It's the reverse. Everyone is supposed to meet, discover powers, what have you with the hollow attack (hence Sayaka o nthe first cover) which will also alert Michiko to other people with powers at the school...which signals her own arc to begin.

Then Draken just has to haul Gralster's ugly butt to the school so that mayhem can begin! :smallbiggrin:

How far into the school year was this going to be? A week?

I think it was supposed to happen during / after a festival of some kind, some time into the school year, but since we have all the characters and requisite ghost in school right now, I think it would be the least trouble if we got over the haunted school plot right now.

strawberryman endorses this statement.

B-but Ayase's plot doesn't work then. :smallfrown: As long as the ghost plot starts tomorrow at the earliest, her powers could develop in an episode thread.

What are your plans behind Ayase again?

Awaken powers and fight a weak hollow tonight, before the big empowerment event.

:smallconfused: Why can't you merge those two events? The "big empowerment event" is basically "crap, Hollows!".

Ok.
So why don't we just wave our hands, and make it "the next night".
Frankly, from what I can tell, in-class RP seems to be stalling a lot of people out. Mixing some action in is good, so the sooner the better.:smallsigh:

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 11
Could the following framework work for your plot?
- Ayase leaves school
- Ayase meets a week Hollow, attracted by either the students, or events of Joint-Ops mission
- Ayase goes back to school, gets involved in the big plot

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 11
By the way, I've started some rough sketches on Sayaka....my first rough'll be up sometime soon! :smallsmile:
P.S. I'm totally game to start the arcs. It's what I've been waiting for!
P.P.S. I probably won't be on much August 27-29th, because it's the annual ani/manga convention at the Metro...70,000 + people! Anyone in Canada here....make sure you come out! (The prices are really good and the costumes are wicked).

Did you mean "leaves school in the middle of the day"? :smallconfused:
And now that I think of it, is it that hard to have something weird happen in school which isn't spirit-related? :smalltongue: We might need a few such events to fill things out.
We could skip to lunch now, if people don't feel they can do much of note while in class.

Prime, the issue is that we're trying to actually accomplish something directly plot related. We're wanting to, in fact, get some action.
I'm not completely against general interaction, but...there's only so much we can do with it. Especially when they're just teenagers sitting around having lunch, without any wacky powers and hijinks involved.
We already kind of did small-talk. Why can't we just jump to "small talk that happens right before the action"?
I mean, let's be honest. While we don't want the kids dimension hopping like Team Masato in the old game, I don't think we really want to do a huge amount of time in HS, either. "Slice of life" is good in small doses in a game like this.
Right now, this game needs a kick in the pants. Getting the meat of this 1st plot moving will give it that.

Keep in mind we've recently had... at least 5 people drop out for whatever reasons, mostly because nothing was happening.
Slightly desperate circumstances here.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 11
Well, then I suggest we get it moving! If the sketch I've made is good enough, I'll tidy it up and reset it to the proper proportions of the Bleach cover. Next step...actually buy Photoshop. I've been procrastinating getting that for ages.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 11
Ok. So we have a shrimp in classroom 2-3. Let the fun begin!
And by fun I mean the akwardness as a tiny hollowling enters the building. Muwahahaha.

I fully understand.
What if the party was retconned to happening more than one day before the start of school (which is what I originally thought it was, and planned for :smallconfused:). Then I can say that Ayase already has her powers right now.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 11
Alright, with the HG and Innis rugs pulled out from under me, I'm scrambling to figure out which direction I want to take things. I've been chatting with Frozen about the KC aspect of the plot, but now I'm uncertain about how to play out what has been discussed. Toss me a line Frozen, let's iron this out. :smallsmile:

That might be easiest. It's not a huge deal, I suppose.

Re: [BitP:R] BleachitP: Reborn: OOC Thread 11
I should start that episode thread then. It should be mostly Ayase at the start (unless Shin left some notes or something :smallwink:), but it could span a few days before the start of school and involve some other characters.
EDIT: Here we go

*Ahem* :smallwink:
To me, the direction of Kido Corps seems rather straight-forward - it will descent into the barely controlled chaos of poorly managed renovation, meaning such funny things as no running water or electricity for those living in the area, routine schedules going all to hell, kido-related explosions and stray monsters, etc. :smallcool: Really, one escaped Hollow from their basement would be enough to feed a small plot on its own.
Especially since Edge is supposed to control the construction division, and he is absent!
I'm currently waiting for kraz before continuing Sayuri's quest for vengeance. I think we can involve nobility of Seireitei in it at some point, to get on with our Takeshi related plans.
Overall, much of that plot will depend on other Kido Corps players describing what effects the whole hurdle will have on them. There's only so much we can do together.
As the SS thread doesn't seem to be moving much, I'm still partial to timeskipping it by few days to get it out of stalemate.

Spoiler
Show
When Ayase entered the classroom she gave "I couldn't find anything" as one of the reasons she was late. I had meant for her to lose her phone somewhere at home, and find it when she returned in the evening.

Either or. The assassin in question is Armin, so I imagine if someone wanted to hire him to assassinate a SS character, his employer would also have the means to get Armin in and out of Soul Society.
I figure, "Assassin coming" would be a good way to kick some sort of investigation plot into gear, even if it only leads to some minor villain.
