| INTRODUCING THE NEOPOLIS HOLIDAY CARD. |
[24 Nov 2009 @ 3:06pm] |
Hi, friends! Allison here, and other than doing my usual "crawling out of homework's puckered asshole to say hello to your shining faces yet again" schtick, I'm here today to brighten up your OOC posts with a) icons of Mike Rowe secretly thumbs-upping poop and b) to offer a proposition of sorts to celebrate your genius at Neopolis! CURIOUS? INTRIGUED? AROUSED? SLIGHTLY WRINKLY? Read on!
For those of you who first made my acquaintance at the last Ryan-Sarah-Julie-Emily enterprise known as "Fairly Tales," you may be familiar with a little project I did called the FT Valentines. I carried this over to a subsequent game with Cinco de Mayentines, and I have full intent of doing a slightly early Valentine/late Winter Holiday Orgy-esque project for you lot as a fond token of my appreciation for playing in this ensemble upon its conclusion. Basically, these are retarded images I "draw" up in Photoshop with my ghetto trackball that are really stupid stick figures that would even embarrass Natalie Dee, and I like to have them revolve around the "season" the image was made. For reasons unbeknownst to me, people seem to like these crude images; examples can be seen here so you can judge whether you think that this is lame or not.
Anyway! I'd be pleased as punch if all of you signed up for me to draw a character of your choice in weird and possibly lolarious references to your awesome for the past year! But seeing as there are a lot of you and not a lot of me, I would like to gather a list of individuals interested in this tiny release of happiness a few months in advance! As I said, I am making these puppies on trackballs, so it takes a little time whoops. For all interested parties, here is what I need to know below (!!!):
- Name
A/S/L baby JUST KIDDING!- Top three choices for character!
That is pretty much it! I hope you guys are interested in me doing ONE BIG FAT EGO HUMP, because you guys are really special and I just want to masturbate your egos all night long. SO SIGN THE FUCK UP BY FRIDAY, 4 DECEMBER, GOD.

Hello, all. It's time for your nightly ruckus in Magic.
At some point tonight, Bea was flying solo as Cockblock Captain to keep Val from going off to find/bang Nardo. Her idea of keeping someone busy turned out to be Monopoly and TV. Enter Christian at some point, and THEN enter Cole/Rob/Trish to make it a Cockblock Crew. They played Monopoly: Bea with the cannon, Val with the shoe, Christian with the top hat, Rob with the race car, and Trish with the battle ship (because that is important info, guys.)
Things got hectic at two points: A) Dosed!Christian left and came back with an accordion to serenade Beatrix with a "song (that) will mention his desire to father her children and take her to vegas asap", and B) Jenlee showed up, too, possibly while Xtian was out finding an accordion(?), and Jenlee is also love potion'ed up and devoted to Beatrix.
Things I see happening that might draw attention: the crappy accordion music, another possible fight between Jenlee and Christian, and if Val tries to take off into the night to find her true love. DISCUSS.

Soo, you know how Ira is more or less incapable of love? (SO TIME-CONSUMING!) Evidently, a good overdose of a high-quality love potion totally eschews that little problem. After imbibing the spiked champagne at Tash's turkey dinner, Ira first laid eyes on that ethereal, irresistible, chubby-cheeked goddess, Victoria Mushnik. Hubba hubba, what an eyeful, whiplash, &c. He's been following her like a creeper on and off ever since, using robots to offer flowers and deliver chocolate. He may have even serenaded her with a ukulele in the cafeteria.
And tonight, the coup de grâce: Ira has wrangled up an old-school, oversized boombox and ripped a copy of "In Your Eyes," and planted himself outside his Juliet's window, holding it over his head while it plays. Yes, he went there. Feel free to complain of the noise.
Sure, he probably put it down when the song was about halfway over, but HEY. His arms are skinny and that thing is heavy, JCHRI WHAT DO YOU WANT FROM HIM.

| Thanksgiving Aftermath |
[23 Nov 2009 @ 8:55am] |

Today on facespace there were two videos uploaded to Natasha's profile for the viewing pleasure of the Neopolis student body. Clearly filmed from Natasha's phone, both start with loving shots of her Polly Pocket. We're talking panoramic shots of the toy. Long, sweeping shots involving zoom. Weird. The first video, however, is interrupted with a shout and the camera phone pans to Jenlee and Christian having a hissy fit/girlfight. It lasts for about a minute of shooting before the video is turned back to Polly.
The second video is interrupted from Polly love to Val being FORWARD with Nardo.
The videos are titled: "my new girlfriend Polly #1" and "how do the republicans hate girl-love?"

