Who: A Mountain, Campus and You.
What: Watch your heads, cause someone's not watching their steps. There's destruction afoot.
When: October 4th.
Where: All across campus.

As far as Sundays went, this one was pretty typical, despite the lingering blood moon that persisted well into the morning. If you disregarded that, you could certainly call it lovely. The air held the crisp kiss of autumn's chill, the breeze rustling the fire hued foliage of campus. Eventually the sun's golden rays chased away the moon, bringing with it the deep blue of the sky.

It was entirely possible to forget anything bizarre was happening on such a nice day. Monsters, earthquakes, pssht. Those didn't exist today.

At least not until the first rumble echoed off the edge of campus. And then the next. And the next. And the next. Each one closer, stronger, rattling everything that wasn't fixed in place. The more astute in their panic might have noticed that it was far too rhythmic in its shocks. It was like a heartbeat, or a particularly strong footstep down rickety stairs.

Or perhaps they just noticed that a huge foot had come crashing through the roof of whatever building they happened to be in. Probably a striking detail, that.

The mountains, it seemed, were out for a stroll.



The colossal beast was ambling without a care in the world. The school buildings it was walking over (and through) posed no issue for it. Clearly it was just enjoying the fine Sunday like anyone else would. The mountains it had apparently wandered down from must have looked too boring, or maybe that little wolf thing had been making too much of a racket.

Either way, it was here and it was peacefully walking directly through Smash Academy.

Who: ERRYONE
What: SHOPPING!
Where: THE MALL!
When: NOW! (September 20 - 26)
Warnings: S for SHOPPING

Sometimes... Sometimes people just needed things. Basic necessities, food, clothes, video games... Of course, after the big Angry Birds attack a few days ago, it was likely people needed to replace broken things too. (How did that even happen anyway...)

Whatever the reason, the mall was the place to be.

WHO: Mona and Pit
WHAT: Pit's first day as a delivery boy! Mona's gonna show him some tips. Heheh.
WHERE: Mona's new pizza place that just opened up and beyond- wherever cries for pizza can be heard.
WHEN: Let's go with 8/18!
WHY WARNINGS: Uhhhhhunruly customers, maybe? Weirdos? Delivery driving is full of surprises!

Out of all the jobs Pit was offered by his friends, delivering pizza door to door seemed the most rewarding, if rewarding meant fun and compelling. As far as earning money went, he could probably stand to aim higher (or pray for excellent tips). But he didn't care. He planned on taking up multiple gigs anyway.

And besides! Mona seemed ultra cool. He couldn't wait to team up with her on his first job. Today was the day, so he sprung out of bed bright and early, at least two hours before he even needed to. The hour was finally here. Pit stood in front of the brand spanking new building and was overtaken with excitement.

"Oh man. This is gonna be great!"

He hustled inside, quick to make his presence known with a spirited fist pump. "I made it! And I'm ready to make some dough! Pizza dough, that is."

Who: YOU
What: KISSLETOES
When: December 14th - January 1st
Where: Everywhere
Warnings: Sloppy makeouts.

( I'm hoping that I don't get caught under the mistletoe )

Who: Black Shadow and his students
What: The very first drivers ed. God help us all.
Where: Kraken Lake
When: Monday, 15th
Warnings: Reckless child endangerment and lots of driving in snowstorm conditions.

Waiting for the students on the track is a beautiful sight: a landscape covered in snow, a track glittering with flakes, and a line of glistening F-Zero machines waiting to be driven at insane speeds around the track.

Well, it's beautiful if you're an F-Zero racer.
( Turn into the skid... )

Who: YOU
What: SNOW
When: DECEMBER 7th
Where: EVERYWHERE
WHAT: SNOW (BONUS TREE DECORATING)

What: Bowser teaches 'etiquette' but really it's not
Where: The Etiquette Classroom -- Now With Koopa Troop Laptops
When: Tuesday, Sept. 23rd.
Warnings: Literal Internet Trolling

A new semester, a new chance to learn about deportment at home and abroad, with your ever-gracious host, Bowser Koopa XIV.

( Welcome to Your New Life in Applied Trolling: In Media Res - Invective Media Results )

Who: You!
What: The Island of the Ancients
When: August 19th Onward
Where: ADVENTURE ISLAND
Warnings: Who knows?

