White Feathers
audio drama tells the 'slice of life' story of Kohinata
Nanoka, a Japanese high school student, her mother, Kohinata
Makie and
Shiro, a persocon (robotic personal companion) purchased by Makie to help look after Nanoka.
The audio play follows our main characters through their daily lives as Nanoka grapples with her growing feelings of affection for her persocon, and Shiro attempts to understand more about human nature.
More characters become involved in the storyline as it progresses, including other students and teachers at Nanoka's school, as well as employees at the beauty parlour that Makie owns.
In the original 'by post' roleplay, Nanoka, Futaba and Omura-sensei are written by Darkling. Shiro, Makie and Yukio are written by Jo'ogn. The audio play scripts are written by Darkling and Jo'ogn, while the actual episodes are directed, mixed and edited by Jo'ogn. A decent pair of headphones is recommended to enjoy all the details of the soundscape.