| OOC POST: ELE LADIES' GNO 2009 |
[22 Nov 2009 @ 3:51am] |
SUP LAYDEEEZ
Tonight was ELE ladies' official Girls Night Out. Based on Dominique's post, deets go as follows: whoever expressed interest was given a VIP pass to the opening night of the hottest new club, Diablerie. The girls attended in the best sort of style, arriving in a sleek black stretch limo and were given a private table and bottle service. I'm not as awesome as Kati so I don't have pics of the joint but I will let you use your perfectly capable imaginations determine the look and feel of this swanky club for yourselves.
Needless to say, this was a classy affair, y'all.
So! Who showed up? What happened? Who hooked up with mad hotties? More importantly--WHAT DID THEY WEAR?!
Urrica may jump in with more deets.

| SHOWDOWN~ |
[22 Nov 2009 @ 1:02am] |
Friends, Romans, countrymen, lend me your ears; it's time for a showdown! So, if you've been paying attention, you might have realized that everyone's favorite team of superthieves (Dix11, if you're nasty) is planning to steal a statuette from LACMA this weekend. What a surprise, because the vigilante team ~Night Watch~ (tildes optional) is staking out the museum this weekend. You can probably guess what happens when a team of criminals meets a team of vigilantes, but just in case you can't, there are some details under this cut! :D ( Read more... ) |

| Time to regroup. OR: The Regina and Charlie Break-up, Part 2: ELECTRIC BOOGALOO! |
[20 Nov 2009 @ 9:38pm] |
The OOC community has already seen the post re: REGINA IVANOVA IS NOW SINGLE, so I guess it is not surprising that I am peeking my head in for a tiny bit of time to make a note on Charlie's reaction! And, well, it is obviously not awesome -- but neither, I suppose, is it terribly surprising.
As a bit of (possibly unneeded) backstory: Charlie's already been a really scarce fellow on the networks and via telephony for the whole of this trimester, but you could usually find him for a bit of a chat in between classes or on the odd time that he'd show up at the cafeteria to eat -- and, well, at least he'd sleep in his room, so you could usually talk to him there as well. However, for the duration of today until further notice, Charlie James has officially gone back to Promethean High School levels of incognito. You'll usually see him in class for role call, but by the time that you get to an end of a lecture, he's nowhere to be seen; sometimes, you'll look over mid-way through lecture and his chair's empty. Even his laboratory haunts are scarce (although they usually look as if he's just stepped out of the room -- and you'd be right), and any hope to see him eat a sandwich or sleep in his bed is laughable at best. Although a lot of this is due to Charlie fully completing his steady regression back to high school levels of introversion and the skills of people avoidance that come with it, you can also thank a cloaking device that he just added to his fancy watch to make sure that his zombie walks around campus are as invisible as possible. (All apologies to Ms. Andreatta for stealing her schtick via technology.)
Blah blah, his Facespace changed too, blah blah blah won't answer his phone, blah blah your mom. THANKS, AND NOW HERE'S YOUR REGULAR PROGRAMMING!

For those of you wondering what Scott's entry is about:
Scott's mom [HOT BITCH] and Brad's mom [MCLOVIN] have joined the second season of the breakout hit show, Real Housewives of Neopolis.
Rose Scarlett's mom is still on the show, which now puts the NA MILF mom on the show count up to three.
It airs every Thursday, at 8pm PST.

[19 Nov 2009 @ 6:50pm] |
Just a note for those of you who have characters who would ~care~: Regina's Facespace relationship status went from "It's Complicated with Charlie James" to "Single" this evening.
THAT IS ALL.

| Queenie-Odd plot |
[19 Nov 2009 @ 8:23pm] |
I posted in my CDJ sometime back in September a possibility of some Bigplot revolving around Queenie and Odd, and I am coming to you again because we are finally getting the ball rolling and it is now time for your help. The basic run-down is this: Queenie wants revenge on Odd for the Zombie Apocalypse (as well as being Evil, really), and is going to try to organize a big Master Plan to Bring Him Down. Queenie will try to get her friends involved and the plan will also affect League kids, people who know Odd, etc.
Also I don't want to limit this to just Band vs. League - if you would like a character involved but aren't sure how they could be, I have a few ideas on ways to get them involved. They can always be accidentally caught up in something OR Queenie is not above paying people to do stuff she needs.
I already have a few volunteers to be part of this, but that was a while ago and things may have changed and I certainly don't have everyone on my CDJ, so I would like to ask for volunteers here. If you would like to be a part of this plot, please let me know here.
I'm going to start a GoogleDoc for brainstorming purposes - Julie and I have a basic plot agreed on but there's a lot of room to help us hash out details - so please leave your gmail address (or whichever one you use if you use Google Documents).
I put the old volunteers on the list below, so if you volunteered before and don't think you can be part of it anymore that's fine, just leave me a comment. They're screened.
( The listttt )
Comments are screened, though I'll unscreen ones that don't contain email addresses or plot-secrets.
also Maddie, Sarah and Rae I need to talk to you especially.

