DECEMBER IN-SERVICE
DECEMBER IN-SERVICE
Log Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation
It’s December, and that means it’s time for the faculty to relax a bit while they talk business with an office party!
The main culinary event for the day is a potluck, where all staff are encouraged to bring ingredients to contribute to making a soup that everyone will share. Whether this is a good idea is yet to be determined. Nobody will die of food poisoning, probably.
In addition, there’s some entertainment to go along with it - a raffle, of sorts, that involves contributing some reasonably valuable alcohol to a collective pot and splitting into teams before drawing numbers to see who the last team standing is (and therefore, who wins all the alcohol).
Students are, of course, able to infiltrate the meeting as usual. But do you really want to?
( Student players may tag top levels to try to infiltrate the meeting if they wish. While students ICly will not be aware of the missions until around the 1st of January, they may still discuss OOCly in the post here.
The following open events are available for the month of January. )
In Sheep's Clothing
A pro-Nightfall cult intending to sway more impressionable students to their side has finally decided to put their plan into action (and completely ruin New Years for a lot of people). A not-insignificant amount of students, fearing further danger and the fact that their fight may in fact all be for nothing (or they can no longer be protected), have fallen prey to these extended manipulations - tracking them down and convincing them to come home is the first priority.
This event is a player plot. The plotting post for this event is here.
Dawnbreaking Party
Though the last year has been one of difficulties and dangers, it has also been one of great heroism and victory. Daybreak has been an instrumental force in stopping two Heralds, among other threats, and in lieu of the traditional assembly, a party to celebrate the exceptional work of their students is being held. For some, this might be an opportunity to reflect proudly on their academic achievements; for others, it might be their accomplishments on more unusual and combative areas that they feel deserve praise.
No matter what, though, the Academy has made it clear that the students and faculty are people they are proud to have under their banner, and the nature of this party certainly reflects that. They offer the traditional lavish spread of food and drink, of course, but they’ve also prepared entertainment that includes giving the students the run of the local amusement park for the day.
Residual Christmas Cheer
Demons in full Christmas attire have been spotted terrorizing local shopping centers, apparently under the mistaken impression that they’re ‘ruining Christmas’. Thoroughly trounce them and give them a lesson that they might learn...though, on the other hand, they might just be back again for some other holiday. At least it’s a fairly straightforward problem?

POTLUCK INGREDIENTS

(They're at least some of the highest quality ones he's got though, he's not going to stiff his coworkers.)no subject
If anyone actually lets him USE it they will actually taste quite good, but will also cause anyone who eats it to glow faintly for an hour or two.]
no subject
no subject
Or, at least, he's pretty sure they are.
As someone who has only recently graduated from always eating takeout to making instant meals, Avery has mostly gone by what he's pretty sure they look like.

[She's already drunk some of it.]
no subject
Introductions!
She's here and it is a damn treat. ]
Yoo-hoo, anybody home? Ooh, it smells good in here. [ Don't mind her, she's just going to step inside, grinning the whole time. ]
Wow, I didn't know some of you still taught here!
no subject
In a very professor sort of way.]
Ms. Browning, you have somehow managed to be both late and early at the same time. I would normally call this an accomplishment in absurdity, but I believe for you, it's just another day.
[What's a bit of teasing one of his favorite former students hurt, anyway?
It's good to see you here among us. Try the soup, it's divine.
[Which means it has sardines in it. She probably knows this.]
no subject
[ Yes please, praise her more. And if he's going to be professorial, then she has no choice than to respond in kind. ]
Ohhh? Did you make it yourself?
[ SHE KNOWS THAT SMELL, VAL. ]
no subject
[She stands up and pulls out a nearby chair for Excellen with a flourish and what is quite possibly the most suggestive wink ever achieved by mankind.]
no subject
I hope I didn't make you wait for long, darling. I wanted to make sure I looked my best, just for you.
no subject
Worth every second for you, beautiful. Besides- [She grins.] -who doesn't like to put the "fashionable" in "fashionably late"?
[She pushes the chair in for her, then flops casually back down into her own, flipping it around so she can straddle the seat and rest her arms on the back of the chair, facing Excellen.]
Good timing, anyway- back just in time for the holidays. Got any plans to party, this year?
no subject
Welcome back, Ms Browning. [ He remembers most people by nature, but he especially remembers people who shot over his shoulder at close range once. ] I hope your classes won't result in too much work for me.
no subject
Oh Mister Ekky, don't worry about that, it'll be fine! Besides, it's good to keep on your toes, right?
[ These are two very different statements, Excellen.......... ]
no subject
[Because that thing only made him want to stick around all the more out of spite.]
no subject
[ She's not the one with the devil's luck for gambling here. It's not her fault she assumed he'd get bored and go off and do... whatever it is he does. ]
Introduction
Lt. Kyosuke Nanbu, Federation, ATX Team Leader, call-sign Assault 1. As you are all no doubt aware, I have been stationed here along with some of my squadron to assist in the training of the students of Daybreak, and to provide assistance should an emergency arise. I will be conducting combat classes. I look forward to working with you all.
no subject
Come on, Kyosuke, you don't have to be so formal. We're teachers just like the rest of them. Why don't you tell them something about yourself.
[ Surely that won't go horribly. ]
no subject
I suppose you're right, it would be impolite of me not to offer a more open greeting. Ahem.
I've been with the Federation for about seven years, you may rely on me for all information pertaining to our operation as we are here to support you. I have no hobbies or civilian interests of note. In my spare time I analyze combat data to refine our operations.
[ Nailed it. ]
no subject
If the rest of you have no concrete plans for Christmas, I was thinking about clearing the snow around the faculty dormitories a little.
[ This sounds like the most boring thing in the world, HOWEVER ]
And it has to go somewhere, so it would be a good opportunity for a snowball fight...
no subject
I was just going to try using a homemade flamethrower. I've always wanted to give that trick with hairspray and a lighter a shot.
no subject
[Otherwise the results can be... unfortunate.]
I got extra hairspray and spare lighters. If you wanna donate some cans, we could try to rig up a big boi.
[This might just end up creating a bomb, but hey. What's life without risks?]
no subject
no subject
[And a video camera.]

[Other than... you know, homemade flamethrowers being totally rad.]
Besides, I call claim to all your Queen merch should you die in a fiery ball.

[She didn't know there was Queen merch involved here, this is important.]

[Of course Grimm would find a safe spot. But think of the explosion! The fireworks!]

[ He doesn't want to treat you people for smoke inhalation, hairspray inhalation or burns. Or a selection of those things. ]

[He was around last winter but it hadn't really been something on the mind. He'd never really experienced snow before then.]
My video call with the others won't be until a bit later and I'll be meeting Imelda then, so I can join you all in the early evening if you're still going.
