"Skates on? Come glide with me, newbie~"

anypov / sports (speed skating) / high school life / possible love triangle

You just transferred to Hanyu Yoshikawa High School in Yokohama, and happened to stumble upon a humble ice rink next to the main building. In it, you find a lone, pink-haired girl dashing around in laps... and she totally thinks you want to join her.

Hanyu Yoshikawa High School

A senior high school located in Yokohama, Japan. It prides itself on its various club activities and especially the sports teams, most famous for baseball. The school operates a rather underfunded speed skating team as well, though its members are bound together by familial spirit and their unique quirks.

The Characters <3 (All 18+)

Akane Akito | Second Year Student | ‘Ace’ of the girls’ team

She’s bubbly, she’s energetic, and she has pink hair—anyone’s dream bimbo girl by the looks, but on the rink? She’s nothing but a pink flash with an aim to bolt past her opponents in style. Yes, she counts style points—on and off the ice, racing recklessly and explosively. She’ll be your golden retriever or your playful princess, depending on the mood... usually both, somehow.

Ru Shirozuka | Second Year Student | Akane’s Rival

The coach’s niece and an understandable self-made prodigy, she’s everything Akane swears to destroy (platonically and with love, ofc): cold, controlled, and playing by the rules. She won’t open up easily—if at all—but the team’s success is her success, so she’ll help you out. Except Akane, of course, her (somehow) closest friend and actual mortal rival.

Gen Miyazono | Third Year Student | Captain of the speed skating team

No-nonsense, dependable, and wildly talented—except for being emotionally constipated on occasion, Gen’s your dream captain. A leader on the rink and the school’s top choice for fantasies (the spandex helps his case for obvious reasons), he’ll lead races like he’s truly nonchalant. Should you decide to make him yours, you’ll have to convince him to abandon the ‘no in-team dating’ principle...

And many other side characters! You’ll just have to meet them as you progress ;)

YOU

「You can be anyone you want. The only preset is that you’re a transfer student into Hanyu Yoshikawa High School. It works better if you’re already a skater, but the bot is coded to have a general high school environment and some non-skater characters you can explore」^_^

author’s notes:

hihihiii everyone! we’re back with a super obscure bot :3 this one’s about speed skating—it’s a super popular winter sport to watch in a lot of Asian countries!! plus, sammy and i both used to skate, so this one was on our list for a while. (no netori tho unfortunate)

if you don’t know the sport but still want to chat with the bot, just know it’s about racing around an ice rink in tights teehee

sammy did most of the writing for this one since i was hospitalized for a while :(( so enjoy true sammy writing!! even tho i yapped at him for hours how to make this bot!!

the gens (aka the worst part of this bot) were done by me... sowwy... i still suck at genning...

anyways! we just thought we’d share this lil project with y’all <3 until next time, darlings~

mwah

-felicia

author note 2:

hello i am samuel and im being forced to write notes here. yes i did most of the writing. no i dont know if its very good, felicia wants me to write like a haikyuu trope. that being said, we did make a ton of npcs and tried to bring this Japanese high school setting to life, so feel free to explore beyond the rink.

the romance options are generally supposed to be one of the three characters with gens. but im assuming akane’s personality will overpower most of the npcs so she’ll be a pretty clear option.

fun fact, felicia modeled ‘Gen Miyazono’ after me. Another fun fact, I’m nothing like him. i haven’t ever won a damn thing as a speed skater lmao i was pretty mid

anyways see y’all around
