I'd like to turn to a type of song that people like myself find ourselves subjected to with increasing frequency as time goes on, and that is the college alma mater. You'll find yourself at a reunion of grads, and old undergrads, and eh... somebody will start croaking out one of these things and everyone will gradually join in -- each in his own key, of course -- until the place is just soggy with nostalgia. Well, a typical such song might be called Bright College Days, and might go like this. Bright college days, O carefree days that fly, To thee we sing with our glasses raised on high. Let's drink a toast as each of us recalls Ivy-covered professors in ivy-covered halls. Turn on the spigot, pour the beer and swig it, and gaudeamus igit-ur. Here's to parties we tossed, To the games that we lost, We shall claim that we won them some day. To the girls young and sweet, To the spacious back seat of our beat up Chevrolet.

END OF EVENT [22 Aug 2012|12:02am]

Dearest godlings, the event is now over. At the stroke of midnight, everyone will be able to speak normally, except for those who were not affected in the first place.

Please remember our upcoming AC on the 1st, and be sure to check the dorms page as it's been shifted again for a final time. Once again, if anyone would like these third floor RA (Resident Assistant) positions, please drop us a line in the modbox and we'll consider your character.

Instead of toying with the idea for another month, I decided I'm going to drop Sussitanako. Her voice kind of left and was heavily replaced by Maya. She didn't have too many lines and if need be feel free to try to create them with any of my others; Horus and Maya being the most friendly.

-Thirteen

the queen is here. [22 Aug 2012|09:29pm]



this is poppy griffiths! she is 24, an english graduate student who works at the library. her older sister magnolia will hopefully be kicking around soon. she grew up in a very stepford wife piece of suburbia and was kicked out of her house for being a reincarnate in her senior year of college. thus she ended up transferring to montenegro and is entirely self-sufficient! thank you scholarships and loans ^^ she's a very bubbly, friendly girl with her bouts of kindness but she's also got a selfish streak and doesn't tend to think things through when she does them sometime. she's also dealing with a lot of guilt from her past life but she's trying her best to deal with that by pretending it never happened and running away from it as much as possible. fun!

she's now in her second year of the graduate program and her specialty is medieval literature which means she's been reading a lot of sir thomas malory and do not get her started on him. he's not exactly sensitive to her situation :P academic discussion she can do, but she can get a little defensive otherwise. she is also editor-in-chief of the clarion so that should net her a ton of buddies! she should have lots of friends who know her but don't really know her - part of what guinevere was, was a diplomat and a mediator, so she knows how to work people into that kind of thing. which now brings me to her two powers...
being the loveliest lady in the land, guinevere always looks attractive to other people. always. they may not necessarily be attracted to her but even if she's covered in mud and donkey crap, she looks pretty good. there's no such thing as a bad picture of her. she doesn't really know that this power exists and it's more of an effect than anything. she can't really turn it off!

and the second thing is sort of like the queen's command. she has a way of being able to convince people to do what she asks them to, like asking lancelot to leave and rescue her later to save himself, asking sir méléagant to spare the lives of the knights of the round table when he kidnapped her, or asking arthur to spare another's life, etc. you might notice these are all men - because of the concept of chivalry, men feel a slightly stronger pull to be obedient to her whims. you can shake it off but the compulsion is still there. she is a queen.
she needs tons of girlfriends, an ex-boyfriend or two, maybe some people who don't like her at all XD i want all of it! whatever you can think of

Because, really, what’s the point in Heracles if you can’t indulge in a little gratuitous shirtlessness?


Anyway, yes, this is Erin with her second character, Heracles! In this life, he is Sean, the oldest Hart sibling, following his brothers to their school. He’s 24, a freshman business major who has spent the past 6 years of his life travelling places and seeing stuff and becoming a better person and junk. He spent most of his life as a fairly douche-y Golden Boy athlete, but his travels have broadened him some and taught him the value of other people’s experiences and all that jazz. Also, he realized he was Heracles while holding a baby lion in Africa. So, realizing he had once been the Protector of Man caused him to grow up to a certain extent as well.

He’s still a major athlete (he’ll be playing varsity basketball, doing jr varsity track and MMA), and can still be insanely impulsive, loud and speak before thinking, so I’m sure all sorts of people will become familiar with him quickly! Also, if your car breaks down, he can drag it back to your dorm for you because his powers are as follows...

Strength: Come on. He’s Heracles. It would be absurd if this wasn’t one of his strengths. Granted, Sean probably isn’t capable of literally holding the world on his shoulders these days, but he’s been known to hunker down and lift an Escalade up on two wheels so one of his buddies can check out what’s going on underneath. Now, this is a semi-controlled power – Sean has to be trying to achieve a great feat of strength, he’s not going to accidentally crush someone’s hand while shaking it or anything like that.

Valour: Strictly speaking, “valour” translates to “courage, especially in military battle”. In Sean’s case, he is physically not able to nor does he have the desire to back down from a fight. Or a challenge. Or needing to make the final basket in the last ten seconds of the basketball game. Or, really, anything that could later be deemed as “epic” while telling the story.

Sex Appeal: Whether or not this is an actual power or simply a combination of Sean’s ability to lift a car onto two wheels along with something he made up in his head… that is something that is up for debate. Maybe it’s just that confidence is sexy. But Heracles attracted men and women left, right and centre everywhere he went and Sean tends to do the same. He’s a little dismayed about the “men” part of that statement.


He needs everything - friends, flirtations, people he met during his world travels, worshippers, people who wish he could walk without sounding like a herd of elephants, etc etc... THROW IT AT ME!
