Today's the day! Today's the day!
And because today is the day, as promised, here are your instructions for the chat. (more specifically, how to use Charat)
Note: On the off chance that hell has frozen over (aka, Charat is down like it so famously often is) please go to the OOC Skype chat for further instructions. If you are not part of the chat, please add alysomethingorother on Skype in order to be added to it.
Throughout the course of this RP, we will be using several different chat rooms and chat clients in order to accommodate for size. Until the number of students remaining has dwindled to 9 or less, Charat will be the main place for things involving the entire group, such as the introduction chat, plot events, and trials. Chatzy will be used to conduct things with smaller groups, such as investigations and free time events.
Whereas Chatzy has very simple instructions for how to join chat rooms, Charat is a bit harder. If you're unfamiliar with Charat, it can be a bit overwhelming the first time you join a chat as far as selecting your character and such. These directions may seem a bit convoluted, but they should save you a lot of trouble for when you go to join the chat! I suggest doing this ahead of time so that you're not scrambling around right as you try to enter the chat tonight.
1. Go to the Charat home page.
2. Fill out your information like so. We'd appreciate you using the colors we've picked, as they're easily differentiable. The list is below the instructions.
3. Go to Saved Characters, towards the top of the page.
4.Click “be”
This should allow you to already be your character as soon as you enter the chat, so that you don't have to go through the hassle of changing from anonymous to your character. However, it only works sometimes, so in the case of you ending up entering as anonymous, this is what you should do:
5. Upon entering the chat, go to the little 3 line settings button in the top right corner and select your character from the drop down. Make sure to hit apply!
6. BONUS STEP: Please turn off your System Notifications because they are very annoying and pop up like every 2 seconds. It'll make the chat easier to read. This is for your benefit.
7. BONUS STEP 2: Underneath the bar where you type your actual chat stuff (does that have a name, idek), there's a box labeled "Status" with an exclamation point next to it. If you could put your SHSL talent there, that'd be lovely!

Reminder: If you are unable to attend the intro chat (actually even if you are able to attend, read this for the basic prompt), please send your character's introduction to either KeybladeMewKasa, harvestmoonluvr, or Monoguin. It should include name, talent (doesn't have to be explicitly stated), and... something else. Perhaps something about the trip? Something else that shows what your character is like? You decide!
