This is a sandbox style role play that is based in a Southern Californian named Ocean City.
This town is home to a prestigious high school and university that students from all over flock to. The school is home to the best teachers in the state and hosts an eclectic variety of students from all over the world. Students have the option to live on campus and in between classes on the weekend are able to roam the town. There is always some kind of event going on. In this role play you can role play high school students, teachers, college students, and the town residents! We encourage character development and being able to follow your character through different stages of life encourages that.
This town is on the water and offers many events for every season along with the schools offering their own events as well. There are many chances to foster positive relationships between characters but this is a slice of life so drama and enemies are bound to be made!
Also, don't think your secrets are safe because there are those who patrol the tides of gossip and report all the going ons in the town gossip blog. Here everyone’s dirty laundry is presented, it’s up to the characters to believe it and do whatever they want with it.
Our members are funny and brimming with sarcasm, we look forward to our new members so we can add to the student and staff populations while further growing our characters and challenging ourselves in our writing skills. Most of our conversations happen off site in our own chat room, which we have a link posted above in the toggled section, until then if you have any questions go ahead and post them in the CBOX, we will get back to you as soon as possible!
Have fun looking around, we hope to meet you soon!
April 20th
At this time Tidwater is, unfortunately, on an indefinite hiatus. All active members have regrouped and started a new rol play forum.
If you would like to join us, it is located here.
Dark, multiple voices. Several men, maybe one or two women. Hands and feet are tied and a mouth gagged was placed. Rough hands grabbing a hold, fear and pain rushing through every vein.
It was too real, it felt too real.
"Ani."
Her name snapped her out of the dark haze she'd been stumbling through as she tried to find her way out of the dark visions she saw every time she closed her eyes.
"You're alright. You're safe here with me." The kind words of her therapist didn't calm her nerves or fear, but she tried to appear so. Taking a deep breath and letting it out slowly as she was instructed to do whenever the images got too bad. "Now, how did you feel."
How did she feel? This question was asked by every therapist, and she was getting tired of answering it without getting an answer back as to why the nightmares stopped years ago, only to return recently. "Alone. Scared. More like terrified." she repeated the list she made the first time the question had been asked. It was the same things she felt every time she had the nightmare and the everything felt so real, she woke up with real fear running through her.
"Tell me what went on before you were kidnapped." the Therapist scribbled something down on her pad and Ani figured it was the list she just rattled off. She didn't want to keep reliving this nightmare, she just wanted to forget it and actually sleep well at night.
"I was outside playing, there were three of us..." Ani remembered how Kelsey, Catie, and her would all play at the little creek behind their houses. Past the fences. Past the safety of their gated community. "It was like every other day you know, we didn't think..." She trailed off, a tear sliding down her face as she remembered the two faces of her friends, that never got to grow up. Her therapist nodded her head and motioned for her to continue, though reached over and grabbed the tissue box, holding it out for her. Ani took a tissue and wiped her face, wishing she could stop crying over the fact that her two childhood friends were never going to grow up and it might have been the same for her. "A gray van pulled up on the dirt road beside the creek, and several guys popped out. Surprised us." she remembered how all three of them tried to fight, scream, get away, but none of them were strong enough. "That's the last thing I remember before waking up in the dark room. Alone." She didn't know the fate of her two friends at that time. She found out later they had been sold in a sex trafficking ring, or possibly killed. She'd been held for ransom and her parents had paid. She had heard that she would also be sold into sex slavery even if they had paid, but authorities had been contacted. After the money had been given, the police had shown up and ransacked the house.
"Do you want to discuss what happened... In that house?"
Ani shook her head. She didn't want to remember the long cold nights on the floor. The lack of food or water given to her over the few days she waited for the ransom to be paid.
What else went on in that house she was trapped in, would stay with her forever.
Underneath it all I'm held captive by the hole inside I've been holding back for the fear that you might change your mind
I'm ready toforgiveyou butforgetting is a harder fight
Since we are all stuck here at the lodge and it's been a boring few days. I've decided to pick up people watching.
