Newbie Shuttle!

[likethegun]

Newbie time is almost upon us again, and that means it's almost time for the newbie shuttle! To steal borrow the explanation from the lovely wantstodirect:

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 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.

Questions? Volunteers?

ETA: Returning students are totally welcome to come on the shuttle as well!

Ooh! I volunteer to make the post!

[likethegun]

Yaaaay thank you!

Question! Caaaaan returning students who are not new but have been gone for the summer hitch a ride on the shuttle? I'm sure you can guess why I'm asking that one.

And volunteer! Minsc would love to greet the new students and lead them through rousing bus songs on the way to the island. Mwa ha ha. He doesn't know how to drive, though, but if no one else volunteers, he can sure as hell try. Which should be fun for everyone.

You all make him feel so loved!

And, lulz, is that a yes, no, just a hold over until you guys decide, or an excuse for me to use this icon?

That was a 'whoops, forgot to ask, I was just excited!' and now I shall go get you your answer!

[not-a-mused.livejournal.com]

Eeeeee. Now I'm all excited 'cause you're excited. It's just a great warm cuddly circle of excitement. =D

Gonna hitch a ride
Head for the other side
Leave it all behind
Never change my mind
Gonna sail away
Sun lights another day
Freedom on my mind
Carry me away for the last time

[Which is a really bad, really OLD SKOOL MUSICKAL way of saying Cal (and any returning student!) is welcome to hitch a ride!
