Haven
Chapter one
Alrighty then! New story time! This one's in an alternate universe than Soldier of the Ruins, just a heads up.
Now I will be taking O C submissions, BUT this is a plague situation, so O Cs WILL die.
This is going to be a very serious story, not cartoony like standard HTF, so no respawining.
For the O Cs, I do have some guide lines.
Anonymous Reviews Disabled: Please sign in so I have a way to contact you. If you don't have an account, it's very easy to make one and you'll need one if you plan on writing.
Name: no changes, but if I get an O C named Karl and another named Carl, I'm going to ask one of them to come up with a nickname.
Age: Unlike most stories, this matters. O Cs need to be college age or teacher age, so I may adjust a couple things because of this (make a Vietnam war vet. Older, etc.)
Mental Conditions: Stuff like PTSD will not function like Flippy's, instead they will act like someone who has PTSD in real life.
Sexuality: straight, gay, bi?
Other than that, just fill out the standard species, color, bio (keep it short! I don't need a life story) misc, relationships (subject to change, I will respect sexuality though) etc.
This is set at a fictional college in Washington state btw.
Disclaimer: I own nothing.
"Here's your room. Your roommate hasn't arrived yet." The black and white cat said. "Here's your key, come talk to me if you have any questions." He said, walking away, leaving Andy outside his room. Andy Gonsalez was a grey civet, 5'8" and 18 years old. "He didn't even tell me his name." He though. Andy sighed and unlocked his door. Inside were two beds with mattresses, a desk and a poster that read "University of Northern Washington Whales."
"And the football team is the Whales. Who comes up with this stuff?" Andy wondered as he set his suitcase down on the mattress that had less stains. He leaned his guitar case against a wall, then took his laptop out and plugged it in.
"Low battery, just great." So far, Andy wasn't having a good day. A four hour car ride followed by the guide who gave him a brief tour, then dumped him outside his room was the main cause. Not to mention that the food he'd gotten at Taco Bell didn't make him feel too good either. He had arrived at this college a couple days before the classes started, so now he was in a building full of teachers, janitors, and other students who got here early.
"Not much room for my bike." Andy set his bike against the foot of his bed. "I wish I had a car."
At that moment his alarm went off. Reaching into his pocket, he pulled out his iPhone and tapped the alarm off. "Dinner time." Andy glanced at his watch, the digital face proclaiming it was 7:00. Andy opened his closet and dropped his backpack inside. The light from the window illuminated something shinning in the corner. Andy reached in a found that it was a steel baseball bat, with the initials C.M. written on the handle. Not sure what to make of this, he set the bat down next to his guitar case, then wheeled his bike outside. "Pizza or Chinese?" He briefly wondered, not wanting anymore Mexican food.
…..
Andy rolled his bike back inside while holding a small pizza box in one hand. He checked his watch. 9:34. It had taken a while to find a good place to eat, that wasn't too expensive. Quickly making his bed, Andy flipped off the light.
Outside his window, two raccoons saw his light go out. "Ya see that? Second floor, third from the left window a bit open? Let's wait a bit then go in."
The other nodded. "Where'd ya put the ladder?"
"Those bushes over there. Go dig it up will ya?"
About 30 minutes later.
Andy rolled over in his bed after finding the mattress smelled bad. He couldn't sleep, probably from all the sodas he drank when his parents drove him here. He looked over at his window as it was pulled open slightly. Andy reached over and grabbed the bat he found, his tired and caffeine loaded mind not helping him understand what was happening. The window was pulled open even further and a dark shape pulled itself inside and moved towards his laptop. Andy sat up and swung the bat, not putting much force behind it, even though he thought he did. The steel bat connected on the figures leg, not hurting it but certainly startling the would-be thief. The raccoon yelped, then swung himself back out the window and hurried down the ladder as Andy jumped out of bed.
Andy looked out his window as saw two raccoons running away, a ladder held between the two. Not really caring about what had just happened, Andy shut his window and fell into his bed.
There ya go. Submit those O Cs, review, go read my other story if you haven't already…anything I'm missing?
Have a nice day.
