Your character just found themselves in a room. The walls are lined with doors (with whatever place you want behind the doors), there's a kitchen to one side, and there never seems to be too few couches for everyone. You can bring your characters in from any world or story; the formatting should go something like this
Note that the conversations DO NOT have to be in real-time. Therefore, if someone pulls a knife fifteen posts after your characters last reaction, you don't have to ignore those fifteen lines of conversation. Just quote what your character is replying to before their reaction. (In some of these places there is a no-violence rule... Jaye?)
If you want, you can do a nice little character profile (e.g. Name, physical appearance, any weapons or companions), or you can just say, "Frank: *eighteen, dark-haired and blue-eyed, walks in*". Whichever works best for you! And now... let the characters enter!

Skylar: *Blonde, around eighteen, piercing green eyes, stumbles in through one of the doorways* *with twin daggers drawn, looks around warily and slightly panicked* Where am I? What is this place?

(In some of these places there is a no-violence rule... Jaye?) I'd say some violence is okay (you know some of my characters ), just nothing over the top.

Alfhere: *a lad of around fourteen years, with wavy light brown hair tied back into a ponytail, yet still continually falling in his brown eyes, and a grin* *saunters in, glancing around* *sees Skylar* Hey.
((Oh, by the way, he's wearing a medieval tunic and pants, and is carrying no visible weapons.))

Clara: *About sixteen, not quite five-foot, blonde hair, blue eyes, athletic build, and a facial structure to indicate asian heritage, Steps in.* Oh, great, another one of THESE rooms. *glances about* Well, Kendra's not here this time, so I guess I can count my blessings.

Clara: *And I forgot to specify that she's wearing a blue medieval-esque tunic and leggings, sapphire ring and circlet, and has a sword strapped to her waist* Clara, otherwise known as the Water Princess. I see they have a kitchen here. What you wanna bet that Andrew's already there?

Alfhere: *shrugs* I kind of like it in these rooms. *walks over to him* I'm Alfhere. *beat* Well, my father calls me Alfhere, my mother calls me Oliver, my captain calls me boy, and my nurse called me brat. *grins* You can pick any of the above. *extends his hand to shake* Who're you?

Clara: Andrew, the Fire Prince. He's my ... *finger's ring a moment* well, I'd rather not talk about that part of the book at the moment. Anyways, the last time we were in a room like this, he spent most of the time in the kitchen making spaghetti. *Notices Swithin* Oh, hey! Same here. These rooms are an author's favorite form of torture, yes? *Storms over to the kitchen door and sticks her head inside.*

Clara: *leans against the wall* When are the authors not involved? I know I'm a bit more self-aware than most characters, but can't you smell you just smell their involvement in this room? Can't you see how it shimmers at the corners, like it isn't quite reality? How it seems to go on and on, and yet all be here at the same time. I can tell you now, that kitchen isn't ever going to run out of food. This is a character chat room, no doubt about it.

Clara: It's a room where authors toss the characters they "like" for "character development." The last one I was in, the authors came too, but either way you cut it, they aren't fun.

Skylar: *groans* Perfect. A new form of torture, courtesy of Era. *begins pacing, muttering dark threats against her author*
(Almost all of my characters call me Era, just for the record.)

Clara: *to Kaelan* Joy to you too, I guess. *to Skylar* so far this place isn't as bad as others. *shrugs* But let's not give the authors any ideas. Just be interesting and then maybe they won't force us to be, you know?
