Cross-training

Meant to do this last night. Clearly did not.

So, Cross-training was meant to be assigned in January. However, I fail at um ... sticking to my guns when I can't remember the logic behind certain aspects of things? And I was dually enabled last night? So we'll be handing out cross-training assignments ... well, Nate said middle of this month but ... we'll see if we can wait the week. ;)

The assignments we have so far:

Lily will be cross-training with Severus for poisons and battle potions. There will be lulz.

Remus will be cross-training with Randy for scouting. We may possibly be pitching Emme into this as well if we decide it's likely for a student to have two apprentices. I think we got distracted from that discussion. Something shiny might've rolled by or I might've tangented. I'm bad for that.

Gideon will be cross-training with Mary in light cavalry/archery.

Amos is training Mary in Scouting.

On the apps, there were a few that were borderline but none that specifically stated if they were cross-training, so if your pup was borderline and wants to cross-train, comment here and we'll work something out. It might end up being with an NPC and something you just reference if we don't have anyone cast who can fill the bill. Or if any non-student sorts who trained want to take on an apprentice (if there was a fire elemental, Bella could train them, that sort of thing), comment here and let us know you're available.

Also, we do have a tiny plot bit coming up as soon as Nate finishes that post. It'll be something that might encourage one of the Slytherin instructors to encourage his students to brew lots and lots of fire potions. I'm just sayin'. We also have plans to have a winter carnival visiting Hogwarts, to bring news of the Outside World. OoooOOOoooooOOOoooh. But that's still being worked about. Because it was one of my random ideas.

Okay. That's it for right now 'cause I have a plot-post to write for [info]full_circle ::lure, lure:: (Hey. Fair is fair. I pimped this game over there. XD )

Quicky Reminder

Good Morning!

Except for the part where it isn't because it's morning.

That said, just wanted to remind you guys of a couple things:

1) RP posts need titles; the preferred format is "RP: Title Goes Here" There are three that need to be fixed, so if you two could do that, we'd appreciate it.

2) Posts need tags. This includes the OOC posts. We're big on tags.

And since I think it didn't make it past verbal discussion ... ::pause:: No, it totally didn't, because it started with "are you awake?" last night. AND I ALMOST WASN'T.

::cough::

Anyway, the Harvest Festival thread will go up on November 1st, and there will be two parts to it. The first part will be the first couple of peaceful hours of the festival, and the second post will be the one that goes up after the thing happens. That's going to be a TOTAL SURPRISE so we're not telling you. BUT THE GRYFFS PROBABLY SHOULDN'T DITCH EARLY. ::eyes Lily::

As always, suggestions and questions and other things are welcome, 'cause we like to hear what you have to say so we can adjust our funky AU world to fit everyone.

Okay. it's almost time for me to go to work ::sulks::
