				The whole premise of the roleplay would be that the teachers / heads at an all girls boarding school decide to change the status from the all girls boarding school to a mixed gender boarding school. As the heads are unsure of what will happen if they do decide to change the school, they decide to perform a 'test-run' as it were, allowing a certain number of guys (unsure of how many as of yet) into the school to participate in the test run, changing the school as the school has been getting less and less students and as such less and less money. The teachers of the school (despite being of a high-class) would have forgotten to add gender specific things (i.e. gender specific changing rooms, toilets etc).<br>The school is&nbsp; in Japan, Honshū. <br>It will be the start of a school year, in winter, in the year 2009<br>And the class shedual / timetable: (http://img224.imageshack.us/img224/9477/timetablepm4.th.jpg) (http://img224.imageshack.us/my.php?image=timetablepm4.jpg)(http://img224.imageshack.us/images/thpix.gif) (http://g.imageshack.us/thpix.php)<br><br>Sendai will cater for breakfast and dinner, which will be in the canteen in the main block. Lunch is to be prepaired by students; limited food will be avalible for students for free at the canteen, there will be a limited amount of stock allowed to students and no garantees are given on how good the food will be. , however any food not served in the canteen will have to be bought outside the school. <br>The school will only allow people outside grounds from 7:00 am to 10:00 pm.<br><br>People who've said their interested:<br>Chris Brady<br>kasen03 <br>Haibane<br>Kai<br>Akiko<br>Stevej101<br>ramster<br>Cobra<br>loki<br>Caeli<br><br>Dorms (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=22740.0) - contains dorm sleeping layouts as well.<br>Second wing (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=22690.0) - where the first post is.<br>Activities hall (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=22689.0)<br>Main block (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=22688.0)<br>Gym (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=22687.0)<br>Front ground (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=22685.0)<br>Back ground (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=22686.0)<br>Character page (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=22524.msg879127#msg879127) - post you characters here.<br>Town (http://elliquiy.com/forums/index.php?topic=23650.0)

				Hmm, I wasn't sure, but school uniforms sound like a good idea, unless it's based in England or Japan (as far as I know) it would be a high-class school (unless no school in America has uniforms). And Akiko suggested fuku-type (http://upload.wikimedia.org/wikipedia/commons/9/92/Sailor-fuku_for_summer.jpg) uniforms, it could be set in Japan. I was thinking more of a normal middle class-ish school though. And the type...a general boarding school, I'd guess.<br>Unless lots of people would prefer it to be a dfferent type, of course.

				Hi, and yes, I'm interested. I think a game like this would benefit from a lot of players though.<br><br>A USA setting doesn't much grab me as I know so little about it and American high schools tend not to get portrayed very well on TV...<br><br>A Japanese setting would be great, as I'm into that scene in a big way. The seifuku is nice but tends to be worn more in middle-schools in Japan. I rather like blazer and pleated skirt combination:<br><br>(http://i279.photobucket.com/albums/kk137/HaibaneR/18_700.jpg)<br><br>Boys would wear a necktie instead of the cravat and dark trousers. The skirts of course would be ridiculously short and flippy! I think whichever we choose a uniform is a good idea since no-one needs to go into a description of what they are wearing, which makes life easier for us all. A boy might have his blazer off or a girl might have thigh highs instead of knee socks but essentially its easy for us all to mentally picture the other person.<br><br>I have a serious soft spot though for the Gakuran, the boys jacket with the standing collar, I find that seriously sexy.<br><br>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Japanese_school_uniform<br><br>and<br><br>http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Image:Ichikawa_Gakuen_school_uniform.jpg<br><br>In fact that display case shows us three variants, these are all winter uniform I think as the seifuku is dark.<br><br>Anyway... enough about Japanese school uniforms... I'm not obsessed honest!<br><br>I like the idea of a private girls academy, quite high class but which has had falling attendances and so is struggling financially. The Principal and Board of Governesses decided to open the academy up to boys as well (fee-paying, high class) and as Combi says they don't think it through properly...<br><br>(Its a silly premise but hey, we're here to have fun, right? And if it were a state school they'd do it right, so a small private academy makes the screw up a little more beleivable.)<br><br>We can have a couple of male teachers join the staff and a few men join the Board too.<br><br>I would be interested in playing two characters, a teacher and a student if you wanted any teacher interaction Combi? If several of us played teachers we could have interactions in the Staff Lounge too.

				This sounds like an exciting prospect, I volunteer for any male teaching positions as needed ;) And might well enroll a male student as well. Although it looks like the male:female ratio is a bit askew at the moment, so I won't&nbsp; add my frankfurter to the sausagefest until some more ladies come along to balance things out. Even a formerly all girls school should have more girls around than boys.

				If we do decide to go the Japanese way (which, by votes it seems to be swinging that way) it would seem that middle school (as hai said) is where they wear fuku, and are generally fifteen years old at max, and unless we kept this a non-sexually explicit roleplay (which, obviously is not the intention), we wouldn't be able to have them. But using wiki as a resource (which even I know you should take with a grain of salt), the sērā-fuku is also worn by high-school students. So, I don't see why senior students could be given the choice between keeping their sera-fuku or changing it to one like Hai's idea?<br><br>Just to cater to everyone here. n.n<br><br>And yeah, I don't see why people couldn't roleplay as two different people, and male teachers does sound exciting. ;D<br><br><br>But yeah, I think I know more guys than girls on this, so sent the idea out to them as well as the girls I know, but hopefully this will attract some attention from some girls. ;D

