Small edit to my last post to show Suzuya is considering the task and unhappy about it.

@ShadowSunRisen
I think our characters will need to speak. :O

OOC, I think so many people being upset with the assignment means it will at least lead to interesting roleplaying.

But IC, about to add more griping. :P

I didn't realize IC people hated working together so much.

The first thing Wendil told me seeing my character is "Oh another solo". I thought it was on purpose at this point lol

I think quite a few has to do with the fact that we DO have some rebels against traditional authority structures. For them it's a team of two with a 'leader' that bothers them.

Just say one's a leader without them actually being one lmao

Just say one's a leader without them actually being one lmao

Ssssh, what is a story about teenage girls without needless drama?

I'm only on page 3 of my re-read, but I remember most everyone having more or less no problem teaming up and beating down pageless, and there was an angel nany telling people what to do there.

Real talk though, Stripes more dislikes the ministries power structure than teaming up, and we have a lot more fables now it seems. So she might be less opposed to teaming up now than when the RP started. Though as I've stated in the past, sticking her with Goodhope or some other hilarious combo is also something that would be fun to RP.

Lemme know when you get to the point where Camelot's team suffers a catastrophic meltdown. :P

Oh yeah, that. Too bad Camelot seems to have ghosted. It'd be interesting for Lupin and her to interact.

They haven't withdrawn fully, they're just a little uncertain where to inset themselves right now. So I expect them to be back after a short time skip.

Oh, noted.

...So anyone else gonna say hi to the newb? :D

Well Maria literally just said hi to her. x)

But didn't stick around for a convo though.

I like to think the Grand Minister uses a dart board to predict each team and see what’s funniest.

@TheWendil Real talk, RPG DOES have a dice system, so you could do something like roll for random teams if you wanted to. I've done similar stuff in RPs I GM, but the problem with random stuff is that while it's random, it can also be randomly unfunny.

So far the teams were paired via being roommates or how well their powers meshed with each other. IC wise, they keep getting switched around because the Minister thinks it’s funny. The dice would at least be in-character.

If I were to do it, I would do it like this.

#1: I'd create a list of the students participating, and give them each a number. For this example, I'll just have a bunch of students that are numbered.

Student 1
Student 2
Student 3
Student 4
Student 5
Student 6

#2: I have six students, So I will roll a 1d5 to see which of the students will be paired with student 6.

#3: I look at my roll and save the link to show that I'm not a cheater acting out of bias. But it's a 4, so student 6 is going to get paired with student 4

#4: I move all of the students into their new positions. Because student 4 got paired up with 6, 5 moves into student 4's old position. Not that it matters in this example, as we will be rolling for their partner, so their position is irrelevant. And since we only have 3 students left, we can roll a d3 to see who it will be.

Student 1
Student 2
Student 3
Student 5 (4)

#5: Continue rolling as necessary. Though for this example, there would only be two students left after this selection, so there would be no reason to do more rolls.

#6: Publicly announce the results, watch people ICly and OOCly scream.

It might be because it's late but my brain hurt.

The basic idea is that if you have any number of students, you pick the last one and roll a dice with the same number of sides as the remaining students to see who they are paired with. Then you keep removing paired students and roll for those that remain. so if you had ten, you'd roll a d9, then a d7, then a d5, then a d3.
