2018

11/01 | Thursday
Ulrich Roth runs into Jordan James at the arcade. He's alone and seems distracted and unhappy, though he still makes an effort to be friendly. He doesn't stay long. After he's gone and Ulrich starts playing a few of the games, they notice the initials 'JZJ' at the top of many of the games' high scores lists. Are these Jordan's? Guy's good at Mortal Kombat!

11/02 | Friday
Late Friday afternoon, the Supports feel a rift open suddenly near the lighthouse and then close again. Alarmed, Mr. Gladstone, Ms. Voss, Lenore, Meredith Rhydderch, and Russell Reeve get into Mr. Gladstone's car and go to check it out. By the time they arrive, the rift is still closed but there's a school bus parked a distance away from the lighthouse. Apart from athletic bags and a cooler full of water bottles and Gatorade, the bus is empty. A search of the area finds nothing and they worry that the occupants of the bus were lured into the Shadow World.

Fearing the worst, they return to Finchwood Academy and try to figure out what to do as the story of the missing students begins to unfold on social media and local news outlets.

11/03 | Saturday
✨EXPLORATION: Squads 1, 2, 3, 8, 10, and 12 are sent through the rift to find the missing Haling High students. The remaining squads are told to rest up as much as they can... just in case.

11/04 | Sunday
In an effort to have some fun after yesterday's stress Emma Lilywhite, Martin Geary, and Sullivan Sinclair go out to the tire swing at night before curfew. They all try to pile on at the same time, and... oops, the rope breaks! At least no one is hurt?

11/05 | Monday
Luke Pokorny finds a bag of Halloween candy in one of the common rooms, and eats about half of it way too quickly. They feel pretty sick afterward. And also flee the scene before Cecilia Blackwell (who owns the bag) can come back. Sorry!!

11/06 | Tuesday
Mr. Moon recruits Rose Chapman to help him fix the tire swing. It's not a big job, obviously, so he seems to just want some company.

11/07 | Wednesday
Dustin Espinosa heads into Haling Cove after class and sees a student they saved while in the Shadow World. Their eyes linger on Dustin for a long moment and they look a bit dazed. Like they're having a moment of deja vu. While they seem to snap out of it, they give them an uncertain smile as they walk by. Awkward.

11/08 | Thursday
Ms. Hayward approaches Conway Loxton and Russell Reeve about learning a duet that she recently finished composing because she's been impressed with their performance in class. In the midst of their conversation, she admits that the melody came to her in a dream, though she immediately seems embarrassed to have said that.

11/09 | Friday
✨A message appears in the journals from Khalil, thanking everyone for what they did last week. There's also an invitation for another party! Those that RSVP on the post will find themselves extremely tired early on Friday night. After falling asleep, they wake up in an unfamiliar part of the Velvet Room for a shindig with the resident party ghost.

11/10 | Saturday
🎂Happy Birthday Lillian Armstrong!
Neal Valentine got very drunk last night and doesn't remember leaving the party. When they wake up, they find themselves on their common room couch with Khalil's blue jacket draped over them like a blanket. Did he help them get back? Later that afternoon, the jacket is gone.

11/11 | Sunday
Community Outreach is making another trip to the local nursing home, this time to work on Thanksgiving crafts with the residents! Kodi Hansen is now, apparently, going to marry no less than five of the residents' grandchildren. Pearl Kline, meanwhile, talks to an old man that tells him he knew Ms. Voss when she was a teenager - she was always such a nice kid. He's glad she's back in town.

11/12 | Monday
Marzio Sarno is digging around in their backpack for one of their notebooks before class, and finds a crumpled up piece of paper. When they smooth it out, it's entirely covered in large, angry, and unfamiliar handwriting - 'Get Out Get Out Get Out Get Out'.

11/13 | Tuesday
Roles for the Drama Club's upcoming production of Peter Pan are announced!

11/14 | Wednesday
During Gaming Club, Atticus Starling organizes a game of charades! It's a lot of fun but Ella Calloway proves to be exceptionally bad at it and nobody can interpret single one of their clues all night.

11/15 | Thursday
Support students determine another rift will be opening on Sunday - Squads 4, 5, 6, 7, 9, & 11 will head in this time.

11/16 | Friday
Venus Rosales and Noah Dressler decide to sneak into Haling High School and get a sneak peek at the rehearsals for Grease. So far, things are shaping up to be thoroughly mediocre apart from the unfamiliar girl playing Sandy (who sings like an angel!). When they go to sneak back out, "Sandy" herself catches them and smirks confidently, telling them to beat that. Oh, it's on now.

