ANNOUNCEMENTS: Oct 20

[goosemods]

LMAO HOW IS IT THE 20TH ALREADY. Okay, head's up: Marin is still on slow posting because she is a disaster of an adult (and also technically just started a new job, so).

• Regarding the rest of October, we will not be adding new events to make up for the ones which were struck out. A couple reasons: a) we figure the Pumpkin Carving Party, Costume Creation Party, Quidditch match and Halloween Dance will keep you all busy enough, and b) we need to slow down on creepy events to maintain the pace of the game. (But of course Halloween will not be devoid of creepy happenings!) We promised compensation, so if you lost an October calendar event and you did not already have at least two other events, you will get to see November's calendar a day early and sign up one of your characters in advance!
  
  These players are:
  • Callie
  • Cheryl
  • Emily
  • Josie
  • Roz
  
  You five can expect to see next month's calendar on October 29! :)


• For clarification, blank comments are considered "invisible" reactions and cannot be seen by other characters, i.e. icons do not exist in-universe, only text. Struck-out comments can still be seen and attributed to your character, though.


• Yes, strict curfew and the buddy system are still active! Quinn Cunningham has taken the initiative to post BUDDY SYSTEM SIGNUP SHEETS, which will go in the library and on the bulletin boards of all house campsites. Aaand she's posted about it right here!!!


• Okay, I need to spend this evening writing this weekend's Quidditch match and learning a new JS framework, so everyone tell me who your characters are asking to the Halloween Dance so I can figure out who my characters should ask. Feel free to use this as a plotting post if your characters don't have a date yet. I'm just nosy and want to know.

Also, Meggie would like to announce that she loves you and thinks you're all so cute, but I'm not adding it as a bullet point because I refuse to validate this gross unprofessionalism.
♥, M&M

Comments

[chryseis]

I love you guys so much!!!

Thank you for being so flexible with all your plot ruining babies.

Also, Cricket's mum (aka me) is so deviously excited to know OOC who everyone is asking to the dance. Let me know if IC Cricket might know this somehow. Remember, Cricket knows alllllll.

As for me, I believe Cricket and Raf are going together.

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

She can know about Katya and Casper as it might be sort of obvious as much as she was hanging off of him during the 'omg so scary' thing and their interactions on journals.

UNLESS KATIE DISAGREES THEN FORGET THIS COMMENT.

Also, clearly it's obvious about Robin/Trixie/Chris.

[gdilevi]

Cricket can know about Cecil/Levi (she prob already knows) because they were on the OE trip together when it happened and also because Levi made a fanfare about it.

[browbeats]

Nate asked Tab and Robin is going as a part of a supervillain trio with Trixie and Chris. I think. IS THAT STILL THE PLAN GUYS?

IDK ABOUT THOSE OTHER TWO APPARENTLY THEY'RE NOT COOL ENOUGH.

Also thank you everybody who contributed to the blank comment spam on robin's post yesterday THAT STILL AMUSES THE FUCK OUT OF ME.

ALSO ALSO I encourage this gross unprofessionalism, NO YOU'RE CUTE.

[threatens]

RUDE, ALEX, YOU'RE CUTER

ALSO I'M JUST TRYING TO BE FUNNY LIKE A HUGE LOSER, YOU KNOW I LOVE ALL OF YOU TOO :( ♥

[gdilevi]

Levi has asked Cecil and Maggie is currently dateless.

ALSO lmao MY BAD. Me and Emma were playing around with reaction icons in an entry but we knew it was OOC and the responses/reactions weren't actually there. Can we still do that if we acknowledge it's ooc or should we just not as to not cause confusion?

[goosemods]

Playing around with reaction icons is totally fine! Obviously, try not to go overboard (i.e. a comment thread of like 10+ reaction icons), but we just wanted to clarify since someone had asked on the Dropbox awhile ago whether or not it's IC or OOC, and we figured other people might be wondering the same.

[catseyenebula.insanejournal.com]

Katya asked Casper! Like that's a huge surprise to anyone.

Ferris ain't got no one to ask and if anyone wants to ask her, good luck.

[casperkim]

;) Well, it's a huge surprise to Casper. But, yeah, probably nobody else.

[ninjaleo]

THANK YOU FOR BEING GREAT :(

Addy and Jonny forever I am sure but she'll probably leave early because criminality

I
Do not know if Leo is asking anyone or what that deal is since I just got his act together
I am sooooo helpful

[duelled]

Ivy's looking for a boy to ask to the dance if Leo's up for that! It's absolutely guaranteed to be awkward and weird

[chryseis]

ALSO! WILL SOMEONE PLEASE FLIRT WITH WES AND THROW A WRENCH IN HOW GROSS THEY'RE BEING

[magitechnically]

Good luck with the new job and the learning!

