Hiii!!! <333 Super excited to be here. I’m just going to leave an idea dump for your perusal ;D

- In the past two cabins I’ve been in, a brainstorming Canva has been really helpful for creating thumbnails together and compiling an aesthetic!
- From the basic description of your storyline, I think a range of green palette with some yellow accents might be nice.
- Moonlit has a really cool spreadsheet for word counts that makes adding words really easy to keep track of and input in a studio description! She’s offered to send me a blank one for future cabins I’m in, so that’s an option for word counting if you’d like to use it. I should probably ask her before showing you last session’s as an example, but I’m sure she’d be fine with it. (If you had a separate plan for word counting that’s great! Just putting this out there <3)
- So, since our storyline is centered around an outbreak, it might be fun for one of the cos to catch the sickness near the end of the session to “raise the stakes.” (I would gladly volunteer xDDD)
- For pfps, I’d be happy to make them, but if the other co or you really want to that’s also fine

Andddd I think that’s all I have atm, but I’m sure the ideas will start flowing again soon xD

Alright, let's go!

- I'm already planning on brainstorming canva- I'll be sending that shortly, probably once I have both cos so I can confirm that both have accounts that don't use their real names for privacy's sake ^^

- I love the idea of a green pallete (and maybe a blue or a white because I generally associate those with a lab)

- I may have to figure out something different for word counts because I don't have an swc google account at the moment, but I'm looking into getting one soon, so I'll keep everyone posted on that. The tentative plan is to just add straight into the desc. (with rotations so everyone gets a chance), but that may change depending on the account thingy

- That was the plan! I planned on the three of us all catching at some point, starting with one person and working our way up to all three. I may look into campers getting infected or maybe some of the other leaders - just tell me if this seems like something you'd be interested in <3

- For PFPs, that would be fantastic! Let's wait and see if the other co has any interest, but if you'd like to be the tentative plan for that right now, that would be WONDERFUL <3

Welcome to the team, Snowy!

Aaa, hi!
- I have a Canva account that doesn't use my real name, so we should be all good on that account. I definitely think the green with perhaps an icy or surgical blue could work as a color scheme.
- As for profile pictures…Well, I cannot art, so Summer, you are free to make them! Poetry's last session were so cool-
- Ooh, I love the idea of other leaders getting infected! Perhaps we could ask sibling cabin leaders for volunteers?

- yay!! I’ll get that canva set up after school (so it’ll be a bit since I’m waiting in 1st period right now)

- Then that’s that! I can’t art either XD (and agreed! Poetry’s pfps were stunning last session <3)

- Ooh, great idea, Snowy. We can start looking at cabin relations soon. It’s super early on and people are still picking co leaders, so there’s definitely no expectation to pick our relations right now, but if you guys have any strong feelings (either now or later) about siblings, enemies, allies, etc. just let me know ^^

Welcome Snowy! This leader combination is amazing B)

- I’ve got the canva! <3
- Got it! I’ll start thinking about pfp designs then.
- As for color palette, I’ll stick some ideas in the canva soon.
- I love the idea of infecting other leaders! My first thought though was “what if we infected an enemy do we actually have to save them or can they just d1e” xDDD (this is just my odd mind I’m not quite serious)
- About the wcgs, if we’re not doing a spreadsheet (where we can all add at once), maybe it would be best to each have a separate wcg. That way if someone’s goes inactive for a little while it doesn’t back up the entire cabin’s word counts. This is your choice though!

3 wcgs is great! Your thoughts Snowy?

Also, Moss has asked if we’d like to be allies with gothic. I’m assuming that’s a yes from all of you? Just double checking <3

Yep, I don’t mind being allies with gothic!

Hehehe I just realized that if we have separate wcgs I can still use the spreadsheet to my heart’s content >:D /lh

I'm good with three WCGs! As for allies, sure, I'd love to ally with Gothic!

