OOC: New rules and information format!

[ugly-old-hat.livejournal.com]

The format of the rules and community info page have been streamlined! This does not mean that any of the rules and policies have changed, it only means that we've removed a lot of the unnecessary and redundant information. We hope this makes things much more convenient for both our veteran players, our new players, and any future players. If you see any information that you feel is missing or should be clarified, please alert a mod and we'll get it taken care of as soon as we can.

COMC: How to Sex Your Furby

[dinosaurman.livejournal.com]

It was the promised second half of Care of Magical Creatures, and it was being held in the same calendar year! In the same season, no less!

Normally, COMC would have been a boring lecture followed by a group activity. Today, though, the professor was unprepared. Unprepared, unmotivated, and uninterested. So instead, written on the chalkboard was an assignment:

Male Furbies
-Larger body size
-More pronounced curve of the beak
-Longer fur tuft on top of head

Female Furbies
-Smaller body
-Longer toes
-Wider hips

WHAT GENDER IS YOUR FURBY? DISCUSS.

Since he was technically supposed to be in the room while he was "teaching," Grant was sitting at a desk at the front of the room, reading a book. He'd even put it down if somebody asked him a question. And while Grant was normally a stickler for proper terminology, there was no way in hell he was going to tell his students to "sex your furby."

((COMC Rules: There are no partners or assigned groups. This is an open RP to all students, even people who aren't on the list or don't have furbies. If your character is furby-less, you can assume they pick up a loaner furby at the door. There is no right or wrong answer. If you need prof or TA attention, PLEASE put a note in the subject line.))

Application for Bean, Ender's Game/Ender's Shadow

[beantheory.livejournal.com]

A tiny boy appears in the Sorting Room. He appears to be about five years old, and small for that age, with thin hair and dark eyes. In reality, he is seven. The lingering effects of early deprivation haven't been wiped out, despite looking lean and strong. And he's careworn, unusually so for a child so young.

The boy takes a long moment to look around the room, quick eyes drinking in everything: the layout of the room, the exits (door, wide enough for him to go through even with five adults blocking the way; four windows, highly-set but not impossible to reach; a chimney-place), the furniture. There's no one about so he pads to the fireplace first, examining its usefulness as an escape route. It's difficult to be certain by sight alone. He's tempted to climb up and find out - it's possible that this connects to a network of some kind - but the inside of the flue is coated with soot. He has no way of knowing how common soot-covered (or naked, if he chose to save his clothes the abuse) children are in this place. It can wait.

The gravity pressing against him is noticeable. There's no underlying, subliminal sense of motion.

Bean is back on Earth.

Half-sock and owl to Tomo

[margrat.livejournal.com]

Gustav remembered what he'd been told about White Day in the nick of time - or perhaps, considering the amount of scrambling that ensued, sometime past the nick. He had no idea of the going rates and nearly cleaned himself out of money (including the two gold coins he'd gotten for a Sorting bribe months ago) to get some chocolate from a smirky man with a limp - called himself a "drow" - who left Gustav suspecting, somewhat belatedly, that he'd been had. Once more.

Anyway...

owl to Maia, warded of course

Maia:

I met another you in the library the other day.

Would there be a story behind this besides the one she has told me? I confess myself curious.

Pi Day [Open RP]

[wright-phoenix.livejournal.com]

Okay. Silly? Perhaps. But all during grade school, his class would celebrate Pi Day on March 14th. Mainly for the excuse to bring food to class.

But hey, why not?

So Phoenix got a pizza and a pumpkin pie, and knew where there were more to be gotten.

((OOC: This means I'm back. I'm not sure how active I'll be, but I'm going to try. Really hard. Again. I know I said that last time, but I mean it now. Besides, where else can I get my daily dose of crack?))
