"Ugh, I really did not want to be the first one here," Jamie mumbled to herself and checked her watch. "I guess I am a bit early, but I had expected there to be more traffic." She had driven over after running some errands for her mom and grabbing a quick dinner. It was ten minutes until six o'clock, when they had planned to meet. "What am I going to do for another ten minutes? I hope someone else arrives early." She had gotten out of her car and stood by the wrought iron fence surrounding the property. It was getting a bit chilly now, so she decided to go back in her car to wait for someone else to show up. She found an old magazine in the backseat. She tilted her seat back, rested her feet on the dashboard, and started flipping through it, occasionally glancing at the large manor house nearby.
Peabody Manor is a creepy, old house on the top of a hill at the end of town. The only people that visited it anymore were children daring each other to step inside and then run off. It used to be the home of an eccentric old man and his wife. They had several children who grew up and moved away. The youngest child, a daughter, disappeared one day while playing in the backyard and was never seen again. Jamie's grandmother had known the Peabody's and remembered well the day little Milly went missing. She was such a friendly little girl and everyone took a liking to her. The wife had not been the same after that and later died of sickness. After she passed, Mr. Peabody grew sullen and kept to the house. The butler was seen to come and go to buy house supplies and food, but he hardly spoke to anyone as well. No one had seen any of them for quite some time and assumed the old man had died and the butler had just handled it quietly and moved on. At least, that's what Jamie's mom had told her when she was little. The house had stood empty on top of the hill since before Jamie was born.
Tonight, Jamie and some of her friends had planned to get together and explore the old estate. It was somewhat less creepy with a group of friends, but not by much. A beep from Jamie's cell phone interrupted an interesting article about last year's fall fashions. She flipped it open and read the display. "Aw, Cristy can't make it. She's sending over a friend to take her place, though. I wonder who it'll be," Jamie said while texting her friend back. It was now five minutes to six o'clock. She sighed and looked up at the old house behind the overgrown garden. "I hope someone else gets here soon. I don't think I like being here alone," she said and went back to reading her magazine.

Welcome to Peabody Manor!

This is a present day haunted house rp. Also, all characters are human. Not magical creatures in human form or cyborgs with human bodies. Just humans.
![Cheeky Tongue :P](./images/smilies/icon_tongue.gif)
Although, you can have occult talents like tarot reading, telekinesis, telepathy, psychometry, etc. I'd prefer nothing extremely powerful. I'd also prefer to keep the future-telling to a minimum so it does not rule the rp, so it'd probably be best if you didn't focus on something that did that often. You do not need an occult talent at all. These are just suggestions incase you are interested. If you choose to have an occult talent, I would prefer if it wasn't used all the time and if it wasn't brought up until things got rolling a bit. This rp is more about a group of people exploring a haunted house then people showing off flashy powers.

These are not characters you can be. They are just for reference.
Your characters are either friends of Jamie or friends of one of Jamie's friends who couldn't make it and so sent you along. If you are a friend of a friend, you have to say who sent you.
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
I'd like an age range from maybe 15-20. They can know each other or not know each other, however you want.
Everyone must meet up in front of the gate before entering. If other people join after we enter the manor, they can come on in.
![Smile :)](./images/smilies/icon_smile.gif)
This rp is always open and people can join at any time. If you will be away for a while, please post up, so we won't wait for a response/action from your character.
I also wanted to mention, I'd rather no one had the front doors slam shut and lock or anything of the sort, so new people can still enter. Other doors are fair game, though.
