Newbie Shuttle!

[endsthegame]

New students, new shuttles! And old copypasta! 'Tis time again for the newbie shuttle!

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 (January 2nd) sometime between Big Fat Quiz Time and Big Fat Quiz Time End 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 link above if you want to read previous newbie shuttle posts.

Volunteers, questions, comments?

I'd love to have Jono be one of the adults again! He so enjoys breaking the newbies in a little. :D

[saddeserthermit]

Break those little scamps, Jono. Break 'em good.

[furnaceface]

Oh, there will be gleefully sadistic snarking the whole way to the island!

[talentforlying]

I have been informed this is now the Jon & John Party Bus.

God have mercy on your souls, since we probably won't.

\o/

The Jon and John Party Bus is the bestest!

[furnaceface]

PARTY BUS PARTY BUS

I promise we won't paint the Union Jack on the roof this semester!

Probably.

[sharp_as_knives]

Doooooo eeeeeet! :D

I would SO throw Bob at this, if it weren't for the whole "can't leave the island" thing. *sulk*

[furnaceface]

Maybe someday!

//I'm Professor Starsmore - Please for the love of God just call me Jono - and this is the chap who'll be keeping an eye on you while I drive.// *Pats skull*

Bob: *sniffs disdainfully, crosses his arms and narrows his eyes, looks intimidating*

"I'm Bob."

[talentforlying]

Paint? Nah, mate, we don't got time for that if we want to stop at the import store with the real beer.

Tape a flag to the back window, now, we might be able to swing that.

[furnaceface]

... You drink the beer once we've parked it again, I'll bring the flag and the tape. It's a deal.

[suitably_heroic]

I have decreed the Jon & John Party Bus...

...acceptable.

[talentforlying]

Fucking hell, mate, if I'm now 'acceptable,' then I'm slipping in my old age.

Right. Time to make more poor life choices.

[suitably_heroic]

Hey, if you'd actually met me, I could've said 'have you met me? I've met worse.'.

Zoe: *closes office door tightly to hide any cackling*

[talentforlying]

This is your revenge on the school board, isn't it? Sending us poor sods to bring in the new meat?

[furnaceface]

Honestly, mate, I feel more sorry for the new meat than the school board.

... Though I'll admit I wouldn't mind seeing their faces, either.

[talentforlying]

I think she's just hoping we break the really obnoxious ones before we get 'em all the way to the island. That way they don't end up in her office later.

[furnaceface]

If there's another Jamie Madrox in this batch, you mean?

Oh, that'll be fun.

[talentforlying]

What the hell's a Madrox?

[furnaceface]

Probably th'biggest thorn in any Fandom teacher's side. Of all time.

And there were as many of him as he bloody well pleased.

...

Made good sock puppets, though.

[bigdamnprincipal]

I can neither confirm nor deny, but really, sometimes the rude awakenings work best.

[princessarcasm.livejournal.com]

Amy can post, unless someone else is dying to!

[saddeserthermit]

Woot!
