TEST DRIVE MEME - APRIL
TESTDRIVE MEME
IC Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation
Spring is right around the corner with the passing of the Equinox, and with the season comes the changing of quarters. Vacation is on everyone’s minds, but so are lovely flowers, unfortunately timed april showers, and the prospect of getting brand new digs. Watch out - mortals aren’t the only ones finding themselves more active this season. A. Mushroom, Mushroom, Oooooh it’s a…. badger????
With the advent of spring comes new and interesting growth. Circles of mushrooms, more commonly known in folklore around the world as fairy rings, are beginning to sprout anywhere green on campus.
You’d be wise to heed the warnings of old stories, though; anyone who steps into a fairy ring will find themselves changed once they emerge from it, entirely at the mercy of the fae magic that created the ring. It might be nothing more than a simple change of hair colour or facial features, or it could be as alarming and startling as an entire change of species.
To restore yourself back to normal, you’ll have to find another fairy ring and step through it. Considering they’re all around campus, it’s probably not a hard task...but you’d better watch your step, or you might find yourself going through several involuntary shifts before you regain your form again!
B. Poisson, not Poison
April Fools! Or April’s Fish as it is known in France. For reasons even the locals don’t know, the prankster holiday has a long association with fish, and it’s not difference on campus. It’s a yearly tradition to play a game of ‘tag the fish’, where students and faculty alike race to see who can stick the most fish - Paper, though it hasn’t stopped people from using literal fish - onto victims by noon. Winners of this little contest are treated to a special dinner.
There is absolutely no fishy business about the dinner, the staff assures you.
C. Clean Room, Clean Room, Move Down!
With Winter Quarter coming to an end and Spring Quarter starting up, students are given the option to move dorms. As students make (or lose) friends, it is not uncommon for them to want to room together or very, very far apart and the Academy is happy to facilitate this. And so, in the weeks leading up to Spring break students are able to submit room change requests, which, once approved, will give them a few weeks to clear out of their old dorm entirely and move into their new one. This can be quite the process and while the school does make moving equipment available in the form of boxes, dollies, and golf carts, students are typically on their own. With so many moving dorms at the same time, it can be a haphazard time, especially with all the golf carts whizzing about.
D. How I will Spend My Spring Vacation (text)
Hey everyone, Spring break’s coming, aren’t you excited?! I know not everyone’s going to be going on the school sponsored trip, so let’s hear where you’re doing for vacation! And if you can’t go anywhere neat, let’s hear about your dream destination!
[ The answers are, naturally, public. ]

[Inside the theatre building are several practice rooms for music, storage spaces for props and costumes, and at the end of the hall is the theatre itself. It's quite a large space and very well-kept, lots of gold and white and intricate murals on the walls near the seats. It is France, after all.]
Isn't it amazing~!?
no subject
[ As he lead her around the building and showed her room after room, she couldn't help but be amazed. This facility was more than she could hope for. Probably even more since she had never seen a facility so beautiful before. ]
It is ... it is absolutely beautiful. A lot of effort was given to the design and functionality.
Is your play going to be held here? Would I need to acquire tickets?
no subject
[He doesn't know if they actually would, unsure if any of them sing.]
Yeah, it will be here! I don't think you need tickets, but maybe you do because it would be a fire hazard if too many people came!
[And there's a 60% chance there will be a fire.]
I'll have to ask and get back to you on that!

[That's what they warn you about. She looks worried, though, so maybe he shouldn't talking about fires at all.]
But that's hypothetical~! Nothing will happen~! So, you sing, you said!? I want to hear!
[He waves at the stage.]
no subject
She steps onto the stage and begins to spin, surprised and amused by the size of it. She had sang in school theaters before, but this was by far the biggest. ]
I do. I would love to sing here someday.
no subject
[She seems to be enjoying herself, and anything that makes people forget about Nightfall is good.]
Sing something for me~!
no subject
Despite being on the stage, there was no microphone or accompaniment and only one audience. She did not mind this.
She instead stands in the middle of the stage and begins to sing. ]
no subject
T-that's beautiful! You should start the glee club!
no subject
Thank you. That means a lot to me.
I will still have to see about the glee club though. I do not have any experience starting one, so I might have to look that up.
I'd love to do a musical with your club one day though.
