Eyy, out of your characters, Jasmine is closest to my birthday! Added yours and mine. I added Akakios and Keres since they'll probably know each other's birthdays even if no-one else does. Just need Ember34 & 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 now. By the look of things, we might want to create a couple of festivals for the latter few months just to fill them out a little. Hmm. Yes, that is how I played FE, can confirm. |

And out of yours, Fion is closest to mine ^^ Okay, makes sense. By the way, I looked up everyone's Zodiac Signs, just for fun. I usually don't really pay attention to something like that but it was pretty funny to see how inaccurate some of them are and also how fitting one of them is for my characters xD At least going by the brief description on TV Tropes. "Haha, wow. This is waaay off. Huh, that one kind works but I dunno... Holy shit, this one fits a little too well!" Anyway, turns out we have three Capricorns. All of them in the Blue Lions. And Konstantin ruins everything by being an Aquarius xD Oh wow, you're right. Even if we make the Saints and Founding Days more interesting we still need some festivals. And we also need to come up with more missions too. While all three classes will kinda work together on some missions there'll also be plenty of months where every group has their own task. We know what the Black Eagles will be doing during the Harpstring Moon but what about the other two Houses? They'll need missions too, even if it's something simple like killing bandits. It shouldn't distract us from the main mission too much after all.
Haha, poor Flayn. Seems like everyone's got more important stuff to do than looking for her.

Huh, that is interesting! I've never put much stock in zodiacs or astrology in general but it's certainly fun to look at.
I just picked dates that 'felt right' for my characters xD
A few other random (and uninspired) festival ideas...
- Some sort of Halloween / Samhain type festival. Except... make it medieval? Lots of occult stuff, ghosts and ghouls.
- Christmas... but, again, make it medieval. A Winter fete, perhaps?
I could've sworn I had a book with a bunch of fantasy festival ideas in it but I appear to have misplaced it so this is the best you're gonna get ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
You raise a good point in regards to the other houses needing separate missions. This month will be fine but we'll need to start branching out in Harpstring.
Since the Black Eagles have the main story mission for that month, either BL or GD could get bandits (or both?).

Yeah, it's just a fun little thing to do. I, as any self-respecting Sagittarius would, don't put much stock in it either but ever since I've played Persona 2 I'm always a little curious about characters' zodiac signs xD We still have time to think of something ^^ But I like the Halloween/Samhain thing. It could make for a fun event. Yeah, maybe both can take down bandits. One group gets a more straight-forward task while the other group could defend something or villagers. And turn against said villagers because everyone hates stupid Green Units who can't take a hit and run towards enemies instead of staying where they are.𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 Here, try this thing if you don't have any ideas. Two things to keep in mind when transferring them into Fódlan-dates: - the year begins in April (Great Tree Moon) - all months have 30 days |

Wait, I thought Searc and Neason were twins?As for more festivals, maybe we can make Garreg Mach Establishment Day more interesting? The Great Ball would be held in the evening and students can visit the Goddess Tower so maybe we can come up with something for the rest of the day. There could be a feast before that and maybe some performers could entertain everyone. It's an important day after all. And if we really can't come up with anything else the students can do that Secret Santa thing, only under a different name of course xD
No specific month for that but maybe they can hold some special tournaments? Some kind of fun competition that encourages students to team up with people from other houses.

"Samhain was a liminal or threshold festival, when the boundary between this world and the Otherworld thinned, meaning the Aos Sí (the 'spirits' or 'fairies') could more easily come into our world. At Samhain, they were appeased with offerings of food and drink, to ensure the people and their livestock survived the winter. The souls of dead kin were also thought to revisit their homes seeking hospitality, and a place was set at the table for them during a Samhain meal."
Been reading the wiki page for Samhain and am kinda digging the idea of a festival dedicated to the dead. By the time this one swings around, the students will have seen enough that this could hold some weight.
I'm all for souping up Garreg Mach Establishment Day.
A big tournament with prizes and a bunch of different matches for different weapons does sound like a lot of fun. A festival some of the less frivolous students can get behind too!

Sounds great! I love it! So that's two votes for Samhain, unless yours counts twice since you're the boss. But now I wonder how some of the students would feel about this festival. Especially those who really believe in this kind of stuff. Oh well, that makes it even more interesting!
Yup ^^ I think most if not all of my characters would enjoy this kind of tournament.

