stairway to heaven

Quinn was actually faintly pleased with herself today at the shop. The weekly nonsense in the park hadn't gotten her dirty at all, and she'd done pretty well on the last two courses.

The podracing had actually been . . . fun?

She hadn't really been aware that she could still experience "fun".

And she had this badass turtle shirt now.

So she was actually kind of smiling today, as she spun back and forth in her seat behind the sales counter. Even the weird "you're being watched" feeling that tended to accompany her shifts in the store (and her walks down the street, and her time chilling in her own room) didn't bother her too much.

Was.

Was it possible that.

Could life sometimes still be. . . .

. . . Good?

Huh.

Good morning, listeners! It is I, Sam Eagle, here to report the news from yesterday. It seems your regular broadcaster for Wednesdays has been turned into a koala. The man did not even have the decency to turn into a bird! Very well.

For classes at the school we began with my class on (Even More) American National Parks where we watched a thrilling docuseries on what some have called America’s best idea. In Paintball! a bird won the game as is proper. And there were puppies which is frankly quite weird even if those puppies do belong to Captain America. After the class concluded, Detective Watts who is unfortunately Canadian, stopped to speak with Captain Rogers and thank him with a bottle of wine.

There are no notes from the dorms which pleases me but does please the small, strange bird in this studio. Why he would want to know what happens in student rooms is a mystery.

Now we shall move to the town which was certainly weird as it included Stark turning into a koala at the diner when the poor beleaguered chef, Ignis, was simply trying to do a thorough cleaning of the place while listening to an attempted apology. Afterwards the chef threatened to take care of the situation. If there are unknown meats on the menu today they not be consumed! After that, Liliana, who has become a cat which is even worse than a koala, cats eat smaller birds, came to visit and did not turn back to her usual self. These transformations are getting out of wing! Out of hand!

Gladio of the magnificent tattoo dealt with weird gremlins climbing on his equipment.

*snickering*

Quiet! That is improper!

At Caritas Ms. Pryde-Barton had to deal with Tino the bartender and I am given to understand that is worse than weird gremlins, somehow. There were arguments about beer. Everyone knows that Sam Adams is the correct choice of lager! The establishment was patronized by none other than Captain America himself, Steve Rogers who showed off pictures of his puppies and ordered the wrong beer and there are notes here that seem to have been hastily erased. Very suspicious, squirrels. All I can make out is the word ‘cute.’ That could mean anything! If you must spy on everyone at least do it properly.

Prompto faced the daunting task of repairing his daughter’s beloved camera at The Photo Hut. I hope that went well. Children can be so unreasonable about these things.

Remy who I am assured is not French, brought his cats to work with him. That seems unwise in a shop with breakable items, sir! His employer was not pleased to see the cats at first but did eventually offer them treats rather than feeding them to a hyena.

Finally, it seems that Steph was at home playing some sort of roleplaying game on her computer and then Vi offered to help her cool down.

And there you have it, Fandom, all the news from yesterday that was fit for squirrels to print. Good day!

"Today we're living life a quarter mile at a time," Anakin announced with a grin, "and if you weren't at the movie night on Monday, you'll just have to be confused for a second. Today is all about car racing!"

He looked at the two tracks he'd set up, neither of which featured cars (one was tricycles, and one was rickshaws), and shrugged. "Well. Sort of. Listen for your names! Today it's every person for themselves, but you will be moving in groups of four."

Yes, individual glory even if the movie had been about family. Anakin liked to keep you on your toes.

Ragefest had actually been over since the weekend, but Summer clearly hadn't been ready to let the party finish quite then, staying on a few extra days to just sort of suck down those last few dregs of debauchery and dalliance and turn her eyes toward a more chill presence there. The jello shots, after all, had been a hit and her partying/networking, of course, got people buzzing, but there were a few logistical hurdles she was having trouble clearing. And, of course, last night was meant to be one last hurrah of District jumping and Guild gallivanting, which was slightly dampened by the unexpected arrival of an ex-turned-koala.

Of course she didn't let that stop her, but it did sort of screw with her hook-up plans. Postpone them, really. Because she was going to figure out a way to make this new jello venture happen, even if she had to pull some strings with the Living Guildpact himself.

(Which, wouldn't you know it, definitely seemed like an option!)

