How would the ROs react if (during the crushing stage) they were stiting next to MC and MC fell asleep with their head on the RO's shoulder? 🥺🥺🥺

HI!! i promise i didn't forget this i've just been gone

Harlowe

I feel like he'd tense up at first, unsure of what to do. Internally panicking bc this is NOT a normal thing to happen to him. He'd play it cool tho, and probably wrap his arm around MC's shoulders and pull them in closer, maybe adjust them a bit so they're more comfortable while sleeping.

Florence

She'd freak out internally, both out of excitement and pure, "ohmyGOD they're so CUTE!!" vibes. Would be absolutely try to grab a blanket to be romantic and cover MC but would probably fail so miserably that she wakes up MC by accident.

Eden

Something tells me he'd be the one to fall asleep first. Buuuut if he isn't, I think Eden would probably wrap his arm around MC to steady them and then fall asleep, too. Upright cuddling or something. He and MC would both wake up with pain in their backs, though, because the position would not end up being comfortable.

Aena

Aena would freeze at first, but she'd get over the initial shock much faster than Harlowe. Would try to grab a blanket or nearby jacket or something so that MC isn't cold and can be comfy. She'd 1000% tease them about it when they wake up.

Alistaire

He'd be the only one to move MC away from him. But more out of respect for MC, ya know? Being in the crushing stage, Alistaire wouldn't want to accidentally cross any boundaries. So, he'd probably carry MC to the couch in his office & cover them with a blanket, then get back to grading papers or something.

Since we got the RO's favourite books, what are some of their favourite movies?? I'm so excited for the demo to drop 🥺🥺

Oooh, I had to think on this one a bit!! I didn't add many movie titles bc I personally am not a film buff and have very few movies I can think to reference, but I did try!

Harlowe

I think he'd love old-school movies of all kinds, like Sleepless in Seattle (he would not admit this to anybody except MC), Austin Powers, Dracula, and just about any/every Horror movie!

Florence

She's a Disney movie fanatic, for sure! I think she'd really love all of the old princess movies, but her favorites would be Sleeping Beauty and Mulan. I also think she'd love the Princess Diaries. And of course, any books that she loves that get turned into movies would be her favs by default, even if they aren't all that good!

Eden

Eden is a bit nerdy, so I definitely think he really likes the DCU and MCU a not-so-normal amount! He'd also love practically any movie based on a book series, although Harry Potter and Percy Jackson are at the very top of that particular list.

Aena

Legally Blonde and Mean Girls are her top 2 favorite movies of all time, hands down. I think she'd also love So Undercover, Herby Fully Loaded, and She's The Man - basically any early-2000's female-led popular movie. Of course, The Hunger Games is her favorite movie series of all time.

Alistaire

He probably doesn't watch movies much, but you cannot tell me that this man doesn't love a good Western. He'd also be a big fan of documentaries, just because they're interesting. I think he'd be disappointed in the Eragon movie so he wouldn't be a big fan of it, but he'd love the Twilight movies. He understands they're bad, they're just so entertaining!

Hi!

I’ve sent a few asks on anon, and i wanted to say that i really appreciate how diverse you’re making this if - like letting the mc be trans for example, seeing that you’d make that possible honestly made my day. I’m super excited for this game, the premise and the characters are awesome!!

Secondly, what majors will the mc be allowed to pursue?

Hope you have a nice day! Thanks!

Hiya! Thank you so much!!

Some of my closest friends and family members are trans, so it was really a no-brainer to add it as an option for Skyline Heights. I want this IF to be as immersive as physically possible, so making sure that it's diverse is one of my top goals.

I will say, coding for diversity has not been easy (and I'm still having troubles, so if anybody has any pointers, PLEASE dm me!!), but I do think it'll be worth it!

As for majors, right now I'm planning on using very broad terms. This way, instead of having 20+ more niche majors listed out for choice (such as Physical Therapy, Nursing, Medical Assistant, etc.) it'll be just one term that covers all of them (so all of those listed and more will be included as the Healthcare major). To me, this makes more sense from both a coding and story-telling standpoint.

How many of these broad-termed majors will I be using? As many as I can think of (:

It should be noted that majors that the RO's are pursuing (so Law for Aena or Psychology for Harlowe) won't be under any broad terms, they'll be their own options.

Hi can you tell us what site you used to make the characters, the ai one?

It took me a minute to find the ask where it was suggested, but you can find the link here!

Alistaire gives me vibes that he would watch a very dramatized historical documentary or movie with MC and point out everything wrong with it as it goes on. 3 hours and a PowerPoint later and you suddenly have all the answers for your history exam that week. Watching Hamilton and he pauses and goes “No, the Schuyler sisters actually did have brothers, I don’t know why Miranda would bother to leave it out.” MC has to explain it was a creative liberty and he grumbles “well that’s just bad writing then, details are so important.”

You are ABSOLUTELY correct. Despite being an English teacher, Alistaire is a HUGE history buff. For many reasons. Largely because he doesn't like inaccuracies.

My MC has a very specific goal. To edge Harlowe. Because for some reason my mc's tend to be brat coded. eh what can ya do.

SAME SAME SAME SAME

I fully intend to add in good bratty options bc it's a form of self care <3

Hello!! I hope you're doing well!

How would the ROs react if, during the crushing or relationship stage, a more artistic mc made something about their relationship? (ex: singer/musician mc making a love song about them)

I'm doing okay!! Worked 15 hours last night so currently fending off the headache I woke up with, rip </3 Hope you're doing well, too!!

Harlowe

Harlowe would be so ecstatic. He'd give MC a million kisses and probably tear up a little bit. It's something nobody has ever done for him, so I think he'd be super emotional about it. If it's art or writing of some kind, he'd put it somewhere in his bedroom so even when MC isn't there with him, he can wake up to see it and think of them every day. If it's a song or music of some kind, he'd beg them to record it so he can have it always playing on a loop.

Florence

Florence would cry happy tears immediately. She'd love it so much. If it's art, she's putting it in her living room. She'd probably press a kiss to it or just stop to look at it with a big grin on her face every time she walks by. If it's music, she'd beg MC to record it and post it to Soundcloud or YouTube or something so she can show it off to everyone. "My love made this for me, aren't they so talented?"

Eden

If it's art, it's going to become his new phone wallpaper. Even if it's not in picture format, he'd take a photo of it and use that. He'd gush over it and give MC a huge hug and a million kisses. If it's music, he's gonna want to have it as an mp3 file so he can listen to it whenever he wants. But he'd never share it with anyone - MC made this for him, he's not gonna want to share.

Aena

She'd be so enthusiastic and honored. I think she'd do something similar to Eden and make it her phone wallpaper. She'd probably print art on a jacket so she can carry MC's love with her anywhere she goes, or would make it an NFT or something and add it to her signature for her emails, provided that it's SFW. If MC makes her a song, it's getting set as her ringtone. She'd also clip a part of it that she really loves and use that as a notification tone.

Alistaire

If it's art, he's framing it and putting it on his desk in his office. At that point, he doesn't care if anybody sees it. MC made this for him. They took time out of their day to make him something so beautiful that he wants to see it every day at work. Teaching can be a frustrating job, so being able to look up and see the picture every day when he's laboring over grades or reading essays for hours on end. If it's some form of music, he's gonna be listening to it any time he needs some sort of positivity. Again, mainly when he's grading.