My three are all dateless losers, though Ursula may ask everyone's favorite night creature now that Levi has moved on to sweeter pastures. Or Kurt. Or Holden. One of them sweet, awkward boys that she loves pestering.

Sun-mi is happy to ask someone but she is super new and hasn't talked to much of anyone yet in the journals. (Realistically, the only boy she would probably consider asking is Ravi but pestering him into asking someone other than a friend is more amusing to her.)

ARE ESSIE AND MINA AND DIEGO STILL DOING A GROUP COSTUME????

[indiefolk]

YES IF YOU AND MARIN ARE STILL INTO IT group costume is on~

Otherwise Diego will need to sneak last minute into the Alice group somehow.

[indiefolk]

My affection is a bottomless well, you can't stop me.

Rafael is taking Cricket.

Diego is going to definitely ask... someone. ANY LADIES NEED A CHARMING BUT HAPLESS BOY READY TO MAKE BAD DECISIONS?

Reid is not going unless someone asks him.

Calvin is technically going dateless, but he'll be showing up with Ree, naturally. ♥

[knightly]

I KNOW SOMEONE WHO WOULD ASK CALVIN

...who is not this account, sorry, I'm on my phone and too lazy to sign out

[quinning]

I have a post re: sign-up sheets almost ready to post! It will be up in a couple of hours. (rn I'm omw to my knitting group BECAUSE I'M COOL hence the delay, so when I get home)

[cmdrchloe]

[browbeats]

RILEY WILL ASK HER CORRUPTABOO

and

abandon her for someone else halfway through omg Riley you are the worst

[paytee.insanejournal.com]

Sylla is dateless and will probably be surprised when she finds out its a date type of dance because she's too concerned with cleaning the fake blood out of her Marie Antoinette dress.

Wes ain't asking nobody because he's keeping his options open but this probably happens every year and he just goes stag so he can flirt freely. Also because all the prefects are coordinating and the only point of a Halloween date is to match costumes so nope.

And Holden gets hives about asking anyone to anything so he is free to be roped in.

[laaurel.insanejournal.com]

BECAUSE of DRAMA REASONS i will probably throw laurel at wes like the day before the dance :d

[icovington.insanejournal.com]

None of mine have dates, TRAGEDY. Though Ree has managed to harrass Calvin into coordinating costumes with her, it is not a date because he has made it explicit that he doesn't want to kiss her ;-;-;-;-;

So basically anyone feel free to grab Ree, Gabi, Saira, or Isaiah (in descending order of how well they'll react in general, from this (https://media.giphy.com/media/iPTTjEt19igne/giphy.gif) to this. (http://www.gifbin.com/bin/1238157980_scanners_-_head_explosion.gif)

[wilhelmeana]

ok UNLESS SOME CUTE BOY WANTS TO GET ON THAT mina might try to ask isaiah

it'll be tragic because they're both gay

[duelled]

Yay! Stuff and love

Clem, Ivy & Reece are also all dateless. Ivy may haplessly ask someone to go with her, if anyone wants to volunteer for that.

[knightly]

Ravi might ask Ivy, if she'd be up for that? :O

[laaurel.insanejournal.com]

Neither of my girls have dates. :u

Laurel is like ?!?!?!?! about this kind of thing in general, but has some v vague ideas about asking various people she likes, even just as "friends." It kind of depends what Ivy does lmao. :x If Ivy asks someone, expect Laurel to launch herself awkwardly in someone's path/make a last minute effort. ♥

Z doesn't care. She'll be playing with the band, and then I guess kinda plans to flit around and be Z-ish, She'd be open to going with just about anyone if asked, though.

[duelled]

lol well now this HAS to happen. commence awkward date-obtaining

[secret-chord.insanejournal.com]

Harriet hasn't asked anyone yet.

She's also going as the Phantom of the Opera.

[quinning]

harriet starts her campaigns about as early as US presidential candidates do!

[colemoss]

Most of mine have been discussed above, but just to participate!

Cecil is going with Levi and Casper is going with Katya. Neither of them has any clue how this happened. Cole is going by himself, but has zero concerns about that. Halloween is all about the SPECTACLE guys. So long as he gets a fun costume together, he's a happy boy~

[threatens]

ok ok since you're all being so good by talking about dates, here's my plans:

Mina is asking... someone. She's written up a list of eligible boys and will basically force one of them to go with her, probably on Monday. She has a costume ready for you. All you have to do is LOOK HANDSOME and DON'T TALK TOO MUCH.

Ravi will ask someone eventually, as a friend, probably because Sun-mi and Rafael keep bugging him to do it. Aaaaactually I think I know who, let me get on that in a minute.

