Minor correction. The students are all wearing a minor protective spell that kept them clean of the mess, if the students are still in the room at all.

@Denim&Venom

Ah Okay sorry

@Denim&Venom

And there fixed.

@Duality @Buck Testa @Mentis Soliloquy @Passion 

We all good to go? Been like a week since I wrapped up class. 

Also I have ideas and potential new characters I wanna try out. 

[Mentis Soliloquy 3,025]

I'm personally waiting on @Passion and Denim for Dr Duality's post (mostly Passion, though, since new character arrival). Are you waiting on anyone besides me, Denim? Also, @Buck Testa, Dru's finally free so the directions of your posts from here are pretty much at your leisure.

Kinda waiting on everyone.  VP needs to address Ley and Kat for ditching class and Miko's demands for a new phone and workers comp. Waiting to see what Ghalan does next. And we also need to get @Lektra Bolt integrated.  I don't know what the direction is for everypony else. I kinda presumed they wanted to go to a class that actually taught magic. So who wants to handle that?

Let's save that for when he actually know where we're taking all this.

Rose is currently in the arena and Shadow's walking around, so they are both open for interaction

Duality is so far blissfully ignorant of all of that due to Mental Voice's shenanigans with Miko's text and the fact that attendance issues don't directly notify her unless they're specifically from the hydromancy department (deans are generally the ones to go to for pastoral concerns in Salem as opposed to VPs). Voice did send Miko a livestream of her own derriere on Duality's behalf, however, which should be fun for whenever she gets around to checking a device.

@Lektra Bolt, you still in for this madhouse? Our periodic slow points are more than made up for by the times of smooth flow.

I'm rather a fan of going with natural story flow, so it's less of a matter of where the plot will take the characters and more of how the plot will adapt to the characters as they work through their own stories. I think I'll post a bit more of the villain/s in my next few posts, though, probably roping in @Buck Testa's loopy singing lady or more likely @Passion's most recent introduction. Hopefully some good subplot hooks lodge themselves in my grey matter in the process.

If anyone wants to go to another PC-run class just let me know, though. It could be Lektra's starting point as a character.

So who's the dean again?

Dunno for that class. Duality's dean of the hydromancy department, but I don't think anyone else has claimed deanship of any other departments, let alone one that includes such a category-defying class as Miko's. Might have to be dealt with by an NPC.

Maybe Miko is actually the dean?

But of what department is the real question; her class is out there enough that there's not much likelihood of any other class fitting in the same department-style domain of deanship. If her class doesn't fit into any particular department then she'd be responsible for most of the logistics behind it simply as a teacher (including pastoral matters), in which case she'd either have to deal with it herself or manually escalate it up the hierarchy to some head office denizen sufficiently willing to take on the extra work (which would probably entail Duality all over again, but in a 'want to stay on her good side' kinda way).

I tend to disappear for a while due to this, but I'm not dead, I promise. It's at about a month that people can start worrying 

I pretty much need to fix her classes and the way aging works, and figure out a history that works with everyone else and what's been presented so far

Yup, that's about the long and short of it. Take as long as is required for IRL matters, though, I'm all too familiar with their dread sway myself.

Extra-magical affairs? I imagine any class not directly dealing with magic would be under her direction. Language, phy.ed, health, art, music, history, ect. So basically, regular school stuff. 

[Passion 3,484]

Yep, I was supposed to post on the weekend the latest but got tangled up in the vines of being drunk really responsible duties

Ah, I see; that sounds like a pretty good solution. I suppose someone would have to be in charge of such things, although I can't imagine many PCs wanting to go through mundane classes.

No. I guess not. Just the one's Miko hosts. 

So I suppose Miko will be dealing out detentions then?

If she deems it proportionate punishment, although it seems awfully stringent for someone with a school-inspired grudge against the system.

[Denim&Venöm 18,689]

It's a grudge against the system for letting the students down. Miko's initial grudge came from being sent to Salem as an adult and being treated like a child, despite knowing magic already. Now Miko want's to upstage Salem by showing them how the job really should be done. She's not being stringent because of school policy. She's being stringent because Ley and Kat are being annoying delinquents and making her job harder than it needs to be. It's more her authority being dismissed, not the schools. 

[dragon4111 914]

So how is everypony doing?

[Duality 10,739]

 @Buck Testa

How are things going with you - do you think you'll be able to get a post up soonish? No worries if not, it's just a fortnightly prod.

[Denim&Venöm 18,689]

@Duality 

I take it that this RP is dead now?
