Introduction post
M: Okay, everyone! I'm Monika, president of the literature club. Since we heard our club is strangely popular, despite the failure of the festival (which we would rather not remember), we have decided to open an ask blog! This is both as extra writing and public interaction practice, and to make our club more well-known. If you wish to ask any four of us something, about the club, literature, ourselves, our relationships, or anything you want, make sure to click that handy "Ask us anything!" button above. Got that? Great. So, a few facts about myself to get you started: Not to brag or anything, but I'm pretty popular at school, and I come from a wealthy family. It's not all pretty, though. I have few true friends outside the club, and my parents are strict and demand perfection. Oh, and as for my hobbies outside of literature, I'm on my school's volleyball team, and I was in the debate club last year. I can find something fun in pretty much anything I have the time for. If there is any spare time, given how I like to keep myself busy... Now, why don't the three of you introduce yourselves as well? Who wants to go first?
S: Ooh, me, me!
M: Ahaha, alright, Sayori.
S: So, I'm Sayori, the literature club's vice president! People often call me the sunshine or the cinnamon bun of the club, which is true on the surface. But deep down, I suffer from chronic depression. Sometimes the rainclouds just get a bit too dense, you know? But I know that even when that happens, my friends will be there to help me see the sunshine again. As for my hobbies, I'm a big foodie, and I especially like sweets. I also like being in nature when I have the strength to go out. I guess that's pretty much it. Ehehe, this is gonna be fun!
M: Alright, which one of you wants to go next?
Y: (Uuu... What am I gonna say? I hope I don't embarrass myself...)
N: I-I'll go. Alright, listen up, nerds. Don't you dare make fun of me–
Y: Natsuki, that's a b-bit harsh, don't you think?
N: Yeah, yeah. Sorry, I got carried away. I just want to be taken seriously.
M: Don't worry, Natsuki. If someone is rude to you, you can simply resolve it with them privately.
N: Sounds good. Well, I'm Natsuki. I like baking, anime, and manga. And before you ask, yes, manga is literature. Parfait Girls is my jam. ...My dad is abusive, and I get bullied for my interests at school. The club is my safe space, where I can be with my friends who accept me as I am, and read my manga in peace. But any time away from home is good by me. You better not ask us anything too weird, 'kay?
M: Great. That just leaves you, Yuri.
Y: O-okay. H-Hey, I'm Yuri. I enjoy reading horror and fantasy novels and drinking tea. I've been re-reading Portrait of Markov lately. There's something about the power of literature to transform you to a different world that I find truly fascinating. I'm a bit shy, but I can talk confidently about my interests. I, um, I also like collecting knives and other sharp objects. It's a combination of admiring the fine craftsmanship and the thrill of danger. ...Uuu, I'm rambling, aren't I?
S: Not at all, Yuri, you did great!
Y: Uhuhu, I'm glad you think so.
M: Okay, everyone! That will be all. I believe we can end this post on a good note. And you, user, ask away!
(OOC from here)
Hey, everyone! So I've seen a few ask blogs on my feed, and I thought that RPing as characters I like in a format like this could be fun.
This takes place in an AU where DDLC is a slice-of-life anime instead of a game (hence the pfp's art style), MC doesn't exist, and Monika isn't self-aware. Her personality is inspired by Monika in the Blue Skies Mod, i.e., kind, outgoing, and confident, but also a perfectionist. The rest of the dokis maintain their Act 1 personalities. If any ships between the dokis come up, it's probably going to be Yurika and Sayosuki (sorry, Natsuri fans!), as these are my favorite pairings, but the dokis are generally all close friends with each other. You can ask whatever you want, but do keep in mind I reserve the right not to answer. If I choose not to, I'll do my best to make the reason clear to you. Also, as this is about DDLC, answers will potentially contain heavy topics such as depression, suicidal ideation, parental abuse, bullying, anxiety, self-harm, or lewd themes (text only for all). Every post will have a trigger warning at the top and in tags if needed, but you might want to avoid interacting if you are sensitive to any of these themes. And with that, ask away!