				I'm interested on the condition swings to a more... desirable female:male ratio.&nbsp; I think it's more like 1:2 now where as I'd hope for more 2:1, or at least 1:1.<br><br>All female schools don't have to have all female teachers.&nbsp; I've had it happen twice to friends of mine who's school were all female and they actually had a surprising number of male teachers (more than women if I recall).&nbsp; In fact one of their schools went through this coed process two years ago, first year there were so few men and most of them left as they were made to feel unwanted by the older girls who'd grown very accustomed to it being an all female school.&nbsp; The following year turned out to be much better as the bitter women had graduated.<br><br>Anywho, I'm on board with the idea so far.&nbsp; I'd be happy to be a teacher, faculty member of some sorts, or student.&nbsp; Very flexible to what ever is needed of me in this so long as it's not just a sausage fest.&nbsp; No fault of your own sweet Combi, if I were pressed to drum up males I'm not sure I could do so easily.&nbsp; Good luck on getting this rolling, just let me know.&nbsp; Cheers!<br><br>

I think we should all play students, I kind of assumed that was a given. I only volunteered to be a teacher too in case Combi wanted to go down that route. You could do a school game that's focused entirely on the students and the teachers and teaching don't come into it.<br><br>The two school games I have RP'd in the teachers do tend to dominate playa little bit, so care is needed there. Bringing in teacher characters will give the game a very different flavour/atmosphere to all students.<br><br>My idea was we could have a teacher v teacher game as a bonus to the student v student one. Or Combi could just NPC any teachers as needed.<br><br>So what will the focus be? Purely kids? Kids and teachers? Or what?<br><br>Also - ah, a boarding school. That's interesting. That means do we have a dormitory, single rooms or 'study buddies' who share a twin room? The latter is fun but forces players into pairs from the start. Not that room sharing means the two are automatically a couple.<br><br>I think before male players start taking up female roles we should see how many more girls join... there may not be a need for it if we get enough ladies.<br>

				Yeah, I don't see why not. <br>To the administrators, I suppose the students would just be student ID numbers or names.<br><br>So, unless people wanted to pick their partners, rater than it being random, that would be one way the students could be forced to co-ed. ;D

				We could let people choose; either blue or green. That's what happened in my school I think; you got a selection of colours that you couldn't stray from. But yes, I agree about the name.

				Those last two pictures of the girls are great, Caeli, exactly what I imagined. One of them has a skirt that is both blue <em>and</em> green tartan. Blue or green is fine - Combi, its your call but I agree with Caeli that Japanese schools (especially the top ones) are VERY strict on uniform and not a lot of variation would be allowed, maybe sock length and colour for the girls...for the boys I can't think of much to vary at all.<br><br>The top pic of the two boys is perfect! But... second one... Nooooo! Tartan trousers... Nooooo!

				The Japanese school day begins with everyone going to their classroom, often they do some studying and chatting, then the bell rings, then the sensei comes in, calls register. The class reps read out notices then there is usually a 10 minute homeroom study period (some talking allowed), then first lesson begins.<br><br>Now if we are all in one class all of that time can be used for character interaction. If we are in different classes - we can't interact except maybe at lunch break and after school hours or in the school clubs. Or in the halls/dorms.

				Japanese High School year starts on 1st April with everyone aged 15. This is 9th grade. (It's different to the USA). During this first year they will all turn 16. During 10th grade they are all 16/become 17 and during 11th grade they are all 17/become 18.<br><br>So you can start the calendar either in (say) September of 9th grade and assume everyone by then has had their birthday (we all begin aged 16) or begin the game calendar at any point in 10th grade where we can choose between 16/17 or at any point in 11th grade for 17/18 year olds.<br><br>So first, decide the grade and the date, that dictates our chars ages ;)<br><br>BTW the first trimester is April to July, the second is September to December and the third is about January to March. ;D

				The legal age for sexual relations in Japan is 14 I think, it might be 15. It's certainly lower than anywhere in the west other than Italy where it is 13.

That means, if we are Japanese 10th graders, the game will have to be set after 1 Nov, so in the winter and before the next April when 11th grade starts. Now if you make her 16 we can have the game set any time in 10th grade between April and October. If you make her 18 the same range of months apply and we are 11th graders...<br><br>I just find it much easier to not include a date of birth in school settings games ;)<br><br>Or leave it as it is and we play the wintertime.<br><br>_____________________________________________<br>EDIT: I see Akiko's character's DOB is 24 December, which means our game must be set now after the winter break, so in Jan/Feb :( I think we need to either delete all references to birthdays and star signs or we declare ourselves 11th graders, that is, we start the year aged 17 and turn 18 during the year... *sigh*<br><br>And uh... where are the boys???&nbsp; :'(<br><br>And Akiko - why mention her clothing?

				I've added a second <del>nerd</del>, er... girl. And used a real photo for my first character since no-one else used an anime portrait. The hair is different so I've altered her description a little too.<br><br>Great to see the boys finally coming out of the woodwork ;) Yay! One thing, Steve, Japanese names are written with family name first, then the given name. Also the proper way everyone would refer to each other initially is "surname-san", so your boy would be called "Naotake-san". The honorific "-san" is a way everyone politely addresses people who are their social equal.<br><br>Kids of the same sex who (fairly quickly) would get to know each other would drop the "-san" and just refer to each other by the family name. Again, after a variable period (could be hours, could be months) when they get very good friends they will use the first name and variations on it, nicknames etc, but the key thing is the formal address part which always happens and if teh relationship stays formal (like it would in a school unless a friendship developed) would always be used.<br><br>When boys and girls get chummy with each other and the social barriers come down, boys might get referred to as "surname-kun" or "first name-kun", the "-kun" honorific is just a more relaxed formality beyond "-san". Boys would rarely use this with their boy friends, girls would use it with boys and adults with boys. For girls the equivalent is "-chan" though on occasion girls will call their girl friends variations on this "nickname-chan" and so on.<br><br>You'll get the hang of it. I can scribble out a brief Japanese-English dictionary if people are interested, just the simple stuff.

