Behind the counter a waitress pours coffee
Her smile is as warm as this Waffle House
She speaks in tongues
and smacks her gum
She says 'Boys, I'd rather be somewhere else'
The cook wipes his hands on a dirty brown apron
Composes his head with a pocket comb
And the stale smoke still hangs in the air
From a stampede of drunks who've all gone home
We break down the stage and carve our name into another night
I could say more than this postcard gives me room to write
Greetings from the verge of daylight
The truckers sit, sipping their sleep away
Getting ready for the long haul
As we stare at the menus that never change
Clay orders his usual
We break down the stage and carve our name into another night
I could say more than this postcard gives me room to write
Greetings from the verge of daylight
She starts to wipe tables, he starts the stove
and the both fade into the unseen
And the fluorescent moon that hangs above us
Becomes the light by which we all dream... (and we dream)
We break down the stage and carve our name into another night
I could say more than this postcard gives me room to write
Greetings from the verge of daylight
The verge of daylight
Waffle House Homecoming by the Josh Joplin Band

Georgia! The Peach State, Empire State of the South!

Quiz: What fantastic company came from Georgia? (Avondale Estates, Georgia to be exact)

Yeah! Coke... that came from Atlanta... think of a different one...

That's right!

The Waffle House.

Have you ever been to Atlanta? Because Waffle Houses are everywhere! If you're a kid who lives in Atlanta, you HAVE to eat at Waffle House at least once. Its part of the experience of growing up there.

You walk in... in front of you in a jukebox and next to it is a newspaper tray, but you can't see that yet. A little further are a few booths. To your right is the counter, there's a booth by that too, along with a line of chairs. You turn and look at the counter, and to your left are more chairs and booths, then a hallway that leads to the bathroom.

This is where our friends spent their Saturday nights.

They all lived near the Waffle House, and consequently each other. It was a friendship of convenience, because they could meet up there and then head out. But it grew to so much more than that.

They became true friends, and some even fell in love with one of the others. It couldn't last though...

They were all going off to different colleges, different lives, different cities. One girl stayed behind through the year they were gone.

The next summer they came back. But to the girl they were completely different people.

This is where our story begins kids.

The Artist: You do know that Georgia has cranked out plenty of good artists right? Well this little Missy is one of them! She went to a fantastic art school in Boston! Her family's rich, so she lived the furthest away from the Waffle House, but not far enough to escape the lure of the big yellow sign. So she went there a lot, and ran into the others.

The Musician: REM, Josh Joplin Group, The B-52s all came from Georgia! This boy is on his way up too. He's just come back from good ol' California, all tanned and nice. He lived right next to the Waffle House, so he walked there nearly every day. Sometimes he'd bring his guitar along and play for the employees and customers.

The Politician: He's a smart guy. He plans on being president one day, and some people think he might just succeed. He's just come back from Harvard and he isn't less good looking. He's charming, he's sneaky, and he lived down the street from the Waffle House. His family was wealthy like the Artist's and he always took the group's checks.

The Southern Belle: She's the sweet one. She's the pretty southern girl who's smarter than she looks... and acts. Her father runs the Waffle House, and she lives right across the street from it. She works part time there as a waitress, and went to college in Atlanta. She hasn't changed in the year that the group has been separated, so how will she react when the people come back with a whole new pack of ideas and plans for their lives?

Fill this out! Bold and color as yah please ^.^
Hey y'all, my name is (name)
And I'm (age, preferably 19-20)
Oh, like the nametag? It says (Role)
My life? Well... (bio)
It's made me (personality)
Any friends that I liked? (crush)
And a picture? Sure! Here.
(pic)


