I think I will have the band's "home city" be Helsinki, the capital of Finland and largest city in the country. They would be able to be more anonymous in their hunting activities in a large city.

Where they go to for their first concert (after the roleplay starts with the end of their last at-home concert), I don't know ... maybe London? Someplace big, someplace far away - very exciting for them for that reason, and also because it will be their first out of country concert, so that will be part of the excitedment.

Or Germany.

[flightoftheunicorn]

Yeah, I was thinking of either:

London
Berlin
Paris
Moscow
Tokyo
New York City
Los Angeles


as the first city - someplace big, bustling, and full of international appeal

Yeah, Berlin came to mind when I thought of possible first cities. I think I'm going to leave it up to Miss punk d anarchiste to decide which city will be first, as I don't really care, as long as it's somewhere big - someplace that will be really exciting for a young band to begin their international debut.

She'll most likely be making the first post, so I leave it in her capable hands - she has excellent taste and I trust her judgement. wink

[flightoftheunicorn]

So, this is the startoff scenario:

They're playing their last song (or it has just ended) in Finland in their band's birthplace, the city of Helsinki. As soon as the concert's over, they will be leaving for the airport (no time for a "bite", most likely - or only a really quick one, think VIP passes quick). And very soon, they will be in the air on a late night flight to _______ (city of their first international concert.) Their Finnish fans are sad that they won't see them for a few weeks or months, and the band members are excited and nervous about playing their first international concert soon. After the band leaves the concert hall, they will be going to the airport, and the next part of the rp will probably take place in the plane on the way there, etc.

I think I might go make the first post now, myself - just to get the ball rolling, and then I'll pm everyone to let them know, "Hey, the roleplay is open!" ^_^

[flightoftheunicorn]

*runs with scissors, cuts the opening ribbon* The roleplay is open, and the first few posts have been made! xd :

/flails about

I've decided.. I might join. o3o It's too late to be making decisions.

If I do, it'll be as a Half-Vampire - Vampire Hunter.

Oh yes, dastardly, I know! /gasp of shock and horror

;D But. As I can hardly keep my eyes open and my brain has turned off, I'll wait until tomorrow (or, technically, later today @_@) to explore this further.

[flightoftheunicorn]

*tackles you* It's you! = ) I'm so glad that you're interested, it would be so fun being in two different roleplays with you, my friend. ^_- Ironically, as vampires (or quasi vampires) in both! We have one vampire hunter who is full human, so if you join, you might be working separately from him, but more hunters equals more danger, equals more plot! ^_^ *hugs* You are awesome! I am barely refraining from jumping all over you and licking your face like a puppy dog, here, but I think I can stop myself *tries* There, just barely. ^_- heart heart heart *laughs*

[flightoftheunicorn]

Haha! I made an Anja avi, but there are no shirts like what I described. As long as her clothes are kind of arty and eccentric, it will be Anja. I couldn't find braided hair in the proper dark red-brown to auburn shade, or a grungy camo fisherman's hat - the sort she'd normally be hiding her gorgeous hair under ... xp

The cool thing is, in my other roleplay, when Ellie (roleplay character in my time travel roleplay heart ) travels through time to ancient Egypt I can just put the Egyptian wig on without having to replace this hair (for awhile). This eye style is super cheap, so I can go back and forth between blue eyes and brown eyes every couple days.

For some reason, I like to dress my avis up like my roleplay characters - I guess it helps me to get in the writing mood or something? It's fun. ^_^ I love Ellie and Anja. Ellie is brave and confidant (the kind of person I wish I was), and Anja is shy (I used to be as shy as she is and sometimes still am.)

I'm highly disatisfied with the avi vampire fangs I've found so far - they look too silly and cartoony - I want something more serious and kind of sexy-ish.

The reason I am typing here now instead of sleeping like I should be when I am going to apply for a graphic design job tomorrow is because I woke up from nightmares so awful that I'm afraid to go back to sleep ... ghost scare me, or was it vampires that were ghostly in my nightmares? I'm forgetting now ... I think it was ghosts. I was screaming in that nightmare ... I wonder if I was making any noise in my sleep? Probably, as I was told by other girls at sleepovers when I was growing up that I talk in my sleep sometimes ... I probably shouldn't have read a page or two out of Dracula before going to sleep. Dracula scares me - a truly frightening vampire. I used to be terrified of vampires, growing up - now I just kinda dig them, in some sort of way. I think it's the immortality aspect. Sheesh, even though I need to try to sleep for at least another 2 hours ... and I was so scared in my sleep, I find myself wanting to read more Dracula. How silly is that? xp It was just getting really scary and exciting where I left off, and I know it turns out okay in the end because I've read it before. I'm telling you, when you wake up from the kind of nightmares I was having, every little creak of the floor and walls seems terrifiying - why aren't the floor and walls creaking now that the lights are on? That freaks me out ... Why am I sometimes scared of ghosts in my sleep? I think if I saw one in real life, I'd be too fascinated to be truly scared. I think if there were such a thing as vampires and I saw one in real life, I would be a lot more scared of a vampire than a ghost. Stupid nightmares. *punches them* I am fearless! Buahaha! *laughs uncertainly* I don't want to turn off the light ... I wonder if I can fall asleep with the light on? Probably not ... Sheesh, how old am I?! Five?! But in my sleep, I just couldn't get away from it/them ... *shudders* Blarg ... I will be fine, but sleep attempts tonight will be with lights on ... 3 hour bus ride (one way) to Tustin on 30 minutes of terrified sleep after trying and trying for forever to fall asleep in the first place ... when there might be a job interview after I apply - I am screwed. I can picture my head drooping on the bus now ... *sighs* I hate life, sometimes. Fudgin' stupid inconvenient nightmares and creaks in the night! *sticks out tongue at them*

8D OMG. /feels so loved

Well, I haven't actually seen the movie or anything, but I've read a lot about Blade. And how he became a half-vampire and a hunter, etc. etc. and all that good stuff and I've been forming a character in my head.

Hmm... Is the other Vampire hunter male? Because I was thinking at trying my hand at a female. *GASP!*
:K /evil laugh

[flightoftheunicorn]

Yes, the other vampire hunter is a male character. smile I look forward to seeing your female character in action! I am trying to stretch myself a bit with this rp, too, playing a female backup guitarist/singer who is an *irritable female dog*

*laughs* She's evil and seductive, but actually not really all that awful, as she's really more of a broken soul than anything else. But, she's kinda witchy (though with some goodness still left in her) which is fun for me to play - never (successfully) played that kind of character before, so it will be really interesting. ^_-

[Queen Lapinova]

Me too. : D


...


D ;


I'm too full right now.

[flightoftheunicorn]

I can't wait to see how this is going to develop! ^_^ Oh ... please, please more posts soon ... I want more to read ... and, yes, I look forward to being able to post again soon, but I want more to read! I'm so excited about the rp! *runs in circles yapping and chasing tail* I can't stand the wait! I want catnip now! Writing is my catnip. Now, I'm mixing up dogs and cats in my animal analogies. >.< ... Oh wow, I probably sound really annoying. I drank too much soda and I'm all antsy. I don't want to sleep tonight. No more ghosts and things! sad

[flightoftheunicorn]

What did you eat?

By the way, we need to recruit for a bassist tonight, so I might go post in the thread that is for specific recruiting needs in a minute or two.

How are you tonight?

[flightoftheunicorn]

Oh, I've got to do Egypt research tonight too - the builder of the Great Pyramids. This should be fun. ^_^ (I'll be doing both simultaneously, while listening to songs by The Rasmus, alternating with Egyptian music.)
