St. Margaret's: the OOC Community

After nearly six years running, the mods are taking a much deserved sabbatical and the game is currently on hiatus status. We will return some day in the future.

Reperio, cresco, et dirigo!

Recently I was b*tching to a friend about not having any time/energy for RPing (or sleeping, eating, driving, etc.) and it lead to us exchanging 30 second summaries of our respective games and characters. Afterward, she asked who did I imagine as the PB of Fisher's therapist?

( There was only one acceptable answer... )

Are there any yet unseen NPCs referenced in your pet monster's history? Share a pic and spread the love, folks!

So I am looking for plottiness for any of my girls(Kristen, Nicole, Delphine or Alyson) sorta been MIA lately mainly because I am a little lost as to what sort of trouble to have them get into. So any plotty-bits would be welcome!

Hello and happy holiday, y'all!

Apologies for those waiting on Fisher responses, but sadly I'm going to be a sloth for a while longer. Aside from the usual holiday fuss, I just found that I'm going to be unemployed in the somewhat near future. :/ As you can guess, the news hasn't left me in a playful mood.

Ho ho ho ho oy vei.

Sorry for being sooo slow. There was a work situation and I overworked myself to the point of coming down with pneumonia, and let me tell you, that is not fun. I'm feeling a bit better now, but work is still trying to kill me. So I'll tag what I can, when I can, and where I can, as well as go back and read what's been going on that I've missed.

Theo!

John, Hayden, Tomi, Ms. Pearl, Mr. Price

This time of year is always crazy busy for us all, so don’t worry if things slow down. They do every year and pick back up again in January. Have patience for your fellow players and if you have any urgent or pressing questions about characters or what have you, message the player directly. Otherwise, feel free to Drop Box us or shoot us an email: missmenidesknowsitall@gmail.com. We’ll always get back to you!

With January approaching, we’ll be doing a little bit of New Years cleaning of the cast/player page. 🧹 If you or your character haven’t been active in the last, say, two months or more, you’ll receive a courtesy email inquiry about your continued interest in the game. If we don’t get a response or you agree that you’ve been inactive too long and it’s time to call a spade a spade (heh), we’ll include it in our cleaning efforts. Everyone who makes activity before January will be exempt, of course!

Upcoming fun events for January and February include our annual Polar Bear Dive, the Secret Admirer Valentine fundraiser, and keep an eye peeled for our developing game plot! Hints are dropping weekly. ;)

Cheers!

Slowly oozing back into the swing of things...

To help get the creative juices percolating (and inspired by the hilarious tribulations of Mr. Tanek Horváth) I offer the following bit of fluff: Leave a character name in the comments below and I'll tell you how Fisher's rabid rambunctious automata intruded on their life (or just their laundry).

Whether you want to keep the incident as IC or OOC imagining is up to you. :)

Hi, folks! Lee (a.k.a. Fisher's meat puppet) here with a notice: due to a major change at work and the death of a friend, I'm going on a "slow-tus" for a few days. Although I'll try to post some replies, but it'll be slow going.

Apologies for anybody threading with Fisher and my thanks for your understanding.

Greetings students, staff, and all resident termites!

Ever had that one friend who invites you out at 10PM for ice cream - and three hours later you’re wearing fireman pants, missing a tooth, and chasing a cow down a highway?

...yeah that one.

Meet Fisher Drosselmeyer, the living embodiment of “it seemed like a good idea at the time” especially if the idea involves cunning, creativity, and three pounds of crazy in a two ounce bag. Fisher is an Intermediate level student though this is (sort of) her third year at St. Margaret's; she had to leave school early last year due to getting accidentally cursed health issues. Her witchcraft deals with physical enchantments. In practical terms this puts her somewhere between talisman artisan and supernatural plumber. (Fisher herself votes for the latter.)

Fisher has the tendency to scavenge for craft materials and a very liberal definition of what material is considered “available.” She’ll “borrow” anything she can pry loose, but the items will usually be returned in a day. Or two. A week tops, honest. So if your bed is suddenly missing a leg or your toothbrush has gone inexplicably bald...

Think that it’s possible your wunderkind ran into Fisher before? Here’s some potential common ground:

On a more personal note: ‘ello, I’m Lee! (Your second one, I think?) I’m on EST time but am very email friendly and, being the Worst Employee, will 110% reply when I should be working. Sadly, GChat isn’t much of an option. ☹ If you’re keen on threading via GDocs, though, then hey hey hey: marry me, gorgeous.

Hi everyone. I'm Jay, and this is my girl Talyssa.

She's another Antonite. Originally she's Roma, from Romania; she's obviously spent time in the castle, and now she's at Saint Margaret's.

Talyssa is an omniglot. That means, she is fluent in every language that is, was, or ever will be. As a result, she doesn't really understand language. Everyone else has run into a situation where they meet someone who doesn't speak their language for the first time and begins to understand that they have a language, and some other people have other languages... well, Talyssa's never had that. For her, there are just words, and some people use some words, and others use different words. She understands it all.

