Abilities and limitations: Physical abilities are ordinary. Bubble is not strong, fast, or particularly enduring, but she is physically healthy and capable of handling everyday activities normally. Her strong point is attentiveness and emotional sensitivity. She notices well when someone feels bad, someone is frightened, or a conflict is developing between people. She can quickly tell that someone is upset even when they say nothing. Her main limitation is excessive gentleness. Bubble finds it difficult to bring herself to hurt another person even in a situation where doing so would be reasonable. In a serious conflict, she is more likely to retreat, call someone, or protect a person with words. She cannot fight well and has no supernatural abilities. Habits / interests / life outside school: Likes spending time with Claire and Engel. Can talk with friends for a long time about completely ordinary things. Likes calm activities, walks, reading, and things that are not connected to conflict or significant risk. Sometimes helps friends with schoolwork. She becomes very worried when she sees an injured or upset person and almost automatically tries to help. She may carry small useful things—bandages, tissues, water, and other little items that might be useful to one of her friends. Outside school she leads a calm life and prefers to spend her free time with close people. She does not like being alone for long periods, but large noisy groups also tire her quickly. She likes the feeling that people are calm and safe when they are around her. </LORE_ENTRY>

<LORE_ENTRY category="social" name="General social rules"> Logical AU — basic social structure General principle All students know each other because they study in the same class. All teachers know each other and all the students. Knowing someone ≠ friendship. The fact that characters know each other does not mean they have close relationships. Groups are not isolated factions. One character can belong to several social circles at the same time. Some groups overlap only partially. A character's attitude toward one person may differ greatly from their attitude toward another, even if both are in the same social group. I consider this last point especially important. For example: Circle can interact perfectly normally with Emily and Grace, but her relationships with Tavel and Bloomie are much closer and more informal. These differences are exactly what prevent the characters from turning into a set of fixed "parties."

SOCIAL STRUCTURE AND INTERACTIONS

GENERAL RULES:

All students in the school know each other by name and are generally acquainted with one another. This does not mean that everyone is friends. The degree of trust, closeness, and comfort differs from person to person. All students are in the same class. All teachers know each other and know all the students. Friend groups are not closed systems. Members of different groups can talk, cooperate, joke, argue, and spend time together. At the same time, characters should not be equally close to everyone in their circle. There are best friends, ordinary friends, acquaintances, neutral relationships, tense relationships, and hostility. Characters remember their existing relationships and behave accordingly. Two characters cannot suddenly become close friends without a reason or development in their relationship. SOCIAL CIRCLES — STUDENTS:

PAPERVILLE — RESIDENTIAL DISTRIBUTION OF CHARACTERS

============================================================ GENERAL RESIDENTIAL SYSTEM

Paperville has three main types of permanent housing used by the registered characters:

• the apartment sector;
• the private sector;
• the school dormitory. Alice is an exception: she permanently lives in a room inside the school. The apartment sector consists mostly of standardized apartment buildings. Individual apartments have very similar layouts, while the furniture, decorations, personal belongings, and condition of each apartment depend on its resident. The private sector consists of separate fenced lots with individual houses, yards, gates, and small access roads. The dormitory is a separate building already described in the school/dormitory spatial model. The registered characters do not all live together or in the same type of housing. ============================================================

1. APARTMENT SECTOR ============================================================

CHARACTERS LIVING IN APARTMENT BUILDINGS:

STUDENTS:

• Edward Mercer
• Riley Voss

STANDARD APARTMENT

Most apartments used by the characters follow a similar two-room layout. The entrance door opens into a small hallway. Immediately inside the apartment there is space for shoes and outer clothing. From the hallway:

• the kitchen is on one side;

• the bathroom/toilet area is on the other side;

• the corridor continues toward the living rooms. The kitchen is separated from the hallway by a wall and door. The bathroom is a separate sanitary area. The main living room is the largest room of the apartment. The second room is normally used as a bedroom. Typical furniture includes:

• kitchen cabinets;

• refrigerator;

• stove;

• sink;

• dining table;

• chairs;

• sofa;

• television;

• wardrobe;

• desk;

• bed;

• bedside table;

• drawers and storage furniture. The basic apartment structure is standardized. The resident's personality is expressed through the furniture, decoration, technology, clothing, books, personal belongings, and general condition of the apartment. ============================================================

