Meanwhile, Katsuya got a whopping 25 (5 5s) to be treated. That's an Amazing Success that's just over twice the max DN of 12. I think we can safely say the dice gods hate birds and love foxes

Should I wait for something to happen on the Aono-and/or-the-admirer front, or should I assume that she returned and it's safe to proceed to the next step, with nothing happening in the interim?

You guys are so fast... I really need to start posting daily at least.

I'm having alot of fun with this so I may be going a tad quick , sorry about that

Just give me a chance to post

same. I can't find the time to post while I'm at work XD

Well, I'm on hold for a while now, giving such a chance in case it would be something that affects Lín Jìng, but my latest post was on the 10th, and it's already the 13th. If you have a thing to post, please post. If not, I should try to catch up to the game's pace.

Yeah, I'm happy everyone is having fun but I suggest we slow down at least a tad

Posting speed seemed good in the smaller scenes with 3 or 4 people there. But the scenes with everyone present can be difficult to keep up with.

Sancho!

I agree, big scenes need more GM posting so everyone is included.

I mean uh we can slow down yeah.

Sorry about that, I believe I've gotten carried away at points.

I felt the OOC talk in 1-B was getting too long, so I moved it.
Oh ok, got ahead of myself! She was simply trying to trigger a nosebleed then. Now that I think about it, I should've rolled it. Hanami's thoughts were certainly dirty enough to warrant a check. I'll remember if something similar happens later on. And if I don't, feel free to remind me.

Your restraint is appreciated. I didn't really mind much, especially considering the comedic nature of the 1-B scene, but others may feel differently about it.

Regarding the pacing I think there might not be much of a need to slow down (IMHO), but I do think that I had some strategic errors in choosing whom to interact with that resulted in me not living up to the post frequency listed for this game (it's listed as 1/day and I'm posting significantly rarer than that).

Alright, my say on the matter is this: I don't want to handicap people who are more available to post, and I feel very glad they decide to spend their time by writing on my game (I feel the same with whom can't post so often too, of course), so I won't order anyone to stop posting.

On the other hand, I understand people have stuff to do, I myself have times where I end with without posting for more than 24h. And well, all of this extra posting (from my part, at least) is merely build up or 'filler' material, nothing essential by any means, and that I 100% would use to entertain more active players while scenes with more plot importance and more players are played out in a more accessible pace.

All that being said, we still agreed on a 1 post/day (or more), so I ask everyone to keep with it; but of course, pontual slips are absolutely allowed (or else, the GM would be framed guilty too!)

Its not really the 1 post/day I struggle with but just keeping up with what is happening in those busy threads. Like, by the time I get around to post, the plot has moved on a lot already and I feel kind of lost.
There might be some time zone shenanigans going on as well, as a lot of people post at, what is for me, the middle of the night. This can make it tricky to react to something before a bunch of other people reacted already and move the scene forward.

That being said. I am not complaining. Having seen my fair share of games just sputter out or move at a glacial pace, this game is a joy to play and I am glad it is as alive as it is. I just found the scenes on the way to school or in the classroom more manageable than the entrance ceremony or the lunch time scenes.

@Moryeau would any of my weaknesses come into play during this hidden roll? Like love magnet for instance?

Depends if he's actively hiding (in which case no) or just blending in (then yes). Either way, he doesn't seem to have any ability to help him hide, so it will be a tricky 2d6 roll.

I feel you about the time-zones Aline! As for me too some posts are made in the middle of the night. While yours appear to be made in my mornings.

I can suggest to you that your character can react to anything she wants to, that was made in the past, you mustn't stick to only the very last thing that happened. After that, I can hope to solace you that I am still a newbie in this PbP thing, and am still experimenting on what works and what not. So things may get better in the future in that aspect. Also, and because of that, your feedback is welcomed and very desired, thanks!

A 12 and a 15 is insane! 😭

I mostly left it ambiguous whether Aono being sneaky resulted in Lín Jìng losing track of him early, feel free to decide whatever. Also, if no interruptions happen, I'll post the next steps tomorrow.

I think I'm getting a better grasp on finding stuff to do with the role I picked. At first it felt very constraining, but then I started leaning more into the trickster suite of abilities, and I think it's starting to work out. Plus I thought some more about the characterisation and possible ways of engaging with the social scenes while maintaining RP of shyness (and other traits), and I think the future is looking brighter and funnier than it did before.

Would Hanami be enticed to know that Sumeryu has the current complete collection of Mahou Shoujo ni Akogarete and a bunch of the merch in her vault of expensive nerd stuff? =p

I didn't know what that was initially, but after looking into it a little, she'd definitely love a series like that!
