Additionally, here are some quick resources and notes: • Guide to Retrospec, courtesy of Mrs. Elda Marker • Yumenosaki Academy is a performing arts school with a major focus on producing idols, a subsection of the Japanese entertainment industry that's very popular with men and women alike. The school puts a lot of importance on participation, and the Dream Festival (DreamFes) system is there to help encourage that. It's located by the sea and by mountains on either side, with a city not too far from it. • In Dream Festivals, units either go against each other or they work together. The winners are decided by spectators. Different rankings correlate with the importance, exclusivity, funding, difficulty, and level of rewards received from participating. In order from highest to lowest: ○ SS - The highest ranking DreamFes. These involve schools aside from Yumenosaki Academy too, and are held very rarely throughout the year. The hardest, but most rewarding, and exceptionally exclusive. ○ S1 - Campus-restricted, large scale DreamFes. They're open to the public, but require tickets to be bought beforehand. Only teachers and those of the producer class can submit requests for these. ○ S2 - Campus-restricted, large scale Dreamfes. They're also open to the public, but don't require tickets to be bought. Only teachers and those of the producer class can submit requests for these. ○ S3 - Campus-restricted, large scale DreamFes. It can be held freely and as many times as possible, and only require a unit leader or someone from the producer class to submit a request for it and have it pass through a teacher or the Student Council successfully. ○ A1 - Considered "rookie-level battles," these are low-level DreamFes that count towards student grades. These are usually requested by teachers or those of the producer class as well. v○ B1 - Unofficial DreamFes that can be held by anyone, anytime, anywhere. They're unapproved by the Academy, but the Student Council still oversees them somewhat... ○ DDD - A special competition that was held at the beginning of the year to decide who would participate in the SS-level Lives that occur during the rest of the year. Campus-restricted, but open to the public without any restriction at all. • There are also other opportunities to practice skills that don't count towards your participation grade or grades in general, such as at school festivals and competitions concerning your clubs.
Known Units & Clubs: • TBA
More will be added as information comes up, including examples of each ranking! Thank you for reading, and let's do our best to get along. We're all in this together, for better or for worse... (Old members, please go ahead and introduce yourselves too! So that new people, when they join, will have some idea of who all's in here.)
it's a little exciting to think we might have new members in our chat sometime soon, isn't it? ★ i'd like to see it! i saw someone from my memories as a 'projected example' last month, so it could happen...
anyway, introductions. i'm nazuna nito! almost everyone calls me nii-chan ♪ i'm a kindergarten teacher at recolle elementary, and i also help with re:VA and a few other things around town. if you need any help with anything, you can always rely on me! (｡•̀ᴗ-)✧
in yumenosaki, my name was nazuna nito too. i was a third year as far as i can tell, and a member of the units "valkyrie" and "ra*bits". i think i was in the tennis club! and the broadcasting club!
since everyone else added people they knew, i have a few people that i knew as well that aren't on the app, or even here as far as i know. 'valkyrie' consisted of shu itsuki and mika kagehira. i'm not really sure about ra*bits, at least not yet, but i have a picture of all of them if anyone wants to see it. one of them was mitsuru, and he looked pretty young.
i also knew a wataru (some kind of magician), a kaoru (who i think may also be a third year), and aside from people in the chat, i think that's it! let's all get along together ♪
It's Suzu Kiryu. I'm not sure if I should be surprised to see so many familiar faces here or not. I'm a junior at Rec U, nursing major. I'm gonna start interning at the hospital in a few weeks. Kuro's my brother.
My past self's name is Suzu Kuromori, no matter how many times she denies it. "I'm" not directly related to Yumenosaki Academy or an idol. Even if my past self was in a band with the Light Music Club and performed in gigs and stuff, she's not an idol. It looks like I'm from a neighboring all-girls' high school called Kimisaki Academy.
I won't bother going into more details; it's not really relevant to you guys, so it's probably not interesting, and typing so much is a pain... And we're not sure when the internet will go sentient again and use any information against us.
But the reason I and some other guys think my past self are from the same world and city a everyone here is because I have memories of the following:
- Ruka Tsukinaga - Valkyrie - Mika Kagehira - "Oshi-san" (vaguely, all I remember is him scowling or sewing in a corner) - Anzu
The last one is kinda interesting... I remember being classmates with her, but apparently she transferred to your school at some point?
Anyway, I was invited here by Nazunii
I mean Nazuna
I'm not really sure if I should be here tbh. If not, I can like
You went to school with Oneesama? Uwoah ♪ And you knew Leonii's past life little sister, too... He told me a little about her.
[ ... ]
As the mod of this chat, I say it's fine for you to be in here. You have relevant people in your memories and all, and it's nice to have someone like Suzunee around...
Haha Thanks, Tsuka☆ Now that your Suzunee is here, The beast known as Ai-chan I mean Miai Can be reigned in more effectively~☆
[False.]
