Mar. 12th, 2015 02:25 pmtsunderboltingHey there, St. Augustus players; we hope you're having a great day today.
Just wanted everyone to know -- since not everyone follows plurk -- that I, Len, your Illya and Mikoto player, will be taking over the role of a helper mod! Basically I'll be helping with the clean-up and organization, especially since Prof will be stepping down as a mod. And in light of this news, we'll be putting up a new post for applications as well as dormitories.
If you have any questions, suggestions, or anything else in general please don't hesitate to contact me and I'll try my best to deal with it.
Thanks so much for reading and we hope you're enjoying the game as a whole while we make this transition! ♥

EVENT: Snowed In
Mar. 8th, 2015 02:06 pmthe_npcdo[Early Monday afternoon, the snow starts. At first, a charming novelty glimpsed through the classroom windows, but within minutes it becomes a veritable blizzard. Any classes being held outside are urged to bring themselves inside. Within half an hour, the power's cut out and the snow is piled high enough to make entry/exit from the buildings difficult. Within an hour, it's impossible. Snow is piled halfway up the first floor windows, and most of the doors have frozen shut. The second story windows seem to be working just fine, though, as are any rooftop access doors.]
[The blizzard finally calms down, but students and faculty are trapped inside--or outside, if they managed to be on the wrong side of the doors during the storm. The power's out and the cold is starting to seep in through the insulation. Worse, there seems to be some kind of unseen presence in the buildings, an eerie cackle echoing through the empty halls or an unsettling sense that you're not alone.]
[Someone's going to have to restart the generator before we end up with a school full of studentcicles. It wouldn't hurt to clear some pathways out of the buildings, either.]

[MOD > EVENT > The Snow Ghost]
Mar. 8th, 2015 02:04 pminchesofevilWelcome to our first gamewide event, everybody! This is a little ditty I like to call GETTIN SNOWED IN BY GHOSTS.

[MOD > Plot/Event crowdsourcing post]
Mar. 6th, 2015 05:05 pminchesofevilSince this is a pretty low-key game, the mods are not really running the show plotwise. So we leave it up to you, the players, to make this setting more than just a magical high-school sandbox.
Comment here with your ideas for gamewide events! Small school-event sized stuff like bake sales or seasonal dances? Go for it. Citywide events? Sure. Worldwide? Lay it on me.* Or if you just need an NPC to facilitate something for you, let me know and I'll get on it.
The ideas you present here can be as vague or as specific as you want, and I encourage people to chime in and discuss and build on the ideas of others. You don't need to give us fully-fledged plans; this post is for brainstorming. My job is to take your brainstorming and turn it into a fully-fledged plan.
*We're trying to keep the general tone of the game pretty light though, so keep that in mind.

Class is in session
Feb. 27th, 2015 07:15 pmofsevenseas[On the first and second day of Literature Class (to compensate for late arrivals), the students are greeted by a large black board that reads "TISONI" with a pronunciation key underneath it, and a man with a knee-length ponytail, large hoop earrings dressed in slacks and an oversized sweater sitting on the edge of the desk]
Welcome to class, you'll be calling me Mr. Tisoni for this course, and we'll be covering literature and writing for the semester, before you groan - I hate picking apart everything in the text as much as you do, sometimes a cigar is just a cigar. And we'll be going over more then books written by long dead Britons and Russians about the cruelty of life, including "Genre" fiction. We will also be writing, both the essays and original works.
There should be a survey on your desk, with four questions: Your favorite book that you had read, your least favorite, the hardest book you've read, and if you had done any non-school related writing.
[He hops off the desk and writes on the left-handed side:
Favorite: 1001 Nights, Journey to the Center of the Earth, Buck Rogers
Least Favorite: Lord of the Flies, The Jungle
Hardest Book: Finnegan's Wake
Writing: I'm published]
There's a little challenge, I did have some of my stories published, but it's not under my name for reasons - if you can figure out what I wrote, you'll get something special.
Feel free to talk amongst yourselves while filling out the survey, and ask questions if you want.
[With that, he's going back to his desk and pulls out a book - kicking his feet up on the desk and leaning back. No need to do busy work while he's assessing at what level the class's generally at]
[or alternatively]
[Since it's free period for his class, he's wandering all over the campus, looking for trouble - both mundane and supernatural. Hopefully you're not one of those trouble makers]

