Rules

Hider

♦ Follow the Fundamental Guild's Rules.

♦ Additionally, follow anything that I or any of my possible Co-GMs say.

♦ Keep arguments out of the OOC. If you really feel like bickering, do so on PMs.

♦ Don't control other peoples' characters, or NPCs, without permission.

♦ If you have a doubt, suggestion, or complaint communicate it in a civilized way and we will be sure to take it into consideration.

♦ Wait at least 02 posts before posting again IC. OOC is free of this rules as long as you don't bother anyone with constant rapid fire posting.

♦ Only one character per player, at least on the beginning of the story.

♦ Post your character sheets on the OOC or PM them for evaluation before placing them on the CS tab.

♦ While we understand that many people cannot keep a regular posting frequency, the least we ask is for everyone to post at least once per week, or tell us when you cannot do so. In the event that anyone spends more than one week without posting or notifying us, they'll be notified. If there's no reply in the following 03 days, we will move on and place their character "on hold" until their player returns to the RP.

♦ IC posts must have at least one paragraph in length. Furthermore, while we understand that English isn't everyone's 1st language, please, try to write to the best of your skill. A simple proof read before posting can do wonders to remove gross mistakes. I highly suggest using Grammarly for this purpose since it's free and has a very good contextual spell checking.

♦ Avoid using too many collab posts since they have a deep impact on the pacing of the RP. It's not that you cannot do so, but rather that you have to use common sense for when they are actually needed or not. Let's try to keep the IC live, instead of isolating each other in small bubbles.

♦ Remember, good communication is the key for a good group activity like RPing. Don't be a misanthrope, talk to us and we will listen.

♦ Lastly, but not least, have fun. That's the sole reason why we are here, after all.

<Snipped quote by KoL>
Not that you have to do it this way, but I think the only students in a "commons" of sorts would be the scholarship students. Royalty would merit their own rooms, I think.

@Inkarnate

Well, one of the points of the Academy is to promote the thoughts of equality, that's why everyone may share rooms like this and the rooms changed every year. To ensure the maximum social interaction between the girls. If royalty got their own rooms, it would defeat the point.

War Notes

I'll post here tomorrow, probably.

Just letting you know.

Saint Hirst Academy [10/12 Slots]

By the way, the IC is open, people.

I'll have the room arrangements done by the time of the opening ceremony. I'm still deciding if we should go two or three students in a room.

Saint Hirst Academy [10/12 Slots]

Y’all ruining my victorian immersion with ladies in suits, smh.

@Inkarnate

Think of it as the staff being more delusional than the students. That's pretty much likely the case, to say the truth.

Saint Hirst Academy

Another spring had finally come to grace the small nation of Sabrie with warmth and light, after the dark times of winter. The breeze blowing up from the sea carried a soft smell to the mountains near Sabrie's capital, all the way up to the gates of the prestigious Saint Hirst Academy just as its many students arrived at the train station that serviced the Academy.

The opening ceremony, which traditionally happened during the breakfast, was scheduled to begin at 07:00 am, which gave the girls roughly half an hour to rest, meet old acquaintances and friends, and possibly, meet new ones. Luggage wasn't a problem, the Academy's staff was already working on shipping any non-hand carried items to each of the girl's assigned rooms.

Seyrun didn't have any particular haste to get out of the train, preferring to finish her tea before returning the cup to the stewardess. "Thank you. That was the best tea I had in a week," she said with a charming smile gracing her lips.

As soon as the younger girl, who couldn't be older than fifteen began to leave the carriage, Seyrun reached over her seat, retrieved her hand luggage —a small case as well as a rapier emblazoned with Seyrun's personal coat of arms— and left the train once the passage was less crowded by the hasty students.

"The sun in a Mediterranean nation is certainly hard to get used to, after spending the Winter in the North," Seyrun said to herself, as she took a look of the Sabrisian skies while protecting her eyes with a hand. The moment of reflection didn't last for long as Seyrun quickly stepped out of the way of the other girls who were still aboard the train before offering herself to guide a group of newcomers on their way to the Academy's dining hall.

St. Hirst Academy, Dining Hall, Midday

"Indeed, formalities are so boring," Seyrun said, letting out an exaggerated sigh, as she recalled the many social gatherings that she was required to attend as the future representative of her nation. "I understand the reasons behind most of them yet, I always have to force myself to not sleep when I have to listen to the umpteenth candidate to my hand trying to gain my favor while singing praises to their own family or nation. You sure do suffer from that too, don't you, Nadia?"

—X X X X X—

Right after Seyrun made her latest comment, a figure that would be known to the veterans, but not so much to the newcomers, walked into the Dinner Hall. The academy's dean, Headmistress Rachel Elizabeth III, Duchess of Sabrie, an auburn-haired woman whose age-defying appearance was the envy of many students and faculty alike.

"My goodness, if that's not an interesting line up we have here," Rachel said to herself, after setting her eyes on the table occupied by some of the most dignified members of the student body. "I came here expecting to find Sar— excuse me, 'Boss' and Hildr. Nevertheless, this is much more amusing," she added, again to no one in particular.

"Are you having a nice day, Little Ladies?" Rachel said, creeping on from behind Seyrun —who almost jumped out of her skin— while flashing her characteristic cat-like smile at the students. "Oh, why are you so scared, Riviathan? A fencer such as you should be always on her guard, is it not? Fufufu~" she added teasingly. "That said, girls..." she gave a long glance around the, now mostly chamber, before continuing, "I know that the afternoon classes are optional. However, the cleaning staff needs to work. I believe your talk was very good, given that some of you have barely touched your meal but, lunchtime is over. Please, finish your dishes before you leave, the kitchen staff is always disheartened when their work is thrown away."

"Yes, one more thing," Rachel said, tapping her chin with her index, pensively. "Why don't you girls come to the library this evening? I heard rumors that something 'special' will happen," she added while standing close to them, looking at the girls with the gaze of a predatory feline.

The War of the Three

I've actually returned! Just gotta get up to date with the goings on and stuff.

@Lucius Cypher

You didn't lose much. After you went out the only things worthy of note that happened are:

- Diana and Suparna running by and leaving the scene as fast as they came.

- Titanica arriving into the battle by the underground lake/sea/whatever.

- Zeruel and Titanica going big and fighting one another.

- Henry getting a mecha of his own and going big to match them, in order to avenge the loss of his sword to Zeruel.

- Miyu buffing Henry's mecha.

- Khaine dropping the ceiling on people's heads.

- Suparna attempting (in vain) to spew some maggots on Titanica.

- And finally, Titanica doing an area nuke.

That's pretty much it up to @thewizardguy's latest post, which I haven't read yet. The order may not be the same, but given the chaos around the battle, order matters little to nothing.

The War of the Three

I really, really don't think that we need to keep an order of turns as long as things remain logical.

This battle has been going for at least a month now, we really should start to consider how/when to close it. There's no need to rush, but certainly, moving toward the conclusion would be satisfying at this point, before it drags into Dragon Ball levels of compressed time.

Nevertheless, if you wish to keep a post order, at least communicate a bit more with one another to be sure that these tangles don't keep happening. I think we have to deal with one of these almost every week here.

@Bushman501

Your character is ok as well. You can move her to the CS tab.