Let me tell you the things I've seen.
Kinley finally found out her best friend is dating her sister. She almost puked, it was hilarious.
Speaking of Kinley, noticed her not hanging out with her best friend and sister, but was close to someone else. Want to let everyone know you're dating again? Wait until she hears the news.
I'm pretty sure I noticed a student disappear into a teachers room? Though it could be completely innocent like needing help with homework.... Right?
Does anyone else think playing board games is just a cover up for hooking up? Just me? Alright, you aren't fooling anyone Vaya and Budford.
Nathaniel probably hoped the Christmas Rom Com was going to get him into Maya's pants, or sweater dress? But I'm pretty sure it only got you a few measly brownie points. Better luck next time.
She's got a boyfriend, but she's also got a side dick. I think that's very unfair for the rest of us, don't you think Artemis? Would be a shame if the real media got a hold of this rumor, I'm sure your boyfriend would just LOVE to meet Lance.
Now my riddles didn't get the attention I wanted, well. Sort of. I heard there was a fight at the luau over Winnie.
Ben, you sure she wants you? She did run away after all.
So lets move onto rating couples. This was always fun to do before.
Lets see if there are any forever couples out there
Jolene & Aaron:It's kind of cute how the hotshot movie star fell for the country bumpkin, even if she's drop dead gorgeous. Do you think she's over her childhood crush? I hope so, otherwise this relationship will last two months, and it hasn't even started!
Danielle & Every boy she's ever stalked:It's kind of sad really, how desperate she is for love and attention. That's some clear daddy issues if I do say so myself. Boys, better watch yourself. Girls, better watch your man. Any relationship she has, probably isn't real, since she makes it all up in her head.
Astrid & Jake: *YAWN* These two fell for each other fast and I mean racehorse fast. At first it was kind of cute like those rom com movies they show during the holidays, but now? Boring. If they were a class, they'd be history. If they were a book, they'd be two books. If they were a spice, they'd be flour. Again. *YAWN* Honestly I can see this couple lasting till their deathbed, because they both know they are too boring for other people.
Paxton & Gavin:Can a robot have feelings? Is it worth Paxton's time chasing him if he's never going to feel anything but the cold hard metal of his robotic heart? If they do end up dating, I bet it will only last a few weeks, Paxton seems like the type that needs a man that reciprocates the same feelings.
Iris & Darien: Don't think we haven't noticed you taking a liking to the boy that broke your friends heart. If you aren't careful enough, you might end up in the same boat, only I don't think she'll be as sympathetic about it. Prediction if they ever start dating? They don't, Darien will move on to someone else, easily.
Beatrice & Luca: Jolene isn't the only one trying to make moves on a bandmate. Beatrice was seen cozying up to Luca at the beach, even so much as sharing the same surfboard. Only, Beatrice, are you sure about Luca? Are you not a crazy zodiac girl that need the stars to tell you what kind of day you'll have? From the words of Tulio and Miguel: The stars are not in position for this tribute. Stars. Can't do it. Prediction? Maybe three months.
Lance & Every whore in school: You'd think he'd get the hint that I'm pretty sure the rest of us sees; how desperate a specific girl is to sleep with him. But no, he decides to sleep with the entire student body, because well, why not he's hot. Will he ever have a girlfriend? Will he ever have a specific girl as said girlfriend? Not if he stays a chicken. BWOK BWOK BWOK
Jaiden & Emmett: I hope you know Jaiden, that if you or any other girl that gets with Emmett, has to deal with the burden of his last girlfriend disappeared. He probably killed her, but sometimes, that's what attracts us. Harder Daddy Meyers If he doesn't murder her, I give them a year or more.
Shannon & Reed: Or is it Bobby? Which one is it going to be Shannon? Not like a lot of the girls at this school have a boy pinning after them, let alone two. What a fucking bitch to string them along. Either let one go or both. The decision is yours. Prediction? If she ends up with Reed it wont last maybe two years, she has expensive taste. if she ends up with Bobby I could see it lasting a long time, he is a simp after all.
