princess maker - Taisho Roman Revolution

[idolpro]

[ When you insert the key and open the door, you'll find the room inside looks like the living room of a mansion. There are several doors, but one in particular stands out to you: it is ornately decorated, the very door's wood itself carved beautifully with gold etched in to make luxurious patterns depicting what looks like the sky and the wind blowing through the grasslands. Though the door is closed, you can see through it—as if it's somewhat transparent.

The room is painted baby blue and a gold-plated cradle sits in the room. Inside, a baby cries - high pitched and noisy, though immediately a nurse comes in to rock the child back to sleep. ]

-

[ Slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby sits up, trying to climb out of her cradle; a little toddler dressed prettily with expensive clothes beams pleasantly; a tantrum, thrown by the little girl who's distressed; the little girl holding a puppy, pleased as punch; then the wall becomes opaque. ]

[ In the middle of the open doorway, a young girl the age of 10 sits on a chair, smiling at you. a golden retriever is curled up beside her.

This is your little girl. you couldn't help spoiling her, honestly - after all, she's a noble too, and she should like to become a princess as well. She deserves it! But you also know, with how your history's gone, she's going to have to work to get to the top. Still, you have faith in her - she's your girl, after all. ]

DECISION

[idolpro]

What classes do you choose to have your daughter take? Will you give her free time?

You may choose from Culture class, Martial Arts class, and Math & Science class. If you choose to give her free time, please note what that free time will be dedicated to.

You have 54 classes to schedule for. If you'd like, you may simply note "evenly divided" for 18 classes in each category, or note 50% X class and 50% Y class, etc.

If you note "evenly divided between all classes and free time", that will be taken as 16 classes each/6 sessions of free time.

Your daughter goes to Culture class. Here, she learns manners, refinement, and elegance. Everything goes smoothly.

Your daughter goes to Math & Science class. Here, she learns arithmetic, algebra, physics, and chemistry. Everything goes smoothly.

Your daughter goes to Martial Arts. Here, she learns self-defense, meditation, and endurance. Everything goes smoothly.

Your daughter gains +30 charm!!

Your daughter gains +66 intelligence!

You train your daughter to be an assassin, ride horses, do more art, and in general spend time with her!

She also spends time with the prince. She guesses.

She hates it.

Re: DISCUSSION

[guess who made it here eventually despite still having a fever]

...So we're raising a child?

[unsure]

Re: DISCUSSION

[bluerosestyle]

[m aki]

Yeah, she's our daughter. The others have been raising her until now, but...

[he also sounds a little unsure]

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollplayinghouse]

Mm. Well, what should we do from here?

Re: DISCUSSION

[bluerosestyle]

I'm not sure. She's doing very well, but I'm worried that she might be unhappy.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollplayinghouse]

Why?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sonof]

How are you feeling? Marin?

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollplayinghouse]

Well enough.

[which is to say, not any better, but she's SO BORED]

Re: DISCUSSION

[sonof]

Then, I'm glad to have you here. Better that she has a capable mother around.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollplayinghouse]

...When I played House at my orphanage, I apparently played as the dad.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sonof]

[ that's cute ]

Then you have experience.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bluerosestyle]

[looking at the stats]

But she's very intelligent! She's even good at haggling... Are these numbers right?

Re: DISCUSSION

[sonof]

She did do poorly in her classes for a time. But she has the potential to learn, unquestionably.

Re: DISCUSSION

[syncintohell]

Artistic sense is surely a measure of intellect. The definition of intelligence used is what is substandard.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bluerosestyle]

Maybe we should help her develop that by emphasizing her math and science lessons this time. But I'd like to let her know it's not because she's doing badly, but because she's doing well and we want to help her.

Re: DISCUSSION

[artisticliberty]

Since she has been doing so well in her culture classes and learning from her outings with us, should we prioritize math and science for the time being? She's doing well, but she is still behind.

Re: DISCUSSION

[sonof]

Just what use is further maths, I wonder.

[ waves a hand ]

This isn't my area of expertise. I'll let the rest of you divvy up classes.

Re: DISCUSSION

[bluerosestyle]

Um, since she will be powerful in the future, it's important that she's well-balanced in her knowledge... for the sake of her future subjects.

How about something like 22 math and science classes, 15 martial arts classes, 10 culture classes and 7 breaks? She's been working very hard.

Re: DISCUSSION

[rollplayinghouse]

That seems reasonable... I could spend some time with her on the breaks.

Re: DISCUSSION

[syncintohell]

Is there any particular reason she requires the martial arts classes? A princess is hardly going to be fighting her own battles, and she is diligent enough.
