Back to School You Fool

A school post just for you! As you know, this Tuesday, Wednesday, and Thursday is Back to School You Fool. To recap:

24-26; Back to School You Fool
Day 1: Congratulations you made it through the first day of school! But now it's Tuesday and it's time to really get to know your teachers and peers, because they're going to get to know you better whether you like it or not.

Day 2: Clubs clubs clubs! They want you to join! Honor societies, sororities, fraternities, geek campaigns, magic circles, everyone's got something to offer and they want you to join their ranks...if you're good enough anyway.

Day 3: Today you get to find out if you were up to snuff for the club of your choice. Be prepared to shine or cry.

Here is a list of schools in which your characters may enroll as students, teachers, or general staff from custodian to counselor (however no character is allowed to fulfill a head position like Headmaster or Principal as these will be taken by deities). They are the same institutions from last year's Fast Times at City High curse, so if you were in the game at the time and wish to carry over continuity from that curse you may, just please be clear and work with other players who may want to play with something different this year! Keep in mind that these are just the major city schools complete with new (but temporary) buildings located within walking distance of the Square. You are free to have characters come from smaller institutions (one or two moderately sized buildings instead of complete campuses) of your own creation within reason, but if you're unsure don't hesitate to ask in this post! The City will simply make space for all the schools in the way the City magically expands sometimes for curses.

Characters may revert to younger ages or age up to fulfill positions of your choosing. Characters may also be affected in a way that makes them believe they have always been in school, complete with an AU background history of having gone to one of the elementary schools or having transferred from a teaching position at the public school to a private school, etc. etc. Feel free to run with it!

The Club Event on Wednesday is an egalitarian event put on by various organizations from all the schools. This is where you come in! You may have your character form a club or become a member of one--or try to become a member of one. Clubs can be as easy to get into or as hard to get into as you like. Clubs can have a set of requirements for entry or a single test characters need to perform for acceptance. Make it as welcoming or as elite as you'd like. There will be music and food and entertainment venues in the Square courtesy of the Deities. Sign up is not necessary for attendance, so even unaffected characters can crash the party. You are free to have your characters hold their own private promotions parties as well in the spirit of sorority, fraternity, or general school rivalry.

These campuses will disappear and the city layout will return to normal at midnight (12:00am/00:00 EST August 27), but if you want characters may keep a small possession as a souvenir of their time. This can be their school uniform, pompoms, or a club pin for example, but it must be something of no significant magical, scientific, or monetary value.

Now without further ado, the schools!

The City University - surprise, every deity is a dean
co-ed university, undergrads and grads

Westerberg High - Principal Lina
co-ed public high school

Ohtori Academy - High Master Sabine
co-ed private high school

Trinity Hall Girls School - Headmaster Bertol
private girls school, all grades

Cutlers Grammar School - Headmaster Laszlo
private boys school, all grades

Bikini Bottom Jr. High - Principal Mouse
co-ed public middle school

Takadanobaba Elementary - Principal Mouse
co-ed public elementary school

Comment with your character, your character's position as teacher or student, their class and their teaching style, or your character's student year and if they have been at the school or are a transfer, etc.

For clubs, comment with a club your character would like to run and under which school. There can be multiple clubs with the same focus for each school and clubs from different schools are welcome to compete with each other for new members!

You do not have to sign up to a school or a club in order to participate in the curse! This is purely for ease of reference and organization which some players may find helpful. Thanks and hope you guys have fun with this one ♥

And for the sake of jogging memories: the Fast Times at City High post

For the sake of the wonderfully organized: player contributed list ♥

Oh man I'm still reeling from the Grab Bag Weekend ajfdkla; Why are events here so awesome, Poly.

Merry Weather is headed to Trinity Hall Girls School, as a sixth grader. She will be a (junior?) officer of the Girls Going Places club, which is just a nice little club for outgoing girls just like her who have interests in exploring, adventuring, and all around safe, happy, supportive, and nurturing girl fun time. Anyone who's interested in running this club with Merry or applying, come poke me! :'3

omg poke poke~

You can count on Uni applying! The "safe" and "happy" parts really appeals to her xD

/pokes back~!

It's kind of like a mini sorority, really 8D

[identity profile] witheringlily.livejournal.com 2010-08-23 08:43 am (UTC)(link)
That'll be good for her~ Uni's been around big, bad men who are pretty hot in their nice suits for too long! XD

Girl time will be perfect for her, then~ Get rid of those bad influences 8

Lucy is gonna be a senior at that school (I'm aging her up a bit) but that sounds like something she would be like...a student mentor over, maybe?

[identity profile] ms-marycontrary.livejournal.com 2010-08-23 08:55 pm (UTC)(link)
Yeah, that's fine! :D I was thinking since the club would be for all grades, there would be representatives of the younger and older students in the officers \o/ So Lucy could definitely be one of the older officers, or yeah, a mentor, if you'd prefer.

Your bro will be over at Ohtori Academy, Merry, and a little concerned that he can't keep more of an eye on you........and your club shenanigans!

[identity profile] ms-marycontrary.livejournal.com 2010-08-23 08:57 pm (UTC)(link)
We just have honest clean fun, really~

I just imagined Merry walking to the Academy so she can go home with Cain, and 'interrupting' his attempts to flirt with some girl ffff.

♥! Baww, so cute ;; I want this now!

Oooh, a giant bonfire that might possibly get out of control to kick off club activities 83333

8D Me too! It will be the perfect chance to use this ^ icon more xD

"Merry! I didn't expect to see you so soon. How was school?" /forced grin

"It was fine, but I thought you were supposed to pick me up today, Big Brother, not the other way around." /LOOMS DESPITE HER SMALL SIZE

If Girls Going Places needs a female teacher-type to sponsor it, I've decided to make Lulu Bell the humorless French teacher? If anyone tries to make the club anything other than safe, happy, supportive, and nurturing, she would be Very Displeased.

[identity profile] ms-marycontrary.livejournal.com 2010-08-24 07:12 am (UTC)(link)
That would be excellent~ Kind of like the secretly mothering type of teacher, right? 83

Yes! A rather cold and aloof one, but no one's going to mess with the girls.
