Forums » The Lobby » Plotting the Ballet Club

So, when I made the group, I didn't really have an overarching plot in mind. I figured, slice of life, and stuff. Here, though, we can plan events for the group and maybe even develop a storyline for it. Just brainstorm and pass ideas by the others, see what they say.
I thought, since the roleplay is basically set in a run-down dance studio, that

1. the building could face eventual demolition

2. others would want to occupy the place / the dancers would face some drama trying to keep it for themselves

Those both sound like good ideas. Building off the "run-down" aspect, here's another idea: As I mention in the description, the building's insulation is outdated and the electrical stuff nonexistent. So, during a particularly harsh winter or summer, dancing isn't exactly "comfortable" anymore. That is, they have trouble staying warm or cool when dancing. So, they have to improvise. Somehow.
Does magic exist in this setting? Because the twins and Jude are witches. Magic fire for warmth? Magically created breezes in The summer?

I'm . . . a little divided on allowing magic. It has the potential to trivialize what would otherwise be a very real issue.
Cold and rigid limbs can be broken or sprained if enough pressure is put on them so that's one thing.

There are a lot of directions other than the mundane that we can lead this roleplay in. Magic-related, even combat-related (I'm not sure why I have the vision of ballerinas using their flexibility, speed and agility to kick butt).

A ballerina with fight training would probably be the weirdest thing to come out of this.

Are we all witches that dance ballet or something? :') Hello, i'm new to the group :)

@Wolfsbane706 would you still want me to send you the application info?
Aww man! Double post. Sorry, still new to these group chat things.

I'd prefer that magic be kept out of the RP. Also, yes, kindly send in filled out applications via PMs. I seem to have missed something again.

PM was sent. I don't mind wether or not the RP is mundane, so it's fine by me :)
I'm good with mundane too. It was more of a passing question - I'll get those applications to you for both Jude and Valerie.

but back on track with the plotting..... XD
What would you like happen with this group wolfsbane?

Didn't see this one, sorry. What I would like is sort of realism mixed with a little pseudo-realism, I guess? I'd like to keep the RP as a whole grounded in reality, but generally middling in tone (I have no idea what exactly I'm saying and I think neither do you).
