TEST DRIVE MEME - AUGUST


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.

What? No. Why does everybody ask me those questions? Keith asked if I was raised in a church, and I think he might have actually meant it.

bolderfell: No judgment. I love stupid people. They're good for business. (Promotional art) (OHHH 🗡️ So it IS that you're stupid.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2019-08-19 01:42 am (UTC)(link)
Huh. Well, were you?

[He probably doesn't mean it.]
stavros: Kokoro blushing indignantly. ([c] failtastic trainee)

[personal profile] stavros 2019-08-19 01:54 am (UTC)(link)
Of course not! ...well, I suppose it's possible, but I wasn't! And it doesn't answer why people ask those things.
bolderfell: Gotta steal to eat. (Promotional art) (NOM 🗡️ Gotta eat to live.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2019-08-19 01:59 am (UTC)(link)
[He shrugs.]

It's what we've seen in the movies, probably. Funny how many of those you watch when you live a life with vacations in it.
stavros: Kokoro about to use her whip. ([a] ready to go)

[personal profile] stavros 2019-08-19 02:10 am (UTC)(link)
Not everything is like the movies. Like how nobody really has a 555 phone number. How are things like magic any different?
bolderfell: The real poisoned apple was the friends we made along the way. (Official art) (APPLE 🗡️ A little Snow White.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2019-08-19 02:13 am (UTC)(link)
C'mon. You gotta admit, magic school is a little bit like the movies.
stavros: Kokoro holding her regular whip. ([a] no tripping)

[personal profile] stavros 2019-08-19 02:25 am (UTC)(link)
Not that much! I don't think...
bolderfell: ...All right, Ophilia, you're okay. (Promotional art) (BUNNY 🗡️ Huh.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2019-08-19 12:44 pm (UTC)(link)
So which parts are different? I'm putting my money on daily feasts in a big banquet hall, myself.
stavros: Kokoro turning. ([c] hi there)

[personal profile] stavros 2019-08-20 01:28 am (UTC)(link)
Oh, we do have those, but usually only at night.
bolderfell: No judgment. I love stupid people. They're good for business. (Promotional art) (OHHH 🗡️ So it IS that you're stupid.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2019-08-20 11:43 am (UTC)(link)
Smiling but cryptic headmaster? Motley crew of characters teaching classes?
stavros: Kokoro holding her regular whip. ([a] no tripping)

[personal profile] stavros 2019-08-20 03:48 pm (UTC)(link)
Professor Jailbreak alone covers that one for the entire school...
bolderfell: Gotta steal to eat. (Promotional art) (NOM 🗡️ Gotta eat to live.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2019-08-20 03:50 pm (UTC)(link)
I have to meet that one.
stavros: Kokoro blushing, tearing up. ([c] b-but...)

[personal profile] stavros 2019-08-20 03:51 pm (UTC)(link)
You will sooner or later. She's fond of projects that involve more than her own classroom. ...And other things.
bolderfell: It's funny because--yeah. (Official art) (Default)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2019-08-20 03:52 pm (UTC)(link)
'Other things'?

[Should he be worried.]
stavros: Kokoro annoyed. ([a] what did you do)

[personal profile] stavros 2019-08-20 03:58 pm (UTC)(link)
If there was something you were happier not knowing, there probably won't be.
bolderfell: No one will ever believe you. (Promotional art) (SMILE 🗡️ A sight rarer than dragonstones)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2019-08-20 04:04 pm (UTC)(link)
[Haha, goddamn, this poor kid.]

Sounds like there's a story there, but I won't pry. You know. To protect my own innocent ears.
stavros: Kokoro ready to fight. ([a] beside you)

[personal profile] stavros 2019-08-20 04:14 pm (UTC)(link)
[sigh] All right, perhaps we are a little like the movies. But it can't possibly be one to one.
bolderfell: ...All right, Ophilia, you're okay. (Promotional art) (BUNNY 🗡️ Huh.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2019-08-20 04:36 pm (UTC)(link)
Great. So I won't have to learn how to walk in robes?
stavros: Kokoro about to use her whip. ([a] ready to go)

[personal profile] stavros 2019-08-20 05:10 pm (UTC)(link)
Of course not. Unless you already have them, I suppose.
bolderfell: Gotta steal to eat. (Promotional art) (NOM 🗡️ Gotta eat to live.)

[personal profile] bolderfell 2019-08-20 09:25 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't even have a bathrobe.
stavros: Kokoro saying it's fine. ([c] trying to look competent)

[personal profile] stavros 2019-08-20 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
You'll find this place is a little unorthodox at times.
