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.

She doesn't push this time--if anything she looks a little admonished for asking in the first place. Which is a little silly on it's own because... He's a hollow. It's not like she has to worry about hurting his feelings.

Except she sort of feels like she does. The way he says that, the way that he talks about whoever this woman is... It's not the sort of thing she expects a hollow to be concerned about. He sounds... upset. And she feels strangely, uncomfortably like a jerk in that moment. To a hollow.

She frowns at him, the conflict showing on her face. "I wasn't going to press it," she states, just for the record. Because clearly he thought she was going to. Her next words come out a little stilted in her awkwardness. "I'm... sorry about what happened to her. And that our names are the same. That must have been... weird."

He expected a question. Did you kill her? He doesn't know how he would have answered. He only knows what the answer would have been.

Her easing up confuses him. He doesn't trust it.

"...Chh. what for? You didn't choose your name. Or your face. You weren't there. And even if reincarnation worked like that, you're not nearly young enough. It's a coincidence. Nothing more." And then he forces a grin, in his voice even when hidden. "Even I got a wierd comment once. Genetics likes to keep us on our toes. Now, are you going to let me do my job or--"

The ghosts are gone.

"...Where the hell did they go?"
