Beatmaster, are you still accepting character sheets? This RP sounds absolutely genius and I would love to be part of it.

Absolutely. We still want more members.
Beat. Add at the top of your first post that this RP is still open. Either that or at the bottom. So we can help get more members.

[StarInaBox]

Well, I kind of firgured it was... I just feel awkward to post a character sheet without asking. It's always nice to ask, right?

[Dlayeth]

I suppose so XD

Sorry, it's been quiet for a while here, so I may have been a little...

...crazy

So I have a question before I start making a potentially bad character. I see that the distance between characters is pretty long. One is in Japan while another, I saw, lives in the Central United States. I don't know about the other accepted characters, but how exactly do they interact when it's the day time? I saw in the RP's information that we were going to be roleplaying our characters day time activities. Wouldn't that be a waste of time considering that most of our characters aren't living in the same part of the world anyways?

[Dlayeth]

Hm.. they don't really interact I believe. Unless they somehow communicate in dreams, and exchange emails or something.

I believe some of the roleplaying daytime activities can be used to help with character development. They may also be used to influence dreams I believe. Perhaps it will become important later.

[Seravee]

Yeah, I think that is meant to bring out the character development. But the time zones do make it hard. Reagan is taking a nap in the middle of the day to interact with another time zone.

[Dlayeth]

Doesn't your character live in michigan?

[Seravee]

Yup, the western UP. Just barely CST. To communicate with someone in JST, she had to be 15 hours behind.

[Dlayeth]

but it's currently 3 in the morning in cst so it should be... 4am in areas of michigan?
Here's a good reference/calculator for the time difference.

Anyways If it's 6PM in Japan and 3PM in Michigan... Japan is way closer than I expected.

I calculated the time for Michigan

time

[Seravee]

If we have to line our posts up with the one before (for instance, all of our posts need to be lined up because we are both CST), this is going to be really difficult. That means that we will very rarely interact with Japan's characters, and you and I will more or less have to plan our posts around each other. I honestly hate using such specific timelines in my roleplays. It's too restricting. Just because it's 3:00am in your post doesn't necessarily mean my post needs to start at the same time. I only picked that time so I could interact with JST.

I love the idea of doing dreams vs. real life, but I really wish we could do away with the strict timeline and time zones. It will greatly help character interactions.

[Seravee]

But my character's town is in a town that is far west enough to be considered CST. The rest of Michigan is EST, except for a handful of western counties. So it is 3:00 am.

This is why I wish we could do away with time zones.

[Dlayeth]

Fine, I'll just have to edit my post then. And make Bethany reach 3PM

[Seravee]

It really doesn't matter to me. I just wish we could do away with the times. I don't see what purpose they serve.

I asked for them so that I could figure out whether I should be asleep or not.

[Seravee]

Alright. I'm just going to focus on lining up with Japan's time, so I'll be sleeping during the day, I guess.

Also, as my character is a high school student. She has a set schedule. So from 7AM-4PM She would probably be awake or moving about because of school. So it's unlikely for her to be sleeping. My character has around 15 hours where she could possibly be sleeping. 4PM CST is 7AM in Japan... so... my character has a relatively small time window to connect with another person's dreams.

[Seravee]

Ah. That's too bad.

[Dlayeth]

Also, if Ryuji is still sleeping... Doesn't that mean he's slept 12 hours?

Yes I am still accepting and going into someone else's dream is not intentional unless the people know each other or create a type of 'plan' to contact each other. Of course, they would have to think ahead :P

Well yes, that makes sense. But how do you plan to have characters' dreams intersect? Or have other characters enter anothers dream? I'm curious as to how our characters are going to meet and create bonds and all that stuff.
