Wretched shoes. Lady Wynifred Sallow of MacQuoid scowled behind her fan in an attempt to smile. But through the pain biting at her toes, it was preposterously difficult. Her personal seamstress--a luxury few could afford these days (she managed a real smile at the thought, though she feared it came off more like a smirk)--was spectacular and always up to date with London's latest fashions, however, her creations were hardly comfortable. In fact, Wynifred felt the very opposite. Her shoes were far too small in the front (not to mention scantly padded) and heavy with rubies nobody would notice anyway through the layers of tulle and organza that fluffed her gently slanted skirt. If it hadn't been inappropriate, she would have ditched the godforsaken things hours ago. And her dress! It was magnificent, yes, but rather... scandalous. It traded sleeves for thin straps and hardly had a back at all, forcing a corset from the picture entirely. Wynifred felt near naked in such a gown, such a bloody color in contrast with her fair, expensively porcelain skin. At least her hair made for some cover--a light caramel curtain to mask her exposed back. She was lucky to have convinced O'Meighly to let her wear her long hair down today, lucky that her carriage had arrived on time, lucky that such grand fashion made up for her frustratingly average features: a nearly slim face with rather too much cheek to really be considered slim, thin eyebrows, an upturned nose, and doe-like auburn eyes. If Wynifred had been a man, her features would have been much more expensive. At least she was still young; she was hardly nineteen yet. But still, she was here to find potential suitors and heirs to the wealthy Sallow name. After all, until she was married, she couldn't inherit.

I suppose. I give up haha.

Well, I’m very familiar with the time period, I just know that there are some people who may not be. That’s all

Just say you want to join and you’re set feel free to pitch your ideas as well

I’m a little late to the debate, but lemme jump in rq lol. (Also I haven’t read much of this yet so just a disclaimer.) I think it should be set in a modern time period because it would be easy for everyone all around, and while you’re right about how little time it takes to search something up @Thaidakar the Ghostblood, it can get frustrating very quickly for those who aren’t familiar with the time period. I also believe the external conflict should be something they’re constantly around—some sort of apocalypse situation. It will make the roleplay more fun and add drama while keeping things not overly chaotic like the Hunger Games or something similar like that—maybe we could even work in some traumatic deaths and dramatic betrayals. The fact that our characters could be the last ones on earth not only puts pressure on them to live the rest of their lives but also to try and save humanity. If you catch my drift. But with a war, the focus would be fighting/winning, especially if the characters enlisted, and it would be incredibly chaotic. And many people here aren’t very familiar with the way war works. But yeah, I think a modern time period is just the most solid way to start off, especially due to how complex and sophisticated society was back in the regency era and the fact that most people (or at least nobles) had to and marry very young and make it someone who would keep their status secure. I think it would just be awkward to base a the-world-is-ending-romance rp in a society that kind of tabooed love a little bit (it existed, yes, but rules on it were very strict and I think our characters could grow uncomfortable). Idk. A sort of modern apocalypse would also give the characters a good reason to meet if they all ended up in the same bunker/shelter/etc. Also, with that being said, I think we could work magic into a modern time period if people wanted that. I think there shouldn’t be magic because it would make the roleplay more unnecessarily complicated when the focus is on love, not the world and saving it (at least for most characters). For the technology bit, I think it makes sense to go with the tech in the given time period—modern would give people guns and things, which would make it easier to protect themselves and keep the focus on romance (though of course there should be a little drama with the world ending haha) rather than drawn-out sword fights and things. Also, gun fights are easier to write (yes I’m lazy okay ). And lastly, I’m kind of a sucker for tragedy, but I think it would be kind of pointless to kill them all off at the end. I think it would be cool to have them never find a cure and have to find somewhere to go and live amongst the zombies. Anyways, that’s just what I think.

I’m in

You’re my new favorite.