| The Gehenna Society! |
[19 Nov 2009 @ 4:56pm] |
O RITE, remember this? I feel awful for consistently dropping the ball on this front, but I'm now trying to make amends! For any characters who would've decided to join Odd's society after the orientation in late September, feel free to add yourselves to the brand-spanking-new wiki page. My OOC note on membership: "Despite the invitation email citing "outstanding academic achievement", grades do not matter for a Gehenna membership. Only your ideology does. Most hardcore Leaguers merited an invite, as long as they aren't explicitly henchman material."
So basically, as long as you're League and fall more on the 'brains' rather than 'brawn' side of the spectrum, it's plausible that you got in. Leadership capabilities, smarts, magical ability, and well-known parents all work in your favour. Please forgive: I'm treading an awkward line here on the society, since it needs to be as OOCly inclusive as possible but also slightly ICly exclusive. I'm trusting people to add themselves, so just use your own discretion!
I know that nothing has been established ICly about Gehenna, so I figure here's our chance to brainstorm, talk shop, and fill in the gaps. I envisioned that Odd would be hosting meetings weekly or bi-weekly (most likely bi-weekly, considering the possible size of this group), and sending out the occasional newsletter about events in Neopolis, readings, exhibits -- all League-oriented, of course.
Since the Gehenna invite list was so big, I'm thinking he often breaks them down into smaller groups: here are Gehenna study groups, as a lure for the more academic-oriented (Crowley, wat) to pool their resources together & pick each others' brains -- and if you're good to him, Odd might even hook you up with access to some seriously rare books. Here's a day of consultation re: how to build a career as a villain (his equivalent of Sandy's hero seminar, basically). Here's an appearance by General Carnage. Here's an invite to a fascinating reading which actually has more to do about magic and isn't ideology-related at all, because Odd is a geek and couldn't help it. Etc. Etc. Some of the Society is pretentious wank and showy bullshit. Some of it constitutes legitimate opportunities and ~wisdom~. All of it is an excuse to make sure League-friendly students continue fraternising with each other and staying in touch.
So! Did your character join? Add them! Are you cool with disregarding my failboat & pretending that they've been meeting all along? Please comment and let me know! Is there anything you'd like to see happen here? PLEASE COMMENT. Off the top of my head for plot opportunities, I'm thinking a field trip... somewhere might be cool. Somewhere important to the League. idk.

Hey everyone, it's Claire's birthday today and I totally dropped the ball on this but she's having a party on Friday. Please assume she sent out fancy invitations to the following people:
Tuesday, Courtney, Marla, Janelle, Jamie, Brent, Beatrix, Crowley, Sandals, Alvin, Sophia, Phoebus, Huck, Trish, Rob, Ira, Nardo, Anna, Drake, Jackie, Dani, Nate, Connor, and Dominique.
Details are fuzzy, which is why I'm not sending "actual" invites. :x But, it's going to be at some swanky club (Club Love?) from like 9 to whenever. She would have asked people not to bring plus-ones or presents. People will get two free drink tickets, but beyond that, they need to pay for themselves. This isn't some kegger! I'm probably forgetting things, so just ask if there's any questions! Also please pretend the invites were sent out LAST Wednesday! Thanks!