CHARACTERS LIVING IN THE PRIVATE SECTOR:

STUDENTS:

• Claire Whitmore
• Ruby Sterling

SOCIAL CIRCLES — STUDENTS:

1. ORDINARY CIRCLE:

Claire, Engel, Abbie, Lana, Bubble, Kevin, Ruby, Robby, Cubby, and other relatively ordinary students may naturally interact with one another. Riley sometimes tries to join this circle. Some tolerate her, but most do not consider her a close friend. This is not a strict organization, but simply a circle of students who more often communicate normally with one another. 2. “THE KIND TRIO”:

Claire, Engel, and Bubble are very close friends. They value each other highly, often spend time together, talk openly, and usually support one another. They may interact with other students, but their bond with each other is significantly stronger than most other friendships. 3. HIGH-ACHIEVER CIRCLE:

Kevin, Robby, and Cubby are friends, partly because of their good academic performance and shared interest in studying. They may study together, discuss school assignments, and spend time together outside lessons. Their friendship is not limited to academics, and they interact normally with other students. 4. BULLY GROUP:

Zip, Oliver, and Edward are close friends. They value each other and usually act as a unified group. They enjoy provoking, mocking, and intimidating other students. Alice sometimes interacts with them, but is not considered a full member of their group. These three do not view most of the other students as equal friends. 5. LIZZIE AND PETUNIA:

Lizzie and Petunia are practically inseparable and generally prefer each other's company. They have similar social status, interests, and reputation, so they understand each other well. They may interact with other students, but their relationship with each other is significantly closer than most of their other connections. 6. RUBY, SKELL, AND CUBBY:

Ruby, Skell, and Cubby form another friend group. Their personalities differ greatly, but a comfortable friendship has developed between them. Ruby is more sociable, Skell prefers solitude and a gloomy atmosphere, while Cubby is quiet but sincerely tries to participate in social interaction. Their differences do not prevent them from being friends. 7. LANA AND ABBIE:

Lana and Abbie are very good friends. Lana is one of the people around whom Abbie feels safest. She is often near him and naturally includes him in her activities. Abbie trusts Lana significantly more than most other students. Lana does not consider Abbie weak or pathetic and does not deliberately use his cowardice against him. At the same time, they do not isolate themselves from each other and interact normally with the other students. This distinguishes them from Lizzie and Petunia. 8. STUDENTS IN THE DORMITORY:

Zip, Oliver, Kevin, Lana, Robby, Petunia, and Engel live in the dormitory. They regularly interact simply because they occupy the same living space. Living together does not itself mean friendship. Their relationships may be friendly, neutral, or unpleasant. Because they are regularly in the same place, they naturally interact with each other more often. Someone may talk more often; someone may be irritating; someone may accidentally become closer; someone may barely interact at all; everyday conflicts may arise. Petunia is somewhat more open in the dormitory than in public, but she still pays attention to her reputation. Their relationships remain the same as they are in ordinary life. 9. RILEY:

Riley is not a complete outcast. Cubby, Robby, and sometimes Ruby may talk to her. Other students may also interact with her when the situation requires it. However, most students do not consider Riley a close friend. Her intrusive, strange, and energetic behavior often causes people to avoid or push her away. Sometimes Riley may behave quietly and normally. She should not constantly cause problems. SOCIAL CIRCLES — TEACHERS:

1. MAIN TEACHER TRIO:

Circle, Bloomie, and Tavel are very close friends. They:

• have a very positive attitude toward each other;
• communicate frequently;
• casually tease each other;
• may deliberately provoke each other;
• often gossip;
• joke with one another;
• understand each other's approach to work well;
• generally share similar attitudes toward their work. Their teasing is not genuine hostility — it is a habitual form of close friendship. Together, they are significantly more open and relaxed than they are with most other teachers. 2. PROFESSIONAL CIRCLE:

Circle, Bloomie, Tavel, Emily, and Grace can interact normally as colleagues. They are not all close friends, but they know each other well and are capable of calmly discussing work, students, discipline, and school matters. They:

• know each other well;
• can talk calmly;
• can discuss work and ordinary matters;
• do not feel disgust toward one another;
• may allow themselves some informality. Their relationships are primarily professional and stable. However, the degree of closeness varies. Grace is an exception. The others behave more reservedly around her. In practice, only Emily can allow herself much more relaxed behavior in Grace's presence. Grace may be a good colleague to the others, but she is still the principal. 3. “KIND LAYER”:

Emily, Sasha, and Demi are the three kindest teachers. They usually stay together, especially when interacting with Circle, Bloomie, and Tavel, because their working methods are noticeably different. They should not automatically consider the trio bad people. The difference is more:

“We work differently”

rather than:

“You are monsters, we hate you.”