				Kai - I think we need males still. I mean each girl can take up to three boys at once, so there's plenty to go before we reach saturation ;)<br><br>Also while we've had fewer females show an interest more of them have got characters done which indicates we may have a bigger drop-out ration among the males.

				Oh, well, it seems to vary from school to school then since a friend of mine is a Japanese HS teacher in Miyazaki Prefecture and in his school the students move around between classes ;)<br><br>Remember a lot of classes need specialist equipment: PE, art, music, the sciences, cookery, IT, blah blah, so the students must walk around campus a lot anyway.<br><br>Also there is this unique ritual in Japanese schools of the indoor footwear which are soft slipons, often white. Just inside the main entrance are rows of small lockers about 1 foot square in which students put their outdoor shoes and put on the indoor slippers. These are worn around campus all day except lunch break when outdoor shoes are worn when students go outside.<br><br>Usually between buildings will always be covered walkways so the students use these and keep their indoor shoes on.<br><br>Its a ritual thing, a cleanliness thing I assume in the same way that everyone takes off their outdoor shoes in the home, even visitors.<br><br>The shoe lockers are famous in anime and manga for people to leave 'confession' letters in for someone they love ;)<br><br>Full sized lockers, US high school style, are at the back of the classroom and sports equipment, books and big stuff like musical instruments can be stored here.<br><br>I have no idea how the indoor/outdoor shoe business would be handled in a boarding school. I'm guessing indoor slippers are worn in the dorm with shoelockers in the dorm entrance corridor, so the outdoor shoes are put on to walk across campus to the main building, the indoor slippers being carrie din the hand or a bag...? Then at the main building the outdoor shoes go in the lockers there and the slippers are put on... but I'm totally guessing here. &nbsp;

				If you've read Hana Kimi before, the characters all wear outdoor shoes walking from their dorms to the school, and when they get to the main entrance of the school complex (i.e., the first floor / first building of the school) that's where the rows of shoe lockers are. However, in Hana Kimi, the school dorms were all "off campus", so to speak - that is, the school complex was gated, and the three school dorms were about five to ten minutes' walk away.

				I've not heard of 'Hana Kimi' sadly. There are a number of 'western' style homes and hotels now appearing in Japan where the people/guests keep their outdoor shoes on. I guess we could have that convention in this game. Sendai is a western style school. It would make things easier although the indoor shoes convention I do find rather sweet and unusual.

				I really do prefer the indoor shoes for the school complex, at least. And we could really theoretically have the same idea at the dorms - at the entrance, change to socks / indoor slippers.<br><br><strong>Edit:</strong> Here's some examples of the school shoe lockers and/or shoes: [ 1 ] (http://www.onemanga.com/Hana_Kimi/7/20/) [ 2 ] (http://www.onemanga.com/Hana_Kimi/8/23/) [ 3 ] (http://www.rakuten.co.jp/cockpit/491436/1486828/) [ 4 ] (http://www.stubers.org/jamesstuff/Site%20Potentials/104_0450.jpg) [ 5 ] (http://photos-c.ak.facebook.com/photos-ak-sf2p/v80/84/49/24400320/n24400320_31649450_2415.jpg)<br><br><strong>Another edit:</strong> A personal-experience bit about schools in Japan, dated from 2000. Click here to read it. (http://everything2.com/e2node/Senior%2520high%2520school) It seems to be a very concise, overall look at the system as a whole, which might be helpful to those who don't usually watch Japanese dramas/anime, read manga, and are not Japanophiles.

				Useful stuff. Thanks. I too would like to include Japanese elements like the indoor shoes but some of the players who don't know the culture may just be confused.<br><br>I suppose we could have slippers for the main building and wear outdoor shoes across campus and go in socks, stockings or bare feet in the dorm. Which would be quite fun actually, rather relaxed and cosy. Sort of chummy, like sharing a house together.

I'm doubting Akiko should be so lucky, even as she has no male brethren, no known living uncles, cousins, etc.<br><br>In fact, noble-bred members of the Yakuza carry theirs on occasion.

				I thought it was just a dark blazer and dark green or dark blue plaid skirt with necktie to match. Dark trousers and Gakuran jacket for the boys.

				Well, I think I did specify color in my post, but I can change it if Combi decides differently. However, I did make the neckties different colors for students of different years - i.e., red for first-years, green for second-years (us), blue for third-years. I was wondering if everybody was okay with that...?

				There seems to be a fair bit of mind reading going on in this game. My character Rikako has no particular expression on her face at all... so why people would think she is thinking certain things, or would assume certain things about her I don't know.<br><br>My character is outgoing and fun and chatty but not obviously obsessed with sex, and I do hint that she has a secret which means no-one knows about it, so its probably best if people just desist from the mind reading if you could thanks.

If you listen carefully while watching anime you should pick <em>something</em> up. It might sound like 'des-h'; the 'h' being merely the briefest and softest breathed-out sound cut short.

