So, does this mean we all get to start thinking about how our characters know / relate to each other?

@Still Lake

Mmhm, you can definitely do that while composing your first posts

Ages to consider for characters, and yes, I included every character offered up via sheet. Even if they're not in the main cast, I'm treating them as part of the world for that purpose, unless their players ask me not to have them a part of the universe.

19: Walter
17: Will, Abbie, Danny, Ruby, Astrid, Lila, Bronwyn
16: Asélie, Gabi, Jessica, Amy
15: G-Mann

We can assume that characters have probably had classes with each other, with the exception of Jessica, since she literally just moved into town. The high school is not "huge" also, so we can assume that those that did go to Everbrook High at least saw each other in the hallways, even if they did not have classes with each other.

To give a sample, here's Will's HS Schedule before quarantine closed the school:

1st Period: Advanced Placement American Literature
2nd Period: Computer Science and Business
3rd Period: Trigonometry
4th Period: Honors Chemistry
5th Period: Study Hall
6th Period: Honors US History
7th Period: Film Studies

The schedule may be based on some high school courses I know of.

Since I teach.

I'm so old.

My school didn't have study hall and it was basically in a small town. JSYK.

I actually liked my health class because we mostly just watched movies, albeit health related.

Whenever I managed to secure Study Hall for half-to-a full year as a class, though, I just slept. We weren't supposed to but I already had my work done during lunch or class. Having a pencil in your hand and looking down at your paper(s) pretending to work while you rest your head on your arm is a brilliant strategy to catch some Zs, even more so since I had mine the last hour of the day.

[mickilennial]

not a very good use of time tbh

Hey, when you've got nothing to do and you're not allowed to make a sound or use your phone, it's the next best thing. Especially if you had morning classes that easily wore you out (looking at you weight lifting + math and science classes) both mentally and physically. I actually slept through a saturday detention like this too

[DruSM157]

I just put study hall because it's an easy trope you see in shows. We didn't have "study hall" but instead "student internships" where you basically helped a teacher, librarian or office worker during a class period and got to goof off for 50-90 minutes

@DruSM157

Sounds like my HS' student council kids instead of an actual study thing, they usually hung out in the counselors' room or helped with the library

[Akayaofthemoon]

1. HOLY SHIT!! I MADE IT IN!!

2. Ours was a study hall depended on grades. If you had passing grades in all your classes then you didn’t have to take it and got to leave an hour early (depending on rides and such). If you had a failing grade in a class, you went to the section of classes for that failed grade. Multiple failed grades meant you got to just choose an open class to be in.

3. I never took health or English in high school. I did ROTC which was a military program that took care of health/PE freshman year. Then I took a computer study’s that covered English the second year. Then a Business Technologies class that was like an internship or job shadowing at a library which meant two hours away from school and also covered English. By like, senior year, I only had to take history (my worst subject).

[mickilennial]

The fact you didn't have a proper English course annoys me the most.

[Still Lake]

My degree in English Literature is sobbing.

Don't mind it, it does that a lot. Bit of a whiner, really.

@Still Lake

First degree is in English focused Creative Writing
Masters level is Secondary Education English

The second degree has gotten more work haha

[Akayaofthemoon]

Well, I should say we didn’t do typical English courses. I did everything through the computer instead of it being hand written or having to read the assigned books of that year. Instead, I did lots of essays and got the freedom to choose what I read. The class also taught us how to use the different Microsoft programs available such as Publisher, Word, Excel, etc. I did take a normal English class Freshman year which I am glad for.