She understands animals, though there are certain physiological differences which mean she's not as adept at speaking their language. Sometimes, her ability is akin to someone speaking English with a heavy accent and a speech impediment... sometimes, she simply can't make the required sounds and ends up inadvertently insulting the creature she's speaking to!

She understands plants and trees, though that's more an emotional thing than a language thing. Trees and plants are alive, but they're not sentient in the way that humans are, or even the way that animals are.

There's more in her bio if you're interested, but that's about the long and the short of her. She's into tarot (can read the cards) but the language thing is her main gift/power.

She needs friends! She also needs enemies/people who don't enjoy her. Particularly people who don't realize the scope of her power and try to talk about her in other languages, thinking she won't understand! Because of what she endured in the castle, she tends to be pretty chatty: sometimes too much so.

I work M-F 8-4 at the moment, but I'm in New Zealand so I'm not sure how that'll line up with other people. I'm not sure how much playing I can do from work. I'm on a computer all day, but it's too soon to tell how much downtime I'm going to get!

Hi guys, it’s Theo again! Allow me to introduce my second teacher character, Maximilian Price. Mr. Price is a Pride Demon from the commune in NYC. He’s here to fill some shoes that include Head of Pegasus House and professor of Psychology and Literature. He’ll also be overseeing Student Council. Seeing as Pride is such a diverse Sin, you’ll see Max demonstrating all kinds of behaviors that could make him seem like any of the other kinds of demons. He’s the best kind, you see. He takes all the good things about the other demons and leaves out the rest. He’s the smartest and the prettiest. You can sit with him, I guess. Without his glamours he resembles an evil goat from the waist down and horns out, but you’ll rarely see those cloven feet.

He’s heard stirrings of angels in the area and has come to catch a glimpse and to hopefully start his own little commune in Maine. How wrong is it that all those Stephen King novels are set in Maine and yet demons haven’t built a commune there yet? Pshaw.

He’ll be introducing himself on the network shortly.

Don’t look at his journal! It’s still under construction and my icons are in the works. :sheepish: Run the friend button so we can play!

Hello players!

For those new or unfamiliar to the game's celebration of Halloween, each year the school and each house within prepares an exciting evening on All Hallow's Eve that spread all over campus.

Hello! This is Theo and my new chatacter, Tomi. He's from Japan, first time in the states and thrilled to be here. He was turned into a vampire by a fangling on the run and they're both newly arriving to the school (I'd also love it if someone was interested in playing Violet, his teenage sire).

He's a Standard year in Pegasus. His vampire power is bat scattering, where he turns into a swarm of about 12 bars. When he was turned, his throat was torn open and it essentially destroyed his vocal box, so Tomi is mute.

He's nice and interested in everything and wants to get to know people!

PS: mods, I can't access the friend button :(

Updating everyone~

I did make it to Japan with no hitches aside from sickness. I'm going through a bout of "start to get better then magically develop a separate illness". It has completely exhausted me outside of adjusting to my homework and commute to and from school.

Felix and Peyton are doing their normal thing. I will try to read up and hit tags before the weekend, but if I don't manage to, I'm sorry. My desktop does arrive this weekend, so I plan to be (hopefully) off hiatus then.

♡

I got a new job and I just put my first week behind me, so I've settled down a little. I be back, lovelies! Who wants scenes?

My internet has been out at my apartment, doh! So that's why I've been slow on the tags. Hopefully I'll be back in speedy form in another week or so.

Ciao!

We've finally gotten around to updating the game pages. (yay!)

Here are the characters fading into the background (boo!):

Students:
Ashley Bradley
Trevor Danko
Adrianna Maye
Kendra Cook
Tyler Danko
Kerr Holden
Domino Maddox
Sumi Akio
Katherine Branson
Kara Langly
Cascada Vela

Teacher:
Elias Farrell (Since the player didn't give us a direction for him, we're going to go ahead and say Mr. Farrell had some medical issues he didn't want cured by magic (sorry, John) and had to stop teaching. He will be missed and the staff wish him well.)

Curriculum notes: Combat Magic class has been removed.

On a happier note! The mods are putting together a surprise to celebrate the game's FIVE YEAR ANNIVERSARY on October 7th! And here's to another five years! 🥂

Cheers!

[EDIT] Found! P.S. We need two volunteers to [REDACTED] in the upcoming game plot. First come first served >:] Comment below to sign up your character.

I think that it's no real surprise that I'm just not feeling things anymore. I rarely remember to log onto any of my journals for this game. I almost didn't even update Trevor's class list because I have lost the muse for him completely. The girls have been struggling here as well, so I feel that it is just best for me to leave St. M's completely. I may be back in the future, and I wish all of you the best.
