    "The Upper East Side was like something from Fitzgerald or Thackeray – teenagers acting like adults, adults acting like teenagers, guarding secrets, spreading gossip all with the trappings of truly opulent wealth. And membership into this community was so elite you couldn’t even buy your way in. It was a birthright – a birthright that I didn’t have. And my greatest achievements would never earn it.”

    — Gossip Girl

    P L O T

    The Upper East Side of New York City is like a world stuck in it’s own little bubble - a little bubble filled with wealth, drama, adults acting like children and children acting like adults. To outsiders, the Upper East Side is a fantasy. They know it exists, but they have a hard time believing the things they hear about that are said to go down between the socialites. Some outsiders have managed to break through the bubble and join the life of the elites, whether its attending school on a scholarship, or starting a new job, there are those few who didn’t grow up with money. From a young age, children on the Upper East Side are thrown into the whirlwind life of the rich and famous. They attend lavish parties, exciting balls, even the fundraising events that seem boring, always end with the revealing of an affair, or a relative who you thought was dead showing up and revealing their big elaborate scheme. It sounds like something out of the movies, but for the residents of the Upper East Side this is their everyday reality. This RPG is based on the St. Augustine High School for boys & girls. A school for the brightest and richest students on the Upper East Side. Some children get in on a scholarship, but that's rare. Follow the young adults on their dramatic, exiting and tragic lives.

    Students are required to wear their uniform whenever they find themselves on schoolgrounds, this rule is taken very seriously. They are, however, allowed to wear regular clothing when they are on trips and outings, these clothes must comply with the dresscode!

    Sophomores: 15 to 16 years old.

    We all know the infamous blog Gossip Girl, however, the Gossip Queen has gotten pretty modern. She has ditched her old blog for a new one, based on tumblr. From now on, gossip will be posted from that platform, and everyone can read it. GossipGirl's new posts will have a url leading to them on her twitter, which will be used to submit gossip. A twitter account is necessary for the characters, as this will be their form to interact with GG (and eachother!) via social media.

    GossipGirl's Links
    Tumblr — click (i worked really hard on this shit, so i hope it works!)
    Twitter — click
    Find posts/Submit posts by using the tags: #GossipGirlQuizlet (general shade) & #GossipGirlQBlast (major info!)
    Blasts can be found via the "tags"-page on tumblr & on twitter.

    Up with the sun. Gone with the wind.

    Would it be possible to re-use my role I used for the original RPG? I quite liked my role, but barely got the chance to use it since the RPG died fast.

    Yeah, sure! OOC is allowed in dutch by the way! (;

    Het enige wat je dan nog moet toevoegen is een twitteraccount!

    Nah, I prefer talking in English anyway haha. Then I'd like to reserve a senior girl :Y)

    Awesome! Ik kan alleen pas mijn rol maken als mijn laptop gerepareerd is (wat waarschijnlijk zaterdag wordt). Ik hoop dat dat geen probleem is x

    Senior jongen kan meteen, senior meisje moet op de wachtlijst. Kan lang duren! Ben nu in Den Haag, dus kan het niet bijwerken. (:

    Yes, het is nodig als vorm van communicatie. Maar je hoeft niet super actief te zijn!

    Ik maak vaak een nieuw hotmail adress aan voor mn karakters als ik ze sociale media moet geven, inderdaad om de reden dat al die berichtjes mn inbox dan bespaart blijven. T kost maar een paar clicks en dan heb je ook wat (;
