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.

((ooc: This is the first fourth-wall log before the 5th Herald and opened for ALL characters current, past and not yet here. Feel free to throw any and all characters in to get a feel or get them established before the big battle.

If you'd like to make further plans oocly, we invite you to make use of the CR meme and AU planning meme!))

Yeah!! So I can fight better!

[So, not really an ordinary outfit.]

[imyoubut]

So a combat outfit...

[She taps her chin with the tip of her index finger.]

Well. Jail is more adapt at armor, but if it's cloth, I might be able to assist you.

[hattersgonnahat]

Pssh, this is so much cooler than armor...

[--Actually, wait, she can show. She lifts up the hat a bit where there was a rolled up piece of paper (how long had that been there??), she grabs and unfolds it, a sketch of some sort.]

I want something like they used to wear! [Her ancestors' fashion sense, it would seem. Long Victorian styled coats and hats, with a subtle amount of clockwork details all throughout. It seemed rather appropriate, if they truly were coming up against the final battle soon. This is exactly the kind of thing they would've wanted to fight for...]

But I kind of want it to be somewhat original...

[And that's what really what the hard part was.]