( the answer lies beneath us )

Who: All of Smash.
What: Dorm log! Summertime special.
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond campus.
When: Approximately the latter half of July to the earliest of Augusts (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.

And don't forget: things are getting pretty freaky! Shadow bugs are still rife around the school and city, causing all kinds of trouble, but most significantly capable of cloning people and even objects. For the remainder of July, the dimensional lines are a little blurred and causing alternate universe versions of characters to show up. But something ever curiouser has started to show up on campus... Bubbles?

Subspace bubbles? They look kinda like the ones dotting the sky... Dare ye enter?

If you do, you'll find that it... just ends up being a portal to another part of the school. Sometimes they may lead you into some part of town. Weird! Hopefully it doesn't lead you anywhere embarrassing, like in the middle of a stage play or in the bathroom of the opposite sex. That's mortifying.

( And now, for your events! )

For reference, here are the rooming arrangements.

Who: Pit, Sonny Moe, Ema, and Watt!
What: Retrieving a trophy. For science.
Where: Bunkers => Underground tunnels =>Back 2 campus
When: Friday, June 27th

Four was a good number for a group of explorers. All of them showed an interest in wanting to venture down into the tunnels, and even though Pit had gone a few times already, he wanted to go more. Finally he was able to organize for all of them to meet together at the same time in the dorm lobby where they would pop the top off the tile and delve into the bunkers to the subterranean passage. It turned out that Watt had already gone before, but she wanted to go again. Besides, she would be a valuable ally to have- she was like a light bulb, and it was dark down there! Sonny promised to do a lot of the lifting when they brought back the trophy they were searching for. Their goal was to snag one of the Pokemon trophies and bring it back for an X-ray evaluation to see what was inside. Pokemon Centers were free, after all.

They journeyed through the stretch of bunkers until they reached the entrance to the tunnels. "Here we are," announced Pit. He brought the same Aquarius Blade weapon he had last time, since he noticed it had the capacity to OHKO the phantomlike enemies that appeared for him two of the times he went. "Are we ready? The moment we go in, monsters might appear. The ones that tend to show up first are defeated by continuous physical attacks. That means you can't stop hitting them once you start, or else they just regenerate when you leave them alone. It might be better to divide them all up between us when they come so we can stop them from doing that."

Who: EV ERY ONE
What: Graduation. Prom.
When: The evening of May 31st.
Where: The Stadium.
Warnings: WHO KNOWS

( Or worry, but know that worrying is as effective as trying to solve an algebra equation by chewing bubble gum. )

Who: Apple Kid and You
What: Apple Kid has a booth set up in the quad and he's trading inventions for food
Where: The Quad
When: Tuesday, April 9th
Warnings: Inventions

Apple Kid had a little booth set up in the quad, and a bag and a series of boxes behind him. There was a sign up front that read "Will trade food for inventions. One trade per person. Put your hand in the bag, and get an invention at random. Mystery! Excitement! Bartering!"

His mouse sat next to him. They drank glasses of fruit punch as they waited for the customers to roll in.

Who: Pit and Ike.
What: Ike doesn't understand why ice cream shops exist.
Where: In town. Sprinkletown.
When: March 28th.

( frozen mashed potatoes )

Who: Anyone
What: HALLRAVE
When: The night of the 22nd
Where: Student Dorms
Warnings: Partying too hard
Recommended Listening: Not sorry

Happy Spring, Smash Academy. What do you mean it's been spring for a few days? Whatever, it hasn't been properly rung in until now.

( Let's fix that, shall we? )

Who: EVERYONE
What: Suddenly, BATH HOUSE.
Where: An unused janitor closet
When: Any time
Warnings: B for BARE BUTTS

( Behind door number one... )

Who: Max and the Students of his Smash Fundamentals Class
What: Home Run Contest
Where: Outside in the Football Stadium
When: Class Time
Warnings: Baseball bats

Max had set up the Football Stadium out-of-doors so that there was a funny little platform at one end. There was also a baseball bat, and a sandbag. One of those sandbags with eyes that was sort of creepy because it was watching you as you beat it up.

