I have to take a leave of absence from writing here due to personal issues. I'm not sure if or when I'll be back. Just wanted to give a heads up.

Scene partners,

I haven't forgotten you! I apologize if I owe you a tag. It's coming soon. I started a new prescription medication that is like crack or something (read: I can't even sit still to sleep) and it's also my training week at work. I'll return soon!

Optional Plots/ Scene Ticklers

Make use of these if you want!

HONFLEUR:

1) It's HOT!
Worse yet, a portion of Honfleur's electricity goes out for a day. Keep cool in a neighbor's pool. Take a day trip to the gulf coast oceanfront. Decide it's an awesome day to wash your car and dump buckets of water over your head. Get some ice cream at Scoops. Note: A 'portion' means you choose if this affects you or not.

2) All You Can Eat
The Ragin' Cajun restaurant hosts an all-you-can-eat shrimp night. Yum!

3) Pool and Cheap Drinks
Enjoy pool, darts, and drinks at Croc's! Friday night is Ladies' Night... free drinks from 9-10pm.

4) Trouble
Let's introduce some NPC demon trouble, shall we? A couple of vamps has taken up residence in the Honfleur cemetery. All hell breaks loose when either, a) they receive an after-hours invite in the local Honey Bed and Breakfast, or b) snack on a group of folks leaving a Friday night Bible group at the Grace Bible Church.

NEW ORLEANS:

3) Wine Tasting
Visit a classy wine tasting for charity! http://www.neworleansonline.com/calendar/events.html?startdate=2011-6-10

4) Hip Hop
How about a hip-hop concert in the Warehouse District in New Orleans? http://www.neworleansonline.com/calendar/events.html?startdate=2011-6-10

5) Local Flavor
Hang out with the locals on Freshmen Street
http://www.neworleansonline.com/tools/streets/frenchmenstreet.html

6) Take a Ride
On a streetcar! http://www.neworleansonline.com/tools/streets/saintcharles.html

Recaps 24 May - 11 June

Hi All, Tim here.

Here are the scene recaps from startup through Saturday, June 11th. These are very basic 'who/what/when/where' type of recaps, so if you have more to add or want to put in some details about character development in a particular scene, please don't hesitate to do so in the comments!

Recap 24 May - 11 June

Application and PB Request

Character: Anders Sjostran (Pronounced Showstren)
Nickname(s): Andy, Prettyboy
PB: Alex Pettyfer
Type/Hat: Vampire/Grey-ish
Appearance: Fair of skin, hair and eyes. Medium height, slightly built and with some small tattoos. Typically considered to be very "pretty", which he hates. Generally found wearing very dapper clothing but will occasionally go casual.

Personality: Generally fairly good natured, with a bitty, little rage issue. His patience wears long but once it's worn out that rage comes flying at its target in a show of destructive force. Very random sense of humor, he's still working himself out as he was only in his early 20s when he was changed from human to vampire a handful of years ago.

Native of New York City and a former cop, he found himself unable to control his rages or thirsts in the big city so he hauled himself and most of his belongings on a long road trip to the plantation lands of Louisiana. He landed just outside New Orleans and did odd jobs in the dark for some cash while he tried to get set up and used to his new situation. His sharp North Eastern accent sticks out like snow in July so he doesn't speak out much in public. He might be considered eccentric.

(This needs some work still, but I wanted to get it out there so people could start opining! -Anne)

Requestiness

So, I really, really want to write for my character and this is a generic please-scene-with-me-because-I'm-all-inspired-and-stuff-but-haven't-found-anyone-who's-able-to-write-stuff post!

Should there be any takers/ideas, I shall be back after drama rehearsal-type activities, tonight.

That 'Google Docs' thing is an absolute mess, however and, truthfully, almost always has been. Mainly, because I'm lucky if it can lets me edit one, these days (don't know why). For that reason, it might be better to write through IM or use our sparkly icon capacities to thread something on here... Which, let's be honest, is the reason most of us wanted to be on IJ, right? :)

Fictional Locations

If you want to add a few fictional locations to Honfleur or New Orleans, just let me (Kate) know and I'll add them to the resource pages (and map as appropriate).

[info]the_deep_mods

New Character Apps

Since we've begun posting quite a bit, there is a slight change to the application process.

All new character applications should be posted as new posts in the OOC, as not to get lost in the shuffle.

We do have a new app currently up here:
http://asylums.insanejournal.com/the_deep_ooc/1098.html?thread=39498#t39498

Any after this should be posted as new entries.

Thanks so much!

Inspiration

There are times when you don't want to have to wade through a film or novel, just to get inspiration from where they're set. Or maybe you already have, years ago, but want to be reacquainted with what's important while still having fun.

So, while looking up video clips of my character's actor doing self-parodies, I thought I should bequeath unto you (nay, pass on) what's worked for me in an entertaining way!

Firstly, 'Left 4 Dead 2'. Granted, it's a computer game where you basically shoot your way through a zombie apocalypse (why Paul hasn't managed to get the only zombie-shooting game which allows you to play 'Re: Your Brains' on a jukebox, I'll never know), but its environments are quite huge and... It's set all through Louisiana!

You can literally walk through an entire level set in New Orleans (French Quarter included), others set in the Louisiana swamps (a part of one actually includes a small town which looks just like our fictional one) and more. While it's amusing stress-reliever, after realising the connection, I replayed some parts of it and was impressed at the level of detail they've put into the environments and building architecture. If you want to walk around inside of a 3D photo-realistic recreation of all the different types of areas of Louisiana, this would be it! :)

Cinematic advert (WARNING - AMUSING ONE-LINERS AND SOME GORE INCLUDED): http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=7ShE7oIUbkU

Secondly, 'Dirty South', where comedian, Rich Hall, the comedian, shows how Southern culture has been portrayed (both rightly and wrongly) in film/television/plays. Some highly amusing observations!

good to be back

Bahahaha!

Nanette: Nanette glanced at the doorway; Martín had already begun ambling towards the kitchen. The old man had been a good investment in his day, though it was clear his years were coming to an end. Nanette was considering keeping his head after he’d gone, as a remembrance. Though it certainly wouldn’t fit in with the rest of the collection.

And Also Tee-Hee!
Marguerite: “Of course.” Marguerite didn’t understand, unless she considered the fact that Nannette was...what was the phrase? Batshit Crazy? In either case she was too polite to say so as a guest in the woman’s house, and kept her expression unchanged as she lifted the coffee cup to her lips.

Hi folks

Just a quick FYI, I will be posting and doing further work on character bios, but I have an important essay - as in my end of module assessment - due in this Friday before 12 noon so (I'm all in a tizz about getting it done) dedicating all my free time to cracking it out before Friday as well... I'm at work on Friday!

Just wanted to let you know.
