S.P.I.D.E.R. Puzzles and Escape Rooms (Signups)

Welcome to S.P.I.D.E.R., Equestria's wonderful world of puzzles! (Not really, it's just a business for puzzle-makers.) I'm Professor Venturer, the CEO of SPIDER. If you're wondering why this is called SPIDER, it's an acronym: Stunning Puzzles and Intelligence-Defining Escape Rooms. Kinda like TARDIS: Time And Relative Dimension In Space. Looking to apply for a job? Well, come on in and join the business!

Here's how to navigate:

There are three sections of the business:

• The Puzzles
  • It's divided into two sections: the shop where customers can test their wits by solving the puzzles (and shop for gifts, of course), and the workshop where the puzzles are made.
• The Escape Rooms
  • There are two hallways that lead to different rooms (need I say more?). Some rooms are "under construction", and will be noted with a sign that says so. The ones without the signs... well, you get the point.
• My office
  • Where you present your ideas. Or tell me your thoughts about me and get yourself fired. Also where I do my work.
• The restrooms are just to the right of the reception desk.

First, let me get a few rules cleared up:

1. I'd rather you not slack off at all. I don't want to have to be Benson.
2. Don't ever flirt with the customers. Unless if they do happen to be your crush. But if you're dishonest, I'll have a fit.
3. Absolutely. Positively. NO PDA! Period. No holding hands/hooves/claws/whatnot, no kissing, no hugging, no buts, no cuts, no coconuts.
4. Whenever you're in or witness conflict, come to me. I'll help to find ways to resolve it.
5. Now, whenever someone has an idea for a puzzle or escape room, they must present their ideas to me. If it's an escape room, it must be approved in order for you to plan out the blueprint and how the puzzles will connect. The project must have a fitting deadline for you to work on it. If it's unfinished by the end of the time zone, it will be cancelled.

Roleplay Rules:

The only rule is to also respect the TV Tropes Forum Rules. Also, this is meant to be a television-comedy-esque roleplay, like Austin & Ally, Two and a Half Men, and M*A*S*H.

Also, keep profanity to a minimum. See the third post for the lingo for this roleplay.

Kapeesh? Good. Now, onward! We have a lot of puzzles to make and rooms to encrypt!

How to sign up:

Name:

Backstory:

Personality:

Which job are you applying for?

Name: Professor Venturer

Backstory: I was originally human and lived a good life on Earth. Then a rift sucked me up and I landed on the planet Gallifrey. There, I helped the Time Lords defeat an army of Sontarans, which led the Lord President of Gallifrey to reluctantly reward me with my own gadgets, including a TARDIS. Of course, I had to go through several years of schooling in the Time Lord Academy first. But by the time that was over, I was free to travel the universe. And then the chameleon arch glitched on me, so I became both a Time Lord and a human. A few years later, my best friend introduced me to Equestria, and after some time of being there, I became a unicorn. More time later, I met Pinkamena, and a few months later, here I am as a pegasus now.

Personality: I'm actually autistic. I am a Time Lord, a puzzle-maker, and a father. I'm usually comedic, but if someone ticks me off, I could lose it. I try not to get myself into the Villains Wiki, so I fear if I make any horrible mistake... Murphy's Law. I'm usually very loyal, and I go along with my friends on many adventures (but barely participate other than saying "Okay" or "yes" or "oh my god" or etc. ). But yeah, I usually love to hang out with my friends.

I'm the *feep*ing CEO, dammit!!

Name: Reverie Diamondah Cups. Although you can just call me Reverie Cups.

Backstory: I moved out out from Great Bridle to Ponyville for personal reasons. I have 6 months worth of experience volunteering at a library in Great Bridle called "Hoofton Crop Library", and at the moment I work at the Canterlot Archives as an assistant, as well as a staff member in a secret bar, located in Canterlot- I'm not allowed to give out its name. I'm currently still a student at Celestia's School For Gifted Unicorns. I need this job since I now live alone.

Personality: Reverie is a rather quiet pony who tends to resort to neighing instead of talking, as he feels more comfortable doing so. Although he'll sometimes drop it when speaking formally or if he's more comfortable around your presence, amongst others. Despite his poker-face, it's rather easy to get him to laugh and smile. He simply has a tough time expressing his emotions after locking them away for so long. He's rather knowledgeable in the Equestrian lore and magic, also. If you have trouble with the paranormal or magic, or you're having trouble with a mystery that needs solving, he's the guy you want.

I'm applying as a Security Guard.

Personality: Although she's a chair, she's sentient, can fight, and is an alcoholic. She can be very sarcastic, too. She barely moves, but does have thoughts.

She's the manager.
