The Other Side (The gates are open, new residents welcome)

[QuiteProbablyInsane]

The grass isn't always greener on the Other side....


People aren't always what they seem to be. There could be a whole other side to them you never even knew about.
There are things you couldn't even imagine, living among you. Creatures you thought a myth? Things you thought only existed in fairytales.... Or nightmares. What really lies on the Other side?

The new housing developement is finally complete. All sorts of new faces arrive, moving in to their newly built homes. It all seems normal, and a great chance to socialise. But are your neighbours really who they say they are? Ever noticed how things just seem...Wrong? And why is the guy across the street so hairy? What lies ahead in the future for you as you move into the Hollows Estate?
*******************************************************************************
This RP is based in a new town, but things arent right here... Some crazy guy has been ranting about "Creatures of the night!! Demons!! EEEVIILL!!!" Could he be right?

I dunno, but a fresh start is just what I need, how 'bout you? You on your own? Got family? Know anyone starting at St. Hallow? You know--that big creepy school? The place that looks kinda medieval? Or what that big old castle is... Does someone live there?

RESIDENTS

MURDOCLUVR
Name: Mys Chance
Age: 17
Background: I was emancipated at 14, and lived with my band (I'm the bassist) up until a couple weeks ago. We had an argument and broke up. The stupid, little, anorexic b***h singer kept the house and the rest of us had to pack up and leave.
Description: About 5'6" , my hair is dyed hot pink, and my eyes change color. I like wearing things that stand out. Like neon green combat boots and a purple fedora with a bright red tie.
Which house do you live in?: I live in one of the smaller houses, two rooms with my drummer, Jez. The house is kind of empty, we spent all our money moving into the place, we didn't have much stuff left after that.
Species: Human, but with some-er, abnormalities.

Name:Jez
Age: Ageless
Background: I'm a demoness masquerading as a human being. My sweet young bassist has no idea, and I don't plan to tell her anytime soon.
Description: However I want, but the current look is red hair, almost purple blue eyes, and I'm about 5'8". My usual outfit is black leather short shorts, and belts and straps all over the rest of my legs with a leather zip up top, and plenty of cleavage.
Species: Demon
-------------------------------
SINIESTRA
Name: Comrade Folly (AKA Folly Sokolov)
Age: Look to be about 24
Background: I lived with my parents in Russia until the age of 16, when my parents disappeared. Being told this might happen, I took everything of importance and fled to America, where I met my long lost grandfather, who hadn’t aged a day since he was 27 and discovered why I have my strange abilities. After finally figuring out what I really was, I found myself in the house I is now, making my money doing… odd jobs shall we say.
Description: I’m 5'2" with short brunette hair with electric blue streaks through it and my eyes are blue gray that turns gold towards the pupil. For clothing, I wear a lot of tshirts, fingerless gloves, and shorts no matter what the weather along with my very old leather knee high combat boots, silver aviators sunglasses, huge red scarf, and WWII german helmet. I never leave home without my umbrella, which is rainbow.
Which house do you live in?: I live in the small, bright pink house. Everything in it is antique, but functional. Even my computer looks like it was built in the industrial age, with type writer keys and brass finish. Don’t be fooled though! The doesn’t make me old fashioned!
Species: Super human

Age: Mid Twenties

JIN THE SHADOW WOLF
Name: Hien Manulit

Background: Hien claims that his past isn't too special to bring up anything in particular about. It seems that he has no family, despite being rather outgoing and very carefree in his ways.
Description: For the most part, people say he looks like a typical Filipino: short in stature, scrawny, and having the characteristically narrow eyes. His skin is a dark brown, and he's a bit muscular. He stands at 5' 2", with short messy hair and deep red eyes. He also has a pair of wolf ears on his head, which he usually keeps hidden under a black and gray-striped beanie. Other than the beanie, he's always wearing a smile, and sweatshirt over his pants to keep his furry black tail out of sight.
Which house do you live in?: Hien lives in a duplex, staying in one of the rooms on the right side of the structure, but owning the whole place. It has tan walls outside, black shutters over the windows, and an upper level with the outer walls covered in paint from Hien standing out there on the roof with buckets of paint and a bunch of paintbrushes.
Species: He's a rare species known as a Shadow Wolf. As the name implies, he is a wolf that harnesses the ability to manipulate shadows. He chooses to use his "human" form more than his true wolf form.

