⸻⸻  • ⁍  SCHEDULING

jane maintains a very consistent schedule for life in the bureau, from exercising to work to diet— plans and socializing. straying from said schedule isn't damning⸻ for example, if she's distracted with conversation⸻ but routine is safer.

4:30 AM — wake up. — get dressed. — make bed. — prepare and ingest protein shake. ( 100cal )

4:45 AM — workout monday ( full— body: core, flexibility ) tuesday ( arms & legs ) wednesday ( cardio ) thursday ( full— body: boxing, speed ) friday ( arms & legs ) saturday ( cardio ) sunday ( yoga )

5:45 AM — shower. change. — return gym bag to cell. — put dirty clothes away.

6:00 AM — breakfast ( 600cal 2 eggs, 1 slice american cheese, 2 slices whole— wheat toast, 8oz milk, 1 orange )

6:30 AM — outline daily schedule, review weekly schedule. ( create weekly schedule on saturday for following week ) ( pencil in “spontaneous” events, ie. eating out, movie nights, overtime missions. modify meal plan for the day to stick to calorie intake/ adjust sleep schedule to account for late nights ) — wash clothes ( every other day ) — check work email. — call nursing home around 7:00 AM. — socialize ( if applicable )

7:30 AM — clock in. — check depot for supply office deliveries. bring to supply office. help unload and update inventory. ensure all orders are input. do not get entangled in conversation with faye and luminita for too long.

8:00 AM — go to next location; varies on day. lunch may have to be moved to accommodate missions, paperwork, other bureau duties. ( work day also includes time for training in training room, typically before any daily missions but will try to train from 11:00-12:00 daily. )

12:00 PM — lunch ( 600cal varies on daily selection. usually a simple salad with no dressing or sandwich. banana. 8oz water. 1 protein bar. )

12:30 PM — back to work. — see chief once a day. even if just a glance. spot them from across the hall or have a conversation before moving onto next task. ( used to mentally schedule a time to find chief. due to the unpredictability in chief’s schedule, jane often can’t find them when she wants to. lead to some anxiety, tries to limit encounters to once a day, anytime. ) — try to limit informal conversations to lunch breaks and off— work hours.

3:30 PM — clock out. — see hypnotherapist on wednesdays after clocking out. — change out of work clothes. — go for a short run in outdoor activity room.

4:00 PM — free time. check recreation room, library, outdoor recreation. — call mom and dad.

6:00 PM — dinner ( 600cal varies on daily selection. cafeteria has a special dinner on fridays that jane will consistently get. )

6:30 PM — free time.

8:00 PM — shower. — brush teeth. — wash face.

8:30 PM — set alarm. — go to bed.

note:

jane does not work regularly on weekends but will work overtime if the opportunity arises. she typically will submit a leave of absence for most of the day to spend at the nursing home with her parents. sometimes alone, occasionally with chief.

jane sticks to a daily 1800 calorie diet. it is technically 1900 including her protein shake, but her workouts are rigorous enough that she omits it from her day— to— day plan. jane prefers to be given some time in advance to look at a menu before going out to eat. she may refuse food offered to her or modify her exercise plan or diet the following day to account for going over that amount.

jane enjoys socializing even if her free time rarely allows it. she will always stay awake for movie nights if it's interesting.

jane struggles with spontaneity and relies on a strict plan for success, as honed from competitive schooling and bank heists. she is usually flexible with minor upsets in her weekday schedule, but grows uneasy if there is a large part of her schedule changed without notice. ( creating a schedule pantomimes self— control; she hands control over to time and others, chance is rarely welcome to any of her time. )

ㅤ there's a list of things i wonder about in the bureau but one of them is the bathroom situation. i think it makes sense for there to be a public washroom but i've seen no mention of it. i also think it would be beneficial for some sinners to have their own private quarters, and given how progressive the bureau tries to treat its sinners, i don't think it's impossible to think everyone has their own bathroom.

