<div align="center">(http://i241.photobucket.com/albums/ff7/HaruTokushima/Davie_Village_by_kinol_zps9e66bcae.png)</div><br/>Indigo Way is quite the colorful place: over the years, many LGBT people have flocked to this Chicago neighborhood to make it their new home. Here there is little fear of being called disgusting or an abomination, for everyone is among their brothers and sisters, and mommas and daddies, of the community. Yes, it's become quite the safe haven for many, but, of course, between the hot sex and fabulous times, the residents have their squabbles--friends spilling secrets, neighbors being too loud at two in the morning, and that bitch at the other end of the bar stole your girlfriend. And there's the gossip--what else can you expect from a place full of queens?<br/><br/>So, come, the residents of Indigo Way invite you to join in on the fun.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><strong>Sexualities:</strong>The roleplay is geared more towards LGBT+ characters, but heterosexuals are welcomed, too!<br/><strong>Smut Level:</strong>The focus will be on story; smut can happen, but conflict and character development are more important. Think<em>Queer As Folk</em>, if you're at all familiar with that show; the characters have sexy fun times, but there's still plot. The RP will be placed in bondage. That way, those who prefer a little kink can have at it.<br/><strong>Post Length:</strong>At least two paragraphs. Writer's block is no excuse.<br/><strong>Post Frequency:</strong>At least once a week, though it's understandable if real life gets in the way. Just try to keep us updated, and try to remove your character from any interactions if you will be gone for a while (in this case, a paragraph is fine). Being gone for more than three weeks, without word, may result in removal.<br/><strong>Writing Style:</strong>Third person.<br/><strong>Characters:</strong>Humans, aged 18+. Most character types are welcomed! Some ideas should probably be run by me first before tackling the sheet: owners of businesses (see information under Setting), celebrities, or other characters that might substantially impact the roleplay or IC world. Up to 2 PCs per player, if you can juggle all of them.<br/><br/><hr/><br/><span class="bbc_size" style="font-size: 14pt;">The Neighborhood</span><br/><br/>Indigo Way, located on the north side of Chicago, is a snug community full of various shops and eateries. There are a few apartments, but two in particular are Parker Commons and The Kensington. Parker Commons, tucked off in a southern corner of the neighborhood, offers simpler one- and two-bedroom apartments for a more affordable rate. The Kensington, a luxury high-rise, stands just outside Indigo Way's northern boundaries, closer to the lake.<br/><br/><div class="spoiler_container"><div class="spoiler_header" onclick="hideSecond (this);" role="button">Parker Commons</div><div class="spoiler_body">A multi-building complex with a building per block.
