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!

npc-kun is outwardly okay! They keep the suncatchers hung by a window in the corner so they can absorb sunlight and make the room not so dark at night because yes they do sleep there and yes they are afraid of the dark

Hikaru is also outwardly okay! they usually hang around in groups, mostly cultists with their black hoodies, and tends to arrive right when the school opens at 6am before classes start and leaves when the school is closed at 6pm

wow... do they know that i love them... do YOU know that alice is losing her entire goddamn mind over arata family theories and realizations right now... anyway this tells me potential threads, i promise i'll try to do one at a time like a good kid. it will be okay because they still have yacchi to keep them safe with peer-reviewed evidence that there's nothing to be scared of in the dark :(

sighs hikaru so diligent... please let aira copy your notes

cries, yogen subtitle arata family drama
I will take multiple threads... I have 4 days off this week so this is all i'm going to do

I'm thinking of that time where Clamor tricked Hikaru into the study club and they sat down and studied, hikaru would let Aira copy their notes

[auditions]

oh wait hold up, maybe hikaru is aira's new favourite person that isn't an idol out here

also in that case i'm buffering and will be coming at you soon... excited!!
