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!

nene yashiro !

quick impressions!

❦ a short girl with long white-ish hair that fades into green. i like to think it's natural, because anime is like that.
❦ big red/purple eyes, very doe-like.
❦ thick ankles... she tries to hide this with baggy socks.
❦ scars from imp talons and bites are on her shoulders, arms and legs.
❦ smells like the ocean, pleasantly so!

average day!

❦ attends her classes for the most part- she may have done a secret arson but she's not a delinquent! yet.
❦ spends her lunches at her desk or in the clocktower.
❦ immediately after school, she'll talk with friends!
❦ after that is spent dutifully with the gardening club or cooking club, though she prioritizes the gardening club on some level, since she is the club president after all, and there's plenty of plants to look after with... disappearances.
❦ cooks meals or snacks for herself and friends- though if you ask, she'll happily oblige.
❦ she spends some periods teaching stephanie and ishimaru how to sew, and will teach others to do so as well, or to cook, on request.
❦ spends the evenings sewing before she curls up against hanako or... ... against hanako and tries to sleep.

places!

❦ class 1-b
❦ the home economics rooms, both sewing and cooking sides
❦ the wisteria tree
❦ the clocktower
❦ class 3-e
❦ as the dorms open, she keeps to her room (star 5) or the common room + kitchen.

recent changes!

❦ though she puts on a smile when talking to others, if she doesn't realize anyone's around she's visibly downtrodden, and is retreating from others on some level. it's a pretty convincing smile if you don't know her, though.
❦ her motivation in classes- and... many other things, really- is visibly plummeting.
❦ there's a small set of newer scars on her forearms, like she'd been trying to restrain someone with a blade.
❦ if the cats are around her, they are actively hunting her. her legs are actually pretty scratched up.
❦ despite not being seen in or around the shower rooms aside from when she's cleaning them for her chores, she is impeccably clean and smells... like the ocean, pleasantly so.
❦ she's easily taken in by beautiful things, don't you know? she spends so much time looking at the wisteria tree!

people!

❦ the gardening club
❦ the occult club
❦ shuichi saihara - the detective to her plucky assistant!
❦ subaru akehoshi - cuddle friend for life!
❦ stephanie meanswell - little sister!
❦ sara chidouin - a good friend.
❦ kiyotaka ishimaru - one of the first friends she's made in yogen!
❦ hikaru goto - classmate and friends.
❦ akira kurusu - she's offered to teach him how to cook!

rumor has it!

❦ she has an old reputation for doing anything for a pretty face. people used to be able to take advantage of this. since spring break this seems to have changed, however.
❦ she used to have a lot of brothers!
❦ known to be a very caring person.
❦ doesn't seem to like the network. can't imagine why.
❦ she doesn't hide the tallymark on her wrist. it is a single mark.

i just realized sara and nenes homerooms are right next to eachother, so maybe they have lunch together?

also im not changing journals but when she cooks sweets crona totally turns up like a stray cat and hangs around until offered some.

[mermaidcursed]

lunch friends!! yes!!

also she will always feed the crona... someone has to give them proper food

[adsum]

I like to think that if Nene's ever sitting at a table reading in the library in the evening/night, sometimes Haruka comes over and sits on the floor beside her chair and flips through her picture books, it's like hanging out but you're both doing your own thing

[mermaidcursed]

noooo cute nene will always vibe with you haruka.... always....

Rumors for u! <3

[radnarok]

Lost her PDA, since she never posts with it.

Used a love spell on herself the first month of school, and thats why everyone is so taken with her!

Her grades aren't doing great...did she have a break up? D:

[mermaidcursed]

sometimes the networks a goddamn zoo and you just want to return your ticket but you cant :/

RUMORSSSS

[notsosou]

gardening club + around the wisteria all the time = clearly she's responsible for every (spooky) plant in yogen/the groundkeeper's daughter/maybe an actual tree nymph/giving her life force to grow things

Re: RUMORSSSS

[mermaidcursed]

OBVIOUSLY! the ocean scent? a red herring.
