I was actually hesitant to use that picture for Emilia's banner because it fucking looks like porn. I'll probably ruin it by saying it, but you guys have surely already thought about it.

I powered through, need a cookie for this one.




@Rockette
Come on now, you work in that industry, and this is going to kill you? I don't know about that.

Asbolutely! I planned on going the same route.

@Benzaiten
Hah, yeah, I know that type of student all too well. It's a perfect fit for Nat's type. That sort of frees the excuses up a lot. That is, Nat wouldn't have to sneak around or lie about it to her buddies, seeing as Mel would pretty much be in on it for the same reasons, just on the other side of the same coin. This also leads me to think that Natalie's friends would gradually loosen up on the shit they would've given Mel at the get-go of things. So, towards the end of Ritman, they'd more or less leave her alone altogether.

Awesome, then Natalie probably paid Mel for an essay on more than one occasion.

Well, I put the character down as an 'influencer' with a fairly large following. I think I mentioned half a million followers in the previous game, but not in the character sheet. So, it would be very easy to check on Nat after Ritman.

I think Nat would consider that fling to be the perfect 'thank you for everything'-gesture. Like, it would be the highest form of payment and appreciation in Nat's mind to give herself, her body. She probably wouldn't think to do anything like that again, at that point, but that could've changed now a few years later in the story.
Don't forget to edit your character sheets with the new stuff.

Oh yeah, I'm down for all that. I like the guaranteed grade thing/group work. Nat would've been able to blame it on whatever to her buddies while having another reason for it with Mel. And then some sexy fling towards the end of everything, before graduating.

Come on now, pine trees are great. I love pine trees. Might be because our forests around here are 90% pine trees, hmm.

The only word I see in almost every character sheet is "bullied", and I can't help but sweat a little. So, let's take care of the elephant in the room, yes? I did this in the previous game, so might as well do it again here.

----------------------------------

MEIRโ€”@Salsa Verde
Going with the same setup as in the previous game: Meir probably got the worse from Nat's buddies rather than herself, but neither did she stop anything. Nat and Meir exchanged a few words here and there when the rest of the gang wasn't around, maybe? Surface-level things, school shit.

WILLIAMโ€”@Gisk
Again, going with a similar setup as the previous game: Natalie follows William on Insta/social media due to the music thing. But, there isn't much beyond that, and he wasn't a target of Nat's buddies either.

SARAโ€”@banjoanjo
Going with a variation of the previous game: Natalie being insecure about her own sexuality at the time, she took her frustrations out on Sara in the dreaded but classic 'bathroom encounters' with snarky remarks and outright nasty commentary. I'm thinking this is also because of Sara's heritage, coming as an immigrant, being an easy target.

JACKโ€”@nodogs
Going with a neutral standing again. Natalie probably dumped some interesting gossip about the 'plastics' on Jack every now and then. No fucking honor among thieves here.

MELANIEโ€”@Benzaiten
I'm thinking that Melaine gained some good standing with Natalie in some PE class duo/team sport or competition thing. Then, whenever this bullying cycle began, Natalie would let any remarks from her buddies slide, but then sort of 'apologize' for her not doing anything about it AFTER the cycle ended. Let me know what you think about this.

OLEANDERโ€”@Aeolian
Under the radar as it were. I've got nothing here, love. Unless you've got something in mind, of course. I'm all ears.

MARCOโ€”@udonoodles
My thought here was to have Natalie like Marco's artistic expression to the point of quietly 'protecting' him from any bullshit that the rest of the school might have given him. She'd follow him on social media if he had/has any. There could also be a few occasions of conversation beyond a word or two, perhaps? She'd let him know about the art and that he should talk to her if anyone would give him 'shit'. Let me know what you think about this.

DANTEโ€”@Laertes
I'm thinking that Dante would've received the full premium package of snarky-ass remarks and mean comments from Natalie's buddies. I'd say that Nat herself would've been either indifferent about it or given Dante a 'pass' every now and then. I have a question, though: how well known would that transition have been at Ritman, if at all? I think Natalie would lean more towards not doing anything against Dante if she knew about it.

