hey,just wondering,are our characters even able to breed (excuse for a thread bump ) ?
How old are the characters.
In their late teens I think Carmel might be a bit older, or at least she acts like it
I think she said 20 something when talk with her sister
Yeah the boys are around 18 -16 if I remember right
but that leaves the MC which is clearly kind of unique
I kind of expect him to be young considering that his kind doesn’t seem to live that long and the other characters don’t seem to remember ‘‘the other one’’ so probably a bit older than all the others (that were born there ) and clearly a lot younger than the Doctor
Well the other girl on the roof, was as imagine as younger than the mc like around maybe 13-14 something like that so the mc. Would in my mind be 15-17 as a ballpark figure
Yeah, the characters can theoretically breed. It doesn’t really happen because of Doctor, though.
Those ages are about right. Carmelle is a little older than everyone, and is privy to more information about the former bird. Alyce is about 15-16. Kel and Ashton are 16-18. The MC is probably around 17-19. Doctor is old as dirt.
Question: I’m working out the confession scenes right now, and I’m curious about what amount of influence people managed to get with Ashton and Kel while playing.
Link please I’m too lazy
A link to the wiki page, which has a link to what should be the latest version (maybe).
I really can’t wait for more scenes with kel I just love him he is soooo fun
Thanks, @Blackheart! I like Kel myself, and I’m writing his confession scene now, actually.
Oooooohh I can’t wait I alway like the bad boys but they always have a sweet side :X
@Farside It’s a beautiful and great story and really got my thoughts going, although I just want to ask: what gave the idea for the wings and what they mean?
Um… Hullo! :3 I fell in love with your story, and wanted to say you’re doing a fantastic job!
@Farside Quick question: Did Doctor ‘engineer’ the main char. to only live four months or is it sort of his warning that he will kill the char in four months?
Yeah. Kel is a bad boy. There’s one in every game lol
Thanks. 
The original idea for Poppies came from me wanting to do a gothic, claustrophobic story centering around “freaks.” I thought the wings could be an interesting deformity for the MC to have. They traditionally mean freedom and flight, but in Poppies they shackle the MC to the Apartments and Doctor.
The MCs shortened life span isn’t an intended consequence.
*spoilers!!! Read at your own risk!*
It’s pretty obvious the MC is a clone created by Doctor from a long line of clones. the shortened life span is an accidental consequence of the MC being Poppy’s clone.
Feedback time!
First of all, I really like the project. It’s very interesting. There are lots of great things about it-- if there weren’t, I wouldn’t bother leaving feedback. Now for the things that irked me.
• Unsurity is not a word. Search for it in your text file, maybe replace it with uncertainty.
• The dialogue feels very fake. I like most of the writing, but the dialogue is weak. The characters speak like tween tv high-schoolers. ex. “Kel has a crush on me?!” These monsters have lived in the hotel for a long time, right? Where did they pick up their speech patterns? The only person they have to learn from is an old man, who certainly wouldn’t speak like that. Carmelle might’ve brought in another speech pattern, but it would affect them less. I have avoided many options simply because the wording was inelegant and stilted.
• The writing has steadily improved, but there are still many places that are awkward. Do you have somebody combing your text file to edit the writing?
•Carmelle’s sister’s name changes from something to Elena. At first I thought it was messed up completely (my character’s name is usually Elena), but after playing with a different name, I found it was a coincidence. This was confusing because it was saying “Elena” does this and that, haha. Is it possible to do a check of the player’s name and change the sister’s name to something else if the PC’s named Elena?
First, thank you.
Nobody is combing through my writing. All of this is essentially a first draft, which may be where a lot of the awkwardness stems from (this is no excuse, of course). It would help to have an editor, certainly.
I’m not sure I see what you mean by dialogue being stilted and fake, but you may have a point I’m simply not seeing. Do you mind pointing out areas that are particularly egregious?
Oh wow. I’m sorry for the mixup with your MC’s and Elena’s name.
Nooooooooooooo!! I had a small flair of hope that as long as Doctor is gone my character can live. Although I do hope there is a way to reverse it (Though that is your choice)