[oO Lorelei Oo]

*She gets out of the truck seeing the house she had wanted since beginning her job at the garden shop. Smiling a little before going to the back of the moving truck and opening it up. She had this home effectively for some time but it wasn't until recently that she was able to safely move her things from where they were. She looked about a moment sighing contently at the boxes and furniture before moving out of the way of some men picking up her couch. She picked up one of the boxes she had asked the moving people not to handle and began making her way in. She had just enough people to be working in three rooms at a time, placing boxes and furniture to the layout sheets she had made and given them of what was to go where. She made her way to the room at the top, which she supposed other's would use as an attic and put the box she was carrying down to one side. She moved to one of the windows and viewed the movers and the truck below. Soon they would be finished moving, and then she could get to her full unpacking. When the movers had everything unloaded she paid them and watched as they set off from her home for their next jobs or what not. She looked to her living room and found one box she had asked stay close to the door and pulled one of her books from it.* All right things, time for unpacking. *She read a page from her book and after a moment her belongings seemed to unpack themselves. Nothing flashy of course, but simple enough that they would move on their own. She would still take to some of the more delicate things though just to make sure. After some time she looked about, the spell done and her things in place. She moved to the green house she had made for her garden and began pouring the soil bags into the trows for the plants she intended to put in them. She looked to some knowing they were to be in special corners and out of the reach of smaller people. Once the first task was finished she began her work making sure everything went to it's place. She knew in a day or so the plants would fan out and look fuller. She would yawn finally at her days work and soon head to her room. She had work early in the morning at the garden flower shop.*

Mys came into the sad excuse for a living room, where Jez was watching the small 13" television, already done unpacking her things. Mys often wondered about her drummer friend, like, how did she finish unpacking so fast? Then for some reason when she looked at her, she would stop wondering, and her mind would move onto other things. "Hey, Jez, how about we check out the neighborhood? " she said, "We moved in here pretty fast after the argument, we should probably get a feel for where we'll be living." Mys bent down and took Jez's soda, drinking about half.
Jez looked annoyed about the soda, but didn't say anything about it. The truth was, she didn't care, she didn't need to eat or drink anything, except as a carefully calculated move used to deceive her roommate. "Why not? Lemme just get dressed all the way and we can leave." She stood up from the broken chair she sat in and walked into her room, her waist length red hair hanging freely. When she was in there she made the belts and straps she always wore on her legs appear, and she waited a decent interval of time before exiting back into the living room with her shoes in one hand.

*Cerise looked to her home after the morning work at the garden shop. She debated over which plants she wanted to add where in the front of her house before pulling them out of her car and dropping them off to the side of the pathway before the door. Then went back for the rest to put in her garden area. She would make a quick check on the ones she had planted the evening before making sure of the adjustment to the new flower beds before going to the front yard once more. She was thankful the day was nice enough to continue her work, outside of work. She knelt down with her tools and began working at the ground and planting some new groups of flocks knowing they would spread nicely on their own about her rock path to the front door. Ever now and then she would look around the neighborhood curious to see the possible activity of it.*  

[oO Lorelei Oo]

*Cerise looked around every now and then as she worked, Seeing some of the neighbors here and there. She would give polite smile should any look towards her before going back to her gardening. She heard a car and looked to her driveway, and knew it was one of her cousins. She sighed looking to the woman exiting the car and waving towards her. Her hat a big beach ht but in black, her dress covered all of her with a high collar, almost as if it had come out of the 1800's. Amile, one she wasn't crazy about but would greet her pleasantly.*

"Oh darling, same clothes from playing in the dirt again I see?"

"Still dressing in tradition I see, and yes, you know I enjoy gardening."

*She would motion for her inside where they could speak shop as she knew it was the only reason for her cousin's arrival.*  

[QuiteProbablyInsane]

The pink haired girl waited boredly for the drummer, before getting impatient and wandering out of the house without her. She'd catch up.
The neighbourhood was eerily quiet, despite all the other signs of life around, and of people moving into their new homes. In the distance a foreboding mansion could be seen, and a storm was approaching from the opposite direction. Mys gave a small smile, her eyes changing to reflect the distant clouds, grey with flecks of electric blue that matched the lightning. But the sun shone directly above, as if the storm were a world away.  

[oO Lorelei Oo]

*The visit with her sister had been thankfully brief. More shop talk about the family and their business then anything else. She smiled though when it was mentioned of the family's dislike of her move. But with a polite comment, equivalent to "This is my choice and it will cause less trouble". A short time later her cousin had gotten the idea that it was no longer a topic for discussion, and she wasn't going to be swayed to move back. She would wave lightly seeing the car pull away and went back to the solace of her gardening and stone placing. She did note however the storm over one of the homes. Curious as it was, she knew better then to meddle when she ought not to. She knew the chances were rare, given how uncommon witches had become, but being one meant it was more likely that she would be spying on another. Not something she would want to be caught for. So she would wait and abide her time, noticing now and the others of the neighborhood now out and about.*  

[QuiteProbablyInsane]

Mys looked boredly around. She had hoped she would get to meet some of the neighbours... She took off her purple fedora, twirling it around on one finger and walking down the street to the local park. It wasn't as if she had a lot of stuff to unpack--all she had was her bass guitar, a few changes of clothes, and a mattress on the floor. She would be living out of boxes until her or Jez could get a job...
"Hello?" she called randomly in a singsong voice. She hated being bored.  

[oO Lorelei Oo]

*Cerise smiled finally finishing her yard work. She stood dusting off her jeans and turned hearing another voice calling out. She looked to the girl a moment then waved a polite hello. She hadn't actually met anyone from her neighborhood yet and wondered what they were like, or even if she told them her little secret if they would start the pyre right away. She would wait to see if the other noticed her calling out a bit. she would stay where she was though until she was sure the other really did want to meet or not.* Hello There..
