let's get a little more familiar

[crystallomancy]

The Common Knowledge Meme

Maybe you're classmates. Maybe you hang around the same stairwell. Maybe, realistically, your characters should be doing battle over the dormitory's only kitchen for dinner rights—but since it isn't possible to thread everything out with everyone all the time, let's make things easier!

Protocol:
1. Post with your character(s) and list things that could be considered "common knowledge" around the school, including anything you think people might know or notice even if your characters haven't ever met or spoken directly. Yogen's a pretty big school, after all. Feel free to make categories if you feel like it'll help!

Fun ideas to include...
An average day or week for your character.
Things people might notice right away by looking at them (how they dress, notable scars, etc).
Behaviors people might notice by seeing them often.
Places they can usually be found and what they do there.
Small facts that might come up in conversation about your character.
Little things your character does for other students (who else here is making lunches for their NPC friends).

2. Then go reply to other people with relevant common knowledge/headcanon between your characters!

Fun ideas to consider...
How your characters might know one another (same classes, same floor, similar interests, nine degrees of separation).
Anything specific they might have noticed about them recently (like changes in activity).
How often they see each other or spend time with/around each other.
Recent developments they might be aware of that've likely been handwaved.
Who they might be familiar with by proxy (for people who might complain talk about their roommates, classmates, other students in general, etc).

3. Use this opportunity to handwave some CR or plot things! Got something you think your character's CR should know but haven't had a chance for it to come up? Is there someone your character sees often enough or hears about often enough that there's some basis for CR but you just haven't had the chance to talk about it? Now's your chance.

Most of all, have fun and don't stress!

MARKS NAME DOWN!!!! ty for your body count senku... i'll make a lil fancy graphic for us once i get some fun base stuff figured out so ppl can have things to do with their chars

[starrypoint]

theyre classmates so yes pls convince him...... since he already uses subarus telescope anyway!!!

AND YES ABSOLUTELY!!! as soon as he sees nene he hugs her anytime anywhere

Maya
- on a normal day she plays surprisingly uplifting songs... Deemo's Wings of Piano comes to mind, but sometimes she'll play things depending on her mood, like when she was pissed off about somebody cutting the piano strings she pounded Entrance. But yeah, she plays full songs, not simple melodies, and they're songs that aren't sung to
- what does the music club do... idk maybe they do competitions sometimes, that's what my choir class did, went to Disneyland and sang for 10 minutes in a performance and then played the rest of the day
- she'll say hi back if it's just hi, but if he keeps trying to talk to her she may or may not make an excuse to leave, depending on what they're talking about
- no

shopkeep
- yessssssss subaru's the best
- they will absolutely eat it with him, and every time they eat like they're starving bc maybe they are
- no they don't, they're somewhere between student and faculty in that they don't go to class or have a locker or pda or office space. It feels more like they're just renting a little corner of the school to do their own thing

hiro
- as long as subaru carries 100% of the conversation, Hiro will like having him around

Re: Add

[samuraiwomen]

Add talks big talk for someone with little brother energy...don't worry little dude we'll get you some chicks.

crona is always ready to go @ add onsight i dont know what he awakens in them...i think they respect him as a rival and an equal (whad do you mean hes older????) i hope they've gotten into weird scrabbles in the hallways.

[starrypoint]

NOOOOO NOT HOW SUBARUS PRACTICING FOR COMPETITIONS HE CANT GO TOOOOOO when we have one at this school its over. subaru will be happy

sksksjjddj subaru's gonna start makin basic bentos for shopkeep so his friend will have some FOOD..... he's befriended strays before its good

also subaru 100% carries the convo with hiro, almost like he's used to it. hiro knows all about trickstar (ukki~ hokke~ sally~ and anzu are names that come up often) and subaru's dog daikichi, and how weird it feels to go to a school where no one knows you but also sort of relaxing? he guesses?




and he's probably shown off how good he is at (checks specialty) hip-hop dancing. the most hiroppi has to do is show interest and also if he has any questions (or concerns, im deciding rn the only person who knows subaru's been in a jungle before is hiro) to just let subaru know,

[commences]

STOPP THE WAY I FINALLY GOT TO SEE THE THREAD THAT HAD THAT and was sick

its okay komaeda will say it for him as what i mean is that hes going to say that he hangs around add so no one never knows add comes around him on his own. because he knows add isnt honest with his feelings.

UGH NOT HIS DUST SYNERGY AND HIS CLAW HE REALLY IS making the rumor a truemor

[decrypter]

listen fill her head with computer facts! just because she hasn't used one herself doesn't mean she isn't fascinated by everything he's telling her and mentally making an image of one in her head. also she 100% knows he's been sleeping through class and will only share her notes and study with him if he makes it worth her while aka promise to stay awake on test day and occasionally bring her a fruit

[kingofscience]

Ooooh, perfect!! I can't wait to see it!!!

[notsosou]

you've twisted his arm and the pact is sealed ... does vending machine fruit count?
Contemplating him regaining a laptop at some point so if she'd like to use one we could do something there

[decrypter]

if he's in the walls and too loud she's going to smack the spot with her cane to be like "hush"

[decrypter]

vending machine fruit counts, it's just her trying to get some level of vitamins in her system so one day she can hope she can grow taller

if he does get a laptop regain! she at least wants to sit next to him and listen to how it works out of curiosity - the idea of portable computers probably blew her mind!

[mermaidcursed]

@ Ori come on ghost boy its time to make friends!!!

GOD they need a day of just laying down somewhere cuddling they're Starving

[notsosou]

she will be rewarded by a muffled yelp : D

[notsosou]

you can do it Helena!

and yissss okay it's going On The List, we're gonna make this happen

[decrypter]

one day she'll be taller...she Believes

and YAY i'm excited for this to happen then!

[decrypter]

can you do your wall scurrying more quietly mr. hiyori

[notsosou]

he'll do his best.... it's very narrow

Once she completes her current matchmaking endeavor, she may take requests.
If you complain about your grades in front of a mirror she'll appear to scold and tutor you.
