14th, the 17th, the 19th, the 22nd, and the 25th.

➜ If you don't get the gist, here's a good example that shows what will happen:

Let's say that Makoto has five unlucky and five lucky events associated with him and they are written in a sign up comment. On the 14th, the comment will be replied to with a determination of whether this is a lucky day or an unlucky day for him, meaning one of the events will be triggered. Here are some examples from this hypothetical list:

UNLUCKY
14th: Breaks a bone
17th: A friend becomes mad at him for a few days

LUCKY
14th: Someone he likes kisses him
17th: He is gifted with a pie

On the 14th, the comment will read something like "Congrats! Today's your lucky day! You'll be kissed by someone you like." Today has been a lucky day for Makoto. This event can happen ANYTIME during the event itself.

On the 17th, Makoto will then experience an unlucky day; "Oops. Looks like your luck isn't that great. You'll make a friend angry somehow." Hopefully the specific example helps you understand the event a little better.

➜ For those who can't come up with a concrete set of pratfalls and highs, you can also help make some general wacky scenarios of your own. Go to this comment and contribute some unlucky events and some lucky ones that can be randomized for those who can't come up with anything or would rather see their characters go through something a little more spotty. If you aren't comfortable or can't work with the event that you were given, simply ignore it. Try to be malleable, though.

➜ The events that you choose CAN be specific to certain characters, both in your own sign ups and in the event creation thread, but only with player permission. For instance, you can't go and put "Nagisa blows you" in the event creation comment section unless that player says yes, Nagisa is a sex freak and would gladly blow anybody. Just as an example.

➜ Signing up requires filling out a form and commenting in TWO places.

First: comment here with only your name in the subject line and the comment blank. This is where mods will tell you about your fortune for the day. This is so you can edit your event comments freely. Do NOT forget to make a response comment or you cannot participate.

Second: comment to this thread with the following form. You don't have to come up with all events immediately, but you SHOULD get them in as the days pass. Your 14th events should be in your comment before the 14th gets here (CST).


➜ If you want to use randomized player made events, just simply put the word RANDOM in place of an event.

➜ Any questions should be directed here!

THE STATE OF SHIT


➜ People still haven't gotten their gift paid accounts. Totally my bad. I get paid on Friday and will be giving out six instead of three. For real this time. Pinky promise.

➜ Also, some Things happen and I kind of let the LL inbox slip a little. ICly, the Landlord was on a gay cruise and will come back home to answer all his mail ASAP.

Hello guys, Iyo here and unfortunately RL has been giving me a struggle in the creative portion of my free time and I am in need of a break from RPing. It's such a huge bummer for me since I had just gotten Nasubi to start slowly branching out after being so quiet for a while, but I'd hate to keep people waiting on me to get anything fun done.

Nasubi has left a few arts and crafts for people he got to know and talk to before returning back home to Hell. Thanks so much for letting this little guy be around in this game, and hopefully see you around! <3

hello again! linlin (onoda/oikawa-mun) here with character number three daiki aomine from kuroko no basuke aka that one basketball anime about kids who have colorful names (and hair to match as well).

for those who don't know, aomine is one lazy asshole with a heart of gold. his favorite pastimes include sleeping on school roofs, collecting gravure magazines, and playing basketball. he is literally a basketball junkie when... he... you know, gives a hoot about the sport that is. (it's complicated). anyway! he's from chapter 270, which is towards the end of kuroko no basuke. though i doubt he'd talk about the outcome of the winter cup so you don't have to worry about any spoilers coming from him.

as far as game stuff goes he'll be staying in #1459!

if you need to reach me for plotting purposes feel free to hit me up on either plurk ([plurk.com profile] soulstoke) or aim (swimppuku)! and as always i'm looking forward to playing with y'all! :>

 Hi i'm Comgan, a new dream width rper and i've apped in Saiha from Itsuwaribito Utsuho.

I guess for those unfamiliar with him he's this person who never leaves Kuroha's side and it's going to be an interesting experience with him learning to function without her. Other then that it probably will take him quite awhile to warm up to people. I don't know, sorry this isn't very long

He's over at 1404.

If you want to contact me my plurk is  [plurk.com profile] comgan .

Hi, Holly Heights! This is Lady, player of Lily Ivory ([personal profile] vintage_magic), and I’m bringing in a second character, Count D from Petshop of Horrors!

 photo backgroundpet2_zps48d8c38a.jpg


For those not familiar with the series, he’s a mysterious Chinese shopkeeper with the ability to understand the speech of animals and has a Chinatown shop full of rare and exotic animals that can take on human forms.

Calm and soft-spoken, he normally dresses in Chinese robes and is often mistaken for a woman in canon due to his beauty. (And will get offended if you call his robe a “dress” like a certain American detective.) He can be quite charming but if he ever offers to sell you a pet with a three-clause contract, you should probably run away! Contracts with him tend to…not end well. And he can be kind of creepy and hides a lot behind that charming smile.

But the easy way to get on his good side is to give him sweets. He loves sugary things as much as animals!

He’ll be living in 1416 with Germany and Snow White. And will contribute to filling the house with sweets and animals. At least, they won’t be man-eating rabbits and three-headed dragons here!

And I can be found at [plurk.com profile] embroideress for plotting!

Oh, and a note about his icons… His hair is meant to be black (it’s stated in the text and his hair is black in the anime) but the artist is in the habit of coloring it all different shades in artbook pictures. So please assume it's black despite the icons!
