24
OOC:
*loosely based on the television series*
I would like for each RP to post the hour of the event. Then the next player would continue with their character's hour, eventually after 24 posts we would start a new day. This new day would “hopefully” include new players, new situations, and still tie in some players from the previous 24 hours.
The following 24 hours, could mean that the original players characters are no longer needed, so they could come back and play as someone else all together.

5:00AM Monday:
Sheila woke up to the ringing of the telephone, and wiped the sleep from her eyes. “What?” she mumbled into the receiver. Once she heard the voice on the other end she sat up and all thoughts of rest left her.
“What's wrong?” she asked her voice full of concern.
“Mom, I'm in trouble.”
Sheila pushed the blankets off and grabbed her robe, the whole time keeping her phone against the receiver. “Where are you?”
The sounds of her daughter's fear filled her and she hurried to wake up her husband in the spare room. “Wake up!” She growled in frustration as his body continued to sleep off the booze from the night before.
Sheila sat down next to her husband, and listened to her daughter explain to her what was wrong. She felt her mind try to run through the past few months, and she hurt that her daughter was no longer here at home. The split up between Sheila and her husband was hard, and until he found his own place he was stuck living with her. Sheila hung on every word her daughter told her, trying to figure out how to help her.
After they hung up a plan began to form in Sheila's mind. She would need to get her husband's assistance, and she hoped he'd be willing to put aside his affair with the bottle, long enough to focus.
She got dressed and noticed the time. Sheila had spent 30 minutes on the phone with her daughter, and until the appointed time, she couldn't do anything else. She left the room, and headed to the bathroom. She'd let her husband wake up from his drunken stupor while she showered.
As the water hit her skin, she tried to think of what went wrong in her marriage, and in the life of her daughter. She prayed she'd be able to help her child, one more time out of the countless trouble she was getting herself into.
Freshly showered and dressed she walked into the kitchen and waited for her daughter's next call. The time clicked to 6:00AM, as she drained her coffee cup for the second time.
OOC:
The next “hour” could be anyone... the father, the daughter, the person or persons that are behind the daughter's trouble, or something entirely different that could be worked into the story. OOC here and if there is interest, I'll make up a separate thread. An OOC will be important so we can keep the hours straight, as well as allowing people to come in. I think putting your “hour of time” in the title of your post will also help, or at least mentioning it, in the post somewhere.
You would need to do a bit of writing to feel your hour, this first hour is short, because I don't want to assign names or actions to the daughter or the father, as each character is brought to surface, then the posts may become longer.
The nice part about this is, if someone leaves and no longer posts, they are done at the end of the 24 hour segment.
Sheila Winters, 40 years old, married, one daughter
Blonde hair, and brown eyes
5'8", fit, but not overly skinny, a very healthy woman who enjoys working out when she has the time

... I think the hardest part may be having to move someone's character... I'm still tackling that one.... I think it can be done, and if you get someone who suddenly leave they can easily be forgotten within the next series of 24 Hours.
