♣ Uptown Bloggers ♣​

Welcome to the official RP thread of Uptown Bloggers!

Sign ups are found here.​

While the chic, rustic apartment building on 1st Ave technically isn't officially named "Blogger Building", perhaps a rechristening is in order. King's View Apartments are cheap, directly across from a bus stop and encompassed in a myriad of stores and services. Maybe that's why it attracts so many bloggers- these well-to-do young men and women who dream about getting famous for spending time on the computer. In the mean time, bloggers-in-training need to go to school, have jobs, eat, sleep, and socialize. So they come to King's View. An apartment complex that suits them as they handle college, part time jobs, social drama, and of course- running their blogs. The rooms are large with private baths and kitchenettes, and the lobby downstairs has a little TV and couch area for hte tenants to relax and socialize with each other. The building never seems to run out of apartments, whereas the tenants seem to come and go as they please- some have lived here for 10 years, some disappear for months at a time and come back as they please. Either way, one thing is for sure- Blogger Building is full of savvy, creative individuals. Care to join us?

Have fun!

OOC: Okay, so do they move in today? Or do they already live there?

 

[Newsies]

Abby: Abby arrived at the apartment complex with her arms full of shopping bags. A new Japanese supermarket had opened up just a little ways down and she wanted to try some new cooking. She looked to her left as she pulled a set of keys out of her pocket. "You've done some shopping too, huh?"

Poppy: Poppy had a couple bags from a couple stores in her hands- Lush, Sephora, and Bath and Body Works. "Huh? Oh, yeah." She blushed. "I'm, uh, planning on taping a new haul this weekend."

Belle: It was a typical Friday evening for Belle. That meant sitting at home watching Frozen in her old sorority sweats. She was hungry. Abby had mentioned something about visiting one of her fancy Asian markets before she came over for their sleepover, so she hoped that meant she was getting some Mochi soon.

OOC: Okay, so do they move in today? Or do they already live there?

OOC: It doesn't matter, I think. I mean, I made my characters preliving there but if you want to just move in that's cool too. Just... do whatever man

 

[tigerkitty]

Mercedes: She turned on the T.V., hot chocolate in hand, and started watching a recorded episode of Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D. She had spent the day moving a friend into their apartment and was exhausted. Hours of moving heavy boxes up and down stairs. At least she got $50 out of it. Tomorrow, she'd go shopping, but she wasn't going to go anywhere tonight.

 

[Fairywings]

OOC: Okay. I know I'll have my boys living there already, because they would probably already have enough trouble getting three boys moved into two apartments without one of them being blind. The girls, IDK yet.

Devin: He was lying on the living room floor, reading a book. It was a good day, he thought as his fingers swiped across the page. He'd been wanting to read this book for ages.

Alan: He strolled into the apartment. Seeing Devin, he plopped down on the floor next to him. "Guess who just walked into your apartment!"

Adriano: He didn't even look up from his computer screen. "Is it the same person who invades our home everyday?"

Devin: "Ali, I can hear you coming from a mile away."

Alan: "What? You're no fun. Can't you at least pretend to be surprised?"

Adriano: "How can we be surprised? You come over for every meal, seeing as you can't even work a toaster properly, you go to and from class with us, and you study with us after class. Sometimes, we even play video games until you and Devin fall asleep. You practically live here."

Alan: "Hey, I can work a toaster! Wait. Did you take your logic pills this morning? I think you took too many."

Devin: "You are so on a sugar rush."

Alan: "And what if I am?"

Adriano: "We're not five anymore, Alan." Then he smirked. "At least, Devin and I aren't. We aren't sure about you, We think you might be slow."

Alan: "Who are you calling slow?"

Devin: "Children, children."

Alan: "Yes Father," he said mockingly.

Adriano: "Did you just call me a child?"

Devin: "All I'm saying was that was kinda hypocritical."

Adriano: "Shut up." After a moment, he said, "Or I'll sic the family on you."

Devin: He held up his hands in mock surrender. "Oh no, not that, anything but the family!" Adriano was Italian, and had a large family. This family was very welcoming, made an effort to make Alan and Devin feel at home whenever they went to gatherings with Adriano, but that also meant they tended to treat Alan and Devin like sons of the family, which meant they tended to coddle Devin a bit more (okay, a lot more) than he liked.

Adriano: "Oh yes."

Devin: "Okay, okay, I surrender."

Adriano: He smirked. "I thought so."

Alan: "Cool. So what were we talking about?"