SAMUELโ€”@Rockette
Sorry, pumpkin, Sammy gets the full ride of diehard bullying. Natalie won't even recognize him now, though, right? I'd say she'll be kinda stunned, embarrassed about all the shit at Ritman.

Hanna felt as though she recognized the man with the crutches accompanying Zhalia Ramshorn. He had a rather handsome visage, easily standing out in a crowd. It was a momentary distraction for the lass otherwise engaged in conversation with aspiring fine pastry tasters.

"Of course you don't, Scottโ€”flying high and mighty up there in the faculty clouds next to the Gods of education and outstanding morality. But, you know, us mere mortals down here on the ground do enjoy a bit chit-chattering. Although, I suspect that the 'eating people' thing was a bit out there." Hanna gabbled in the typical fashion, but with a sense of lightheartedness and humility. Even if some words of hers could be perceived as headstrong, she usually made up for it with mellow tones in her voice or a pretty smile. "People talk the most during celebrations, though. It's been scientifically proven, you know, I think. OH WELL, I'm going to taste one of your brownies, because people also EAT at celebrations." She continued, snagged one of those gorgeous browniesโ€”although a bit warm to the touchโ€”and took a comically giant bite that puffed up her cheeks when it was all in there, being chewed at.

When some of that brownie had gone down, the word factory spun right up again. "I'd like to be in some kind of cult, though. Wouldn't that be something? I mean, not in one that eats people, because I don't think I'm into that, even if I haven't tried it. Maybe it's good?!" Hanna exclaimed with a hint of sarcasm. "But, maybe in a Love Cult or something like that. Can you imagine? I think I'm the type they'd try to recruit. I bet I wouldn't even realize it's a cult until someone is trying to put something weird up my butt." Hanna chuckled at her own joke. "Jokes aside, I hear what you're saying. It is indeed important that we do this thing properly. We're under enough scrutiny as it is. Believe you me, I've been on that side of this coin once all the while trying to figure everything out on this side we're on nowโ€”what a fucking ride that was, jeez." Hanna finally stopped talking for a second to take another bite of the brownie. "These are delicious!" She tried to say with a stuffed mouth.

Hanna's gaze lingered on Zhalia and Simon as they departed the food tent. The gal's process of swinging back and forth between flamboyant chatter and profound pondering was a rather harsh roller coaster ride. She plunged into her mind once again. Of course she didn't eat people. I don't know why I said that. I think I just have an issue with Necromancy, that's all. Should I judge someone on that merit alone, though? Obviously not, but it's easier said than done. I've still spent most of my waking life judging people for petty things and acting on it, often with hostility. I wonder where Janet McMillan is these daysโ€”I'd like to apologize to her, I think, and buy her something nice. Even though Hanna's thoughts could take her for a long walk on the beach, her presence in the real world rarely faltered because of it. She could certainly do several things at the same time.

Hanna grabbed a clean plate and put down the brownie she was gorging. Then, she spent a second or two focusing on her internal energies flowing throughout her whole body, centering in the pineal gland, reaching up and out through her crown. A faint distortion of light in a tiny space above the table began to form. Hanna reached her hand into it. It would certainly be a bizarre sight to any ordinary person observing it from just a few steps away. It would look as if Hanna's hand just up and vanished into thin air, leaving her arm visibly chopped off by the wrist. From this tiny pocket dimension, Hanna retrieved her cell phone. "Okay, here we go, selfie time!" Hanna almost cheered as she tried to catch the light and angles next to Scott and Kelly. "Come on, big smiles you guys." Hanna snapped the picture, which would capture the beautiful food on the tables as well as the two wonderful people she was with. Now, whether Scott and Kelly actually posed along Hanna was another matter altogether. All too often Hanna would participate all by herself, but she did not mind.

@Krash
Oh my, sorry to hear that! Get well soon. Drink lots of water, rest, and you'll be back on top in no time!

@Salsa Verde@DeadDrop
14 days since the last ic-post coming up, babes. Try to get something in soon. Mommy will be very happy.

Cas, let me know if the name-font is wrong. I tried to find one that matches the one you use in the character sheet.
