Sleepless Nights\\ Iron Cages

At times, Mel's office felt like an orphanage...but really, that was what it was.

At least, for Yasu. Maybe for Cam and Emma too, judging by their looks. And perhaps Niid? Naw. This Niid looked like he had money, so no.

Yeah. In a third of the branches she saw, Niid wasn't even there.

Curled up on the patchwork couch that occupied Mel's office inside her office, Yasu flipped through her diary quietly, skimming through all the details, parsing together all the names. Faces familiar, names familiar, but relationships always offset, somewhat. Progressing with time, but diverging with time. It was good enough to know that she had a good relationship with her employer though! And that she was taking turns with Cam, feeding a stray cat. Better that Kelsey was alive here, though Mo Cheng was an enemy. And then there was the matter with the Pale Terror. Did that monster not exist, or was it simply never found?

She rubbed her eyes, then snapped her diary shut again. Mel was speaking, so she was listening.

"Can we read the book?" Curiousity brightened her tone. "Or is it one of those sorts of books?"

Man, The DAN-KU. What an excellent nickname.

Interesting to be gathering up a whole exodia's worth of delinquent-types, for sure. And yeah, it would be generally a good idea to at least hash out the vibes each player has with each other. They're all likely to know of each other, if nothing else.

And yeah, Thousand, that's good. Initial D shenanigans are helpful n all.

Heh.

Yasu and Emma, never alone because of their magic, but also in entirely different trajectories.

@AThousandCurses Feel free to push her moped shenanigans further. When I think something that makes them exceptional, I generally want something that would make them standout even amongst others who possess the same skill.

Alrighto, with a CS in and the second page reached, I'll probably go and have the OOC set up on Monday. Then, if things go according to plan and CSes are pumped in swiftly enough, the IC will begin on Feb 18 or 19.

Also, a question. Is there anyone against using Discord for OOC hijinks?

Persona ~ Alone at Sea (PERSONA WITH A BOAT 𓊝)

As Daniel drank, Verity watched him. For immediate reactions, delayed reactions, to anything odd with the coconut water.

He looked fine at a glance, of course, but she could wait regardless. She could wait for a good while, especially if Sofia really had spotted water as well. A spring, indeed, that Verity somehow missed while she was up on her tree. That was good news too. Someone else could drink from there too, and she could continue to wait in comfort to see what would happen.

But the silence was a more curious thing. It came suddenly, the stilling of seagulls and insects. A silence to stoke up a ringing in her ears, a silence that encouraged her to take a step closer to the tree she had climbed up upon, encouraged her to check her surroundings slowly, looking for a sign of something that wasn't just vegetation.

And of course, she too was prepared to ghost.

After all, Verity had prioritized food and water over weaponry. And though there were many things that she has done and wanted to do, punching an animal to death wasn't one of them.

Oh, Yankee, I meant ICly.

In a school of 100ish kiddos, if your character wanted to be student council president, they’d have gotten their position without an election, because no one else would’ve.

Expedition to Isekai [Short-Term Dungeon Delving]

@AThousandCurses They’re third years in Junior High. That would put them at 14-15 years old, I believe.

@Cu Chulainn Sounds fine with me. He just needs a cute library club gf now. He’d probably be looking at a pretty doomer high school future though. Basically zero chance of him placing in the junior high final exams.

Expedition to Isekai [Short-Term Dungeon Delving]

The childhood friend always loses. But also Cu, is there a particular reason for him to go to school if he’s delinquenting it up?

@AThousandCurses junior high schoolers can probably get licensed for a scooter. If they’re a farm boyo, they could drive tractors or something too.

@Yankee Unless someone else pops up, it’d be likely that your kiddo became student council president by default. Do they have any particular talents or skills out of the norm?

So when IC?

Real RPers make bad decisions and then double down on em afterwards, Thousand. How real are you?

Also, for other interested parties, quick Character Sheet template if anyone wants to get started early. It's not gonna be anything more complex than this, but I'll probably add sections as the RP goes on.

CS Template

Character Image Iz anime RP. So anime pic.
Name Last Name, First Name
Identity Who are they as a human being? A mixture of personality, background, and appearance. Consider this as something that most people in their town would know them as.
Peculiarity What makes them stand out amongst their peers? Additional trivia can be slotted here as well.