See you in the hallways
P.S. Do you think Maxon and Kinley are going to last this time around? I give it three days. P.S.S That was one of the riddle answers you uncultured swine

But baby you've seen the type
"Westley! Time for dinner!"
"I'll be right there!" Westley called down as he pushed the last thumbtack into his wall and stepped back to admire his work. He had redecorated his wall with posters and pictures of his current obsession; Riell Candace. Sure some of the pictures had other members of the band, but she was his main focus at the moment.
"OooOooo, Westley's got a girlfriend." His little brother giggled before running down the hall to avoid any repercussions. If only he wished, he would give anything to be her boyfriend let alone just meet her. He'd be lucky if he even got to buy a ticket for a concert to watcher her with the way his parents controlled their spending. They were constantly telling him and his siblings they needed to save up for college, though lately he told them that if he could just buy a ticket to their concert, he knew if he and Riell made eye contact, it would fix him up for life.
"Westley, we need to talk." His father stepped into the doorway, not even phased by his wall of posters and pictures of Riell. His dad was after all, a photographer for People magazine and his mother was also a writer for them. That was how they met after all. So seeing pictures of celebrities wasn't something new in the house.
"Yeah dad? What's up?" he asked as he tossed the rest of the thumbtacks he didn't use onto his desk, figuring he could use them for more pictures later. Though where he would put them? He wouldn't know, his entire room from ceiling to floor was covered in photos with whatever he was obsessed with at the moment.
"I have a proposition for you." His dad stepped over to his desk and took a seat, motioning he should do the same, despite the fact that his mom was yelling about dinner being ready. "Don't worry, your mom knows you'll be a little bit."his dad reassured him. Westley took a seat on his bed, rubbing his sweaty hands on his pants, worrying he had done something wrong and couldn't remember what it was. He had to be in trouble, right?
"As you know, we've been trying to get the inside scoop on that band you are obsessed with. Rock and whatever." He waved his hands in dismissal, as if it wasn't his duty to know who it was he was trying to capture photos of.
"Rock-Away." Westley corrected his dad, though that didn't matter since his dad started talking without accepting the correction.
"We've located them at this Tidewater School, we want to send you since you're the same age. We need you to get the scoop on them, any scoop, anyway you can." his dad began to stand as if that was the end of the conversation and there was no need to explain further. He'd given his instructions to his son and that was all that was necessary, even if the information was to only get any information he could, by any means necessary.
Westley stood up and nodded his head, knowing he would do anything as long as he could even just see Riell in the same room as him. "Okay dad. I wont let you down." he smiled and held out his hand to his dad. His dad hesitated at first, but then took his hand and shook it. Westley was smiling like an idiot, not because he was getting to get out of the house, away from his younger siblings, but this would mean he'd get to talk to the bandmembers.
And Riell.

I don't want to be a bitch (HAHAHA) but you guys are really boring
No one guessed my riddles? How sad, ya'll are really boring for not wanting to play. Guess those riddles will just stay in your head until someone can figure it out.
.....
Maybe I'll elaborate on one of the riddles, would that make it more fun? Which riddle to choose from...
Riddle 1 is too boring, there's no drama between those two. I mean it's pretty obvious who the couple is, even a monkey could figure it out.
Jake Malcom and Astrid LaWolfe
Riddle 2 is a little less boring, only because I am pretty sure this person is on the verge of overdosing, I bet they are high right now. Say hi to the white rabbit for me Lucas
Now Riddle 3... That could cause some drama. How long do you think you can keep the secret, till the next Holiday? Can't keep things hidden for long Kaleb. Finley will find out
Riddle 4 is a bore and has been brought up over and over again, but riddle 4 does go along with riddle 5. Riddle 5 is a nice a surprise for someone in riddle 4 to figure out. Tik tok tik tok.
Shannon slept with Maxon
We aren't even going to talk about riddle 6, why bother with it when I didn't even care about it the first round.
You don't know me, but I know you. I want to play a game.