| Luke sucks so bad. |
[18 Nov 2009 @ 12:34pm] |
So. It occurs to me that I should have made a post like this weeks ago. But I suck so bad, sorry. Assume this message got lost in the space-time continuum, maybe?
But yes, two of my characters are not being their normal selves of late, so for anyone interested;
Teddy isn't as bouncy as he used to be, following his epic text message breakup with Tuesday. He's been mopey, pouty and occasionally on the verge of crying since it happened as, well, he loved her. I know that Erik was going to take him back to their Mom at some point, as he did not know how to deal with puppy-heartbreak, so... let's say that that was this weekend and he stayed on a few more days. So he turned up back in classes today and, well... he is now Gawth!Teddy. Between Mama Harris letting him pick out his own clothes when they went shopping and some small magical glamours, he's all Hot Topic'd up right now. Spiky dog collar, bondage pants, black t-shirts bearing bleak, nihilistic messages that he doesn't understand, etc. Following his first love and first heartbreak, he is now officially in his first Teenage Fad Phase. If quizzed about his new look, he will respond with 'Life is pain...' or something similar. Whilst simultaneously looking confused about what he's saying.
Godfrey is in a slightly more dire state. Since powerswap ended, he's been making like a hermit in his dorm-room. For the first week and a half, he didn't even leave the room; just laid around, slept and ate when Billy brought him something from the caf. Since that, he's slowly started emerging and attending classes, but he's at about 50% for attendance and barely contributes when he's there. He does the work, naturally, but he's not at all vocal. When he's not in class, he uses all his stealthy, spider-y know-how to get back to his dorm without being seen/talked to. In short, bitch is oh-so depressed.
So, there you have it. ...somehow magically send this info back to yourselves two weeks ago, kthx.

| MURDER MYSTERY PT. 4. |
[17 Nov 2009 @ 8:56pm] |
In tonight's fourth instalment of the doomed Who Killed Captain Impervious (WKCI) rehearsals, the production's bad luck continues! More of the props have been breaking: the backdrop falls over in the middle of Sandals and Brad's seduction scene, a sandbag comes crashing down right onto Jessi's head (but the supergirl is unfazed), and in the culmination of the evening, a rolling renegade piano comes crashing out of the wings, steamrolling Ezra Quick. He is immediately sent to Dr. Roux with mild injuries. In the meantime, the cast and crew hear a man cackling in the distance. And contrary to the norm, the cackling comes from neither Odd nor Mycroft.
The two men investigate the matter, but can find nothing amiss backstage (aside from a few more sabotaged scripts). They chalk the night's events down to malicious student mischief, but Wendelin is off the hook this time.

ATTN: STUDENTS
Willa will start eating all the special brownies her True Friend, Scott Green, made for her. She will be high as an effing kite.
Things to expect:
- She will cash in on all the favors she thinks she is owed. She will exchange said favors for food as she will have a raging case of the munchies.
- At some point she will put on one of her 12 kitty costumes.
- At the end of the evening, she will curl up at the foot of Cole's bed and go to sleep.
PLEASE FEEL FREE TO HARASS HER. Also, I apologize in advance for any harassing she does.
In case you're wondering where she's running off to, this is her path in case anyone wants to run into her. The last location will always be her present location:
WHERE'S WILLA?
a) She started out in her dorm and upon seeing the kitty paws on her computer, she ran to...
b) the Magic Dormitories in search of the Pretty Kitty (aka Courtney Christie). That is, until Christian mentioned hairballs. She ran outside to hide...
c) behind some bushes. She stayed put until her keen sense of smell sniffed out some cheetos. That and Twitch mentioned the cats were after them. Willa scurried off to...
d) the cafeteria. She is sitting underneath a table, eating her cheetos. She was complacent in her hiding place until she struck a deal with Violet.
e) Willa jetted across campus to the Magic dorms in search of "Purple" and her food. After collecting her goodies from Violet, she sought refuge in Marla's room. Feeling rather generous, Willa shared her food with Marla. She stayed until...
f) she started feeling rather warm. Leaving Marla, Willa walked back to Science, discarding articles of clothing along the way. At this point, Austin and Scott intervened, taking her back to her dorm to get dressed. In her paranoid state, Willa chose a kitten costume so she'd blend in with the cats that she believed to be after her.
e) In an effort to be as catlike as possible, she crawled all the way to the Gothic dorms to Cole's room. Rather tired from running about campus, she requested that Cole make her a cat bed to sleep in. It wasn't long till she was fast asleep, in her cat bed at the foot of his bed.
the end!