Almost no syllables are stressed and sounds smooth together making learning to speak it well by foreigners hard.<br><br>But the native speakers of many languages mangle their own language as they speak, English has many words garbled when it's spoken fast, e.g. 'little' is often spewed out as 'lil'. The 't' in many English words just gets lost in the laziness of common speech.<br><br>The books I've bought on learning Japanese stress that there are in truth <em>no</em> silent syllables in true Japanese, its just that in practice they often end up so - or nearly so. The 'i' on the end of words ending in 'ai' being a case I think (though I'm no expert): it should be pronounced separately. One of the more interesting things to watch is the theme songs of some anime series like Air and Kanon, as the singer sings the lyrics, the Romaji text on the screen is highlighted (that old Karaoke fad you know!) Now of course in sung Japanese stresses and syllable length come out different again, like they do in many languages songs but even so, its educational to listen to the sound and see the actual syllables being highlighted.<br><br>And yeah, we hijacked the thread, but it's still interesting and vaguely relevant.

				Oh, right, I knew that--the shapes are formed, but not fully vocalized. Quite obvious in words (for lack of a better word) like deshita.<br><br>The syllable stressing is pitch based instead of volume.<br><br>Yeah, natives messing up makes sense, hehehe.

				Aiden - hi. Send a character via PM to Combicon, since it's her game. You'll need to be maale, Japanese, 17 years old and from a well to do background - upper middle class.<br><br>Kai - You only really need to read the threads your character is active in - in your case the Main Block and now the Dorm since he's being sent up there to unpack. In the Dorm thread check your bed location on the plan and when you go in your room make sure you interact with only those people in your room. I think that covers it.<br><br>Fujiwara-sensei was a little anticlimactic there, Akiko, but I didn't want a teacher having a sexual incident with a student. The talk after class will settle that scene out and then Fujiwara will head off to the staff suite to meet her new male colleagues.

				Katra's question is a good one KA, do we have afternoon classes today?<br><br>I'd imagine the school principals would call some sort of big assembly and give out the official news to everyone then either dismiss the school to the dorms to let them mingle or go on with ordinary classes (which we could perhaps skip so we end near mealtime).<br><br>Either of those options looks realistic to me.

I'll alter my post so that Fujiwara calls her Kiminikobe-kouchou-sensei.<br><br>I take it her name is NOT given in Japanese format, family name first, it's just that 'Yoshimi' sounds like a first name and 'Kiminikobe' sounds like a family name, so I went with 'Kiminikobe'.<br><br>And yes... hot springs.

				*laughs* I don't think there's really a need to call dibs on anyone - it really just amounts to how the scenes work out, I'd think.

As you go in and turn right, on your right is the <strong>lounge area (2)</strong> with easy chairs, sofas, etc. There's a TV, DVD player and music centre here. Beyond these is the communal <strong>kitchen area (3)</strong> with the side nearest the lounge being a bar with several high stools.<br><br>All that's needed in the kitchen - sinks, cookers, fridge-freezers, dishwashers, laundry washing machines are under the worktops. Above the worktops both sides are glass fronted and backed cupboards for crockery. These hang from the ceiling with a space below to pass things across the counters to the bar or dining area.<br><br>Beyond the kitchen is a big communal <strong>dining table with bench seating (4)</strong>. The students receive main meals in the school restaurant but can prepare their own breakfasts here if they wish and cook at weekends or later in the evening.<br><br>Beyond the dining area is a sound-proofed partition for the library and general <strong>communal study area (5)</strong> which is supposed to be a 'quiet zone'.<br><br>As you turn into the lounge area from the entrance, to your left are the <strong>communal showers (6)</strong> and <strong>toilets (7)</strong>. At the end of the row of sinks is a <strong>machine dispensing feminine supplies (8 )</strong>. Behind a partition are two sets of <strong>shower cubicles with lockers/changing tables opposite (6)</strong>. The shower cubicles have smoked glass fronts and sides.<br><br>The pale grey area is a general <strong>chillout zone (9)</strong> with games such as table tennis, darts, mini-football, a couple of pinball machines and a zone at the far end with <strong>beanbags and games consoles with a TV set (10)</strong>.<br><br>There are two <strong>fire exits (11, 12)</strong> indicated in the corridors.<br><br>There are six dormitory bedrooms each sleeping four students.<br><br>Each dorm is divided into 'personal spaces', each contains a bed with bedside cabinet, a desk with bookshelf over for studying and a small wardrobe for clothes. The partitions between beds are about head height.<br><br>The three dorms across the top of the hall are <strong>'Lilac' (13)</strong>, <strong>'Peach' (14)</strong> and <strong>'Cream' (15)</strong> for girls. The dorms down the right side are <strong>'Red' (16)</strong>, <strong>'Green' (17)</strong> and <strong>'Blue' (18)</strong> for boys. From left to right or top to bottom the beds are numbered 1 thru 4.<br><br>As well as the dorm windows there are <strong>large windows (19)</strong> all along the wall that fronts the corridor - the end of the dining table, at the end of the kitchen area and the outside wall of the lounge area.<br><br>(I've added the notes to the top of the dorms thread, Combi can copy thplan in when she gets a moment).<br>

