Marie's watched so much anime that she'll be happy to be a part of any club that basically does nothing, because she knows that they're the most important club of all and that's where your real friends are made. Also there must be a high likelihood of aliens, espers, time travelers and sliders being in that club.
Anime Clubs are a thing in a lot of high schools unfortunately
I'm with you on this sentiment 100%
But that's not quite the same as a do-nothing club. Marie doesn't necessarily want to hang out with anime folks, she just wants to feel like she's in one every once in a while.
In all seriousness though, she'd probably join up with a track and field club and probably not much else.
@UndineExactly and making it sound unofficial will gather the attention of students. Well maybe not most of them because they'll think the idea of a matchmaking club seems rather ridiculous. They'll be the ones who set events after prom, Christmas parties and anything alike. Idk, the idea is still vague but we can try on bringing this up IC if possible. Perhaps one of our characters can be the mastermind.
Korrie will be attempting to make a sort of gaming/E-sports club, where there will be tournaments held twice every month, and the rest of the time is spent honing skills, forming rivalries, and also learning how to be better at gaming at general. If possible, an E-sport team could be made out of the best players, and the team line-up would depend on the game if they go into things like inter school tournaments/Championships. Be an interesting idea, at the very least.
As a general note, got my questions done. Actually figured out some stuff about Marie from doing it, so it was a pretty enriching experience. Looking forward to reading everybody else's.
As mentioned, looks like we've got a swim team. Not sure on what else. I could definitely get Hal into another, more active club. maybe a club to discuss books/literature since we seem to have a lot of readers?
I like and support @Scoundrel's idea of having the matchmaking club. It's a fun and interesting idea that I think will be alot of fun to write in in the IC. However, I don't want Emilie being the mastermind though!
@Undine Since we have swimming, I was wondering if we could have Gymnastics as well? I'm just asking as Emilie is a gymnast, if not I'll just shove her into one of the available ones.
Crap, I've fallen into old habits again. Korrie is going to be getting a revision to his history and some add-ons to his personality that will make it all the more tragic. Man, I was hoping to avoid this little trapping of mine, but I feel like his history is much too bland fo me. Just letting people know.
@UndineHey, could you help me out with this? I was looking at my revision, and while I like it, I feel like I fucked up somewhere. If you could give me feed back, that'd be awesome. Actually, feedback from anyone would be appreciated, as this is the first time I've written about someone being severely bullied and I want to be sure I don't under sell it or anything.
Also, since I'm too lazy to put in in the CS write now, here's how I see the below affecting his personality, as well as some added quirks: He's somewhat afraid/intimidated by a certain type of girl, the type like Acacia and Laney, because of his experience, and will be immediately stand of fish and guarded with them. He also never wears light colors because of this experience, wanting to separate his image from anything remotely feminine as much as possible. He is a closet romantic, and a very due-hard one at that, he will become extremely aggressive in the presence if even the slightest acts of bullying, or anything that could be considers as such. As stated in the pad, he did gymnastics until recently, and part of the reason he quit was the below and because he was tired of getting teased for it, but he actually kind of enjoyed it and still practices in secret from time to time, he has dating sim games(again due to his romantic side), he's no longer oblivious to romance, but because if his last experience with a girl(Samantha was a girl he had a crush on and confessed to, but she used his affection to have him embarrass himself for her. By the time he realized that, he was already under her thumb), is he has a hard time opening up to people in a meaningful way. There may be some other stuff, but I'll reveal it in the I.C.
Korrigan Alexander Jackson school life was absolute hell for the longest time, and he suffered it in silence. As a young boy, some of his interests and his over all appearance were considered to be quite girlish, earning him a more demons nickname of Alexandra all the way up into highschool. He was a quiet kid back then, and a bit of a pushover, so it was an inevitable conclusion that he'd be the target of severe bullying. The prime offender was a popular girl by the name of Samantha, who tortured him relentlessly and was constantly ousting him from the social hierarchy. If anyone tried to be friends with him, they'd quickly find themselves subjected to similar punishment, making it so that Korrie would never have any friends in the real world to be around.
As a bullying target, he had to put up with a ton of psychological, and even a little physical, torture. But the most traumatic experience for Korrie was when he was in the 8th grade. It was the day of the graduation ceremony and Samantha, then a freshman, had decided to pay Korrie a visit. She got some friends and they dragged him into the girl's bathroom, stripped him if his cap, gown and clothes, only to dress him up to look like a girl, complete with make-up, nail polish, and a pretty dress. It was a horrendous, dehumanizing, demasculating, and traumatizing experience, and it didn't end there. The girls had taken pictures if the poor boy and had spread them all over the Internet, cementing his shame that summer as kids everywhere he went laughed at him, calling him names and over all treating him like a joke. He attempted to kill himself twice soon after, the stress and embarrassment of the situation making death seem like the most enticing solution, but both times his sister caught him and proceeded to smack the ever living shot out of him for even thinking of doing something like that. While she meant well, it didn't help him in the slightest, and it caused Korrie to retreat deep inside himself. His parents had been in an uproar, and were quick to sue Samantha's family, who immediately obliged, her patents feeling ashamed and embarrassed, but it didn't matter. The damage had been done.
After a year into highschool, Korrie conduced his radical change, wanting to complete seperate himself from the event, which had become rather big news in the anti-bullying community, but he would never be able to forget it. He complete refused any help given, believing that if he just ignored the problem, it would go away. He schooled himself in hiding his emotions, in keeping up a strong front, and making sure to never let himself be perceived in such away again.
Woah. I like this, what you've written up for Korrie that is. I can see Emilie and Korrie bonding over this , becoming good friends even. She has been a victim of bullying as well, though not on the same scale as he has been, they both have an interest in gymnastics and they are both romantics. >_>!
@SymphoniThanks, though I wish Emilie good luck in that regard, as Korrie refuses to talk about any of his past bullying experiences. The only constant reminder of it he keeps around is the name for his laptop, Alexandra, who he named as such and gave a submissive personality so that he can remember to never let himself become like that again. If she could ever get him to open up, then you're likely to find a much more depressed Korrie than most people are used to.
Ah, in that case I doubt what I've said will happen. If he doesn't say anything, she wouldn't know. And anyway she is really not a fan of the doom and gloom. We'll just have to see how he interacts with her then.
Boop. Peeking my head in! Just got back home from school, bummer that classes started, but hey...December's right around the corner! So, what's been happening?