Super quick note because I am dealing with mega homework (sfgsdfg), but a locked article on Dan Armstrong as is described here can now be found on wikipedia. It is linked to in a couple of wikiarticles relating to Neopolis, including the notable students section of Marvelous High and Neopolis Academy (if it has one). It will probably be up for a while.

| QUICK NOTE |
[16 Nov 2009 @ 8:12pm] |
HOKAY SO Anderson and Jessi have been a thing for a little while, now. Anderson does not have the facespace otherwise it'd totally be facespace official. Be happy for him. Our robot boy never dreamed that he'd have a gf. :) I think that some people should go wild with teasing the two of them. And in the future, some kids will be hit up by Anderson for a special secret project.
I am caught between dinner and video games so I'm rushing a little here. That's all I really needed to say.
OH AND! Freddy Wilson and Sam Marshall, you will be bribed, begged, or logic'd into staying out of the dorm for an hour or so. Anderson totally loves you guys. <3

Hey Neofolk!
As some of you might have noticed last night, I've kinda come out of hiding hiatus. I'm working my way back into the game slowly, but it's going to take me a while, especially since I'm still doing NaNoWriMo this month.
That being said, if there's absolutely anything you would like to see Casey (this journal), Brad (![[info]](http://www.insanejournal.com/img/userinfo.gif) lubrican) or Dani {psychstorm) involved in, please let me know, as I'm desperate for interactions for all three of them.
Much love,
Puja

HAY ALL- This is just a heads up on Broseph. His journal scarcity hasn't been me being too flakey, it's actually IC avoidance. Since Powerswap stopped, Joe has been EXTREMELY introverted, worse than he ever was in highschool or anything like that. Not speaking unless spoken to, sitting in the back of his classes, and probably only emailing a few people- namely the sports kids, to get updates and keep tabs. He of course wished Lance a happy bday, but didn't go out.

[16 Nov 2009 @ 1:26am] |
So, there was a bit of a showdown between Trish and Queenie tonight. Lance, unfortunately, got there a bit too late.
Summary - Trish came to Queenie's room, knocked, and when Queenie answered, kicked the door in (and off the hinge). Queenie came out, her Serpent Staff in hand (and fire ready), and they had a standoff in the hallway that involved some furniture (now broken). Queenie came away with some large bruises, Trish is going to be pretty sore tomorrow from Queenie's muscle-pain curse, and Queenie was pretty clearly losing but managed to get back inside her room and behind the safety of her wards.
It happened right outside Queenie's door in Magic, so there's a good chance that if you're on the second floor of Magic that you would have heard/seen it!

[12 Nov 2009 @ 3:31am] |
Hey guys! Tonight was the surprise party for Lance Crawford, as previously announced by Amy Andreatta!
It started at 8 and was held in Capes common area, where there was lots of food, tons of decorations and plenty of games, including magical Twister. FACT: Magical Twister is way way awesomer than regular Twister. There was also Karaoke and dancing, courtesy of the magically-affected songstresses of the day.
There was most definitely cake and ice cream (and I believe George brought muffins!) and a paper crown made for the birthday boy. Yes, he was forced to wear it. Singing Ellie demands it.
You folks know the drill: Who was in attendance? Who wore what? Who sang what? What did peeps do?

| ONE-DAY CURSE PLOT? |
[10 Nov 2009 @ 5:51pm] |
Firstly: I'm back from a shortish vacation, which means I need to do some Neocatchup againnnn. So please do not be alarmed if you discover late Julie comments in your inbox. Humour me! ♥
SECONDLY: It is Dr. Odd's 51st birthday today! He is not a very happy camper about this, but any presents & well-wishes (instead of the usual death threats) would have put a little bit of sunshine in his day. Do let me know if your character did anything (whether positive or negative), & I might slip reference to them into a narrative going up late tonight. :>
THIRDLY!!! Sry for the short notice, but! Connie once suggested that some legit musical plot (a la Buffy's Once More, With Feeling) go down to commemorate Odd's birthday and his love of showtunes. So here, dear Neopolitans, is what I'm pitching: on Remembrance Day, TOMORROW, WEDNESDAY THE 11TH OF NOVEMBER, a few magical artifacts bust loose, thus causing various characters to speak in uncontrollable song/solos/coordinated song and dance routines. And when they type on the journals, their text rhymes.
This small one-day plot will be volunteer-based (so that it only throws a rhyming wrench into the plans of people who want it!), so FEEL FREE TO DECLARE INTEREST HERE. I hope there is interest! Because I love musical episodes of TV shows and have therefore always wanted a musical day in an RPG, k.
I'm likely to throw Odd & Toby in, at the least, so please join the song-and-dancing with me! Anyone? Anyone? Bueller?
EDIT: OH GOD I AM SO GLAD PEOPLE ARE WILLING TO GIVE THIS A SHOT, I AM SO RELIEVED YOU DO NOT EVEN KNOW ♥
