Would you all prefer the game to start with the character's first day at Ashford's or would it be more beneficial to start at the first day of the 2nd semester? That way they would already be fairly familiar with the process and it could let us skip some exposition. Just a thought :D.

While a lot of you seem familiar with each other and your characters, I'm not and as such no matter which scenario, it's probably going to come off as me being unfamiliar so I'd rather start with the first day at Ashford's. I think it'd build more organic relationships that way too.
