LOOK. UP IN THE SKY.

[mansionstaff]

Who: All of Smash.
What: Dorm log!
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond campus.
When: March 13th - April 13th. The whole month.
Warnings: YOU KNOW YOURSELVES

We all know our characters experience downtime after classes and their busy schedules, and this is a good venue for those kinds of miscellaneous dorm-shenanigans to take place. Not only does it give your characters the easy chance to meet new people in a laid-back environment, but it's a good mechanism for strengthening CR. It's easy!

Feel free to begin in any way you please! Plan with (a) fellow player(s) if you'd like! Or, set up a thread and wait for characters to bite! Just add a thread with the room number (and date/time, if it matters) and the characters that reside there (just for reference!). You do not have to use one character's thread as a dual-purpose for both characters if you do not want to. Doesn't have to be a dorm room, either, if you have something else in mind.

This month sees the added addition of the fallen Egg Carrier--the debris still litter the lakeside.

Thank you to Angela for the original text! Here are the school's living arrangements, for reference.

BONUS EVENT TIME!!

Are you Irish? No? TOO BAD, you are now. Many of the bars and clubs downtown are having green-flavored festivities. Sure, they're stated to be for those of legal age, but that's never stopped people before, right?

March 23rd - 25th
THE GREAT EXCITEBIKE MIGRATION. Better stay out of the streets or you might get run oveBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBBbbbbbBBBbBbBBBBBb

April 1st
OH NO IT'S APRIL FOOL'S. Crazy Hand is out and about, slapping unsuspecting students and faculty with fish stickers. What? If you are unfortunate enough to fall victim to his pranking ways, you might find yourself saddled with a minor curse (hair color change, uncontrollable sneezing, anything you want, really) for as long as the sticker is on your person. The catch--try as you might, you can't remove it. Someone else will have to take it off for you, which might be a tall order if the sticker makes you say everything backwards.

[Dorm room, 5am!]

[jonny_talbain]

[Jon knocked gently on her door, unwilling to wake the Vaporeon's room mate but still wishing to let Chiyo know it was time to get to work.

At this time of year, 5am was just barely before sunset. It made for a pleasant time to train, before the sun had any bite to it and while the shadows were still long and cool. The world was still at rest, essentially, and that allowed to body an opportunity to work, free of distraction. Unless you were easily sidetracked by birdsong, of course.

And then, by the time the sun was up, they could take a dip in the lake.]

[Excited to train, Chiyo had gotten up extra early that morning to get ready and be prepared for Jon's arrival. So when he knocked, she was more than quick to answer the door and close it quietly behind her.]

Good morning Jon! I'm all set and ready to go.

[Look at her all excited like a new puppy greeting her master. She was practically bouncing on the balls of her feet.]

[jonny_talbain]

[Jon grinned in response - she was definitely up and raring to go. He didn't detect even an ounce of sleepiness in the way she held herself.

He felt a swell of pride in his chest.]

Looks that way, certainly. Let's go greet the world, shall we?

[He gave her a gentle clap on the shoulder and started walking down the hallway, hands held behind his back.]

We'll start with some stretches and a jog out to the wood. Then, I was thinking we work on your accuracy with some moving targets.

[almost_a_mermaid]

[She nodded and followed along beside him with enthusiasm.]

Sounds perfect!

[It was almost hard not to start jogging then and there to get out to the woods faster.]

And then? Maybe some agility or strength training?

[jonny_talbain]

[He picked up his battered looking gym bag on the way out, holding the door for her.]

We can absolutely do that - we'll come back to school once we're done with targets and then we can go to the weight room. Keeping in mind, weights are helpful, but by no means a complete solution when it comes to muscle building. Ought to work up an appetite for breakfast, however.

[almost_a_mermaid]

[She gave her thanks as she headed out the door and giggled at the mention of working up an appetite.]

It certainly should. [Not that she was a ravenous eater by any means. Well, except with the consumption sweets, that is.

Then, she noticed the gym bag and glanced at it curiously. Should she have brought one, too? She only had a small towel draped around her neck and a water bottle.]

May I ask what's in the bag? [She hoped she hadn't come unprepared.]

[jonny_talbain]

Those moving targets I mentioned.

[He opened the bag and rummaged around, pulling out a few Frisbees.]

You've some projectile attacks - I thought it may be useful to work a little on moving targets. I've a very good throwing arm, so, be prepared.