Hey y'all, my name is Charline 'Charlie' Johnson
And I'm 19 years old.
Oh, like the nametag? It says the Southern Belle
My life? Well... my life has been pretty nice. I've grown up in a nice happy family of five, and I help out of my dad's Waffle House. My brother's the cook, and my baby sister doesn't have a job there yet. She's only thirteen. I worked there most Saturdays, so I didn't go to many parties. But there were other kids like me who didn't go, although it probably wasn't because of their jobs, because they were at a Waffle House! They came at different times, but eventually they came at the same times. It was weird, because we all started talking. My dad hired another girl, and I was allowed more breaks. So I talked to the kids. It was really fun! But last year they went away, and I'm stuck here going to college and working at my dad's Waffle House...
It's made me outgoing. I make friends easily, and I have the best smile south of the Mason-Dixie Line! I can cook really well, and I make the best grits y'all have ever tasted! I'd rather eat here than at one of those fancy restaurants. My boyfriend, Dave, doesn't seen to understand this, because he takes me out all the time! The Melting Pot, J Christophers, it gets annoying having to dress up every Friday night just for him.
Any friends that I liked? Well... I did have a crush on the Musician for a while, but I'm dating someone else.
And a picture? Sure! Here. Not my best, just me hanging out at The Musician's place.

Hey y'all, my name is Abigail 'Abby' Jettisons
And I'm 19
Oh, like the nametag? It says The Artist
My life? Well... Right after high school I went to Boston to major in the arts. In Boston it was very hard to find a Waffle House. When I did, it wasn't the same. My old friends weren't there. My father said that I could go to any school I wanted so I did. The hardest part was leaving. I missed my friends but I did make a lot of new ones. My roommate is the craziest person I have ever met. I guess she was one of the reasons why I had changed some much. In high school, I was a little shy and didn't like to really talk to anyone. All I cared about was drawing. The only people I really did talk to was the friends I had made at the Waffle house.
It's made me be myself in front of people. From where I used to hide myself from strangers to now where I greet everyone with a big hello and show them who I really am. At college I've learned how to pick out my inspiration even faster then I used to. It's made me look at things in a whole different perspective. To me, I think my change is good but to the others……who knows.
Any friends that I liked? The Politician. In college I dated a few guys but always thought of him. I remember him as being sweet, kind and considerate to others. One day he will be president and I will be the one of the many voters to vote for him because he deserves it.
And a picture? Sure! Here. My roommate is a major in photography and she wanted to use me as her first test subject because she really liked my hair.

Hey y'all, my name is Matt Vortage
And I'm 19
Oh, like the nametag? It says Musician
My life? Well... Hasn’t been the greatest, I never got to take my music scholarship, because it was only half covered, and see my stupid little brother needed braces. So I got stuck running around trying to find places to play and possible get signed with my band ‘Suicidal Rose’. So I ended up in California, getting some lame tan and getting nothing done all summer. How that happened, well see I was driving the tour bus when the van broke down…And then the guy’s got so overwhelmed and upset that they kind of quit… So I’m back in Georgia, at the waffle house..
It's made me Well Matt's bitter sweet he'll kill you instantly if you get on his bad side... He got his wall built high and he is kind of shy..And believe we all live to die...He wrote song for you to give you somethin ta do.. And show his cold intesne creative personality..He's just the guy, who will be the first to die, just the guy to be the first to die.
Any friends that I liked? Charlie.
And a picture? Sure! Here.

Hey y'all, my name is Tobias (Toby) O'Brien
And I'm 20
Oh, like the nametag? It says the Politician
My life? Well... It's been a wild ride. I'm busy as hell with college, didn't spend my time partying (like some people I know). My parents raised me with money, I grew up living the good life. Can't cook worth crap, I haven't had a girlfriend in for EVER, but... Well, I can't wait for another fifteen years. Then, I'll be prez, and you all will be answering to me. Didn't work much through college, Mom and Dad kindly covered all the expenses... Just for their little bugger of a politician, I suppose.... But I can't say I've got a problem with it. I like being loudmouthed. Would you believe I grew up as the quiet, insignificant one? Lots has changed since then, that's for sure. CHECK OUT MY TAN!
It's made me cocky, but intelligent. I'll have a battle of wits with you, prove you wrong, AND win a debate, all at the same time.
Any friends that I liked? I always like our little Artist. But she'd never love a fella like me.
And a picture? Sure! Here.

o1. I'm God! Obey or feel my wrath!

