hey everyone. this isn't the kind of announcement i would like to make — especially considering how we've only just started.

but the haus of red will be closing its doors due to a family emergency the admins gave to take care of. thank you for everything, for the time and the opportunity to share this little rp with you all. it means a lot.

thank you for all your questions, your kind words, everything. maybe one day we will be back.

FREDERICK AUGUSTIN, 72, HAS DIED.

For once, the circulation of information brings credits of truth with it: the man who pushed boundaries, created abstract silhouettes from traditional fabrics, and had no fear about deciding what beauty meant — has passed away on January 5th, 2024. It is with great sorrow that we announce this news to his beloved Haus of Red, its sister-writer in Superbia, and all those who live on the streets graced by the great shadow of Mr. Augustin. Or so — that's what the obituary says. Now, there is one less man to ask for clarification on rumours. Now, there is one less obstacle in the way of those who wish to claim the Haus for their own. Now, there is another rung empty on the great ladder for somebody else to climb. And if you thought his funeral wasn't going to be memorable? Think again, darlings. Just as his life had an impact across the world, so will his memorial. Superbia Magazine's Editor-in-Chief, Daria Ahn, has made the following statement: "Today, a light in our world has forever gone out. Frederick Augustin was equal parts mentor as he was creator. He leaves behind a mark that many will not soon forget. We, even at Superbia, will greatly feel his absence." ( but is it really that simple? ) And what do you have to say? Inquiring minds want to know.

OOC INFORMATION.

Welcome to our first plot drop! We are kicking things off with the death of the fashion mogul, Frederick Augustin. Your threads can be both general ones and/or concern his (un?)timely passing, be around/near his memorial service, etc. If you are involved in the subplot, the death of frederick augustin, consider this your time to start seeing if there really is a mystery behind the unannounced cause.

Now, Frederick was notorious in life. He's going to have a notorious funeral. The following muses will be doing something that will risk their notoriety to rise — or fall. We do hope it's worth it.

Vance Aldridge: drowned his sorrows with a model in a bathroom stall

Alexandra Jeolla: spoke up too soon, too loud, too much

Ezequiel Matias Gúzman: has one of the worst takes ever

Evrim Cemil: couldn't keep her sticky hands to herself

Voss Vanburen: who knows what terrible things he's overheard

Virge Oshita: walked in wearing — well, that. (a horror from the haus's vault)

Miles Morgan: shed a single, golden tear before fleeing mid-prayer

Gabriela Muñoz-Ramírez: arrived late and tripped? what a sham

Ford Gatete & Sheila Donovan: who knows what they said in their grief

We will be coin-flipping to see how these acts affect their notoriety on January 31st. Then, in February, they will be moving on with a new reputation behind them — for better or for worse in this unsteady climate. This is the first time we will be trying out the notoriety system so please be patient with us as we see how it plays out!

If you have any questions, would like your muse to be involved in another way, and so forth, you can ask us admins in the Discord. Otherwise, have a terribly beautiful time, darling. You'll need the good memories to last you.

[hausofredhq]

✦ ・— Did you hear? CASSANDRA BARLOW is looking for someone. Well, you didn't hear it from me but +1 wanted connection was added. Don't go spreading rumors, though.

Wish they would bore someone else with this but CASSANDRA BARLOW ( margot robbie )  is looking for their ON/OFF AFFAIR AND LONGTIME COLLABORATOR. Right? Ugh! They said they were about 32+ and looked kind of like RYAN GOSLING, YAHYA ABDUL-MATEEN II, OLIVER JACKSON COHEN, MANNY JACINTO, KIERAN CULKIN, JAMIE DORNAN, ALEXANDER SKARSGARD, ALDIS HODGE, REACH OUT FOR MORE. I heard it was ROMANTIC. Here’s what they told me: [ this muse would very likely be a photographer, a prominent one at that, but anything else that fits the vibe could work, too! they essentially met cassandra on her first ever photoshoot when she was getting into the modeling/fashion world and the two of them have been incapable of staying away from each other ever since. all the best and most iconic photos of cassandra have been taken by him, and they've been going on a decade of being unable to stay apart from each other while being unable to define exactly what they are - messy! a lot of passion, creative collaboration, fights, etc. ] Between you and me, though, they should get back to work. This show isn’t going to stop just for them! And if you see them, YOU DON’T HAVE TO let @dolcedulcet know. That’s all.

