Chatterbox: Inkwell

Have we forgotten the beauty of everyday life?

Caught up in our fantasy worlds, we focus on magic and war, but the sun peeking through the trees is just as magical. The death of a friend just as shaking.

We consider our own lives boring. Uninteresting. Unworthy to write about.

No.

In this RP, we will prove that even realistic stories can be moving, magical, exciting. That the best writers (like us) can magnify something mundane into something huge. Wonderful. Extreme. Terrible. Our character will interact by: School, friendship, family, anywhere. Your character must be connected with at least three others.

Charrie sheet:

Name:

Age:

Grade (if in school):

Nationality (let's get some diversity):

Any disabilities or disorders?

Personality:

Backstory:

Appearance:

Other:

My first charrie:

Name: Hania Samara

Age: 13

Grade (if in school): 8

Nationality (let's get some diversity): Syrian refugee

Any disabilities or disorders? She doesn't, but her sister has PTSD.

Personality: She’s really quiet at school, but she talks at home. I’ll develop her much more later on, don’t worry.

Backstory: She and her family fled Syria in 2012, her sister getting PTSD from all the terror. She had many friends who died, and lost her personality as a result.

Appearance: As I said, she’s Syrian. She wears a headscarf. Not much else to add. Average height and everything.

Other: Not really much

My second charrie:

Name: Anna Bergen

Age: 30

Grade (if in school): She’s a teacher.

Nationality (let's get some diversity): German Jewish.

Any disabilities or disorders? No

Personality: Much better than normal teachers. She connects with the students on a deep level, and always offers advice. Again, I’m not saying much here, I’ll develop her more later.

Backstory: Her grandparents fled Germany during the Holocaust. After the war, they both returned to Germany, having forgiven the country (they were extra special and kind, okay?)

Appearance: Pretty average teacher look, with light brown hair and modest clothing.

Other: None

 

This RP is very different from normal RPs, which is good for creativity, so please join!

First off, I'd like to say that I AM SO SORRY I FORGET ABOUT THIS RP!

Second, I'd like to say that DO MY CHARRIEs GO TO THE SAME SCHOOL AS EVERYONE ELSE?

Third, I'd like to say that NONE oF MY CHARRIES HAVE ANY FRIENDS BESIDES EACH OTHER!

But whatever.  Let's get on with the writing.

~Lucy

I decide not to hang out with my other friends on the first day of seventh grade.  excep soda, who follows me around like a lost puppy.  

I brush my short hair behind my ear, and try to relax.  New teachers, new people, new CLASSES.  Seven periods is going to be hard, even if two of them are electives.  

i sort of watch as two girls walk off the bus talking.  I've never had that happen to me, since I don't ride the bus.  I keep people-watching as one  girl kind of. . . leaves, and the other walks over to an Asian boy and starts talking with him.  I must look worried, because Soda says, "Hey, are you okay?  You seem kind of down."

I wave him away, saying, "No, I'm fine, just nervous of the first day of school."

Again, Does anyone want to be friends and/or aquaintances with Lucy or Soda?  I really don't want to influence anyone's charries.

I'm quitting this RP.

Sorry, I just feel like no one cared.  Just because I forgot.  I don't care if any other people write about my charries, but I don't like writing about other people's charries, just because they aren't mine.  

That being said, I feel like no one cares because the words "Lucy" and "Soda" haven't been typed by anyone except me.  

Bye, guys!
