The Cabot School

*waves about* Okay so! I've been busy and AFK the last week or so and thus responding belatedly to all the new people but hi hello etc. Neither of my characters are new but I'm just putting up a feeler post for general plot stuff if anyone wants to do something with Danny or Jaeger.

With Thomas specifically, I would like to actually do at least a few classroom/teaching related things, so I'm sort of thinking of this post as a 'roll call' for students who have him as a teacher. I know off the top of my head that Owen, Ryder, Angeliki, and Angelique have him this year... am I missing anybody else?

I just applied this girl and now I hope to get some lines for her so she can come in with some things.

Her name is Ryder. She's a senior and has been here since she was a junior. She's friendly but she usually keeps to herself and is usually always seen reading or cheerleading when she's not in class. She's the head cheerleader so she'd be friendly towards any other cheerleaders more than likely. Her parents send her to see a shrink once a week because of their paranoia, so if the school has one that'd be great.

She can use just about anything. Friends that can understand her maybe since she's been through quite a bit, enemies, possible love interests or flings or anyone that just doesn't like her.

Info and everything is in her journal.

Okay, so in addition to bringing you the fabulous sarsfield, I'm going to bring in another character who I never really got off the ground before I left. Aurey Renard is a fifteen-year-old junior (who needs a roommate ... offers, please!). She is from Paris and attended the Paris Opera Ballet school, and she was well on her way to becoming a famous dancer like her mother and grandmother before her before she literally got derailed. She, her parents, and her twin sister had their car rammed of a bridge by a drunk driver. She lost her sister and her father, her mother got away with minjor injuries, and she ended up in a full body cast and in a wheelchair for the next year or so. Ergo, dance will never happen for her and she is pissed. Her mom relocated to New York City but sent her to Cabot for school, and she is just downright furious. She hates America and speaking English (she is not that good at it) and going to regular school and generally not dancing. She is a total bitter loner that has not healed mentally from the trauma of the accident, and takes it out on everyone around her. That being said, if your kid can speak French, she will probably be a little easier on them.

Hi Cabot! I have put in a hold for this junior dude, name of Owen Ellery. Owen is a pretty typical teenage male for the most part, very into girls, a little cheeky, with a mouth that sometimes outruns his brain. When not boarding at Cabot, he lives in Rhode Island with his father, stepmother and younger stepbrother, his parents having divorced some years ago and his older sisters having left home for college. His family traces back to one of the more obscure signers of the Declaration of Independence, something that matters to Owen not at all and his father a great deal, which has led to plenty of NOBODY CARES DAD and IF I CARE YOU'D BETTER CARE between them.

Owen has one interest that will probably earn him some flak from his fellow students; he's on the varsity cheerleading squad. This doesn't thrill his macho, ex-military father one bit, which is probably the main reason why he signed up. As for why he stayed, well ... only guy amongst a horde of hot girls. You do the math.

So who wants what kind of storylines with this guy? I'm up for all kinds of interaction, be they friends, enemies, romantic interests, mentors, faculty headaches (given or received), etc!

Hello Cabot! I'm considering bringing in this sixteen year old sweetheart. Her name is Kara Ava Parker. She's named after her grandmother, on her Dad's side. She can be a little shy, but she can also have a little bit of a feisty streak in her. Her PB is Sarah Bolger (which I'm considering changing, if lines swayed me to do so.) She's got two younger brother's that are twins, and would be about 14. I'm up to have her be a boarder or live at home. Is there anything anyone would like to see from her?

What's up, Cabot? I'm bringing sexy Wally back. For those of you unaware, Wally was Cabot's finest janitor/badass MC. Straight outta Sudbury, Ontario, Wally would write raps in his off-campus trailer, determined to be the white Lil Jon. To supplement his impressive janitor salary, he sold weed to students and teachers. Wally finally got fed up of all the "hoity-toity fuckin' bullshit" and took off to LA, where he tried to make his rap career happen. It didn't, because he's about as gifted ar rhymes as Kevin Federline. So he's back, he's pissed, and he's now got the face of Zach Galifianakis. You can find him stonedly manning the mop all around campus.

And to biancaspecial, if you're out there, I AM SO SORRY I DIED ON YOU. Life got crazy, but I really want our line if you're still around! If not, I would love a love interest for him. I would strongly choose Heather Chadwell as a PB, but really any Rock of Love/Flavor of Love chick will do. The skankier, the better. Anyway, yeah, give me lines people! I will reciprocate.

Alright, while I'm not currently done with this character's information, I'm looking to bring her into either a high school or college/university game. ~cabotadmissions just so happens to be one of the few I'm considering at the moment. Anywho, she would be a foreign exchange student from Hong Kong who was adopted from the mainland. She was orphaned by a terrible earthquake and suffers from the trauma of it. She would be preparing get into a fine arts program or attend a specialized arts school. She's also a non-practicing homosexual, so I would be exploring that theme of discovery with her because she's essentially free from the environment she lived in.

