Retcon powers activate!

Sean McAster


Sean took one look at the list, and immediately took the path of least resistance.
"Rozmonda Arensdorf" he shouted, sticking his arm into the air. "Calling Rozmonda Arensdorf! Sean McAster to Rozmonda Arensdorf!" He began walking through the crowd, searching for his partner.




"Oh no. Oh no, it's happening..." Mari sighed, shaking her head as the list of names flashed brightly overhead, lording over the students (as it should); the cacophony that was every pair trying to find one another than soon followed made her instinctively shrink back. That was only temporary, though, as her ears got used to the blaring noise reminiscent to that of a concert (or so she assumed; she'd never been to one, but she'd seen enough online to assume). The listing seemed to be organized by the names of the Tuners, which meant that it would end up being more of a hassle to hunt for her partner that it would him... Or her... Well, whatever worked.

With that in mind, Mari quietly moved to the back of the room and... Well, waited. It'd be much easier to find her partner (and vice versa) if the rowdy ones did their jobs first. Granted, it'd take a bit longer this way, but if it meant not having to shove her way through this sea of people...


Akeya Kagura


Determined to be more dignified that running around and shouting, Kagura searched for her partner more quietly. At last she spotted a girl with short, dark hair whose face actually matched the picture of her partner. She had withdrawn from the main riot to the back of the room, and so Kagura push through the crowd, mummurring apologies as she went.
"Hello? Kougami Mari? My name is Akeya Kagura, I believe we are partners. Pleased to meet you." Kagura said with a small bow when she finally reached the girl.
If you're gonna retcon from that point, then that's fine by me.

Sounds good to me too. I'd pretty much just have Rozmonda do her initial stand around in plain sight thing, up until Sean started yelling and she notices it, then she'd probably just do something like wave and move towards him so that he's unlikely to have any trouble spotting her.


All right. Let me get started then.
@Xeronoia [@PKMNBOY]

So, I was thinking, for Sean and Rozmonda I could just redo Sean's "searching for partner" post with Rozmonda's name this time, and go from there, while for Mari I could just quote the post were Mari retrears and waits for her partner to find her and have Kagura act in response to that.

Sound good?
The whole "even number of characters" really makes things easier.
That's too bad. Good luck!
A retcon collab would work best for me too; frankly I get the best sense of my characters by fumbling around with them in the beginning and basically working out who they are beyond a basic out line as I go along. I'd have to do it tomorrow night, though. I'm about to go to sleep, and I have plans during the day.

@Xeronoia I imagine it'd probably be pretty easy for them to find each other, since Rozmonda noticed him sleeping during the assembly so she might recognize him, to say nothing of the fact that he stuck up his arm and started yelling for his partner the literal instant the professor was done talking. Beyond that...I don't know. Like I said, I develop my characters mostly by playing them, and I haven't done much with Sean yet. He'd probably suggest going to the room, since they have beds for napping, and offer to carry her stuff if she has any because his mother would tell him to be a gentleman.
Post here or in the IC? If here, I think we already said we're going with Mari/Kargura and Sean/Rozmonda, as for the rest, they can go together if they get created.

Xeronoia pretty much took the words out of my mouth.

If in the IC, then same question as PKMNBOY.
I mean, it seems to be the most efficient option at the moment, so I have no qualms about that.


<Snipped quote by VitaVitaAR>

Well given there's two missing characters who don't exist yet, there's really not any actual option. I don't mind Rozmonda with Sean though.


*Fist pump*
Well, Mari was among my top picks for Kagura, and Rozmonda for Sean, so I'd prefer being paired with them.
Why bother editing? Just hash out a common 'this happened' idea and carry on. No need to get even MORE bogged down.


I am for this. Anything that lets us move forward instead of re-covering old ground.