[hausofredhq]

✦ ・— Oh, finally. I thought @dolcedulcet bumped their pretty head on the pavement trying to get here. Let's hope they're up to date with that checklist. I expect to see an introduction soon — oh, let's say 48 hours with the tag #haushq.intro. That's all.

[hausofredhq]

✦ ・— Oh, finally. I thought @nlghtswlm bumped their pretty head on the pavement trying to get here. Let's hope they're up to date with that checklist. I expect to see an introduction soon — oh, let's say 48 hours with the tag #haushq.intro. That's all.

[hausofredhq]

✦ ・—Oh, my. Was that VOSS VANBUREN ( tom ellis. ) I saw heading into THE HAUS OF RED? With those shoes? I guess even those who work in fashion can make a bad choice. Let's just hope they can work it. After all, this opportunity is something millions would kill for. Welcome to the HAUS OF RED, PB— please send your account in within 24 hours. Oh, and don't forget to review the checklist. That's all.

✦ ・— [ tom ellis. cismale. he/him. ] || OMG! Was that VOSS VANBUREN wearing the new Chanel boots? Hard to believe that a FASHION DESIGNER could afford those. Ugh, I hate to say it but they kind of pull it off. When you’re 43 YEARS OLD, I guess you think you can do anything. They’ve only been in fashion for at least 20 YEARS and I’ve heard that they’re PASSIONATE and WHIMSICAL but don’t believe everything you read! According to THE HAUS OF RED, they’re actually IMPULSIVE and VAIN. Ha! Well, I hope they know a million others would kill to be them. They better be watching their back. That’s all. || [ pb. 26. they/them. cst. ]

Their Current Rank: 3 stars.

✦ ・— Did you hear? OSCAR ACOSTA is looking for someone. Well, you didn't hear it from me but +2 wanted connections were added. Don't go spreading rumors, though.

Wish they would bore someone else with this but OSCAR ACOSTA ( pedro pascal )  is looking for their FIANCE. Right? Ugh! They said they were about 35+ and looked kind of like STEVEN YEUN, OSCAR ISAAC, OR MURRAY BARTLET. I heard it was ROMANTIC. Here’s what they told me: the one that oscar tried so so hard to pretend he wasn't in love with while dating someone else. that, however, was an utter failure. your muse and oscar met through similar friends (should have a connection with ex-wife/best friend connection! they were all friends!) and hit it off. they were incredible friends but both danced around one another for years, neither convinced their attraction was more than intense friendship for a while. they were oscar's inspiration through their fashion endeavors and often model for him now. are they involved in what oscar has done to rise to fame, even if it meant to hurt someone? your choice! i would love to see this relationship absolutely put THROUGH IT but come out on the other side, no matter what they've done.i see this character as super sweet, supportive, keeps oscar laughing and positive when he's drowning in work stress. probably an artist that oscar often features in the ZEEN gallery! Between you and me, though, they should get back to work. This show isn’t going to stop just for them! And if you see them, YOU CAN BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO let @wutherngs know. That’s all.

Wish they would bore someone else with this but OSCAR ACOSTA ( pedro pascal )  is looking for their CONFIDANT / BEST FRIEND. Right? Ugh! They said they were about 35+ and looked kind of like UTP. I heard it was PLATONIC. Here’s what they told me: [ listen - everyone has an ex before they realize they're gay. this one? this is it. she and oscar dated for a few years but something was never right. sure, they loved one another, but it was like pulling teeth to keep the romance aspect alive. they were a power couple, though, dammit, "what a shame!" the magazines report about their end! they were two fashion gurus that often collaborated for incredible lines. she is just as messy as he is, but their lives have forked in different directions. they've been broken up for around two years but are still as close as ever. they just realized they're far better off as friends. on her end, there never any hard feelings - not when oscar finally confessed what he discovered about himself. today, your muse is one of oscar's most trusted confidants. platonic soulmates? yes. ] Between you and me, though, they should get back to work. This show isn’t going to stop just for them! And if you see them, YOU CAN BUT YOU DON’T HAVE TO let @wutherngs know. That’s all.

[hausofredhq]

WAIT is this open already?!🥺

hello hello! YES! we are open and accepting applications! the admins are turning in for the evening but please feel free to submit your application! we will get it tomorrow asap!

[hausofredhq]

✦ ・— Did you hear? OWEN BURR is looking for someone. Well, you didn't hear it from me but +1 wanted connection was added. Don't go spreading rumors, though.