Anyway Angie and Kuromori were best friends, it looks like Ah, "Angie" is what I call Anzu, apparently What a coincidence, though I'm your neesan here, and Angie was Suou's Oneesama I don't know why, but that makes me really happy☆
suzu, of course you're welcome! i don't think anyone will say otherwise! and if they did, they'd have to take it up with niichan (ง •̀_•́)ง i didn't realize you knew 'oshi-san' too.
owah, niichan so cool!!! But anyway I don't actually KNOW know that guy I just know OF him Mika was always going "Oshi-san Oshi-san!" all the time Even though they were at that underground live house my club usually played at often That guy never said anything to anyone once;; He just stayed away in some corner sewing something when he wasn't performing
Fufu, the oujisama of this chat has decided to give his introduction...♪
Um, more seriously I'm Tsukasa Suzakura! I'm currently a senior at Recollé High, and I'm president of the Art Club! Co-president, actually. I'm best at watercolors... My parents both work at the university—Mom is an Asian Literature professor with a focus in Japanese in particular, and Dad is for Asian History—and I'm sorry if you've had them, since they're really strict teachers. I was homeschooled before this past January, so I'm really good at studying, and I even tutor university students sometimes, so... If you need any help, you can ask me. I'm an all-rounder.
My memories are... Uh, Tsukasa Suou there. Suou and Suzakura are read the same, incidentally. 朱桜! He's part of the unit "Knights," and he's a first year at Yumenosaki... Part of the Archery Club... Oh, and please don't be alarmed if anything with "Suou" shows up in the city. They're sort of Really wealthy? And sometimes Retrospec likes to capitalize on that. Thank you. I'm looking forward to getting along with everyone ♪
Oujisama, oujisama, thank you so much for your benevolence in setting up chat ♪ I look forward to serving you diligently, my lord... ♪
Also, your parents almost failed me once I think I think I took the literature class? It seemed as if they forgot to swap out their master's curriculum for their bachelor's If they homeschooled you in the same manner, are you sure you shouldn't be applying for a PhD already, young prince?
Oh, no, that was their bachelor's curriculum. Their master's is a lot harder. I've looked over it and helped grade some papers for it before when they asked... Anyway, I shouldn't be! I haven't done enough schooling and I'm definitely not learned enough for it. Even with my parents' teaching style...
I'm Miai Garyuu. I'm studying animal biology at Recolle University, and the labs are both excessive and terrible. For unrelated reasons, I'm thinking of switching to a performing field. In the past, I performed with a traveling circus, so I've been all around. I worked primarily as a lion tamer— please do ask to see pictures of my kitty, Alexander ♪
In Yumenosaki, it seems my past self was known as Eichi Tenshouin, and on occasion "Emperor." He was the student council president, though I don't know if that's where he earned this title.
Though I'm not certain of the unit's name, it seems he was in a unit with a Tori, Yuzuru, and Wataru. He was also in the tea club with past Ritsu and someone known as Hajime.
It seems his unit was, at some point, qualified to represent Yumenosaki in the SS, but he chose to allow other units to contest this position.
While I don't entirely understand him, what best I can get is that he seemed to truly love being an idol.
If you have questions in regards to memories regarding him or referencing him, you're free to contact me through PM or text message.
I myself can get a little bit out of hand, but simply because I'm excited to talk to everyone here. I look forward to becoming good friends with everyone ♪
Ah, you told me about the Wataru you know, I remember. You called him a magician. As for your coworker... I met him, actually; he's the one who teaches drama, I think? I hadn't thought about it, but it's possible.
( "hadn't thought about it" hah )
It's interesting how so many of us seem to be interconnected in this world, if that's true.
i'm kuro kiryu. i think i'm the oldest at 24? i'm suzu's older brother, and a karate instructor at utsuki dojo. i teach beginner youth on tuesdays and thursdays, but we've been meanin to get together somethin for those of us in the chat to try out learnin more self defense, since retrospec is always throwin bad situations at us. if anybody's interested, i guess this is the check for it? i do competitions sometimes. haven't been to one in a couple of months now, but i usually place pretty high, trophies and all.
at yumenosaki i was in akatsuki? my memories are pretty hit or miss of everythin, if i'm gonna be honest, and don't have a lot of rhyme or reason. but i apparently made a lot of the outfits for the different units of the school - it's a skill i got here, too, though it was random and caught me off guard. if you need somethin made, tailored, or repaired, i can do it pretty quickly.
i knew keito hasumi - also in akatsuki - and koga oogami. i think also shu itsuki? i recently got a memory with him from when we were kids, and nazuna's got a picture of him, so i recognized him. i also apparently knew hinata aoi, but i didn't get any memories of him when he was still on retrospec before.
[ Wow he actually used punctuation. ]
Edited (I swear I'm done editing) 2018-10-04 00:24 (UTC)
Ah! So you know Oshi-san too, Kuronii? To be honest, I still think it's pretty crazy that our past selves lived in the same city We could have passed by each other multiple times and never knew it♪
