Hey! So, I've been afk for a while and would really like something small to get back into the swing of things. Not much is to be expected as this might just turn out to be a temporary thing but a little commitment would go a long ways. I'm down for anything you throw my way; I'll work with whatever you have. Honestly, I prefer something with a flare of sci-fi thrown in but it's whatever.
PM or post here, just tell me your thoughts.

This is me being impatient. xp Just fyi, I'm a bit of a serious rper. Meaning that I don't put a whole lot of humor into my posts. Also, if I'm really into something, I usually take forever on replying. That's all, carry on. haha.

Hello! I'd love to roleplay with you ^^ Based on what you said, what about something like a group of high schoolers who somehow get powers? Or something like Maximum Ride, where some teens who were raised in a lab have escaped and have to try to survive? Those are just the first two things I thought of, so I know there kinda overdone and basic . Are there any plots you already had in mind?

I had a crazy idea of having a 'bored higher power' sort of thing deciding to just toss some people back about 500 years

That sounds fine! Things are normally cliche for a reason. Just going off of your ideas and something I watched recently, what if we did something about a pair of supernaturals being abducted and raised in a lab. I was thinking angels, maybe? They escaped and have to evade their captors all while trying to survive in the real world. Side note because now I'm running with the idea ( xp ) but what if they live longer than your typical human. They've been in captivity for decades and have to not only adapt to their own liberation but a totally brand new world. And instead of having a group or pair escape maybe someone else totally human frees them.
EDIT: I just now saw Shiokaze's post and I really love the idea! I'd settle more for this one if you're down with that, Brindleface.

That's totally fine, Beautiful People. (; Honestly, some humor might help. Sometimes I'm a bit too serious.
The 500 years one seems like it could go anywhere. After a time and just when they start feeling comfortable in their new age, maybe they're thrown into another, one in the far future or something alike. I don't know, I'm just really loving the idea of a higher power poking fun by screwing with a person's time.
So this'll be a small group thing? Did you guys just want to post some names and jump in? I know we've got to decide on time and location. Any preferences?

Not at all, Blue Blood! Jump on in.
Woo, alright. I've a guy named Ben and a gal named Sophia or Soph in short. I'm up for whatever time period. I've never really done a historical plot before so if you've all got a time, I'd love to hear it.

(You have my suggestion of in the past 500 or so years I do also like the idea of the bored higher power just continually messing with them and tossing them in different times when they get bored. Forgot to say, sorry xD)

Bah. Of course. After some looking, it looks like the European colonization of the Americas would have been a thing? What if our charries are thrown aboard a ship sailing toward one of these brand new colonies and are assumed stowaways? Drama ensues and they've all got to cope.
Also, brb, dinner!

(lol hey I'm lurking, might try to jump in if you all want one more person? I enjoy that time period so it would be cool. I would be fine either playing one of the people tossed back in time, or possibly a person who's actually native to that time period if that would be better.
Also on a side note, [sorry to advertise but it was mentioned so it's kinda relevant?] I just started up a roleplay called Bunker 6 that's a somewhat futuristic dystopian sci-fi rp, similar to the one about the supernaturals being raised in a lab. The characters aren't supernatural, but they ARE genetically engineered [so some of them look kinda weird], fitted with mechanical "enhancements," and raised practically from birth in a lab. AND my intention was to possibly have some or all of them escape later. If any of you are interested in something like that )

Jumping in as either would be totally fine! Having a mixture of those thrown back and those born in that time period might be beneficial, though. I might even have one of my peeps be a colonial.
I actually saw that a few minutes ago. I'm reading over it all now! I'm just taking forever. xp

