This is the first scene of the episode basically, and there'll be more scenes until the episode ends. So I do want to make sure that you're all voting knowing that we're starting off the episode with everybody getting involved with Nana crashing into the beach from second one lol.

Yeah, this is fine. I'm envisioning the episode initially focusing on Ratri and Moropóro running around getting things ready for the Astronomy Club to adopt a baby (hedgehog) while Iridian recovers and processes the horrors of trust(?) and affection(???). Iridian hasn't changed into a human form yet, after all. Her first on-screen transformation can happen in a later scene. Ideally around the climax.

Can't wait to see our girls first interact! And I hope to see how these face cards will affect this scene…

I'm gonna be a contrarian here, and say we should ease the audience into things a bit more. It does make sense to introduce all three main characters in the first episode, but I feel like throwing them all in right off the bat is a bit much? (At least speaking from my own preferences from reading various yuri manga, and some that fumbled their early chapters for me were ones that threw out too many characters all at once. In fairness three is nowhere near as bad as like, nine new names in one scene, but still.)

So we start with just Ratri meeting Iridian, then have a seperate scene dedicated to introducing Moropóro and her dynamic with Ratri, then forming an initial bond with Iridian as well, and then go from there. Not having to share screentime right off the bat also lets the two of them stand out from each other more and be introduced with way better depth and focus and distinction. Which I also think would strengthen the thematic core of bonds; Nana is friends with them both because of each of them specifically, not just because they were a package deal.

Plus, we already have the face card advantage to give this scene extra oompfh; it might be better to wait to play the King of Hearts in Moropóro's hand for a later scene we'd want to have similar strong impact, instead of spending them both redundantly on the same scene.

Wait, I thought we were drawing new cards at the end of this scene, so we might as well use the face cards while we have them. Is that not how the cards work?

I dunno? I just assumed based on how card games usually go, new cards would be drawn at each new turn, but the ones still in-hand would carry over. But if I'm wrong about that, then whoops.

Cards in hand will be kept for the next turn.

When you draw new cards they go into your hand and deplete the deck.
 
I realised I may not have made this clear in the rules and have gone back to make it more explicit, but basically one character takes a scene at a time (they are the most prominent character in that scene). So if two characters beat the Producer card then the character with the higher value card will take the scene (and thus their card will contribute to meeting the Clear Condition).

Ohhh! Yeah, that did not come across. Okay, in that case, I'm editing my vote.

Okay so if we want to get some club winning scenes to meet the quota we don't want to use a king of hearts right now because that gets us a heart win which doesn't help the quota. Also ease Moropòro in a bit please.

I just want to add. You don't get "extra" acting power from having a higher card. You can act perfectly fine in the scene to do things with the lowest card numbers. Numbers only matter for winning scenes, and for the first scene it only makes sense to put the spotlight on Iridian.

Face cards are the ones that have different effects (possibly getting the TV regulators on us), and maybe I might fluff up what the numbered cards translate to in "story", but mechanically as long as you're high enough to take the scene then it's all good.

I ran a game with somebody whose character put every point into the Body stat so they just played the lowest Spade card they needed at all times to take a scene lmao (so you'd have times when they would play a 5 but they had a 7 in body so their actual performance was 12).

That's one way to do it lmao
Sounds like the result was a very badass and/or fashionable character who didn't have much going on otherwise xD (at least if I understand the stats and rules right so far)

Sparkle Sherbet started extremely strong but didn't have friends or anything else going on and had to slowly develop those other stats through the episodes.

@Lecadia please put together your votes so that the Xs are next to the [ ] marks. It genuinely hurts for me to look at what you're doing.
