SqueezeBabe Posted January 19, 2014 Share Posted January 19, 2014 It's an idea that goes a little something like this (and yes, I have shamelessly plagarised this from a book I read). Two people are joined together by a strange and unusual power. They share each others consciousness. Living on opposite sides of the world, they see through each others eyes when they close their own, and have done since birth. They are aware of each others existence, though they can't communicate "directly" with each other.

FatPanda Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hi Please Register/ Sign In, in order to see the links. ^^ I'm interested in the plot and roleplaying with you if you don't mind > I'm not very experienced so I can't guarantee anything but I'm willing to learn if you have any complaints. As for your rules, I like characters that are slightly atypical so I think stereotypical characters can be avoided... hopefully... I'm above 18 year old. I usually write in details but if it's not detailed enough I can add to it. English is my primary language so I'd hope that I know how to use "there", "their", and "they're" XD I just don't really understand what "You will be a literary genius (like me). If you give me two lines about eating chocolate on my couch, I will firebomb your house." means Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqueezeBabe Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ok - basically I have been told, that my writing is "good" - I can work with anything and everything and I understand the structure behind the english language and how to use words properly - to paint a picture and lead my reader or RP partner down a particular path. A LOT of work goes into what I write, so it stands to reason when you dismiss my efforts with "I sat on your couch eating chocolate" and leave it at that... I will of course, be mightily pissed and possibly make arrangements for your immediate extermination. I'm not concerned about "experience" as such - after all, these things are all about learning. If you think you can deliver the goods as stated in my rules, I will be more than happy to RP with you. ^.^ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatPanda Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 :hamtaro-005 (15): sounds tough to please you > if there is anything at all that you don't like, just let me know and I'll fix it immediately XD Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqueezeBabe Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 ok. ^.^ So, before he nut out this thing, are there any questions you want to ask? Now's your chance, I don't want to be getting half way through and have you say "I didn't understand" or something... Also, I don't do character sheets - but if YOU do, then this is fine.. they're just not my thing. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatPanda Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I have a few questions > 1. is this a love story? 2. do they ever meet in person? LOL 3. is it any time they close their eyes (a.k.a not just sleeping but also when they blink) 4. ^what about a wink? 5. do they start with contact through any other means (something like the internet O.O ) or does that contact come later? - - - Updated - - - sorry, one more: they ONLY see what the other sees, correct? So no hearing words? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqueezeBabe Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 *rubs chin* 1. It -can- be a love story, though that's not my preference. 2. The plot can be them trying to meet each other 3. I won't go for blinking as it's too brief, but if they were to close their eyes for say, more than five seconds (count them, it's not as quick as you think) then it happens. 4. No winking... that would cause your brain to snap. (also you can't wink for more than five seconds without people looking at you like you're touched in the head). 5. I'm thinking later - They grew up like this from the beginning, so it's something that they've always been aware of but never told anyone about. Like, they can speak each others languages despite never having formally learned them - Can you imagine a five year old English kid suddenly being able to speak Chinese? - Something like that. 6. I will allow hearing things when the character is actually -asleep-. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatPanda Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Okay I can deal with a loveless story XD LOL, I ask too many questions xP when they both close their eyes, is that when it's finally "black" like when most people are asleep? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqueezeBabe Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 You are correct. It doesn't have to be loveless - just sappy love stories are not my thing (Refer to Rule #2 of my rules). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatPanda Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Hmm, so love stories are ok for you if they are original... How about we get it moving and then decide if we want it to be a love story? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqueezeBabe Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 If you can think of a legitimate reason why they'd be in love with each other, then i'm more than willing to work with it. In the original story that I read, the characters were a boy and a girl and they did actually fall in love with each other and all that... so it's certainly plausible. Orright, if you want to go and do your thing (whatever your thing may be) then you can do it... I'm not really good at starting these things, so if you have something in mind already, then go right ahead. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FatPanda Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 I'm not into any cliché either so the love story will probably work my brain quite a bit. Either way, I'll think about it seriously Since we don't want to do any of the character thing... should I just start the thread with the first post? It might be very long because it's an introduction though... And... when our characters see what the other sees... how do you want it done? because I was thinking the easier would be: me: blah blah blah~~~ I close my eyes. you: blah blah blah~~~ you close your eyes. ^like that... but I don't quite like it XD because that means there is no selection (you can't let your character choose when to snap out of it) or we could do something with a bit of a back track... me: I ate pie and went to sleep you: on the computer doing homework and then I stretch and close my eyes. What I see there is a piece of pie like that^ seems more logical but you can decide what you want Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqueezeBabe Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 *rubs chin* I think we should take turns - you need to describe what you are actually doing in your post - it's your life, you need to live it. If you want to close your eyes, then close your eyes and it will be the next persons turn. - you can comment on the previous posts happening or anything you want. Remember we pretty much are at opposite ends of the world, so when one of us is legitimately asleep, the other is awake and doing their daytime thing. Part of the plot can be that we're finally "adult" enough to be aware of each other, and we send emails or post letters to each other (or something).

FatPanda Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Ah ok that makes sense I'm surprised you understood the last post XD I don't think there was much sense in what I wrote you're awesome :6onion72: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

FatPanda Posted January 20, 2014 Share Posted January 20, 2014 Do you want to keep the title as "When I close my eyes"? I think it sounds really good :3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SqueezeBabe Posted January 20, 2014 Author Share Posted January 20, 2014 *nods* I reckon that's a go-er - I liked the title and I don't come up with (good) names very often.. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
