4:08 PM] olivinearc: i'm slowly fillin it in (rip) but like ummm
[4:09 PM] olivinearc: so week one's i think is a tiny one, probably related to who you stumbled upon during the bite, where they have a little talk before the big doc checkup probs over a meal or a text but it still counts as a scene in terms of peopole like... searching for scenes of their char, if that makes sense
[4:09 PM] olivinearc: while week 2 is based more on affection points or choice and is a little more indepth
[4:11 PM] Thirteenth: that makes sense, yeah
[4:11 PM] Thirteenth: oof okay
[4:11 PM] olivinearc: like we can probs ditch the uhh week 1 variant if need be it's like this
[4:11 PM] olivinearc: one sec
[4:11 PM] olivinearc: 7:50 AM] olivinearc: I think my major hangup is constantly thinking people won't be happy dealing with scenes not related to their love interest even though intentionally this story isn't about it so idk why I keep even considering it
[7:50 AM] olivinearc: Like I can't streamline it that much more
[7:51 AM] NeonBlack: honestly, anyone who's ever played a vn knows that a common route means having to deal (and get to know) all the LIs before getting to pick
[7:52 AM] NeonBlack: heck, they might even change their minds halfway through about their favorites
[7:52 AM] NeonBlack: so don't worry too much about it, people will deal
[7:52 AM] NeonBlack: (and if they don't the ctrl key is right there)
[7:52 AM] olivinearc: True that
[7:52 AM] olivinearc: OK, ur right
[4:12 PM] Thirteenth: idk much about vns but neon sounds correct to me
[4:12 PM] olivinearc: yeah
[4:12 PM] olivinearc: yeahhh
[4:12 PM] olivinearc: it's just stressful even thinking about nov bc
[4:12 PM] olivinearc: di realistically would be like totally "nope" to all vamps esp in first week right
[4:12 PM] olivinearc: but we gotta break her out of that real careful
[4:13 PM] Thirteenth: right...
[4:13 PM] Thirteenth: i mean rooming with madi makes it hard to get away from it anyway
[4:13 PM] olivinearc: right, and she's kidna the meanest
[4:13 PM] olivinearc: but i do think like maybe
[4:13 PM] olivinearc: i like making her too harsh, but she might try to like
[4:13 PM] olivinearc: kinda sorta olivebranch
[4:14 PM] olivinearc: most of the events don't have notes (yet, they're only on the actual outline doc from before) but yvonne's 10th and madi's gacha both have ideas bc they weren't on the og doc
[4:14 PM] olivinearc: ugh spiderverse soundtrack is too gud
[4:15 PM] Thirteenth: it isssss. listened to it all day at work yesterday
[4:16 PM] Thirteenth: mm idk too much about madi but i feel like it makes sense for someone to try to keep the peace with someone they live with so
[4:16 PM] olivinearc: true
[4:16 PM] olivinearc: i feel like before this time, for the scenario to even work like
[4:16 PM] olivinearc: di intentionally avoids when madi is usually around??
[4:16 PM] olivinearc: esp bc she would have to schedule time to record her vids and everything
[4:17 PM] olivinearc: get out the house, generally hang around robin, general unapproachibilty and etc.
[4:17 PM] olivinearc: like di and madi have probs hung out once or twice int he past but di is. bad.
[4:18 PM] Thirteenth: oh, hmm...
[4:19 PM] olivinearc: roomates for about two months tops basically
[4:19 PM] olivinearc: and don't get me wrong
[4:19 PM] olivinearc: i think madi sort of in her own way just like
[4:19 PM] olivinearc: never bothered
[4:19 PM] olivinearc: not maliciously or anything but she's always sort of like. different social circles.
[4:19 PM] olivinearc: different obligations, having to be out at night a fair amount to hunt and such.
[4:19 PM] Thirteenth: makes sense
[4:20 PM] olivinearc: but now the group project gives them that excuse to hang around, and di likely sticks around indoors a little more now
[4:20 PM] olivinearc: in dorm, rather
[4:20 PM] olivinearc: bc of the ankle
[4:20 PM] olivinearc: ...
[4:20 PM] Thirteenth: truee
[4:20 PM] olivinearc: that could work
[4:20 PM] olivinearc: :thinking:
[4:20 PM] olivinearc: like i like things leading to other things yfeel jme fjsdlkdsf
[4:20 PM] olivinearc: which i think works, there's never going to be a full clear conscience that isn't "could this be BETTER?"
[4:21 PM] olivinearc: so i was thinking for week 2, lemme grab
[4:22 PM] olivinearc: - week 2: di is at the diner, seb tells her the book arrived and he leaves to go get it since he's literally on the same street, her and robin chat for a bit before he comes back. he can mention that people also tend to study at the bookstore.
- optional week 2: probably something with galatea since robin also owns a cat or a multi-chara scene, something something contest w/ forr or yv or whoever about who can pick up a bite the quickest. could also use parts in the callout thing w/ madi.
- week 3: di stops in at the bookstore because studying, talks about what happened with madi and/or finds madi just leaving, decides to study in here
- week 4: ex @ diner or bookstore
[4:23 PM] olivinearc: and then yvonne's was the "go out of her way" thing
[4:23 PM] Thirteenth: galatea?
