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. ]

Shouldn't we try to develop some of her skills, though?

[calmthefoxdown]

Which ones specifically?

[knightceties]

I dunno. What's this prince like, anyway? Does he like cute girls or smart girls or strong girls...

If she's gonna become Princess Gold, she's gonna have to be his type.

[calmthefoxdown]

I think the point is we don't know what's his type.

[knightceties]

Well... Her best two traits are Charm and Intelligence, so I guess we should focus on those? Though she should really know how to fight, too.

[team jock ain't gonna raise some NERD]

[calmthefoxdown]

So if it's 54 points, divided in three categories... what's the order of priority? We could do something like 17-18-19, for example.

[knightceties]

She should get some time off too, right?

And twelve weeks isn't long, we can't be too balanced if we're trying to really develop something...

[calmthefoxdown]

7-18-29?

Or 10-18-26?

[knightceties]

I like the second one more. But how much free time should we give her?

[calmthefoxdown]

Maybe for every 6 classes total, use the 7th for free time, so... 7 or so? That'd be more time in classes than rest.

[knightceties]

So that's... 7-8-16-23?

[calmthefoxdown]

That math sounds right.

[knightceties]

So in that order, we'd go... Free time, Martial Arts, Math & Science, and Culture?

No, let's swap the first two.

Free time, Math & Science, Martial Arts, and Culture the most.

[calmthefoxdown]

That sounds fine by me.

[knightceties]

What should we have her do in her free time?

[calmthefoxdown]

That's not up to her?

[knightceties]

Sounds like have to pick something, yeah. Though I guess it's up to her if she actually does it.

[calmthefoxdown]

If it's supposed to be a break from culture, math, science, and martial arts classes... something different from all of those?

[knightceties]

What would that be...

Playing with her puppy?

[calmthefoxdown]

Maybe learning how to teach her dog tricks? Having to teach someone else teaches you a lot.

[knightceties]

Oh, good idea! We could offer to buy her gifts every time she teaches the dog something new.

[calmthefoxdown]

Sure, that sounds like a plan.
