Fourth Wall: We Gather Here to Face the Dusk
Log Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation

With the call for aid for the advent of the Suneater, the Academy has become one of the many operational centers around the world. The school while never having been quiet by any measure is now buzzing with extra traffic as those from all walks of life and not-quite-life gathered, preparing to literally fight for the sake of the world.

Whether the added souls were new to the supernatural, old faculty and students returning to the fold, or even legends whispered of in hush voices by those in the know, all are welcomed with open arms, creating a warm and inviting atmosphere despite the grim purpose of their visit.

A. Team-Build Exercises
To help with coordinating for the massive undertaking, team-building measures have been enacted, from trust falls to tag-team spars and even trivia bowls. Everything is designed to bring the disparate groups together to build trust and understanding...with varying results.

B. Breaking Bread
With the increase number of people needing to eat, the kitchen under the helm of Chef Hendersen aka Professor Bigfoot has been bringing out food from all corners of the world and the outlands - to make people feel at home - and for the daring to try the far more exotic fare such as Baatzou Surprise or Cumulus Puff from Celestia. And as it turns out - a speciality for the adults, they found some Ambrosia - drink and be merry.

C. Shop Talk
With the experience and wisdom of all sorts of trades and specialities being brought together, it’s only natural to want to exchange information and see what new innovations or experiments has been underway, or to get into impromptu competitions over whose ideas, spells or artifice will work better, especially if there’s money or bragging rights to be had.

Wild Card
If none of these appeal, make up a prompt of your own.

(B) Is for Break-Ins Breakfast

[Amidst the bright, noisy circus--literally, in some cases--of new arrivals, it's easy to overlook the unobtrusive young man in a worn Daybreak Academy hoodie. Rather than check in with anyone or even stop to put down his backpack, he slips right on through to the Banquet Hall. A moment later, he leans against the wall in an out-of-the-way corner, takes a bite of his pastry, savors it, and sighs.]

I've missed this.

(C) Anything You Like?

[Therion moves from the fringes of one group to another, eavesdropping on their conversations as they talk shop because... well, mostly because he can. A very subtle glamour diverts attention away from him. It's like he's not even there.

But if he hears anyone talking about stealth strategies or, uh, opportunities for sweet ca$h money, he drops the magic and tilts his head.]

Need a hand with that?

Wildcar(D) Me Up!

((Feel free to notice him around the school or Soleil! Therion was here about a year ago and has been off the grid since last winter. He'll be happy, even if he won't admit it, to greet familiar faces.))

[.... Oh, wow, that's a voice she hasn't heard in ages! Lia perks up, turning to Therion with a bright grin.]

Therion! Welcome back!

[bolderfell]

[He looks briefly surprised that she'd greet him so warmly, and then nods, pulling his scarf up a bit.]

Hey. I miss anything fun while I was gone?

[buddinghopes]

[It's Lia, Therion, what did you expect?]

Just more of the usual, really... What about you, though? Get up to anything fun while you were gone?

[bolderfell]

...You could say that.

[He almost certainly did, from that hint of satisfaction on his face.]
