[@Jumbus] location Agnostic; weird things can happen around New Hope, go crazy with it. There’s mountains, rivers, a lake, nearby forest- even an ocean and a city conveniently within ‘traveling distance’ via ‘traveling for a day to a train station then taking the train’ or whatever, etc. most of the ‘outside New Hope’ bits are off-screen for our purposes, but it’s a typical ‘anywhere it needs to be’ anime town. I do not wish to place it anywhere concrete or ever mention anywhere real ever lmao. If that’s a cop-out my bad, but I’m focusing on what’s right in front of us for this one.

[@ERode]the application deadline is the 21st.
