They say that small towns hide the darkest secrets. At least that’s what your mother always said about this one. You thought she meant how Father Simmons has a well-known drinking problem, how Mrs. Gladstone’s son looks more like his uncle than his father or that the mayor has been in power for 15 years because of voting fraud. Things everyone knows. Human Things.
But now as partially eaten bodies have been left in alarmingly rates all over this small town the world has no record of, you now know she meant something else.
Play as peculiar and disturbed individual surnamed Crown after the very town your ancestor founded, returning after a traumatic event two years prior that landed you in a psychiatric hospital. As your comeback coincides with a rapid increase of disappearances you find yourself in-broiled in a town conspiracy, a past that’s more alive than ever and the ever shifting self interested motives of those who claim to be your allies.
Who can you trust? What’s the truth behind your family? What are things that you see in the dark?
Sometimes it’s hard to tell what shapes monsters come in.

Rely on a group of complimentary polar opposites to find out the mystery and save your life

Imre Duran
Quintessential good-boy-next-door. The most most-liked teenager in town. As son of the mayor and pageant queen, Imre has an image cultivated by him and maintained through his status which is why his back door activities are his cherished secrets. He is rather eager to help you… isn’t he?
Nia Mir
In the very real and present high school hierarchy Nia would be one of the nobles. As a wannabe doctor with a loathed father and an absent mother her dream is to leave behind this backwater town and all it’s weird phenomena that she doesn’t care to know more of. She liked you, once.
Lorcan Stark
Every town needs its bad boy and so Lorcan has aimed to be as every bit worthy of that title. The shunned son of a murderer and his victim, he is not really thought of as having a future beyond prison and petty crime especially in a town like this. You don’t remember a time when he didn’t hate you.
Salvatore Crown
Your brother. The heir to whatever fortune your family has left and the only one of the family who seems to like you.
Orla Crown
Your sister. No one ever knew what she thinking, a closed box full of unknowns. You knew she kept things, especially from you.
Mayor Duran
Seems like every other politician. Oddly enough no one ever really sees him, an entity watching over the town.
Mother
She never acted like one to any of her children. She’s never sober anymore.
Mrs. Mir
Disappeared years ago without a trance. No one remembers her first name. Was thought to have been clinically insane.
me after every social interaction, knowing it went terribly:
[ID: spongebob sitting calmly and smiling in a blaze of red and orange fire.]
Aizawa: If you have a problem with the way I train my kids-
Vlad King: Students.
Aizawa: -you talk to me!!
A Reporter: I have a problem with-
Aizawa: I don’t want to hear it!!
So, after four days of fighting with the sewing machine, broken threaders, and so much fraying, I finally finished this shan! It will be my first shan in this style - because when it finally started to be fashionable, I stopped buying much hanfu… Also I really hate when the bottom hem is uneven on me, so it will have to be tailored-made instead of buying from the rack.
This post only talks about drafting the patterns and the measurement. The steps of making… I think @yi-gege‘s post here should be enough. I usually sew in the following sequence (not sure if it is the right way of doing it): the back seam, the sleeves, front and back, the collar, and at last the bottom and sleeve hems.
This post also includes some tips on the back seam, the arm pit, the bottom hem, bar-tack at the vents and what to do if you ran out of fabric. Also, while I did not put it in the slides, but do remember to iron before and after sewing every seam to get a sharp finish.
There will be another post specifically on how to collar a hanfu.
I hope this post is understandable LOL.
