desum | let's get a little more familiar

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!

Flat | Top-Level Comments Only

Places:

🦎 Most frequented: the elevator but only to greet other people and to sit in it when no one else is riding, about to be the fourth floor because it's new and interesting, also literally anywhere Minato is as if she's a parent watching their child make new friends at kindergarten
🦎 Often: outside the music room when people are playing
🦎 On occasion: anywhere and everywhere, Elizabeth is a woman without boundaries

Personal/Recent events:

🦎 She had a birthday, but August was Like That for everyone, so let's pretend she had a nice party.
🦎 ???
🦎 She existed.

Quick Impressions:

🦎 Very beautiful and otherworldly. Unfortunately canon, so this isn't my bias for Sawashiro Miyuki-voiced characters at work here.
🦎 Loves the color blue. Everything is blue. Even her school uniform is blue.
🦎 Always has a thick, leather-bound book with her; and after school, she's often accompanied by her Persona, Thanatos.

Other Characters:

🦎 Minato Arisato.
🦎 Sometimes will seek Komaeda out of her own free will because they cared for a flour child together. The murderer thing kind of dampened things, but he was a good dad to Kibou.
🦎 Loves hanging out with Rika c:

can i put general handwavey things here... i'm gonna, hi

ami has a high opinion of liz, even if she's A Bit Strange. they're like, pseudo-besties by association anyway. also he had a gift he was going to give her for her birthday before he went missing for 20 days. last i know saihara snagged it from his locker while he was gone to pass on for him, but that's up to rina. if she got the gift (the dogs/thesaurus), i hope she liked it. it was really important to him to get her something nice after she saved saihara that one time help

i hate how this comment is where i started reading your thread w shopkeepkun and then had my insanity spiral on twitter.

AMI... so cute... she would've loved them and they get to live in the elevator with her. i love that they're pseudo-besties though... it's the rika bond.
