THE PREMISE
Characters are ICly aware of the following:

You are raising a child; this year, the Prince of the Kingdom has declared he will marry the lucky girl who dazzles his heart at the Summer Festival! In order to have your little girl become a princess, you have 12 weeks to raise her Charm, Intelligence, and Diligence by choosing classes and free time activities that will bolster these traits. Additionally, every round you will be facing moral dilemmas - difficult situations wherein you must use your best judgment to either punish or support your child, depending on the situation. While moral dilemmas do not determine any specific stat, needlessly punishing or neglecting your child will change her temperament, which changes how well she interacts with her classes, as well as her moral compass, which affects how good of a person she becomes.

Although no characters may feel pain or experience death, there is a very slim chance of characters' daughters enduring such experiences in worst-case scenarios.

THE MECHANICS & RULES
• You will have 3 rounds (3 "weeks" per round, and 1 optional "week" for people who cannot participate during game running hours to participate) to either attend classes for your daughter that will raise Charm, Intelligence, or Diligence, or otherwise use free time in order to raise those stats.

• Classes are as follows: Culture class boosts Charm. Martial Arts boosts Diligence. Math & Science class boosts Intelligence.
• Each round has a total of 54 classes to schedule for (3 classes every day Monday thru Saturday, with Sunday as a mandatory day off).
• For the sake of simplicity, you may simply turn in with a note of either dividing up times between classes evenly or focusing on one class, without micromanaging the numbers.
• You may also choose to engage in free time with your child, using your character's own personal skills in order to raise your child's stats. Temperament and moral compass may change during free time.

• Every round, you will have 3 moral dilemmas in which you must choose to either punish or support your child in the conflict. In the moral dilemma, you may also interact with your child directly. Changes in moral dilemma may change the child's temperament as well as her moral compass.

• Temperament affects how well your daughter learns the materials. If you punish your child unnecessarily or neglect your child, her temperament will change. This will not affect your unit's chances at winning.
• A fair temperament means your daughter will get decent results in any class.
• A rebellious temperament is more effective for Diligence while being less effective for Charm.
• A meek temperament is more effective for Intelligence while being less effective for Diligence.
• A snobby temperament is more effective for Charm while being less effective for Intelligence.

• Moral compass affects your child's disposition to do either good or evil. This does not affect her stats, however it will decide the path that moral dilemmas go. This will not affect your unit's chances at winning.

• Good is defined as 'selfless' actions or 'actions that convey thoughtfulness of others' while also 'abiding the law'.
• Neutral is the default state, and complicated moral compasses are swept under Neutral for the sake of simplicity.
• Evil is defined as as 'selfish' actions or 'actions that convey thoughtfulness/thoughtlessness of others' and those actions may 'not abide with the law'.

• At the end of the game, every unit whose daughter becomes a princess will be a winner! Note that there will be 5 winners at maximum.

• Every day, the round will start at 6:30PM PST.

• Each round will last 3-4 hours, roughly speaking. Due to work schedule on Youji's part the game will be a little slow to start every first hour; though Youji will (most likely) be able to handle any OOC questions you may also ask Mora if necessary!

Miscellaneous Q&A
• Q: Can we leave early/come in late?
A: Absolutely! Just assume you like, went through a door and then it was the hallway but then the elevator wasn't there but then the door wasn't there until it opened again, or otherwise assume your character is just on autopilot.

• Q: Is…. there weird time dilation things happening this is like 12 weeks and also like,,
A: Yes, no, sort of, maybe? If you want to play timefuckery going on, there may be a vague feeling of just, having spent a nebulously long time in this game. You may also just play it as just being in the game for a couple of hours.

• Q: Do we have our powers/items?
A: Yes, and yes!

• Q: Can we ask IC questions to the gamerunner?
A: Nnnnnnnnno. There is no gamerunner that will respond. You can ask OOC questions to @karlsefni#8181 or @Mora#9683!