Would anyone be interested in developing a line with me? She'd need a host family.

Hello!  I'm Jess and this is Angeliki.  She's an extremely shy Junior who's been hovering in the background and interacting as little as possible for the past two years.  She's from a little town just outside of Philly.  Her parents are divorced, Dad got custody.  Mom's in college for journalism, Dad's an accountant and a ferocious nerd.

While Gelly is shy, she's deliberately working on social interaction.  She's friendly in an uncertain way, though she's a bit bolder online.

Plotting and storylines or whatever are very welcome.  I'd love some friends/acquaintances/people who dislike her.   I'm on AIM under GelikiNash, or just send me a message.

Welcome, Cabotians, to my storyline trawling post.

I would like to bring into the game this senior student, Penny Holman, known to her peers and family as Roy and hails from Santa Fe, New Mexico. Roy/Penny can be a bit of a handful; she loves causing trouble, she loves being loud and she loves to talk-back. She has interests vested in computers, gaming, music and exploding things and she has attended Cabot since grade eight.

I'm still working on her survey and history, but I'd love to find her a place in the game. Of course she could use some friends, enemies, frenemies and other - so if you think she may fit in with one of your characters in some way, please do discuss!

Dear All,
I've been working on my survey and I am almost done (aside from the hard questions), so I am going to take the time out to post on the shorelines (<---Whatever, not as successful as my spell-check) community (if you are reading this, the posting on the shorelines [<--Spell-check] community was a success).

I bring to you Matthew Birmingham, who can be best described as the friendly guy who keeps to himself and seems like he may make for a great serial killer. The good news is that he is not, he's not even a cannibal, but that still leaves him with the friendly guy who keeps to himself gig. He teaches English and he lives in a tiny, tiny apartment with no furniture.

If you want to check out his survey or profile, lovely, if not, who's going to know, really? He's been teaching at Cabot since 2008, so he will be known by the other teachers and staff, I'd love to find him some lines or potential lines. You can also find me on AIM for discussion/debate @ third man matt

Much Love!

Hey there! While I know that I am supposed to be working on another character for the game, I couldn't stop this one from pushing her way to the front of the line.

This is Alice O'Dea and she would like to make herself known and look for lines/history.

She's Boston-Irish, a sophomore, and a little bit of a firecracker. I've completed a bit of her survey here and will be steadily adding more over the next day or two.

If you see your character being friends with her, wanting to push her in the mud or something else entirely please let me know as I'd love to work out some history with other characters.

If you want to chat to me on AIM about her, you can IM me at Ester's AIM moreorlessester

If I were to bring this girl here would she be wanted for anything? Bio names can be changed and place of residence would obviously be changed.

Hello Cabot lovelies! I am here with character number two, an experiment of sorts. This is Céline Stathos, potential teacher of French I-III. I've got most of her stuff worked out but I'm offering her up to you as a clean slate for potential mischief/plotting.

First, I figured she'd have been at Cabot for a few years under the radar, but not without gaining something of a reputation. I would wager it was whispered that she was a big trollop (although he who utters this in her presence best protect his balls), and, while that's not really true, it could make things interesting. She is a flirt - she finds it as natural as breathing. She's also known (and I doubt she would completely deny this one) for being a bit of a cougar (of legal age, don't be a perv) and equal-opportunity (hello, ladies!). I mean, she's French. Zey are zee lohverz.

Also she sneaks about with the college-type kids at night and goes to coffee shops and the types of places Fox frequents, although she assumes most people at work aren't aware of this. And the kids at said places definitely see her as just "some hippie lady".

Anywho! If you have some interesting/slightly evil plot development that you think she could work well for, I'm all ears. She has quite a tongue, but is a Catholic girl at heart (???) so it's up in the air how she'll behave with anyone. Friendships would also be nice.

And if anyone has a club they particularly want sponsored or something let me know. :)

Hi folks!

I'm still in the process of writing the bio and survey for this young man, who will be my first character at Cabot if he's accepted once I, you know, apply. But I thought it couldn't hurt to do intro/ask about for storylines.

Daniel Dreyfus is a sophomore and a big nerd and a geek, almost stereotypically so. His social skills aren't the greatest-- especially if Oh No Girls! are involved-- but he usually tries to cover up his awkwardness by being 'the class clown'.

He games, so he could run a weekly tabletop campaign for any like-minded students. He's also handy to fix computers if yours is broken.

Despite being bright, he's a C student, and may wind up on Academic Review in this his second year.

