@JanuaryHey, so clarification: Should we start the next day in our next posts? You mentioned timeskipping until morning, but is that something we're going to have to wait on after (So, another week like this one where everybody posts once and then you move things forward) or are we covering the end of that scene at the very beginning of our posts and then moving on to the next morning in the second half?

Let's try pirate pad. I'm curious about it, and it looks easy to navigate. I'll send you the link.

Feel free to start the next day in your posts. Don't end the next day, but definitely feel free to start it and proceed a bit into it. I'll see where everyone's roughly at in their next day timeline before typing up the next post, but where you end it won't make a difference as long as you're not cutting to the following evening.

Also, to everyone, minor correction: it's a Thursday.

Edit:

Question from the Discord: "Is Internet blocked?"

Answer: Internet is not blocked, but whether or not your character guesses that they could be monitored heavily is up to you.

@Ashevelendar@dragonmancer Do you both want to do a collab post, or just each of us put up a separate post before transitioning to the next day?

I'm not too sure as to what could possibly be done on my end, but sure. You're the guy/gal with the plan. PM me what you are thinking.

P.S. I dunno what's up with the notifications these past weeks but I never seem to be warned by mentions nowadays. Good thing I check the place often (on my breaks at work hahaha).

@Riffus Maximus I'll come up with something and send it your way via PM tomorrow. It's almost time for me to hit the sack.

Oh, and I'm a girl.

To everyone:

Essentially, feel free to write in what you want for the bathroom basics provided and for shit in your duffel bag(s), since your circumstances vary so wildly. Some--like Sander who came from a research facility--will have changes of clothing and other things, some may have barely anything. Some may have an in-between amount of crap. Etc. Keep it in line with what you think the authorities might have grabbed along with your character.

Edit: There is a window per room and it's about 60cm by 91cm. God, Piercing Light, have some mercy on me. I am only a sad potato of a human, haha.

Posting in the OOC as well as Discord for player convenience:

I'm not talented enough to make a map, yet. So for now have a bad description of the campus layout. All other buildings can be written in as you wish. It won't really matter. Multiple classes of the same subject can occur in multiple buildings simultaneously--just avoid writing that you're with someone else in Lecture Building J while they wrote in their post that they're in Lecture Building C, etc.

The following is from the collab post I'm working on with Piercing and Red:

"Before he could dwell on it for too long, his eyes settled on the stacks of paper on his desk. Sifting through them carefully as he sat down, Christmas found the placement exams and set them aside while he looked over a map of the school. It seemed like the registrar's building (labeled with a C) was between Buildings A and B, the three buildings forming a rough semicircle around a large open area in the center. Two corridors drawn on the map looked like they connected both Buildings A and B back to Building C and Christmas took note of the orientation in case he needed to find them in a hurry. Building D on the far side of the large quad had a small "dining hall" label below it, and it seemed situated to be as far as possible from Building C. Beyond that, other large buildings surrounding the main dorms were marked as either Lecture Buildings with corresponding letters of the alphabet or simply "restricted" before the map's borders indicated where the rest of the town began. A second page on the map removed all the designations of the buildings, instead marking down cafes, study lounges, computer lounges, the campus bookstore, and a section in the middle of the quad for 'food stalls on Wednesdays.' "

Someone in Discord asked where the laundry rooms are.

Answer: They're located in the main lobby of each dorm building, down the hallway that connects each building to the registrar's office. Many little laundry rooms. Don't forget where your clothes are.

Oookay! First of all - hi! tdumia here, armed with a hot-off-the-press CS that's totally ready for critique! Hopefully it all works.

Edit - fixed the broken image!

Did you hotlink that pic? If so, download it, and put it on a proper imagesite like imgur.com, before linking it back here. The picture is broken.

@tdumia

Rejected.


Reason 1:

Additionally, while it isn't visible in this image, random portions of her skin are cool, smooth, steely metal as opposed to soft, pliable skin. These metallic sections of her are magnetic, negatively charged, in both the sense that she sticks to other magnets and that other magnets stick to her.
tdumia


I did not clear this in writing up your Arbiter/Aberration descriptions. Neither did you check with me if this was cleared.

Communication check: failed.


Reason 2:

The bond between Lena and said friend was put to the test when, as a response to a dire situation that put her friend in danger, she generated an electrical barrier around her friend on the fly, to protect her; the moment after she used her powers then, various patches of her skin disappeared, replaced by metal in an instant, and she would learn of her own light magnetism later on. She hadn't even known she had the ability to do that until that fateful day... It was as though she blinked her eyes; one day, her parents vaguely knew of her abilities, and she was "enrolled" at USARILN East the next.
tdumia


Waking up as an Arbiter/Aberration is not something that just sits well with the general public. In fact, most people would panic at the sight of one unrestrained. For Lena to have developed powers (and the obvious mark) already and still be able to stroll around with her friend for a while is a detail I would have needed to check over first if you wanted some method of circumventing the basic setting. And this was not brought up with me despite my mention that questions should be brought up in the group PM with me and the co-GMs.

Communication and detail check: failed.

I'm aware of the potential counterarguments here:

"Could have been using makeup to hide the mark."

"Saving her friend could have happened immediately after waking and learning of her abilities."

"Easy to just edit the CS and fix the error, what's the big deal?"


To all of these, see reason 3 below.


Reason 3:

In PMs, I asked you the following:

2. Did powers in humans exist before The Slumber or only afterwards?
January


You did not answer this correctly.

Prior detail check: failed.

Individually, the incidents are not major, but combined I am inclined to think there is a pattern of subtle carelessness here that I am not a good and patient enough person to work with.

Am I potentially judging you too harshly? Sure. In fact, I most certainly am.

But I'd rather take the chance that I'm wrong about my judgment and save myself, my co-GMs, and my players the trouble than run the gamut and risk this carelessness manifesting at less-than-convenient moments.

In any case, I apologize for the effort you went through. I don't think it's a total loss since the character can be appropriated for any future RPs you choose to join, but I, unfortunately, will not be accepting you into this one.

I sincerely thank you for your time.

Because you guys loved the last one so much:

Teehee.

Same things apply. Get all your posts in and we can move on early.

Any delays, let me know and we can wait a bit longer/you can opt out of the coming event. I'll give everyone another free day or two to torment each other IC if there are any severe delays where someone really wants their post in, but is just having issues getting it all together.