They are but twins can get born on separate days, like say one twin gets born 11:58 pm and the other is 12:01 am, they are still twins but technically born on separate days, idk if I will actually do it that's why the birthdays are wips lol

No problem, Ember ^^
I think I've got the perfect punishment for the occult-gang if they ever get caught: Saghert and Cream for a week. And as if that isn't bad enough it's gonna be made by Neason and Vincent, with some super unhelpful advice from Konstantin. So it's probably burnt, almost hard enough to break your teeth and may or may not explode. Also it's both spicy as hell and waaay too sweet. And wait, did they seriously make gravy instead of Noa fruit cream? No, but what I was actually going to ask: how about there will be an extra focus on terrain, weather and other stuff during the Verdant Rain Moon? There'll be ceaseless rains accompanied by fierce winds and mighty roars of thunder during that month. It'll prepare the kids for less than ideal battle conditions. They probably won't do that every day though. On some days they would use the bad weather for training and on other days there'll be more focus on in-doors stuff, like written assignments. And we'll need to know when the first 'outsiders' will disappear because that'll be deemed more important. At least I hope so.
Ugh. Shouldn't have brought that up. Now I wish for an actual storm with tons of rain. This week was just way too hot.

Somehow, Saghert and Cream became the dreaded dish, heh.
Not a fan of sweet things?  Yeah, sounds fun to make use of the torrential rain! Super hot or super snowy months can have their own challenges as well, I'm sure. I would think... maybe the 24/25th? Have all the disappearances occur during the last week of the month whilst the students scramble to get everyone back before the lantern festival xD (also, to make sure they don't get used in some crazy ritual but, you know, priorities) Initially, I was planning on a weeks space of time for the racists to be found and defeated but I kinda like the idea of them just having 3-4 days - make it a thriller where everyone runs about like headless chickens. Which do you guys prefer? A week of practical (?) mystery solving and intrigue or a few haywire days with high stakes? Ah! I love rain in general but now especially with all the heat. Trying to sleep was a nightmare. Thankfully, good old rainy Britain has indeed started raining again so I'm pretty happyyy. |

It's always been the dreaded dish. At least ever since you decided to change the weekly special to the daily special. All I did was make the prospect of eating the same thing all week even worse  Nah, I love sweets. I just like savory food even more, is all ^^ Yeah, you're right! Haha, now I feel bad for the albinean kids. They'll hate the super hot months. But I guess everyone who's not from there or from Faerghus will hate training during snowy months too. Now that sounds fun! I like both options but as much as I would enjoy them having enough time for some good old mystery solving I really love the chaos that would ensue if they had only a few days! Man you're lucky. Apparently we'll have a bit of rain today but I doubt it'll be much. So go ahead and give us some of your 'bad' weather xD |

Sorry for taking so long - had a very long and emotionally draining day. Also, no wifi.
Now, I wonder if I had chosen a different first dish, would you have reacted the same? Hmmm. But yes, dessert for a whole week sounds not only very boring but unhealthy!
I'll see what everyone else thinks then! Should I take that as a vote for chaos vs mystery solving?
Aww, hope it gets cooler over there. The high for us today is 18° so that's not too bad.

That's fine. Hope you're doing alright. You bet I would have! Well, maybe not if the first dish had been something bitter. Sure, it would be a great punishment to eat nothing but that for a week but part of the fun comes from some awful cooks messing up. And even they can't make bitter food taste even worse! Hm. I don't know. Ever played Ace Attorney? It kinda teaches that mystery solving and chaos aren't mutually exclusive. Oh well, I still vote for chaos! But I also won't complain if everyone else picks mystery solving instead ^^
Aww, lucky. I'm just glad I work early shift this week. Makes it more bearable. Thankfully it'll be a bit cooler tomorrow. |

I am, thank you. Had a bit of a health scare (what I thought was a heart attack ended up just being some strained rib muscles ) but, thankfully, everything worked out for the best. I love AA. I've played the first 3, Apollo Justice, the first Edgeworth game and I have all the others, I just need to get around to playing them. I'm sure a bit of both will happen either way - the vote is just to decide on the time frame ^^ That's good! Time to do a rain dance? |