o2. Be semi-literate to literate! Don't forget to use capitalization and periods, question marks, and exclamation points! Literacy has nothing to do with post length and everything to do with grammar. Here, it's passable spelling, and me being able to understand what the hell you just wrote. No chat or l33t, though. At all.

o3. Don't use *...* or -...- for actions!! And use "..." when speaking.

o4. Use (), (()), [] or something like that for when speaking OOC. Like, ((OOC<))

o5. Do not post unless accepted by me! Get it, got it, good.

o6. If you don't know what grits are, go look it up. Please don't ask what they are in the middle of the RP!

o7. Don't write in bright, bright colors like yellow. And don't write in pale colors like linen. Ick. You can colour your posts, just don't make them so blinding they glow.

o8. There is a specific way to write your profile. First person.

o9. PM the profile. Highlight the post.

1o. Don't join if you're not going to Rp. Or at least tell me if you're gonna be away so we can work it into the plot.

11. This is going to be Long Term so, post at least every two days otherwise I'll PM you and if you don't PM me back within 3 days, then I will delete your profile.

12. Girls can play guys, guys can play girls, whatever.

13. Y'all follow the ToS and guild rules, dammit. I don't want to kick you out, I don't want to be kicked out, and i don't want any banning taking place.

14. Don't post your pictures with every post. If I forget what your character looks like I'll go look at the menu. It has pictures of all the nice foods on it.

15 Pictures are to be real life people. Yes, all of them. Because I said so. I don't care if they're celebs, but they have to be of an actual person.

16. Please don't post unless you are a part of the roleplay. I hate it when random people come in and are all 'Ha! b***h, I sooo posted! Muahahahahaha!..... gold?'. If you're one of those people, then go die.

17. PM titles: Put 'Diet Coke' for reservations and 'Cherry Coke' for profiles

((yes, these rules are borrowed from nEOROTIC_nARCOTik))

Charlie was sitting on the jukebox. The jukebox had been broken forever, but no one had thought to fix it. She whistled softly, looking up. There was never anything to do on breaks anymore. She didn't feel like eating waffles right now, she didn't even want hash browns!
She sighed, then looked up as her brother, Perry, came over.
"I'm fixing it." He proclaimed. "So get off before you break it even more."
Charlie slid off, then watched as Perry got down to open the front panel. He handed her the quarter box, which was full from people ignoring the 'out of order' sign.
Charlie took over for Perry as cook. There wasn't much business so it was easy going. She kept her charming smile on as she served the customers.

The old sign with one letter missing made Abby's heart stop. Just by the sight of the outside made Abby think of old memories.

Nothings changed. She thought. Carefully, she walked in and took in all the details. Everything was right where she left it. The red booths now a little faded with age. Then she saw it. The jukebox.

How could something so old seem so beautiful? Abby thought to herself. She didn't realize how much she really missed it until she saw the old thing. She noticed someone sitting by the window who looked oddly familiar. At first she hesitated.

"Charlie?" She asked.

Charlie looked back at her old friend. "Abby!" she exclaimed, running over to her friend. She threw her arms around the girl, holding her tight. "You're back!"
PostPosted: Mon Jun 30, 2008 8:47 pm


Abby embraced her best friend. "I've missed you. How have you been?" She asked. As Abby looked around, she felt more at home. Life in college was nothing compared to life in the Waffle House. She missed it and didn't no she would until she actually left.

"Oh, same old same old," Charlie replied, pulling away. "Wow, look at you!"

Abby sighed. "Yeah, my roommate gave me a make over." She shrugged. "Is it ok?"

"Its fantastic!" she put her hands on her hips, examining her friend. "Wow, little Abby, all grown up."
PostPosted: Mon Jun 30, 2008 8:58 pm


Abby stuck her tongue out. "Yay, yay, yay. It's a big day for everyone." She folded her arms. "Can I please have something to eat? I have been dying for Waffle House food."

"Perry! Abby's usual!" Charlie yelled, cupping her hands around her mouth.
Perry crawled out from under the jukebox. "In a mo, put on some music."
Charlie put a couple quarters in, switching on one of the newer songs.

Tobi sprang in, throwing his arms around Abby.