ㅤ ideally there's both. definitely a washroom attached to the training room, maybe a bigger bathroom outside the cells so people don't have to run to their cell and back. the bigger concern is those cameras in everyone's cell. #personally i've always thought that each sinner has a door for their bathroom near the back end of their cell so it's not televised. 😭

[agncy]

so milly & macchiato don't canonically interact.

[agncy]

loves to play soccer ⚽️ always has grass stains on his knees

very rowdy kid

LATTE

( 6, female)

you don't understand how ecstatic macchi was to have a sister. latte is almost like a daughter to her.

when macchi complains about one of her siblings having a crush and not focusing on school, latte is who she's calling. macchi was genuinely taking it too seriously

latte is VERY sassy and full of personality. she's a natural born leader. mocha is her sidekick.

likes to draw princesses

MOCHA

( 4, female)

very shy and quiet. the house is very very loud (lots of crying & minor arguments) and it overwhelms her. she tends to shut down.

trusts latte with her life

will try to include doppio in some activities but doppio doesn't engage a lot of the time.

loves macchiato because latte loves macchiato, she doesn't have much of a relationship with macchi because macchi's at school and work.

likes to draw dragons

DOPPIO

( 3, male )

a lot of emotional struggles because mom paid a lot of attention to him until affogato was born and is now the youngest in the house

misbehaves & cries a lot for attention

latte will try to mother him but she's also six years old. he always calms down when cappuccino holds him on his lap facing outward.

doppio doesn't know who macchi is

AFFOGATO

( a few months, male)

macchiato has not met affogato because she was detained by the MBCC when he was born.

overall kind of a chill baby.

dad is a real estate agent, very established in his firm which helps pay for a LOT. mom is a stay at home mom, makes some money by babysitting neighborhood kids. they kept growing their family because they liked the baby stage. a few of these pregnancies were accidental, there was a miscarriage between cappuccino— americano & doppio— affogato. all the kids have a combination of red or brown hair and red or brown eyes. red hair, red eyes: macchi red hair, brown eyes: americano, doppio, affogato brown hair, red eyes: cappuccino, mocha brown hair, brown eyes: espresso, latte

old IDs from school & the bank. ( she looks these over from time to time to judge how old she's getting )

a pair of ripped pantyhose she keeps forgetting to throw away

scattered pictures of her family & siblings growing up: her parents' coffee shop, family photos with a new baby each time, one picture of macchiato, espresso, & cappuccino holding their three youngest siblings with bottles, copies of school pictures of each of her siblings... it's endless

a diary she only takes out when she's had a particularly hard day

four plastic bags with labeled locks of hair, each from her younger siblings' first haircuts.

macchiato's portrayal.

macchiato is a victim of sexual abuse in path to nowhere & this is inseparable to her character. below are notes regarding how i will address her abuse in writing:

( before you read: if you tell me/ state you are uncomfortable with this topic in your rules/ about, this will not come up in our threads!! )

macchiato has experienced the following, all mentioned in game:

sexual harassment (specifically in the workforce)

sexual assault

sexual abuse

forced sex— work

blackmail

i will...

briefly mention experiences from her previous job ( ie. comparing her current work environment to her previous one, referencing how she disliked her old job, talk about practices she learned like tying knots... )

explore the aftermath of her trauma. macchiato will create physical distance between herself & another person, struggle to refuse most offers, continue habits she doesn't know how to break, etc.