Benjamin "Ben" Reynolds - male - colonial Sophia "Soph" Martian - female - thrown back
Also, I don't really have any faceclaims but I can post a couple pics if you guys want reference.
Sorry for disappearing on you all.
Sophia ||
Chloe's sweet smile was a quiet surprise nearly hidden as she ducked her head to the side. In the four months Sophia had known her, she'd only seen it twice, once upon their meeting and now. It was a reward rarely gifted to just any stranger. She'd not known this at first but it was becoming all too obvious in their time together. It was a subtle gesture, fleeting but notable. Offering her own smile in return, Sophia lowered her gaze to her cup of coffee. Its warmth pressed into her skin as she took another sip, watching as a swirl of creamer bubbled at the brim.
And like that, she was gone. The booth she sat at became cool wood pressed to her back, the shrill chime of two dishes colliding became a crash of untamed water, and Chloe's shy face become nothing but an image seared into her memory. One second she was well and awake, enjoying a casual breakfast with one of her more closer friends, and the next she was slowly coming to in a dimly lit room. The transition had been so quick that every reaction she had in consequence seemed delayed. Jolting up into a sitting position, Sophia blinked several times, blind as her eyes adjusted to the lower lighting. Her heart started to pound, its thud becoming more intense by the second as she realized she'd no idea where she sat.
Her dark, floral flannel felt damp and her short crop of ginger hair clung to her skin in a nervous sweat. Everything about this felt so entirely uncomfortable. She found solace in nothing as her heart pounded against her chest and her mind raced to find answers. "Hello?" Her voice was nothing but a hissed whisper, her confidence hindered by an overwhelming sense of dread. The wall behind her curved and she found herself moving up it to stand. Another crash and a tilt of the floor sent her stumbling forward onto her hands and knees. Whimpering, she stared into the darkness and waited for a reply.

Oliver sat at a desk, some boring job that was just to get him through till he could finally do something he actually wanted to do. He glanced outside, the scent of the nearby sea drifted through the open window and into the office. There was a small chatter as no one had realized that someone had opened the window in the first place. The office itself wasn't the typical 'cubicle where everyone is cut off from each other' style. It was very open and Oliver could clearly see the faces of all his co-workers. The couple who had been clearly dating for months no matter how hard they tried-to the point Oliver just begged for them to finally announce the fact, the loner who gladly took his desk as far into the corner as possible, and his personal favorite, the one who always brought home meals to share. He really couldn't wait for his savings to grow to get out of here, no matter how interesting the people at his job were. The next feeling was one that he could only guess it was a picture felt like when it was cut from somewhere. Being ripped from his current location, and then the feeling of being dragged. It felt like his body desperately wanted to hang on to the spot he was at, but had no choice in the matter. He only had time to wonder when the 'pasting' part of all of this would happen when his nose was all but assaulted by the smell of the ocean. His first thought was 'oh I am in the sea' but the hard wood below him made him reassess his assumption. A faint hello came from just across the area, it was to dark to see but he could tell it was female and it sounded like she almost didn't want to be heard. "Who's there?" He hushed back, hoping the sound would carry over to the other voice.

( sorry, i was waiting to see if anyone else would reply as well. )
Sophia ||
Staring into the darkness with wide eyes, Sophia wasn't sure how to react if someone actually answered her. While part of her might find relief in that she wasn't alone, the other found fear for the same reason. Her dread was rooted in logic, that some psychopath must have kidnapped her sometime during the night, her visit with Chloe a good dream. That or maybe she was reliving some suppressed memory of being locked tight behind her closest door as a storm raged outside. Either way, the outcome was unpredictable.
The voice that answered her was almost drowned as another crash shook the floor she knelt on. Lowering her head to her hands, she whimpered again, scared beyond belief. "Sophia," she replied, her voice cracking and shrill. Sniffing, she sat up again, pressing her hands against her thighs and she inhaled a breath of confidence. "And you?" She wasn't sure what else to respond with, her mind totally blank as her bodied seized. Her chest hurt and a chill swept down her spine. "Where am I?"

(I'll jump in with my native as soon as I figure out the exact time and setting and what nationality I want to make my character lol. Honestly I'd love to do Norse but I'm not sure if that would work with the time period, so I may go with German or Russian instead. Maybe German/English or Russian/English. Could go Irish or Scottish though too, those are both good options. So many choices. Idk, I'll just see what goes best with the setting.)

Oliver could feel the knock on his skull from the wall behind him suddenly coming forward. He had been unaware previously that it existed behind him, so knowing was a plus. He scooted himself away from that wall, hoping the next time whatever they were on decided to move like that, he wouldn't get knocked upside the head with it. He let out a breath of relief the moment he heard the voice reply, almost to the point where he was certain he had imagined the sounds himself. "Oliver" He replied, rubbing the back of his head and on the slightly sore spot. There was already a small bump forming where he was checking. "I was hoping you knew" He personally had no idea, one moment he was enjoying another day at work-though he hadn't realized he was enjoying it at the time- and the next he was no longer there. He almost missed catching the couple in the act of being all lovey dovey and acting all embarrassed when he caught them. "I only know there is an ocean somewhere around here...well everywhere" He felt the ground underneath him rock a couple more times, his stomach churning from being rocked back and forth. He about asked if this was a boat when another crash and a sudden jerk sent Oliver tumbling forward and on his face.
