[Magnum 0pus]

Howdy, it's me, Magnum, and I've come to propose ideas for the types of relationships your kids could have with mine, Claude!

RAY JANECZEK

I imagine Ray and Claude are on pretty friendly terms with each other. Both being on the horror club makes it even more likely, and with how popular and friendly Claude is, it's not out of the question. Although, I imagine they have also had chance encounters online via FPS games on occasion... I'm just suggesting that since I think it would be funny to see how that goes.

MONA MARROQUÍN

In a complete contrast, Mona and Claude are on unfriendly terms. Not because she has done wrong by him, but because he generally just avoids her so as to not associate with her in any way, shape, or form. Now sure, he is mixed in with a couple of bad eggs, but Mona is a really bad egg, even by other standards.

CLARISSA SHOEMAKER

Clarissa and Claude are friends. He is able to notice that her whole thing is a facade, but he doesn't really say anything to her about it since he knows she'll deny it. Despite that, his perception would have him actually worry for her and ask her if she's uncomfortable or overwhelmed since he genuinely looks out for her.

TRISHA PRESCOTT

Trisha and Claude... they know each other, to say the least. They have certainly spoken and hung out very rarely. Claude just doesn't seem to mind her, and is suspicious of her two faced nature but simply opts to not really care about it. Trisha, I don't really know what you would suggest she would think about Claude, I'm open to anything.


And that's about it, I can't wait to see what your thoughts and opinions are on my suggestions.

Quick update (will not be catching up on updating relationships yet!), I'm going to be benching Ray. I don't want to overextend myself in V9, and the concept was coming from a very personal and uncomfortable place anyways. Ray's info is still up in case I change my mind.

[Cicada]

It's alive...

Changes:

• Ray was always in the roster, Trish never existed, anyone who thinks otherwise is insane
• Added the ideas between Privyet and I
• Clarissa has a profile now!

As a general note, my characters do tend to see some changes from the versions presented in the relationship tracker during the profile and critique process. Clarissa's, for example, has already been modified a bit from the original iteration of her. If anything super major changes about any of them that would disrupt the logic behind a relationship we've agreed upon, I will be sure to PM!

Yep, to be clear, Sohel is gone and not coming back.

• Ergo Proxy fan meets One Piece fan... yeah that could literally be the exact description of their acquaintance, LOL. I don't see Ray being one of Koa's close buddies he'd be super loyal to. Aquaintances through anime club sounds about right.
• I can see Mona having some active emnity towards Johnny as one of Mañana's bros, yeah. He's got the sort of swaggering presence a woman like Mona might want to take down a peg or several. If she finds any dirt on him she's putting it out there without a second thought. AKA they're on each other's shit lists but not like actively going out of their way to antagonize each other save in passing. Casual enemies.
• Clarissa and Marcy would probably be on very good terms! No way a doormat like Clarissa would set off Marcy's temper. She'd be happy to follow along in Marcy's wake and be a good plus one at parties, both being popular and probably counted among the less annoying popular girls in the school. They'd see each other all the time through Dance Club and Cheer practice, so plenty of room to build rapport. Since Clarissa drifted strongly under Joanne's influence in the latter half of their high school years Marcy might sideeye Clarissa a little, but probably not much of a dent in their friendship at all.
• Clarissa would actually be Johnny's mechanic as well from time to time if he's using Raya's services. I could see them having gone on a date after flirting with each other while Clarissa was working on Johnny's ride and, yes, that's a really cute way to break it off, I love the idea of them both nerding out over cars to the point that they both realize they need each other as friends instead of lovers. They'd probably also get to bond over being designated drivers for their friends groups too. I'd see them being on good terms present day present time, maybe Clarissa being Johnny's go to to rant about new cars he's interested in, maybe they'd planned to go to an auto show as friends at some point. Clarissa might be an honorary bro perhaps? Also, being the best friend and dopey sidekick of Joanne might give Clarissa a unique insight into how Johnny's being had... on some level that she can't verbalize, at any rate.