				Could be useful... Some of the vocab is stuff I picked up from manga and anime, so its a bit random to say the least. Much of this document was written by a Singaporean friend of mine who has been learning Japanese for years. Other parts were written by an American and a Canadian student of Japanese and a Japanese guy living in America. So if there are errors, they're not mine! A lot of this was gathered from a Studio Ghibli anime discussion board where a good few Japanese speakers hang out, so much of it is pretty relaible, I hope. I have more which is on more complex grammar, pronouns etc but that begins to get a bit scholastic, so I left it out. <br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">JAPANESE<br><br>Greetings</span></strong> <br><br>Greetings are used in Japan very often, almost every time a person meets someone they know. However, proper greetings are only used when the other person is of higher status (teacher/parent) or someone you don't know too well. Between close friends, more casual greetings and slang is usually used. <br><br><strong>Time of Day / Events</strong><br><br>The more common ones: <br><br><strong><em>Ohayou (gozaimasu)</em></strong> : good morning <em>(lit. it is early)</em> usually used only early in the morning, usually before 10am. <br><br><strong><em>Konnichiwa</em></strong> : Good afternoon. General use for daytime. <br><br><strong><em>Konbanwa</em></strong> : Good evening/night. As said. <br><br><strong><em>Oyasumi (nasai) </em></strong>: Good night (lit. have a good rest). Used only when one is going to bed. Almost never used any other time of the day. <br><br><strong><em>Itadakimasu</em></strong> : Used before eating (lit. I partake this offering). <br><br><strong><em>Gochisousama</em></strong> : Used after eating. <br><br><strong><em>Otsukaresama (deshita) </em></strong>: Often used after a task is done, most often heard amongst working colleagues at the end of the day (lit. you are tired). <br><br><strong><em>Moshimoshi</em></strong> : Hello (often used on the telephone)<br><br><strong><em>Hajimemashite</em></strong> : I am pleased to meet you –or- How do you do?<br><br><strong><em>Dozo yoroshiku</em></strong> : My best regards.<br><br><strong>Personal Greetings</strong><br><br>Note that after introductions are done, generally people call one another by their family name, followed by whatever honorific that shows the intimacy of their relationship. "-san" is standard, "-kun" usually for boys, "-chan" usually for girls. <br><br>In general, one's own name is only used when a <em>really</em> close relationship has been established. Also, often it is used only when both parties agree to the use, otherwise when that person does not mind. Honorifics follow as standard. Very rare is the case when one allows the use of their name before a good relationship is formed.<br><br>* * * * * * * * * *<br><br><strong>I love you:</strong><br><br><em>Daisuki</em> basically means love, and it is often used that way, though to be more accurate, to romantically love somebody is <em>aisuru</em>, and to say that you love somebody would be (subject) say...<strong><em>watashi</em></strong> (I), as it works for everybody...<strong><em>wa</em></strong> (person you love) <strong><em>o</em></strong> (sometimes written "wo") <strong><em>aishiteru</em></strong> (or) <strong><em>aishiteimasu</em></strong>. The subject can often be dropped, and if you are talking directly to somebody using <em>daisuke</em> appears more common, though less committed. Which could go...<strong><em>watashi wa kimi ga daisuki desu</em></strong>, and you could throw in a "yo" at the end if you wanted to. If you want to say you like somebody in a romantic sense, you could drop the <em>dai</em> from <em>daisuki</em>. Though the semantics 'to love' vs 'to like' are pretty gray, quite literally <em>daisuki</em> means to like a lot aka love, and <em>suki</em> means to like, though can just as easily be translated as love as well. It's kind of ambiguous. Also, <em>suki</em> is an adjective <em>sukina</em> technically, though the <em>na]</em> is dropped in conjugation. It is interesting though to me that it isn't a verb. Similarly <em>kiraina</em>, used as <em>kirai</em> in a sentence where it isn't directly modifying a noun means to dislike but is often translated as hate, as is the more extreme <em>daikiraina</em>, which is always pretty much translated as hate.<br><br><strong><em>Daisuke-dayo</em></strong> can mean "I like you a lot" or "I love you" also.<br><br>There's like a hundred and one ways to say I love you, like Shakespeare. So I'll just give the common ones (using female speech patterns). <br><br><strong><em>suki</em></strong> : like <br><strong><em>ai/koi</em></strong> : love/affection <br><br>From formal to informal: <strong><em>Anata</em></strong> -&gt; <strong><em>kimi</em></strong> -&gt; <strong><em>omae</em></strong> (crude) <br><br>(<strong><em>Kimi ga</em></strong>) <strong><em>Suki desu</em></strong> / <strong><em>suki na no</em></strong> (informal) <br><strong><em>Ai shite imasu</em></strong> / <strong><em>Ai shiteru</em></strong> (informal) (more for being affectionate than love) <br><br>Or just use the name <br><br>[name] <strong><em>no koto ga suki desu</em></strong> / <strong><em>suki na no</em></strong> (see above) <br><br>Just to name a few.<br><br>* * * * * * * * * *<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Enquiries</span></strong> <br><br>Enquiring about a person's general well being centers around the word <em>'Genki'</em>, meaning "to be healthy". <br><br>Formal: <strong><em>O-genki desu ka?</em></strong> <br><br>Informal: <br><strong><em>Genki?</em></strong> <br><strong><em>Genka na no?</em></strong> (female speech) <br><strong><em>Genki (no) ka?</em></strong> <br><br>When the person is known to have suffered from a mishap (sickness, accident, etc), other phrases are used. <br><br><strong><em>Doushita no (desu ka)?</em></strong> : What's wrong? <br><strong><em>Choushi/Kibun wa dou (desu ka)?</em></strong> : How are you feeling (health/mood-wise)? <br><strong><em>Choushi/Kibun warui (desu ka)?