I'd love for him to have a roommate (probably one who'd be annoyed by his less-than-pristine habits) and any other suggestions for interaction that arise. Friendships would be great, but preferably to be developed in play rather than just assumed to be close buddies already, as he's something of an introverted loner right now-- more comfortable playing World of Warcraft than hanging with buddies.

I just applied with this boy, and fingers crossed I'll be crawling all over you guys for lines soon like lice. I thought I'd get some pre-crawling in.

This is Michi Ueda, Cabot newbie, teaching Anthropology and Ethics. He's a hairy adrenaline junky who grew up in Nagano (where else?), is passionate about extreme sports and is currently working on his PhD thesis for Boston University. He's lived in Nagano, Tokyo, California, and Boston before coming to Cabot. He recently separated from his wife, and is trying to accustom himself to being a weekend dad to his three children, whom he misses terribly. He's very cheerful, though, takes life in his stride, very zen. Big hairy doofus. He rents an apartment in Beverly, which houses a large tv, a goldfish called Surf Bear and a dalmatian puppy called Cadpig. He's incredibly fucking friendly, has a very tight handshake and will tug you into a fierce man-hug if he likes you. He's a big flirt, too, who enjoys pretty women and very, very occasionally pretty men, and has a serious weakness for anything with red hair.

Full and detailed information resides in his journal. He's looking for everything, being so new to Beverly. Friends, mostly, to start. Surf buddies would be amazing.

And his beard is amazing.

Any takers?

Cabot has acquired a posse of ginger females, and ... here's another one! Angelique Beaumont is a freshman from New Orleans and a friend of Molly Hebert's, one of those practically a sister, families have known each other forever kind of things. Many teachers may wind up giving her fishy looks for this reason alone, to which she will be utterly sweet as pie, proper Southern lady that she is. Really. >_>

Angie is a good student, a good writer and participates in Track and Field, among other things. She is also a very girly girl, and a typical teenager about being welded to her cell phone and iPod. She is inclined to lay on the honey with those in authority and get into things with friends when those in authority aren't looking. We'll see how well this works!

You can find her bio and survey over here, and her aim sn is angeleeeek (be sure you get all the e's in there. angeleek and angeleeek were already taken). So who wants some lines with the child?

Hello there!

My name is Millie and I have decided to return to Cabot with an old character. Some of you may remember Max Wechsler, Physics teacher - he was in the game around a year ago with his two children.

For those of you who don't know Max, he's a fairly nice guy who can be a little bit shy (especially around women), he has terrible habit of babbling and he tends to emit a general feeling of 'whatever' wherever he goes - he can be frustratingly mellow during the worst of times.

As mentioned he has two teenagers, but I don't think they'll be picked up this time, I'm just going to say that they are both off on a foreign exchange program. What else? He lives in Salem, has a pet duck and doesn't really know what to do with himself any more now that he's got no children around to fuss over.

I'm looking forward to meeting all the new characters that I don't already know, along with playing with the few familiar faces that are still around! If you think Max might fit into any storylines you already have, or if you have any ideas, let me know.

Ahoy-Hoy! I've placed a hold on the PE Teacher at Cabot and I have been busy (sort of) working away on his profile/survey. Here are some quick notes for you all;

His name is Marek Zaluska and he was born in Poland and his family moved to the US when he was ten years old. He's from a big family of many Siblings, many Aunts, many Uncles, many Cousins, many Grandparents, many Nieces and many Nephews - I'm sure they all occupy a large chunk of Beverly town space. Marek is now thirty and he teaches PE. He is (for the most part) a friendly guy, but he can be a little bit cocky and a little bit of an annoyance. He has loads of energy and a bit of a temper.

Marek is new to teaching (this will be his first year), he left school part-way through his senior year to go off and play soccer in Poland until he earned himself an injury in 2006. He moved back to the US, divorced his wife and finished his senior year/started to study. He loves his dog, his bike, his car and doughnuts.

I'd love to find out how he'd fit in with the existing characters of Cabot, I'd also love to know if there are any storylines out there for him.

Hey guys! I just wanted to let you all know that Marigold is now sponsoring the Art Club. I don't know if that will open up an opportunities for lines, but I thought I'd at least put it out there.

I missed Cabot, so I have returned, it seemed like the most logical thing to do.

This is Fiona McCourt, formerly of Scotland. Fiona takes the grade 9 English classes, she has been doing so since the start of the school year. Her students would probably know her as being easily distracted during class (the clever ones will take advantage of this!) and a relatively easy-going teacher. Her coworkers would know Fiona to be quite bubbly - I'd imagine some people may find this annoying, others may find it endearing.

She has several loves in her life; her Westie (Podge), her motorcycle + her bicycle (which she rides to school in the warmer months), playing guitar quite badly, talking at length and Jane Austen.

I'd love to find her all the usual storylines! I'm still working on her survey/profile - it should be up in the next couple of days.
