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.

[From seemingly out of nowhere, right in the middle of the fight, in swoops a wildly grinning undead man. And he's throwing his arms around Avery.]

You did it! I can't believe it! And while I was still alive too haha! I'm so proud of you, mi amigo! Both of you! Ahah, this is so great, I'm so glad to hear this.

[He lets go and starts walking back. He may not be speaking to her but Urtz has front row to all of this.]

You guys go on ahead, you figure out all this spooky scary stuff, I've got to go practice my guitar.

[He winks.]

Bring me back a shovel so I can dig a grave and bury myself in it while you're at it, why don't you!

[He barks a laugh at that remark, not at all sorry. Wow, he's never seen Ekkehardt look so flustered.]

Oh, I'm sure you can think of something much better to do with your time than that, my friend.

[He makes it to the door, does twirl as though in a waltz, and gives a wave.]

So long, you two~

[As he turns the corner, the entire faculty meeting can hear him sing; What color is the sky? Ay, mi amor, ay, mi amor...]

[Well that was weird. Still, it's probably not importan-

Wait. Hold on. Why does Ekke actually look flustered? And for, that matter, why does Avery? All Héctor said was-]

[After having a mini-crisis in the span of less than a minute, all she can do at first is let loose the biggest sigh imaginable and turn her now incredibly tired gaze back to Avery and Ekkehardt. It's also worth noting that she's actually back in her original form. There's no way she could possibly keep it up after THAT.

Not to mention Avery's form is that last one she wants to assume giving this new development.]


You know, in hindsight, I really shouldn't be this surprised.

[And yet she is! Imagine that.]
spelleton: (☀ like a moth to the flame)

A+++

[ Ekkehardt, by this point, has his face buried in his hands because this is literally the worst.

His voice is muffled.

Atchison if you still have that knife I gave you for Christmas you can just stab me with it and give me a vastly easier issue to deal with.

[[ He's just going over there and grabbing his arm. His voice is barely audible to anyone except Avery. ]

I didn't walk out and leave you to deal with all this nonsense yourself so you don't get to leave either.

[ Never mind that he'd probably let him go if he really insisted but come ON ]
subconmodo: (H - Soon-day-ray)

[he hisses right back]

Says the guy who tried to get out of it via knife injury!
spelleton: (☼ so tonight i'm gonna cut it out)

[personal profile] spelleton 2020-01-20 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
I didn't intend to leave after being stabbed, thank you very much.

[ He sounds mildly affronted that Avery would think something like being stabbed would stop him doing anything. ]

Even if I did have them it wouldn't change the reaction, I assure you.

[ weird thing to say but ok ]

[ At least Avery's not trying to throw himself out the window any more.......

He folds his arms.

What.
subconmodo: (H - I smell bullshit)

[personal profile] subconmodo 2020-01-20 06:52 pm (UTC)(link)
I am perfectly capable of taking someone out of commission with a stab wound to the neck, thank you.
spelleton: where to fly (☀ i speak to birds and tell them)

[personal profile] spelleton 2020-01-20 06:58 pm (UTC)(link)
I'm not doubting your capabilities, I'm just saying that taking serious injuries isn't usually a barrier to fulfilling my duties.

From a gaping neck wound...

You know what? You're not allowed to comment on my infirmary visits anymore!
spelleton: (☀ follow me into the endless night)

[personal profile] spelleton 2020-01-20 07:19 pm (UTC)(link)
You'll just have to stay out of the infirmary if you don't want me to comment, then. Not that I expect that to happen.

[ He huffs. ]

Are you going to come back inside or not?

It's like the two of you skipped past the honey moon phase and went right into being an old, married couple...

[It's more of an observation than anything else, but also, she's really tired. Between her argument with Avery and whatever this is, she needs a drink real bad.]
subconmodo: (H - aggressive mental math)

[personal profile] subconmodo 2020-01-21 03:29 pm (UTC)(link)
[He could just keep going. Sure, they're not on the ground floor, but a broken leg seems like a fair price to get out of here.

A shame it would probably only add fuel to the fire]


All right, all right, I'll come back in. But only if Miss Prissy over there keeps her comments to herself.

[He says as he's already climbing back inside]
imyoubut: (012)

[personal profile] imyoubut 2020-01-21 04:07 pm (UTC)(link)
[She really wants to point out how he of all people should probably have waited until she agreed before he started climbing back in. Or how she's the prissy one when he looks like he strolled out of the 1931 Dracula movie. Luckily, she refrains.

...but she does still roll her eyes. He said to keep her comments to herself, after all.]


Fine.