But she wasn't thinking about any of that today, because today, she was back at Fandom, back behind the bar, and serving jello to her loyal friends and fans for at least one more time. With a koala set up nearby with his own special tray of eucalyptus jello (she considered making them boozy, but realized that she did not have the energy after nearly two week so straight off-the-walls partying to deal with what a koalalien was like when drunk), she was here and feeling pretty excited about it.

Class was not meeting outside Portalocity today. No, today was going to continue the fine American schooling tradition of a movie day!

“Students! Welcome! Today we shall be watching the first episode of a documentary series by the great Ken Burns on America’s National Parks! This series is called The National Parks: America’s Best Idea though I am not entirely convinced they are the single best idea they are certainly a great one!”

Movie days were also a great idea in case anyone was wondering.

“So. No time to lose. Let us begin with the first episode entitled The Scripture of Nature!”

The cats had decided that tagging along with Remy to work was The Thing To Do apparently. And Remy wasn't doing a whole lot to dissuade them. They'd done alright last week, after all. They'd probably be fine this time, too.

"Lucifer!" Remy barked. "What are you eating?!"

Lucifer (the cat) hunched over, further hiding what he was chewing on from sight. Oliver, perched on Remy's shoulder, whined. Was he telling on his brother? Jealous of his brother? Who knew?

". . . Merde," Remy said, looking around. "Figaro! Figaro, where'd you get off to? Figaro!"

He was probably going to have to try and set this boundary a little more firmly in the future.

There were dogs at the class again! Fortunately, one of them was no longer Steve, and the puppies--one Husky and one Belgian Shepherd--seemed to be doing their best to listen to him. (Their best wasn't great, but they were trying!)

"Hi everyone!" Steve said.

"Meet our newest assistants, Liberty and Fee," Tony said brightly, holding up a pair of dog harnesses that held little paintball guns on them. "They'll be going through the obstacle course we've set up along with you as some extra opponents."

Oh no, they'd armed the puppies.

"Or they'll just tackle you and drool," Steve said with a chuckle. "They aren't very intimidating."

The course in question might look vaguely familiar, but they were human sized. And that'd be fun for everyone, right?

Prompto had a camera to work on that Tuesday in the shop, but it wasn't one from the usual broken camera guy. In fact, that guy hadn't been in with a broken camera in ages, instead popping in now only for more film or accessories or to get Prompto's advice on setting up his own dark room, which was very cool.

No, today's repair was for a much more intimidating and nerve-wracking client: Noctra. She'd finally busted her little My First Camera they'd gotten her (honestly, Prompto was surprised it lasted as long as it did!), and so of course he was going to do everything he could to fix it.

It was....surprisingly more difficult from some of his other repairs, too, and he wondered if that wasn't just the pressure of disappointing this particular client that made it harder work.

Unless by some miracle of timing, it would seem that the betting board would be filled with disappointment yet again this week, as Ignis didn't suspect Liliana would just so happen to turn back into herself in time for their usual lunchtime rendevous at the diner. There was a possibility, of course, but he was still going to use this probable prospect of not being interrupted to focus a little bit more on his work.

Specifically in leading the charge on a good deep cleaning of kitchen.

It had benefits two-fold: not only was the kitchen going to be immacculate by the time they were done with it, but anyone who found those typical interruptions annoying would likely change their mind when this was the other option!

witchoftheflesh posting in

Good morning, Fandom. It is I, Boston, familiar to Adrian Blackwood. Ms. Finch, the normal reporter, is indisposed, and somehow the squirrels have decided that it should be my witch's problem. Since he is currently a plant, it falls to me to read these notes. That being said, rodents, while I am generally above chasing you, I am occasionally willing to make exceptions. Are we clear?

*intimidated chittering*

Excellent.

I believe it is customary to start with School, so we shall do so. Teamwork paired people up and gave them false offspring to care for. Well, that is surely going to go well. 2 Problem 2 Creative had a distinct lack of cats in class and tried to pass that off as a good thing. They also had to order pizza but without saying specific words. I believe there's a board game with a similar premise. How To Waste Time On The Internet talked about watching longer and more relaxing videos, and yesterday would have been an excellent time to have discussed TikTok - I believe that is the app, being a cat I would not know, obviously - but, sadly, the class did not. Thinking on it further, I don't think it's important or necessary to spend any time on it at all in any future classes. Last, Destiny & Free Will discussed the semantics and the difference between fate and destiny. A fascinating topic, and a pity I missed it.