Alan, Devin and Adriano: They paused, thought, then laughed.

Vi: Typical evening. Headphones in, sitting on the couch, reading one of her favorite classics, Great Expectations. Melodies seemed to float through her head, providing a perfect backdrop to the story unfolding before her and in her imagination. Life was good.

Beatrice: Finally! The last box unpacked, everything was in order. She stood with her hands on her hips in the middle of her apartment and looked around in satisfaction. She hoped her apartment would never look this clean again. It was time to start living in it. And hopefully she could get in a few thousand words before she went to bed. And maybe tomorrow she'd start getting to know her new neighbors. Or even tonight! She couldn't wait to start living life on her own, having more time to devote to her blog, and of course, her writing.

Halolani: She finally got home from work for the day. They'd been living there for a month, but Hal didn't get to enjoy it much. Work took up a lot of her time; it could be stressful and it showed. Her hair was flying everywhere and there were dark circles under her eyes.

Octavia: She looked up when Hal came in. "Hey Hal. Rough day at work?"

Hal: She gave a tired little smile. "When is it not?"

Octavia: "I hear yah. Bunch of idiots today."

Hal: "Just because they aren't geniuses like you doesn't make them idiots."

Octavia: "It does when they want to bring politics into things."

Hal: "True that. Politics is one of the stupidest occupations around."

Octavia: "You can say that again. Why are we princesses again?"

Hal: She laughed and said with only a hint of resentment, "You're the only one who actually has a kingdom. My family hasn't had mine for over a century, and Tate's...well, Tate is only 16, 17."

Tate: She heard Hal and came in. "Hal, you're home!"

Hal: "Sure are, kid. What's for dinner?"

Tate: "Don't call me kid. And I asked Doc Oc, but she said she didn't know."

Hal: She laughed at the nickname.

Octavia: She rolled her eyes.

Hal: "Well Tate, let's go make some dinner then, yeah?"

Tate: "Sure thing!"

OOC: I have no idea what time it is in the RP, I just made something up.

 

[Fairywings]

OOC: I made rooms!

Mary Ann & Katrina: They got home from school. They went to their appartment. Mary Ann's mom was in the middle of starting dinner. They both went to their bedroom (which they shared together) and got changed out of their uniforms into normal clothes.

Mary Ann: She went into the kitchen to do her homework.

Katrina: She (finally) sat down and started to post her blog intro onto the blog her and Mary Ann share.

OOC: Newsies, Katrina and Mary Ann are supposed to be in the same appartment, but on the list they're not.

OOC (again): I'll make polyvore sets later.

OOC: (one last time): The blog post here

 

[Silvermist20]

OOC: FINALLY finished making the polyvore sets. Mary Ann and Katrina. The outfit on the right is their school uniform.

 

[Silvermist20]

Mary Ann: Once she finished her homework, she decided to post to the blog.

OOC: Click Me

 

[Orreed]

Diana McCormick: This little apartment would be perfect. Everything she needed in a nice location in this exciting city. She sat down at her table and turned on her computer.

 

[Fairywings]

Devin, Alan, Adriano: The hung out in the former and latter's apartment.

Hal, Octavia and Tate: Hal and Tate hung out while Octavia worked on the computer.

Iris: Iris was at home, cooking macaroni and cheese that she had picked up from the grocery store. She heard the key twist, indicating that her brother was home.

Jack: Wearing ripped jeans and a tee shirt, he entered his apartment carrying his shoes in his hand. He shut the door behind him, then dropped his shoes on the floor.

Iris: "How was work?" she said.

Jack: "It's work. About the same."

Iris: "Did you say hello to Xavier for me?" she asked. Xavier was Jack's boss, and an old family friend.

Jack: "Yeah," he replied. Jack sat. "Slow day."

Iris: Figures. Iris smiled. She said, "Oh well."

 

[Fairywings]

OOC: I don't know about you, but I think they're a little bit isolated. Maybe some interaction should happen?

 

[The Villianess]

OOC: I don't know about you, but I think they're a little bit isolated. Maybe some interaction should happen?

OOC: Nessie to the rescue! (Candace seems to be the most suitable for this interaction.)

Candace: She was heading upstairs with her EMF detectors. They were heavy, and she had moved all the way up here by herself with no moving truck. So she went to the nearest apartment door, then hesitated before knocking on it.

OOC: Oh good, it was seeming kinda dead.

Adriano: He opened up the door. "Hi."

[Fairywings]

OOC: Can I edit my post to change it to the guys? They're closer and probably more suited for this.