But at any rate, his Smash Fundamentals class was here, and they were going to have a class, and it was going to be great. G-R-E-A-T great.
( Hitting Things: The Log )

Who: Sheik, Garrett, Pit, Yarne, and special guest star Soryk (for snooping purposes only).
What: A BUNKERVENTURE
When: FORWARD DATED A WHILE. Let's say March 22nd or something.
Where: Those weird bunkers underneath the school.
Warnings: Probably gonna fight some guys. Probably some weird stuff. No tagging order, everyone's gonna go wild.

( You are likely to be eaten by a grue. )

Who: Everyone
What: Revenge of the Return of the Cupid Bots!
Where: Everywhere
When: February 14th
Warnings: H for Heartbreak

Every year this happened like clockwork. Those horrific little robot cherubs armed with hormone altering arrows were starting to appear on campus, carrying with them their 24 hour curse. Senior students and faculty knew these things all too well, and knew well enough to stay away from them. Newer students may have been warned about them. But would everyone be able to avoid these horrid little pranksters?

Anyone struck by their arrow would find themselves irresistibly attracted to the first person they saw. The effect was temporary, thankfully, lasting only 24 hours. But still, a lot can happen in 24 hours...

(Feel free to start your own threads for happenings! To random sign-ups: The crusher should probably start their threads, and the crushees should join them, but you're free to do it the other way. Have fun!)

Who: Knuckles, Goombella, All of everyone who wants to come
What: A wedding
Where: Angel Island's Hidden Palace
When: Future dated to Saturday the 8th
Warnings: It's a wedding and it's Smash Academy. So probably general craziness. Cartoon Mischief. Anything raunchy is obviously going to be saved for the Honeymoon log I mean what

The day had finally arrived.

Much like any other trip to Angel Island, all you have to do is walk into the giant rotating gold ring and you are FWASH'd through space to arrive at your destination.



( We are gathered here today... )

Who: All of Smash.
What: Dorm log! January edition.
Where: Student and Teacher dorms, and quite possibly beyond campus.
When: Approximately the latter half of January to the earliest of Februaries (15th - 5th)
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.

BUT WAIT!!!!!!

This time, we're shaking things up. 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. Here is the list!*

1/18: Hypno's Naptime. Much like the anime episode of the same name, there are mysterious sleep waves pulsing through town. No one is sure where they're coming from- it could be a rowdy Hypno that took over a broadcasting station one day, or maybe it's the local Disco Drowzee club that opened up just recently and their collective moves are enough to make you snooze. Well, these sleep waves might make you catch onto some unexpected z's, but more likely they can give you strange effects. Don't limit it to thinking you're a Pokemon, either. They can trick you into believing you're something else entirely, or just give you the urge to slip on a chicken costume and table dance in front of a crowd without finding it socially inappropriate. Just. WEIRD STUFF, MAN. Anything is possible.
1/19 - 1/25: Nancy's going on vacation. That's right, you sorry saps aren't gonna know what to do with yourselves now that no one's cooking for you. There was gonna be a substitute lunch bear/lady/alien space creature, but for whatever reason, they never showed up. So now, everyone must FEND FOR THEMSELVES. How will you fare if you don't even know how to flip a spatula?
1/25 - 1/27: Ice Cream Blizzard. Oh, you poor, starving Smashers. Not only are you bereft of nutrition, but it's cold and snowing and you can barely get out of the building without freezing solid! You might just perish, but wait- if you step outside and try to catch snowflakes with your tongue, you might just realize that it's... snowing ICE CREAM?!
1/29-1/31: Goomba Infestation. Everything is Goombas for 2 days in the boys dorms. Bowser is dicking around with "Itchymarbles" again, and it just spills out across the entire dorms. This prank has the unfortunate side effect of, well, affecting everyone on campus, and not just Scratchy McMarbles, so you might wanna be careful opening that fridge, since the wrong kinds of mushrooms might start pouring out. Jumping on them might work, but it's gonna take a lot of hopscotch to decimate an entire roomful!

This is a bit of an experiment, so... we'll see what comes of this.

*Note: These were determined by rng. Any other suggestions will be recycled for next time if the event aspect is successful.