No Dorms, and so we go to Town. The Magpie Emporium had a great deal of pizza, but these notes assure me that no amount of pizza is too much pizza. Interesting, especially since I had not asked. Pizza Planet quiet, a little too quiet, and Officer McGarrett was taking down suspect information at the Trooper Station. The Clinic was a hotbed of anxiety due to pacing, and the notes have no word on whether or not it was resolved.

There was also a movie showing at the park. Plenty of people attended, including Mr. Gray, both Miss Zarrins, Ms. Pryde-Barton who had set the whole movie up, and Captain Flint. Ms. Skywalker and Mr. J. Stark caught up with each other, neither of them having seen the movies and both keeping busy. Mr. J. Stark has also spent a great deal of time...making breakfast for a cat? I approve. More people should prepare meals for their cats. Miss Skywalker also shared food with Mr. Raiden and they discussed history. Mr. Skalitz - Mr. Of Skalitz, perhaps? - received a brief explanation of what movies and explosions are from Mr. Rogers, before Mr. Skalitz began focusing on the dogs accompanying Mr. Rogers. Mmmm. I suppose that's a choice. Ms. Ingram - hmmm - and Mr. Amicitia were also watching the movie for the first time and had a picnic basket to share. Mrs. Solo-Fel was there with Mr. Fel and their sons, and they were joined by Mr. Skywalker and his son, who also discussed snacks. This appears to be a very snack-forward group. Understandable. Treats are very important. I haven't had any in days. Mr. Argentum and Mrs. Solo-Fel left the topic of snacks to discuss children, specifically their own, and not random urchins, probably because this isn't a Dickensian novel. Mr. Rogers caught up with his husband, Mr. T. Stark, to continue the custom of conversing about snacks, though in this case, the snacks in question were charcuterie and wine. Oh, and the dogs were there, which apparently concerned Doctor Blake and delighted Mr. J. Stark.

That is all the news the squirrels have, since presumably conversation and activity stopped when the movie began. Since I am finished here, I believe it is time that I, too, found something to eat. Fortunately, I still have Adrian's credit card. If he didn't want this many sushi purchases, he shouldn't have been a plant.

Good morning ~~despite the timestamp no the player didn't forget that Mondays still happen even on vacation shut up~~, and welcome to your recap of yesterday's goings-on.

Miss Skywalker was celebrating her birthday at work with a free drink courtesy of the Starbucks. Happy belated birthday!

And in other birthday related news, Dr. Quinn received a delivery of a potted plant. Happy belated birthday as well, Dr. Quinn.

It was not the elder Miss Zarrin's birthday, but that did not stop her from enjoying a blended coffee and some pastries over at the Perk.

That is all there is to speak of for yesterday. Until next time, Fandom.

Coffees had been brought to the clinic and the crab was being...well, himself. But more so.

Stabby was pacing anxiously outside the perimeter of his tank. The nurses weren't sure why but it seemed best to leave him be.

The pacing waa making Stark anxious as well though.

The clinic was open, the crab was anxious, and the alien was anxious and on as well.

Jon nodded to his class. He...was not in a bad mood. Look, this class might be pointless, but at least it wasn't stressful.

"One of the best ways to waste time on the internet is to watch videos. They take longer than pictures, after all, and unlike music or podcasts, you can't really multitask while watching them." He frowned. "I assume. Normal humans can't really, anyway." He shook himself. He was not going to attempt multitasking right now.

Instead, he held up his phone. "You'll find some videos on Instagram and other social media, but there are two main sources for them: Youtube and TikTok. I tend to mostly use Youtube because the videos are longer and the search function isn't quite so egregiously horrible." Also because he was a Millennial and not Gen Z, but hush.

"Cat videos are wonderful, but don't tend to be very long, so if you're looking to really waste a lot of time, I encourage you to look up how-to videos, science demonstrations, house renovations, and that sort of thing. Oh, and if you want to waste a bit of time but not quite that much, this little gear here lets you switch them to double speed, so you can watch the same thing but faster."

He nodded. "Right, so - find something and share it, and let's all waste time."

Seriously - least. Stressful. Class. Ever.

Steve was on the phone with the Baltimore police. "No," he said. "No. No, sir, we haven't seen anything like that, but if we do run into two Welsh guys and a stolen penguin named Dirk, you'll be our first call."

He hung up and turned to Calvin. "Can you go check in with the raccoons and check that there's not a new penguin here named Dirk?"

How was this his life. How.

The Trooper Station was open, especially if you were a penguin named Dirk.

Class today met down at the pond, as Ghanima felt like feeding the flamingos.

