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.

[If Charlotte was looking to surprise her, she's rewarded with Masaki jumping nearly a foot in the air, and almost tumbling off her seat. She whips around, eyes wide to look at the stranger--and then laughs in embarrassment. If there's a threat in the way that Charlotte is speaking, Masaki seems oblivious to it for the moment. Or maybe she's just like this with everyone...]

Oh, they're not secrets! I just made all of that up. You know-- It's like a game? You watch people, and you make up stories about them. About who they are, or why they're there. The wilder, the better! It's completely harmless.

[badinfluenza]

Hmm? Is that what you think?

[It's the truth, but Charlotte would rather pretend that everything Masaki's said is true and isn't as harmless as she'd like to believe.]

Even if that were the case, you have to keep in mind...people will believe just about anything. Can you really say it's harmless when someone might take you seriously?

[taiyounoyou]

[Is that what she thinks?] ...Yyyes?

[She certainly doesn't know anything about these people, so if she is saying something true, then it has to be a complete coincidence. In which case, anyone could make a similar guess!]

No one is going to believe that kind of stuff! It's like fantasy. They're more likely to just think I'm weird. [Which... she is.] But if they did know it was real, then they'd know it's all silly anyway. Vampires aren't actually like that, and daemons don't just hang out in an air port terminal, making deals. And fae are a lot weirder than normal children.

[At least as far as she knows...]
