This Looking For RP topic is marked as closed, meaning it is no longer seeking new players.

The sun hangs low in the sky, offering a warm, orange glow to everything under it's gaze. Clouds begin to shimmer in warm pink and purple hues as the day draws near to an end. It's been a long and busy day, with all of this adventuring business that you do. You scan the road before you, and find your eyes falling on the jaunty sign of what looks like a little cafe or tea house.
'The Lilytree Tearoom'
Cosy lights twinkle in the carved window, their wooden frames seem to be of the same wood as the sign above. The little door looks to be severely weathered, with a vine of sorts growing around the split planks. You can't quite decide if the shop front stands out from or is lost by it's surroundings. Either way, you head towards the door and pop inside for a look - a sit down sounds good right about now.

Accompanying the melodic twinkle of the bell above the door, the floral scents of tea fills your nostrils. The inside of the store is arguably more eccentric than it's front, with a cluttered dark walnut counter top and a variety of herbs and plants hanging from above. Behind the counter, a wall of different jars and pouches sit with handwritten labels. The sound of a quill being used stops soon after the bell finishes it's chime, and a mass of wavy, rose brown hair appears from the other side of the counter. Over her golden framed glasses, the woman beams a smile most welcoming, before hastily offering you a seat and a drink.




Hello and welcome to my little RP interest check thread! I've recently had some inspiration to make a quirky little tea shop character, and thought it would be the perfect way of getting back into some RP.

This scenario will be a short little meet cute of sorts, and will take place over the forums. I'll be choosing fantasy as my genre - not because the shop is in any way magical, but because I picture it being in a world that is.

All posts will be in third person, and I do request that grammar & punctuation are used for my own immersion's sake. If you're interested, please post your characters and any questions below! I'll get back to you in the next couple of days - I don't see this starting over the weekend because I'm going out.
Magic 80%
Magic is common.
Technology 30%
Renaissance
Combat 00%
No combat. If problems arise, players may be expected to solve it without resorting to violence.

Details: Freeform, adjustable length posts, one-off scene.

What a lovely idea. ♥ You've set the scene so brilliantly, from the colors you've chosen to the sounds described. The imagery creates calmness of tone and welcome to be expected of such a shop you've written. I will most definitely be in contact with you.

I’m interested! Sounds lovely

I'm interested! Rig is a wandering lummox that would appreciate drinking delicate tea and feeling fancy.

Hmm... I am interested in something without having to have my characters blast the heck outta someone. I would like to join, but it would go against my tradition if I didn't pick the character I have who is the most awkward in both this setting, and with other people.
I feel like it will add some fun to it, by adding a tall, scary lug with a secret sweet tooth. If you feel like I shouldn't use Xexel cause it will upset the plot (if there is one. I know some rps here don't have a particular path), or if it will break the immersion, that is fine, I have other characters. Lemme know!

Aaah, thank you so much for the interest, everyone! :D I wasn't expecting so many people to be keen for this! I'll reply to you all personally this evening when I'm able - I think a small group RP rather than having a 1x1 with all of you is the best layout for this. <3

Just so I don't overwhelm myself too much, I'll pick two or three people to take part - I hope this sounds suitable for you all. Hope you're all having a great Monday!

Sounds good, and I hope you have a great Monday too!
