Title: Thistledown

Synopsis:

Jessica has been stuck working at her local shop since graduating university. One day she makes a wish for a more interesting life, and finds a visitor from another world in her garden. That wasn’t quite what she’d had in mind.

Characters:

Left: Jessica
The protagonist, a bored university graduate with no idea what she wants to do with her life. She casually wishes for a more interesting life, never expecting for it to actually come true.

Right: Caric
A knight from another world who appears before Jessica after she makes her wish. He wants to return to his duty in the world he came from.

Sounds nice :3. Is this set up going to be used for more comedic purposes (like all the silly things that can happen with someone like that in our world) or will it be more of a drama (focusing on Jessica not knowing what to do in her life/Caric's troubles)? Or will it try to do a little of both or something else entirely? I'm curious to know the tone of the game ^^.

I'm aiming for a bit of both, possibly with a heavier leaning towards the comedy side.

Sort of generally a "Shit, I can only just about take care of myself properly and now I have another person I feel responsible for because my actions caused him to be in this situation, and I pretty sure anyone I tell the details to is going to think I'm a nutcase. And how do I even begin to help him get back to where he belongs?"
Along with instances of Caric, say, flooding the bathroom because he has no idea how a shower works. Or Jessica desperately trying to convince him that he needs to wear a hat if he's going outside to cover up his ears.

Oh, and while I have GxB in the thread title there, I'm not certain of my ability to write a decent romance plot, so it may just end up more friendship than anything (I'm going to try though)

Edit: I made a logo, and it doesn't look too bad for a first attempt at doing that