• Q: Where do we talk about game stuff on Discord?
A: Your own unit chan will do! Otherwise, if you want to just chatter about the game, keep it in #game-chan.

Comment here if you have any other OOC questions!

The keys are divided into three sections inside of the vending machine: gold, silver, and bronze.

inscribed onto the gold keys is the word nobility;
inscribed onto the silver keys is the word chivalry;
inscribed onto the bronze keys is the word humility.

Characters are aware that all keys have advantages and disadvantages, and will determine the starting point for the path in their game. Upon any unitmate picking a key and opening the door, everyone on the same unit may enter freely.

Valkyrie
Con. . . gratulations?
You're not really sure if you should get congratulations. Your daughter did not succeed in the Summer Festival—she didn't even try. However, she will make certain that her loved ones are always protected, always safe. If they break, she'll just have to fix them.

She's happy. Aren't you?

Your basket has dolls of both Aster Hela and Sophia attached at the hands, surrounded in confetti, with a little zipper on Aster Hela's back. When you unzip it, two giant chocolate wings pull out. Sophia looks - and smells - a little singed.

Concubine Princess
Are you surprised?

Your daughter did not attend the Summer Festival, but you know who did?

Her girlfriend.

She won the Summer Festival, and boldly told the Prince that she would not marry him unless Shira was with her, for Shira was irreplaceable to her. The Prince . . . agreed? It turns out he's like, marrying a bunch of girls or something, so . . . he would be a hypocrite if he didn't let his wives have wives of their own, right?

Well . . . that's . . . a twist! Congratulations!!?

Selfish Princess
Congratulations!
Your daughter has proven herself in the Summer Festival, and she has been chosen to be the princess of your kingdom. Although you are no longer able to see your daughter anymore, you're very proud of her and happy that she was able to fulfill her dream. Because she is egocentric and has a neutral stance in morality, she does what she pleases, giving her the title of "Selfish Princess". She is rather eccentric, but she's happy, and that makes you happy.

You're not really sure if you should get congratulations. Your daughter did not succeed in the Summer Festival—she didn't even make it there. Somehow, someway, she . . . just . . .

Well.

You wonder if you could have done better, and sometimes, you wish you did, but at least you know—she's . . . happy.

Your basket has what looks like a doll in it, but when you pick it up, the doll falls into complete pieces - no, not quite pieces.

Peels.

But hey, there's chocolate inside!

Evil Princess

You're not really sure if you should get congratulations. Your daughter did succeed in the Summer Festival, but she's . . . also running a corporate crime family. Uhm. . . You're not sure if you should regret how you raised her or not. . .

Actually, nevermind.

You are sure you should not get congratulations.

Your daughter had fun fighting, at least.

Dying was less fun, but at least now - finally, she can't See anymore.

Royal Princess
Congratulations!
Your daughter has proven herself in the Summer Festival, and she has been chosen to be the princess of your kingdom. Although you are no longer able to see your daughter as much as you used to, you're very proud of her and happy that she was able to fulfill her dream. You know that she will do her best to help everyone - she speaks out against the discrimination of those who are sick and disabled, those who are Other. She is a princess, but she is also a hero.

Great Liberator
Con. . . gratulations?
You're not really sure if you should get congratulations. Your daughter did not even try to go to the Summer Festival, instead becoming a revolutionary. She plans to liberate this entire country; she will make this world pure.

No, no wait. You're AlcheME!. Of course you're sure you should get congratulations.

Congratulations!

Queen of the Court
Congratulations!
Your daughter was not successful in the Summer Festival. . . but she's already found her passion anyway. Your daughter has grown up to be the Queen of the Court - or in other words, a professional sportsball player; she may not be a princess, but she's found something she loves to do, and honestly, that's all you could ask for. Because she's a noblewoman, her profession is technically just being a noblewoman, but . . . you know what, sportsball!
