<div style="text-align: center"><div style="font-size:40px; font-weight: bold; font-family: 'Love Ya Like A Sister';">The Haunted Hotel of BDRP</div></div><br/>Welcome to the Haunted Hotel of Black Dahlia Roleplaying. Here, we welcome creatures of any origin to come and stay the night or to come and terrorize the not-so-welcomed guests. For you human-feeding beasts, please do keep the mess to a minimum. We're busy enough as it is without having to deal with disposing of any unfortunate bodies. And the higher ups have told me that the kill count needs to be kept low this year. Buuuut, what they don't know won't kill them, right?<span style="font-size: 10px"><span style="font-size: 80%;vertical-align:sub">but it might kill me if they find out.​</span></span><br/><br/><fieldset class="ctaBbcodeFieldset"><legend class="ctaBbcodeLegend">How to participate</legend>This is a drop in, drop out style roleplay. If you would like to come in and stay for the full run of this thread, then you are very much welcome to do so! If you want to stop on by to get enough posts to earn The Blood Moon medal, then leave, you are welcome to do so.<br/>
<br/>
Please keep posts in third person. (He/she/they, not I/you/we)<br/>
<br/>
You can join in as guests, visitors, employees, or pretty much anything that you would like. It's pretty much an open world within this one magical location that's built to accommodate anyone that wants to come on by. You are welcome to interact with other users or just with NPCs (which I'll be trying to juggle) if you would rather.<br/>
<br/>
Basically, it's a pretty free form roleplay setting for everyone to try and have fun and mix n' mingle.</fieldset><fieldset class="ctaBbcodeFieldset"><legend class="ctaBbcodeLegend">Rules and courtesy</legend>Of course, there are rules and things to keep in mind if you are participating.<br/>
1) Keep any graphic scenes in spoilers with warnings! - Due to the nature of this RP, they are allowed but not everyone wants to see it.<br/>
2) Don't kill off anyone's characters without their permission. -Again, due to the nature, it might be tempting, but this is a no-no.<br/>
3) Wait for 2 posts between your own posts.<br/>
4) Write at least 4 sentences per reply.<br/>
•) If you are interacting with another user or multiple users, please tag them in your post.</fieldset><fieldset class="ctaBbcodeFieldset"><legend class="ctaBbcodeLegend">Starter Post</legend>There is an old creepy hotel that nobody seems to ever be on the same page about. Some humans claim that it is just a myth spoken about to cause nightmares in the younger audience members. Some monsters claim that it is the safest place to be when their kind are getting hunted down. Some people say that it is completely overrun with plant life while others say that it is the most pristine building they have ever seen.<br/>
<br/>
The thing is that the only one of these tales that is wrong is the one that says that the Haunted Hotel does not exist. It is an old building that has been under a range of enchantments over the centuries. It changes and adapts to each individual's needs and desires. Every single room is different, some taking to a very outdoorsy aesthetic while others are better than the high end hotels that humans so adore. Some rooms are practically flooded while others are practically deserts. Some stay light all the time and some have barely working lights at all. The enchantments will make sure that there's a room fit for any being that walks, slithers, bounces, flies, floats, or otherwise enters through the door.<br/>
<br/>
As you enter through the large entryway, the lobby seems modern enough. Smooth tile floors in a cream color, walls in a pale red hue, a dark wooden front desk, chairs and couches off to one side. A long but slender table against the furthest wall, various jugs of colorful and colorless liquids sitting there available for the guests to enjoy. To some, this is a very cozy welcome, while others feel it is too bright, but it is only the entrance after all. The comfort is meant to be in the individual rooms, which could be accessed by walking through the hallways on either side of the reception, then heading up the stairs or elevator to find the right floor and the right room number.<br/>
<br/>
Leaning in a bored manner on the desk, dressed in a casual but still somewhat dressy suit, is a wolf furry. His bone hand rests lightly on the earthy material as the fingers tap idly on the surface. His other hand, a cross between a human hand and a wolf's paw, was resting on his cheek as two pale brown eyes looked absently out into the open space. Sharp ears were twitching ever so slightly as he listened to every little sound that could reach him, ready to leap into action at a moment's notice if he was actually needed for anything.<br/>
<br/>
"Welcome," he offers a greeting as someone walks through the door. He straightens up and puts the bone hand on a keyboard to the computer system, ready to take care of getting a new guest signed in for the next night or few. Now that he's not slouched over, it is apparent that he is wearing a red shirt underneath the black coat, and it seems to be a little discolored around the collar. A silver name tag with black letters was pinned over where his heart should be and read "Maya". No last name, or maybe it had no first name. It did not mention his position in the hotel, so it wasn't clear if he was just a normal assistant or if he was somewhere higher up on the chain of command. What was clear, though, was that he was obviously here to help out the guests.</fieldset>
