I like how Yue just gets nominated treasurer right off the bat. Kind of funny.

All good. I have to leave soon. And hadn't even got to work on a post. I feel ashamed in myself. :(

Catalyst: The Trading Card Game RP

They assumed he had learned to drown out all the whispering. They assumed that he couldn’t hear them or that he was ignoring what they had to say. It hadn’t gotten any better nor any worse than before. He just kept his head down and buried in the textbook for their English class. Preparing for tomorrow's test a failure in grade now would only meet the yelling of his mother. And other punishments. He simply had to continue to do his best.

He knew kids in the past who probably asked him, didn’t he want his freedom or his independence. He wasn’t sure if he had the answers to those questions. It wasn’t a hard yes nor a firm handed no. Either way it was the way things were to be and he didn’t particularly care for the conflict. Both his parents could be downright mean if he tried to say anything.

It was best he wasn’t heard. Just seen. Even if that meant other kids got to talk behind his back and call him odd or weird. He didn’t mind it. It had become something so commonplace in his life that their chatter was like a spring breeze. Every now and then you’d hear something, but then it pass you by. There was no reason to talk to the wind.

That’s how he dealt with it. That’s how he coped with it. He was still uncertain about a lot of things currently in his life. The deck of cards he found on the bench hadn’t been claimed by any owner. And being near the deck made him feel odd about the situation. Like there was someone else inside of it. He tried to ignore it because anything that detracted him from his studies meant a poor future. Or so his family would tell him.

He in a sense believed it. That video games and trading card games were distractions. He found himself escaping into their reality whenever he had a chance to play them. Clearly something that could so easily have someone succumb to their presence was a distraction from an expected perfect future.

He only glanced away from his textbook once. He wondered if any of the other students had a deck of cards? He wasn’t confident enough to talk to anyone himself, but he saw one of the students pinning up a flier. Trading Card Game Club? Maybe he’d be able to give the deck to someone else. Someone more appropriate. It just wasn’t something he was interested in or knew too much about.

Standing up and walking towards the redheaded student. He felt his heart racing. All the students eyes on him. All the snickers. The whispers. The murmuring. Was less easy to drown out when he wasn’t so focused on something. He wished he knew the student’s name. He wished he didn’t feel so weird and awkward. Or so strange.

Butterflies forming in his stomach that made speaking the same as feeling like you were going to throw up.

@HeroicSociopath

“Um,” he muttered, “about the trading card game club.” he paused, “are there a lot of people? I...would...like to return something.”

He could hear his own heartbeat in his ear. His heart racing. His chest tightening. Socializing with others wasn’t exactly an easy feat. He was hoping that this would go over smoothly. That he’d somehow be directed to a few people. Maybe someone missing a deck. He didn’t want to believe or really didn’t believe he was meant for this deck, this ring he kept in his pocket. There felt like another person budging their way in his subconscious, but he tried to ignore it.

Obviously, obviously it needed to be someone else.

I'll probably mess it up, so I think I'll just skip them if that's alright. Akira can be assumed to be using whatever honoriffics fit the context.

@HeroicSociopath

If you are not friends with the individual, Last name [kun if boy or chan if girl] san is rarely used. As it's seems very formal. I'll probably use san for Yue though because it's so formal and I am going with that weird, super respectful kid.

Senpai [class president, a tutor, a student you look up to]

Not much to mess up

I'll get a post up soonish. Hopefully I do that right now. But I work, Thursday, Friday, Saturday, and Sunday of this week.

And Saturday don't expect me to be around at all. My day is completely filled.

I mean, I'd like a crash course on how honorifics are generally used to not fuck it up myself if we're doing that. I only have a very rough idea of what to use in which context.

@Ammokkx

Crash course simplified it to make it easy to digest;

Sensei is teacher

Senpai is for upperclassmen usually someone who is peer group mentor figure, so an upperclassman student who is class president or someone who is a student but a mentor figure. But it's sort of formal and respectful

San is formal and less casual then the kun and chan

Where as Kun and Chan are more informal and on a more friendly terms with another individual. Using their last name often with kun and chan

Kun - boy

chan - girl

Exceptions, chan can be used to tease a boy or tease someone in a friendly manner as well.

But if they tell you can drop the honorific you can, and friends usually will call each other by first names. Some will drop honorifics and still call the other by their last names, considered more formal, but casual.

Wait, so we start off with the rings? How did we get them? Have the characters battled before? How long have the characters had them?

I thought we'd be getting them inside of the RP- not start off with them.

EDIT: Oh, also, how's the formalities going to play into this? Are we going to englishify Japan and call everyone by first name, or will be somewhat true to form and use mostly last names? And should we weeb the heck out and use honorifics?

@Ammokkx

Same.

I am going to the edit, do it Japanese. Since I studied Japanese in College, language and know bit about their culture and customs. I'm going to remain as authentic to Japanese customs as I can.

Truth, I love obscure lore.

Also, @TheRedWatcher it could be a little awkward only because you are not the GM, so you having a character predicting the "future" could make the story hard to manage. Just my opinion.

@Kaja

Psykers are well established in the Fallout universe. And they all do not have the ability to tell the future. They have shown a range of abilities.

Would I get in trouble for doing a Psyker?

@TheRedWatcher

You gotta always have that one person who brings out that weird obscure lore and you're like, jeee I love this guy.

Catalyst: The Trading Card Game RP

I think @AngelofOctober drew the biggest irony, though.

@TaroAndSelia

How do you figure?
