Good morning, everyone -- day 2 of the Clubs and Organizations Fair will be in the auditorium again.

It seems there was quite a bit more debris than we'd originally thought -- clean up is still going on, and the rebuilding of the dormitories may be delayed a few days.

( 'All change is bad? It's not true, you know.' )

Good morning, everyone. Clean up on the dorms is still progressing, though it's rather slow. The more of you that help, the sooner you'll all be able to move back in, remember. At this rate, it looks like it'll be another two weeks before we can safely put you all back in.

If you're looking for something a little more fun, head on over to the auditorium at lunch time for the Clubs and Organizations Fair. You can pad your grade school resume while also finding things to take up your time which don't include vandalizing school property or escaping off to the city to misbehave.

I hope you all have a pleasant day otherwise.

When; Day 25, after lunch

[ ms. hinx is still running the announcements, folks. enjoy... ]

Clean up on the dormitory building continues this morning; those of you interested in lending a hand should report between classes and during your down time. The area has been fenced off for your safety. When you arrive to assist in clean up, meet a staff member at the fence opening and they will provide safety equipment and assign you to a task.

Please enjoy your classes for the day.

When; day 24
Rating; None yet
Characters; Alec and whoever finds him.
Summary; Alec reappears after having been eaten by the dragon the other day.
Log;


With all the havoc caused by the dragon it would seem logical that Alec would be around bitching and complaining about all the clean up that is now required, the ruining of the bushes and other problems like that. However he's been perfectly silent. In fact it's as if he wasn't even there.

Which he wasn't.

Now he is.

Something shifts oddly. A tingling in the air or perhaps feeling like something twisted around for a moment before snapping back into place. In a pile of rubble there is now an Alec laying in it.

He groans softly and mutters a "Fuckitall".

Then. "Where's m'coat?"

Coming back from the dead hurts like a bitch.

[ the morning announcement pipes through the cafeteria's speakers, but given by ms. hinx yet again. ]

Good morning, students.

If you would like to get back to living in your dorms more quickly, we will need your help to rebuild. We have the know-how, and we can instruct you in the various tasks needed to return the dormitory back to functioning, but in order to do so more quickly, we need more hands.

Ms. Polus, Mr. Pausin and I will be overseeing and rebuilding as we can. So, if you either know how or would like to learn how to hammer a nail, replace electric wiring and plumbing, paint, set roofing, etc, we won't be turning you away. Anyone with powers that will help them lift heavy items, move dangerous debris out of the way and help stabilize the working environment while we repair will be helpful. If you're not sure whether we can use you, please ask a staff member. We'll be beginning clean up through the day today.

When; 22nd Day Night
Rating; IDK R? It's a party

Summary; Lucy has set up a party on the beach near the lake. Come join her.
Log; ( Sorry for party rocking )

[ today, ms. hinx speaks directly to the students, gathered in the mess hall for breakfast: ]

Good morning, students. Mr Reginhard will be indisposed for another few days, as he searches for staff to fill the two newly opened positions, but if you have any questions or need help from the staff, you may ask myself, Ms. Polus or Mr. Pausin.

For now, we have arranged for you to reside within the school building, in a fallout shelter on Basement Level 1. There are cots, plenty of blankets and pillows; partitions to provide you some privacy; and you're welcome to use the various lockers in the gymnasium to store what belongings we have safely salvaged from the dorm building.

[ there aren't any morning announcements; the students are mostly rounded up inside the school building while the remaining staff and more responsible kids deal with the aftermath of the attack the previous night.

a help message had been sent out to the administration staff as the dragon had started to rip into the building, but the only response that came was from ms. hinx, urging that they were on their way back immediately, but with no estimated time of arrival or any further questions or advice. the students are still on their own for day 22.

thanks to gossip and information spreading across teenagers like wildfire, the consensus is now that the dragon was chasing prey that came out of the forested area, past the sports fields and into the dorms, where the dragon proceeded to destroy the southmost wing up along the face to the northern wing. why the prey had entered the dorm was still a mystery; and one that would probably be worth it to solve. because it is very odd that a fairy would venture that far out of the forests and risk its life just to get to the dorms, when there were a lot of other places to hide on the way there. ]


