    Since Disclosed already said the thing I wanted to say to your question but I didn't say it because I was thought I misread your thing when I actually didn't, and I don't really have any other questions or suggestions that aren't frivolous, I guess this is a good time to express my adulation via shitpost art and get my nose even browner than ever.



    PS, ur a turd elwood

    Trying to secure your slot before the game even starts, eh, Ech?

    But that lighting on Kaze, though. A++

  • Throw out your wine and bread ladies, I decided I'm going to join after all! Should I read this OOC or is this basically cornered 2.0 and everything that appears in here is basically banter?

    Siding with Grelzar. Bye, Fox. Go reanimate Gunpowder or something.

    On a serious note, yeah, I'm assuming we can use this workshop to shit-post a little bit but, ultimately, the aim is be constructive (if that was what you were even asking about, Fox, lmao).

    We can always save the real banter for the OOC thread once it arrives. I CAN FEEL IT COMIN'. IT'S RIGHT ON THE HORIZON.

    (KIYO PLEASE, LOOK AT ALL THIS INTEREST, PLEASE SIX SLOTS, DON'T STRESS MEEE)

    Hi.

    I'm new to this place but I signed up because I used to lurk and I got sad when the original RP this was based off of faded away. It came across as so novel to me and a fun read, and this definitely has that potential. I'd be honored to throw my hat into the ring and work alongside the future cast, since it looks like a lot of the players from that story are returning to this one and I loved their character interactions and the way everyone wrote.

    If I have any future critiques or inquiries, I'll totally bring them up. I'll try to watch this thread while I get used to the way this board posts.

  • Hey folks, so there's some big updates to the OP and Essentials today!

    Lots of minor style changes and added information based on what was workshopped here, new FAQ questions, and such. The biggest change is a complete layout makeover of Finer Things and its locations, and custom maps I made! Be sure to check it all out and make sure you're not missing out on anything.

    Oh, and while I couldn't get to changing this officially yet: since there's been a good amount of interest, I intend to bump the player roster to 6.​

    Damn, you were able to cut a lot out. I think I like this version of the OP more, then, just based on brevity alone. Good job! And glad you at least kept the Intrigue Plot "genres".

    I should really be congratulating you on these maps, though. They make it so much easier to visualize. I can speak on behalf of all the Interest Thread stalkers drop-ins and say "thank you" for them, right?

    FAQ additions are nice as well. You're not leaving anything out!

    I'm telling you, you will not regret having six slots.

  • Updates:

    - Changed Chef Lombardi's gender to Female.
    - Combined the characters of Frankie and Johnnie into PJ Clarke. (It just felt like too many GM characters, especially considering I will be playing nearly everyone.)
    - Officially changed roster to 6 in OP.
    - Got a better looking header for the "Essentials."
    - Made anchors and links functional.

    We're getting close, folks! Just got to iron out all these missions and making the Intrigue Plots more open-ended and RP-worthy.​

  • Good holy lord Kiyo your formatting is gor. geous. Those generously typefaced headers, the symbols throughout, the chalk drawings of locations and Pokémon...
    You're too classy I love it.

    This premise is one whole big Intrigue Plot in itself! And I got all antsy as I scrolled down because I was really interested but was worried about what player characters it would have, and then BAM, it's a NO-HUMANS roleplay and that's my absolute favourite.

    I have a character in mind, an existing one who already works as a butler and has for most of his life, buuuut has a little experience as a waiter as well. He's got impeccable manners, enjoys serving others, and lets his kind heart show through his prim and proper demeanor. He's very refined and genteel, but he's likely to fluster under embarrassments, and certain unprofessionalism. I would have to give him a whole lot more fleshing-out but you know what, the suits me just fine!

    Or if that's a little too conveniently suited for the setting, perhaps... my aromatherapist character needs a job on the side? She would be out of her element, would that be more interesting than a butler who's already extremely well-mannered?

    One thing I wanted to ask about were the Missions.
    "Every hour, new Missions will appear that can earn you money."
    Now, how do these appear, exactly? I ask because I can certainly forsee the unfortunate event where, a couple of the characters are rather far away from where the mission popped up, and may not hear about its goings-on for a while, leading to a disadvantage. Or maybe they're still trying to finish up a previous Mission or Intrigue Plot.

    Oh, and one more thing, are you particularly hard-set against characters wearing ANYthing other than the tie? Because my butler character has a signature short blue waiter's jacket, as well as a necktie.

    Edit: One MORE more thing. One of your rules is first names only. I would argue that this really does not suit the setting, high is classy and fancy. Those kind of people use their surnames. Either exclusively, or both names. (That butler character for example, has a first name but it's rarely mentioned, he's called by his last name as butlers are. Clientele and fancy schmancy waiters would do the same.

    Was it ever explained what job the players actually have? Do we all have the same job or do we get to write our character as choosing to have applied for one position from a list you provide?

    Think I can answer this!

    I remember Kiyo mentioning somewhere in the original draft of the OP that our characters are part of the wait staff. Is it still there?

    Glad to see someone I don't know as well expressing interest in COTM, too!

    and everyone has fan-art except me

    The application is headed with "Join Our Wait Staff!"

    Unless Kiyo is actually a cockroach, I want to safely assume that's the case. But does it matter in the long-run anyway? Between the Missions and the Intrigue Plots, I feel like our characters are gonna end up doing all sorts of random things for the restaurant anyway outside of just serving food, or whatever it is the Wait Staff is normally associated with. As long as it benefits the Restaurant, I guess.

    Does that mean none of us are a cook, none of us are working the Foyer, etc?

    Ech is right, we'll be doing that stuff, but our position within the company is still important to our character. The profile of a cook would look different than the profile of a host or waiter.