ACTION | OPEN | MONDAY
Feb. 21st, 2015 02:38 amswarmoflies[Guess who is bumming around campus while all you other losers are actually attending classes? This girl, that's who. You may find her wandering the grounds, lounging in trees with a pilfered snack, tucked away in a corner of the school buildings, inspecting a stolen trinket, testing the locks on the dormitory room windows and peering in to check for valuables...the sky's the limit, really.]
[She'll be around all day, so whether you want to go chasing down the little truant or run into her between classes or have her face just appear in your dormitory window at an unfortunate moment, she's available for you.]

More open mingle!
Feb. 19th, 2015 09:14 pmsoundslikehighmaySt. Augustus Academy for Gifted Youths is an unusual school in many regards. One of them is that the campus is littered with places one can get some sudden privacy. Almost as if they expected that students might suddenly need to duck out of sight when they unexpectedly turned into a centaur, or who might want a place away from prying eyes to try and practice things that normal people might find...unusual.
Jaime is in such a place right now; a small enclosure off the side of the gym, boxed in by hedges. It's not clear what it is he's doing, but he appears to be making a serious of dynamic poses while muttering to himself.
"Hngh! Transform! Henshin! Blue Beetle, activate! Man what's it take!? Do you want a beetle snack? What do beetles even eat?"
What on Earth could he be up to?
[[We had an open mingle for people moving in and exploring like normal people, so here's one for people experimenting with their powers or accidentally revealing that they are more than merely human.]]

Feb. 19th, 2015 09:42 pmall_onis_are_true[The phrase, "You can lead a horse to water, but you can't make him drink" is currently running through Hiroshi's head. Likewise, they may think they can force him to acknowledge that supernatural beings are, in fact, much more commonplace than they let on, but that does not mean he has to play along.
So he sits in an out of the way part of the campus, reading his SCIENCE book as if he is trying to shut out the entire world, and hoping that eventually all the really strange looking people will stop looking so strange, and he can just forget the supernatural even exists.
Just
yeah, this will work. Surely.]

SUITE F. SUNDAY? PROBABLY?
Feb. 19th, 2015 05:01 pmswarmoflies[Sette had just been on a plane for almost twelve hours. She was tired, jetlagged, cranky, and she hadn't ever wanted to come to this stupid school in the first place. Meaning, of course, that she was in the perfect mood to meet her suitemate.]
[She opened the door violently, and began dragging her hefty suitcase inside. Her tired fingers lost their grip on the suitcase's handle and dropped it on her toe, sending pain shooting up her foot. What followed is a lengthy stream of invective directed at the suitcase, the floor, the building's architect, gravity, and the world in general, peppered with obscenities both casual and imaginative.]
[She neither noticed nor cared that someone else was in the suite's common area with her.]

Action Mingling
Feb. 19th, 2015 04:55 pmclockworkheals[Ah yes, the start of the new term. While somewhat exciting in its own way, it was also a bit chaotic. Especially with all the new students requiring help, other teachers needing a variety of books, and other things, Tsukiko was actually kept somewhat busy. It was a change of pace from the norm, where she'd normally be hunched over her desk with a book or her laptop and a steaming cup of tea.
She can be found meandering throughout the shelves, both collecting books that have been requested, offering to help find items, or simply just making sure everything is in its proper place. Busy as she is, she's pleased enough to help anyone who needs it. The library is a wonderful place.
Of course, it's not that difficult to mistake the librarian for a student, looking as young as she does.]

