In which I will make pop culture references, and you will LAUGH; let us play Cherry Tree High!

I'm sticking with Sara, because I think her design is cuter than all the buttons in the world.

CINDY

Sara please.

Sara is adorable but CINDY

As much as I like Sara's design, I'm going to have to go with Cindy, s'il vous plaît!

I mean, childhood friend? That magnificant haircut? Interested in vidya games?


Come ooooooooooooooooooOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOn

Squishxd, do you speak French? Because it's not every day I see someone type "plaît" with l'accent circonflexe.

Je peux parler un peu! :D
I stopped (seriously) studying the language around a year ago and took up Japanese instead.
I'm fine with reading and writing in French, but my accent is horrendous.

Just an update, the vote currently stands at 4-2 in Cindy's favour.

If you're on Team Cindy, now's the time to seal the win, and if you're in House Sara, the pushback needs to happen now!

Voting for Cindy

Cindy please.

Also: Tsun Tsun forever.

I'm all for Cindy too!

Well, people seem to want Cindy, so I'll go with that.

My vote is fickle and occasionally random.

WHAT NO
SAAAAAAAAAAAAAARAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAA

Cindy~

Actually, my vote would be to keep Sara and get rid of May to get Cindy in because how could it not be hilarious to have a routine involving Sara and Cindy? But since that's not an option, I'll just say Cindy.

This is my vote too. Sara > Cindy > May.

I'm all for Cindy too.

So final vote is in at 10-3 in Cindy's favour. Firstly, I do apologize to those of you who wanted Sara, Cindy did win significantly more votes than Sara. With that, our final team will be May, Tsun-kun and Cindy!



Unsurprisingly, the activities that cost money (playing at the arcades, buying and reading magazines, watching movies, etc) are more effective at raising stats than watching tv or reading magazines picked up from the ground. As a result, we're building up our war chest a little by having Miley sell some homemade jewelry, earning us $5.

Again, it's the next day and Miley runs around town, chatting people up...



Sure Dina. Oh all people, you're the one lecturing us about responsibility.



As we all know, cat ear hats are the big thing among sophisticated women.



SLEEPING AMIDST THE CICADAS IS NOT A TOPIC I CAN TALK TO MAY ABOUT. WHY IS THIS WOMAN SO UNKNOWABLE





Wow, Tsun-kun's already defrosting



And all our rivals will fall before our might.





So the day is ended with a balanced schedule of video games and manual labour. Unfortunately, only Elise is allowed to slack off on the job, as Miley gets a 20$ pay deduction for napping on the job.





So here is where we stand at the moment. All considered, things are pretty good. Unfortunately however, Miley's fatigue is building up, though it should be manageable.

Now that we know the three we're shooting for, it's time to focus on building those skills so that we can seduce befriend them into joining our merry comedy club! What we know is that Cindy is into music, video games and martial arts, Tsun-kun is a defrosting ice queen and May is an unknowable labyrinth of the human condition.

Anyway, feel free to vote on as many skills as you'd like. The top 3 or 4 will be focused on for now, and we'll figure things out from there. Happy voting!

We should learn how to cook! After all, most people are seduced by the stomach!
And and... Politics are nice too! I mean... If you like discussing this stuff. I kinda do
We should also study some history.
AND FASHION ALL THE WAY!

VIDEO GAMES IS A MUST. And History. And politics. And I guess we could talk about singing too. I don't know.

I'm up for music, videogames and pets!

Videogames, music, and cooking. I feel like they're the most in-character subjects Miley would be interested in.

Videogames, Music and History seem a bit our style. How would we know what is funny now, if we can't appreciate the humor of the past? Our goal should be to make TIMELESS humor that transcends all eras. Videogames are necessity for collecting pop-culture references. Music is just because.

Video games, video games, and video games.

I know what everyone likes, so call me maybe.

Going for History, Vidya games and Music solely for this post. Elfaleon makes a damn good argument.

Video games, whodunnits, and romance.

Videogames is winning by a landslide, so I'm going to go ahead and be contrary for the hell of it. Music, History aaaaaaaand... Oh, what the heck. Let's make sure she won't burn down any houses when she's older; COOKING.

Videogames, cooking and... Hmm, what does romance even do, anyway? And how do you raise it?

Reading trashy novels from Mills & Boon? Playing otome games?

You practice on Cindy Tsun-kun.

Wait. Does Tsun-kun actually have a romance path in this? Because if so, I'm legitimately surprised.

I don't think so, this strikes me as a strictly no romance kind of game. That said, I'm flying blind here, so I could well be wrong.

Anyway, just an update, work has been crazy lately, with projects coming in from multiple priority clients, which means I'm all but living in the office at the moment. Hopefully, I'll be able to LP a bit over the weekend, but no guarantees at the moment.

Yeah, that's why I was a bit surprised at the Romance option of discussion, but then again, that's an interesting topic of conversation, so.

And best of luck with work! D: Nevermind the LP, I just hope you get enough rest;;;

Romance most likely refers to the book genre, like whodunnits.
Please don't make our protagonist into a serial Harlequin Novel enthusiast. Those are funny, but not in the ways that would be helpful to our troupe.

So, after meticulous tabulations, voting results are in:

Video Games: 8
Music: 6
History: 5
Cooking: 4
Politics: 2
Romance: 2
Whodunnits: 1
Fashion: 1
Pets: 1
Art: 0
Sports: 0
Travel: 0

Video games won by a landslide, who could possibly have foreseen that
So we'll be focusing on video games, music, history and cooking, which I'm really, really hoping are shared interests for our targeted three.

Now, where were we...

Given Miley's increasing fatigue, I figured she should probably have an early night.



I bought a Power Hero Rangers figure that Miley sleeps with, which is a hilariously adorable image. Now the description seems to imply it helps increase a stat, but honestly, I have no idea if it actually does anything. Still cute though.



OH JESUS FUCKING CHRIST

The combination of May's obsessive observations of Miley's physical appearance and her blank, soulless eyes really freak me out. The yandare is no longer in training





Good, her diminutive size will mean that she'll be easier to subdue when she inevitably tries to murder Cindy Tsun-kun in a fit of jealousy.





At least you're good for something, Sara.





Tsun-kun's got a sweet tooth!



For some reason, I find it really cute watching these two reminiscing about their childhood.

Anyway, as per the will of the people, Miley trains those gaming muscles at the local arcade.



Level up!




Presented without comment.

Miley got the skills. She feels the thrills. Miley plays the game. She gets the fame. She racked up score in kills.

I literally had to do a double-take when I saw Tsun-kun had a name outside of Tsun-kun. "CURTIS? SINCE WHEN IS HIS NAME CURTIS-- Oh, right."

He'll always be Tsun-kun to us. Mostly because I don't really like the name Curtis...

I have to admit, I have to actively remind myself his name isn't actually Tsun-kun.

Tsun-kun suits him much better than Curtis. Curtis looks like some high-school-sporty-bad-guy name.
