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! )

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 ♥

 Hello Poly! I'm Callie and I'll be bringing you Nunnally from Code Geass. She's Lelouch and Euphie's crippled little sister, and she may inadvertently give your character diabetes from excessive exposure to cuteness. Aside from being a bit of a human lie detector, she's pretty harmless unless you do something to her that requires Big Brother stepping in.

I'm taking her from just after a major spoiler in the last episode and about half of Nunnally's other icons are also spoilers, so I'm really sorry if I accidentally ruin the series for someone! If you want me to watch it when I tag with your characters, just let me know and I'll make my best effort to stifle my tl;dr. ^^'

You can find me on AIM at shinsokudolce if you need me for plotting purposes or just want to chat. I'll intro her tomorrow when I'm more awake, but in the meantime please friend add crippledroyalty or do the hover trick. I look forward to playing with all of you! ♥

We all like watching tv, right? And we like getting together with friends and talking about the shows we like, right? Honestly, what's more fun than marathoning a show with your buds and missing most of the dialogue 'cause you're laughing too hard?

Well, okay, missing the dialogue isn't fun, but the rest is.

It is in that spirit of fun and goodtimes that I present poly_watch, a group for interested Polyites to get together, watch and discuss Avatar: The Last Airbender. Why Avatar? Because I'm in the Avatar crew, of course, and you should be too! Most of the Avatar crew has talked about wanting to rewatch the show to firm up their voices (myself included), and a few people have mentioned being interested in apping but needing to rewatch first, so I thought: "...why not do it together?"

So starting this Friday, I'll be posting episode discussions every Friday, Saturday, and Sunday. You can watch those episodes over the weekend and discuss the same day; you can watch the episodes early and wait for the discussion posts to come up; you can just read the discussion posts and not watch at all (not that I recommend that, but it is an option. Ceiling Cat isn't going to tattle on you to me).

So please toddle on over to poly_watch and join us for fun and good times! The cake, unfortunately, is a lie, but we do have cookies! :D

Questions? Comments? Concerns? Hit me up here, here, or send me a message.

Well, I'm back. I falcon punched life in the face, told it to stop being stupid and all was okay again.

I return in time to possibly go back on hiatus later. lmao.

Anyway, hi. This means C.C. is back to her trolling ways. What'd I miss??

Soo... since I'm CLEARLY a masochist lD;;; and OCD... I complied everyone's status for the high school plot into a list. OTL I was going crazy looking at all the comments and so I hope this helps some of you to plot easier and etc.

Forgive me for not adding every detail but I hope it helps! Let me know if something isn't accurate or you want to be added to the list (if you could link me to your comment in the mod post that would be awesome!)!

Mods, if this isn't appropriate then feel free to take it down or if it's ok, feel free to add a connecting link to your post! Thanks!

It's me! Master, Chris and Mike-mun with a new guy.

This is Roy. He's an irritable Irish geekity geek from the show The IT Crowd. He's also Moss's best friend.

He's also way better than me at technology stuff. Note: If there is anyone here who is a Photoshop whiz, I could really use someone to put an 'r' into Roy's last name in his header in his journal. Into that picture. Yeah. I don't have the textless image, or the font name but....idk, it's...a challenge?

Aaaaanyway, hover or friend add madforcraic

TAKES A DEEP BREATH

Like a bandaid, here it comes. I've mostly been putting this off because of the Blue Light (and because I love him so fucking much) but I haven't been doing much with him, and he's getting less and less social, so I think it's time before all I'm doing is squatting with him.....


friend remove playstheblues

Thank you for everyone who played with him over the past years. He's been in Poly for almost three of them and I loved playing him through the good and the bad. I'm sorry to the people who had close CR with him, Alexis, Rosella, Penny...all his ladies.

His goodbye post is coming up just now, if you wanna say goodbye, and he's finishing up a log, but...sob.

weeeeep. Bloo.

I realize how poorly timed this is, given that I went through with commenting on the planning post, but after some consideration, I felt it best to do this before any of those posts went up. I'm sorry to say that for now, I'm dropping Angel and bowing out of Poly, seeing as he's my only character. Apologies to castmates and CR, but it's very unfair to y'all that I stick around when my tagging these past few months has suffered greatly due to that crazy little thing called life. When you can't keep up, it's time to hang up your spurs. :(

Had a lot of fun here, Poly ♥, but for now:
