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!

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,