Sy is going with Coralee, probably??? LMAO SORRY ROSY he's a disloyal twin. (Also Josie I know I haven't responded to your email yet but I will soon!!!!)

Micah is going to ask Calvin, ohohoho. Because I am an eternal optimist, I will only say that if he crashes and burns, he'll probably ask Charlotte!

[cecaelian]

omg okay I was waiting to find out if Coralee was going to go with Sy. Clearly Ursula's decision is made for me.

[nobletoo]

Nia's very contentedly going stag. Not against having a date, just not particularly bothered by not having one.

Frankie has NO IDEA what is going on in her own life. But she has costume ideas, so she's okay!

[henshinyo]

UM. NGL, when Sun-mi read that Nia wanted to go as Medusa that seriously piqued her interest. IDK what this says about her. Sun-mi should probably actually talk to her rather than just being like "Wow, what a girl~ ♥"

[quinning]

Now that I'm back from knitting (AND IF FORGOT IT AT THE RESTAURAAAANNNTTTTTT D: D: my rainbow sock!!), I can contribute more.

Neither Kurt nor Quinn have dates. Kurt is very unlikely to ask anybody on account of thinking that's terrifying, but if he was asked by somebody he thinks is reasonably A Good Person or A Good Friend, he will probably go. I also contribute: if it's a date he may be completely unaware of that fact until explicitly explained to. Abuse that as you will.

Quinn's not likely to ask anybody because I can't think of anybody who isn't going with somebody that she would think to ask. BECAUSE THAT MAKES SENSE?? But she's also pretending to be very independent and stoic, and claiming she's been too focused on her senior project to deal with dalliances; this is only half-true, she's probably just not that used to being single right now and it's weird.

DID YOU NEED THOSE EXTENSIVE PERSPECTIVES INTO MY CHARACTERS' PSYCHES? NO? WELL TOO BAD. Lmk if you want to plot some dateyness for either, I'll be all over that shit.

[indiefolk]

OH UHM

I've been procrastinating getting to the lines meme because I AM GARBAGE but maybe Diego will ask Quinn??? If you are still up for getting in on some of this BAD DECISION VALIDATION, that is! They can both not think about OTHER PEOPLE because THEY ARE TOTALLY FINE.

[bambae]

First off yay bc I'm always late on the plot chart so yay

Second off. Chris is definitely still in that villain trio.

And Olivia still needs a date someone plz help a sister at

And Solomon is prolly gonna ask an upper classman like a dork. Volunteers?

[tinyrebel.insanejournal.com]

Ferris says dances are for losers and stay outside and throw knives at things instead.

[all-apologies.insanejournal.com]

yessss I will take that early look at the plot calendar, it always seems to get posted when I'm at work (not blaming, just sayin')

Bailey is going alone, if she goes at all, which she probably will but she'll probably leave early because dances are hard :[

Faye doesn't have a date and she'd be up for it but she's also up for just having a group of friends because she's an independent lady who doesn't need a lover to be happy (however she's going as Joan of Arc, very likely in armor so if you're looking to get frisky on the dancefloor that's probably going to be difficult)

[knightly]

Haha yes, we're trying to find a better time to put them up! D: I'll send you all an email when we put it up November's and try to give you all roughly 24 hours before everyone else gets a shot, but it's still tough to find a good time for future calendars, with all the different time zones. What's a good time for you, in general? I was trying to figure out if we could aim for some morning hour before everyone's gone into work, but idk.

and omg Joan of Arc, that's totally badass. ♥ Maybe Ravi should ask Faye :O

[cheerpowers]

NONE OF MY CHARACTERS HAVE DATES *pout*

I'm super sad by this. Ryan is less sad, though PLEASE someone either try and ask him or coerce him into asking *hint Levi and Diego*

But HELL YEAH for early plot calendar.

[cheerpowers]

ALSO I LOVE YOU GUYS SO MUCH.

[orangepip]

Why are imaginary dances so stressful, omg.

OKAY SO. Coralee is apparently going with Sy! SORTED.

Henrietta is still available! Meggie did say Diego might ask her, but from the looks of things Diego has been propositioned a few times himself/is also asking other girls (to hedge his bets??? lol) SO YEAH idek what's happening, feel free to hit her up if you want a slice of ~hot Etta action~ FIRST COME FIRST SERVED.

And I know who Pippa would like to ask...

[threatens]

LMAO I'M SORRY I KIND OF DECIDED THAT WITHOUT YOU i knew coralee would be popular ok i had to put a ring on it /HIT

AND YEAAAAAH PIPPA i'm sorry all the men at this school are so useless at asking out girls
