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 ♥

Rudy, on the other hand, will make a vague remark about clones and go back to his business avoiding overzealous coaches.

NOW THERE IS A HORRIFYING THOUGHT.

Also, re: Tommy and Billy the foreign princes...Rosella is also from overseas with family ties to royalty, so if you wanted, we could assume they've at least heard of each other? Maybe not enough to recognize each other on sight, but somewhat vaguely aware of each other?

Rosella's high-society grandparents probably sit around rustling their newspapers with great disdain and bitching about Tommy and Billy's grandfather's politics.

Magneto politics are usually pretty easy to pin down. MUTANTS > YOUR FACE. Cough.

Also he's the king of Spain.
