Scavenger Hunt Intro

“You guys ready for this?” Evangeline asked as she arched her perfectly sculpted eyebrow, a mischievous grin dancing on her lips. It was finally the night of her annual scavenger hunt that kicked off the summer season. “While most of you know what to do, for those new to our game, the rules are simple…” Van’s heels clicked against the marble floor as she walked around her full living-room.  “One. You have until midnight to do as many things on the list. Two. Try to avoid getting caught by the cops. Whichever team wins gets to pick our summer trip. Everyone meet back here at midnight”  Van distributed the game essentials including the scavenger hunt lists and cameras. “The teams are as followed, Star and Autumn, Mallorie and Callum, Xavier and Cecil, Cooper you’re with Lou, and Gram, you’re with me. oh and…. Goodluck guys”

*Whoever starts has to post their para as a note which you reply to by comments on FB. If you need to go over one comment than do so, no big deal. One person documents the dare, the other does it obviously.

Now I am aware that para isnt for everyone but I applaud the many that have decided to participate.

Alistair was adopted at the age of nine by a classy and conservative couple, whom couldn’t bare children of their own. Money was no object to them. They were incredibly rich and were able to offer Alistair a future that many would die for. His adoptive father wanted a son of his very own to take on his family name and Alistair had become his golden child, treating him as if he were his own. While attending the most prestigious high-school in New York, Alistair met Evangeline, a girl his parents had instantly approved of. After high-school, Alistair begged his parents to allow him to attend Berkley instead of Elston, their Alma Mater. It didn’t take long for the distance to destruct Alistair’s impeccable grades. Getting into the wrong crowd, Alistair was eventually expelled from school. His parents easily got him a place at Elton where he is now currently attending alongside Eva.

Rise and shine, everyone. It’s been a long year, but it’s finally summer in New York City! The temperatures are hot, but the people and the parties are even hotter. It seems like the season is already in full swing, especially with the annual costume party out of the way.

The Who party brought summer in with a drama filled bang. It’s never really a party until the De Wildes walk in. Ella And Evangeline De Wilde walked in with the Whittaker boys on their arm— something that we all saw coming. Now we all knew Cooper Whittaker really wanted to bring miss Cecil Davidson to the party and he wasn’t afraid to show it. Ella ended up taking out her frustrations on the dance floor, and with mysterious pills. Ella, didn’t you hear that when you fight fire with fire, all you do is get burned? Sources spotted Cecil making her late entrance only to leave moments later on Coopers arm.

Cooper wasn’t the only Whittaker brother who experienced his fair share of drama in the evening— Xavier Whittaker, who had come with Evangeline, effectively got ditched by his date after denying her a dance. Don’t you know the rules by now Xav? You should never keep a girl waiting. Evangeline De Wilde found a new friend in Ivy Dowles, yes readers, Maps De Wilde’s date. Not only were the two spotted sneaking away to the bathroom, Ivy also became little miss Eva’s favorite influence.  While this was happening, Maps took the opportunity to lay on his smoothest moves to a lonely Mallorie Costa at the bar, who despite her model good looks, was dateless. Looks like Maps didn’t succeed since after Ivy was done playing with Maps’ sister, she slinked her way over to claim her date, and the two of them ended up going home together.

Despite the drama, some people stole the show at the party. Callum De Wilde was the belle of the ball, as he arrived early and danced his little heart out. Not wanting to be outshone by Callum, Domenic Reeves made sure that everyone was staring at him as he entered. Speaking of our favorite boys who play for the other team, where was Gram Austens for the majority of this action? After his date, Davian, arrived; the both of them managed to slip away from all the action. Gram only came back to keep Mallorie company, only to get into a fight with Maps, who suggested a ménage a trois between her and Remy DeLeon, the late arrival. Their disdain for each other wasn’t unheard of— they started off friends, Gram effectively riding Maps’ coat tail to the top, and Maps growing steadily annoyed with Gram’s attitude. Before anyone could throw the first punch, both parties were placated by their respective after-party jaunts.

You know what they say, it’s not a party on the Upper East Side without scandal, sex and drugs. Besides, for as hard as we work, we have to play twice as hard. Rest up, pretty people— the whole summer is ours for the taking. So whether it’s spending the time suntanning in Central Park, drinking out of shiny silver flasks on the rooftop of the Met, or strolling along Park Avenue in your sundresses while shopping for the next party to come, I won’t be far behind— I’m one of you too. But, until next time, you know you love me.

Chatzy party ‘tutorial’

Now I know most of you have no idea what and how we actually do ‘chatzy’ events. This should help you understand the concept.

1. Chatzys are strictly IN CHARACTER. Don’t come in there OOC, or you will be ignored or kicked out.
2. Yes, We are aware that ‘one-lining’ might be beneath a few people but you shouldn’t have joined if you aren’t prepared to play out events.
3. Be realistic. Be creative. And have fun.

[to do a simple action type in ‘/me walks into the club’ ]

Here’s an example CLICKMECLICKME
Now you dont have to be so dry in your conversations. do what you would think your character would do.

Dowles, Ivy Daniella

Full Name: Ivy Daniella Dowles
Nickname(s): Poison Ivy
Birthdate: August 21th, 1992
Hometown: Los Angeles, Ca
Occupation: Fashion Design Intern
Major: Philosophy, Fashion
Parents: Levi Michael Dowles and Mary Rose Dowles
Siblings: n/a

Although not following exactly in the footsteps of her parents, Ivy Dowles is stuck in the fashion world in which she was brought up in. With money behind her ass and the name her father has built for her, she is not one you would assume to break free from the rules easily but you have thought too soon. Although a blazing party animal is her middle name, she does a swell job of keeping her business and her social life separate although most of the time they mesh with the help of her screwy friends. Although usually head in the clouds and a joint in her hand, Ivy seems to take a liking to someone very familiar - Maps Nathaniel De Wilde. After moving from Bristol, England to the Americas, Maps found comfort in his first American friend, miss Poison Ivy herself. With a year of great memories, they were soon shattered when Ivy suddenly ran away from the “high life” to Moracco without much of a goodbye. Now back after two years, I guess you could say these two have some unfinished business.

