I'm ready. March eh? Guess it's the tail end of Basketball season then :-P

Just in time to prepare for baseball?  :D

While we're here, I'll give you the lowdown on classes:

The "Powers That Be" of Ambrose Jepson intend students to receive a well-rounded, eclectic education.  You'll get equal parts arts, sciences, liberal arts, social sciences, and athletics.  Think of any classes you think your character would take and pm me an ideal "schedule".

I'll tally the results and pair characters by the most popular choices.

This should be very interesting, haha.

I got a post in on the soundtrack thread, but haven't really been able to introduce myselves.

I'll be taking NPC duties for both Gabriel Booke and Caitlyn Bell, the joint proprietors of Bell & Booke. It's a quiet little used-and-rare bookstore in Columbia Square, known throughout the state for its wide-ranging selection, Mr. Booke's phenomenal ability to identify a desired item from even sketchy descriptions, and his extensive contacts (and corresponding ability to procure almost anything a customer might want).

Caitlyn is known to the clued-in as a practitioner of the Old Faith who also occasionally sings and plays the piano at one of the local coffee houses.

Hi,

I'm going to be playing B.J. Cordova, the school's newest phys ed coach (and possibly <shudder> Cheerleading coach)

The cheerleading team needs a coach?  I would have thought the best coach for them would be a Greyhound Coach one-way to Albuquerque, New Mexico.

yes, we need a cheerleading coach so we can be the best there is.

Someone has to be healthy for when the wacko's blow up everything.

house guests this weekemd... will have limited time until Sunday evening.

Did you mean Garrett?

Yes, I did mean Garrett.  Sorry about that.  This computer's as responsive as a submarine right now and life's too short to wait until I can proofread.  (In fact, life would still be too short if I was a glacier).

Sorry I was so terse; I got cut off by a student coming in and didn't get to finish until I had to race out the door to go teach. Mostly, I was being sure that I wasn't being expected to know something that I don't, yet.

However, everybody feel free to look at something in the storyboards thread. A couple somethings, actually, by the time you read this.

Hah. Last time I had a character wander into that bookstore he failed a covetous check and ended up in a viewing room, absorbed in a book he could barely read... It's possible he starved to death in there. :-P

Darius should have no such compunctions though. Actually, I can't even think of a reasone he'd have ANY desire to enter Bell & Booke :)

I can think of a reason Melba might want to... she's got a crappy job in a video store right now.

Class Schedules--We probably won't go through every day class-by-class.  I'll highlight the classes you're all likely to share.

1st Period:
    English Literature--Buffy, Chan, Garrett, Melba, & Darius (Student Mentor).
    Algebra--Gracie, Scott.

6th Period:
    P.E.--Coach Cordova (teacher), Buffy, Chan, Darius, Garrett, Gracie, Melba, & Scott.


I'll update the list as we go...

So what are we doing in English Lit?  Longfellow? Shakespeare? Snoop Dogg?

Jumping on a plane this afternoon, and will be chaotically traveling/spending-time-with-family over the next few days, then flying home on Saturday. While I'll undoubtedly have internet access, my time will likely be far more impeded than usual.

Yay! DONE! Happy happy!

Congratulations BJ!

COngrats BJ, interestingly enough I was born in Jacksonville, FL :P! Hope everyone had a good Thanksgiving!

Hey all, I'm waiting for Thanksgiving weekend to finish.  We'll let players return & get their bearings. Plus, I work on weekends!  :)  If I see a spot here or there to update, I'll do so.  I just want our "stragglers" to have their chance to post before moving along.

Otherwise, I'll update by Monday! (probably even tomorrow night)

Just back in from my Holiday trip... Unpacking awaits. I intend to catch up on back-posts tonight, and if warranted have out a responsive post tonight or tomorrow.

Yeah, I'm kinda warn out from Thanksgiving. Some shopping (small), some driving around (more) and some drinking (even more) later, I think I'm ready to sleep the rest of the weekend. ;)

Good thing I have nothing to do yet. For the most part. :D

STUDENT MENTOR -> Is this like a Teachers Assistant / Tutor deal? Darius is physically present in the class I imagine?

I am just sitting and waiting in class.

Darius: Yes.  The school encourages older students to mentor the younger ones.  You're functioning as a Teacher's Assistant and receive class credit for it!

Gracie: I'll be updating tomorrow night--I have something in mind for you!  >:D
