EDIT: To everyone!!! if yo have an idea for something like this, even if it's something sneaky YOUR character is doing, please send those to me! I'd love to have characters involved in some of these smaller plot hooks and things. Maybe your character gets up late at night to raid the kitchen for food and everyone thinks it's a raccoon so they start to investigate. Maybe your character has been meeting in secret with one of the professors for lessons, but a rumor spreads that you're dating and you seek help from your friends, etc etc.

Oh, good point, Rose Boss! Actually I [i]have[/i] been musing plot ideas for my PCs and characters that may be involved with them. Several are in drafts, but two of them are solid enough for me to present to you:

[s]1. [i]Tagging [@The Savant] since this idea centers around Prince Illa.[/i] Okay, since this world's Russia is also invading Ukraine (but being more successful in the endeavor), I imagine that the slavic empire is currently Public Enemy#1 in the political playground. With this context in mind, I think we can play around with court intrigue surrounding Illa's partnership with Millie. I'm predicting speculations and rumors would arise regarding their relationship, such as: Russia is trying to secure its western borders by gaining an alliance with the Holy Roman Empire via marrying its crown prince with the HRE's princess.

Of course, the notion of two powerful empires (both with warmongering history) united in a royal alliance will be quite worrying, not just for Ukraine but for the entire world as well. As such, even though the truth may be that they're [i]just[/i] two students who just so happened to be paired, there'll be... several parties that believe it's in their best interest to sabotage their relationship.[/s]

[b]EDIT[/b]: Scrapped.

2. [i]Tagging [@Animal] because this idea was inspired by Esme's CS.[/i] Reading Esme's childhood history and the Underground organization gave me an idea that due to her unique spellcasting power, Millie is in their watch list of potential abductees. Her social position and HRE's terrifying might may have put her in the backburner as they'd rather go after 'safer' options such as a low-class orphan (e.g: Esme). However, now that they know The Iron Princess will be attending a private school in an isolated remote region for the foreseeable future, they may try to make their move, [i]especially[/i] if they can use someone else as a scapegoat, it can be Illa, or Alfi, or even the headmaster or one of the teachers.
