The time has come, dear citizens, to plot many house-y things!
THE BASICS
On the 23rd, characters are going to wake up from a sound slumber in a sleeping bag located in their respective house. Each house has one hatch and whatever else can be found that fits its theme. They'll be stuck there with their fellow trapped characters for twelve hours of in-game time, and after those twelve hours all characters will black out and wake up right where they were when they first fell asleep. As always, we encourage and love backtagging, so don't worry if posts go up at a weird time for you.
This post is for:
- Any last minute changes. We did our best to spread people out and include everyone, but if we missed you, please let us know. If you don't find your name or at least one of your characters assigned to a house below, that means we either a) accidentally missed you as we are not yet awesome infallible robots, or b) you've posted an indefinite hiatus that would cover the time the event will take place. Should you want in now, just drop us a line and we'll talk to a player that has multiple characters involved and see where we can fit you in.
- For you guys to plot! Get together in comments, decide which person is going to make the initial post for your house, get to know each other a little and familiarize yourself with contact info of your housemates. Even brainstorm all the fun things you'd like to do in this event and what kind of CR you want to kickstart. Also, if you have any questions about how anything works, feel free to ask them.
THE HOUSES
GLASS HOUSE
Characters: Glitch (Keri), Tosh (Vivian), Dick (Jillian), Morgana (Spy), Giles (Kim)
Description: Full of no stones. It's a large, furnished home made of glass walls with strange writing etched on them and various clockwork mechanisms that shift and re-arrange the internal architecture at random intervals. (

WHOREHOUSE
Characters: Piper (Zarah), Watson (Cori), Tim (Kai), Teddy (Jenni), Petrana (Dele)
Description: Full of fringe and red velvet couches. Modeled after a brothel either from the 1800's or a campy version thereof, there's some opulent bedrooms with huge beds. Tucked away in closets and under aforementioned beds are, ahem, "marital aides" and a game of Twister. (

GRAND OLE OPRY HOUSE
Characters: Juliet (Flurry), Tara (Ammmy), Elena (Liz), Kirk (Rumi), Claire (Amy M.)
Description: Full of the sounds of music. It's pretty much the Grand Ole Opry complete with stage that looks like a barn, backstage, sound system, cushy audience seats, and assorted musical instruments. There are even a few box seats and a balcony. (

HOUSE OF STAIRS
Characters: Mohinder (Amy), Solomon (Dele), Mabel (Atreyu), Arthur (Lauren), John (Jeri)
Description: Full of stairs. Modeled after the drawing Relativity by MC Escher, it's a large, enclosed space made of stairs going every which way. Gravity here is relative ('down' is whatever steps you're standing on at that moment), so be careful. (

TIKI CASINO HOUSE
Characters: Buffy (Lauren), Sagramore (Soujin), Zorya (Kay), Hermes (Takhys), Bones (Watson)
Description: Full of questionable choices. A large tiki-themed lounge and casino where there are slot machines, card and pool tables, a fully stocked bar, and an arcade with games and unlimited coins to play for the less gambling inclined. (

INTERNATIONAL HOUSE OF PANCAKES
Characters: River (Gidget), Cat (Liz), Sam (Kristi), Balthazar (Jillian), Fred (Amy)
Description: Full of mofo-ing pancakes, yo. For all intents and purposes, it's the inside of a deserted IHOP. The kitchen is fully stocked, and there are recipes for everything that can be found on the IHOP menu with instructions on how to use the equipment. (

DIONEAE HOUSE
Characters: Xander (Lauren), Trixie (Kay), Kaylee (Cheryle), Uhura (Carlee), DG (Emma)
Description: Full of oddness. Mostly normal abandoned home, but temperatures fluctuate and the stairs to the attic appear randomly. When they're there, they lead to a room that smells like sweet baked goods that is actually full of baked goods. Strings may come out of faucets to tickle people occasionally. (

GINGERBREAD HOUSE
Characters: The Doctor (MJ), Max (Carlee), Drusilla (Emma), Dean (Flurry), Ethan (Dele)
Description: Full of food. A normal, if overly cute, home save for the fact that everything from furniture to the walls are edible. Looks right out of a fairy tale, and has a strangely large (though non-edible) stove in the kitchen. (

FRAT HOUSE
Characters: Godric (Zee), Jack (Jenni), Holmes (Shar), Dawn (Sarah), Doul (Takhys)
Description: Full of shenanigans. Modeled after the frat in Animal House, it's dirty, sparse, untidy, and has a keg in the kitchen. Other than the keg, it also has a fridge full of beer, togas for each character, and more pillows than is really necessary. (
Image)
CLUE HOUSE
Characters: Judith (Liz), Siri (Rumi), Cordelia (Zarah), Leila (Kay)
Description: Full of mystery. A rich-looking, old fashioned estate. There are a few secret doors, hefty candlesticks, and ticking grandfather clocks. Displayed prominently is a kit for characters to play a murder-mystery game, including appropriate costumes. (

HOUSE ON THE ROCK
Characters: Brucolac (Abby), Ruby (Eri), Cameron (Yusagi), Buffy (Eric), Ben (Liz)
Description: Full of modern art. ...really just look at the website and have fun wandering around. (

HOUSE OF CATS
Characters: Illyria (Zarah), Levi (Flurry), Penny (Anna), Enfys (Dele), Mordred (Mhari)
Description: Full of cats and cat-related oddities. It looks like a regular home that would belong to someone's grandmother, though there are portraits of beloved cats long gone on the walls and about ten actual cats wandering around. (
Image)
SUBURBAN HOUSE
Characters: Bruce (Claire), Brigitta (Dorey), The Master (Spish), Stefan (Jeri)
Description: Full of normalcy. Almost to the point that it's eerie and unsettling. It's a two-story home that appears to be furnished carefully to not have any individual personality of the possible owners, like a home being shown around by a real estate agent, not one lived in. (