Here's what happens if you lose.
Nothing, you just wont know the answers to my riddles and hopefully, it will haunt you for the rest of your lives.
.....
Doubtful that will actually happen, but I can dream can't I?
Riddle #1
One is a hot goody two shoes that has a matching piece; the other is boring goody two shoes that's hiding a past.
Who are these two?
Riddle #2 Down, down, and down the dark and deep rabbit hole. How far is the fall? Nobody knows.
Who am I?
Riddle #3 If 1+1=2, and this person has the same eyes, nose, and mouth. Then perhaps they have the same jeans.
Are we siblings?
Riddle #4 Secret meetings, whispered moments. Hidden in plain sight, you think we don't see you. But we do; do you really think you can test fate once more?
What couple am I?
Riddle #5 Roommates, friends, frenemies. I wonder what would happen to the delicate ecosystem that is your relationship if it got out about what happened Freshman year; a party, some drinks, 1 bed, 2 bodies.
Who fucked who?
Riddle #6 I had another riddle for you, but I am bored making these up. That must be how this person feels dealing with this spaced out mind everyday at lunch.
This year at Tidewater we have a few new students to welcome into our little... Cult. If there's one thing you should take away from this school, it's that your secrets, wont stay secret for long.
But enough about secrets.
Lets get on with our annual hot or not list shall we? Whose hot and whose not, and who will even make it on the list? Looks aren't always what gets you on the hot list, but it definitely helps.
Are you hotter then the sun?
Jolene: She's the poster child for the ugly duckling turned swan. She was awkward and weird as a middle schooler (We can understand why you weren't interested Reed) but bloomed into quite the looker - So much so she bagged a major heart throb - Aaron. But will she be able to keep him? He isn't known to stay in a relationship for long
Cole: New hottie alert. Don't know much about his story, but I'm sure eventually all his skeletons will be exposed. Maya: When there are twins, there's always a hotter one. It's Disney science. Maya bagged that title easily, seeing as has amazing fashion, and is the most outgoing out of the two. Has anyone even seen her other twin? Oh right, see below. Emmett: Yes he is stupid, may have murdered his last girlfriend, but HOT DAMN.... He's drop dead gorgeous. He could murder me anytime Jaiden: Rumor has it, she the better looking sister, Kinley better look out, she may even try for Maxon. Although rumor has it she's trying for his cousin; routing for you girl Iris: I'm going to say it, the whole family has amazing genes because even her aunt is smoking. 10/10, would recommend visiting the Center just to scope her out. Gunner: Even with a missing leg, he can't be beat. Honestly, the cane makes him ten times hotter. Riell: If I had to pick who I wanted to bang out of the band besides Aaron, it would be his sister. She outshines the rest of the group and could easily make it on her own. Beatrice: Fairly new to our school, she's got the looks for sure, though she is a bit weird with her whole astrology thing. Do you think she'll blame any problems she creates on her being a Cancer? Reed: If I could pick one twin out of the Malcom twins, it would be Reed. I'd let that cowboy ride me all day and night. Too bad he's blinded by the light shinning off Ice Queen's heart; she's a fool, but the rest of us can enjoy him instead.
