To reserve a 2nd character you must have a pass for the previous month's AC with your first character. For a 3rd character, you must have a pass for the previous two months' AC for both of your characters. In addition, we do ask that the AC for the current month be met and filled into your AC comment by the time of your reserve. It must be full AC.

I LOVE MAKI HI

I have no idea how she could have friends with a crossdressing detective-wannabe girl though... Naoto's too srs bsns for ~show biz~.

Maybe not nuclear family (I've established Naoto as an only child in her AU) but cousins perhaps?

I LOVE NAOTO funny how that works out

cousins would be great!!! maki grew up really isolated from most people around her age so having family close to her in terms of age would help ground her a bit!! i also skimmed your app and though maki probs wouldn't know too much about it she'd super relate to naoto's desire to want to reinvent herself and go somewhere where no one knew her.

[personal profile] truedetective 2018-01-11 06:00 am (UTC)(link)
Yeah!

So I never really took the time to think about Naoto's family beyond Grandpa Shirogane > Her Mom & Dad > Her as the only child. Maybe Maki could be her family on her mom's side?

In that case she'd probably have known Naoto's true gender (since she only started presenting as male outwardly some time ago), even if they haven't been super close?

that works with me! i don't have too many details worked out about maki's fam so i'm basically 100% open to anything that would work best for you!

maki was probably way too wrapped up in her own show biz drama to properly connect with naoto or pry too much into her life but now that they're probably in school together she would likely make some kind of attempt to well, actually act like family.

Sure! Unless you wanted to also make her a Shirogane which I'd be fine with, haha.

Is she going to be a sophomore or a junior? If Naoto's a little older than her, she might have not paid much attention to her cousin's frivolous show-biz stuff, either.

But she's actually trying to connect with people now and not just throw up ridiculous emotional walls oops......

mother's side works for me i think! it offers a little bit more flexibility and i think would just also make it more likely that maki knows like nothing about what naoto's got goin on!!

maki is a junior! and i guess this whole reserved and emotionally repressed thing is genetic cause wowee maki is just same hat irt that

Okay! That works for me! Has she lived in Recolle the city this whole time or is she just moving in? If the former... maybe Naoto was getting so absorbed in the Retrospec mystery they didn't talk much, or else she didn't want to interact with someone who knew her secret that much, family or not.

Look she's TRYING okay

they can be reserved and emotionally stunted cousins together

i'm still sort of figuring it out myself! but if in the case i decide to go with she's lived in recolle her whole life it honestly wouldn't be super weird for them to be have been like.. totally distant this whole time since i think maki was super absorbed in her own melodrama.

i'm also half tempted to have her recently have moved to recolle but i'll let you know!

Naoto, at least, only moved to the city a few months before the game began (say, beginning of the school year)? So if Maki was already here, we could just handwave that Maki was too absorbed with her drama and Naoto too standoffish and trying to avoid close contact which was why tehy didn't talk much?

[personal profile] darin 2018-01-13 04:59 am (UTC)(link)
that works for me! from what it looks like i've basically settled on maki growing up in recolle and also being sibs with kuro over here! considering what their family situation is like i think it would make sense that they sort of didn't keep in touch with their extended family as much?

also feel free to add me on plurk if you'd like to discuss anything else! my handle is [plurk.com profile] valroyeaux
