Hey Poly,

I think it's time for me to bow out of the game now. :( For some reason, Poly and I never seem to mesh well. But I've had a blast the short time I've been here and I've had nothing but good times with all of you. Thanks for putting up with me and my flaky tags, and maybe I'll see some of you around elsewhere.

Stay classy, Poly! <3

School's in session and it's time to buckle down and study!

For a quick recap:

17; Fast Times at City High (class)
Citizens are now a part of the network of learning institutions in the City. There's a public school, a private school, a university, and everything in between! Whether citizens are members of the student body or faculty is completely up to you. It's a day before exams so study hard!

18; Fast Times at City High (exams)
The students are put to the test with a series of examinations crafted to perfection by the evil faculty. This is the last challenge they must face before they can claim the true prize!

19; Fast Times at City High (dance)
The spring dance is here, finally a way for everyone, student and teacher, to relax! Dates, dresses, and dances are a’plenty at the celebration in the Square!

In this post is a list of schools that your character will be able to attend: please note that no playable character can take the position of a principal of the school, as that will be filled by a deity! Characters can be teachers, students, or other members of faculty (every school needs a guidance counselor, right?), or even just staff (JANITORS)! The schools will be on campuses that magically show up for the curse!

Your character can also be aged up or down for the duration of this curse, and they're welcome to have elaborate AU backstories that they will think is real for this curse.

The dance on the 19th is City-wide and put on by the deities, so don't worry about it being school-specific. It will take place in the Square with food and drink available, and unaffected characters are welcome to come too!

Campuses will disappear on midnight but small, mundane souvenirs of the schools (like pompoms or corsages) can remain as long as they're not too wild (you cannot keep the school statue!)

Each school will have it's own comment and you can reply with your characters beneath! Plan, plot, make friends, enemies, and enjoy!

character name :: character lj :: position (teacher, student, etc.)

You may include details in your single comment about the subject your character is teaching and their teaching style, or you may include your character's year and if they have been at the school or are a transfer, etc. Please try to keep spam in the school threads at a minimum! You may run wild with discussion outside of the school threads, make a new thread to this post at will.

Another note: you do not have to sign up in order to participate in the curse or to have your character at one of these schools! This is purely for ease of reference and organization which some players may find helpful. Have fun!

Well I'm back...later and more sore than I expected. Since I was mostly on a come home, shower, cry into a bowl of soup, and sleep kind of trance till my body toughened up I don't know what's been going on here.

Mind filling a brother in? I'll trade stories from working on the ramp.

HI POLY IT'S ME AGAIN

Yep, it's Marion with yet another obscure character from the eighties you might not have heard of... I am nothing if not predictable!




Say hello to Turlough! He's a companion from ye old years of Doctor Who, specifically from the Fifth Doctor's reign (yes, the one with the decorative vegetable). He's a bitchy alien ginger who's been trapped in English public boarding school for some time. He also may have tried to kill the Doctor one or two times, but that's behind them now He's a trouble magnet with a tendency to get himself in the worst possible situations and will gripe about it 'til eternity. But the Doctor seems to believe there's good in him, and so should you!

Turlough's been my baby for some time now, so I'm really happy to be sharing him with you all.




And for those of you unfamiliar with Turlough and want the cliffnotes, this about sums it up:







xoxo forever you crazy kids,

Marion