"Today, children, we discuss semantics," Ghanima said briskly from her seat on the grass. "Although the words are used interchangeably in many cases, fate and destiny can be, and should be, distinguished." She smiled slightly as Trebor dug his hands in the grass and giggled. "Don't groan at me. Semantics are your friends, I promise. When you know a word, inside and out, it becomes more than a word. It's a friend, a weapon, and a great source of fun at the expense of other people."

( 'Fate is not the ruler, but the servant of Providence.' -- Edward G. Bulwer-Lytton )

"So, let's chat. Semantics and harbingers of fate. I'm curious to hear what you think."

When the students came in, they were greeted by table and chair with a pizza box (sadly empty), and a strange object sitting on it.

"Good morning, everyone," Anakin said. "I am still not a cat!"

Congratulations, Anakin.

"There are also far fewer cats involved in this week's class," Ahsoka remarked, almost regretfully.

Anakin looked smug. "Yes, there are." Unless someone brought in a cat as a satisfying thing to touch.

Let's be real, there was a non-zero chance someone had. Speaking off, it was time to touch all the things that had been brought in.

"Homework first and then we will explain the pizza box," Anakin said. Well. Sort of explain it.

If you ever felt you knew less by the time these classes ended than when they started, it was possibly entirely by design.

Once all the things had been touched and judged. Ahsoka continued "Your task today is to order a pizza."

"Yes," Anakin said, eyes twinkling. "Using that phone, order an extra large vegetarian pizza with pepperoni and bacon, and without tomato and cheese. You may not use the following words: extra; large; vegetarian; pizza; pepperoni; bacon; tomato; or cheese."

"You will also receive a bonus point if you can get the person taking your call to say ''bubbles," Ahsoka added.

The park was set up with a large screen for the movie to project onto, the sound system was up and working, and there was plenty of room for people to spread out with blankets, chairs, picnic supplies, or whatever else they might have brought. Alcohol was fine as long as you kept in mind that this was a family-friendly event, in that younger kids would only probably really be interested in the cars and older kids might enjoy the actual movie.

So come one and come all, and watch yourselves some 2 Fast 2 Family.

Jaina was back this week, and looking a little too excited about today.

"In case you were not aware," Jag began, "we are the parents of twins, which at times has been... challenging going."

"The early days were hell," Jaina stated simply.

"I wouldn't go quite that far," he said.

"I would," Jaina said. "They cry and you have no idea why, at any time of day. Sometimes they cry just to cry. You're constantly trying to make sure they don't kill themselves by accident. You don't sleep a whole night through. People try to tell you what you're doing is wrong even though you know it's fine. And most of the time you're trying to do it all around the things you had to do before, like work and chores."

"Today you will be given droid babies," Jag told them. "You will be paired up, and it's your responsibility to work out co-parenting. The babies will cry, they will need to be fed, they will need to be entertained. They will continue crying until you solve the problem. You are not allowed to break them, use powers on them, or do anything along the lines of locking them in a closet. Next week you will report back on how things went and how you worked with your partner."

"Good luck and may the For e be with you," Jaina said, and that's how you knew you were in trouble.

If it weren't so dang hot out, Luma might have been inclined to go on a nice run today. She was feeling pretty restless, though, and unwilling to just stay inside, so she figured it would be a good idea to grab some new book she'd picked up recently that sounded promising and head to the Perk for one of those yummy blended coffee drinks, and a cinnamon roll, too.

Oooh, or perhaps one of those berry tarts!

No, no. The cinnamon roll.

But those tarts...

Hello everyone! It's time again for applications!

To apply, read the following information, click the link to the application form, fill it out for the character you want to play, and send it off!

( The basics you need to know )

* At this point, the school is now officially a collegiate setting. All student applications must be for college students or grad students.

* Teachers are required to teach at least one class/workshop per week, and be accessible to students when needed. This also applies for characters applying to teach an adult class at the Community Center, rather than one at the school.

* If you would like to apply for a new character to teach an adult workshop, fill out the Character Application exactly as if you were applying for a teacher, but mark it "Townie" instead. Note in the Course Description that it would be an adult workshop, not a student workshop. Because of the need to keep track of the adult workshops being offered and start them at the same time, these applications will be processed on the same schedule as student/teacher applications.

* Current townies or teachers can also apply to teach an adult workshop. If you would like to teach an adult workshop with a current character, you can fill out a limited application by following the instructions here.

* See this post for more about character activity.

