Should we get a name and identity for Robin's coworker maybe. And get an agreement for what ages people are okay with rp-ing with.

If someone else has an idea for the other worker at the concession stand that can loop in a connection, I'll gladly adjust. Until then... Derek Evans is going into his Senior year. Athletic and tall, he was voted MVP of the varsity football team last year, and he has a car—all of this glory has gone directly to his head and makes him feel above petty things like 'rules' or 'respect for others'. As long as he flashes that winning smile, he's noticed there's very little he can't get his way on. He's working because his dad wants him to learn about 'the real world', something Derek is convinced he'll never have to worry about once he gets into college on a sports scholarship. 

As far as age goes... I'm most comfortable 15-16+ (more in the Junior / Senior class demographic). I'm playing Robin as going into her Junior year as a transfer student. But as long as we're in high school, I'm ok. I'm personally not really comfortable going younger into loli territory.

Okay, we'll do the summer folk setting. We'll modify it to fit your characters, but feel free to borrow the suggested skins from the book.  Potter's neck is popular vacation spot, with beaches, n

This is moving fast, im blanking on which of like 3 things this could be about xD

As part of the Infernal's character creation (in the Backstory section), you get to put a free String on another character who thinks 'they can save you'. I think @WritesNaughtyStories was volunteering Dylan - The Hollow to be that person, and if you agree, where/how do you think they would have met?

Ah! Well my immediate thought would be him becoming a hollow had something to do with my patron, maybe he was on his way to becoming like velvet but got away...

That all said that may be TOO big of a tie in, but thats my first thought...

The second would simply be the fact that velvet just... feels empty like a pretty doll to him, and being a hollow is finding common ground

...additionally i have to pick 3 characters to have strings on me, so far im thinking of just giving them all to mr ascars unless anyone wants to use them for anything special? 

If you think Selene might have been able to pilfer something then I'd be open to having her have one!

Speaking of which, did anyone wish to have caught Selene rumaging through their friend's things, although kept it quiet (giving them a string on her)? And would anyone wish to have had something of their's pilfered by Selene in the past, and if so what might have been taken (I can take a string from two people for that)?

No obligation, but how do you feel about Robin having a String on Velvet from helping her evade Mr. Ascars? For instance, Robin might have seen Velvet distressed and walking away from the unsettlingly charming older man, and by reflex she approached her, started talking with her, and walked her away. In Robin's mind, she was helping a girl get away from creep, but in reality she was buying a little time for Velvet away from her Dark patron—something at least a part of Velvet may be grateful for.

If that doesn't speak to you, it's cool. There's also good tension in starting the game with a lot of Dark Force strings and close to Darkest Self trigger the Infernal has.

Totally cool if someone else has another idea here and wants this string, but how do you feel about Robin catching Selene going through her cousin Charlotte's things? Robin and Charlotte have a tense relationship (Robin's a 'good girl' and Charlotte's a punk. Charlotte's also younger and could be in Selene's grade), so Robin might just not say anything to be a bit petty to Charlotte while also having seen this side of Selene.

Currently im trying to nail down velvets sides, im leaning into her darkest self being at her patrons mercy and having that be a big thing where she is almost hypnotized 

Meanwhile at lower patron strings she is a greedy person, somewhat knowing whats going on and trying to retain some semblance of freedom and self without making it obvious to mr. Ascars

Actually quite like this, we need to flesh it out a liiiitle more but i feel like that has potential

I feel it could be interesting if selene stole velvets notebook, and came across an escape plan that seemed to be her trying to decide how to avoid... things most people wouldn't need to be concerned about when planning an escape... not sure how much i should detail that

I like this idea! We'll go with that then. I like the idea that Selene is in Charlotte's grade as well, gives another way to interconnect things. Robin gets a string on Selene for her kleptomatic ways.

Sounds good! How much you want to detail about it is up to you, I don't mind fleshing out the details or keeping it mysterious and something to maybe figure out in the game (if you wanted more time to think about it), although since it does classify as a book I feel Selene will have tried to read it. Either way I'll put Velvet's notebook down as a token!

Sounds great, i think ill just say a lot of it feels esoteric and odd, with protecting the mind being emphasized uncomfortably so

I like this. Robin may have helped Velvet during one of these low-tide moments where Mr. Ascars had spent his Strings and Velvet was acting more independent. Perhaps he had recently asked her to do something particularly awful (Robin wouldn't know about that) and was beckoning her back to the house. If Mr. Ascars values subtlety, then Velvet might be able to lie that she couldn't go back without it looking suspicious—a lie that only tenuously works because when he comes out looking for her, Robin intervenes (thinking Ascars is a creep). 

To flesh it out more, it might have happened in Playland. Velvet could have been there stealing a bit of time to do something 'normal', and the encounter happens as the amusement park is closing up and the streetlights are on, with Robin having just locked up the concession stand and making her way toward the exit. 

It could even have just happened the night before the game starts.

i was reading up on advancements and saw it mentioned that each skin has 2 "highlighted" advancements which both mark experience when used once a "scene"

Someone correct me if I'm off, but I don't see that. Are you in the Monsterhearts 2 book or the original? We've been using MH2 as the baseline, and that says you get XP from failing rolls (roll 6 or lower), accepting when someone pulls a String on your character, and some Skins may have Moves that give XP. 

Not sure if the MC wants to gives any clarity on how scenes will be marked. I'm not sure I'm seeing what the difference would be in play by post (inexperience on my end, I'm sure).

https://buriedwithoutceremony.com/wp-content/uploads/2017/01/monsterhearts-reference-sheets.pdf by IsabellaRose rose in the first page of this threat

In document its under the advancement section on i think the second page

Now its possible this reference page is for a different/older version, but i was going off of what i saw here

Right, I did think of a question to ask before the game starts. Each of us has a Sex Move. Some of them only require you to lay naked with another, which is pretty simple enough to understand. For the ones that say you have to have sex, what will we classify as having sex for meeting those requirements? Is something like giving or receiving oral enough to count? Or does it need to be full penetrative? Figured it'd be good to establish this beforehand so it is answered before it can come up, given the sort of game this is and the site it is on (I imagine things may become quite lewd).

I think as this is a play by post setting maybe adding a small scene length minimum just as an element of standardization, or just give the MC leeway in deciding if something needs tweaking 

As a game some level of rules helps... but as a erotic bit of media too many rules causes issues... i want a middle ground personally

Honestly, it looks 99% the same from what I'm seeing. It just looked like you stumbled on the one part that was obviously and distinctly different between editions, haha

So failing any skill gives exp? Or what are the rules there
