(Sure, sounds good to me! I'll shoot you a PM so we don't clog the page!
And I've been good! Just exhausted. I started working full time, and I'm also taking a couple online classes to strengthen my resume to find a better job, but overall pretty good! At least a stable income haha)

School was finally almost over for Swan Lassiter. After senior year, she wouldn't have to worry about classes, tests, or homework anymore. Although she didn't express it, she was rather excited for the prospect of being done. Unfortunately that was nearly a year away. For the time being she still had her studies to attend to.
Like the previous days before, the girl sat around for fifth period roll call. As the teacher went down the list, various students would answer the call of their names. She barely paid attention, only trying to listen for her name, which would be said wrong. It usually was.
"Swan Lannister," The teacher shouted. The girl raised her hand.
"It's Lassiter," she corrected. She was used to correcting people as they mispronounced her last name wrong all the time. The teacher gave a simple nod and scribbled something down on the sheet before continuing. Once roll call was finished, class began as normal. As it had been in previous years, the teacher just went over . Starting next week they would actually start to learn something. Until then, Swan would just tune everything out. If she could, she would've headed to the gym to help set up for the club fair. However she wasn't one of the leaders, therefore wasn't able to go. She tried all week to skip class for it, but Ms. Jackson was unrelenting in her choice.
For the next hour class droned on. Students held hush conversations while others scrawled notes in their journals. Swan just waited for class to end, constantly checking the clock for time. It felt like an eternity, but the bell eventually rang. The girl was the first out of her seat and out the door. She headed to the gym, guilt pecking at her chest for not being there to help Stevie. Swan forced the feeling down as she made her way to the gym.
By the time the girl reached the familiar double doors, students were already flocking in to see what clubs the school had to offer. Getting to the gym was easy enough. Finding the Cryptid Club booth was another thing all on its own. Swan scanned the area, but didn't see any familiar faces she had associated with the club. It was likely on the other side of the room, however she couldn't be sure. Briskly, the senior began to search around for Stevie and the booth.
The Cryptid Club was something Swan had joined in her sophomore year when her parents insisted she do more at the school. Of all the clubs they had to offer, she chose the one that was all about creatures of legend. Did she believe in the likes bigfoot or el chupacabra? No. However the world was full of unknowns and she believed there was certainly something out there that people had yet to fully discover. The Cryptid Club, as unusual as it was, offered a chance to talk about the unknown without anyone looking like freaks. At least within the group itself. Outside of that, many people considered them odd at best and crazy at worst.
After a few minutes of searching for Stevie and the club's booth, Swan finally spotted the junior. She waved over to her and approched.
"I apologize for being late. Got held up in class," she said. Pasuing briefly she glanced around and didn't see anyone else. "So are we it? Has anyone else showed up yet?"

(Omg that was the best way to correct me about the name amber. 10/10. I'll start a reply now!
You're fine sky, I just wanna keep on top of activity since that's what killed the rp the first time around!
Speaking of not wanting the rp to die I've been trying to think of ways to get more joiners/more activity. I was probably going to drop the word/literacy requirement down to 300 words per post, but I was also trying to think of other things? Like I was thinking about allowing people to claim multiple archetypes/major characters but idk. The whole point of the rp to me was to spend a bunch of time developing one character and their relationships, so I feel like that might take away from the whole vibe. I was also just gonna send a pm out to all the people who joined last time but I'm not sure if that would be seen as rude or not. Idk guys if you have any ideas feel free to share then with me.)

(Honestly I saw the mistake and thought it would be funny if everyone just got her last name wrong all the time. Not sure if anyone's seen Parks and Rec, but I imagine it's be like the Gary/Larry/Jarry/Terry situation.
Anyway I unfortunately don't have many ideas on how to advertise the roleplay. PMing people who previously joined might not be a bad idea. I don't think it'd be rude, but that's just me. Maybe if it comes to it after like a week you could open up the possibility of claiming another archetype?)

I personally like the 1 character idea, and the 300 words will probably be more friendly to new joiners. I wouldn't be too worried about activity considering we have a solid 5-6 people here which is a lot considering the activity level of the site these days. As long as we all stick around I think the activity will still be great.

S T E V I E
The Ruler
Barely five minutes into the club fair, Stevie was loosing her mind. Between the confused glances and the pitiful freshmen asking polite questions, she was totally out of her element. She was used to being the center of attention, sure, but there was a difference around being popular and being judged. Shuddering she slipped back into her over-sized hoodie, wishing that the school would allow her to wear one of her classic baseball hats.
She was directing some hapless kids to the debate club booth, when she spotted a familiar face in the crowds. Play it cool, play it cool, she thought as she jumped in the air, hands waving violently. Swan, she identified the girl quickly. Though the two of them never really talked outside of the club, Stevie at least knew the senior was nice. As Swan approached the booth, Stevie a knot of tension released itself.
"Nope, you're the first one," she replied, spreading her arms wide. The booth itself looked relatively empty despite the loose flyers and buttons. "Lucky you."
She bit her lip as she forced a smile across her face. You're supposed to be happy, so look happy. She knew that she should at least attempt a conversation with the senior, but something about the situation made the gym spin under her feet. She was actually club leader. She was actually doing this. A senior was looking to her for instruction- or at least hoping that she had even the basic skills needed to manage a club that could get as chaotic as the Cryptid Club.
When she swallowed her saliva tasted like blood. "So... have you been enjoying the Club Fair?" It was a simple question, but her tongue seemed to be coated in lead. "Did you get the time to stop at any of the other booths? I know the volleyball team was putting together a booth, but I haven't had the time to look around."
In her mild panic, Stevie realized that she really didn't know much about Swan. She knew she was a senior and that she was one of the original club members back when Robin started the club. But her other interests, her other clubs, Stevie was clueless about. Hell, she didn't even know the senior's favorite color.
"You excited for the club this year?"
