ANNOUNCEMENTS: Jan 21

  • As the mods are having some personal emergencies, teacher responses are going to be delayed. We're prioritizing characters who need a response for plot reasons, or whom we already wrote something for. If you don't get a response tomorrow and did need something specific, hit us up on the Dropbox.

  • We've made a few changes to Character Limits and Activity Requirements. They are: a) players who've been in the game for less than a month can only app up to two characters, b) you only need a minimum of 6 comments for a comment thread, and c) the increased activity requirement for five characters is no longer permanent. Thank you Meggie and Alex for being my guinea pigs to see how well that worked. I'm sorry for making you cry.

  • Due to how many athletic, muscular kids we have, we're retconning that the school has a weight room. Mr. Thorn oversees it, and you can't use the large machines without a partner to spot you. There are showers, and a small sitting area with a magical water dispenser and a coffee pot.

  • The school is currently interviewing for a counsellor, who will be a brand new NPC and staff member starting sometime next month! Some responses from teachers may say that the student is being recommended for counselling, and this is what it means. There are a number of characters with visible issues that the teachers have noticed, and they'll be asked to attend counselling. If your character would like to attend counselling despite not receiving a gentle order to do so, there will be an opportunity to request they be put on the list. The current characters who staff will ask to attend counselling are:
    • Ennis Harper
    • Katya Ivanova
    • Casper Kim
    • Diego Morales
    • Riley Stamper
    • Sylvester Stoker

1. I love you guys

2. I will have you know my characters all hit activity already. But also thank god. But also I just want it on the record that I'm a badass. But no really also thank god.

3. Is the new weight room also to cut down on the number of kids running at all times. You kids are a menace

1. We love you too~ ♥

2. SO DID I THIS MONTH, I AM SO PROUD OF US. But that first time it was nearly the death of me :(

3. It's also because there's no way Diego got that shredded from running alone. He's vain as hell and works out just to look good.

I hope everything gets better and please take your time and be okay :( ♥!!

IF it is easier please please feel free to ignore Leo's PTC answer completely because he gets too much attention anyway and also what are they going to say, hello, you have Overachiever Fever, K bye.

That said he is so happy this weight room exists so thank you for that too ♥

None of Chris's teachers realize he relied on a rock to cope for three solid months there so he's good. He don't need no counseling. He figured that shit out on his own

But is it possible for prefects to suggest roommates for counseling? I'm asking for future reference with no real plot in mind

[info]goosemods
2017-01-21 11:35 pm UTC (link)
Yeah, I imagine it wouldn't be out of line if a prefect went to their Head of House with concerns about a roommate? :|a Like the final call would be with the HoH, but they'd definitely take it seriously if, say, Rafael was like "I think Chris is emotionally dependent on a rock, maybe he should talk to someone" I SAY WITH NO REAL PLOT IN MIND.

Meggie is going to find this and yell at me.

Ryan feels SO SUCCESSFUL at hiding how fucked up he really thinks. YES. Ahem.

I love you both and I hope things are okay! ♥.

I am kinda sad about the activity because all I have left to hit with is Marilyn. I WAS SO GONNA DO THAT THING. I'm still gonna do that thing, actually. But you're too nice to us.

RYAN THAT'S NOT SOMETHING TO BE PROUD OF :( but yeah we kept it to the kids who are Obviously Acting Out but if anyone down the line wants some teacher intervention they can totally come ask us for help in the dropbox ;u;

Thank you. ♥ Things are okay! Just haven't been able to devote any time to RP stuff today or last night. :(

oh my god you're all nuts djkfh IF IT MAKES YOU ALL FEEL BETTER YOU CAN ALL GIVE ME 3 THIS MONTH AND I WILL TELL YOU I'M PROUD OF YOU like the proud mom i am

I hope everything's all right. ♥ :( Obviously, no worries and no rush. Life > Game.

Aaaand Casper legitimately needs the weight room and the counselor, so thank you! Given everything that's been going on with him lately, I think he'll actually go to the counselor without a fight too. Which is nice. Since he didn't have anyone come for PTC, will he just receive a direct notice about this? And will this be mentioned to his auntie at all? Thanks!

Yes, Ms. Rhee will inform him of the situation, and personally ask he attend counselling. His aunt will be told unless Casper asks Ms. Rhee not tell his family.

(I'm going to do a chunk more journals this weekend for my activity, yay! Sticking to four was Heather making a smart decision for once!)

1. oh jeez, hope everything is going okay. sending y'all good vibez.

2. i was so scared i wasn't gonna make activity, so i am thankful for this change! as awesome as it was to have my finger in every pie this month, i accidentally spent way too much time on ij relative to my workload, lmao. damn you for being interesting, honestly.

3. is the weight room open all the time? asking for any youths who, like high school me, were too scared to lift in front of their jacked classmates, looool

4. look at this list of problem children, god bless

3. The weight room is right next to Thorn's office and as long as he's around the lodge, it's open. It opens at 7:00 AM because that's when he arrives. Certain trusted seniors in Outdoor Education may have a key to get in when Thorn's not there, similar to the Divination tower. For now, that'll be Diego so he can act as a glorified NPC and let people in.

Long story short, students can definitely find time in there to be relatively alone throughout the day, but it's not available 24/7.

besjknfwlbefhsjn quinn was bemoaning the lack of a counsellor like five days ago. she's going to take chris by the shoulders and shove him into their office.

AND THIS ALSO SOLVES THE MYSTERY OF WHERE CASEY SPENDS ALL OF HIS TIME. answer: checking himself out in the weight room's mirror.

but most importantly i hope things get sorted out and better and we love you ♥

Ah, therapy. Sebastien's natural habitat. (His mom 100% could have made some recommendations while she was up for PTC.)

And, seriously. No worries about the PTC responses! Real life trumps happyfuntimes every time. I hope that things settle for you guys quickly! ♥

oh my god, not to belittle personal emergencies but I've been sick since friday and was so scared to log in and see how much I'd missed and i didn't miss much and i'm so relieved.

BUT I LOVE YOU GUYS I HOPE EVERYTHING IS OK.

that being said, does this mean I can backdate character responses to their pt conferences once teacher responses come out? pretty please?
