princess maker - avante en garde

[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. ]

ROUND 1 MORAL DILEMMA

[idolpro]

You find yourself in a moral dilemma. . . your daughter cursed out her teacher when they were scolding her, and stormed out. This behavior is not acceptable and her teacher seems to be incredibly offended by her insults and language. Your daughter feels it was only proper, being that her teacher was "getting on her case".

What do you do?

[idolpro]

You find yourself in a moral dilemma. . . your daughter confides to you she accidentally brought a toy of her classmate's home from school. She does think the right thing would be to give it back to her classmate, but her classmate doesn't even seem to care about the toy anyway, and your daughter has really grown attached to it. Unfortunately, it is not a toy that can be bought in stores anymore, as they are all handmade and the craftsman passed away a few years ago.

[idolpro]

You find yourself in a moral dilemma. . . your daughter confides in you there is a bully in her class who is giving a hard time to a few of her classmates. She is unaffiliated with her bullied classmates, however it seems the teacher is not taking any action. She is thinking about taking on the bully herself, but the bully is also twice her size and much, much stronger than she is.

FREE WEEK 1

[idolpro]

Three weeks have passed and it's the end of the month; this week, there's a special festival:the Spring festival. It's not as big as the Winter or Summer festivals, but it's still a holiday -- naturally, as you're a noble, you would of course have this week off. Your daughter, too, is on holiday, as per the norm, though she shouldn't dilly-dally in her studies this year.

Or perhaps, you could do something else with her? Something fun, maybe? It's basically a vacation, after all.

-

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.

[knightceties]

[hmm yes let us see what this festival is all about, perhaps eat some festival food and play some festival games.]

[calmthefoxdown]

[ Okay but Gold is definitely going to try to teach her volleyball. ]

The bully that had bothered your daughter indirectly is now a pariah. More than that, your daughter seems to be affiliating herself with some unsavory folk - people who are pretty agreeable to listening to her, but people who would like to spend her money too. Leeches, in other words - not only that, but there's also talk about how your daughter is responsible for the bullying happening at school, now.

What do you do?

FREE WEEK 2

[idolpro]

You've been invited to a week long excursion by your neighbors; while those aren't particularly rare, this one promises to be a treat - after all, they're here.

Your daughter's friends are going - of course. Their parents are hosting it, after all. Your daughter would like to go to the party too - she wants to see them.

You know. The Plague Bearers. Maybe if she's lucky she'll get to see a Plague, too.

She might not be allowed to own one yet, but she can see one, right?

If you go to the excursion, it promises to be a fantastic one: it's basically just a trip through the local desert, though the transportation itself promises to have nothing like the desert heat - after all, that's why the Plague Bearers are here. It's basically just a week long party.

Regardless of whether you take her or not, she has the week off. What will you do?

[knightceties]

[Ace is curious about Plague Bearers, so he will be playing the role of chaperone for his dear, sweet daughter.]

ROUND 3 MORAL DILEMMA

[idolpro]

Princess Gold discovers this: there is a new transfer in a rival school, the child of another noble. She dominates the playing field in all sports; her posse matches Princess Gold's too, and popularity in this town is almost evenly split between these two girls - except she's gaining, and Princess Gold's popularity is fading. The girl's nickname is the Silver Duchess . . . largely because her name is Silver and she's the daughter of a duchess.

That's all well and good, but there's more: it seems that there's some shady business happening with the Silver Duchess' posse, something . . . strange . . . something about Plague Bearers . . . ?



Wait, this doesn't have to anything to do with the drugs! But Princess Gold is feeling threatened by the new kid in town. What will you do?

FREE WEEK 3

[idolpro]

Regardless of what you choose to do in the above scenarios, the Summer Festival is nearly upon us! You'll have to do some preparations! What do you plan to do this week? Get a dress for Princess Gold? Have her do some last minute studying? Enjoy your last week together?

You have a feeling that this week will be the last week you ever see Princess Gold again. After all, after this - after this, you'll have to go back to your life as idols.

For your last week together with her, what will you do . . . ?

[knightceties]

[He'll invite Princess Gold out for a walk, so he can answer any lingering questions she has and/or impart some words of wisdom. Otherwise...whatever.]
