It was summer when we met in Malibu. We were all from LA, but we didn’t know that at the time. Our conversations were never supposed to leave the beaches, leave the safety of our time-shared summer homes high on hills looking over the pale abyss. Nothing had to happen; nothing was supposed to happen. We weren’t friends, we were just there to keep each other company while our parents lounged in Tommy Bahama lounge chairs and sipped white wine and ate expensive cheese to their hearts’ desire. We weren’t friends; not yet. We didn’t even realize that we were friends until we had to leave, and we cried our eyes out. Then we vowed to speak again before the next summer came rolling in.
It was autumn when we became inseparable. Los Angeles is a big city, but that didn’t stop us. We got together at least once a week, if not more. We were so close, no one could stop that. We told each other everything and we never dreamed of having it any other way. We were happy. Content. Overjoyed. We fit like puzzle pieces. We were in love, but not romantically, as far as anyone could tell. We loved each other like brothers and sisters love each other. No, stronger—we loved each other the way best friends do.
Something happened in winter. Everything changed. We never grew apart. It wasn’t gradual, it was a snap. We just snapped. Our puzzle fell apart, we came apart. We broke. Everything broke. One day we were holding hands, reading each other’s minds, being kids, and doing it all together. But the next day, nothing was the same. Everything just ended, like nothing had begun in the first place. Most of us didn’t live close enough to run into each other, so it wasn’t awkward. Just quiet. Everything was quieter than it had been for the past sixth months—with every winter breeze, it felt like we were blowing away with the wind. We were nothing without each other—and spring was the same. We weren’t the people we were together. And now, it feels like we're still in winter. In fact, it feels like winter never left.
Now it’s summer again. We have new friends, new clothes, new lives. But on the beach, everything is the same as it was—except for us. Except for our friendship. Except for everything.

I have very high expectations for this roleplay. I'm probably not going to have many roles up for grabs, the reason being that I plan on making the character sheet very intricate. It will be very specific, and only people really dedicated to joining will be willing to complete all of the form. It's a great opportunity for character development as well, since the characters in this roleplay will be exposed to many different situations and problems.
Outside of character development, the writing style in this will be very detailed. I expect even more than your average detailed roleplay, so I guess you could call it a high detailed rp. I'll most likely expect 4+ paragraphs, each paragraph being at least 150 words (give or take a few). With this rp I really want to explore my skills in writing, and that's the main goal of this, so I hope everyone that joins gets the opportunity to open their minds to different situations in the world of writing.
A unique part of this roleplay will be that there will be two character sheets, in a way. There will be one traditional one, where you can use bbcode to your heart's extent, and then after I accept the roles there will be another. It will be in the format of a social media site, where characters will express themselves "online" like they would in real life. It will give characteres the opportunity to post images, textposts, and media, as well as see, like, and comment on other characters' profiles and talk to them via the social networking site. It's something I've been thinking of for a while, just as something fun, and let me know if it's a stupid idea or if you'd be interested--be honest. (I have an example, if you ask I'll show it to you)
