See I knew there was something I had forgotten! I promised a friend that they would be able to hit Droznik for what he did. And I will add that with the next update!

I hit a weird bug where I got a gift from Droznik, and in the next paragraph got the same goft from some other person Droznik had asked to give it to me. Wonder if that’s the someone-appearing-who-shouldn’t bug you mentioned?
Yeah thats the bug! I thought I fixed that in allmost all routes, I thought I had all but there already is a lot of branching and I bet I forgot some!.. which route did you choose?

Other than the tba’s making the last part feel sudden, there was only one thing about the update I didn’t really like. For the choice about something being on our back, I wish there was the option to not have anything. My character wouldn’t have gotten in trouble enough for so many scars, and my character wouldn’t really want a tattoo either. So yeah, I wish there was a “none of the above” option
And also, in the update whenever someone speaks German (?), there’s nothing really to indicate what was said. So I ended up being more confused with the new stuff than I was with the previous stuff

Um, I didn’t go to the party. Does that help?
I got that bug too, and I did go to the party
I totally get that! I will be working on those during the next weeks but I also want to spend christmas with my family and just relax a little bit, not focus so much on writing 
Spoiler about the options with scars: Wing MC got those for a “sin” they didnt commit. They took a punishment meant for Droznik. So the “my MC wouldnt get in trouble” part can totally be true! I will add a few things to make this a bit more clear, since i originally wanted this to remain a mystery for a bit longer but it doesnt make much sense. For an option of nothing… idk I am still unsure. Because even the tattoos are not there because Wing MC wanted them, but because someone ordered them to get them Can still change, but idk.
I will look over that once I go over the text again, I always try to relate the meaning in the narration afterwards or, if its an order like “Come over here” with actions of the characters. However where it is basically meaningless, doesnt add anything to the story or such I also havent translated it since doing though adds zero.
Okay, I think I know where the error is, I will just go over the text again during the next few days or weeks. This also made me realise another overseight: I have been so focused on this update that is when Droznik betrays Wing MC that I completely forgot that there is also totally the possibility to be in a relationship with him lol and I did not code that in.
Is on my to do list!

Which reminds me, Magpie is called both Talon and Wing, which… kinda confused me. Also we’re called Wing [Firstname], while Wing Magpie is Wing [Lastname]… why is this inconsistent?

Thank you 
I hope you are going to enjoy it too!!
And thank you so much for asking about lore! I have been sitting on these like a dragon on a hoard but I actually want it to be known lol but there is only so much I can write in the story without it becoming just annoying.
The ranks are these (copied from one of my tumblr posts):
Ranks
-Pullus, german: Dunenjunge/mädel
-Nestling
-Branchling, german: Ästling
From this rank onwards actual training is required to be able to call yourself that rank:
-Alula
-Remicle
-Wing, german: Fittich or Schwinge
-Talon, german: Fang
-Tarsus
(-Elder is sort of an “one term for all” for everyone above the tarsus rank, but especially for those who did not pursue any higher ranks at all)
From this rank the ranks will change depending what Role one has in the Divine Flock, as an example I am using the role Raubvögel, birds of prey (police, the Ravens, security etc (and yes I have zero ideas what I could use for the other avis academy voleries lol but maybe I will find some good words)), here:
-Lanneret
-Sakret
-Terzel (french: Tiercelet)
-Sprinz
Starting here the ranks are again not divided by the Role, they are the same for everyone:
-Ceres
-Crown, german: Krone
And by kids do you mean Wing MCs Nest? They are roughly around 10-11 years old!

There are actually two, they just share the same name! But I think I will translate one to make this more clear.
Because Wing MC is actually important, unlike Wing Magpie, and somehow I think it would be really weird if you constanly read about your MC being addressed by their last name. And there is also the case that Wing MC is most often surrounded by people they know very well, so them being on a first name basis is more accepted as long as no one is forgetting the rank.

Playing a new run, though the RO is Astoria again and I ran into a part that made me curious;
When you meet Astoria at the Mall there’s an option that state’s ‘Isn’t it obvious I am a Songbird’ or at least something close to that.
It was greyed out for me but I was curious if anyone has been able select it and if they did how they got it.

You have to choose being a Swan for that, as those have a special rank called the Holy Songbird! But it doesnt do much besides adding that one line dialouge (however it will become more important later, as that gives MC a different kind of influence).

I wasn’t that surprised about the scars from the punishment because at least one of my MCs has enough nature to get himself into troubles. But what decided what kind of punishment one gets? Since i remember Dove MC saying that they weren’t that bad and the next thing we know MC almost died because of some legal drinking/smoking/ Chase’s flirting. Makes me wonder what that little weasel’ve done that they wanted to beat him like a dog? Knowing that MC was punished instead makes me want to kick him even more!
It just occurred to me… if that’s the case, shouldn’t we know that before we decide what our relationship to Droznik is? Sounds kinda huge and relevant to that. I mean, potentially friendship-ending.

Sorry I dont understand that, can you explain what you meant?
I wont spoil that yet, but rest assured that Wing MC did choose to do that, and it was Droznik who begged them not to do it.
I dont understand this, do you mean at the very beginning where you can choose if you are still good friends with him or just friends? (I am aware that I do need to rewrite that part anyway to reflect that, but just want to be sure we are talking about the same thing here!)
Wing MCs past is set in stone, meaning that they once were such good friends with Droznik that they were willing to be punished for him. However this doesnt have to be the case now, during the time the game takes place.
Yup, that is indeed the choice I was talking about! I understand the background is set in stone, but since we can choose the current attitude, I’d… expect to know the things that might affect how the player might feel about it before making that choice? If that makes sense?
It does, but this choice of how MC got their scars was only set in stone like yesterday 
(I had a few ideas, but they didnt work out that well and I finally decided what I am using now) however this leaves me with a new problem, I am still thinking about a solution but so far havent come up with sth: right now the scars are a choice.
If I write it that way it is now, this leaves the MC no choice but to have done it.
(i have some more thoughts about that but i somehow can not write them down into english)