From the age of 18 and on, Levi Michael Dowles has become an iconic designer in the high end world of fashion. Meeting Mary Rose in a small pub on the southern side of New York, they were always the most unlikely couple until they had little miss priss, “Poison Ivy” as many know her from her intoxicating sense of presence. Never approving much of her decisions shone brightly in the media, the Dowles folks always seem to hold a tight leash around her throat and thus, she was dropped in the surroundings of Elton University.

Gray, Lou

Full Name: Lou Gray
Nickname(s): LouLou, Gray, Graysie.
Birthdate: 19
Hometown: Melbourne Australia
Occupation: College Junior, Assistant Music advisor BMI.
Parents: Valleria and Tony Gray.
Siblings: None.

Head strong, determined, sarcastic as hell - there are so many things that could be said to describe Lou, but none as true as the girl across the pond. Growing up in a different country has given Lou an outlook on life and the world a lot different to those of the Upper East Side. Where once there were family get-togethers and movie nights, in their place are big time parties and the kind of events Lou has only ever had a glimpse of through television. While moving was always about getting the chance to explore and grow as a person, the biggest growth came from the reality of leaving her family, friends and, most importantly, boyfriend behind. Though they promised to stay together and be in it for the long haul, she is realizing, now more than ever, that the distance between them that was once just miles, is now worlds, an ever growing battle to keep their love alive, that slowly but surely she’s losing. Now on her own, amidst the bustling city of lights, Lou is working her way to finding out exactly what people are capable of, and who, when it comes down to it, will be there to catch her when she inevitably falls.

A Melbourne native, Lou’s life turned upside down on her 18th birthday when her deeply estranged grandparents, Elaine and Chester Gray, stepped in to the picture. With bank accounts beyond her wildest dreams and connections to the top Elite colleges in NYC, it took only a little convincing before Lou was whisked off to have a taste of the good life. Behind her, her parents, boyfriend and beloved dog Winston, and in front of her, the key to the future. Now with the city at her feet, Lou’s life is finally just beginning, and for the first time she’s ready to grab it by the balls.

Costa, Mallorie Colette

Full Name: Mallorie Colette Costa
Nickname(s): Mal, Shmallorie, Ree
Birthdate: July 10, 1992 (18)
Hometown: London, United Kingdom
Occupation: Part-time model, part-time student
Major: Business Psychology
Parents: Nathaniel Rodrigo Costa and Elise Browning
Siblings: Daisy Costa (16)
Contact information: Facebook | Formspring

Mallorie Costa was born in the the tiny village of East Falmer, located in Sussex, while her parents were on holiday from their busy lives in London. Mallorie was raised in London, United Kingdom, and attended Le Rosey, a boarding school in Switzerland with two campuses. During the winter, they switch to another campus. On one of her holidays, Mallorie and her family visited her mother’s family on their old stomping grounds on the Upper East Side, in Manhattan. While exploring the city, Mallorie was asked if she would be able to model as a favour to one of her mother’s designer friends. At the age of 16 1/2, Mallorie became a part time model, transferring to the Dalton School, and lived with her maternal grandparents— visiting her family in London when her assignments would take her there. Mallorie is a bit standoffish, due to her model lifestyle, she takes friends a bit seriously, and hardly trusts people. She doesn’t believe in dating or relationships, due to the fact that she believes men are only in it for one thing. A relationship at boarding school is the cause of her insecurities and source of mistrust. To those that she does trust, she is a loyal friend and completely honest. As a model, she indulges in parties, but never stays for more than a few hours, and only has one or two drinks, if any. She has a slight British-Swiss accent. The only qualm with her model lifestyle is that she secretly has anorexia.

Her family is well-known throughout the world, yet Mallorie still managed to stay out of the public’s eye due to the fact that she attended a European boarding school. Her father is a multibillionaire Spaniard, Nathaniel Rodrigo Costa, who married into the old money Browning family, of which her mother is a direct descendant. Her family is listed in the Social Register, though they now live in London, UK, where her father’s business is headquartered. She is close to both of her parents, though she attended boarding school. They let Mallorie live on a relatively loose leash when she was living under their jurisdiction, which, after a few of Mallorie’s old boarding school romps and times, made her a better person. Allowing her to model lets her live her craziness through work.

Closets anyone?

Lets add a little more creativity here shall we? We’ve decided to add a little extra touch of realism to this group. Anyone wished they could actually dress their characters? That costume party coming up, wouldn’t you love seeing what kind of outfits people would actually wear? Well we’re giving you guys the opportunity to show us more of your character. Here’s what you do:

1. Go to Polyvore.com and create an account.
2. After that you hit create, which is located on the top links. This should open up something like this.
3. You simply use the search engine on the right side and drag the articles of clothing you’d like on the blank canvas on the left side. You can edit the way things are placed with the tools on the top of the canvas.

Heres where it gets a little tricky. This is for guys [as you can tell, there arent a lot of guy stuff] or girls who want to look outside of ployvore. You have to bookmark the ‘clipper’ to your web browser. You can get that here.
That lets you browse any site online [online stores like Topshop, AE, etc.] and it lets you clip whatever piece of clothing or any accessory from that site to add to your polyvore.  [it’ll be under ‘my items’]

Now this isn’t mandatory and I know it may look a little tricky but once you get the hang of it, it’s actually a lot of fun. So try it out :]
