Female uniform, sorry for the double post
Thanks.
<Snipped quote by Hero>
Those uniforms though? cause I'm excited to see what we gonna be styling in
I actually finished the male one yesterday, I've just been super indecisive on the female version.
The little pocket-flap thing changes color depending on the year, I was thinking of trying to add more but its so busy with the plaid already that I didn't want to overwhelm it.
In regards to the time taken to write a post and how it may be turned off by the time you finish writing and click that "Post" button, I would assume you would do the right thing and back up the post anyways. Yes, Guild does have a simple save feature for 6 hour drafts, (which is good for general discussion/chit chat posts), but the autosave function has never been a designed as a feature you should wholeheartedly rely on. For RP posts you should be drafting them up on something like Google Docs anyways... at least that's what I do.
I feel so called out
But uh, in all seriousness, I was wondering if adding some of the more helpful guides to the BBCode Cheatsheet would be possible? Or maybe even a "click here for more advanced codes" that would link to the advanced guides (like the ones Roach and tsukune have made)?
Best wishes! Though with Ruby's departure, will the staff be looking for another admin? Or will you and/or Mahz be around more, since Ruby was so active she was basically the face of the staff, so I was wondering.
Hopefully by tomorrow I'll have the uniforms up for people to gander at!

Honey, my mind is never made up.
But yeah, Year 1 does make the most sense thinking about it.
Sounds like you got your mind made up!
The crumbling of the koi fish threw Lilie off guard, and it was only then that she remembered the other part of the riddle that she had neglected to focus on: all that glittered was not gold. But it was too late to do anything about it, the girl letting out a yelp as the shark suddenly weighed a ton. She winced as her hand was pinned, but whatever cry of pain she had was covered by the grinding--what the heck was up with the loud grounding?!--and the pillar started to sink.
"Oh no no no no--" Lilie knew exactly was what about to happen, trying to pry her hand away from the shark and pillar, but she was stuck. Okay, fine, she couldn't physically free herself, so magic was the answer. Except instead of a surging wave coming to her aid, instead a small wave moved. Oh she was really in trouble now.
Taking in a deep breath, Lilie squeezed her eyes shut as she was pulled into the water. As she opened her eyes, she froze at the sight of her loved ones all around her. They were just there, lifeless, like they had drowned, and she felt her heart sink as she saw Aaron floating in front of her. She nearly gasped, instinctively reaching out to Aaron, but a sign drifted past her, and she felt her stomach drop. It read Bainbridge River Dam, taunting her, and she realized that she was surrounded by various debris that had given her night terrors for months. Combined with the floating bodies, she immediately knew that the scene was set around her Awakening. How did anyone know about this?! Was this some kind of sick joke?! She looked elsewhere in an attempt to keep herself calm, but whatever composure she had left her as she spotted Ren. Ren, her only brother, drowning in front of her eyes! Lilie felt her lungs constrict as she watched her brother, nearly bursting into tears at the horrible sight and unable to help him no matter how much she tried to free herself.
No, no, it was a trick, none of this was real, nothing around her was there! Wait, no, was this what the riddle meant by water having memory? These weren't memories, these were her deepest fears, her biggest failure, her worst nightmare come to life! She tried not to focus on her surroundings, though it came a little too easily as she felt her chest tighten. Whatever breath she held escaped her, her body screaming at her for air. Was she going to die here? Was she going to end up like Cassandra, her death erased from the public and leaving her family helpless with the truth?

Taking on the challenge with @Bert Macklin.
The pair walked together to the next area, and Lilie had to admit her breath was taken away as she looked around. This place was gorgeous! She had to admit the sight of lightning bugs delighted her to no end, having to resist the urge to try to catch one. Ben moving without her brought her attention back to the scene, plucking her coat's collar off her as she realized how warm it was. Was this magic, too? Not that she minded, she didn't realize how cold it had been, her fingers and cheeks appreciating the new heat.
Since Ben didn't read the riddle out loud, already working on something while she read it herself. Clean, clear mind again--these challenges really had a thing about getting into their heads, didn't they? It seemed pretty straightforward, but one part really confused her. Water has memory? What did that mean? Memory of what? She looked at the pool, frowning to herself. This was the first time she had heard anything like that.
Before she could bring it up, the vampire had already made up his mind. Was that a good idea? Well, he went ahead and jumped in without her--and let her know just how deep the pools were, oh geez--so she might as well follow suit. She took off her coat as well, placing it next to Ben's coat, and took a moment to take off her own boots. As she approached the pool, she carefully wrapped her ponytail up in a bun, exhaling as she looked at the water. Something seemed different about it for some reason, but she couldn't put her finger on why. Still, Ben expected her to just go up like it was nothing! Did he really have that much faith in her?
Letting out a sigh, she decided to test the waters and pulled at the stones. To her surprise, not only was it effortless, but a lot of it responded to her. She beckoned maybe a small stream, but the entire pool seemed to move! Whoa! Was this like a preview of the future? The idea was attractive, Lilie's eyes brightening up at the realization. Okay, time to see what she could do, then!
It was definitely a practice in control more than anything as she tried not to accidentally sweep away Ben, but she had to admit she really liked the feeling. She had to hold herself back numerous times, actively fighting the temptation to push herself--she swore once or twice the water moved just by thinking--but after a little bit of practice, she had a wobbly handle on things. At least, that was her assumption, because no matter how much she moved it around, the glittering rocks always seemed to follow.
Still, she didn't want to time out because she was playing around, so Lilie did as instructed. The water swirled around her with her movements, kneeling down as it collected around her feet, and as she lunged upwards, she was sent flying with the water all around her. Of course, she went higher than expected, missing the second pool entirely and having to hastily pull more water from the thirdpool before she landed safely next to it. Esi's previous warning about making sure she knew how to swim came to mind as she guided it back, and she was glad she managed to get up without hurting herself. At least getting down shouldn't be too hard.
Before Lilie would decide to search, she spotted the podium in the middle. This must be what the riddle was talking about! Parting the water in the pool, she carefully climbed in, boosting herself up as she looked at the koi fish.
"I think I found something!" She called out, carefully picking up the golden fish.
