princess maker - ☆ZRAEL

[idolpro]

[ When you insert the key and open the door, you'll find inside the room looks small, cramped, just one living space without any doors—you can hear noises of the bustling life outside, as well as other people beyond the thin walls. the space bends on the walls, and a basket sits on the table in the center of this studio room with a blanket folded into it.

Inside, a baby stirs restlessly - you hope she goes back to sleep soon, and you play your flute in hopes of lulling her back to sleep. Unfortunately, a sharp knock sounds from the ceiling - the tenants upstairs don't like what you're doing. You take a more drastic measure, singing softly to your baby as you rock the basket back and forth and hope the tenants don't complain again. ]

-

[ Slowly, the scene changes, fading in and out with various silent scenes—the baby cries, and in turn, the upstairs tenants knock at your ceiling again; she finds her way to your flute, tooting happily though no noise comes out; a little toddler, she becomes attached to a stray cat; you decline her request, and she storms out to run away for a little while as you regret; she returns, covered in cat hair and ignores everything you say; then the wall becomes opaque. ]

[ In the corner of the room, a young girl the age of 10 crouches, looking away from you. she holds a cat in her arms, petting the creature constantly.

You wish you could have done better for your baby girl. But, this is what you love to do and maybe you'll get a gig that pays well enough that you two can move out of this shithole - hopefully. You tried your best to rear her, but with how infrequent you're in the house, working odd jobs in the day and performing at the pub at night, you're not sure anymore. You know she is capable of anything if she puts her mind to it - even becoming a princess - but you also know it's not easy to become a princess, and she's horribly equipped for any of that. Then again, if anything your little tyke is tough, and if anyone could be a rags-to-riches princess, it would be her. Thankfully, you've emergency savings - for her schooling, of course. You have a lot of regrets, but maybe it's not too late. ]

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

ROUND 1 MORAL DILEMMA

[idolpro]

1

[idolpro]

You find yourself in a moral dilemma. . . your daughter was caught cheating in her classes today, and her teachers have notified you. However, your daughter doesn't particularly think badly of it—it didn't hurt anyone, after all, and it isn't as if it's a big deal anyway.

What do you do?

2

[idolpro]

You find yourself in a moral dilemma. . . your daughter has learned that getting caught is wrong, so she shouldn't - and she has also learned that she can make other people do things for her. She's not a particularly charming person - but with all those martial arts classes she's been learning, she has learned to charm people with . . . let's say . . . different ways.

Charming people with duress.

Yes.

The problem however is that she isn't the strongest bully on the playground, and she punched a boy's eye out while also getting clocked herself, and now the parents demand recompense.

What will you do?

[idolpro]

With Aradia in prison, your daughter faces a serious dilemma in school - that is to say, she's ostracized and picked on, and your apartment has rocks and eggs thrown at it frequently. Not only that, but the teachers don't even want to teach your daughter anymore.

Well . . .

This is . . .

A pickle . . .

What do you do?

*As a note, Aradia may continue to participate in the discussion and turn in for decisions, however any actions that are not general ☆ZRAEL decisions means that she will have had to break out of jail first to do them, which she can do, but there will be consequences for that.

FREE WEEK 1

[idolpro]

Three weeks have passed and it's the end of the month -- this week you've booked a vacation. Or rather, this week, you've run out of money and you can't afford to send your child to school, so you're catching up on funds now. Next week, whether you make up the money or not, you'll get government aid -- thankfully. In the meantime, your daughter will have to make work up on her own, and keep up with her own studies.

Or perhaps, you could do something else with her? Something fun, maybe? It's basically a vacation, after all. Well -- not a vacation for you, but your vocation means you could do some travelling and get some business drummed up.

This time, you've decided to go to the Spring Festival fair. Your daughter will be with you the whole time, so what do you plan to do? You have some money, but. . . well. . .

Well, anyway, let's do something fun!

. . . *or . . .


Or your daughter and you could be in jail.

You could do that too.

-

Basically: it's a mini-mingle. You can go to the fair and have some fun or you can do something else! You can submit in a comment OR you can thread, either way is fine. You may affect your daughter's stats here, but not her temperament or moral compass. You have until the end of the game to finish Free Weeks, which is when they'll be tallied up to the total of your princess's stat totals. This is entirely optional, and serves as a method for people who can't play during regular gamerunner hours to be able to do something fun while contributing to the game, although everyone is welcome.

You have joined the military. You must demonstrate your worth in order to be chosen for whatever division. If you are capable of something special, then you can join the King's guard. If you are not, however, you will simply be sent to border patrol where you'll watch for Plagues all day.

What will you do?

FREE WEEK 2

[idolpro]

You join the military.

Because you've been deemed as . . . mostly harmless, so long as your powers are not working, you can go back and get your things from home. What will you collect? How will you say goodbye to this town?

[idolpro]

You and your daughter are on border patrol. There's nothing but desert as far as the eye can see - New Senteca is the oasis in this barren land, all because of the Great Liberator.

Not G☆d. Just so you know. They don't believe in that kind of stuff, nor do they believe in the shit your daughter is spouting, soooo liiiiiike. . .

She's small, and she has difficulty doing the manual labor that she has to go through - basically, she does grunt work, moving supplies from one place to another in the desert heat. She has to carry the equipment and do the heavy labor, and while she does have some level of diligence she's still, you know, 10.

At this rate, she's going to run her body to the ground. Plus, she doesn't have any friends! No one wants to chat about death with her :(

What do you do . . . ?

Your daughter is dead.

Your wounds do not heal, though if you have any fatal wounds then those are healed barely enough for you to survive long enough to go to endgame.
