What are you imagining? I drew a little horrible map yesterday and I refuse to look at it again lol, but it's definitely not like I'm just saying "Oh this city would be here in the real world" while pointing to a portion of your continent. I guess if I can say anything, I don't think that would be what we're after. I'm not sure if I mentioned this prior, but it's kinda like the shops and cities and stuff are more like those in SA than in NA, so that's why I say it's South American-y or whatever.

I do not know how to draw maps so I have to congratulate you for trying anyways xD
Yeah I know we're not going for geographical location. "In SA" is general anyways because it depends on what country you're in,,, well anyways it doesn't mean we can't try. At least I know what shops and supermarkets are like kinda. Some countries have Walmarts too (but not Peru).
Is what we talked about the city last time still accurate? I mean I want to know that I'm not forgetting a place or something

Normal is so perspective so I have no idea how to answer that question lol. Maybe? I mean, it's not a mansion, I'll say that. How many floors do you think it's got?

Sunny doesn't keep the Cringe Room locked. He actually doesn't lock most of the doors (except the front door and back door and side doors and whatever doors facing towards the outside. Duh.) (btw tell Lux to always remember to lock the doors, or Sunny gets a lil smidge angry (: ). It actually has a bit to do with his magecraft lol or at least the ideas for his magecraft that I had yesterday owo. Yay inspiration.
Lol there's little Lux's bed in the Cringe Room and she just. Sleeps there when she feels like it sometimes.

For going out to eat, lol where they go to eat (and how much money is used) is on Lux then, Sunny knows almost nothing about money management, not to mention restaurant quality or whatever.
Well ig I imagine they usually eat dinner together too on weekdays, but they almost never eat breakfast together because of schedule differences. And as for lunch, idk, I think maybe it depends (on weekends/break days) but it's not a "almost never" matter.
Lol someone at the restaurants thinks that Sunny's Sollux's boyfriend or someone.

Awww, did she do her homework next to him when she was younger?
Ig Sunny's an okay listener at least. Idk, I sure hope so. I like him being a bucket of peculiarity more than a bucket of peculiarity and salt (and sea salt, etc.)
Lol movies are just Lux staring at the screen and talking while Sunny just stares at her. Hence he never knows what movies were about. But movies need to be early, so she gotta finish HW quickly or else they'll be without electricity and they'll be watching television by candlelight
Sunny probably wants her to go to bed early, but he can only put up with so much counter-fight before he relents and lets her stay up a bit. But after midnight it's a non-negotiable issue, I'm guessing, for both of them.

Idk, maybe only a second floor? Or maybe just one floor but it has a basement. Idk lol.

If you mean locking the doors to the outside, then I think Lux would remember that. Probably from seeing Sunny angry before lol. 
👀 owo inspiration
Yeah it's likely xD. Idk it sounds cute lol.

I'm pretty confident that Sollux can ensure ok money management from her part. I don't know if she's more involved with finances than Sunny, but at least she doesn't spend too much by herself.
Agreed with that "schedule" for shared eating times btw. I think the same. Who cooks tho? Do they just take turns or is it random or does one of them cook most of the time?
Bruh lol "boyfriend",,, that reminded me that they probably don't look that much like siblings at first glance.

Yes she did uwu. She also probably tried to get some hw answers from him lol.
I guess Sunny must be used to hearing Sollux talk a lot xD. Even during movies lol (tbh maybe her friends don't like that detail much). She's the kinda person who talks during the movie but when someone else says something she's like "SHHHH" and talks again not long after that lol.
Oh yeah television by candlelight, a brilliant idea if she takes too long to finish her work.
That works. It depends on the day too. Ig sometimes she wants to go to bed early.

So he has a phone?
Sollux tries to dive in the most extravagant ways she can but just ends up splashing Sunny with water to get a reaction lol. Well I don't think she can dive that well, but she can swim pretty well.