</em></strong> : Are you feeling unwell(health/mood-wise)? <br><br>Responses:<br><strong><em>Daijoubu</em></strong>: OK, alright <br><strong><em>Heiki</em></strong>: Fine <br><br><strong><em>Daijoubu (desu ka)?</em></strong>: Are you okay? <br><strong><em>Daijoubu/heiki (desu)</em></strong>: I'm ok. <br><br>* * * * * * * * * *<br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Farewells</span></strong> <br><br>The term <em>"sayonara"</em> should not be used lightly; generally, it is said that the number of times you say <em>"sayonara"</em> is as often as you say <em>"hajimemashite"</em> (greeting during first-time intro). <br><br><em>Sayonara</em> is most often used when you do not expect to return to the place/person; for example, to your teacher after graduation. Someone you will never meet again.<br><br>There are many exceptions, however. For example, because the school is not where one lives, it is still acceptable to say <em>"sayonara"</em> when returning from school, or when parting ways after a trip (you don’t expect to return to the vacation place anytime soon, after all). <br><br>When you are leaving a place where you intend to return at some point, the following are used: <br><br><strong><em>Ittekimasu</em></strong> : I'm going <em>(lit. I go and come back)</em> <br><strong><em>Itterasshai</em></strong> : Have a safe trip <em>(lit. You go and come back)</em> <br><br>Generally, the above is often used when one leaves the house (for school/work/etc), and whoever is left may reply with the latter. It can also be used in other situations, but <em>never</em> when a student is coming home from school.<br><br>Coming into the house:<br><br><strong><em>Tadaima</em></strong> : I'm back <em>(lit. I return to the place I was)</em><br><strong><em>Okaeri (nasai)</em></strong> : Welcome back/home <em>(lit. Welcome back to the place you belong)</em><br><br>Informal farewells are a-plenty. Below are some examples: <br><br>-<strong><em>Jaa (ne) </em></strong> <br>-<strong><em>Mata (ne)</em></strong> : <em>(lit. See you later)</em> <br>-<strong><em>Mata ashita/raishuu</em></strong> : <em>(lit. see you tomorrow/next week)</em> <br>-<strong><em>Bye-bye</em></strong> (duh) (can also be cutely written <em>'bai-bai'</em> usually used by girls)<br>-<strong><em>Saki in iku/ikimasu</em></strong> (informal/formal): I'll be going first (ahead of you) <br><br>* * * * * * * * * *<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Random Slang</span></strong><br><br>(A lot of this is slang and not very polite~) <br><br><strong><em>Achi itte</em></strong> : Go Away!!! <br><strong><em>Aho</em></strong> : Idiot! (I think this might be a corruption of the American 'asshole')<br><strong><em>Are! </em></strong>: OMG, WTF <br><strong><em>Che</em></strong> : Expressing disgust - darn it, crap, etc. <br><strong><em>Dai</em></strong> : Replaces <strong><em>"desu ka"</em></strong> e.g. - <strong><em>'Nan desu ka'</em></strong> becomes <strong><em>'Nan dai'</em></strong>. Informal. <br><strong><em>Doke</em></strong> : Outta the way! <br><strong><em>Faito</em></strong> : Derives from "fight". = gambatte <br><strong><em>Ge! </em></strong>: Yuck! Gross! <br><strong><em>Mecha</em></strong> : Wicked, super. Context ex. - That was wicked cool! <br><strong><em>Ore wa</em></strong> : Informal for 'I am' <br><strong><em>Oitama! </em></strong>: Got to go now! <br><strong><em>Suge</em></strong> : Slang for 'sugoi' - amazing<br><strong><em>Usse</em></strong> : Slang for 'urusai' - shut up <br><strong><em>Washa</em></strong> : Slang for 'watashi'&nbsp; - 'I', 'Me'<br><br>Note: the words <strong><em>'baka'</em></strong> and <strong><em>'yarou'</em></strong> can both be attached to the endings of names. <br>Ex. - <strong><em>Daisuke-baka</em></strong>, <strong><em>Ryo-yarou</em></strong> <br><br>They can be used seperately, by themselves. <br>Also, they can be combined to form the very rude insult <strong><em>"baka yarou"</em></strong>.<br><br>* * * * * * * * * *<br><br>Also, in Japanese, it is not common to use the pronouns for he and she, <em>karei</em> and <em>kanojo</em>, but rather that person's name. If you just use <em>kare</em> or <em>kanojo</em>, it is assumed that the person you are referring to is your boyfriend or girlfriend. If you want to refer to someone whom you don't know the name of, you can say <em>onnanohito</em> or <em>otokonohito</em>, literally woman person and man person. It isn't common to just use the word <em>onna</em> or <em>otoko</em> to refer to a specific man or woman. <br><br>to add to the pronouns list, we have some first person pronouns (there are a ton more of them): <br><br><strong><em>Watashi</em></strong>, for everybody <br><strong><em>Atashi</em></strong>, for girls <em>only</em> <br><strong><em>Boku</em></strong>, usually for guys <br><strong><em>Ore</em></strong>, crude usually for guys<br>&nbsp; &nbsp; &nbsp; add <em>tachi</em> to that to get the first person plurals <br><br>such as <em>watashitachi</em> or <em>bokutachi</em> for example.<br><br>More on pronouns. It isn't uncommon for girls to use <strong><em>boku</em></strong> if they are tomboys, and while it is less common still, <strong><em>atashi</em></strong> is sometimes used by gay guys.<br><strong><em>ne</em></strong> is a particle added to the end of a sentence that changes the connotation a little bit. It's kind of like saying something, and then saying "right?" or something "huh" so it kind of makes a statement and asks for a confirmation of that statement.<br>That sounds about right. I always read <em>ne</em> as "isn't it?" <br><br>ie. <em>Akuri-Sensei wa kowai desu ne</em>. <br><br>"Akuri-Sensei is scary, isn't he?" <br><br>It sounds more subjective than just <em>Akuri-Sensei wa kowai desu</em>.<br><br><em>Baka</em> translates as stupid. There's an actual term in Japanese, <em>"baka-baka"</em> to denote an object/situation that is silly.<br><br>* * * * * * * * * *<br><br><strong><span class="bbc_u">Sounds of Speech</span></strong><br><br>Several Japanese syllables, particular of the 'u' family, has the 'u' part silent usually. <br><br>For example, the word "suki" is often said as "ski", simply because when spoken quickly, the sound isn't heard anymore, <br><br>This point is more towards lingual fluency.