Yay for spreadsheets! XD

Alright! For WCGs, let's preferably get those created in the next couple of days (before June at the very least) so that we have those ready to go for thumbnail creation, sorting, etc.

If you couldn't tell by the invite, I've got the sci-fi cabin created! I'll get that desc. drafted soon (and we'll start talking storyline so we can help write those lovely little intros), but that will probably be later (when I don't have exams ^^').

Snowy, I didn't see you on the Canva. If you get the chance to hop on there and maybe make one or two small edits (like a sentence or a graphic), just so that we're sure everything is working so we can all edit ^^

And finally in this long list of updates, I finally (finally) figured out my vacation plans for the month. I'll be away from my computer from June 2nd to either the 6th or the 7th (depending on travel). I'll still have my phone, but I'm not sure how well the wifi/power lines work in the airbnb I'll be in. Just know that I won't be as consistently active throughout the day as I've been the last few, and I likely won't be able to access the canva those days (unless I can get canva unblocked on my phone, fingers crossed) ^^

And that's about it! Great job on day one, you guys <3 I think it's safe to say we've got the best team ever right here B)

edit: one last thing!! ^^' If either of you have any cabins you'd like to be allies/enemies with, just go ahead and say it ^^ I've got a couple in mind (I'd love to talk to Fantasy and Bi-Fi about potential alliences), so don't be shy if you have any ideas <33

One more thing! Mystery (CJ) would like to be allies. Thoughts?

Also! Any ideas for enemies? ^^

Asdfghjkl one last thing. Thoughts for siblings? I think it’d be fun to find a couple cabins to group with (since I’ve always loved sibling hangout studios). Let me know if you object or if we should start seeking out people <3

Oh, it seems like I forgot to check the Canva earlier- Anyway, I just bookmarked it, etc. and am deleting the comment now!

As for my own travel dates, I'll be pretty much inactive from June 4th to about June 20th, but I'll try to check in at least once or twice a day as well.

On the subject of cabin relationships, I'm good with all of this! I would definitely like to be enemies/hostile neutrals with Recca's cabin, whichever it might end up being.

Ok! I’ll check the Canva in a bit and then we can get to work on thumbs, aesthetics, etc

I just found out that I’ll actually be gone a couple days longer than that (I swear they never tell me the right dates). That sounds alright, Snowy! Have fun ^^

Enemies/neutrals with Recca sounds good! I’ll get on that in a bit once I’m not on mobile :>

(Oop- just realized Recca hasn't accepted an offer… then I really will get on that later XD)

Scheduling Reference Post

(Just taking note on when we're inactive for scheduling sake- if you guys need to add things as time goes on, just let me know ^^)

May 27th-31st ~ Poppy to church camp, semi-active

June 3rd-20th ~ Snowy, semi-active

June 2nd-12th ~ Poppy on family vacation, dependent on WiFi circumstances

June 19th-21st ~ Poppy helping siblings to college, active though busy

July 1st-5th ~ Summer to camp, inactive

July 15th-19th ~ Poppy to writing camp, semi-active

July 19th-31st ~ Summer traveling, semi-active

And once again I come to you three with Bi-Fi offering alliance. I’m assuming it’s a yes for both them and mystery?

Yep! I'm pretty much good with any alliances or enemies you want to have

I know Summer just said we’re good with whatever, but we just hit a situation. Horror has asked if we want to be a sibling trio with dystopian. However, we did ask to be enemies with dystopian (Recca’s cabin). Thoughts? We could be enemies with a sibling I suppose, or we could go find other enemies. Given that this was Snowy’s idea, I’d love to hear your input ^^

I’m ok being allied or enemy siblings. (Fantasy did the same thing in November and it was fun xD) So, up to Snowy!

We’d probably still be allied siblings with Horror, though.

I believe we need to pick an atmosphere blurb and symbol. Any ideas?

I know sci-fi used the biohazard symbol last session, but it does make sense for us (we don’t have to use it though)
