[OOC] Shine City II: The Next Season

[Delta44]

Found a nice theme for any festival we have during the day. Man I love the Advance Wars soundtrack...!

[Viciousmarrow]

@lovely complex it's already done, I'm just in class and can't compile it xD

[Dolerman]

@BlueAjah just as my two lovely co-bosses, @Narcotic Dollie@MyCatGinger said, Shine city is an anime RP, so all pics have to be anime style...

but the girl you are using for the pics is VERY attractive, can you tell me her name? I want to see more of her pics for.....

research purposes

[Narcotic Dollie]

@Dynamo Frokane Hey boss, I was wondering when the next time skip was gonna be? I've pretty much put Nori to bed and I was trying to figure out if I needed to make a filler post or if I should wait to do the time warp. (Rocky Horror reference totally intended. :P )

[MyCatGinger]

@Narcotic Dollie I hope it's soon, Narcy! Shou is done for the evening too.
Shall we have interactions as collaborations take placeholders in the RP and allow them to be filled in later, if and when most people are done?

I believe Amity has a very special surprise planned for all in the next time skip...

I actually can't wait, squee.

[LovelyComplex]

I wouldn't mind a time skip either and just summing up the rest of the night >.>

[Narcotic Dollie]

@Dynamo Frokane Looks like a lot of votes for the time skip so...

...LET'S DO THE TIME WARP AGAIN!

[LovelyComplex]

If the time skip is a thing, I'd like to post ~cough~ the invitation ~cough~ that I've made xDD

Also to justify how people got tickets:

• You won them on the radio
• You received it from Kyle: (Nori, Sabine, Zac, Shou), who then asked you to hand out some more tickets to other people *cough* Nori has all the connections *cough*
• You've stumbled upon someone who had more than one ticket
• You mysteriously received a ticket in your mailbox *cough* People Amity bumped into on this lovely RP Sunday and thinks are pretty cool, or wants to apologize for her abrupt nature *cough*

And yeah... tickets getting passed from people to people xDD

[Viciousmarrow]

If the time warp is a thing then there will be no in-depth sentimental Al x Shizuka moments xD

[MyCatGinger]

@Viciousmarrow Then you and @Stern Algorithm can collaborate on a Google Docs and make those super intimate moments happen! :)

Just leave a placeholder post in the main RP and go to fill it back later, and notify us when it's all full.

That's what the old RP I'm still in albeit it's extreme hiatus right now used to do.

[Narcotic Dollie]

@MyCatGinger is right @Viciousmarrow, you can still have the sweetest, fluffiest moment with our darling Shizuka in a collab, and then replace your place holder with the interaction when you've wrapped it up. Just make sure you let us know when it's finished so we can all go back and read it.

And make sure you tell me, because I must fangirl about it.

Here's an example of a place holder I left for IrishAngelQueen, in case she decides she wants to add something to our flower shop scene later.

Around 9:30pm, Kyle's Place

Nori Haywood had made a grave error in tonight's movie selection.

She realized this mistake almost instantly when the movie opened to the Weatherman using his sledgehammer to violently dismember a cheerleader and the captain of the debate team who had been getting down and dirty during a thunderstorm, thus violating one of the cardinal rules of surviving a slasher fli...(I'm not gonna put the whole post up here, you get the idea!)

Parenthesis denotes that I tried to guess this character's social class based on what was in their bio/occupation. Some of this may be wrong.
Also this doesn't include NPCs, so factoring them in could give slightly different results.
Factoring in active vs. inactive characters makes a difference as well.

EDIT: Forgot to add Suzy.

[MyCatGinger]

@Viciousmarrow We could totally break that down into upper upper class and lower upper class, and upper middle class and lower middle class...and middle middle class...

For example, Amity, Axis, Aoi and Ryoki may be upper upper class, whereas Amaya or even Copen would be considered lower upper class...

Shou is upper middle, btw. :) SCA and a PhD pays pretty damn well.

[LovelyComplex]

@MyCatGinger Axis is just someone talked about xDD unless you want Amity's brother to become a thing in this roleplay. He's a total asshole xDD

[Narcotic Dollie]

Nori is lower middle class, if you're breaking it up into even more sub categories. (I'm not 100% sure where she's gonna stand now that her apartment has gone up in flames, but I think I got something figured out. ^.^)

[Dolerman]

I'll time skip after Nick's next post, we will be warping to New years eve in the afternoon (4-6pm).

So you guys want to do a masquerade ball? I will get working on some invitations.....

@MyCatGinger@Narcotic Dollie my dears, would you be able to gather all the suggested music posts that were recently in the thread and put them in my new Resources Thread for shine city, this will just be for us 3 in the boss circle to keep a hold of all new suggestions and deliberate which ones to use and where. I wouldve done it via PM but I have too many Steamy 1x1s Philosophical Discussions cramming up my Inbox.

Thank ya darlings x

[LovelyComplex]

@Dynamo Frokane Boss I already made an invitation. I just PM'ed it to you.

[Viciousmarrow]

@MyCatGinger We could break it down by that system, but that would require knowing income for each person. xD The problem with sub-divisions like "upper middle class" and such is that people define it differently. Some millionaires consider themselves to be upper middle class, for example.

I guess my division of people is more defining of the Upper Class, Middle Class, and Lower Class.
Upper Class = You live comfortably without worry and can afford luxury
Middle Class = Can afford some luxury and live comfortably, but may have some financial hurdles
Lower Class = You struggle, for real.

[Narcotic Dollie]

*Cracks her knuckles*

I'll get working on that boss. Gimme a little while. @Dynamo Frokane

[MyCatGinger]

I've got a chemistry experimental design report to write up (and am just sitting back after finishing a super tedious biology one), so Narcy, I'll be better help tomorrow! :)
