Briarwood | Witchy thriller | ACTIVELY RECRUITING!

[Rayne]

I'm mulling this over and planting an interest flag. While I consider it could I reserve  @JinxieCosplay/ Kelsey Atkins? I've got a perfect little bookish witch in mind for this one.

Hmm.... Considering a bookshop maybe for my gal or an animal rescue.

One question @Sofia Grace  how does game time flow work? Do certain dates/ scenes set during a date get locked out and have to end eventually? Is a month of game set to only last during a certain amount of real time? I only ask because the pressure of needing to wrap scenes to keep to a calendar is one of my anxieties about group games.

We're anticipating there being a ratio of about one IC month per three OOC months, with some wiggle room. Since there are always going to be scenes that go on and on eventually they will need to be wrapped up so that players can focus on present-day stuff.

Sofia has enticed me here with her magic, as well as the group of fantastic writers. My muse is cooking up something, but I wanted to reserve an FC (Shirleen/richchocolit) in the meantime. 🖤

Loving the flavour! Im thinking of making the first non-binary and wanted to throw a few things at you:

1- they are CIS female/fem presenting, if a bit tomboyish. Thier identity has always been a sore spot for thier matriarchal family coven 

2. They loathe the idea of spookers (being an older crankier resident at heart). They only recently started picking up dishwashing shifts after the most recent disappearance. 

Especially wanted to float the latter. I want to be clear I'm writing an agst ball and not trashing the concept

*planting a flag of interest and will most likely work on a cs later, if still accepting* :)

If Duda Castro isn't taken, would it be okay to reserve her?

Late in replying to this but excited Mars has already arrived in Briarwood!

Hi! Do we have any indication of why they loathe the idea of Spookers?

Someone put a bug in my ear about this group so hopefully there is room.

Can I reserve Cervena Fox and Ana Cheri, please?

Ahhh it'd be so good to write with you again ^_^ 

[Kokaine]

You got it! 

Thank you  ^^

Ooh, hey Rayne! I certainly hope we get a chance to!

We will be opening the next week of in character play as of June 1st - it's not too late to get in on the action!

For those looking to join and get involved with the plot, there's still plenty of time to do so and for those looking for a place for some witchy fun that's available around the clock too.

Will continue to bump the thread for some new blood! 

[Sofia Grace]

Happy Sunday! 

We have officially added missing persons posters to our Briarwood Observer thread. This is an excellent opportunity for new players to join the game as we will be looking for potential family members/significant others/friends of those who are missing.

I think I've lurked long enough. 👀 Going to start small and reserve the face Corbin Bleu. Don't think I saw him being used right now.

Exciting!!!

Corbin isn’t reserved. Will add him to the list. Let us know if you have any questions!

[Devilyn Sydhe]

I sent in an app with Karl Urban as a faceclaim.  Hopefully he is available but if not I'd like to check on Dominic Cooper

We'll take a look at the sheet. :)

"Man, I remember when Briarwood launched... I wanted to get in early but life got in the way. There's probably no hope of catching up now."

There is hope! There are a few ways to do this if you're intrigued by the game concept and interested in potentially developing a character to submit.

If you are interested in the setting and just want to do smutty things (as some do), just create a character and jump in if you want. There's no pressure to know what the play-by-play is for the main plot, though it's obviously strongly encouraged so you don't feel way out of the loop.

If you're interested in the plot itself, which -- actually, let me remind you what exactly that is:

• Briarwood, Maine was founded in 1692 by a group of fifty four mages who escaped Salem's Witch Trials.
• For centuries Briarwood was known as a safe haven for mages. In the midst of the American Civil War, chaos broke out in Briarwood when the vampires and werewolves who had slowly infiltrated their community turned on the townspeople and started a bloody battle. Though the mages came out victorious, eradicating vampires and werewolves from the town entirely it was a dark time in Briarwood's history.
• Currently, humans and mages exist in Briarwood in harmony and have for centuries.
• Just short of a year before the start of our in character play, mages started to go missing. They would leave no notes behind, they would be unreachable by phone, and there was no explanation as to why they would have disappeared. Local mages have attempted to reach them with the use of divination but have been unsuccessful. What we do know is the missing are not dead.
• Our main plot focuses around the happenings within the town during the ongoing investigation into the missing persons. The start of our game is a week after a waitress at Spookers (our main focal point within the town) goes missing.
• By the end of the first week in character another employee of Spookers goes missing, this time vanishing right in front of someone.

We've recently started the second week of in character play, when it becomes clear that something big is coming. Two people have gone missing in just as many weeks when previously the disappearances were happening at a rate of every month to every other month.


We'd really love to get some more people who are interested in getting involved with the main plot especially given the fact that for our characters, things are about to get intense. This is the perfect time to join, especially if you're a fan of mysteries!

For a synopsis of what's happened thus far for the characters closest to the main plot, click here to see our game information thread. For a TL;DR version of that - a list of important scenes with short summaries of each, click here.

If you have a character concept you'd like to pitch, feel free to send a message to Deamonbane and I and we'd be more than happy to help!
