				Welcome to the game, ya'll. Make yourself at home. I'm not an extremely experienced GM or anything so I hope you can excuse this confused mess of a first post - I'm actually about to turn in, and I'm reading the last few pages of 1984, so I'm not quite in the mood to look up pictures of girl's high schools right now. ==;; I'll fix it up in the morning.<br><br>In general terms: Please remember that the focus of this thread is more 'light and fluffy' than 'hot and sweaty', although feel free to go in that direction if it comes up; that's just not the aim of the game, is all. We're talking shoujo-ai here, girl's love, with the high romance and the drama and the cuteness and the school-girl-ness.<br><br>Anyway! Welcome again, and play nice!<br><br>I'll start the Hanjuku thread proper when we have at least 5 character profiles up. In the meantime, feel free to relax in here, plan stuff out, make up prior relationships - these girls have been in school together for at least a year, after all (excepting transfer students, and it's not as if the internet doesn't exist yet, you know?)

				Though I'm not sure of Naoto would really be close friends with any of the other characters thus far, barring Haya perhaps from her weekly visits to the gym, I imagine there could be the possibility for preexisting animosity between her and Mayumi.&nbsp; They're both rather outspoken and independent girls, but are FAR on the opposite sides of the academic spectrum.&nbsp; No doubt she would be more than a little irked by Naoto's habit of breaking school rules, slacking off, and actually going so far as to drink on campus.

				Haya, as noted, is a transfer student.&nbsp; Unless there's a sports fanatic in the group, I doubt she's really close friends with anyone, but probably on nodding acquaintances with a lot of girls.&nbsp; If it turns out that the other Ito can't change 'er name and we're cousins or something, then we'll work out a bit more of their relationship.

				That's what I thought too, particularly at the "accepting of illicit activities" part of her profile.&nbsp; She'd probably be one of the people that has spied Naoto getting into mischief on the grounds from time to time.

				Exactly what I meant!&nbsp; Not really enemies, as Naoto is even too lazy to bother holding grudges for very long, but opposites that are prone to clashing on occasion.

				If you've read Shoujo Sect, I'd imagine that the relationship between Naoto and Mayumi might be similar to the relationship between Naitou Momoko-chan and Hunter Shinobu-chan. :-)

				I haven't, but doing a little research on the subject...<br><br><em>In regards to coming in late, sleeping in class, generally being a delinquent and failing grades, Shinobu is ahead of the curve.</em><br><br>Change "failing" to "poor" and that sounds like the perfect description of Naoto!&nbsp; &nbsp;;D<br>

				;D<br><br>I think it would be fun to work in maybe one or two scenes where the girls go to a nearby boys' academy to watch a sports game (soccer, basketball, volleyball, tennis...), or maybe get asked out to goukons / karaoke parties. I know that this story will be shoujo-ai, but it'd be fun to work in some light flirtation scenes. ;)<br><br>I do wish there were more female gamers interested, though. This sounds like it will be such a cute game. :-)<br><br>Oh, and you can read the series here (http://www.mangafox.com/manga/shoujo_sect/v01/c001/). It's definitely NSFW, though - some pretty hot lesbian sex scenes in this manga. ;)

				Shoujo Sect is wonderful. A far better manga than an anime, although I do like the voice acting. And the effect of putting piano music over a lot of the sex makes it instantly classy... which is pretty goddamn ridiculous, because I recognize half of the music; I've <em>played</em> half that music. It's very offputting. Yet somehow classy...

				Thanks for the link!&nbsp; And yes, I'm sure Naoto would be all for sneaking over to the boy's academy for kicks.&nbsp; Hell, she'd probably be the one instigating that sort of mischief. <br><br>**Edit**<br><br>Wooo Nelly, Hunter certainly is a little deviant, isn't she?&nbsp; &nbsp;;D&nbsp; Naoto isn't nearly so promiscuous as all that though.&nbsp; As I outlined in my newer profile, she has a tendency to wear too many layers and seems to avoid baring too much skin and accentuating her feminine figure.

				I definitely enjoyed the manga, though the anime not so much. I only wish more of the chapters were scanlated for our reading pleasure!<br><br>In any case, are we going to have all of them be in the same "class" as each other (2-1 or 2-A, etc.). That way, they would definitely have had a chance to interact with each other, and most of them will have known each other for some time.

				I'd say that would be the best way of doing things.&nbsp; As for our "teacher" character, as her new class is mandatory it seems like they at least have the chance of having that one class together.

				Oh, yes, my character is very slender (if you couldn't tell by her height and weight). She's also a model, which would tend to necessitate that - just look at any famous Japanese model. :-)<br><br>Here is the full-body image I used for my character, by the by. I forgot how much post-processing I had to do, so like as not, I'm not going to change Mayumi's name, since I don't want to deal with it. xD<br><br>(http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/5689/mayue.jpg) (http://img8.imageshack.us/img8/5689/mayue.jpg)<br><br><hr><br>By the by... when will we be starting?

				I was thinking Health &amp; Fitness would be the phy ed class as well and required every year. The first two years will be mostly team sports and rules. The classes you will have will be recreational fitness and activities plus higher level health topics like sex education. Must be of suitable age so in the site guidelines for that area.<br><br>Examples here would be for activities would be meal planning and diet, everyday fitness, sports you might do for fun like golf or frisbee etc. Think more fun and maybe something like a weekend hike and camping trip later on in the country and sailboating, swiming and diving and the like. What do you think?<br><br>Any ideas for any afterschool clubs I was thinking something good like the Girl Scouts might be nice or an environmental club or students for peace or something.

				There's some standard Anime Clubs which I think it would be nice to acknowledge the existence of, if not to openly join (flavour, y'know) - Tea Ceremony Club, Calligraphy Club, Swimming, Literature, Computer Society, <del>(SOS Brigade)</del>, and so on.<br><br>I think the Girl Scouts idea you've kind of covered in your whole PE thing. Environmental Club, Students for Peace (I'm seeing this kind of like a Model UN, actually)... cool beans. Hmmm... an Art Club? Movie Clubs? Acting?

				By the way, since we have one teacher player-character at the moment, I figure she should be our homeroom teacher, to maxamise exposure to us knowledge-deficient students. Y'dig?<br><br>/edit And I realise normally you'd vote in the class rep about a week after school begins, but let's just pretend Hanjuku does it different... or something. MST3K MANTRA!
