JANUARY IN-SERVICE


JANUARY IN-SERVICE
Log Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation

A year has passed, and in the tradition of gratitude for the faculty and the graduate students who volunteer their time as teaching assistants, the administrations bring in a long luxurious french tradition for this first month: Truffles.

A truffle-infused gruyere fondue pot was placed within the center with a few types of bread (anyone who loses a piece in the fondue must serve everyone drinks), risotto with white truffles, Aracini stuffed with ricotta and white truffles. Even the desserts are truffle-themed - from the traditional Chocolate Truffles (that do not have actual truffles) to Panna Cotta with black truffle shavings and Black truffle Sabayon (a kind of frothy custard). Champagne, French-style Lattes and Hot Chocolate are offered.

There is Confit de Canard, Pain au Chocolat and Fondue Savoyarde for those who are allergic to the luxury ingredient.


( 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 February. )

Feast of St Valentine’s
Once again, it’s time for Daybreak’s annual Valentine’s celebration. With no daemons predicted to be crashing the party - unlike last year - the school administration calls upon the current student council to organize themes, food and entertainment as they see fit for the upcoming Valentine’s Day ball.

The Last Bastions
As construction of the Bowman Bastion is nearing completion, the US Government has requested a large shipment of Mythril and Orihalcum from the Outlands to finish the shell. Daybreak views this as a perfect opportunity for some of the student body to view the efforts to defend humanity as Nightfall approaches, and for faculty and more experienced students alike to add some extra fortification that the government may have missed. This event will be open to all students and faculty who wish to attend.

Paranormal Investigations
For those students and staff uninterested in construction work or normal classes, several locations around the world have reported paranormal outbreaks that have seen particular interest from self-professed ghost hunters. Students and faculty will be granted permission to visit those locations and serve various roles, whether as experts, witnesses, or fellow ghost hunters, with the express goal of keeping such people away from any real danger and metaphorically in the dark.

Or, well, scaring or pranking them so badly that they never want to trifle with such things again...but nobody would do that, right?


The faculty will also be discussing the prevalent vision that has been creeping into Seers's dreams.

Hey, hey, hey- hold up. [Jail points at him and frowns.] If you don't charge overtime, the rest of us can't charge overtime 'cause they know they can trick people into not asking for it.

Don't be a fucking scab, dude. You let that shit slide, next thing you know they'll be trying to get us to do work off the clock. [She shudders.]

[Truly, the real horror... is retail work.]

Oh please, Jailbreak, you're nobody's fool. We both know damn well you have the Academy in a binding agreement for your overtime hours.
nor_iron_bars: Voice aloud how good (And I love it)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2020-01-17 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
[She grins, looking pleased at the compliment.]

What, I can't care about my poor coworkers? Teacher solidarity and all that good shit.
arcadianvampire: (Facepalm)

[personal profile] arcadianvampire 2020-01-17 04:12 pm (UTC)(link)
Yes, solidarity about the principle of "dolla dolla bills, y'all."

[Not that he thinks it's wrong or anything. But he knows what Jail's about.]

But I suppose you are, at the very least, correct, if I am working as a team.
nor_iron_bars: Our careless heads (Stumbling but yeah)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2020-01-24 01:01 am (UTC)(link)
It's near and dear to my heart.

[What other principles do you expect from her, really? ...There's something inherently hilarious about hearing Valvatorez say "y'all" though.]

[Inwardly, she resolves to someday get video footage of him saying "y'ain't", for the good of terrible memes everywhere.]
bejustorbedead: (What the hell?)

[personal profile] bejustorbedead 2020-01-17 02:40 am (UTC)(link)
...Overtime?

[Clearly labor laws was not among his lessons]
subconmodo: (H - Rare Regret)

[personal profile] subconmodo 2020-01-17 02:49 am (UTC)(link)
Oh dear...

[He gets up and walks over, putting a hand on Ky's shoulder and staring at him solemnly.]

You and I need to have a little chat.

[This is the ultimate tragedy]
bejustorbedead: (Excuse u?)

[personal profile] bejustorbedead 2020-01-17 02:51 am (UTC)(link)
...?

[He peers up when Avery's hand lands on his shoulder with a look of utter confusion on his face]
subconmodo: (So here's the legalese)

[personal profile] subconmodo 2020-01-17 02:53 am (UTC)(link)
I'll keep it simple for now. Overtime pay exists. If you put in a certain amount of effort and some extra time, you get more pay. It's a bit more complicated than that, but we can go over the minutiae of labor law after all is said and done here.
nor_iron_bars: Run swiftly round (You think you're hot shit)

[personal profile] nor_iron_bars 2020-01-17 02:56 am (UTC)(link)
[Just. Slowly shakes her head.]

Aw buddy, no...

[Please help this poor bastard understand modern labor regulations, Avery, he's breaking her little mercenary heart.]