[4:23 PM] olivinearc: oh, seb's cat
[4:23 PM] olivinearc: i didn't pick the name
[4:23 PM] olivinearc: im tolerant of it
[4:23 PM] olivinearc: bc apparently it's a super white star or wtvr
[4:23 PM] Thirteenth: XD no i just wasn't sure who that was supposed to be
[4:23 PM] olivinearc: and it's a black cat
[4:23 PM] Thirteenth: irony
[4:23 PM] Thirteenth: sounds like a wizard
[4:23 PM] olivinearc: yep, di calls him a nerd
[4:24 PM] olivinearc: re yv's 2nd week scene, which i hope isn't too redundant with the brunch thing in week one where di learns through the rival that yv canceled her plans with the other vamps to treat di specifically. but i think it's sort of like a reinforcement almost, bc di wouldn't know how big of a deal it really really is but then yv does it Again tm
[4:26 PM] olivinearc: and forrest's week 2 is... hm. it's a little more harder to put bc it's directly related to di's ankle healing at any particular time in week 2, where in celebration he invites her to a party that he promises won't have vampires just decent booze bc she mentioned wanting another shot at it. and then it somehow leads to di inviting madi as well, although as to why would require something specific in madi's week 2 since her week 1 is the project thing, hence maybe the mobage thing. bc the party is where week 3's madi bitch callout happens
[4:26 PM] olivinearc: if that makes sense
[4:26 PM] olivinearc: sorry i know you're not part of this project but you're really good at it 8);;
[4:27 PM] olivinearc: like i mean you don't have to just
[4:27 PM] olivinearc: gestures
[4:28 PM] Thirteenth: nah im just trying to put all the info together
[4:28 PM] olivinearc: it's admittedly A Lot
[4:28 PM] olivinearc: but hopefully in a good way instead of like. a cobbling of scenes together for the sake of it.
[4:28 PM] olivinearc: oh also the Idea bc like
[4:28 PM] olivinearc: from am arketing standpoint
[4:28 PM] olivinearc: people come for vampire shit
[4:29 PM] olivinearc: which means we could maybe use a bite as the sort of... di officially throws her hands up thing?
[4:29 PM] olivinearc: this sort of "just bite me and get it over with god, don't bite some poor other girl, i'll be fine. there - see? pansy."
[4:29 PM] olivinearc: like it's not this pure girl uwu thing out of the goodness out of her heart entirely but maybe if you tilt your head
[4:54 PM] Thirteenth: oh possibly! i guess depends on where she's at with whoever the other person is, but yeah
[4:54 PM] olivinearc: ye ye
[4:54 PM] olivinearc: in terms of money it'd probably be like. one specific person. CG's pricey
[4:54 PM] olivinearc: idk who tho hahah
[4:54 PM] olivinearc: but yeah, just what i've been thinkin on the past couple days
[5:01 PM] olivinearc: i feel like i was going somewhere and just
[5:01 PM] olivinearc: blanked
[5:01 PM] olivinearc: m-maybe questions
[5:01 PM] olivinearc: or
[5:01 PM] olivinearc: smth
[5:04 PM] Thirteenth: i think it started with realizing di could get closer to madi since she's kinda stuck indoors because of her ankle plus the project?
[5:04 PM] olivinearc: OH, RIGHT
[5:04 PM] olivinearc: and by then it's week 2 and di is like.
[5:04 PM] olivinearc: like idk i think i'm a pushover in some ways
[5:05 PM] olivinearc: bc you know i hold nuzforum grudges but i mean even after a week i think di is just like
[5:05 PM] olivinearc: like time heals the wound a fair amount
[5:05 PM] olivinearc: but i hope people don't complain about that
[5:05 PM] olivinearc: like by end of week 1 she's totally more bitched out about the ankle than the whole vamp thing, esp if hunter talks with her like "yeah just talk to me and i'll beat them up" on the 7th bc technically speaking what happened on the demo is a big n  O PE
[5:08 PM] Thirteenth: it's prob also a little easier to be angry about something normal than something super wtf
[5:09 PM] olivinearc: this also comes to mind but i'm wondering if another event for madi week one is her just like
[5:09 PM] olivinearc: coming back to the dorm after feeding and di catches her now
[5:09 PM] olivinearc: and di might be like "how did i never catch this????" and madi might be like "well i usually stay the night over somewhere else but i forgot my phone and i have gacha to get to"
[5:09 PM] olivinearc: and di is like just what the FUCK
[5:10 PM] Thirteenth: a;skdnf;asdf
[5:10 PM] Thirteenth: and i have gacha to get to....
[5:10 PM] olivinearc: YEAH
[5:10 PM] olivinearc: like on one hand i feel like it should be played not so silly on the first week but ALSO....
[5:10 PM] olivinearc: something has to give
[5:11 PM] olivinearc: some old outline scenes we had were like di and madi bonding over some asshole tripping the fire alarm at 4 am and stuff like that
[5:11 PM] olivinearc: little gestures where di just like. kinda takes madi off her vampire intimidation pedestal
[5:12 PM] olivinearc: but i think if we're careful we can add that nuance - that even though something silly goes down or she might get along with her literal roommate, she's still overall Not That Okay, Not Yet
[5:13 PM] olivinearc: like it's kinda hard to say i think just bc
[5:13 PM] olivinearc: tech speaking they did bend over backwards for di
[5:14 PM] olivinearc: and having them apologize for them simply existing, especially when she doesn't know the lore...
[5:16 PM] Thirteenth: nah keep it, it's funny and madi I'm sure doesn't see it as a super big deal so