Not even a bottom feeder wants you
Ya'll are lower then dirt
Faelyn: Shy and timid isn't cute girl. It's annoying and weird. I still remember when this bitch got scared in last years haunted maze and ran screaming through the whole thing. It was just a teacher with a mask on! Danielle: If Jolene was the poster child for the ugly duckling turned swan, Danielle is the poster child for clingy obsessed girlfriend. I hear once that she watched a guy sleep while he was passed out at a party. Talk about being a total stalker. 0/10 would not recommend even looking in her direction. Sasha: Needless to say she is the less hot twin; those baggy clothes don't really do much besides make you look homeless. Then again, if the rumors are true, you're interested in Kaleb. Careful, his last few girlfriends died. Lucas: He started off as such a cutie; even though he talks to some guy in his head, maybe he could have grown out of it. But he's addicted to drugs and ends up just sleeping around. STD's are not hot Lucas. Paxton: I fear in the future that people will fall in love with inanimate objects and robots. Seems Paxton already lives in the year 2360, because she's fallen for Gavin, whose basically a robot. Girl; emotions aren't in his vocabulary, he'll probably never love you. Zander: He's... Weird. Need I say more? No Winnie: What a nerd. She changes her hair color like every month, she has more piercings then the US flag has stars, and I'm pretty sure she's having a relationship with the comic book guy.. She's always there. Kinley: She took Maxon back. Are we shocked? No. Are we disgusted? Yes. Girl could have done so much better. She had Winston (Though he died) and then went on a date with Gunner (Hottie with a missing leg). Guess this is why your sister is hotter than you. Syra: Ew, if I had the option to get rid of a bandmate, it would be her. She's just a waste of space. She should just leave the talent to her cousins and work the street corner. Kaleb: I think he was faking his whole amnesia deal. He just didn't want to date Sophie but didn't want her being a psycho towards him so he pretended to not remember their entire relationship. Now he doesn't have to worry about it, since she died. And so did Analisa. And a few other girls he slept with. Girls might want to stay away from him, he's cursed.
If you didn't make the list, don't worry; there's more to come. See you in the hallways
Position: Teaching Assistant; Sophomore at West Shore
Playby: Kirsty Mooney
"Where is it?" Maribel felt like she'd been searching for the outfit she had in mind for hours, unable to find the top to it to finish it. She knew it was in her closet somewhere, but she hadn't cleaned out her closet in ages and she couldn't remember the last time she'd worn it; three months ago? It had to be in here underneath all the pile of clothes she'd worn for her recent job interview at Tidewater High.
It wasn't enough though, the money for being a teaching assistant. She still had four years of college left and since her parents kicked her out she had to cover her own bills such as her apartment, car, and utilities. So she got a second job, which is what she was searching the top for. "It's got to be here," She muttered to herself as she tossed the pile of clothes she'd picked up to the side and started shifting through more.
"Yes! I knew it." She pulled out a black lingerie top that went with the cute little tutu she purchased recently and had designed her whole episode around the outfit. She quickly changed, fixing her hair in the mirror before placing the matching mask on her face. Not only did it bring about a feeling of mystery that attracted a few fans, it also helped keep her identity a secret; she wasn't ready to lose her newest job at Tidewater for this. In order to pay all her bills, she started an OnlyFans page.
Once she was dressed, she headed out into her living room where she had set up her studio, which is why she never invited anyone over. She felt nervous as usual as she double checked her set up, made sure the microphone could pick up her voice, her computer screens were up and running so she could interact with fans, and the lighting was right. "Okay, I can't delay this any longer." She sighed as she noted the time on the clock; two minutes till she was meant to be on.
Maribel took a deep breath, reaching up to rest a hand on her face, feeling the mask and the wave of relief washing over. As long as she kept her face covered no one would know it was her. "Alright, counting down from Five, four, three." She said the last two numbers in her head before she turned on the camera and put on the sexy face her fans had come to love.
"Hello students," She slapped the ruler she held in her hand against a students desk she'd found in the dumpster at Tidewater.
"Glad you could make it to class on time. Now, who forgot their homework?"
It's funny how we have had past posts dedicated to those who have spread their legs, spread their seed, have lots of sex if you catch my drift.
But Shannon wasn't really a part of them
Mostly because she's been apart of a love triangle. That might change now, she might be a part of a love square?
Is that even possible?
Shannon was spotted at a college house party where she hooked up with a guy, will he have an infatuation with her as well? Seems to be the trend. Some interesting facts about this guy
He's Kinley's cousin
That's the only interesting fact about him at this time. Future sister in laws? Hilarious. Karma's a funny bitch.
Speaking of Kinley
Did you see her with Maxon?
