Incubus, Inc. (MxM Group RP) [recruitment always open]

[Cleo4u2]

CS approved. How interesting that we have an escort named Sebastian....

<3

Who also plays violin *headdesk*

[Blythe]

I sense impending obsession.

[Blythe]

Updated with up-to-date player list (may edit if a detail is wrong), and a note under that about new applicants. It's a rather important update.

[Bron]

So I really really didn't know about sebastien when I wrote this. Really! I swear!

[Cleo4u2]

It'll make things very interesting lol

[Blythe]

It actually opens up a lot of awesome plot angles between your two characters, so I rather liked the resemblance.

I actually thought it was a planned inclusion to use as a character hook for Cleo's character, Bron.

The fact it's a coincidence just makes me grin worse than the Cheshire Cat.

[Suiko]

So... I'm interested in this. Very interested. Tempted even. Maybe more.

Anyway! Erm... I'd reslly like to be a part of this but I'm a little worried with what characters you already have - is there anything needed? Just I'd hate to kind of... appear on the scene and be awkward because everyone's already settled and characters are comfortable. If that makes any sense...

My muse has also been pretty fickle for the past... month (as several cowriters here will know) so would potentially semi-slow to glacial posts be a problem? Obviously if I was part of a scene in particulsr I'd definitely focus on it to not hold others up, but... Yeah, I don't want to make people huff and sigh because I'm taking too long.

So... Rambling over. Key points are thus

- Do you need any specofoc characters? (I'd be willing to Dom occasionally if that's the main thing)
- Would potentially slow posts be a problem?

... I feel I talk too much so I'll shut up.
*Zips and waits*

[Cleo4u2]

The front page is up to date with our needs, but Blythe seems to except exceptional characters despite what us posted there. Currently, the ballroom has open characters as several members made new ones. Also, there doesn't appear to be much pairing up like in other games. We hook up, then talk about how we can't wait to screw x person's character.

Also, Blythe, you so want to accept Khoraz into the game. He's delicious.

[Suiko]

*Coughs and smiles sheepishly*

Only as delicious as partners ♡

But yes... Mmm... Group gakes in general make me a little nervous but... I'll ponder, depending on Blythe's decision. ^^;

[Oneiros]

*pounces on Kho and holds him hostage within the game*

I think we need non-escort characters (non-escort employees or clients) most, but you need to be in this game. No matter what. O:)

[Nadir]

Looking at the character list, I think we could do with a sub member, or staff. I think you're safe to create whichever character you feel like so Blythe can look it over.

Posting speed is at the least once a week, but you only need five sentences for it to count. 

*agrees with the need for Kho in the game*

[Suiko]

Well I could be a client if they're needed...

*is happily held hostage. Hopefully with rope*

Staff? What sort of staff?

[Oneiros]

Someone who does stuff like work security, or in IT, or maintenance, or finances... Considering one of the first people to get any was the person playing head of security, the staff definitely isn't safe from being molested. ;)

*uses rope to hold him hostage*

[Nadir]

Actually, I think *all* members of staff are being molested right now >_>

There's also bartenders needed, perhaps some other types too. *ponders*

[Suiko]

What about a kind of... greeter/receptionist? Someone who offers clients tea while they wait and keeps track of appointments and stuff?

The admin/refreshment guy?

[Cleo4u2]

Currently we have a "head" host who does that greeting stuff, but he does have assistants. Personally, I'd like to see someone playing the bartender who apparently knows EVERYONE'S usual drink =3

[Oneiros]

Ohhh, a bartender would be a great idea. Yeah, we have very little staff right now, and the ones we do have are all being molested. ::)

I think we already have a host, I'm not sure what his exact duties entail. I was under the impression he's kind of like a restaurant host, people come in and he's all "Good to see you sir, let me take you to a nice penis."

Personally, I'd like to see someone playing the bartender who apparently knows EVERYONE'S usual drink =3

Seconded. *chuckles* The NPC bartender seems to know what everyone drinks. ;D

[Cleo4u2]

No, Arveldis is a hotel host, not a hotel consierge (sp?). He plans large group events, hotel events and makes sure the most important clients are taken care of. Usually only resorts and large hotels have them, though I don't know if they all call them hosts.

[Suiko]

Hmmm... a bartender could be fun...

I'm loath to correct you, but it's not so much that I just seem to accept "exceptional" characters; it's more like the people I ended up accepting turned out to be exceptional. This game brought all the talent out of the woodwork, apparently, hahaha.

Anyone who can meet the posting minimum is more than welcome to apply for this RP.

The other players make a good point about bartenders. Also, we just lost a client who was a sub (she had some laptop issues), so we need a new sub. Switches are always welcome as well.

"Slow" posts aren't necessarily a problem. The minimum posting requirement is actually pretty small, if you think about it: just five well-constructed sentences. The only pitfall you should watch out for is good spelling, grammar, and punctuation, as I have booted a player already for this problem. Typing posts in a word processor like Microsoft Word pretty much eliminates this problem, though. 

Submit a sample character, either here or via PM for approval, if you're interested.  Don't be intimidated by the size of this particular game; I can guarantee that all of my players right now have turned out to be friendly and chatty about what plans they're making for their posts. It's a really open and talkative group, and they're always happy to have fresh meat new players!


On another note: Update!

I've gotten a question or two from interested parties about whether people need to read the entire OOC or IC (there are two ICs) to get in—the answer is a definite “no” for the OOC. Just need to read the initial post and address what's in that. As for the IC, it could be very helpful to read if you want a vague idea how we seem to be getting along, so I encourage skimming it, particularly the tags in order to see where people are at.

Another question I had that I felt I should answer here was: is there a posting order for Incubus, Inc?

Hell no. I've got waaaaaay too many players who post at different speeds for a posting order.

[Suiko]

Mmm.... What's your take on a siren, Blythe?

I have a character in my head but I don't know if you'd accept a siren? If not I'll fiddle with him.

[Blythe]

I'd be willing to consider it, depending on the powers available to a siren.

[Suiko]

Well I'd need to put more thought into it, but essentially he would be able to drain the willpower from those nearby whenever he played music. I think that would be his main method of 'feeding', but of course he has the manners not to go to extremes - just making them feel maybe a little drowsy. Nothing excessive unless he's heard for a long period or he's focusing particularly on a particular person.

[Blythe]

An interesting idea. I'm open to that, actually, and I like the parallel it presents with the incubi and their semen requirement--perhaps your siren needs to "feed" every few days at least?

[Suiko]

Great! ^^

I was thinking he'd perhaps need to feed on blood rather than semen - playing on the myth of sirens killing sailors, you know?

Plus a character trait is that he has no desire for sex with another person. Ehem.
