I didn't even feel it as awkward lol but oh well hehe
Yeah I don't think we even talked about the schedule. In any case the most important thing would be to figure out the order of our teachers' classes rather than constructing a while daily schedule for everything in HPA.
I remember someone mentioned that homeroom comes last in JP? Is this AU even taking place in Japan lol, and even if it were couldn't we like just make up our own schedule as we see fit

Iirc it takes place in Japan? Although, like you mentioned, we could literally change anything XD

That's because I'm the one with the reason for it to feel awkward.
Let's make it on Mars so I can throw Wiley to Deimos

We all make it awkward smh don't take all the credit GalaxE XD
Apollo would be thrilled to be on Mars

No, seriously, this time it's only on my end. Unless you happen to have a reason that I am not aware of

¯\_(ツ)_/¯ idk tbh, I was trying to be reassuring XD I have Failed

I don't feel awkward at all (about this specific thing at least) so don't count me in xD
For all i care the AU could be on Mars but I've already headcanoned for a setting on earth? Let's just work with earth.

XD Okay
I like the idea of Japan since the original story is set in Japan, but I also know very little about Japan so XD whatever works for y'all, I'll follow
Offline
I don't really care as long as it works out somehow.

This feels like we're all pointing guns at each other and being like "SOMEONE HERE MAKE A CHOICE" while all refusing to make a decision
Offline
I guess I could do my thing where I disregard others' opinions, make a choice, make bad reasoning for that choice, and expect others to follow, but I don't really have a reason to do that at the moment.
It really doesn't matter too much in the grand scheme of things, since usually there is very little reasoning as to why stories are situated in Japan (at least when it comes to anime?). Or perhaps Danganronpa reasoned for that? I can't even tell if all the students are Japanese or not in it.

It doesn't really, which is something I wonder about. Adding to that, all the students except one foreign exchange girl are Japanese, so...
In my headcanons related to DR I always like to include characters that are from all over the world instead of just being Japanese. Danganronpa doesn't have that much in worldbuilding anyways so there's a bunch of things we could edit.
To sort of keep to the canon though I reaaaally suggest we don't migrate the AU location to another planet.
The question is, do we need to specify stuff about the location of this? Perhaps we're better off with a vague place and we can make up the schedule. After all, Hope's Peak Academy is known for being a school different from others, so its schedule and working would definitely stand out in whatever country it's in.

So then, the (apparently Japanese) people in Danganronpa remind me of how CYXY3000H does the thing where everyone looks a little different but their ethnicities can't be pinpointed any more because people of different countries had so many children together that everyone's a little mixed.
The Mars thing was a joke, by the way. I know that I sound extremely deadpan at the moment, but it was a horrible attempt at humor on my part. Clearly, the location should be Jupiter instead, so that everyone can be floating inside an incredibly big cloud of gas while speaking without the need for oxygen and solid ground.
I think that the country is the least we could come up with, and perhaps some nearby landmarks can be decided so we know where students might live and what they do outside of school. Otherwise, it can mostly be left open, I believe.

We should add a very big park, I like parks
Offline
If you want a park then there's a park, though I think there's more than just one park
I'd like to think about the area as being a setting suitable for roleplaying, kinda like how we can do canon GGaD threads anywhere or make up a location and it works.
Offline
MULTIPLE PARKS??? OWO
Offline
Yeah, the setting reminds me of CC. Things kinda just are there conveniently because students have money
Back to the main topic, so this is in Japan? Or?
I know Japan has a good number of national parks, but iirc Danganronpa had an island setting outside of Japan?? If that makes sense (so essentially it's free reign again lol)

I mean, citiiies normally have multiple parks, no?
I'd be all up for the setting being in Japan, but I'm probably the one who knows the least about Japanese culture out of all of us. An idea, would you guys mind if we made the setting "not so Japanese" despite the lotion being in Japan?
To clarify about Danganronpa, the games' settings are specifically for the Killing Game part so it would give scenarios for each part of the story. I believe you're talking about Jabberwock Island which is a setting for SDR2, but in the story it's supposed to be something like a field trip place and nothing school-like happens there. The actual Hope's Peak Academy (the setting for the first game and the original Killing Game) was indeed located in Japan, but I don't think it's ever specified in which part of the country. Iirc it's the only game setting that had that school vibe. It was a school after all lol.

What brand of lotion is it? Please don't tell me you accidentally swallowed that too

I dunno, I've grown up in a suburban setting, where the number of parks corresponds to the amount of funding received in a given area. If anything, you're the one most qualified to define that out of the three of us lol (from what I remember in APUSH, the parks added in New York were basically a desperate measure towards the negative effects of urbanization, if that means anything)
I feel like all of us are pretty clueless regarding Japanese culture, so don't worry.
As for what you said about setting, I wouldn't mind, though there is no way I won't poke fun of the discrepancies occasionally
And thanks for the clarification. Got it now, until I inevitably forget 2 weeks later and ask again

Indeed I do.
I'd reply with another funny line but I've forgotten what I wanted to say, so can we get back on track to the main topic now? XD
Offline
I personally live in a very small town that has basically nothing /almost everything interesting was shut down before I was born or shut down while I was growing up so XD we have one park and tbh that's surprising at this point. We have a lot of corn/bean fields and train tracks tho
So I also don't mind Spec's idea for the setting XD
OH also a few days ago I saw a bunch of baby cows!!!! They were orange and white and I nearly cried, they were so cute qhdjqkkf
Offline
I'm a child of the city, but I guess it's peruvian cities and not american cities I'm used to XD
So, are you guys okay with going with my setting idea? I personally don't mind the occasional joke from Galaxian.
Baby cows!