{ ooc: please continue tagging on the dragon post as long as you all would like! this week might be good for aftermath-type things; make sure if you haven't figured out an ending to a thread, that you either work something out oocly so that you can keep playing or refrain from making any concrete statements otherwise.

this is where it'll be beneficial to focus on characters talking about the previous night to figure out what happened; if you saw the fairy and the dragon, you can talk about those; if your character was wounded, you can look for someone to help them; if your character would take charge of the situation, they can try to start organizing people (where is everyone going to sleep? can they retrieve their belongings?).

the mod surprise is still yet to be uncovered, but you may handwave students having heard/seen the oni in general. }

When; Day 21: After the dinner time announcements
Rating; PG?
Characters; Lana Lang (nofairyprincess) and anyone who'd like to come see what's going on.
Summary; Lana reacts to the headmaster's announcements
Log; ( What just happened? )

Hello, students, this is your Headmaster speaking. Now that you're all settling down for supper, I have a three important announcements to make.

First, I've arranged for a pest control unit to do a sweep of the dormitories tomorrow. Please be aware that you will not be permitted to enter from the hours of 10am to 2pm. Make sure you take with you whatever materials you will need for those times.

Second, I've been informed that we've been remiss in conducting ourselves in the best interest of a particular student. I would like to personally apologize for this oversight, and inform you that I have immediately taken care of the situation.

Effective tonight, you will no longer be seeing Ms. Ara Van or Mr. Rex Nisemant in the hallways. Their positions will be temporarily filled by Ms. Lea Polus and Mr. Ben W. Pausin, respectively, until I can find suitable replacements who will not fail their duties and can act in the professional capacity we require from our staff.

In addition, Ms. Lea Polus will be filling in for the Abilities Lessons, and we may begin monitoring your other classes as well, to ensure that our staff is filling the required curricula.

You should be aware that you can always approach any staff member with requests for further lessons or other help when it comes to your school work, abilities, and personal problems. Our doors are always open to you!

Third, I'm afraid the administrative staff and I have to attend to an urgent matter off campus, and we will be leaving tonight. I leave the responsibility of campus and student care to the rest of the staff members left behind. Ms. Penelope Hinx will return prior to the rest of us in a few days and at that time will resume responsibility of the school

Any questions you may have should be directed to our lovely librarian, Ms Penelope Hinx -- she has left her contact information with the staff in preparation for any issues you may have.

Thank you, and enjoy playing, little mice, while this cool cool cat is away.

[ this post marks the official firing of ara van and rex nisemant, and the departure of the entire NPC staff from the campus for a few days. the pest control is a clue for the upcoming mod surprise. staff players, feel free to handwave being able to send ms. hinx any messages you'd need to -- there'll be a thread here that you can tag them into if you'd like. ]

When; Backdated to 2nd Sept
Rating; PG for now? Will be updated if necessary.
Characters; Suzanna Moon [ pinpoints ] and anyone who wants to come along
Summary; Moving in day! Prose and action welcome. :3
Log; ( I don't mean to frighten you off - it's just fun, it's just fun. )

We've made it through three weeks, isn't that exciting?

Now, on your first day off since the Oni attacks, we've got a special treat! Later tonight, after sundown, you can venture out into the gardens where you'll find we've set up a little walk-in movie of our very own.

But for now, enjoy the free time; venture out into the city, maybe bring your humble headmaster back some trinkets? I enjoy things that jingle, but not jangle. Or tea. You can never go wrong with trying a new kind of tea...

Ah, one final announcement -- we have a new student joining us today! Everyone, please help us make Suzanna Moon feel welcome on campus. Daenerys Targaryen, you'll have a new roommate upon her arrival.

[ Feel free to use this post to mingle in the dorms/on campus, at meal times, playing outside, etc. You can post any announcements you would normally post to the general bulletin board. You can also visit the offices of any of the NPCs. We'll be putting up a log for the movies separately. ]
