Idris Academy

Hey guys! :) Mei is in a chipper mood today and is excited, which means she's spamming you with mod posts!

- Some of you got emails a few days ago about the upcoming mod plot! Don't worry, it will all become clear this weekend! The plot hasn't been set in place yet, but we're putting a few things down to get it started. So look forward to that! We'll have an OOC mod post up explaining everything in detail most likely Saturday night or Sunday.

- Halloween, an American holiday, is this Saturday! There's no actual celebration, but the school is allowing school dress code appropriate costumes for students to wear all day Friday if they wish to celebrate. Because there are so many American students at Idris, some townspeople do leave candy outside of their doors Halloween night. And sometimes students like to hand out candy as well.

- We just finished a round of removals, unfortunately, and lost 8 characters. (Sad...) Hunter, Z, Evelina, Shou, Lily, Dick, Eli, and Fionan! (Sadface!) If you had plot with one of those characters and need to write them out for some reason, please let the mods know what you're thinking. For now, Z will remain in school and be NPC'd.

I think that's it FOR TODAY!

A new plotline has been put into action. You can read all about it here. For those of you too lazy to skim the very short article, here is a brief run-down of what has happened:

Julian Prescot was found dead midnight today (That would be Thursday). He was seen earlier being screamed at by a very disgruntled Maverick Jason Kendall. Later, Jason was seen in town getting into a fight with a Faie who has yet been identified. Jason is currently missing, nobody knows where he is. The outside world has reacted violently. Therian and Faie are currently putting blame on each other and the Magical Governance has been trying to keep things from getting out of hand.

The following students either left the school or were pulled out by their parents out of fear that something similar will happen: Dara, Stein, Briony, London, Nira, Bridget. (Let me know if someone is missing from the list!) And Head Boy Mikhail had to leave as well due to the fact that his father just came down with Cancer. (EDIT: Megan has decided to take London back.)

If you were rooming with one of those characters, be sure to check the new roommates list and discuss with your new roommates (if any) plotlines you'd like to have. It is entirely possible for those who didn't interact at all with their roommates to pretend they never had them. (Example being, since Dara never posted anything, I can assume that Viitoria is only on her second roommate and start off any new lines that come her way from when Brooke left.)

That said, we do have a few new openings in school activities. If you see a position you would like to have, feel free to let the mods know and we will add you on the list. Furthermore, we do have an opening for Head Boy. So let us know if your 7th year boy would be fit for that position.

The Romeo&Juliet play is recasting. Please leave a comment here if you would still like to be in that or if you would like to join.

Finally, we would like to discuss the upcoming Founders Day Weekend with all of you. It is an annual event where parents are allowed to come and visit their children. Feel free to put up narratives of what your characters did with their parents or thread with parents and students (or have your character sulk because their parents never showed up.) Parents can arrive Friday evening, where there will be a large banquet on the quad. Saturday night, there will be a fair with a few games, a ferris wheel, and a few really tame rides. Sunday morning there will be a peace service in the town chapel. It will probably be a little depressing, considering the turn of events, but life goes on.

Questions? Comments? Suggestions?

Hi guys! Just a few notes and updates!

- It's Lily's birthday today (Monday) so feel free to react or not care about that.

- We unfortunately had to remove two students. Cameron has gone on a trip to Egypt, and Brooke had to rush home to tend to a sickly mother. That said, a senator and Head Girl position are open. Come talk to one of the mods if you'd like to move your character up to one of those positions. Remember that Head Girl is only open to 7th year (girls) and it is preferred that the girl has had other Student Government positions. Though not required.

New update: Brooke is going to officially leave (as far as plotlines go) on Tuesday. There will be a few days of confusion, and the new Head Girl will be named... (dun dun dun...) Viitoria. So Thursday Viitoria will have a nice little entry up. And characters can react to it however they want to.

- The Casino Royale event is coming up this Friday. It will be a school sanctioned (fake) gambling night where students can dress up and have some fun. The event will begin at 8pm and run until midnight. A notice has gone up asking for donations of good quality things and/or services from the students for prizes during this event. Please comment here if you'd like to donate any items. (And example would be: Julian will be 'auctioning off' a date with himself. =P Because the boy is just that cocky. It can also be textbooks, clothing, money, jewelery, anything you can think of.) Comments will be screened so it will be more fun.

You have until Wednesday night (Eastern time) to donate something. An actual slot machine will (hopefully) be up by Wednesday night for you to play, and prizes will be announced Friday when the big event goes up.

Hello guys!

We'd just like you to remember to hit the Friend add button, as there have been quite a few new faces around here. (Try not to scare them too much, eh?)

Also, we are sad to report that Michelle has left. Therefore, Landon/Tobias and Tristan will be leaving the school. Things shifted around a little and now Julian is moving in with Jason! Feel free to have your characters react/not care about the news.

Finally, we'd just like to thank you guys for being so awesome and allowing this community to grow. Keep it up! Because you guys are lovelovelove!

Hello dears!

Activity checks are over, but we'd like to remind you guys that if you have any incomplete threads, to please make sure you are finishing them! Please go check the !incomplete tags, especially the incredibly old ones, and make sure you don't have any that you might have forgotten about! (And please remember to tag your threads!)

Along that note, we've had to say goodbye to Addie (played by Alexis) and Joshua (played by Jackie). Please go hit the friend all button and make sure you have everyone added!

Also, we have our first ever Idris Trivia! The mods figured that we would find some fun ways for you guys to earn some extra points for your house teams. So we have a list of questions about Idris and its characters. Each right answer is worth 5 house points. There are 20 questions in all. You may only choose one of your characters to give the points to, so choose wisely! You only get once chance to answer these. Please when answering specify the character you're giving points to; if you don't, we'll give it to the character whose journal you used to comment with.

All answers can be found somewhere on the journals and communities. You can choose to answer only some or all (or none at all.) Just comment to this entry whenever you are ready. Comments are screened.
