Lore
❝Oh look. Another glorious morning. ❞
Over 300 years ago, legend has it that in Salem, Massachusetts, three witches: The Sanderson Sisters lived in the neck of the woods, away from civilisation. The sisters' cottage was a place to never venture into as an agreement was placed between the Salem villagers and the witches. The agreement stated that The Sanderson Sisters will leave the Salem villagers alone as long as the witches can do whatever they pleased in their forest. However, that agreement only lasted for a short period of time. . .
Rumors of The Sanderson Sisters' terror against another village ran rampant. What the villagers in Salem feared soon came to light. People began disappearing slowly, but, without proof, the Salem villagers could do nothing but wait for The Sanderson Sisters to mess up their agreement and take them down.
But, at what cost?
It wasn't until children slowly started disappearing and in particular: one of the Elder's from Salem's daughter, did things escalate quickly. Lured into the forest by a hypnotising and alluring song, the young child followed the witch into the cottage. With the help of the Eldest Sanderson Sisters' spell-book, The Sanderson Sisters made a potion and had only one goal in mind: to kill children - taking their life force - and by doing so, they will be able to gain immortality as well as maintain their beauty and youth.
But, it was too late for the young child. Before the Eldest daughter of one of the Salem Elder could save her little sister, The Sanderson Sisters achieved their goal successfully: reverting their age by killing the child. It is only when they kill as many children as they could would they be able to gain immortality. The eldest daughter fought against the witches only to be cursed by The Eldest Sanderson Sister to live forever with her guilt of not being able to protect her little sister.
The Salem villagers managed to invade The Sanderson Sisters' cottage, catching them. But, before they were hung, The Sanderson Sisters casted one last spell:
"Thrice I with mercury purify and spit upon the tables. Ah! Fools! All of you! My ungodly book speaks to you. During All Hallows month when the moon is round, a virgin will summon us from under the ground! Ohh! Ohhh! We shall be back!"
Despite the Elder asking the witches what happened to his eldest daughter, the witches refused to give a direct answer, only stating, "Cat's got my tongue!" With the witches hanged and killed, refusing to believe their words, the Salem villagers proceeded to leave but not without a black cat attempting to catch the attention of the Elder before the cat was kicked away.
❝ . . .Into a land of enchantment ❞
Plot
❝ It’s a full moon tonight. That’s when all the weirdos are out ❞
With skepticism and a dare made by classmates, the new kid and the others make their way to the old Sanderson cottage to see what will happen. Call it stupidity or teenage shenanigans, the group heads into the cottage, messing around with the items inside. But, what happens when the legends are true?
The Black Flame candle is lit by the new kid and within matter of minutes, the witches arise from the dead! Will Salem be thrust into another horror-filled reign by the Sanderson Sisters or will the group be able to save Salem and children before it's too late?
Author's Note
❝Couldn't you forget about being a cool teenager for one night? ❞
Although Hocus Pocus is set for only one night, I think having the roleplay start out in the middle of October would be a great start so that our characters can grow, interact, and have a good ol' horror-filed time! Because there are changes that I made personally to turn this into a roleplay, we won't be following along closely to the plot event of the movie!
This roleplay will have mature themes because I do expect this to be a bit darker than the original.
Note: The Sanderson Sisters will not understand any of the 21st century technological advancements and pop culture. I think it'll be fun to see them interact with the world they aren't used to living in!
General Housekeeping Rules
❝ Book! Come to Mommy! ❞
Please note that in-character drama should stay there and out of the out-of-character chat area. If there's an issue, please take it to private message and feel free to include me in the message so that we can resolve it together. Don't hesitate to reach out if there's any questions or concerns!
Romance is not a must or a requirement! But, if it so happens that relationships starts blooming then that’s wonderful!
Please drop a comment in this thread if you're interested and what role you're gong for!
Roleplay Information
❝ Amok! Amok! Amok! ❞
Unfortunately, this is not first-come, first-serve. There will be an application process and a due date! Once the due date approaches, sign-ups will be closed and based on the applicants, I will choose the characters that I believe will best fit the roleplay! [ Eep, this is the hardest part ! But, I want everyone to get an equal fair chance of applying for a role ! ]
You may apply for two roles, however, the roles must be different. For example, if you already applied for "The Believer", you can not apply for it again. Only one character will be chosen for each player!
Please use realistic face-claims but if you’re not comfortable with using realistic faceclaims, feel free to describe your character! There’s going to be an appearance area on the sheet! For the Sanderson sisters, only their surname will be kept the same, you are free to change their first name. [ Note: The witches will look around mid-20s to late 20s while the others are 18-21 years old. The 'chosen one' will be the youngest approx. 16 years old.]
Although there are roles, the roles are used as vague character guidelines to help the plot and story! But, you are free to make up their names, personality, in-depth history, etc.! Go crazy and have fun!
As stated above, please reach out to me and the members of this roleplay. This roleplay will rely on a lot of character-driven actions and ideas so communication is a must. I expect there to be a lot of plotting going on in the out-of-character! I have quite a few plots and events that'll move and engage the story, however, this roleplay will not just rely on me as a GM but also you as players! [ Note: There will be a discord for out-of-character chats, however, it will be sent once acceptances are out ]
Posting Information
❝ I smell children~ ❞
As long as your post is readable and understandable, everything will be fine and dandy. The only minimum requirement is that your post should be at least be [ 2 ] paragraphs so that others can have something to work with when writing their post!
There will be no posting order in this roleplay, however, please wait at least [ 2 ] post after you have posted to post again so that way there wouldn't be any back and forth. Other than that, please feel free to post as much as you like and as needed.
The roleplay will be divided into "chapters" or even "episodes". There will be a "task" or a "goal" in each "episode" to help guide the players in a direction. But, how you achieve the goal is up to you and your characters. There will be a " time duration" of how long the "episodes" will take. For example, the beginning "episode" will start out with your characters' starting post. The time limit of how long we will stay on this specific scene will be "one week" and so forth. Depending on the players, the time duration on how long we will stay on scene will change. [ Every 'chapter' or 'episode' is considered a scene change or time skip, etc. ]
