BRAINSTORM TIME, PEOPLE!

Time to get started on things!

First of, our Room Thread rules are done by Broken! Give her some feedback on it! (Quote at Page 16 First post)

NEXT! Our beloved Broken has been asking for layouts and we need to determine what contests and games we'll be having in order to get it done. SO. DISCUSSION TIME! Get your brains working people! Post them HEEEEEEERE! Express yourself! Or die trying!!! Bwahahahahaha~! (Everyone is wondering as to why the author has suddenly gone crazy)

ROOM NAMES!

Yes, we must finally face our true fears. It's been ghosting by in our minds now, lurking, lurking... until the moment comes. However... Time. Has. Run. Out.

TIME TO BRAINSTORM OUR ROOM NAMES!

It's scary. It's terrifying. A whole range of possibilities exist, right at that blank space you're supposed to type in to reply a thread. But don't forget! We must not lose the day.

So GEAR UP and get your creative juices flowing! IT'S TIME TO SAVE THE DAY!



*Reminder*

Those who have not submitted their Introductions please do so... er, soon. Thank you.

ATTENTION ALL ROLEPLAYERS

It is time for you to choose the characters you'd like to portray during the Ball (Ball date is between June 18th-21st. Roleplayers who are unable to get online during the dates are to inform us by posting here immediately!!). Please check out the Characters Thread (under Basic Characters) to choose. Bear in mind that there are very few characters available, so if there's another person competing for the same position (or is better than you), you might not be chosen. However, if you don't have a character in mind and will just go with whatever position is available, please say so.

[.::♥::.Room Plot.::♥::.]

With Hermes' absence (he's the one greeting others into Hell), Ares took charge to greet fellow guests in Hell. They then take a ride through a ferry by Charon, the ferry man of Hell, through the Rivers in order to get to Hades' Palace. Through there, the rivers are introduced, and fellow guests are advised not to go down the rivers alone, who knows what might be lurking there... They reach Hades Palace, greeted by cool looking, but gloomy looking decorations, all made from the riches of the Earth (gold, silver etc.). Generally, they have a great time... that is, until Eris' arrived.


When Eris arrived, she came and stirs everything and everyone about. She kidnapped Persephone, Cerberus and Enyo, dumping them each into three rivers while her deeds were suddenly stopped by Zeus. While Hades is (in a VERY bad temper) cleaning up the palace (he might pop up in the search party later though, gotta ask Broken about this), Zeus asks fellow guests to help find the missing characters, led and instructed by Ares and Charon. Guests are divided into parties and search down the rivers. After various challenges (contests and stuff), each team finds the missing characters... though a little changed.


1) Persephone is dumped into Lethe (river of forgetfulness), and appears to have forgotten about herself (and Hades). Guests have to figure ways/go through challenges to try and get her memory back (especially before Hades find out and unleashes his fury through Hell).


2) Cerberus is dumped into Archeron, the river of woe. After guarding Hell for so many years, the strong and tough three-headed dog hears the grief and misery of the river and feels that he is no use at all, set to only bring misfortune to Hell. Thus, he is dead set on resigning from his position, thinking he's useless. Guests of the party must bring in confidence and self-esteem back, so he can continue guarding Hell for eternity.


3) Enyo is sent to Cocytus (river of lamentation). After hearing the cries of grief and sorrow from war victims, Enyo feels like quitting from her position as Goddess of War, refusing to work alongside Ares any longer, much to his dismay and anger. Guests must help Ares in quelling his panic and rage while getting Enyo back to her normal Goddess-of-War self to maintain the balance.