* All accepted characters go on probation for the first month. After that time, if there's anyone who's disappeared or is causing problems, we'll talk to them about it and possibly discuss removal from the game. It's very difficult to get to the removal stage.

* Improvisation. Fandom High is a balance between planning and improvisation. Some people plan plots, but a lot of the day-to-day stuff is purely improvisation where you throw a bunch of characters together and see what happens.

( What’s needed to apply )
( Early applications )
( What happens once you’ve applied )
( Notes for Current Players )
( Notes for New Players )

Application Form (This is a GDoc whose text you can paste into an e-mail or attach as a txt file, then send to us at fandomhighadmins dot iambicnut dot com.)

You only need to fill out the parts that are relevant to the type of character you are applying for (ie: if you're a student applicant, don't fill in the stuff marked 'Townies Only').

If you don't get a confirmation email from us within 24 hours, please email us!

Applications close August 17th at 11:59pm Eastern. The next application session for students and teachers after this will be for the Summer session in April!

Got a question? We're here to answer it!

Okay, it's Sunday once again... and there are notes! A change from how things have gone recently. Let's get started with the new brunch place, Over Easy where Raiden contemplated a healthy diet for a bird before a black cat who is actually Liliana came looking for food. Well. So long as she doesn't turn into a pony, I guess it's not stealing my thing. Over at Caritas, Jane dealt with Tino being Tino about the drink specials. That fully tracks from my brief interactions with him, yes.

And that is all there is. So everyone enjoy yourselves. Hope to see people tomorrow at the movies in the park.

Good morning, everyone--and it is a good morning, as there were no horrid 'drills' yesterday, so let us learn what did happen, shan't we?

At the school, Drama in the Park-a-Rama announced the cast of their play, and Markets of the Worlds visited a farmer's market on Dantooine. There was produce, of a sort. Mr. Rand claimed he was too 'New York' to enjoy the experience. First Aid reviewed proper triage procedure, with Captain Flint having some questions about...amputations.

Let's move along quickly from that, shall we? I've nothing for the dormitory, but in the town, Detective Watts was singing at the Trooper Station before he was joined for luncheon by Mr. Grant. Miss Eleanor was working on some sleep aids at Plant Parenthood, whilst at Needful Things, it seems hand fans were on sale--most needful in this weather--and I've a note that it will be Dr. Quinn's birthday tomorrow! Many happy returns, Miss. Miss Skywalker was dealing with a plague of confetti at her warehouse, which caused Dean Skywalker to worry he had missed some sort of celebration. Dr. Isley took a break from her research at Pick Your Poison to take a walk with Dr. Quinn. And lastly, but far from least, Dr. Pryde-Barton was about town putting up flyers for a "movie night" in the park on Monday evening. It seems they shall be showing 2 Fast 2 Family, a thrilling tale of fast cars and even faster friendships, and I'm sure it shall be a lovely time for all, even though I'm not sure how entertaining automobiles can be. Until next week, dear listeners!

Today Lana was in her casual-for-her-own-galaxy clothing, meaning a tunic and leggings with armored boots. She greeted them all with a smile as they waited for the portal. "Today we're headed to Dantooine for a farmer's market. Blba Groves is where they hold their Spring Abundance festival; we're a bit late for that, but they still have plenty of vegetables, fruits, and pies."

She hesitated. "You probably won't enjoy the one with tentacles, but far be it from me to order you not to try it."

The portal arrived, and they stepped out onto a square that was composed of stone, with little booths around it and various species offering the fruits (ha) of their labors. Outside of the area they were in, there were a few small houses, then grass and farmlands as far as they could see.

They were immediately bombarded by calls from farmers to come inspect their goods.

"Enjoy yourselves; we've got about an hour." No time shenanigans today; you wouldn't need any longer.

Pam would be lying if she said she wasn't concerned about the data she was dragging - with difficulty - out of her lamia research, or the pace at which she was creating antidotes. Very, very, very much lying.

It was dragging her away from Gotham, away from Harley, and to her lab more and more often. She felt... a little guilty about that. Especially now, with the latest batch cooking upstairs. She should be heading home, tucking in for a lavish weekend with the girlfriend. Instead, she was here. Back on the steps of Pick Your Poison, sipping from a glass of water to calm the annoying churn under her ribs, and watching her plants grow.

Faster and faster. Some of the vines were already halfway up the side of the doorframe.

Well. At least they were absolutely sure now that Harley was right about her old powers not being quite gone.
