Gooseberry High (OOC)

I was going to do like fancy pretty HTML for this but I've been stewing over it all week and that put me a week behind so you all get A SERVICEABLE BUT UNATTRACTIVE SPREADSHEET instead.

~Check Your Teams' Scores Here~

( james madison voice: HIGHLIIIGHTS )

Cabin searches! All the Heads of House, plus Ms. Lilywhite and Mr. Covington, go to perform searches on cabins and lockers, looking for the stolen jewelry. But if they find contraband along the way, you'll have to face the consequences!

Luckily, Quinn Cunningham's plan was a success, allowing students across campus to hide their drugs and alcohol. What this means is that your character won't get in trouble unless you want them to. Staff is focused on finding the stolen jewelry, they're not interested in a witch hunt. As such, any minor offenses are likely to get off with a warning.

Locker searches will be done in the morning, during breakfast, with cabin searches happening immediately after. Cabin searches start with the freshmen cabins, and move up towards the senior cabins. Students will be asked to wait out by the fire pit while their cabin is being searched. Only male staff will search the boys' cabins, and only female staff will search the girls' cabins. Once they're finished, students will be allowed to return to their cabin. If contraband or something else troubling is found (i.e. something that makes staff concerned for the well-being of a student), they will be pulled aside privately to talk.

The search will be performed with Detection Spells, which will scan for contraband. There will be spells that will detect Dark artifacts, and can inspect areas in a X-ray-like fashion. They will automatically flag contraband items and concealment spells of any kind. If the spells get a hit on a forbidden item or any traces of spells meant to hide, deceive or disguise, the drawer/bed/box/etc. will be searched. If staff has an issue with something you own, e.g. a locked container with suspicious spells on it, they'll ask you to open it so they can inspect it. Long story short, your contraband must be out of the cabin to avoid being found.

As for who knew this was coming, yesterday...

Mr. Hightower told Ravinder Dhaliwal and Sun-mi Choi.

Mr. Merrill told Cecil Honeychurch, with the assumption he would inform Quinn Cunningham and Jesse McBride.

Ms. Rhee told Magdalen Gillis.

Ms. Vector told... nobody. You kids are accountable for yourselves.

• I'm about to tackle the Divination Tower! Thank you all for always being so patient. ♥


• Absolute final call for the lottery event! We'll be selecting someone for it tonight, and the post announcing what happened will be up in the morning.


• The Masquerade Ball is this Friday! Use this post to look for dates and make plans if you need to. Also feel free to ask us if you have any questions on the mechanics of the Anonymity Charm. You can also ask Calvin or Ravi IC questions, as the resident mod-played nerds and part-time glorified NPCs.


• There will be a crafting session on Wednesday, February 22. Supplies will be provided by Event Committee with some of the extra funds accumulated by the flower delivery service. Do you guys want an IC/OOC for this? If so, can a kind volunteer player take a little pressure off the mods and post it? If no one is able to, then Mina will be the host. Thank you, Ivy and Laurel, for hosting the crafting party!

Time honored nosy mod tradition: Who are your characters' dates? ♥