DM you to make sure you're comfortable if i mention something specific in writing.

put sensitive material under a "read more" ( she has had panic attacks when triggered in previous threads— something like this will be under a read more )

i will not...

mention her abuse around you or your characters if you tell me/ your rules or mun info say you are uncomfortable with it. again, all mentions in other threads will be tagged & potentially under a read more. it is okay to block or unfollow me if you'd like— i have other accounts that don't dive into this subject matter if you'd like to stay in touch; your comfort always comes first.

write detailed flashbacks & references to her abuse.

ship macchiato x chief under any romantic or sexual circumstances. because ptn's bordering a harem appeal where most of the characters want chief, macchiato falls under this category. but because of her previous abuse at the hands of her employer, i don't feel comfortable writing macchiato in a situation like that.

write macchiato's sex work. i know in game she continues to accept offers in the MBCC ( & also says she doesn't want to, BTW! ) but she will say no because i won't put her in that position. no fading to black, no nothing.

defend aisno. i'm aisno's #1 hater. they write how macchiato is uncomfortable with what she was subjected to & continue to portray her in the same situations & use her sex work as a means to support the MBCC in their 4komas. i don't think her claims that she's "okay with it as long as it's chief" are believable; the company values making a profit over their own writing. yawn!

I WILL BLOCK YOU IF...

you joke about macchiato being a "dommy mommy", wanting her to preform services on you, etc.

your character asks macchiato for services without plotting with me, the writer, first.

you continually disrespect macchiato's boundaries IC & OOC. just don't be an asshole.

[agncy]

i found them.

[agncy]

jndoe (jane) —> vaindolly (jane, macchiato, OC) —> vaindolly-hiatus

—> agncy (jane, macchiato)

i was thinking about jane in the car yesterday and i couldn't shake her from my mind ughhhhh i miss her. and macchi i could never tire of macchi.

to talk a little more about myself & where i've been:

when i first got macchi & nepheline onto the account, i had a serious mental health scare and cut a few things out until i found my ground again. happy to say im a lot more stable right now (yahoo!) and have been roleplaying on a few other accounts in other fandoms and i've been having a lot of fun with that. i feel a lot more comfortable with the website & less nervous around new people so i'm hoping for a more productive comeback. yay!

i honestly have the most intense love-hate relationship with how PTN is written, specifically with how aisno markets their characters & how people react to them (/nbh, general fandom observation). you will hear me talk about how beautifully aisno crafts macchiato's character only to tear it to shreds to market her to players. it pushed me away from enjoying the game for a while, but after time away from it i want to dip my toes back into it so i can see jane and macchi again.

additionally....... ive been busy with work + it's prime time for new job postings so i'm a little wrapped up in those details. activity will still be low but i'll be logged on and checking and everything.

a few changes to the account:

jane & macchiato will be my primary muses. for years ive been wanting to write ariel but until i'm continously active here, she won't come. but she might. i'll probably limit to just those two-three... but just know im very very greedy and always want more (looking at bianca).

jane & macchiato will also have two new verses: pokémon & fandomless

nepheline (oc) has moved to @debutafin. she doesn't have a ptn verse on that account but she is designed with the discity universe in mind so crossverse interactions will be soooo easy. additionally, chantasia & aphid have also been created with discity as their main universe; chantasia & nepheline's stories are tied together. tbh all my ocs are awesome and gorgeous and very thought out and i will always go to bat for them, they just won't be here. i may add a ptn verse for fun for them.

kicks rocks. i'm probably going to redo macchi's icons... i liked jane's icons i had before but i also deleted them from my computer so i will also redo them as well. give me the weekend and they'll probably be finished. idk looking back on them now i dont like how they look. 🤒

thanks soo much for reading this far if you have! im so sorry to be away for so long and cut contact >_<!! again, sincerely hoping to be around more, but i'd love to catch up with you all here or on discord!

[agncy]

yeah erm. i think i'll be going on indefinite hiatus 😓

i know i just redid everything for this blog and i was genuinely so excited about it but part of my excitement was hoping i could rekindle the excitement i used to feel for path to nowhere... unfortunately my interest is really low in it right now + other irl things...

i do really want to say that in the very short time this blog has been active that i've been so welcomed and treated kindly so THANK YOU for being patient with me and expressing interest in writing with me!! maybe one day i'll come back if i have more interest in path to nowhere but for now i'll be logging off ... 😵