11/17 | Saturday
Mason Chambers is still a bit nervous before going into the Shadow World, even if it's starting to feel more familiar now. They seek out Lenore for a bit of advice, and she's surprisingly reassuring - she's got faith in all of the students at Finchwood.

11/18 | Sunday
✨EXPLORATION

11/19 | Monday
Thalia Mitchell is the last one out of the Velvet Room after training, and catches sight of an unfamiliar denizen as they're leaving - it's a girl with a mask similar to Khalil's. She stares directly at them for a few moments before disappearing through a door. If they try to follow her, they find the door is locked.

11/20 | Tuesday
It's a sunny fall day, and Wallace Dunn decides to take Sunny on a walk around campus - they end up playing in the leaves together, and it's probably the cutest thing passerbys have ever seen.

11/21 | Wednesday
🎂Happy Birthday Dustin Espinosa!
Classes are canceled for Thanksgiving break! Students can return home if they choose to as long as they're back by Saturday evening.

11/22 | Thursday
THANKSGIVING. Classes are canceled for Thanksgiving break! [Character at School X] organizes an extra special surprise for Thanksgiving! A... hand turkey drawing station? It's pretty fun, at least.

11/23 | Friday
Classes are canceled for Thanksgiving break!

11/24 | Saturday
Before leaving to head back to school, Eli Gardner almost reveals something about Finchwood Academy that they shouldn't on accident. They feel a strange mental pressure until they've successfully changed the subject. Is this the effect of the contract?

11/25 | Sunday
✨Irene has heard rumors that students are aspiring to take down her precious pet, the Big Bad. While she considers this ridiculous at their current level of skill, she still wants to encourage them and help them hone their abilities. She arranges for a voluntary training session during which student-formed squads can face... the Little Bad.

11/26 | Monday
On their way to class in the morning, Gregory de Leon nearly trips over a tree root. One freshman walking behind them says something snide, but another speaks up on Gregory de Leon's behalf. It's just early! They're normally super graceful!

11/27 | Tuesday
🎂Happy Birthday Pearl Kline!
Kyra Wilkie gets to the studio before everyone else, and finds that one of the mirrors along the wall has been shattered. This seems bad.

11/28 | Wednesday
🎂Happy Birthday Ulrich Roth!
Willa Siskin and their squad manage to do impressively well at squad training today, and Irene gives them a small prize for their efforts - a pack of blueberry flavored gum. Maybe it has ~*magical properties*~ (it doesn't).

11/29 | Thursday
Returning to their room after class, Marina Sarno finds their desk and the area surrounding it wet. Any books or notebooks left on the desk are open as if someone was reading them and are, of course, sopping wet. There's a bent pair of glasses resting at the center of the mess.

11/30 | Friday
Hadlee Loxton overhears some freshmen talking, and learns that one of them had accidentally smashed the dance studio mirror trying to do a really aggressive pirouette. Ugh, mystery solved.

There will be a new game at the Velvet Room party this month: the King's Game! Those that have played Persona may be familiar with this, but for those who haven't here's a quick overview. The King's Game is a Japanese party game wherein everyone draws a chopstick from a cup that either has a number on it or the word KING. The king is the only player that reveals what's on their stick and will then give orders for the others to follow based on their numbers. For example: 1 and 5 have to kiss, 2 and 3 have to swap clothes, 4 has to do an impression of Lenore, and so on. When the king is out of numbers, they draw again and someone else gets to be king. It's very much a truth or dare, 'have fun while humiliating your friends!' game with a twist!

In-game, this is how we'll be approaching it:

Sign up below to have your character participate! The number of characters we get will determine the number of groups we have since the groups need to be small enough to be manageable.
When the party starts, we'll RNG a certain number of rounds to see who got the king and who got the other numbers. We'll email these results out to people individually to maintain anonymity. So, if Lyss signed up Pearl, we'd send her an email saying that Pearl got the following results:

ROUND ONE: King
ROUND TWO: 3
ROUND THREE: 6
We'll post a header for each group at the party and the king can give their orders! Shenanigans ensue??

If you have any questions, just ask! This is new for us but it sounded like fun, so we wanted to try it out. If you're interested, sign up under this header! Each player can sign up a maximum of two characters.

Lyss IS going to sign up Pearl!!!!!!!!

~~I don't know which of my others yet.~~

Slade and Pearl! let's leave Kyra alone.