Wish they would bore someone else with this but OWEN BURR ( aaron tveit ) is looking for their BOYFRIEND. Right? Ugh! They said they were about 35-40 and looked kind of like UTP. I heard it was ROMANTIC. Here’s what they told me: Owen and Y/M have been together for the past two years, with Y/M being Owen's first boyfriend, and things have been relatively smooth sailing. The only problem? Ambition. Y/M wants much more than what they currently have, and Owen has always hated having so much. It causes disagreements sometimes, but nothing explosive. Now with everything shaken up, it's the perfect chance for Y/M to gain some more recognition. Hopefully they can still support each other through it all? Any occupation or affiliation. We can decide more details together! Between you and me, though, they should get back to work. This show isn’t going to stop just for them! And if you see them, YOU CAN let @THINKITOVERR know. That’s all.

[hausofredhq]

✦ ・— Well, you didn't hear it from me but +4 wanted connections were added. Don't go spreading rumors, though.

Wish they would bore someone else with this but MILES MORGAN ( jesse williams )  is looking for their SEMI SEPERATED PARTNER. Right? Ugh! They said they were about 37-43 and looked kind of like ANY/UTP BUT POSSIBLY DICHEN LACHMAN, AUBREY PLAZA, WINSTON DUKE, JOHN KRASINSKY, ETC. I heard it was ROMANTIC CONNECTION. Here’s what they told me: with news of an affair only starting to now quiet back down, miles is trying to make amends and patch the marriage, and get his partner back. maybe they are pregnant or they were planning to adopt - or maybe they have children already, maybe not. whatever the case, miles doesn't want to lose your muse, or his family, and though they live in separate houses right now, they keep finding each other in bed again. this might be the most they have seen of each other for years, honestly - work has kept them both busy, leading them to grow apart, which was what led to the affair in the first place. bonus points if your muse was stepping out in secret, too! maybe they don't feel the love reignited, maybe they do, everything else can be plotted out. this does not need to have a happy ending, we can let chemistry decide, but i'm open to alot! Between you and me, though, they should get back to work. This show isn’t going to stop just for them! And if you see them, YOU CAN let @crestfallon know. That’s all.

Wish they would bore someone else with this but MILES MORGAN ( jesse williams )  is looking for their EX-LOVER TURNED SOUR. Right? Ugh! They said they were about 33-37 and looked kind of like ANY/UTP BUT POSSIBLY CONSIDER AMANDA SEYFRIED, MENA MASSOUD, THEO JAMES, MEGHANN FAHEY. I heard it was ANTAGONISTIC CONNECTION. Here’s what they told me: the cut and dry? miles was a stepping stone for this muse and he knew it from the get go and just didn't care. the two worked together closely for the haus of red, likely in a design capacity, and it didn't take long for the sparks to fly. he was unhappy in a failing marriage, and your muse desperate to get his elite, long-standing connections, or a leg up in the company, or something else, it's utp. they had a secret affair, but recently, the press blew their cover. now, miles has distanced himself entirely, and has iced out their secret lover. but... maybe your muse isn't done yet, maybe miles isn't done yet. they can hardly work together, and both have hurt feelings after everything, and there is a lot left unsaid. Between you and me, though, they should get back to work. This show isn’t going to stop just for them! And if you see them, YOU CAN let @crestfallon know. That’s all.

Wish they would bore someone else with this but RAYAN RAFIQ ( riz ahmed )  is looking for their RIDE OR DIES/STAFF (MAXIMUM OF TWO). Right? Ugh! They said they were about 30+ and looked kind of like ANY/UTP BUT POSSIBLY CONSIDER LEVY TRAN, JEREMY ALLEN WHITE, LEWIS TAN, AUBREY PLAZA, ETC. I heard it was PLATONIC. Here’s what they told me: five years ago, ray bought the tattoo shop and saved it from bankrupting, but it came at great personal cost. he is not easy on his team, but he will go to bat for them. it's together that these two friends built inkognito into what it is now. every new recruit, or long term artist, is important to ray - and for his best friend, who wants into the fashion industry just as much as him, he'd stop at nothing. they've been in this together for 5 years but ray wants to take it a step further, and maybe break some rules. is your muse on board? Between you and me, though, they should get back to work. This show isn’t going to stop just for them! And if you see them, YOU DON’T HAVE TO let @crestfallon know. That’s all.