Ok yeah that's really angsty lol.
I mean I guess it kinda depends. If she was involved in getting the catalyst then Sunny maybe at least told her something. The way I like to think is that he said something in vague terms about having to participate in a magic thing (that would automatically mean Lux shouldn't get involved) and they can travel together. Not that she'd understand completely and promise to follow instructions to 100%, but like she can at least act like that so she's allowed to come along.
You know, I think that with Sollux it's probably better to tell her things (mostly) straight because otherwise she gets annoying. How does Sunny deal with that lol especially because Ik you said he's not very communicative and there's things he doesn't tell.

Rental.
Bruh that's not nice.
He probably says that the catalyst is for his "job." That's how he explains magic most of the time, when he does point out what it's for.
I feel like the better situation would be for him to not deal with it and for her to be a lil more cooperative and mature and understanding and stuff.

Slightly off topic, but think we'll start off the AU's POVing with Sunny and Lux at the airport? Or will it be Sunny summoning, right away? This is actually pretty important lol and I was dumb for not asking this earlier.

If my headcanons are correct, she definitely is more involved in financing than Sunny.
For that question's answer, does she want to cook??

Read "hw" as "hot," I hate myself
So, hypocrite xD

Splish splash.
I think she'd be okay with that kind of explanation. Maybe asks for some more details now and then but tbh she probably leaves Sunny be most of the time.
Ah yes if only she were like that lol. Maybe she'll mature in time :3. I hope she does lol.

I feel the need to say that I did not come up with the "SA-like" idea so I could pawn setting narration on you. If that is what it seemed like, that was not my intention.
You think I can remember what we talked about last time, especially for something as specific as that? I can't. Lol. But if you describe it, I can probably try to match up what I have atm with what you have.

That didn't really cross my mind lol but anyways wouldn't setting narration be on both of us?
The general idea I have for the city is actually really general. Mostly I just remember a lake thingy. And there's a park near it (in my mind). Then, I can't describe the idea I have of the streets because I just don't know lol.

I don't know if exactly at the airport, but I thought it would be nice to have some previous narration. I mean, the summon is cool and all, but like wouldn't it add more to narration/setting if we do at least a bit of roleplaying first? Now, where to start would be a good question. What would be the starting situation? If they're at the airport, do they part ways, do they go to a hotel or something, or does something else happen? Does Sunny want to summon right after arriving?

Lol ok she'll have a role in finances then.
She's not that great in the kitchen, so if there's an opportunity for someone else to cook instead of her, then she'll take that. But she'd cook if she had to.

Hotwork
Basically xD

​Rip her if two of her friends are identical twins who act in just about the exact same way (I totally don't have two of those (: ).
GGaD!Sunny just said, "No wonder she does, she looks like it after all" and idk I'm just kinda wheezing but also,,, yeah.

You only "kinda" agree? Voice your objections.

What a unique situation xD interesting. I don't think it's the case this time tho.
How do you look like you like popcorn xD or does he mean something else xD

Let me change that to "mostly agree". I don't really know what my objections are, tbh, but I can't say that I have a strong disagreement either. I dunno how to specify, sorry.
And apologies for the delay in the reply.

As for the two Meeps' magic, I need you to come up with your ideas on what you imagine Lux's magecraft to be like (at her current level and theoretically) because I am having troubles making my ideas practical. So a combination or a choice scenario for me would be nice. Feel free to just jot down ideas for this whenever, as long as you kinda bring up the subject ig.

-Galaxian-

Oops lol I sent too early give me a bit and I'll finish replying.
Also please excuse typos lol I'm on mobile and the backspace part does not work well

Ah I forgot to commwnt about the city name
I can try to think up something. Do we want something that sounds foreign? In Spanish maybe? Maybe we can name it after a feature (lol we don't know the map that well tho) or something around the area. I forgot, but it isn't a seaside city, no?