				When talking about your own father (A member of your "in-group"), you refer to him as "chichi"; same with mother and "haha". "Oto-san" and "oko-san are used when talking about somebody else's father/mother (a member of your "out-group") or addressing your parents.

				Well, the thing is, even if it's a small town, unless it's ridiculously tiny, it will still have a reasonable number of different shops in it. The fact that it isn't a big city will mean that there will be more family-owned stores and shops and little restaurants, rather than huge malls or chains like you would find in Tokyo.<br><br>Or at least, that's how I'd been thinking - I'd really just been looking at the map, and thinking of some of those small black squares as various shops, diners, restaurants, etc.

				Heh, I based it roughly off the town my friend lives in in Canada (dunno why there, I just decided to), it has about 75 streets in it, admittedly, a lot more buildings, but I didn't want to make it too crowded.

				Personally, I think it's fine - if we go with the current image of the town, and imagine the streets that are there as the "larger" streets, just let everyone use their imaginations and extrapolate on the smaller details, like smaller streets, smaller shops, and other little hidden gems that all towns and cities have. :]

				As Caeli said, how about smallish, but with all the shops we need? Even a &nbsp;small, quiet country town should have a train station., restaurant of some sort, snack bar, supermarket, hot spring etc. etc. If it's too tiny, a tram service and train station would seem slightly out of place. I think the current map is fine, with the addition of a few shops and perhaps a few more houses. 200m x 200m seems a bit on the titchy side, but 300m x 300m should be big enough. We can imagine the scale as we see fit though, so as long as everything's there, the map you've so professionally drawn will do nicely.

				Oooh... that's pretty awesome! :O<br>*smiles* That's really neat.<br><br>But definitely, I think the town is lacking in some extra shops, restaurants, and etc. that would give it a "realistic" feeling. Right now it's fine, of course, since we haven't really spent much time there, but I think it'd be nice to have different places to choose from for the occasional trip to town for lunch or dinner, as well as a bookshop or cafe where the students can hang out on an idle day.<br><br>But those were all suggestions, really. x3 You definitely don't need to utilize any of them if you really don't want to go through the trouble.

				In reply to people who write "To the next thread" at the bottom of your posts, its possible to make this a hyperlink to the actual post you want the scene to link to. You just have to write your new post, then click on its blue title which gives you the actual post number in your address bar. Copy paste this into the post in the thread you came from and wrap it in [url ] [ /url] tags and hey preso.<br><br>You can then do the same for the thread you arrive at so the two forma two-way contiguous link.

				A few things.<br><br>If this is school is 'traditional', then the Track and Field Club will also be having a lot of Gymnastics.&nbsp; Also, Kendo is still considered a 'Man's' sport, but Kyudo (Archery) isn't, despite the fact that it takes the same amount of skill, so the school is unlikely to have the swords, but more than likely the bows.<br><br>Boxing or Karate is also unlikely, although Judo or Jujutsu might be.<br><br>As for Sammy, his 'martial arts' isn't so much for competition but purely for self-defense.&nbsp; He knows Jujutsu, some Kung-Fu, Karate, a bit of Penjat Silat, all of which have been blended and adapted for streetfights or other situations outside of an arena.&nbsp; Even his Kendo experience, he wasn't anywhere near the Captain of the former team, because he'd go for disabling or killing strikes which weren't standard to the sport.&nbsp; His Master actually made him leave the team because he'd be picking 'bad habits' from it.&nbsp; So he avoids the physical clubs.<br><br>Although deep down, he wants to show off what he can do...&nbsp; Impress the ladies.&nbsp; Hopefully.

				I think a small tram system to get from school to town is essential, so a journey can be done very fast.

				Well, okay...<br><br>First of all, to address the gakuran/blazer issue.<br><br>Seriously?<br><br>If you boys / male students had wanted the gakuran uniform instead of the one with the blazer, why didn't you speak up earlier? &gt;.&gt;; The blazer / tartan skirt combination with the girls is usually matched with the male uniform, in the blazer / trousers combination, because the school is usually trying to adopt a more "western" look, as opposed to the sailor <em>fuku</em> / gakuran pair, which actually comes from military styles.<br><br>I don't believe that they're ever paired halfway - as in, girls wear blazers and skirts, while boys keep the old-style military uniform.<br><br>But... *sigh* If everyone <em>really</em> for the male uniform to be the gakuran instead of the blazer/trousers combo, why not?

				I'm sure the school could offer a western blazer <em>and</em> a military garukan option for boys, let the players choose.<br><br>It's my fault Caeli: I canvassed for the garukan way back on page 1 or 2 but kind of got overridden (not deliberately mind).<br><br>I've seen a boy-garukan / girl-blazer high-school set up but that is in manga (Kare Kano to be exact) *shrugs*.<br><br>I think a bus service is essential. The students may never use it but it would most likely exist since buses are more flexible than trams and could run out on the by-roads to the outlying villages. A tram system is really an urban transport solution with frequent services, low speeds and high passenger density. A bus network serves a community in a different way with perhaps less intense/frequent services over longer distances and reaching out to the smaller communities.<br><br>There's room for both, I say.<br><br>Could we have a small theatre/cinema in town please?<br><br>Also I don't feel its necessary to show <em>everything</em> on a town map, we can surely just say "we went to the theatre"; knowing where its located isn't that critical. If time is being invested in plans and maps I think earlier confusion in school indicates we need a detailed school plan more than a town plan.

