So... this is gonna be hard for me.

I'm Trans (male to female) and live with my Mom and siblings. When she found out things got quite toxic but worked out to being able to live at home and keep going to Uni. I've kept things fairly stable, no confrontations I don't have to take, seeing a counsellor who has actually been quite helpful for me though I don't think Mom understands that he's not helping me the way she wants. Things had been going fairly well... for the most part. I recently (2 hours ish) had to confront my mom about why some of my Books from my Bookshelf were missing. These books were the released physical of a Webcomic called Rain by Jocelyn Samara. (You can check her out on Deviant Art) She said she got rid of them because they made her sick to her stomach. Then stated she had also been most annoyed at discovering I had taken quite a bit of money out of my bank accout. (She doesn't know why, I won't tell her, but it was to help a friend stranded in Vancouver get home. Full details aren't something I want to share right now.)

The arguement continued for a bit, her getting QUITE mad when I questioned the legality of throwing out my property (which I'm still working on proving is illegal but can only find stuff for Minors. I'm 18 so I don't think I qualify there. Help would be nice (Canada, BC)) And has now given the big stink of as long as I have the car I better pay for Gas and the insurance (which I do, though when she offers to pay for a tank I take it which seems to have offended her even more somehow...) Essentially things are getting into a downward spiral slowly but surely to th point of threats to try searching my laptop. (Which after this and previous things I've done password changes on again repeatedly for everything)

Essentially... I've gotten to the point of thinking of packing up, quitting Uni, getting all the student loan money I still have to find a place and pay off debts, and then having a job and essentially working my way out of debt and out of my Mom's influence. It is drastic and I'm going to be spending quite a bit of time figuring things out in advance... but Its looking ugly and I'm starting to panic a little. (Emotional Ugly. Nothing physical but I know that happens to others...)

I just... I need advice from as many people as possible at this stage. Thank you for reading.

Heard something funny or amusing? As long as its not offensive, POST AWAY!

((Before you post hate for copying Cheesecake, please read through, or skip to the note at the bottom.))

You are a new innkeeper, having the family inn given to you after you father was imprisoned for various crimes. Your inn is in the Hamlet of Origins, or Hoo, in the continent of Aegeron [Ee-ger-on], a land polluted with black magic and foul monsters. Humanity in the region seemed doomed, until an event known as the Dawn caused average humans from other continents to magically appear in Aegeron and gain superhuman abilities. They are known as Heroes.

Inns are created to help Heroes, give them information on Bosses, buy and sell loot, give them advice and directions, and to provide food and lodging. Your inn is located in the Hamlet of Origins, and your inn is one of two in the fair town. Your job is to nudge them along, supply and arm, and motivate them to defeat the first Boss. You must give them Quests, and reward them accordingly. To gain the funds to create rewards, general NPC customers appear daily. They buy food and drink, and pay you in GP.

((This is an Innkeeper game following quite similar rules to the one run by Cheesecake. I have contacted him and he has given me permission to run this. This Inn will be run as something of a rival of Ye Tree Meld. As is the case with different Gms, my flavor will differ from Cheesecakes, so bear with me))

We all started RPing in the ooc thread so i decided to try moving it here before scap gets on our cases. please continue.

You can also join in if your waitlisted or dead for some laughs.

Its 3 months since it all started. Every capital city in the world was overrun in an hour, the surrounding cities in 4. The whole world was fully enveloped in the plague in under 24 hours. Now the only hope for humanity are small groups of survivors like your own. Welcome to the apocalypse people, how long can you survive?

Hello survivors! This is an apocalypse game where your goal is to last as long as possible. Most actions will be determined via rolls from a random number generator. There will be several fundamental rules i will be inforcing to keep things from going downhill which will be stated below. Mainly, just don't kill eachother please.