We all know that Kinley and Maxon have had their ups and downs. They were up when they slept together; then they were down with the pregnancy and abortion. Then they were up in a relationship, and then down when Maxon thought Kinley was cheating, and vice versa, and they broke up. Then Maxon had an up with dating Ariana, Kinley had an up with "dating" Winston. And then They both were up when they were cheating on the other and sleeping around.
Is the rollercoaster continuing up? Or will it dip down again?
I don't know about you, but I remember a cold winter night up in the mountains, a night during our ski trip when one of our own fellow students,
Was murdered
The killer hasn't been caught and the case did go cold, literally. There were no clues in the snow except for her necklace and her body has never been found. Emmett of course was at the top of the list, but did he do it?
Possibly
And he might have a new victim, we noticed he was holding hands with none other than Jaiden; Kinley's younger sister. Now that's an interesting pair, don't you think?
Could he be trying to make Kinley jealous?
Is Jaiden just a mini Kinley?
Is that why Emmett is dating her?
We all know Kinley and Emmett are really close. A little TOO close if you catch my drift. But Kinley is hooked on Maxon, Emmett's cousin. Now Jaiden has entered the picture, and while she doesn't look the same as Kinley, she's basically a mini version of her. Maybe since Emmett can't win the heart of Kinley, he's going for the next best thing?
We followed this heartbreaking story from the beginning; Reed and his twin brother Jake, who by the way, is the hotter twin, came to Tidewater for a better education. Who did they leave behind? We didn't know, until Jolene and her own brother joined our ranks. At first we didn't think much of it, just a couple of friends that wanted to attend the same school
However
We learned Jolene had a MAJOR crush on Reed. Did she stalk him to Tidewater? Convince her parents and her brother to follow her crush across most of the country? Possible. He rejected her though, poor girl, for the ICE QUEEN. Talk about a downgrade...
But does she have a chance?
Date: Valentines Date Location: The Town Fair Reed, the sweetheart that he is, set up a secret love nest for him and... The Ice Queen, behind one of the stores. We don't know what it looks like unfortunately, but we did see the two of them enter, and a few minutes later, watched Shannon run out with him calling out to her after. Did it not go well? Clearly, because when we thought Reed wasn't interested in Jolene, he shows up at her dorm room, and forces a kiss on her.
Way to make it hard for her to move on.
It didn't look good, though maybe now Jolene has a chance with Reed? Will the Ice Queen melt her frozen heart and come around for him? Will it be in time before Reed moves on to someone else? He seems to move quickly, if you know what I mean.
Watch out girls, keep your lips guarded.
Mysterious stranger
Befriend? or Beware?
In the early hours one Saturday morning, when the sun has barely peeked over the horizon, a new mysterious stranger drove into town. No one knows where he came from and no one in the town actually knows him. He didn't come here for the grand college or the mini version of it at the high school, and if he doesn't know anyone here, why does it feel like he's running from something? He did come in before most of us were up.
Most of us
So mysterious stranger, what skeletons are you hiding in your closet? Don't get to cozy, you never know who is an informant of mine.
"Grant, don't do this." An angry voiced boomed behind him as he continued to pack his textbooks into a box he had set up on his already packed up bed. He already made the decision to put the brakes on his life and start up again somewhere new. He was tried of the rat race, the constant studying. Everything about his current life, he wanted to throw away it all away for something unknown.
"You're throwing your future away son, you know that right?" His father was right, he was throwing it away and for what? Possibly nothing, possibly everything. "You are on the fast track to graduating early, graduating with the highest honors. You could be a great man."
He stopped packing and stared down at his box of textbooks, feeling like all the words on the books were swirling into a pile of something he used to know, and now, he was lost. "I don't want to be a great man. I just... Want to be me." he didn't expect his dad to understand, he was a great man. His father had made something of himself by his achievements and he had wanted Grant to do the same. Maybe that's why Grant was named after him.
"Grant, I won't let you do this to your life. Now, I'll give you a year off to rest and think about it, without stress. But after the year is up, I want you back at college." He heard the demanding sound in his fathers voice, and he knew he meant business.
He had a year to live his life the way he wanted, before his father forced him to return to life he didn't want.