open action; monday.
Feb. 19th, 2015 01:04 pmworldcup[ Classes had just started up again and Illyasviel von Einzbern wasn't the type of person to sit around. Of course she had to miss the first class of the day due to an emergency check-up with the doctor, so that's where she'll be during the morning, before classes actually start and during the first hour or so. Anyone who knows her is free to drop by if they don't have any morning classes or are, perhaps, ditching. But be warned: she may or may not report you depending on how you deal with her.
Being a homunculus is not fun, especially when you're short and have a short life span. Of course, Illya herself already knows that she's only got a little under a year left more or less, but it's not as if she isn't going to have fun. If she didn't, then she'd be wasting her time, right?
And she... really doesn't want to be wasting any time. She'll be in almost all her classes today, participating as she sees fit. After classes are said and done with - either during lunch or after - however, she'll definitely be asking about what happened in the morning class. Not that she expects anything to have happened in the morning since it's the first day but still. Maybe she missed something interesting! She may or may not be attempting to talk to everyone she passes by at any given moment, though. Especially if they look like an easy target. Bonus points if they don't know about the secret of magic.
But at least she's not breaking the rules!! ]

General action mingling!
Feb. 18th, 2015 09:37 pmhair_guitar[The last day before classes begin again is always an exciting time. As nice as it is to have the place to herself and her music, it got pretty quiet during the off months. It also means that this has been an early morning for her. She'd already gotten the notice that she'd be having roommates coming in, so she'd made sure that Suite D was ready. The suite is cleaned up and, after reading that some places like hotels and stuff left chocolates for guests, decided that sounded like a good idea. Except when it had come time to actually put the plan into action, there'd just been too many different kinds to choose from, and it wasn't like she knew what kind they would like.
So, basically everybody in the suite has a pile of candy waiting for them on their pillow. That's obviously the best choice. People like candy, right? ... Right!]
[Other than that, Ellen can probably be found all over campus today, ready and willing to meet people and help newcomers find their way around the place. Whatever might come up.]

diethedesu[It's the start of a new semester. That means confusion, disorder, chaos. There's only one person with no social life the mindset and authority to keep her fellow students in line and organized.]
[Dlanor can be found all over the school today, giving directions, giving polite but firm reminders not to run/horse around/use superpowers, running papers for teachers, and generally being a helpful little nerd. She's somehow even projecting her little monotone voice over the general havoc, helped by her weird emphasis.]
Excuse me, are you LOST? I can help if you show me your SCHEDULE.

Teacher's Lounge Mingle/Meeting, Sunday
Feb. 18th, 2015 05:58 pmofsevenseas[Sinbad sprawls onto the chair of the Teacher's lounge. He hmms softly as he noticed the rather high temperature - 85 degrees Fahrenheit, with a stretch of an arm, he reached over and cranks it down to 77, realizing that really would be too hot for most of the staff.
There's a coffee machine with hours old coffee by the door, a corkboard littered with the finest examples of Passive-Aggressiveness in English, and inspirational posters that made the Djinn's eyes roll.
He stifles a yawn as he nurses a mug of coffee in one hand, and with the other he flips through the rather large stack of memos about the new transfers for any special consideration, meetings, repeat warnings to stop messing with the thermostat among other things]
Another Semester, another crop of students, I should get the surveys printed for my class... I'm surprised a Dryad hasn't marched in to complain about the waste of paper.
((ooc: Mingling for the teachers))

Feb. 18th, 2015 05:25 pmsun_sun[New school! Living on her own! A new and no doubt bizarre world to discover.
After finishing up registration, dropping her stuff off in her (at the time empty) new room, and bidding farewell to her parents, Annie heads out into the bright, shining outdoors (okay, it's 56 degrees and cloudy) to explore her beautiful new home.
No classes today, so there should be people hanging around campus, right? PRIORITY 1 MAKE FRIENDS, PRIORITY 2 TO BE DETERMINED LATER]
