Community project - abandonned dark city

Thanks. That explains it perfectly.

I thought it meant I got to be an Australian Country Western singer who married that nutjob Scientology guy's pasty-white ex-wife.

Wait. That's Keith Urban Roleplay.

Seriously. Does anyone actually know what dark urban roleplay is? If not, do you know where it is? Maybe I can figure it out if I go there.

It might be feasible if the interior of the apartments wasn't quite as glum as the exterior, maybe a little lighter in color but not perfect. I mean, really, what are we looking at - houses with cracked walls and windows, paint peeling, urine in the stairwells.... but someone that lives there will likely pimp it out with leather furniture, elaborate sex toys, massive electronics... I wouldn't necessarily want to tout it as a BDSM community but it could certainly be a home to one, especially if marketed correctly.

Do not malign the fair of skin, or I may be forced to weep.












(I do agree with the 'nutjob' assessment, however.)

Dark Urban Roleplay..I would assume crack den?..ColA?...How much darker do ya want?

Midian/Toxian City? Half those places (to me) have become cartoonish with vampires and demons and angels running around.

I recently have been to Crack den though and the gang owned parcels with graffiti and people actually using their respective places really adds to the realism for me. Also there are on site mods who make sure OOC is kept in IMs..which i REALLY like.

/me throws in her two pence.

I think it has to do with a lawyer interviewing too many secretaries and them ultimately plotting his demise by a skydiving accident. ;P

Not sure it totally fits, but Deadend might be somewhat dark urbanish. And there's definitely RP there...

only if ELO does the soundtrack

Its close to midnight and something evils lurking in the dark
Under the moonlight you see a sight that almost stops your heart
You try to scream but terror takes the sound before you make it
You start to freeze as horror looks you right between the eyes,
Youre paralyzed
Chorus
cause this is thriller, thriller night
And no ones gonna save you from the beast about strike
You know its thriller, thriller night
Youre fighting for your life inside a killer, thriller tonight

You hear the door slam and realize theres nowhere left to run
You feel the cold hand and wonder if youll ever see the sun
You close your eyes and hope that this is just imagination
But all the while you hear the creature creepin up behind
Youre out of time......



and thats as far as i go w/o backup breakdancing zombies

there will be no more dark cities now that Wind Light is coming.

Don't forget the Vincent Price bit!

Darkness falls across the land
The midnight hour is close at hand
Creatures crawl in search of blood
To terrorize yawl's neighborhood
And whosoever shall be found
Without the soul for getting down
Must stand and face the hounds of hell
And rot inside a corpse's shell
The foulest stench is in the air
The funk of forty thousand years
And grizzly ghouls from every tomb
Are closing in to seal your doom
And though you fight to stay alive
Your body starts to shiver
For no mere mortal can resist
The evil of the thriller

how could i forget Vincent!!!!

No more posts from the OP. I wonder if he has abandonned this thread.

Or perhaps it's hard to type in the dark.

This one is even better - it has the word's worst transvestite and the lead zombie wipes his nose with his hand in the beginning. Prison in the Phillipines ROCKS. I want to be a criminal there!

Other than the thinning hair, I think the transvestite held her own, and her tube top, very well.

You do know that euro-Fords are built and designed in Köln.

I don't know Trout, that Indian version does give hope to all us fat old guys who want to wear leather.

Shhhh. Most of the clan doesn't know we're fat and old.

I rather thought it was more of a warning to old fat guys NOT to wear leather.

I wonder what the balding transvestite did to land in jail. I wonder where the zombie wiped his hand after he wiped his nose. I wonder why I wonder that. Actually, those prison shows on the Discovery Channel fascinate me - they always talk to some guy in a tiny concrete room who completely and matter-of-factly says something like, "Yeah, I'm here because I killed my mom with a pickaxe." Just like it's no biggie. Meh.. Pickaxe...whatever...she pissed me off...*shrugs*. Then he gets furious when he talks about how his toilet is in his cell and he doesn't have a separate bathroom in there for privacy. I feel like I'm getting some insight into an alien species whose minds are constructed very differently than most human minds.

What struck me was how in the Filipino prison, they all looked pretty much the same, kinda scrawny. Not the roided out freaks you would see in the yard in an American joint. I mean, I would look like a roided out freak in that Filipino prison.

That's because instead of spending all their time in the yard lifting weights and stabbing each other with sharpened toofbrushes they're putting together musical reprisals of Michael Jackson songs.

Every Christmas, they do the Nutcracker, and their rendition of "The Music Man" got national acclaim.*



*I completely made that up.

The Nutcracker is exceedingly popular. As is Grease.

This whole thread is highly amusing lol

Anyway, to clear up ...

Dark: usually something with an edge, goth often, horror elements, the potential of death and harm, threatening. Settings that are trashed, run down, or just old, and almost always with lots of black grey and dark brown. But there are endless interpretations of it.

Urban: in a city, almost always modern or some close approximation.

Even though the comment was meant in humor, the person who said "it's roleplay, that means it's whatever you want it to be" is in fact fairly correct. The point of roleplay (I'd like to believe, at any rate ) is to be given a few creative prompts (like the setting/theme) and use that as a starting point for your own creative stories. So really, you don't want the 'theme' to be too constrictive, or else you're not gonna get very many people that want to play.

Why, oh why did you have to dig that one up...? *sighs*
