1. Background

The Royal Charlston Hotel sits on the sea-front of a popular provincial tourist town. Business was never as good at the Charlston as it was at any other hotel in the resort, probably because of the rumour that once you check in, you may check out rather sooner than expected and in a rather more permanent way.

However, somewhere was needed to take the overspill from the other hotels at the height of the season, and most unusually, right now the Royal Charlston is nearly full.

On the surfact, the hotel was exceptionally pleasant - it certainly didn't appear to be the Bates' Motel! Thirty good sized twin and double rooms, all en-suite, and eight comfortable family rooms. Only Room 8 was never occupied. No-one ever worked out why.....

There's a Housekeeper who cleans the rooms every day; room service is available directly from Chef and the Manager also doubles as the receptionist.

There's a true mix of people staying at the moment - an elderly couple, a loner, a young family, a travelling business man, the secretive couple having an affair and anyone else you care to think of.... the usual cliches.

2. Rules

It's literate, so that means at least three lines per post, preferably a whole paragraph or more, certainly in full sentences with punctuation. If you get writer's block, take a break and come back when you've got something to help the story advance. You can pop in and out of this roleplay as often as you wish as long as you remain on the whitelist - we've all got work or school or other things that occupy our time so you won't get penalised for not posting for a few days.

No God-modding.

In the Profile section marked B: enter either Boxers or Briefs to show you've read the rules. Also title your PM with "CHECK OUT"

No Cyber - I mean it! I know there's room for a couple having an affair, but let it start with a kiss and draw a curtain over the rest of it. Keep it PG-13.

Post in colour please; it helps to distinguish where the action is.

Violence and killing is allowed, maybe even encouraged. Killing should be with the other person's permission - but it doesn't mean they are out of the RP. This is a murder mystery RP and ghosts can add to the suspense (Just don't go telling us whodunnit!) The same goes with swearing - a little reasonable amount is allowed, but not every other word.

OOC should be enclosed in (()); talking must be in ""; thinking in italics.

Most important of all - HAVE FUN!

3. Checked Out (The Blacklist)

If you're on here, you've had more than enough warnings and you will not be allowed to play any more. Let's keep this post empty, shall we?

Momoko flicked her long brown hair over her shoulder and looked around. A small smiled played across her lips as she tightened her hold on the hilt of her sword. She took in the lobby silently, from the check-in desk to the faded old chairs. She slowly walked over to the chairs and ran a finger along the back of one of them. She closed her eyes, and her smile grew broader. "Ah yes... I can see that this will be a very interesting stay!" She stayed completely still and silent, meditating.

After a moment, her eyes snapped open, and she moved over to the check-in desk, ringing the bell. She stood, waiting for the receptionist to come, drumming her fingers on the counter. "I wonder..." she whispered to herself. "I wonder..."