				I fine with the blazer, I thought it was a season thing. The longer coat for the winter, the shorter coat for the summer. I'm not really familiar with all the traditions in Japan. I was not even aware that my character having a car was upsetting everyone, to which I apologize but I do not want to go back and redo what posts I have in the game, so far.

				Aiden I think one of the issues with the car is that you are using it NOW to remove two characters from the group.

				To be honest I have been on the point of leaving the game over it for a day or so now. A car is just about as wrong as you can get in a Japanese high school story, they belong in American high school stories, hence my wish that it isn't used for this trip.<br><br>I do not wish to suggest how you play Caeli but I was really surprised that a Student Council President would go off with one new student instead of being the figurehead of the group (for this first important meeting/trip) which is where her in-character duties lie.

				You want the car gone...I would rather keep it...but I just have no interest in delaying the game any more. So It will be gone soon, and the issue can just end.

If you keep it for this scene you may as well keep it the entire game.<br><br>I'd like to close by saying that in this context of a private school with well-heeled students, rich parents and the Japanese system of education (which I know well and you do not seem to) a student would NOT be allowed to break the law in so flagrant a way. It brings the school into disrepute and dishonour and Jin's father would not be so irresponsible as to allow his lawbreaking son to drive a car to school.<br><br>And please don't suggest Jin would just take it w/o his parent's permission. You need to understand social and family culture in Japan to know he would not do that. Some deprived inner city school kid maybe, but not a private school.<br><br>End of.<br>

				When you posted the link originally Combi saying you couldn't put up the flash pictures those were the exact two I thought most suitable.

				Katra - it might be a better idea to send the students out to meet Mana and let her take them into town while we go do whatever t is you're doing, having everyone stand round waiting for 1 or 2 players to do out a small scene and return will delay things.

				Hiya! Not a great deal has happened. The boys arrived, the girls finished their last class before lunch, the boys arrival was announced and the whole school has been given the afternoon off to 'integrate'.<br><br>There was a general gathering of most characters in the dorm and a lot of playful banter, the boys being very fruity and suggestive, the girls being mostly shy/playful in return/downright afraid/stern and disapproving depending on who you watched.<br><br>Chris Brady's boy, Sasame, went into town alone and we will no doubt bump into him when the rest of us go there.<br><br>Caeli's and Katra's characters, Manami and Katrania, agreed the girls and boys should all go into town together to have lunch and get to know each other... Caeli's and Aiden's characters (Jin) are outside the front door waiting in the snow (I think), Combicon's girl with HairyHeretic's and Ramster's boys (Minori, Minoru and Roberto) are in the shoe locker area at the main entrance while Katra and my girl Rikako went to the headmistress' office to meet Dorian's character, Alfredus.<br><br>Akiko's and Goalt's girls (Akiko and Mariko) are staying in the dorm, as is my shy girl, Arisu.<br><br>Everyone else is posting in the main thread. If you wanted Kai, your guy can bump into Rikako, Katra and Alfredus outside the headmistress' office (I guess we assume your boy went to the dorm and dumped his gear) or he can join up with Minoru, Roberto and Minori by the shoe lockers (ditto - he dumped his bags).<br><br>The general concensus is to get us all into the 'town' thread asap and into a restaurant where we'll all have lunch.<br><br>If I got anything wrong, someone please correct me.

If something doesn't feel right, the answer isn't to walk away but to roleplay in a way you think will steer the game towards a directon/format you're comfortable with.

				I'm not going to include a love hotel, as yes, the game was intended to have sex in it, as they are still quite young. Although some statistics say that Japanese women have sex before they are 17, they have been in an all girls school for some of their lives, so through puberty they would have had less chance to see guys. Sure, they will have experimented on their own, but certain fetishes will still need to be found out, and there are few people (or so I've seen) that like to jump into just trying out new fetishes; I'm sure they'd have all the normal feelings wondering if it's normal etc etc.

				Haibane, just a minor correction. :] The term you used for "foreigner" was incorrectly spelled. Since it happened a couple of times, I didn't think it was accidental, but in case it was, ignore the rest of this. ^^;<br><br>The term is actually 外人 (がいじん), romanized [<em>gaijin</em>], which comes from the kanji "outside/foreign" and "person".

				Don't sweat it too much. It doesn't much matter if the boys hate him, and so far you've only acted weird in front ofone girl ;) You could try being nice to her, she's a forgiving kid. Arisu seemed to be impressed too ;)<br><br>I think the nationality is irrelevant, the way he acted in front of Rika would have got him despised by anyone who saw that exchange, whether he'd been Japanese, a rebel with his own agenda or a Martian ;)<br><br>I'd be interested to know if Mana saw that little scene though, and if she did, what she thought.<br><br>I think you should just play him how you want to play him, and enjoy yourself, I guess there ARE Japanese boys around who despise the system, just like there are everywhere else. He could well know how things are and just be fighting it for his own reasons.<br><br>So my advice is keep him Japanese but play him how you like.

				You could, if you really wanted, surf about a few Wiki pages and try to glean a few Japanese things. Or just ask here, Caeli knows a lot of stuff, Akiko too, I know some, but mostly from watching anime (not all anime is useful but the reality-based ones can be) and just reading around that subject.

				Ye gods it's a fucking epidemic.I feel for you Katra, I lost my younger brother to a car accident about a week ago.and this is my first foray back on Elliquiy after doing a minor Stephen Fry. Disappeared to Belgium foir a few days to clear my head but luckily didn't at any point consider adding myself to the death toll. But the first thing I've discovered now I've had a peek on here again is that this place is very therapeutic and you people are all very nice and supportive.