The reason for the flight being missed was that Sunny returned too late. He's a bit miffed about it for some reason so don't tell him I said that lol. Also maybe some things were not packed lol and then he had to go get them. He's not the best at doing things efficiently.
Sure, 1:30 A.M. it is. I actually didn't think about time lol. Anyways, by the time they arrive at the hotel, it's much later, though, I think. At least 3 A.M. Lol is Lux happy she gets to stay up this late

Lux is allowed to help him set up his place (if she demonstrates that she understands the dangers and stuff, as mentioned before), but he's getting up real early to do that. Can she get up? Is she an early bird? Lol. 
She is not allowed to watch the summoning. Sunny knows the risks involved. It's like giving her permission to stroll in a construction zone. At least, that's how it is to him, lol.
Ig Sunny can go back to cooking after he gets a little more used to having a Servant and all that.
Definitely not an exact copy. They even seem to have different elemental affinities. Probably depends on the type of magic, though, and thus, then their individual interpretations.

Well, we're making progress on planning for Caster's Master, which is good thing, yes? But I wonder, will we just start off the AU and then worry about planning for Assassin's thread in the meantime, or are you more comfortable having the first two intro threads (3 threads in general ig) planned?
Lol realized that school is coming up for me soon, which is an inspiration killer and also productivity killer (not that I have been very productive in the first place) oof

It actually is important though, lol.
I don't know if it's a seaside city. But those tend to attract a lot of tourists, now that I think about it. I don't think it was an industrial tourist place, though. Maybe in the past it was at one point, but I doubt humans' ability to do industry without destroying the environment around them. Anyhow, in general, we agreed that it was a tourism place already.

-Galaxian-

Yep!
I think it'd be better if we at least plan some things for Assassin's thread. We don't have to lay out everything immediately (I mean time will pass while we roleplay the first thread{s} anyways) but I think it's good to have an idea of what we'll continue with.
Ah rip,,, when does school begin for you?

Well true lol the environment in the area must be protected.
I'm really not sure about making the city being next to the sea or not. If it's more oriented towards tourism though it probably wouldn't have an industrial kind of port. Maybe it doesn't have a big one either.

So what are the "some things" you have in mind that must be planned? I know this is technically getting ahead of myself, but I like to define things that way.
I don't know when it begins, but I'm guessing around August 20th? Rn I can't even check in because my school isn't responding to my emails so yeah.

Here's a different take on it. What weather would you want for the characters to go through? Seaside places are definitely very different from landlocked places, and different from islands too. I guess we should define the season first, though, so we can compare differences between those types of places listed above.

I don't have anything specific in mind lol rip. Instead, I thought it sounded like you were thinking about something xD. Well uh what do you think we'd have to plan? I feel like there must be some things, even though atm I don't really know what they are.
Aw darn. I'd say that we should make the most out of the time left before your return to school, but how to do that xD

Ok so about the season, if we go by that mention of Sollux's upcoming birthday, it's probably the first half of the year. In terms of weather I think I prefer mild weather and cloudy skies? Maybe randomly throw in a clear night sky or a rainy day. Imo when the skies are cloudy most of the time it makes days with sunshine really special.
Oh well I'm not sure by what hemisphere's season pattern we're going lol I'm automatically going with what I'm used to and kinda thinking it's probably autumn?

Now that you say that, I think too that planning for that thread can wait for later.

Latter part of July iirc. I'm pretty sure I saved the date somewhere but rn I don't remember where lol.
Yeah, and cloudy skies don't always mean rain. Even then I think my mental image is leaning more towards a persistent light drizzle than actual pouring rain. Anyways, tourists there might be less than in other seasons maybe? What season are you thinking about btw?
No lol that's the kind of autumn I'm used to. It's really similar to spring tbh so yeah too.

I'm not agreeing "just because" you said it, but because you put out a point I think is good and agree with. The reason I sugested planning was bevause at the time of my post I thought there would be things (I hadn't thought of any really) that we might have to discuss. When you posted, I realized that the threads are not directly related and that we'll have enough time to talk about it when the moment comes.

Okay, but do you mean we should consider it as a pro or a con? I understand it as an "it might not be such a good idea to do the setting in spring" but I don't lnow if that's wjat you mean.

Oh okay, yeah I get it. What made me unsure was the mention of the animals, cause I felt maybe you didn't want to disturb the animals in the area with possible battles there. That was p much what threw me off because I understand the rest of the reasoning.
Ok then, so, spring it is.
