AUGUST TEST DRIVE MEME
IC Comm | Network Comm | OOC Comm | Navigation

August is the last month of break before the return of school, all over Europe offices are empty as it was peak time for employees to take their well-earned vacation. The weather is still scorching, and brains are melting, but it won’t be long before autumn comes - so enjoy it while you can.


A. Voluntelling

While the Academy pays for all expenses trips to exotic locales for vacation, there is a quiet expectation that when problems arise that students will jump up and take care of the problem wherever it arises, even if it means interrupting a well-earned vacation for a brief time.

This time, a nightclub in the Azores is suffering from the influx of spirits of early portuguese settlers partying in the club and becoming quite rowdy; how do you plan to get them to move along? It's most certainly not a job for a single person, and you don't want to wrack up the long-distance charges for a certain business to get rid of them, so it's all up to you.

B. Lay over

The flights back to Daybreak, while done on privately owned jets are still beholden to mother nature, and a large bank of thunderclouds have grounded the planes for the next several hours, leaving awaiting students and staff to try to find ways to entertain themselves while stranded in the airport. Charge ports are limited, food and airport fantasy books are overpriced and you can’t leave the terminal - how do you even survive?

C. Come Dance all Night
In Soliel, the Azores, Miami - and other parts unknown, fliers for a free concert appear advertising bands one has never heard of, and it soon becomes apparent the fliers are invisible to those not aware of the supernatural.

Going to the listed locations will prove that the adverts were legit, as bands of witches, elves, and more playing strange but extremely enjoyable hybrid music as people mosh in front of the stage, or floating above it. And overpriced vendor food was hawked from popcorn to more exotic fare such as dewdrops (with humans cautioned against partaking it without a handy friend nearby). All in all it's a fun night of music.

D. IRIS NETWORK
This month’s network prompt is a very simple one.

However difficult the professor's classes are isn't something I'm too concerned with. [That is to say: hard or not, she's going to get through them. She has to.]

As for any other classes, I haven't given it as much thought as I probably should have. Apart from the lessons that I need, I suppose anything I can find the time for would be good. [She fiddles with the straw sticking out of her own drink for a moment.] Assuming that I will have any extra time, that is.

[She picks up her glass and, completely ignoring the straw, takes a large gulp.]

I've actually found most instructors here give us a pretty decent amount of free time. There's not as much homework as I thought there would be. Which is good, if you ask me. There's too much stuff at this school to spend all of our time with the nose in the books because of homework.

[He takes a couple of fries off his plate, pausing for a moment to think.]

It's different if that's what you want to do, though.

[And then he shoves them into his mouth.]
