Scott Pilgrim vs. Rakuen

[heardramonasing]

Hey all! My name's Dan, and I'll be tossing this poor sap, Scott Pilgrim, into the mix here! Scott will be in the Fortitude building, and he'll be teaching music.. WHICH he has forgotten how to play! So he's gonna' be a stellar teacher, yeah?

I'm ready to sink my teeth into some amazing plot/CR, so let's have at it, shall we?

Mod announcement post.

Just a few things that have come up in the form of questions over the last days. Most of these are on the wiki, but we appreciate there is a lot of information to take in and remember, so it bears repeating.

Time Line

There are 2 IC days for every OOC day. This means that in one round, the first weekend (in this case Saturday 7th and Sunday 8th) is Saturday (the free day). Monday and Tuesday = Sunday, Wednesday and Thursday = Monday, etc., until we are back at a Saturday and Sunday = Saturday (For this round it is the 21st).

Jobs and other shops

As the headmistresses said, characters can get jobs in the shops, cinema, theater, restaurants and cafes. Any job, no matter what it is, will earn you 5 Raks for the day. These are Saturday jobs only because it's the only day characters are guaranteed to be able to leave the campus.

Characters can also go buy from the other shops, go to the restaurants, cafes and cinema. The shops sell pretty much everything, though not Exaclan supplies, or memory charms or PDAs. Prices are a little steeper in the other shops, as unbeknown to everyone Recette is giving you a schools discount. Isn't she nice!

Feel free to hand wave prices. As a rough estimate, a Rak is about 2-3 dollars. If it's something on Recette's price list and you are buying from elsewhere, just add on a couple of Raks depending on how big/expensive the object is.

Menu

As stated, discards have to eat from the discard menu. Players and owned Weapons can choose to eat from this, or choose from the other food. The discard menu is the same every day:

Breakfast: Thick porridge. Sometimes there might be a hint of salt, but for the most part it is completely tasteless.

Lunch: Watery soup, it claims to be vegetable but unless you count the strange green/brown mush that sometimes appears in it you can't be sure.

Dinner: Barley stew. That is, lots of barley of the same consistency as porridge; sometimes if you are lucky you will find a piece of carrot. If you're even luckier you might get a bit of meat that, for any characters familiar with processed foods, looks like it came out of a can.

Drink: Water

For everyone else the food varies.

Breakfast: There are a variety of cereals, thick milky porridge (with honey or sugar or salt), bread, toast, croissants, hummus, fruit, jams and even things like peanut butter. Pretty much if it is a breakfast food in any country, real or imaginary, it will probably show up at one point.

Lunch: Sometimes this is a cooked meal, sometimes it is sandwiches. Again, it varies daily and can come from anywhere in the world, including fantasy worlds. It is likely at least one character will recognize the food each day.

Dinner: Always a hot meal. Like the others it varies day today and can come from anywhere.

Desserts: Like the other meals, they vary in origin and are different every day. Hot pies, honey cakes, fruit, scones, baklava. You name it, they have it.

Drinks: Tea, coffee, orange, apple, mango, pineapple juice, hot chocolate, water, fizzy lemonade and Coke.

Classes

Classes start tomorrow (IC Monday, OOC Wednesday). Classes don't have to be logged, but if you are a teacher and want to post your character teaching, feel free! Or if you are a student and want to pick a random NPC-taught class (all the general subjects are taught and a few random ones thrown in for fun) for your character to be in and interact with fellow students, feel free as well!

Assume that if your character is going to lessons they are receiving a rak a day! Remember Discards have to attend school in the afternoon as well. These lessons are mainly languages, maths, Exaclan rules etc. There are textbooks in the library that cover all subjects (though there are no books about Rakuen itself, or the world it is in).

Once again if anyone has any questions feel free to ask any of us!
