Apologies to all writing partners both current & prospective. Been sick for two weeks straight (and have to go to work regardless). No energy. Can't think straight. Taking a hiatus. Sorry again.

Where's the personality? The flavor? the drama? The struggle? The humanity? The texture of the time and the place in which this conversation is happening? In a word: where's the story?

If you had to pick the OP and ED for season 1 of a lighthearted (at least in the first season / first couple of volumes) show about teenaged delinquents, what would each of you go for?

My picks:
OP
ED

@Noblebandit Since my role at the moment is to sit and wait for most people to leave the roof, maybe you should godmod this for me. So I don't shoehorn it into my post and end up ruining the flow of the scene transition. But since Yuyua is by the door anyway, he'd offer you a little chat. He'll say that whenever he's at school, he's either in class or under that mulberry tree on the southeast end of the courtyard. That's his ... former turf. "Y'know, if you wanna figure out what's where around here, or just shoot the shit." Something like that.

If you need exact words then PM me ig, but I trust whatever ya put out, as you and I seem to be very similar RPers stylistically

It's a shitty situation to be in, but I agree with Noble. We can't hope for the perfect outcome until Courtaud logs back in to check his projects, which may or may not happen. (Believe me. :( ) And we can only wait so long before people fall out of the habit of replying to the thread, forgetting their obligation to a collaborative story which, in a certain sense, has forgotten them. (And it does not take much of a posting gap for this to happen.) So until he returns we have two actual, tangible options: godmod for Ishida Minato or let the thread die.

If it seems like I'm taking the act of godmoding too lightly, I suppose it's because I don't want to consider that second option at all. I suppose I'm willing to break decorum because the story has too much potential, and each of you has been too pleasant to write with, for me to give up on the thread so easily.

Of course, I'm praying that Courtaud comes back in the next four or seven or whatever days and makes all this apocalyptic talk look real freakin stupid in retrospect. But right now that's lookin like a miracle scenario.
If he still hasn't returned in roughly 4 days, and if everybody's cool with it, I'll gently write Ishida off the rooftop and have him leave someone in charge temporarily.

I've been thinking about it and from Ishida's point of view, the best candidate for a temporary boss is probably Tamura, then followed by Umeko, with Takanashi as a distant third.

My theory: Marada's involvement in the gang is too impersonal for Ishida's tastes; he would worry that she's too willing to turn the other members into sacrificial pawns in the event that she's placed in charge of the big picture. Yonaka is decisive and headstrong, but also too foolhardy for sensible decision-making. Toronaga conversely is a little on the uncertain side, hesitating, often until his back is to the wall, to act. A good thinker, though.

Meanwhile Tamura and Umeko strike the best balance of strategy and decisiveness, strength and cunning, courage and collectedness ...

This is only my speculation, though, and of course OOC willingness to play temporary GM takes precedence.