Good ^^ But yeah, sounds terrifying. I kinda wish there was a way to immediately know what's wrong. It definitely would make stuff like that much less scary. Really?! Awesome! Team Ladder or Team Stepladder? The funny thing is, I haven't really thought about those games for a while now. Until I found out that we're finally getting The Great Ace Attorney. Both games! And it'll be released in a little over a month. Enough time for me to replay some of the older titles! You know, if the students take too long the 'outsiders' might try to escape on their own xD Bonus points if they actually succeed and yell at their classmates for not trying hard enough. "What the hell man, any longer and they would have killed us!" "I swear, we were going to get you the day before the Lantern Festival! You didn't seriously expect everyone to miss choir practice, their favorite meals or the chance of bonding with each other by having a tea party, did you?" "You three are the worst house leaders ever."
Funny you say that, it kinda looks like we'll be getting some rain this week  |

Oh, definitely! Who knows, maybe hundreds of years in the future that'll be possible Ladders and step ladders do have a singular key difference if I remember correctly. Something about ladders needing to be supported while step ladders stand on their own. I looked it up after playing AA xDPeople have been asking for those games for years so it's great that they've finally gotten around to translating them (Herlock Sholmes aside). Now, I just have to find time to play them! Between binge-watching Vincenzo (very good show, I recommend) and Critical Role, I've found myself with less time to game than I'd like haha That could be fun too! By that point, everyone will be a decent amount stronger than they are now. Them escaping on their own isn't implausible. I'm just waiting for the final conversations to finish then I'm happy to skip a week if everyone is on board with that ^^ Ember34 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 Had some today for like 5 minutes ;< |

So since you acknowledge that there is a difference I guess we won't have to argue about it. "That's a stepladder." "Yup." Imagine clicking on a stepladder and getting this disappointing dialogue xD
Yeah. We've been waiting for so long that I seriously did not expect it at all!
I think they would definitely try to escape on their own. Most of them don't seem to be the type to just sit around and wait until someone finds them. And at the same time the others might have found that place and after a while they would run into each other. Can't have them do nothing either, after all.

Waah, sorry, poofed a little again ;^^ Just got my first covid vaccine yesterday so today I've been feeling a bit fluey (seriously, my arm is DEAD). Seems like we're still waiting for conversations to end though, right? Nah, just an amiable agreement. Somehow, that might be funnier than cracking a joke about it! Appeals to my dry sense of humour, I guess. Are you playing anything else at the moment? Especially Megumi! She'd give them a tough time, for sure. Also, 𝚜𝚙𝚊𝚛𝚔𝚜𝚌𝚊𝚝𝚝𝚎𝚛 , ... is that Allen Walker?

One of my first too! Perhaps the longest anime I've ever watched. It's a shame I'm not caught up to the manga - I've heard it's really good but slow to come out.
I have it on DVD so maybe I'll watch it again ^^
Anyway, Allen is pretty.

I got mine last week and you won't believe how nervous I was that day. It went pretty well though. I hope the second one will cause no problems either. Yeah, it kinda is. Sometimes its just funnier that way! I'm not playing all that much right now but I think I'll play some Golden Sun again. Haven't played in a while. I also feel like replaying Persona 3 at the moment. Now I almost feel bad for them xD |

Moderna. I could have had the Oxford / Astra Zeneca one but Moderna sounded safer '^^
I thought it was going to feel a lot worse than it did so I'm pretty glad about that. I've heard the second one tends to give you less symptoms than the first.
Persona 3, huh? I really wish I had a console I could play it on... seriously waiting for it to get remastered. Don't know if that's likely but fingers crossed.
I might go ahead and replay Nier sometime. I've been missing it's incredibly smooth combat system haha

Yeah, Moderna doesn't sound too bad. I got Comirnaty (Biontech/Pfizer) and can't complain either. And I've heard that too, at least from most people. For some it's the other way around.
A remaster would be awesome. If they ever make one I hope they keep the option of choosing between a male or female protagonist. They only had that in the PSP Version. But if they do I hope they give the male protag better Social Links. It's one of my biggest complaints about the game. The male protag can only befriend the female members of SEES while the female protag can befriend everyone on the team. And you know what's even worse? The male protagonist has to romance every female Social Link. Meanwhile the female protag can choose whether she wants to romance the guys or not. Ugh. If you're going to let us choose which gender to play as at least don't make one of them vastly superior. Haha, sorry about the rant ^^ But yeah, I really want a remaster of that game too.
Ah, Nier. Another game I want to try someday. Maybe some other time though. I'm already waiting for three games (or four since The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles includes both games) so I'll definitely have enough on my plate this year xD
