OOC heads up
Jun. 8th, 2006 07:58 am![[identity profile]](https://www.dreamwidth.org/img/silk/identity/openid.png)
I just want to warn you guys that I'll probably be kind of MIA until Tuesday. I might make it on tonight, but I have end of the school year/prom/graduation/relatives being in town, so I'm generally not going to be online as much for the next few days. My apologies go out especially to Peyton-mun, whose RP I've been shamefully neglecting, and also to Ender-mun, who I think is finally getting some free time right when I'm getting busy. Perhaps we can finally have that Peter-Ender conversation next week?

As some of you know, I had knee surgery yesterday, and I don't want to remain out of bed for any extended length of time, so my participation here will be limited for the next few days. Normal function (including the next WART broadcast) will be resumed soon.
And for the record, I am high on Vicodin right now. Whee!

Ryuuji's collection of books on S & M is returned undamaged, though the Slytherin might discover evidence of a repair spell on The Seductive Art of Japanese Bondage. There is a note attached to the stack:

Potions class sign-up sheet

The following is posted outside the Great Hall and in the common room of each House.
(( OOC: The fine print.
First off: Last time I assigned pairs. This time, I'd like you to choose your own pairs OOCly -- you can arrange that in the comments to this post, or elsewhere -- but please let me know what you've decided. This way, I can claim that the pairs were ICly assigned, which gives you the option of choosing a partner that your character ICly doesn't know or even hates.
I'll start posting stuff for the class at 8 pm Eastern Daylight Time of the night specified, but of course the RP can continue well into the next day -- Stephen isn't going to interpret realtime as identical with gametime, so don't worry that you're going to get docked points or kicked out if you're not at the keyboard when I am.
The only way your char will be interpreted as having skipped class is if you tell me OOC that you want that. Otherwise, you can retroactively send Stephen an illness excuse or something of the sort. Ditto for interpretations of "leaving class early"; unless you tell me otherwise OOC, once your char shows up, they're interpreted as being there for the duration, since obviously Stephen isn't the sort to let people flit in and out of the room whenever they like.
A final note: Stephen is not inclined to hold personal 'detentions'. Characters who have genuine difficulty making their potion -- which will be a relatively foolproof one -- will be asked to serve a 'detention' with him that is in reality another chance for them to try to make the potion. Characters who are acting up or causing mischief in a way Stephen sees IC as being on purpose will be notified to serve a detention with Nny and Teatime. I don't want to send anyone's char to Nny and Teatime without OOC consent and ideally advance planning, so I wanted to make that clear. However, you are welcome to plan "accidental" mishaps insofar as the fairly foolproof potions assignment permits, or if your character is known to have some handicap that Stephen can't fault them for -- e.g., Real!Ron wasn't held accountable for the misdeeds of Puppet!Ron.
Also. If you're signing up because you think it would be out of character for your char to pass up the class, but in reality you don't have the time/inclination to RP it out, please do go ahead and state that when you sign up! That way you won't let down a potential partner.
Enough said? Any questions, feel free to bug me. ))
Potions class will be held the evening of 13 June (Tuesday of the upcoming week). Those interested in taking Potions should sign up here. List your full name -- with the personal name, in Western order, preceding the surname -- as well as your House affiliation. If you have no surname, supply the name of your place of origin, and that will be used as your surname.
S. Maturin, potions master
R. Otogi, potions assistant
