Invites + Newbie Shuttle!

[endsthegame]

Hey, folks! It's time again for two classic start-of-the-term things:

1) All new characters should have gotten invites to fandomhigh_ooc, fandomhigh, fandomtownies and fandomhighdorms last weekend. If you did not get invites for one or more of these comms, please let us know so we can fix it quick.

2) Yep! We need volunteers 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 (August 26th) 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 link above if you want to read previous newbie shuttle posts.

Volunteers, questions, comments?

Eliot can drive the shuttle, if no one else wants it.

And if there are no objections for a currently-not-teaching adult, Hardison would be happy to accompany the driver!

ANNOYANCE FOR EVERYONE!

"Stop touchin' the radio, man!"

"But I gotta play the roadtrip mix!"

"No. Nonono, you are not going to --"

*two good old boys, behind the wheeeeeeeeeeeel*

"WE'RE NOT EVEN IN YOUR VAN."

"An' why not, I gotta ask you? Lucille is a million times better'n this old thing. Yo, does it even got AC? AN' WHO STILL USES A DAMN TAPEDECK?! That's it, next con, we're donatin' money to the school so it can buy a decent shuttle from this century!"

[vdistinctive]

"The school is a castle that spent the summer in space, I'm pretty sure money is not the issue." *whaps Hardison's hand* "Stop touching things! For all you know this thing has rocket boosters!"

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"Well, I don't know how much they spend investin' in glitter futures! An' just what do you think I'm lookin' for? I wanna get back to the island before the picnic is over an' classes have begun!"

[vdistinctive]

"Yeah, you know how you could have accomplished that? BY STAYING HOME."

[geniuswithasmartphone]

"But then you wouldn't have had company!"

Since there's no one else, you guys go on and take it!
