I mean... it would be nice for it to occasionally just be (character) and Ava... And it's also not like I'm planning, y'know... rank up with her the same way you did and it be just her all the time.

That's not what I mean. I mean, would all of Ava's afternoon and/or evening "actions" be entirely consumed by spending time with Natty? Or could Lyon still call her up and say "hey, I want to spend time with you".
I'm trying to understand how the mechanics work. Because mechanics have a tendency to ruin RP.

Oh. I think that answers my question. If you're only going to Rank 4, aren't going to blitzkrieg ranks with her like I did, and are okay with Natty having Ava to herself only occasionally(Which is how that happens IRL anyway), then I don't have anything I'm worried about. I just didn't want for Lyon to call her for an entire week and have her always be like "Sorry, spending time with Natty again, no time for you cause MECHANICS"! |

Ally Scan: Julia scans an ally, sacrificing her action to give a second action to another character during the turn.
Shield Beacon: Julia shoots a sticky beacon on an ally, giving him a bubble shield for one turn. (In other words, makes an ally invincible for one turn) Julia cannot use it on herself. The targeted ally cannot intercept attacks while active.

I'm trying to understand how the mechanics work. Because mechanics have a tendency to ruin RP. Some structure is necessary and helpful. Neo, couples aren't connected at the hip. Hang out with some other characters sometime. Please. There's like 20, plus the PCs. Not counting people you bumped into with Ava, you've seriously not interacted with any of the others except I think once, and you barely introduced yourself. You already broke your promise to talk to Mattea first.  |

*points to last post*
True, couples aren't connected at the hip. But a young couple who's just started to be a couple, and are learning about themselves and exploring their relationship for the first time, would naturally spend much more time together.
For example, if a couple of newlyweds are on their honeymoon, they're going to spend most of their time with each other. Not making brand new friends and prioritizing said brand new friends. That's realistic, and that's life.

Unrelated to last post. I have no idea who Avel and Mattea are, but we need someone to interact with them. They only have their starting skills.

The archer and the red-head.
I plan to rank up with them both a bit. But I haven't had much luck bumping into them.

Avalon's Rank 9 is locked until you progress the story further.
No, but seriously.
That doesn't mean you can't spend time with her though. But I'd suggest spending time with her while doing something like Somnis and Lisa do. For example, practice singing, study together, cuddle. All those things will raise your stats and count as spending time with Avalon. But it's not good to be clingy either. NPCs can break up with you if you aren't treating your relationship right. Oh, and keep an eye out for special events like birthdays and holidays. Those are special and good chances to get special items and stuff.
Basically, treat them like you would people. Also, I personally find it easier to spend time with multiple people if you plan on maxing them. It's easier to max multiple people in the last few days than it is to try and rush one or two people in the last few days. So I suggest everyone get on that. Especially considering some of you need new skills.

When it comes down to it, this isn't a video game. It's a RP. If I want to play a video game, I'll go play actual Persona. I participate in RPs because I enjoy writing for a character and stepping into their shoes, the same way I would a role in a play or a movie. Basic structure is needed, yes, but heavy mechanics can often lead to a RP's inevitable downfall. There has to be a proper balance. I will only interact with characters in the RP if Lyon has a good enough in-character reason to interact with them.
Anyway, that's my piece. I don't want this to devolve into an argument. In short, as long as I can still have Lyon spend time with Ava, I have no issue with letting Natty spend time with her too.

That's not really a mechanics problem so much as they're some of the newest NPCs and noone's showed a ton of interest in them. |

This right here is a perfect example of why I have a huge problem with mechanics in RPs. I set it up like that on purpose, Neo. It encourages knowing the characters. It sucks when nobody bothers with any of your characters even though you've put a lot in them. Then you get Lost Kingdom syndrome where you have characters like Gray and Rumbles and everyone's like "Who?" but then everyone knows Ashley or Yura. |

Especially considering some of you need new skills. I'm guessing that either means all Rank 9 relationships are locked until a certain point, or Avalon has specific story relevance. Eh. That's fine. My only concern is that it's going to take an extraordinary amount of time for the story to reach that point. All of that is common sense Misty, and you don't have to explain to me. But I do worry now that you and I have a different understanding of what "clingy" means. |

Mine's already in Status, Morning Call is the only skill Robbie's learned since the start of the game. i could have sworn you formed a bond with Fox or Lance or Meta I did, that's where I got Morning Call from. |
