I dunno why but every time I post I feel guilty x)

Rafa’s sort of like a natural force of chaos.

I feel that that is a very valid description of her, haha. 😊

By the way, guys, about the relationship thread... And I guess this question is more to aphelion. Uh... What should we do, exactly? I mean, I get what they do mechanically, but are we supposed to create NPCs? Or use those that already exist? Because I feel that it's kinda too early to set us up with anyone. Maybe, aphelion, you could eventually introduce the whole cast, have us play for a whole half-year in-game or something, and once we get everyone's dynamics not only between ourselves but with the NPCs, then time skip to the second year? And then, we could extrapolate how our relationships developed and do the relationship prompt-thing. Or, I mean something along those lines? I'm not sure if the relationships have to be particularly meaningful, that's the impression I got, but maybe it's okay if they're too new?

Also, I have another question! How often are we going to have time skips? I imagine we won't be rping the entire year(s).

Relationships aren't necessarily romantic, it's more like family, friends, teachers, prefects and maybe eventually romantic partners--although you're totally right, it's a little early in the game to be pairing off 11-year-olds. For example, if Rafaella has a very close relationship with her father, she could designated him as one of her "Loves", which gives her a significant bonus on skills where she uses his knowledge or connections. Relationships are just another group of ability pools you can spend from.

In terms of the time skip question, there's definitely going to be time skips, sort of like the jump in action from the train to the entrance, but I will always give you a heads up that they're coming, let you know I'm going to move the action along unless we have anything else we want to accomplish.

OH MY GOD I BROKE CAROLINE! *sobs*
Mar 30, 2019 9:12 pm
Yes, how dare you? You made a little girl cry!

Poor Caroline...

Dammit, Caroline's gonna be dragged to the Headmistress's office before Rafa. 😠

Oh no, 78RPMLife will be unavailable til Saturday. I did notice Ava looking sleepy. Oh well, we'll have to carry on. Too bad! 😁

Seriously tho! Aphelion, what happens when players need to be absent for a few days?
Apr 2, 2019 6:39 pm
Given what's going on currently, I don't know that anyone needs my input IC. I'm fine being skipped. :D

If we're not all in one place like we were on the train, we could just skip over Ava for a bit. In the time 78 is missing, we would probably only get through around two turns anyway so they wouldn't miss much.
Only if 78 doesn't mind, of course
Apr 2, 2019 6:51 pm
I don't mind at all. I think that makes the most sense, honestly. Just say I've been studying extra hard to prepare for classes.

Absences are okay! Real life is an unfortunate thing that SOMETIMES happens. The next few posts are going to be about getting settled into school life, so nothing too earth-shattering--unless one of you declares yourself the secret heir of Bertie Bott, which wouldn't surprise me at this point!

Ava can temporarily fade into the background for a few OOC days as she's IC overwhelmed with the new workload. It helps that all of the students will be getting settled into school life separately, so they'll be experiencing different things. I'll leave her out of turn order, just shoot me a message when you're back 78PRM, and I'll add you back in right away!

Sounds great. Thanks, boss!
Apr 2, 2019 7:39 pm
Sooooo... I mean, 78's kinda still around, right? Should I post, or?
Apr 2, 2019 7:45 pm
Oh yeah, post away. I’m gone on Thursday. πŸ˜€
Apr 2, 2019 7:48 pm
Huh. Nevermind, I hadn't seen Ava's post. Sorry!
