Newbie Shuttle Volunteers!

[solarhippie]

The new kids are almost here (YAY), so that means it's also almost newbie shuttle time! So let me once again get my copypasta on:

Our local (for relative value of 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 (August 24th) 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.

Volunteers, questions, comments, nachos?

(Yes, I am now going back to edit purely because I just wanted to get in there all "FIRST!!!!" I might be a little excited about having a newbie, hush.)

*shakes fist*

IN JANUARY, I WILL COMMENT WITH MY NEWBIE TO CLAIM THE SHUTTLE BEFORE THE SIGN-UP POST EVEN GOES UP. SO THERE.

(Except probably not, and I'm not even sure I'll have a January newbie, but it feels like the thing to say.)

I WILL FIGURE OUT TIME TRAVEL SO I CAN CLAIM THE JANUARY SIGN-UP POST WITH MY EQUALLY HYPOTHETICAL NEWBIE RIGHT NOW.

SO THERE.

I WILL ABUSE MY ADMIN POWERS TO CLAIM THE JANUARY SIGN-UP POST WITH MY HIGHLY-UNLIKELY NEWBIE BECAUSE AHAHAHA HAVE YOU MET ME WITH MULTIPLE STUDENTS SO IT NEVER GETS POSTED AT ALL. IN YOUR FACE, MISS POCKET FULL OF SUNSHINE.

[dirtiest-skank.livejournal.com]

I WILL CALL FOR A TRIBUNAL OVER YOUR ADMIN POWERS ABUSE, THEN TAKE YOUR NEWBIE SHUTTLE CLAIM FOR MY OWN AS A SETTLEMENT.

YEAH. SO THERE.

AND GODDAMMIT YOU EARWORMED ME. I FELL ON MY OWN KNIFE, AGAIN.

April would love to drive if there are no other takers!

Well, no, she would hate to drive, but I would love to make her.

ETA: *eyes twitter* OR PERHAPS THERE ARE LANNISTERS WHO WOULD LIKE TO, IN WHICH CASE I WOULD HAPPILY CONCEDE.

[ultron_junior]

Nope, all yours! though the idea of Tyrion someday taking lessons is a fascinating and terrifying thought.

SCORE. \o/

And I say DOOOO IT.
