This is the official Lounge post for players who want to plan out specific Dayshift threads ahead of time in order to foster desired kinds of interaction and character development. Allow us to stress that SCHEDULING THREADS IS COMPLETELY OPTIONAL, and while there is no limit on the amount of threads you can schedule, we strongly encourage you to take care in how many threads you schedule and try to keep yourself open for random interaction when possible.

Please use the following template when commenting. We suggest bolding important points so that people who are scanning the post can get a quick idea of what you're looking for. You might also want to use the usernames of the characters whose attention you want so that people can easily ctrl+F to find things relevant to their interests. Your request can range from as vague as "I want my character to make new friends!" to as specific as "I want my character to thread with a megalomaniacal antagonist during lunch, if possible."

You might want to refer to the schedule to know how to plan threads! Also, there will be some changes in the shift activities. Instead of a lunch shift, the third shift will be spent as a free choice shift with bag lunches of snacks given out.

Also, here is the rough schedule for what days each shift will fall on. We provide this as incentive for each player to think about how busy they'll be during the different shifts so that they can properly plan out when they can post their characters out. Keep in mind that some of these dates might shift slightly if extensions become necessary.

1st shift = July 19th through July 22nd
2nd shift = July 23rd through July 26th
3rd shift = July 27th through July 30th
4th shift = July 31st through August 3rd
5th shift = August 4th through August 6th

SUBJECT LINE: character name(s)

Name:
Posting Speed: (give a rough idea! fast = roughly 2+ posts per day per character; medium = roughly 1 post per day per character; slow = 1 post every 2 or 3 days (consistently). if your speed varies, say so and explain how if possible.)
Notes: Anything a potential thread partner might need to know, from which days of the week you're fastest on to how many shifts you are planning to schedule (if you want to limit it, say so) to upcoming things that might make you busy at a certain (exam week, trips, etc.)

Character:
Interaction/Development Wanted: (what kind of plotting/interaction you're looking for, any specific characters you're already going to be threading with, characters you'd like to thread with, etc.)
When: (be as specific or un-specific as you want)

Hey everyone!

We're a bit late putting up the plot post, and we still have a few details to work out with some players, so we're extending Nightshift by two more days. This should give everyone enough time to get some of their Dayshift plans in order, among other things. Dayshift will now begin on July 19th.

Thanks for your patience!

I've been putting this off, but four characters is a lot, and I'd rather keep up with three well than four badly. So Rose Lalonde is heading home. She's just not going to be around at breakfast -- she's already died horribly once at the Institute.

First dibs on her stuff goes to Ilia -- all she had was a pair of X-Acto knives, a set of plastic knitting needles, and a green scarf.
