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

( IT'S A BIRD. IT'S A PLANE. )

Who: Shantae, Dance Clubbers
What: Once upon a time, there was a man who died Dance club does ballet
Where: The Dance Studio
When: Tuesday, March 10
Warnings: P for PIROUETTES

With all that had happened recently, people needed a distraction to get them back in high spirits. It seemed just in time for another dance club. With a poster on the bulletin board announcing it, expertly done in scented markers and glitter this time, Shantae came up with something nice and mellow for them all to try today.

And when the class assembled, Shantae was in the studio, stretching, wearing a unitard instead of her usual genie outfit. "So," she began, "has anyone here ever done ballet before? I got outfits, I got slippers, and I have music for everyone."

Who: EVERYBODY IT'S A LAKE PARTY
What: Clean-up! Chao rescue service! Other stuff! Open log!
Where: The lake
When: March 9-15
Warnings: Let's hope the lake Gyarados isn't pissed off about the spaceship that landed in its house...

Just as she said, Melia was at the shore of the lake in the early afternoon, already directing her bodyguards around the scattered, remaining pieces of the Egg Carrier littering the ground. What she really wanted to do, though, was find those Chao. It was a bit selfish of her, she thought, to be more concerned about finding the cute critters than cleaning up the lake, but she did have a good reason. She had to make sure they were all right in the aftermath.

And she wanted to pet one. Or all of them.

((This is a catch-all 'do stuff at the lake' log! Go nuts!))

Who: Clear && YOU!
What: A meteor crashes into the academy and brings along with it... life. Is it an alien?!
Where: The woods just outside of campus grounds.
When: March 7th, late at night.
Warnings: Depends on who joins in! It's Clear, though, so this may be a wild ride.

( see where the rabbit hole takes you! )

( IMPORTANT NOTE that there will not be separate threads for this log! Considering the circumstances, this will be a multiple person log with whoever wants to investigate, run into each other, and ultimately aid and/or kick the robot in the shin. All events will happen as one expanse of time. For that reason, I recommend tracking the thread if you post! Track it! Press the little box up there! It's a nice box! )

Who: All of Smash.
What: Dorm log! April-May edition.
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond campus.
When: Approximately the latter half of April to the earlier half of May (25th - 15th)
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. It could be the common room or the student science lab or wherever.

And keep in mind! There are shadow bugs afoot! They be crawlin' in your crannies!

Since it was well-received last time, we will continue the events. On certain days, there will be an event going on that might help if you can't think of a good scenario to kick off a thread with. In addition to the prevalence of shadow bugs, the list and dates are below.

------

April 28th; Apple Pie Golems: Apple Kid's 17th-dimensional ball of yarn (this is an invention from 4 years ago) gets tangled up and, regrettably, opens a portal to the Elemental Plane of Apple Cobbler. Apple pie golems come streaming in from the rift before it can be closed properly, and they are hungry for a slice of your character. It's fight or... die?! Or maybe fight and pie, depending on whether you win or not.

May 2nd; No-Pants Day: Someone must have funked up a spell in Magic Class, because now everyone's pants have become... sentient! And they're escaping! They're scrambling around without their owners, from shorts to trousers to even skirts! Skirts probably don't know how to run, so they float. Big difference. Even if you manage to nab them back, they'll just try and slip right off again. They're pretty violent. Even the pants in your drawers and closets aren't safe from this magical misdemeanor. Skivvies are strangely unaffected.

May 9th; Meteos Mayhem: Meteos blocks start to gradually descend upon the school grounds. It doesn't seem like a huge deal at first, but after a while, it gets to be a nuisance. Get it off my car! Why are there so many of them? When will they end?! If you're keen, you'll realize that if you line up blocks of like colors in a vertical or horizontal row of three or more, they'll... blast off into space? Weird, but kind of cool. And hey, it cleaned them up. Better not let them stack up too high! It's Trash Day for the whole school!

Also, if you want easy access to the dorm living arrangements, here is the link.

Who: Leaves and Bulba and maybe You.
What: ~*~ Leaf Piles ~*~
When: November 4th-8th
Where: Campus
Warnings: Copious amounts of autumn foliage.

With the creepy carnival come and gone, things were settling back into a normal pace. The steady deepening of the chill in the air kept pressing forward, bringing with it a crispness to the air. The falling leaves of gold and orange followed in its wake. The campus was pretty well covered in the stuff by now, and with no officially employed grounds keeper, it seemed like it was going to stay that way.

Until one day it started to look a bit clearer. Piles started to pop up. Littles ones at first. Then big ones. Mountainous ones. Soft, giant piles of crisp, dry leaves.

Did you want to jump in them? You wanted to jump in them. They were perfect.

While a great majority of them were unattended, some of them were accompanied by a young man whose colour scheme matched them. He had a big rake in his hands, and it seemed he was responsible for a lot of them. Oh boy.

In a low and lonely corner of the science wing of the fair halls of Smash Academy sat a lowly and forgotten device. Untouched for seasons, it sat dusty, and covered with a sheet, and ignored by all.

It lay, however, within reach of the railing that wrapped around the entire school. Well, it's a good thing that the spheroid robots that roam this institution's hallways are an incurious and innocuous sort, spreading only felicity and meritorious goodwill throughout the school during their interactions with the world around them. The machine was likely to remain overlooked and untouched for years to come.

Yes.

This was the most likely outcome.

But... the future didn't refuse to change...

What: Eggman's classes are off to an excellent start
Where: Demolitions classroom
When:Wednesday, September 18

He was ruling the city. He almost ruled the school too. But all of that was over now... Was he bitter? Yes. Very yes. Everything was going so perfectly until that cat interfered with everything. Now, back in this dead end teaching gig, Dr. Eggman was ready to take out his frustrations on all of his poor unfortunate students.

"All right, all right, SIT DOWN AND SHUT UP," he grumbled irritably as he began to write on the blackboard.

"My name is Dr. Eggman, and welcome to your first day of DEMOLITIONS. I'm going to be teaching you everything from lighting off firecrackers to decimating cities, and you are ALL GOING TO LEARN SOMETHING FROM THIS OR SO HELP ME YOU LITTLE INGRATES--"

He caught himself on his tangent, taking a deep breath. "Let's just jump right in..."