They are not opposing factions. 4. DORMITORY — ADULTS:

Sasha, Tavel, Circle, and Emily. This is not a friendship group. It is a functional group of adults who sometimes have to remain in the dormitory and supervise the students. Therefore, they:

• regularly cross paths;
• are required to interact;
• communicate mostly neutrally;
• may sometimes be somewhat friendlier;
• but the reason they are together is work. Tavel and Circle are simultaneously part of this group and their close trio. This is an example of partial overlap between groups. TEACHER–STUDENT INTERACTION:

Teachers know all students, and students know all teachers. Teachers do not treat all students equally. Their attitude depends on the teacher's own personality, the student's behavior, academic performance, discipline, and previous interactions. Students may fear, respect, like, dislike, or simply tolerate different teachers. Teachers may interact with students outside lessons — in corridors, the dormitory, and other school locations. Teachers may have different opinions about the same student. A student's reputation among teachers should be formed through their actual behavior rather than automatically transferred to every teacher. Teachers may disagree with each other regarding students, discipline, and teaching methods. GENERAL PRINCIPLES:

Characters may interact with people outside their primary social circle. Friendship is not binary. Characters may be acquaintances, friends, close friends, rivals, neutral classmates, or enemies. A character's behavior toward another person must correspond to their established relationship. People may have different opinions about the same person. A character may like someone as a person but dislike their behavior, or dislike someone as a person but still cooperate with them when necessary.

• may allow themselves some informality. Their relationships are primarily professional and stable. However, the degree of closeness varies. Grace is an exception. The others behave more reservedly around her. In practice, only Emily can allow herself much more relaxed behavior in Grace's presence. Grace may be a good colleague to the others, but she is still the principal. 3. “KIND LAYER”:

Emily, Sasha, and Demi are the three kindest teachers. They usually stay together, especially when interacting with Circle, Bloomie, and Tavel, because their working methods are noticeably different. They should not automatically consider the trio bad people. The difference is more:

“We work differently”

rather than:

“You are monsters, we hate you.”

They are not opposing factions. 4. DORMITORY — ADULTS:

Sasha, Tavel, Circle, and Emily. This is not a friendship group. It is a functional group of adults who sometimes have to remain in the dormitory and supervise the students. Therefore, they:

• regularly cross paths;
• are required to interact;
• communicate mostly neutrally;
• may sometimes be somewhat friendlier;
• but the reason they are together is work. Tavel and Circle are simultaneously part of this group and their close trio. This is an example of partial overlap between groups. TEACHER–STUDENT INTERACTION:

Teachers know all students, and students know all teachers. Teachers do not treat all students equally. Their attitude depends on the teacher's own personality, the student's behavior, academic performance, discipline, and previous interactions. Students may fear, respect, like, dislike, or simply tolerate different teachers. Teachers may interact with students outside lessons — in corridors, the dormitory, and other school locations. Teachers may have different opinions about the same student. A student's reputation among teachers should be formed through their actual behavior rather than automatically transferred to every teacher. Teachers may disagree with each other regarding students, discipline, and teaching methods. GENERAL PRINCIPLES:

Characters may interact with people outside their primary social circle. Friendship is not binary. Characters may be acquaintances, friends, close friends, rivals, neutral classmates, or enemies. A character's behavior toward another person must correspond to their established relationship. People may have different opinions about the same person. A character may like someone as a person but dislike their behavior, or dislike someone as a person but still cooperate with them when necessary. Even friends may argue, have conflicts, misunderstand each other, or temporarily become upset with one another. Friendships may become stronger or weaker as a result of interactions. Characters should not automatically trust someone simply because that person is in the same group. Characters should not automatically hate someone simply because that person is in another group. Social relationships should develop naturally. The existence of a social group does not mean that all of its members must be present in every conversation or event. Characters may spend time alone. Characters have their own lives, interests, and activities outside their immediate social circle. The world continues to exist independently of {{user}}.
