WELCOME & AU PLANNING - MAY 2017

[cordibus]

WELCOME TO THE FIRST PLANNING POST!

Congratulations on being accepted into the game. Now let's have a big meeting post, plan and have fun together!

AU PLANNING

The AU in this game is completely player's choice. We encourage you to take a look at the city and plan accordingly! Your AU information can be added to your character hub, should you desire. As long as it is available somewhere, and others can take a quick glance and know what the character's AU is.

We only ask that you try to keep everything tasteful and respect our decision if we feel you're going too far. As the game begins, you are free to continue using this post to plan or ask the mods first-post related questions. We'll do our best to answer in a timely manner!

The city of Eddan is very much a typical metropolis, so your characters can have any job that would make sense in a busy city. They don't have to be restricted to the school, or have a school job. If you're not sure, don't be shy about asking. There's a lot of freedom!

Roll the dice

There is also a randomized AU signup if you'd like to leave it to chance who your family members are and establish pre-game CR with new people. But if you'd rather leave it for now and wait for other app turns, that's also fine!

GAME START

The first log will be posted on MAY 13TH. Please vote on what time you want it to be posted. We'll go with player majority! (As a note, this will be done for all rounds).

While "Ciro" is a few years too young to be any sort of rival, he's a fellow library lurker when not attending gardening club. In the last year(ish), he's been learning how to cook and bake better- especially the latter, because it's easier to gift people pastries than a whole meal. So it's possible that she's seen him looking up books in the library besides his usual studying/schoolwork... Or definitely seen him around with his siblings who also attend the school.

(One of them, Makoto, is definitely in the game- their "little sister" wasn't able to get in this app round.)

So there's all that, if you're interested!

I am very interested!

Shinjiro's player and I discussed it a little over plurk, but I think for Michelle, there's the weird fascination but frustration with home economics and the like. Because Michelle herself? Can't cook, and has a lot of associations tied to her mother, who IS a baker, and who Michelle never feels she can match.

Which is to say that someone who can cook and bake, or is studying how to do so in the library, will probably catch her attention!

....Michelle are you just going to stare at him while he's checking out baking recipe books

is he going to have to call his big brother

[1in_perfection]

It's not staring, it's observing. And maybe reminiscing while observing, and thus giving the impression that she's staring. But it's nothing as uncouth as just staring thankyouverymuch.

I love this character, even when she's got a fake ID and memories.

[kokuyoyo]

that sounds like the same thing to him, but okay. He'd absolutely have just straight up confronted her after a little while tho lmao. "Did you want this book or something?" etc

[1in_perfection]

Which would probably lead to Michelle making some excuse of "OH, I thought that was a different book. Turns out it wasn't, quite the embarrassing error, isn't it?"

...And then trying to very carefully keep her distance from then on. With varying degrees of success.

She is going to be a delight to describe in his CR chart, I can already tell
