Uncaffeinated Reminders

[bigdamnprincipal]

Oh god, why is the coffee not ready yet? Ahem. As a reminder, folks:

- Signups for new roommates end tonight, as does applying to be a big sibling. We are still looking for some siblings, so make sure to check that post out!

- Workshop signups close Wednesday night, so make sure you've got all your students where you'd like them to be!

Questions, comments, creamer?

NEWBIE SHUTTLE!!!!!!1one

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

Newbie shuttle time is indeed at hand! Along with, of course, the newbies. Watch me use the post stolen from so, so many before me!

Our local airport (BWI) has a Portalocity (interdimensional travel service) port and lounge. Students can arrive by either plane or portal and gather in the lounge until a bus from Fandom shows up to take them to the island. This is completely optional; your new characters are still welcome to arrive on the island in any manner you choose.

What we need: One new student character to put up the post and OCD, and at least one teacher or adult to drive the bus and greet the students. Traumatizing them before they reach the island is optional. The post should be made Friday Night (May 6th) sometime between 4pm-6pm Eastern, but be set for Saturday morning (before the picnic).

Newly arriving students are welcome to join the post and get to know a few of their fellow newbies before actually getting to the island. New teachers are welcome to grab a lift as well. Check out the links above if you want to read previous newbie shuttle posts.

May Birthday List + Master List

[life_inshadow]

It's a new semester, which means it's time for a repost of the birthday master list. This gets posted on the first of every month, give or take, and the master list is reposted at the start of each semester. Listed birthdays may be based on canon, actor birthdates, astrology, throwing darts at the calendar, and anything else that works OOC and IC. This isn't written in stone -- if you need to change a birthday for whatever reason, be it Jossing or IG plot demands, it can be changed on the list.

The list is of character birthdays, but it's for OOC knowledge; birthdays aren't announced within the game without player permission.

Got it? Good. Comment with any additions or changes. Also, if there's a dropped pup still hanging out on here, please let me know -- I try to keep the list to current characters in hopes of making it slightly less epic in length.

Random Event! - Aye, Que Bueno

[mouthy-merc.livejournal.com]

So, the island moved through time and space. And you thought you were safe from insanity for a little while, didn't you?

HA!

This Thursday, May 5th, is Cinco de Mayo and to celebrate the occasion, it will rain sombreros all over the island. Oh, and what Cinco de Mayo would be complete without a (completely moddable) lil' mariachi band running around to serenade people? Vikings who have found those sombreros will be taking up the task as best they can!

...expect a lot of ABBA. I'm just sayin'.
