Plot: A strange portal has opened up in a local coffee shop's unisex bathroom, much to the surprise of the shop's regular patrons. One by one they cross back and forth from one world to another, extremely confused as to what is happening to them and why it's happening at all. It's up to the shop owners to figure out the source of the portal, where it leads, and how they can stop it from consuming their customers. This is a normal afternoon in the lives of these city folk.

Characters:

Name: Mr. Steinman
Age: 74
Description: Senile old man who moved to the city from Brooklyn with his wife, and believes that the little coffee shop is actually his living room. He is fairly ornery, often making lude comments to the shop owners and their employees, and even other patrons - but despite all of that, they all still love him.

Name: Mrs. Steinman
Age: 72
Description: Mr. Steinman's wife of 62 years, who is old, but not quite as senile as he. She also as a strangled grip on reality, but seems to understand her surroundings better than the mister. She is very sweet, but can be irritated easily. Everyone loves her, as well.

Name: Cera
Age: 18
Description: Somewhat detached teenage girl who took a job as a cashier at the coffee shop for the summer in order to save money for college. She is sweet and well-rounded, but sometimes finds herself lost in her own little world, creating her idealistic realities and notions. She is quiet, but likable.

Name: Kayden
Age: 19
Description: Misguided young college student who took to coming to the coffee shop (on a daily basis) after he realized Cera was working there. He seems to be quite enamoured of her, and enjoys sitting and writing long poems praising her beauty and his idealistic romances with her.

More Info: to appease you people;

I would love people to make up some of their own characters - that's part of the fun. Everyone is affected by "the portal" in different ways, and I find it's more effectively described when writing from your own perspective.


The store owners have yet to be created, so, for any adventurous people out there who would like to create them, please do.


Here's the thing about the portal; it randomly transports people from one place to another in the blink of an eye, without any warning. I would be pretty confused after that as well. I'm thinking that everyone, depending on who they are, is transported to a different world, whether that be their own personal heaven or hell, I dunno. You create.

Basically I want people to create these characters and these worlds for themselves, where they're all tied in together but not, at the same time.

Okay; I will write under the Steinmans, plus two more;

Name: Jessica
Age: 18
Description: Stereotypical, pretty young "popular" girl who enjoys spending her evenings in the coffee shop, scoping out potential husbands. She's a bit on the dumb side, only allowing the thoughts of the latest trends and materialistic gains enter her head. No one really likes her.

Name: Earl
Age: 35
Description: Quiet, introverted college professor who seems to have a profound understanding of the events in the coffee shop, despite the pandemonium around him.
